RÊD FLÂGS
Red Flags - Episode 83 & 84
(Badasses•Bad•Jerks)
★★★★★★★★★
The second bullet hit one of the girls, and at the same time, Master X's men opened fire on Fred himself, targeting his legs only.
Rain fell on her knees, blood spurting out of her mouth and painting her chin down to her neck.
She's actually the one who got hit on the forehead by Fred's bullet, and as she went down, Nina stood frozen, feeling like she's in a Dreamland as the smell of blood filled the air.
Chadwick quickly came to get her, pulling her fast to safety.
Rain fell to her death right on top of Adrian's body, and Fred's gun fell from him as his legs went condemned with bullets from Master X's men.
His screams rented the bridge and it's premises, and the men lowered their guns as he sat on the ground, his legs bleeding so much
Tears were coming out of his eyes and he was wailing like a widow when Levi took a giant hammer from Hazzan.
He began walking to him, and Fred began shifting back on his butt, crying and cursing.
"Don't come closer! Don't come closer!!!!"
Levi was silent till he took the last step to him and raised the hammer on his knee, slamming it wickedly on it.
An otherworldly scream escaped Fred's mouth as he slumped on the bridge rails, bleeding more from the leg.
His kneebone is already out, looking so white in the middle of the bloody mess.
He held the rails and tried standing, but he fell back on his butt and resumed his tears.
His legs are literally ruined as Levi raised the hammer again, bringing it down to the second knee.
Fred cried out again and almost jumped into the river as another blood party happened, but Levi pulled him back, dragging him to the middle of the bridge.
His blood formed a line as a result of the drag, and when Levi dropped him, he sighed, bending in front of him.
"I want to torture you for years and give you pains as your meal everyday, but it'll be useless, cos you won't be able to endure my torture for even one day before dying. I can't stand you" he said.
"Let's make a deal... I'll give you all my company papers and you can let me go" Fred replied desperately, his voice lacking energy.
Levi smiled, clicking his tongue as he stared at him.
"Your company? You mean the one getting investigated for fraud presently?" He said and stood, bringing the hammer down again, but this time, it's to the middle of Fred's legs.
The hammer landed on his balls, and it made a pop sound as it went blasted.
Fred couldn't even scream this time... His voice failed him as he began bleeding foam and blood from the mouth.
His arms went paralyzed too automatically, and he became half-dead as he lay powerlessly on the ground.
"You don't deserve to see the light of another day, that'd be bullshit. Breathing the same air as her for another day is wack. Won't be happening" Levi said, dropping the bloody hammer.
"Ever heard of cold justice?" He said, removing his sword-belt.
"You're about to experience it, firsthand" he said.
Fred couldn't even open his mouth to talk, and Levi tightened his hold on the sword before bringing it down to his neck.
Fred's head rolled out of his neck, down the bridge.
Hyce quickly placed his leg on the way for it, and the head stopped at his feet.
He picked it up and placed it inside a box, covering at afterwards.
Master X's men immediately returned into their buses, driving off with Master X himself and Hazzan.
Chadwick took Nina away, and another bus arrived.
Natasha came out of it and opened the trunk, dragging Romeo and Omar out.
They're all tied up as she threw them in the middle of the bloody bridge with the dead bodies.
"Job done" she said.
"Anytime" Levi replied, and she saluted before getting back in the bus, driving off too.
"You have the rest" Levi told Hyce, and he nodded.
Levi left too, leaving just Hyce with the rest.
"What are you planning to do!!" Romeo shouted fearfully.
"Apparently, you suggested ruining Rebekah's father reign, because she killed your Juliet?" Hyce replied, and Romeo went silent.
"And you Omar. You killed your sister, and you offed your father in the hospital too? Wow! You're something terrifying" Hyce clapped mockingly, resting on his car.
He got a popsicle and began eating it leisurely.
"What are you going to do yo us? Rain is dead and Fred is gone too!!!" Romeo shouted.
