“Celine!!” Bianca yells, snapping her back to her senses. Celine staggers, she subconsciously gulps from Bianca's cup filled with champagne.
“Yeah…yeah… let's get going. He seems to be a tough guy, you know.” Celine fully snaps out of her wild imagination about Erickson.
“You mean Henry, right?” Bianca uttered, she opens the door, heading out of Henry's cabin.
“Uhm…I was babbling about him…Henry”
Celine grabbed her gun before leaving the cabin “A gun can never be useless without a bullet.” Celine smirks.
Bianca squints her brows
“You sounded more dangerous than I thought.”
Celine winked at her
“I would love it if we would visit the doctor first, I'm uncomfortable being aware that you lost everything about me.”
Bianca chuckles, and she slams the door shut. They were outside debating about being dangerous or not. A vehicle zoomed almost hitting them.
“Hey! Are you blind” Celine yelled, she was unable to sight the driver and got frightened, Bianca pulled Celine aside, paving way for the vehicle. The vehicle halts and a person in girly shoes steps out, the reckless driver turned out to be Emily.
“Emily?” Celine blinked to be sure it wasn't a dream. She wasn't amazed at Emily's impromptu meeting but at the Mercedes that Emily alighted from with the car key dangling in her hand. She's no longer the poor stricken Emily that puts on rags, her clothing was so dope that she accompanied them with heels, she puts on her sun shades and majestically walks towards Celine.
“Oh, my fucking gosh! You look amazing. Where did you get so much money? Did you later get married to Mr. Handsome huit overnight?” Celine questions, scanning the amount Emily spent on her outfit.
“Too many questions, would you get in already?” Emily questions. Strange! How did she change so much overnight?
“Huh…okay.” Celine creased her brows, she wonders what was up with her, Emily never gives a cold response like that, that used to be Celine's anthem.
“Who's she?” Bianca finally blurts out after staring at their mouths.
“Here's Emily, my childhood friend.” Celine introduced herself with a smile.
“Oh!”
“No time for introductions. Get in the car, now!” Emily ordered with a high-pitched voice.
Celine had to let out “What's with you today, Emily? You don't use to be like this.”
Emily slightly smiles, she tossed her sunshades to the ground “Would you mind getting in the vehicle now? His life is at stake.” Emily yelled, she didn't notice that she shouted the last statement.
Celine noticed her puffy eyes and glazed face.
“Who is he? Who made you cry?”
Emily gasps, she placed her hands on her face trying to cover it up. Celine pushes off her hand “What's going on? I'm your childhood friend, I deserve answers” She cooed. Tears dropped on Emily'scheeks unchecked, she couldn't hide the pain anymore, her shoulder shrugs as she poured out her heart for the grievance was too heavy on her chest.
“Some men in black gave me this luxurious car and outfits to lure Bianca to his traps else Jones will be gone forever.” Emily sniffled.
“Oh my! Get in the cabin. We need to know more about this.” Celine ordered, going back into Henry's cabin, Emily followed dragging her feet, she was so dismayed that she couldn't help herself but weep. Bianca followed, having no idea how to relate.
“Leaving this cabin will be more dangerous than I thought.” Celine mumbles, pacing back and forth. Bianca made Emily sit.
“They threatened to murder my Jones if I don't act fast. You guys need to come over.”
“Are you out of your senses? You want to risk three lives just for that playboy?”
“Where is the third?”
“You are…you are the third person. These men will eventually eliminate you after using you. This is also a trap for you.”
“You are saying this because you didn't see Jones, Jones was tied upside down by a river bank filled with enormous wild fishes. They promised to offer me money after the deeds are done.” Emily mumbles, tears flowing down her cheeks unchecked, she could hear those foolish words emitting from her mouth but chose to ignore them, she kept quiet for a minute before she could continue “I would sacrifice my life for Jones… I love him.”
Bianca was so lost, she could only nod at their every conversation.
Celine's jaw dropped, she couldn't stop herself from hitting her in the face. “Dumb! Foolish! You always say you wish to get money and study abroad, right? You always wished for a handsome suit and I'm sure you have more dreams. Do you want to sacrifice them all for that crazy playboy? I swear down, after your death, this playboy will bring whores to your every year burial ceremony and they would spit on your graveyard.”
“Watch your tongue, Celine. Enough! That's enough! Since you don't want to help, I would do it myself. I would save him myself.” Emily stood up, she ran to the door.
“By what means? Will what? What do you have? No weapons, absolutely nothing! You only have that empty skull. Mind you, some cops are also partners with these men in black.” Celine remarked. Emily paused, her forehead wrinkled as she turned around looking helpless.
“Yeah, I'm that helpless empty skull,” Emily responded. She took some steps away. “Instead, why don't you bribe one of their members to help, since they are in a group,” Bianca suggested. Celine eyes widened so as Emily's
“That sounds great. Good job” Celine appreciates. Emily turned around, she wiped her tears when she found out that there was another solution.
Emily walked towards them, she was so eager to have to be a part of that operation.
“But how would we get one of their members? Where would we find them?” Emily questions? Celine wide opened her eyes and grimaces at her “What happened to your head? You used to be the idea girl, remember?”
“Ugh…what has love turned you into?” Celine nodes.
“Okay…we need a plan!” Emily ordered.
“Yeah….now you sound more like the nerd I used to know.” Celine chuckles, Emily's wicked glare made her serious.
“Can I get a pen and book or board?”
“Seriously? How is that related to the matter on the ground?” Celine frowned. Bianca rushed into the bedroom, she grabbed some tools she sighted.
