                Days have passed after Gino had healed Chrishalyn who was now mobile and ready to go. Loki was delighted to have everything as planned while Gino sat in torture in Loki’s guest bedroom, guarded by Jewel who would only spend her time reading and ignoring him. But the Picas family didn’t have things going so smoothly.

 

                “Why don’t you stop for today?” Ricky eyed Mary and Max as they glare at their victim whimpering down at their feet. They were at the back of the school’s library.

 

                “I’m so sorry I won’t cut in front of you again!” said victim cried as he scooped himself into a ball. Mary merely kicked him back to the ground and stood over him.

 

                “To make sure you won’t,” Mary smiled and sneakily took his wallet and took its contents. She smirked and threw it back to the guy who merely collected it and scrambled to escape. Ricky frowned as he approached his cousins.

 

                “You know Loki and Jewel might find out what you’re doing,” he remarked. Max scoffed. “Especially Jewel.”

 

                “You’re giving that smart a*s b***h of his too much credit.”

 

                “Watch your language Max,” Ricky glared at him. Mary just sighed and rolled her eyes. “It’s your fault for letting her beat you up.”

 

                “Nothing bad is going to happen if he talks like that Ricky,” she retorted. “And don’t forget that she kidnapped Gino.”

 

                “Why don’t you try and save him?” Ricky questioned.

 

                “I can’t save HIM.”

 

                Ricky shook his head in dismay as he silently fumed. He was irritated. He could understand that his cousins are grieving but…

 

                They’re acting like children, Ricky thought.

 

                “Where did you say they were?” It was a familiar voice. That’s Loki. The three turned to the right where they heard the voice.

 

                “I told you so.” Ricky remarked as he prepared himself and stood by Max and Mary who were nervously waiting. Ricky scratched his head and listened. He listened for footsteps, small hardly audible movements and anything that could mean the number of people approaching.

 

                “Loki and two other people,” Ricky whispered as he bobbed his head and furrowed his brow. “They’re talking and judging by the voices there’s a female and the guy you beat up earlier.

 

                “Who’s the female?” Mary asked. That was a question Ricky wasn’t sure he can answer. It sounded so familiar. But he couldn’t have answered anyway since the figures revealed themselves faster than he could have moved his mouth.

 

                And the three stood, mouth agape. They didn’t know what to say and how they should react. They were simply breathless. Mary’s lips quivered as she stood, frozen in place.

 

                “Chrishalyn?”