"You might wanna join them" Hyce replied, tilting his head
Romeo went silent immediately.
"Good" Hyce nodded, lifting his frame from the car.
"Death should be your only option, but you both have to get arrested and tell the cops what you did, including the warehouse saga. That way, my family can get their places back in the law frame" He said, and almost immediately, three cops cars came to a fast stop right beside them.
Immediately they saw the cops, they ordered for an ambulance too.
"What happened here?" One of them asked Hyce.
"Check the CCTV on the bridge, or ask these two?" Hyce replied, pointing at Romeo and Omar.
He winked at them before getting in his car, zooming off.
He drove directly to Isaac's place, getting a gift on his way there.
Isaac was already waiting in front of the mansion, and immediately he came out of the car, he rushed to hug him, and Hyce let out a chuckle, lifting him and swirling him around.
Isaac won't stop chuckling, holding him tight.
"So what next now? Will your parents take you back?" He asked after Hyce dropped him.
"Of course, things will fall back in place" Hyce replied, and Isaac smiled happily.
Hyce brought a small box out of his pocket immediately, and Isaac took it slowly
He opened it slowly too, and when he saw a ear stud, he smiled widely.
"This would cost thousands" he said.
"Millions actually" Hyce replied, and Isaac gasped, but Hyce quickly covered his mouth.
"Shh, silly boy. I'm a business man." he said.
Isaac removed his hand, and Hyce smiled widely, but his wide smile was shortlived when Isaac brought his lips closer, kissing him.
Hyce shut his eyes immediately, reciprocating deeply in the open.
Mrs. Lahey, Isaac's mother stood by the door, watching with a glad smile.
*
LOFT*
Emory made Silver watch Titanic close to ten times today, and this is actually the tenth time they'd be rewatching on TV.
The moment it gets to the end, Emory would start it from the beginning again.
It's like an unending circle, and Silver has no choice but watch it with her without complaining.
They're both cuddled on a chair, surrounded by snack papers and goodies which served them throughout the marathon.
"He should be back by now, what's taking him so long?" Silver complained.
"Should we tune in to the news and check what's going on?" Emory said, grabbing the remote.
She switched to the news station, and the first thing they saw was the bloody bridge scene.
They both came down from the couche immediately, watching with wide shocked eyes.
At the same time, the door opened, and Levi came in with a bloody box.
Emory rushed to him, and he tilted his head at the box.
She shakily opened it, and the cover fell from her when she saw Fred's head in there.
"Hmm...cool" Silver said, coming closer to take a look too.
"Thank you" Emory told Levi, and he smiled with a side of his bloody face.
He dropped the box, and she hugged him tight.
Silver smiled, returning her eyes to the TV.
"I might have a bad news though" Levi said, and Emory looked up.
"Huh?"
"Your parents" Levi replied, and Emory went stiff.
Her eyes widened.
*
A WEEK LATER, GRAVEYARD*
Emory decided to come alone.
She's holding a black bouquet of flowers as she came out of a white car beside the road.
She shut the door and walked grievously towards the grave.
Tate and Adrian were buried close to each other, and they're the only ones in the site.
She bought it specially in their names.
If that's the only thing she gets to do in their names, then so be it.
They ruined her life to this level anyways, and if Levi hadn't appeared, she'd have probably been long dead
She dropped the wreath between their graves, then she stood straight.
If only her mum didn't cheat with Fred, if only her dad didn't poison Fred...he wouldn't have raped her.
Would her life be any better without these theories in it?
Tears came out of her eyes, but she quickly wiped them as she looked up at the sky.
The tears came again, and this time, she just let it flow, kneeling between the graves.
Levi's bike is at the other side of the road, and from there, Levi is watching her with a solemn face.
She might have decided to come here by herself, but he had to follow her secretly.
He has made the vow to never leave her to do anything alone ever again. He'd continue being her shadow, till death.
And about Fred being her father, he's the only one who knows, and he doesn't give a f+ck about conscience right now, but he's ready to take that secret to his grave.
