chapter 18

Elly was excited to see her old friend Emilia.
Kelly was not interested in the person that makes Emilia so happy all of the sudden.
She Stood up from the chair, welcoming Elly with a strong hug.
Kelly was just watching the drama without anything in his mind.
He just needs to take his leave for something more beneficial than watching this two; he stalked out of the room.
"Elly meets Kel.." she stammered when she discovered that Kelly had left the room before she breaks the hug, she and Elly just stood there wondering where he could be.
"Who was he? I mean the dude that just left", she asked not waiting for her response.
your eehe! She nudged Emilia that was just guessing what she mean by that.
She spotted a bracelet on the floor.
Elly crouched picking it up, she was admiring the gold bracelet.
she was unable to get her fingers off the bracelet.
"Elly, what's that", Emilia asked having a seat on the chair, "you're also invited to my dad's welcoming back celebration", she handout the envelope to her.
She ignores the envelope, having a seat on the sofa, the bracelet was exposed to Emilia.
Elly fixed her eyes on the gold bracelet.
"Who owns it, Emilia?"
"Hope it is one of your jewellery?" She said smiling demandingly. Emilia was surprised to see her with the bracelet,
"Are they not yours"? she added in a surprised tone.
"It doesn't belong to me", she paused staring at Elly's eyes, she can't just stop her from keeping the gold bracelet.
"You can only keep the bracelet with you - until the certified owner shows up", she said making some gesture manner.
she's was trying to recall who could leave the bracelet there, cause within the limited hour she's been attending to different visitors.
"Anything wrong?" Elly asked with some concern detected in her tone, she could sense Emilia was not paying attention to her words.
"Are you still there? she snapped her fingers".
"Yes! "she hissed, smiling at Elly.
"You just looked bothered, I hope you're okay?" She questions caringly.
Elly stopped speaking, calculating an imaginary thought in her head, she smiles when she finally remembered what she had forgotten earlier.
"Emilia, I will see you later".
"So quick", Emilia retorted. Elly was in a hurry, she picked up her belongings, smiling faintly, chaining the bracelet to her left wrist.
"Hope it looks good on me?" She asked, dangling her arms in the air. "I kind of love this bracelet, can I keep it forever?".
"It looks beautiful on you, Elly". She beamed escorting her out of the house.
.........
......
Kelly sating on one of the airport benches sticking his ear to every sounds from the speaker. He peep at his wristwatch it was already 10:00, he still had some hours left.
Kelly glances back at his wrist furiously.
Did he expect anything other than a wristwatch?
He placed the briefcase on his legs and flung it open, staring at the document in the briefcase, he rifled through the documents.
closes the briefcase, searching his pockets, he stopped trying to call back where he left it.
"I can't misplace my bracelet he mumble in displeased tone".
Kelly dawdles around trying to recall where he left the bracelet.
"Emilia!, he halts when the name hit directly in his brain.
"Yes! Yes! He stuttered but he can't let go of the flight for a bracelet.
No! the bracelet is more valuable than the flight, his thoughts retorted, he sat back on the bench, scrolling through his mobile contact resting his fingers on Emilia's number.
His mobile phone beeped, his thoughts were just far away from his presence.
"What's keeping her waiting", he mumbled with a broken tone.
He was pressured about the bracelet, he glared at the mobile screen, again and again, nothing good was just coming out of it.
He stoodup eagerly and gripped the briefcase Without looking back. He has finally made his decision to go back to the cosmetics shop.
He needs the bracelet around his wrist.
Kelly hobbled out of the airport, he just needs to confirm if he left the bracelet in the cosmetics shop.
..........
..............
  A lady fair in complexion with long dark curling hair, her movement was very short to her required destination.
The hall was crowded with people in the same uniform, they were desperate about her arrival.
She stood in front of the crowd.
"Good morning Benita", the crowd chorus, she kept silent, with her eyes focusing on each and everyone of them, she nodded and walked into the crowd examining their appearance.
The students queue up in a row of three, facing forward, Benita's hand was crossed to her back, she was in a black training outfit.
Her boot was making a different sound to the student's ear.
"What's your name?" she stopped in front of a lady that was fiddling her fingers, she was afraid to look up at Benita's eyes.
"Can't you talk? She roared, for that, you're disqualified from this training till next training season". She said ironically moving farther to the next person. Her uniform was held from behind.
She looked back in anger, the lady was on her knee, with her sight fixing on the floor. "I'm sorry Benita", she mumbled
"Guard! Guard! "She alert 
the security guard was at the corner watching what was going on in the training hall.
She was not afraid to be disqualified.
Any trainer that is disqualified from the training is completely sentenced to death, that is the reason behind her sudden action.
The guard hare up to her.
"ma'am what can I can do", the chief guard asked with hundred per cent intention to carryout any task.
"Benita! Benita!" The unknown caller hollered.
Benita was truncated of her word, she was about to declare the lady dead. She stopped and looked back at the unknown caller.
It was her messenger running up to her.
she raise her left hand, notifying him to hold it right there, he was very desperate to deliver the message he came with.
"It's important Benita", he said with his lips trembling,
Benita glared at him, for disobeying a simple order "stop".
She feels like putting an end to him; he's still useful for being a loyal servant so far.
"What so important that you can't swallow for some second"
"My apology Benita", he apologized by going on his knee, "someone with the name Jack ugly wants to speak with you - that's all Benita".
She fathoms about the unexpected information, was her messenger bluffing about Jack ugly or what?
"You're free to go", she commands the lady on her knee and spare her messager a flummoxed glance.
"Today class is postponed to the next day"
she clapped her hand continually for the students to dismiss.
.......
"Who's Jack ugly ?", one of the female students asked the other that was as confused as her.
"You seem to ask a deadly question - something that can end our life any second from now", she added angrily before walking out from her colleague.
She was dumbfounded to see her acting in such a manner.
she farrowed and walked into the crowd.
........
The room was properly arranged with tools of different sizes.
photo frames were added to the wall, the windows were left open, giving the room a little light.
Jack stood in front of the mirror his reflection was all he could see staring back at him.
He brought out his cigarette and lit it, the cigarette stick was just burning slowly in between his finger.
"Bugati", the name hit differently in his brain, he could recall some of the memory they both shared before he was arrested.
The door was opened.
Benita walked in, assisted by her messenger, Jack saw their reflection in the mirror, he chuckled and turn around,
"Longer time Benita", he said smiling and dropped the cigarette to the floor. surprised to see me? He said playing around with his words.
Benita snapped her fingers making the messenger leave the room, she tucked her hair before speaking.
"Welcome, Jack Ugly",
she said rudely having a seat and facing him. "Sure I never expected you here".
The table was occupied with books of different sizes and guns, she picked up the apple fruit on the table examining it around her finger.
"I hope you're not here for anything Jack?" she asked biting the apple and keeping her eyes on Jack.
"Cause a mere looking into your eyes I know you're here for trouble like usual", she bleats making another bite.
"Not trouble this time but a simple favour", he said placing his two hands on the table, staring directly into her eyes.
There was complete silence between these two.
"You shouldn't be asking for a favour, you should be asking for mercy Jack". She gripped one of the gun and point it directly into Jack's forehead.
"Tell me one good reason, I should not kill you now Jack ?".
she gritted with a strong ecstasy.

    First of all the idea of the author is reliable to the story. You can imagine while reading the story the situation of the characters. How the flow of the story and scenario the ideas where in you can relate. Some of the scenario sometimes you can think the reason why it happens something like that. But the author give the fully idea or how the story flow. I think the author are very dedicated on how he show about what he think because for me the story i will rate it very satisfactory good job!
