FLOWER BOY : Episodes 21 – 30

Flower Boy

Episode 29

(Stuck in the middle of the enemies)

Anthony’s POV

Karen walked me out but I feel so irritated at how
she spits at Nancy.

“You spit at Nancy” I said
“Yes I do, I just didn’t want her in this school and I
will do everything possible to ensure that I send her
away” She said.

“Do you stand to gain anything in succeeding in
expelling her from this school?” I asked.

“You should reason with me that the poor girl actually likes you, Imagine! ” She said and I sighed.

“But why in the world will your dad tell her to resume school in the first place, isn’t that reason why Helen was kidnapped in the first place, what if
she gets kidnapped again?” She asked.

“My dad knows what he’s doing, do not worry” I replied.

“No, I have to , cus I can’t watch and let them kidnap my Helen again” she said.

“Alright, what do we suggest we do?” I asked.
“Let’s ask Dr. Nicholas why he suddenly let Nancy come back to school” She said and held me my by wrist not waiting for me to reply.

We walk hand in hand to my dad’s office. And I
could sense that she was so happy walking hand in
hand with me.
We entered my dad’s office together and he welcomed us.
He gestured for us to sit and we sat.

“I’m happy you guys are getting along now” My dad said.
Karen blushed and looked to my face .
I smiled too
“Sir, you admitted Nancy back to school, why?”
Karen asked.
My dad smirked and placed his two hands on the table and stared into Karen’s face.
“It’s between your father and I. It’s none of your
business dear ” My dad replied
“Oh!” She exclaimed and arched her brow in shock feeling embarrassed.

She stood up gently and held my wrist, I stood up and took some steps away from my dad with her
“Anthony” My dad called and I turned.
“Could you excuse us please Karen?” My dad requested and Karen stared intently at my dad for few seconds then she turned and and walked out of the office.

”Have your sit” my dad said with a serious look
and I sat.
“I dared the person that kidnap Helen the other time
by telling Nancy to resume school and that’s
because we are not on good terms ” He said and I
kept my gaze straight at him
“Helen had taken the next available flight out of the
country for safety for now , when everything settles,
she will come back.” my dad said and I still didn’t
say anything cus I wanted him to landed first.
“This person that wants Nancy expelled from the school may not stop at anything , he may either come for me or you. I’d a plan to protect myself
already but I’m scared that you might not be able to
defend or protect yourself” My dad said.

“Who is this person, if I may ask?” I asked.
“He is my boss” He replied
“I guess he is not someone I know, what issues does he have with Nancy?” I asked.
“That’s not for you to know. Just be careful of
Karen. Don’t follow her to places anyhow” My dad
warned.

“Karen! Well, She is not my … Anyways, I’ve heard you dad. I’ll think of a way to protect myself” I said and took some steps away.
I almost got to the entrance of his office when he called me
“Anthony” He called and I turned.
“You are my only son, I do not want anything to happen to you, please be safe or should I fly you out of this country?” He asked.
“Oh no dad, don’t be scared. I’ll be safe.” i said and
walked away.

Nancy’s POV
After I’d changed. I came out to meet Larry.
He examined me from head to toe and held me by my wrist
“Never mind what the girl did” He said and I nodded
“Thanks Larry” I appreciated and he smiled as he stared into my face.
I wonder why he keep looking at my face, it’s kinda
making me feel uncomfortable
“You are really pretty” Larry said.
“Thanks” I said and blushed.
He brought his face closer to mine as if he will k!ss
me. I gaze directly into his face like a kid wondering
“Wanna ask, did you have any feeling for Anthony?”
He asked softly in such a way that I felt the breath
from his mouth on my mouth.
I was stunned at the question and I closed my eye instead cus I did not want to tell him how I feel about Anthony but I quickly opened it cus I was
scared that he may k!ss me.
I don’t want that, at least not from him. I wanna
receive my first k!ss from Anthony if that will ever
happen anyways.
“I get my answer already” He said and smirked .
He held me by my wrist and he led me to my class, after which he left.

The time for break clocks and I went to Patricia’s class. We went for lunch together and had gist and crack jokes.

Patricia is just the perfect jovial girl that fits the
kind of friend I’d always wanted.
“I can’t understand Larry this days sincerely” I said
during the middle of our lively conversation at the cafeteria.
“Really? Tell me about it?” Patricia asked while
chewing the food she had just swallowed.
“He told me I’m pretty and asked if I have any
feelings for Anthony” I said.
“What did you say then?” She asked.
“I didn’t reply” I replied.
“I do not know what this Larry is up to, it seems he has feelings for the both of us or what did you think?” Patricia asked.
“I sincerely didn’t think anything, let’s just be smart
and watch” I said and Patricia nodded.