He'd rather die than watch her run mad.
He came down from the bike eventually, walking into the yard
He pulled her up from her knees, and even though she's shocked to see him, her teary face didn't show it.
"Xhen" she sniffled.
He replied by pulling her face to his chest, allowing her to cry there while he stroked her hair, petting her.
"They don't deserve your tears, Noah"
*
KING'S MANSION*
Rebekah hasn't been out of her room since Elsa caught her and Conrad.
The most surprising part is that Elsa didn't even tell King about it.
She continued with her day-to-day stuff as if nothing happened, and she has refused to talk to Conrad too.
The only person she communicates with is King, and even the communication is limited.
The wedding is in three days, and Conrad is dying inside, but there's no remedy to it.
He hasn't seen Elsa this morning, and he doesn't care as he walked into Rebekah's room.
Rebekah stood from her bed immediately, hugging him tight.
"We should leave Spain. Let's go to another country, we can do whatever we want over there without hinderance" he suggested.
"Really? You'll run away with me?" She shockingly said.
"I love you, and the wedding can't happen right in front of me. I can't take it" he replied, and she nodded.
"Me too, it's absurd. I'll pack my bag" she said,but he quickly pulled her back.
"No need. We'll get new things when we arrive "
She nodded again, wearing her flops and following his pull to the door.
Immediately he opened it, they met Elsa at the door with a really big bag, and a light smile on her face.
"I'll be the one to leave" she said, and they exchanged glances.
"Mother?" Conrad said shockingly.
"You've always misunderstood me, you always saw me as a gold digger who's only after men's wealth, isn't it high time I prove you wrong?" She said, and he held Rebekah tighter.
"What do you mean?" Rebekah asked.
"The wedding is cancelled." She replied, and their eyes widened.
King joined them, a light smile on his face too.
"I'm disappointed again, but this time, only because I'm not the one getting the bride..." He said.
"You agree too?" Conrad said.
"Be good, you both" he replied, and Elsa smiled again before dragging her bag down.
"Will be hibernating to Paris for a month...see you then!" She waved backwards, finally going out of sight.
Rebel immediately jumped on Conrad, and he immediately caught her.
"Yes!!!!!!!" She screamed ecstatically.
"Big yes!!" Conrad replied.
They were already kissing as he entered the room and shut the door behind them.
*
MCCALL'S MANSION*
Hyce came down from his car with Isaac right in front of the mansion, and he took a deep breath as he stared at the building.
It's been almost a year since he was disowned after he almost ruined his family, but he got an invitation to dinner yesterday, and he's more than happy to be here.
He took Isaac's hand and went in with him.
They met the whole family at the dinning room.
General McCall, then the mother... Mrs. McCall who's also a General.
The brother is on seat too, the barrister.
They all got called back to their workplaces already after Romeo and Omar confessed to the warehouse shootout.
"Good evening here" Hyce smiled.
"Good day" Isaac added
"Have your seats" General McCall gestured.
They sat beside each other, facing the three.
The dinner started silently, but two minutes later, the mother spoke up.
"Why didn't you explain to the cops last year that you all were only trying to protect your friends " she asked.
"No one wanted to listen to us. Not even you or dad" Hyce replied.
"Right" his senior brother said in support.
"Don't even start supporting him" General McCall faced him, and the guy smiled.
"Welcome back to the family" Mrs. McCall said, and Hyce smiled so wide.
"Thank you, dad"
"And who's he?" Mrs. McCall asked, referring to Isaac.
"Oh... Meet Isaac Lahey, my boyfriend" Hyce replied, and the senior brother smiled again.
"Welcome to the family, Isaac" he said.
"Thank you" Isaac smiled.
The dinner continued, and Isaac felt more comfortable than he expected.
Apparently, the parents aren't against their relationship, and he couldn't be more happy.
*
FIRST GOLDEN FOX HOTEL, NEXT DAY__GM'S OFFICE*
Nina looks overworked already as she stepped out of the conference room with her secretary beside her and bunch of junior staffs.
