Elly's car flashlight was spreading wide on the main road, she pick a glance at the different signposts she set her eyes on.
Rolling the car steering to and fro heading in a different direction as the board direct her.
She kinda gets lost but still believes she's not. She set her eyes on another signpost, it was "Den cafe signpost", it was just a few meters away from the signpost.
She drove the car slowly in that direction.
....
..
After some minutes of drive, she set her eyes on the business building, it was way too beautiful. She parked her car and hurried into the building. There was a notice indicating closed on the door.
She can't just ignore the instruction, the cafe is closed. If Kelly is not here with Benita then her effort was just a total waste of energy.
She felt frustrated, she can't believe she did all this to prove to Harry that Kelly can't be trusted with the name of Harry's family.
She had a seat at the entrance of the cafe watching the environment, she loved everything about it from the flowers down to the light.
She's always confused about her feeling for Kelly, she doe not understand if she hates or loves him.
She stood up with no option, yes she had no other option. She was not enjoying her failure to discover everything she needed so far.
"Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!"
She heard a voice from an unknown location, her feeling was not cooperating with what she heard.
She ambled with a car key dangling from her left finger. The voice kept on coming over and over. She truncated her movement, paying attention to the voice.
"Hmm! hmm! hmm!"
The voice sounds like someone that needed help from her. She walked back to the door. she pushed it with force it wasn't locked as she thought it was. She was surprised when she noticed the door was left open all this while.
Her eyes were just going around on different items in the open hall, the hall was just not sending any message of danger to Elly due to how it was clean and arrange.
"Hmm! Hmm! Hmm"
The sound was louder when she heard it again, she hares to the kitchen, the door was spread wide.
someone was tide and hung on the twirling ceiling fan, he moved around the room as the moving fan led him
The kitchen was unkept, and plates and other things were on the floor.
"Don't kill me!!"
"Don't kill me please!!' The man pleaded while still running around the room.
Elly was left with astonishment and confusion, she was not here to kill, even if she was here to kill then it not be the Cafe barista.
She located the switched button and turn off the moving fan, in some seconds the moving fan stopped.
He hunched and huffed, his hand was still hanging on the ceiling fan.
"Don't just kill me, I will give you everything you want". He said with his body shivering and sweat breaking out of his skin continually.
"I'm not here to kill you", she said picking up a blade and cut off the rope. Freeing his hand from the ceiling fan.
"Thank you so much".
"Who put you there?", Elly asked smartly. She does not want to expose anything to the barista.
"How can I trust you?" He asked sadly.
"I just help you down few minutes ago that alone is enough for you to trust me". She commonly explained to him.
"Before they left, they warn me not to tell anybody about what happened here earlier".
"Two beautiful ladies visited here earlier. Very dangerous and strict, they told me if I try anything stupid then sorry will be my next name".
"She forced and tied me to the ceiling fan".
"Did you recognize any of them?" She asked expecting a serious answer from him.
"None of their faces looked familiar to me".
"Why are you interested in knowing them ? - the left after accomplishing their evil deed".
"Didn't you hear anything about their name?" Elly asked desperately.
"No!"
"Sorry, it was something like Benita. Yes Benita". He reaffirmed his words.
"Benita!" She bewildered.
"Someone like this?" She asked bringing out the photos she took from Kelly's cupboard
He strain his eyes to be sure if it was Benita or not due to how the photo was. "Yes, it's she". "She looks a thousand times different from this photo".
"So what evil did she carryout?" She asked patting him on the shoulder. He looked up at her.
"She poisoned a cup of coffee and gave it to someone that was invited by them".
Elly froze when she heard that word, did he mean that his brother Kelly was poisoned by Benita or another way round?
"No this is not true!!" She yelled with shock placing her two palms beside her ears.
She stepped backwards and leaned on the wall, she can believe what the barista was talking about her brother Kelly.
"Are you alright?" The barista asked confusedly due to her strange action all of the sudden.
She kept quiet, running some thoughts in her head. "should she release the secret to the barista, what if he's just acting around?"
"Nothing is just wrong". She said with a grin on her face. The grin was too weak to make the barista believe her words.
But you don't look okay, you look bothered.
I can be of help to you. The barista said with a caring tone.
"He's! He's!" She stuttered as the heavy words were unable to escape her mouth.
"Is he your husband? Your boyfriend? Or your brother?" The barista pressured Elly with questions but she only stares at him and said nothing in return.
"Know anything about this Benita?" She ask gently but her voice was dominated by anger.
"I know nothing about her. Just know Benita is very dangerous and also a boss of her own.
"So if you want to try anything crazy, then be careful, 'cause dead might be your next step dear."
"Thanks for your advice". She said existing the room.
*********
Benita can't hold the pain any longer after she had heard what Jack ugly said over the phone call, the words were seething in her heart.
She pulled down the big box that was placed at the corner of the wall, she was unable to control herself.
She lost her brother, 001. Her old lover Kelly and now Vina. She can never forgive Jack for his actions.
She stumbled to the table and sweep down all the books to the floor, her loss is more than her gain.
Is high time she takes action against Jack or she forever prepare to bathe in the ocean of her pain?
She had a seat at the table, her eyes focusing on nothing, she was just out of the world at the moment. All she needed at the moment was something that will lead her to Jack's location.
"Kpom! Kpom! Kpom!."
She was so deep in different thoughts.
"Kpom! kpom! kpom!"
The knock blare. she was brought back to her Senses, she never invited any of her students,
"then who the héll is at the door". She pondered.
Elly stood up and walked suspiciously to the door.
"Who's there?" She asked placing her hand on the door handle, opening it gently expecting somebody to be at the entrance.
Elly glanced at the entrance no one was there, she was flabbergasted.
She hold the door pushing it gently, still running different thoughts on her mind, her mode was diving into different directions while her presence was just empty.
A serious kick was applied to the wooden door, which makes her fall to the floor.
Kelly bashed into the room.
She gape when he saw him at the entrance facing her.
"She killed him few hours ago then how come another Kelly?" She fathomed
Surprised to see someone, Benita? Kelly said with scorn.
Kelly was never dead but rather he was just acting dead. The coffee was not poisoned by vina but rather she left a note inside the coffee telling Kelly to just act dead just to make Benita believe she followed her words.
When she was commanded to deliver the trunk to Jack, she stopped at a safe place and spray something in the trunk to make Kelly smell rotten so that Jack will believe that Kelly is truly dead.
The men never lock the trunk before disposing it in the water.
"I was not dead".
"I'm still alive", he was very angry and gripped Benita in the neck. I trusted you like no other but I ended up seeing I was just like a single water in the ocean.
Her heart was sorry but she can't accept the fact that she was sorry for what happened earlier, she can't just go down so low to accept she's sorry for what she did to kelly.
She kept quiet and watch Kelly gripping her in the neck. His voice was enough to tell her that everything is not going well.
