“Sweetheart, if you love me you would help Celine” Emily raised her voice with a straight face. Her angry gaze sliced at Jones.
Jone's eyes pop out, and he nudges Emily
“Babe, how could you believe Celine? She's filled with deceit and probably lying about everything. I know her plans, she wants to murder people and use your pure hands to clean the blood stains so she could go scot-free.” Jones let out, poisoning Emily's naive mind.
Emily heaved a sigh, looking into Jone's eyes “If she wants to use me, I'm available. I'm that friend that is available in need” Lucas shrugs his shoulders.
“You don't learn from your mistakes, don't you? After everything's over, you will come by for help.” Jones boasts, chinning up.
“Emily, come over here. I think I found something.” Celine's voice echoed from Bianca's room. Emily walked out of Jones, following Celine's high-pitched voice.
“You are gullible…fool” Jones yells. Emily paid a deaf ear to Jone's cry.
Emily spotted Celine with a map in her arms. She hastens towards Celine, she holds the map. Emily's eyes trail the markings on the map. Celine leans back “This is my mum's handwriting, but why would she use a map instead of a smartphone? I'm confused ”
“I have no idea but I'm optimistic about this,” Emily responds with a beaming smile.
“Let's get going!” Celine ordered.
Emily's smile transformed into a frown, she crouched on the bed, biting her nails “What if he's dead?”
“Do you mean my dad…Did I mean Lucas? He would be fine, trust me!”Celine convinced her. Emily smiled but her heart is troubled like a whirlwind. She giggles, accompanying Celine out of the room.
They arrived in the living room. They both stayed quiet for a second after some mumbling sounds. “That sounds like Jones”
Emily's blood ran cold.
“Do you think he attacked Jones?” Emily questioned. Celine takes a step forward, Emily holds her hand, and she nods her head in refusal. Emily's grip loosens from Celine's wrist due to her sweaty palm, and her chill haze of suspicion began to crystallize as Celine brings out a gun, pointing it before her.
Celine chuckled at the spot her visage cruised. Lucas was mumbling with tape plastered on his lips, and his hands were taped together behind him so as his legs, he moves violently on the floor to get up but it was difficult. Celine couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Emily runs out of her hiding spot, she became curious about how the serious situation could eventually become a laughingstock to Celine.
“Ah…heh…I must say, you look good being tied up.” Celine scoffs. The whirlwind of fear and anxiety in Emily settled “Im so glad you are alive. Thanks for staying alive, sir” Emily takes a bow. Lucas mumbles, he tries to get his limbs loose from the tape but it was harder than he expected.
Emily sighs
“What a relief! I can joyfully pack some snacks for our journey” Emily drags her feet to the kitchen, she paused as she spotted a note on the floor. She picked it up with her heart banging faster “This could be a clue” she whispers to herself.
She unwraps the paper with high expectations.
“You owe me one, Emily. Don't you ever ask me to involve myself in illicit work anymore? gladly inform Celine that I ransack her booths worth 500,000 dollars.” Emily reads out.
Celine jaw drops “That little thief. I'm going to break him into pieces.” She gnashes her teeth, tightening her clenched fist.
“You need to stop despising my lover, he's a nice person,” Emily said, packing some snacks in their backpacks.
Celine rolls her eyes “Nice indeed!”
They were able to get Celine's helicopter to fly to the location the map targets. Celine's eyes were wide open when she suddenly sights the city afar, below.
“Why don't you save us the stress of climbing down this cliff” Celine suggested.
“We are out of fuel, Ma'am. Walking is the best option, right now.” Emily said. They alight from the helicopter, backing their backpacks.
Emily's eyes widens as she took a sneak peek at how far they could go.
“Quick question, how do we get down there? Do you also think we can walk that far?” Before them is a busy road filled with trucks, and other vehicles.
“Just close your eyes,” Celine uttered eyeing every vehicle there.
“Seriously? you want to play hide and seek at this moment?” Emily questions pulling on a straight face.
“Trust me and I am sorry!” Celine whispered.
“About what?…… Arghhhhhhhhhh…” Emily screams as she was falling off the mountain into a busy road. Fear pumps dark wine through her veins and sharpened all her senses, she sways her hands wishing she could fly. She was still in the air when another body jumped from the mountain. They both screamed.
Emily's legs hit the floor, her hand climbed at the back of a truck making her sway along with the speeding truck. Celine landed on the bed of the truck, she heaves a sigh of relief “That was extreme!” Celine screams.
“Did you see that, Emily?” Celine inquired. She looked around searching for Emily.
“Help” A soft voice yells beneath. Celine's visage shifts to an arm clinging to the truck.
“Emily!” Celine calls, she drags her arm, pulling her onto the top of the bed. Emily continued breathing heavily, her eyes widened and she was sweating profusely.
“Are you alright?” Celine questions.
“Do I look alright? You pushed me off a mountain or whatever that thing is called. I almost died.” Emily pants, yelling.
“Good news, we are both alive. I'm sorry for that, that was the best option I could think of.”
“Seriously? How about other helicopters above that we could easily steal?” Emily questions.
“Oh….Jeez! I could I be so foolish!”
They paused, sighting a bunch of bed trucks, speeding after theirs. They lay on the soft bed, their body sinking inside making it impossible for anyone to easily find them.
“Where are they heading?” Emily questions. Celine placed a finger on her lips shushing her.