She only just resumed work today after the nerve-wracking revelation she received last week.
She had to lock herself down in her new house and refused to see anybody, taking time to deflect.
Saying she was drained will be an understatement.
She got to know her twin and her father at the same night, and that same night, they died.
Anyone would feel broken, but the fact that they were monsters when they were still alive helped her geal faster.
She's better off without them. She has been doing well without them and she'd continue to strive.
"I think you should clock out for today, miss" her secretly told her when she was about to enter her office.
"What about the interview for the junior manager?" Nina asked.
"I'm thinking of sending the applicants home and shift it till tomorrow" the secretary replied.
"Send the first three people in, I'll round it up today" Nina replied, and the secretary left before she finally entered her office.
She drank from her waiting cup of coffee, and immediately he dropped the cup, a knock sounded on the door.
Her 'come in' was followed by the entry of the three applicants, and she was about to smile at them when her eyes widened instead.
The last person to come in is Sabrina!
Her foster sister!
Sabrina couldn't believe her eyes either, so she froze by the door, unable to move as their eyes met.
"Have your seats" Nina finally said, comporting herself.
Sabrina joined the other two, and the interview started proper.
Sabrina answered the questions with shaky voice throughout, and Nina had to hold back so she won't burst into laughter.
The interview ended after twenty minutes, and the other two left, but Sabrina was reluctant as she packed her documents.
"Do you have something to say?" Nina asked, and she looked up.
"Just because you're a manager who interviewed me doesn't mean you have the right to...
"You're still acting tall and mighty even in my office? Are you dumb?" Nina walked out of her desk and came to her, standing toe-to-toe.
Sabrina shifted.
"What happened to the family business? I heard you have ties with Fred's company, and you got affected so much that it crumbled. Well deserved, isn't it?" Nina said.
Sabrina couldn't speak, and Nina smiled.
"You shook throughout the interview, and your answers weren't genuine, so there's no way you're getting the job. Don't bother waiting" Nina continued.
Sabrina tried to talk, but a smirk from Nina shut her up.
She rushed out of the office, fighting back her tears.
Nina smiled victoriously, walking back to her desk after flipping her hair.
The door opened again, and Chadwick came in.
"I already told you times without number to always knock before entering my office" she rolled eyes.
Chadwick went out and knocked again before coming in, making her laugh.
"I came to see Banks, and I thought of branching here" he said, taking the coffee on her desk and downing it.
"To do what?" She blinked.
"You said you've always wanted to go ice-skating, I'm here for you" he replied.
"Do you like me or what?" She asked directly.
"That's flat" he replied.
"I am" she replied, and he grinned before grabbing her hand.
"But I still have things to do" she said.
"Banks specifically told me to take you out today. You've been overworking yourself lately" he replied.
"Chad!" She pulled back.
"Come with me" he took her bag and pulled her out of the office.

THREE MONTHS LATER, GRAND CASINO*
It's Levi's 26th birthday today, and Silver has everything planned out to make it his best birthday ever, though he was kept in the dark about it.
Emory will do the job of bringing him to the casino since it's where the small party is gonna be happening.
Everything is ready, Uncle Reginald and Kara helped her a lot, but Silver gasped when she remembered she hasn't picked his gift from the accessories shop.
She was supposed to go pick it last night, but the rain ruined her chances, so now she has to rush.
She left the casino in her car, and two of Master X's men followed her in another car immediately, guarding her.
The shop is not very far from the casino, and she literally ran in when she arrived.
"The Black-ish box! The one with the golden rims" she said breathlessly to the first attendant she said.
"You're the lady from last week" the woman replied.
"Yes, today is the birthday" Silver smiled.
"I'll be right back" the woman said and rushed off.
Silver was impatient as she waited, shifting from one feet to another and checking the time countlessly.
"I'm lat...
She couldn't finish that statement when hands covered her eyes from behind, and she stopped.
"Who is...
