IN BETWEEN: Episode 21 – The End
Epusode 24
“No more blood shed except you want to go through me. You will have to shoot me first before any of this women. I can see how heartless and inhuman you are. I thought I was hardened, I thought I was the shrewd one but I can see you are a beast.
You want to burn down this house with their bodies in it… including that of the kids upstairs that I can still hear their scream. This property is worth money… lots of it and I don’t know how Vero was able to acquire it but she indeed got a nice place and I won’t watch you raze it down. It won’t happen…not now that I’m involved.
So you will have to go through me before you release another bullet to either Veronica or her friend.
Pull the trigger Jubril and we will all go down together…”
Pete didn’t drop his gun as he stare at his wife daring him to shoot.
He thought she came all the way down here to support him.
She must have followed him with another car because he did not notice her car anywhere behind all through his driving.
And he was happy that Patricia will help him in clearing the mess but unfortunately she is causing more trouble for him.
Maybe he should just pull the trigger and end it all here and now.
He had planned out on how he wanted everything to go, he won’t allow anyone not even Patricia his wife to stop him.
He pointed the gun to Patricia’s forehead instead.
An unbelievable Patricia dropped her jaw in shock as the husband raise the gun to her face.
She became speechless and instead of becoming afraid she became more angrier.

“You sure do have gut to bite the finger that feeds you Jubril. What are you waiting for… pull the trigger you cowardice imbecile. Do it or is your hand suddenly frozen?
Everywhere became quiet except for Jane’s continues whispers. She was praying quietly while holding onto Veronica and watching Pete and his wife stood up staring at each other, with a gun still pointed at Patricia who was quiet now as she stood unafraid.
Pete on realizing himself dropped his hand.
“…You dares pull a gun to my face Jubril…how dare you? Patricia barked angrily.
Pete looked like he just came out of a trance as he tries to apologise.
“I’m sorry Pety, I…I don’t know what came over me. I wasn’t thinking… please forgi…”
Patricia interrupted him with a heavy slap to his face.
“We will talk about this later.
Now isn’t the time. Hurry and carry Vero to the car, let’s speed down to the hospital. We have wasted enough time already…”
Patricia asked Jane if Veronica was still breathing.
Jane said she can’t tell because she can no longer feel any pulse.
Pete said to his wife
“Is of no use. I guess she is already dead. Going to the hospital will raise a dust… questions we can’t answer.
Beside she will be too heavy to carry all the way outside the gate. Pety please listen, is better we just do away with her instead of getting into trouble because of her…”
“I insist we take her to the hospital. Let them confirm her dead or alive. This whole thing is not upto you anymore.

Go over and lift her up and let’s leave. She is your burden and you must carry it…”
He put back his gun into his cloth and rubbed his hands together
Pete went over to Veronica while
Jane rushed upstairs to the kids room but find out that the door was locked.
She rushed down again panting heavily. She told Patricia about the kids while Pete was struggling to lift Veronica from the ground.
Patricia asked Pete where he kept the key to the children’s room and Pete reluctantly told her.
Jane quickly rushed to the spot, got the key and rushed back to the room
She unlocked the door and the scared little children rushed to her and held her like their lives depends on it.
Jane noticed that they were both shaking.
She carried the boy while the girl followed as they went back downstairs.
Nobody was downstairs again, she can see them outside.
Pete carried Veronica almost lifeless body across his shoulder while running towards the gate at Patricia’s command.
Jane wish she could drop the kids somewhere but there was nobody to leave them with.
She had to run along and join them in the car.
Patricia hop in beside Pete.
Veronica’s body was at the back seat. Jane smuggled in with the children who became more scared on seeing their Mom not moving.

Jane tries as much as possible to assure them that their mother was alright, she was only sleeping.
Pete speed down to the hospital as Jane pointed out the easy way out to him.
