“Any good news?” Mr Smith interrogated his men.
“Well, we were close to klling him when we found his office, but he got away,” Lee said, removing his mask.
“So one man beat five able bodied men, you mean to say? Are you not ashamed to bring such a report to me?” Mr Smith fused.
“It was the two of us that got in, Van Gogh and Hitler took care of his security men while Notorious kept watch outside the building” Flying dragon said.
“Does that make any sense to you? How is that my business? Wait, you guys found this one guy who is a threat to me, and you stupidly let him get away! Okay, were you able to get something else about him?” He asked.
“Yes, we followed him and found his home too, he has a wife and two kids. I think that will be enough information to bring him down” Lee informed.
“Better! Use his wife and lue him to me, I want him alive this time. I think he will be of good use” Mr Smith smiled wickedly as his men dispatched.

Mr Mc Millan entered the car, Mrs Smith sat right beside him on the left side and Stella at the other side while Skyler drove them to the man’s house.
Mrs Smith asked Sophia to stay back and take care of Justin. She said it has been a long time since she went on any mission, so she thought since this is not such a dangerous one, she has to go.
Alex, Xena and Celina followed them with another car. Gena was assigned to help guard the organization and train the new members.
“I hope your men won’t be a threat to us?” Mrs Smith asked for the second time since they embarked on the journey.
“They won’t, everyone believes that I am d.ead now, so they must have left to avoid the police suspecting them, I don’t have such loyal men” Mr Mc Millan answered.
“Remember that your mother is in our custody, and you will likely end up in six feets if you try some shit with me” Mrs Smith emphasized.
“I can assure you that the coast is clear, the only problem might be from the police, they might still be running investigations in the house and entrance will not be so easy” He offered.
“We can handle the police, it is your house, so you would have to walk in as a gentleman and we are some business partners, are we good?” She asked and he shrugged.
It was easy for them to enter the house because there was no cop present there, Celina and Alex watched the gate and outside the building.
CRACKED LIFE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
Xena and Skyler, who have driving skills, awaited for them to get in and they will do the crazy driving.
Stella accompanied them inside armed, Mrs Smith held a gun to Mr Mc Millan as he led them to his bedroom, he pushed the king sized bed and unlocked a hidden door when his bookshelf split into two parts.
The door led to an elevator, Mrs Smith and Stella thought it foolish for an elevator to be inside a non-skyscraper, let alone an upstairs building, and this small house.
They got in and was more surprised when it kept moving downwards until the last floor underground.
“How did you do this?” Mrs Smith asked as the elevator stopped and they came into a beautiful and wide room.
“Do what?” Mr Mc Millan feigned misunderstanding.
“You know the heck what I’m talking about!” Mrs Smith frowned.
“Oh, this place? It was here when I bought this building two years ago, the man that sold this house to me is a hardened criminal that once worked with me as a spy to Mr Smith, so when he left for China, I bought it and he told me about this place” Mr Mc Millan explained.
“That explains this, a very good hideout for people like you. Let’s get down to business, where is the freaking box, we need to get out of here as soon as possible so we don’t alert the police” She goaded.
“This way” he said and went to a couch beside the window. He placed his thumbs on a shiny transparent button beside the window and the chair moved backwards.
Before their very eyes a box built with iron but attached to the ground appeared, it was big enough to contain the man and Mrs Smith but it was filled to the brim with papers.
Mr Mc Millan brought out the documents and handed it to Mrs Smith. “These are all the documents I was able to get, it is proof enough” he indicated.
“Alright. Let’s get going” Mrs Smith said. Mr Mc Millan led them out. When they reached the bedroom, Alex was there panting and looking around frantically.
“What is it, Tyrant?!” Mrs Smith asked, alarmed.
“I was looking for you, we need to get out of here, there are many men dressed in black and masked out there. Skyler and Xena have taken the car to the South side. Celina is holding them back” Alex informed in a rush.
“That means we have to go through the back door, Mr Mc Millan, you told me your men are no longer with you! How did they get to find out about us?” Mrs Smith asked furiously.
“I don’t know, I don’t have too many men, I think Mr Smith sent them! He’s good at finding things out” he denied.
They all went through the back door and headed south when gvnshots sprang out behind them and they had to go down to avoid getting shot.
Celina ran out immediately and refused to give them any chance. Alex shot back at them too from his hiding place. “Coin, protect Mrs Smith and get them out of here!” He said when Stella joined them in shooting rampantly at the men.
“What about you two? We have to go back together!” She insisted.
“We can’t stay here and perish together, take them to a safe place first, that way, we will be able to find our way back!” He stood his ground stubbornly.
“Alright! Be safe!!” Stella accepted and helped take Mrs Smith and Mr Mc Millan to the car. Skyler drove away almost immediately as bvllets h!t the car from all corners.
Mrs Smith called Xena to get ready to drive because Alex and Celina are in a lot of danger and would be backing off soon.
“Cat, let’s go!” Alex called Celina when he found out the men were trying to block them in. He ran towards the car thinking she was following him too, but when he was about to enter the car, he found her still shooting back at the men.
“There’s no way we can control them, Cat, let’s get the fk outta here!” He repeated and went to grab her hand.
“Alright, let’s go!” She accepted. They ran to the car, they got in safely before someone shattered the wind screen and shot Xena on her arm, she grunted and lost consciousness immediately.
Alex took over the driver’s seat, he pushed Xena to the backseat and sped off. He saw two black jeeps chasing them through the rear view mirror.