"Guess who" the familiar voice said, and she quickly flipped the hands away from her eyes, turning around in a whim to behold the face.
It's the only black guy he knows.
BJ!
He's wearing a baggy jean and loose white shirt, then heavy boots and a face cap.
He looks unreal, but the usual goofy smile on his face is enough to confirm it's him.
"BJ?" She said unbelievably, her face white.
"It's Brandon, Brandon Johnson" he replied, and she slapped him almost immediately.
"Silver!" He gasped.
"Who said you could leave without a goodbye?" She said, tears gathering in her eyes.
"But...
"The note meant nothing! You're a bastard!" She shouted, and he immediately pulled her into a hug.
She broke it, but he hugged her again.
She broke the hug stubbornly for the second time, but instead of hugging her again, he grabbed her face and brought his face down to hers.
He kissed her, and Silver's arms dropped automatically.
*
PICNIC FIELD*
The time is currently 3pm, and the sun is riding down the horizon already when Emory appeared behind a flower tree, holding a food basket she struggled to make this morning.
Levi is sitting in the middle of the flower field, and the moment she appeared, he took off his suit, leaving him in his white shirt... first time he tried white.
He smiled widely as he saw her advancing, and he couldn't help but chuckle at her short but cute legs as she took careful steps, her skinny jeans hugging her curves sexily.
She's wearing a corset top, and her br+Ã sts are slightly popping in the front, only for his eyes though.
He'd have to cover it with his suit when they're leaving this place.
She set the food basket down in front of him, and he pulled her into a kiss, devouring her mouth till she had to break it.
"It's your birthday yunno?" She said
"Meaning I shouldn't kiss you?" He frowned.
"You told me to make you dishes. You should at least eat first" she said.
"Who said kissing can't come before meal?" He raised his brows
"Xhen c'mon... " She replied, but he remained unmoved, so she leaned into his ear and said...
"Blowjob tonight? For 10 minutes"
"Make it 15" he replied.
"Deal" she replied, and he immediately opened the dishes by himself.
He already prepared himself for the worse, and he wasn't disappointed cos immediately he tasted it, he was ready to fly.
The macaroni is so spicy that he could use a lot of air right now, but he kept eating, and Emory started praising herself again like a proud housewife.
'If I die of food poisoning, my fox killed me' Levi thought as he ate another forklift.
Emory stole several kisses from his lips in-between the meals, and that just made him chuckle.
If only she knows what's waiting for her tonight.
Her phone chimed, and she checked to see a text from Uncle Reginald.
Uncle Reginald: The party is starting soon! Bring him here!
She dropped the phone and returned her attention to him, watching him eat with great appetite.
Her friends always ran away from her cooking, they all call is poison, and she has always known her cooking is bad, not until he came by.
She smiled trickily, and immediately he drank water, she kissed him again.
He dropped the plate this time, grabbed her throat and pushed her to himself to deepen the kiss.
Emory moaned, her tits hardening on her chest as their tongues entwined, and her chest nearly bursted with the wildness of her heartbeats.
She's always like this around him... Don't judge.
He broke the kiss , and she smiled into his mouth, laying on him.
"Where the f+ck is my gift?" He asked.
"You want it now?" She blinked.
"Yeah, little fox" he replied, and she bit her lip before sitting up.
He sat up too, facing her.
She suddenly pulled down the arms of her top, revealing her collarbones.
Below her left collarbone, there's a new tattoo in Spanish which reads...
"propiedad de Xhen"
Meaning...XHEN'S PROPERTY.
Levi's eyes darkened, and his expression deepened as he stared at the sexist ink he has ever seen.
Emory pushed herself to her knees and hung her arms on his shoulders, her popping breasts almost suffocating him.
"Xhen do you like it?" She asked in a whisper, hoping he does.
Levi reeled himself in, kissing the tattoo deeply and pouring affection in the ink.
"F+çking f+ck... You're my whole f+çking world, Noah. I do" he muttered.
TBC.