We finished eating the food and we went to our various classes.

I begin to miss Williams, ever since the last time
he told me that as$assin came to attack him, I’d not visited him.
I think I will go to his place first today before going
home and that implies I won’t be following the flower boys home. Nevertheless, I still have to visit Williams to know how he is faring . I have may
days ahead to go home from school with the flower boys.

I received the lectures as stated in the times table
and the bell for closing time rang.
I slung my back pack and went to tell Brian that I wanna go and see my dad at home.
He pulled my closer to him and hugged me.

“Alright” He said and disengaged with me
I really like Brian, so accommodating and
understanding. I turned to start leaving and I saw
Anthony with his school bag staring at me.
It’s obvious he saw Brian hug me. He looked uncomfortable
I moved sullenly and ignored him pathetically, hoping that he will call me back and probably say something.
I would have being the happiest girl in the universe if he can just call me and say something soothing.
But unfortunately, he didn’t.

I walked out of the school and chartered a cab home.

I got home and noticed everywhere was locked up,
there is no sign of anyone around. Maybe Williams
is hiding somewhere like the last time I came home.

I took few steps towards the entrance of the house
and I saw a man with a gun coming from the left
side of the house. I’m happy there are some planted flowers nearby.
I hid there and peeped at him
He was eye searching everywhere.

Could he be looking for Williams or what?
I think something is wrong. I ensured that he left and carefully find my way to Anthony’s house.
My heart was disturbed and heavy, I can’t think
about it alone. I went to Brian’s room and explained
all that I saw in William’s place to him.
He put a call through to someone and after few
minutes, Scot came around
“We can’t say if Williams had being kidnapped ,
killed or he probably ran to somewhere safe , but I
know that something is wrong cus ever since Bob
left , I’ve not heard from him and that’s quiet strange” Brian said.
“True” Scot replied
“We will have to visit the a$sassins lodge and pass
the route we passed the other time” Brian said and
Scot nodded
“Please let me follow you” I pleaded
“Oh no! You can’t. We will handle this ” Brian
promised but I’ve already purposed in my heart to
follow them.
“You can go to your room” Brian said and I stood and left.
I stood behind a car watching when Brian and Scot will leave, I also need to know where the enemy’s lodge is.

After few minutes , Brian and Scot walked outside
but I noticed their faces had being disguised, no
one would have recognize them easily.
I tip toed and followed them. They chattered a car ,
I did the same to another car,
I told the driver to trace the car that Brian and Scot
is.
The car that drove Brian and Scot finally arrived at a
very big building. They came out of the car while I
did the same and hid so they wouldn’t see me.
They whispered to themselves and Scot flew the fence of the house over. Brian waited and I watched. After a while, Brian flew the fence over too.
Should I also jump over fence? I tried but I keep
falling.
“D@mn it” I cursed.

I turned getting frustrated , someone appeared behind me and covered my nose with a toxic hanky.
I lost consciousness.

I opened my eyes and I found
myself in that same torture room.
This time around, I saw Williams and Bob hanged.
I was stunned as I see many huge men who I
assumed to be a$sassins patrolling around the
room with heavy guns in their hands.
I wasn’t tied.
Where could Brian and Scot be?
Two of the a$sassins walked inside and instantly took down the five a$sassins patrolling round the room.
I watched the two a$sassins very well and that was
when I noticed that it’s Brian and Scot. They had
disguised in the uniform of the a$sassins.
“Stay still” Brian said with his disguised face and
signaled for Scot to leave.
Scot went out while Brian packed those fallen
bodies to the darkest place of the room.
Brian placed his hand on the coms in his ear and
ran out.

Brian and Scot came back after few minutes and frustratingly remove the facial mask on their faces.
“D@mn it, their leader escaped” Scot said.
Brian rested on the wall regretfully.
“Let’s leave” Brian said and untied Williams and Bob.

We all walked towards the hidden route that leads
outside the house.
As soon as we got to the middle of the passage, many a$sassins whom I can’t count approached us with their guns.
Brian and I turned back to see if there is a hope of escaping, but we saw many more as$assins
coming behind us.
“D@mn it! We are stuck” Brian cursed painfully as
those numerous as$assins approached us from the
front and behind us.