CRACKED LIFE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
***
Tyler sneaked out of his class while the biology teacher was writing a note on the board. His friends didn’t notice, everyone was busy writing.
He heard that Molly came late to school and was told to wash the school toilet. He also knew that it was not supposed to be like that since she is a senior student, but Rhena, her arch enemy is a friend of the new principal.
Only a few students know the kind of relationship between the girl and the new principal, but Tyler has caught them making out in the principal’s office.
Ever since Sophia’s parents mysterious death, it was said that Justin’s father emerged from nowhere to claim ownership of the school, so he brought in a new principal whose management sucks.
The school has turned into something else, the only thing the man knows is how to call girls into his office to help him do this or do that, and the few female students that refused, like Molly and her friends, he does well in punishing them whether they made mistakes or not.
He ceases every opportunity to make them suffer, except the rich girls that he fears their parents might get him arrested. The school is now a living hell for people like Molly, she has many female rivals and now they connected with the principal to deal with her.
He once admired Sophia, she is beautiful, smart and sexy, but he has suddenly developed undeniable feelings for Molly, she is also beautiful, intelligent and kind.
She looks strong, but he sees through her and knows that there’s a softness to her. She is very transparent to him alone. He sneaked to the toilet’s window and watched her giving the toilet a good scrub.
He smiled at the view, who would imagine that a girl that flips her hair, pouts her lips, raises her chin and glares at him and his friends with fire in her eyes, is kneeling down on both knees and hands, scrubbing the floor with tearful eyes.
He looked around and made sure no one was watching him as he rounded the corners and came into the toilet. He locked the door and held the keys up.
She turned sharply and scrambled to her feet uncomfortably. He raised the keys to her face and grinned sheepishly.
“What do you think you are doing?” She sought for an answer and reached for the keys.
He lifted it higher and made faces at her. “What am I doing? I came into the toilet to watch a pretty girl scrub the toilet clean! Surprising, huh?!” He lifted an amused brow.
“If you have come to look for my trouble, I’m sorry, I don’t think I have the strength to argue with you this morning. Please, go” she mumbled.
“Wow, our strong and vibrant girl is so low spirited today, I love this” he shoved the key into his pocket.
“You have to open that door, someone might come in anytime to use the toilet and you will put me into trouble” she requested.
“Is that a command?” He jested, but kept a frowned face.
She shook her head, blew out a breath and put her hands together, “Tyler, I know I have wronged you, I beg for your forgiveness right here and now, and I promise not to offend you again. Please, open the door” she threw her pride out through the toilet’s window.
“What exactly are you afraid of, Molly? Is it people coming here and finding it locked, thereby putting you into more trouble, or your heart pounding when I am so close” he asked, moving slowly towards her.
“Why am I so unlucky today?” She whispered and moved backwards until her back went against the wall, there’s no escape this time.
“Tell me, it’s just the two of us here. I admit, I came to see you, because I like you. So answer me, why is your heart racing?” He asked, putting his hands at each side of her on the wall.
“Don’t be so ridiculous! Your brain must be so muddled, it is normal for the heart to beat so fast in the face of danger especially when it comes to the opposite sx” She blabbed.
“You are blabbering, Molly” he whispered, gazing into her eyes, he brought his face close enough to hers that their breaths mingled and their nose tips touched.
“Tyler, what do you want from me?” She swallowed, breathing rapidly.
CRACKED LIFE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
He reached out and took hold of her hand, he took away the rag from her hand and threw it aside, then squeezed her hands and angled his head to look at her lips.
“I want so many things from you, I want to hold you in my arms, I want to kss you, I want to touch you all over your body. Molly, I’m being serious about liking you” he said and slid his right hand to her waist.
She tore her eyes away from his and looked away, “you were all over my friend, stop deceiving yourself”
“No! Okay, yeah, like I told you, I once had a crush on her, which man wouldn’t? But what I feel for you is stronger than that, I don’t really understand it but I know that it exists in here” he said crossing his heart.
“How can I believe what you are saying when you and your friends always find reasons to trouble me and my friends especially after what happened to Sophia. And your friend raped her too, who knows if you are not here to do the same thing to me… or it could be a bet…” She stammered doubtfully.
“Look at me, Molly,” he said, hurt by her accusations. He touched her cheek, but she refused to look at his face. “Is that really what you think of me? Am I that ugly?”
“Birds of the same feather flock together,” she mumbled.
“True, should I say the same about you? I mean, you have friends too, they are from different families, they have different behaviors, and ugly past too, but they are your friends. Does that make you have the same character as them? Or you are hopping and dancing together with them to h’ll?!” He interrogated and fought back his anger.
“Maybe, it is said, show me your friend and I will tell you who you are. What? Are you not used to being rejected by girls? Are you pissed off now? Do you want to h!t me? Wait, maybe you will go out there and tell your friends and you all will come to put me in my place, good! I won’t fall for your tricks, period!!” She pushed him away from her.
He bursted into hysterical laughter and surprised her. He brought out the key from his bag and opened the door.
“I guess I will have to put more effort in my practice, you are more witty than I thought. Molly, I will have you in my bed one-day, it is a promise” he said and left.
“Good luck with that!” She murmured and continued her scrubbing.
“Is this not supposed to be the work of a cleaner? What is the essence of employing cleaners in this useless school?! I must tell my Mom to get Dad to accept the fact that I don’t like this school anymore!” She soliloquized, shedding tears for no just cause.
“Why are you so emotional now, didn’t you just tell him to go? Someone you have been crushing on finally makes a move and you stupidly chased him away, id!ot!” She murmured.
