CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN: YOU CAN’T DIE

"Get me the number of the last car that left this hotel now!" Marina commanded the guards after calling Jemmy's phone. Naysa's number was unavailable and therefor can't be tracked.

Guards poured in the hotel in a matter of seconds and the whole place was checked. Naysa's phone was found but she wasn't anywhere around. They had to track the last car that left.

…

"You took everything from me, and…" Cindy started talking.

"Where am I?" opening her eyes and looking around, Naysa asked. "Cindy! It's you?"

"What about me?" Cindy Scott asked. "I hate you bitch."

"Mother-in-law!" Naysa saw Mira.

"Don't dare call me that!" Mira walked few meters away.

"Cindy what's wrong with you? I did nothing wrong against you." Naysa struggled to stand up while about a distance of a meter, Cindy was pointing a gun at her.

"Nothing against me? Phil is dead all because of you, and the police are looking for me everywhere." Cindy said.

"Phil is dead?" Instead of saying anything more, Naysa was surprise and shocked at the same time.

"It's not time for questions!" Cindy threw a log at her but she dodged. Cindy was too mad she came and slapped her. Naysa cried out of pain.

"Fine! What did I do to you? Cindy, you planned many bad things to me, but I never revenged back. You think by killing me you'll get Jemmy, right?" Naysa asked angrily.

Mira and Cindy exchanged looks.

"Even in the face of death, you still have the guts to talk to me in the face?" Cindy said.

"Because I know I can't convince you to stop ruining your life." Naysa said.

EMERALD CASTLE

When Jemmy arrived in a hurry after Marina's message, he left with some guards and others were left behind to take care of Hank who was by then bedridden. But Hank woke up and got wind of the truth, his sister-in-law was kidnapped.

"If I get out of this bed…" Hank roared as he pulled out the tubes and syringes on him.

"Sir, calm down, you're still sick." The doctor said.

"Nobody should stand in my way!" Hank roared. "If you dare…"

"Why don't we call home? I mean, old man Grant might help." Tanner, who didn't know everything about what happened suggested. Hank gave him a deadly stare.

"Get out of my way!"

Adrian pulled Tanner aside. "If you love your life."

"What? He's sick…" Tanner said.

"You're the one who is sick of living." Adrian said. "The Grants are never predictable, ok? He can still throw you off the ground in that sick state."

…

Cindy was still fuming when she heard the screech of cars. In her state of confusion, she looked at Mira who hadn't processed what was happening yet.

"Am sorry Naysa, I was too blind to realize what I was doing but…" she pulled the trigger.

"Nooooo..."

But the bullet never arrived. Jemmy was too quick and blocked it with his body. His warm pure red blood sprayed on Naysa's face as his body met hers and the two descended to the ground.

"No… no Jemmy you can't die." Naysa screamed.

"Naysa I can't let anything happen to you." Jemmy said. "All this happen because of me, and, am sorry for everything."

"Don't say that!"

Cindy was shocked when she realized that the bullet never got Naysa but went right into the left-hand side of Jemmy.

"My goodness!" Marina ran to the two who lay on the ground with Naysa holding tightly onto Jemmy.

The guards were now rushing to Cindy's side with their guns pointed at her when she suddenly pulled out a bomb.

"If you move a step forward, I'll pull the trigger." Cindy warned while pulling Mira by her side. Mira tried to resist but Cindy stared at her. "WE have to die together."

But the guards moved forward. They were well trained and wouldn't step back on anything."Can you call an ambulance? Jemmy is bleeding out!" Marina shouted. Livia had come along and seeing Cindy try to pull out the safety pin, she moved closer. The guards split, some came to protect their boss. Naysa quickly stood up and used her body as a shield to protect Jemmy.

"Remember I love you." Jemmy said as he finally lost consciousness on the soil his own blood had colored.

And, Cindy pulled out the safety pin and pulled Mira along with her. But, the Grant's guards from country LA arrived in time to pull Mira away with minor injuries, her face burned half way.

Livia was too fast and blocked it with her body. "Naysa am sorry for everything. Remember those days when we were still roommates?" and with that, Livia died with a bandage and a bitter smile on her face.

Few guards were left hurt.

"No please… Livia!" Naysa didn't know who to cry for. Marina was too shaken to cry while Mira left half burned with those guards send from LA.

Naysa and Marina accompanied the unconscious Jemmy to hospital together with the guards.

…

When Hank tried to pull out the needles, all didn't go well and he was rushed to hospital. Aside from his sickness, he had high fever and got admitted immediately.

When the reports about what happened to Jemmy got to him, he got really mad. Not being able to control his temper and getting his health worse than it already was.

HAVEN HOME…

Before the information could be published, Frank had heard wind about it. Stenson send him a short message but he understood. After all, all the while they had been trained as the Grant's bodyguard, they had a language they understood most, they had a way of communicating in short messages which no one else could understand.

Frank walked into the house where uncle Tarran and Aunty Wen sat watching while in an intimate position that made Frank embarrassed but because of the news he had, he couldn't turn back.

"Is there something?" Uncle Tarran asked.

"Ummm… actually Jemmy and Naysa got into trouble." Frank said causing aunty Wen to drop the remote.

"What's wrong?" She stood up abruptly.

"I think you two should not worry too much. Those two can survive over anything." Frank said.

"Frank? Will you go straight to the point?" Uncle Tarran asked impatiently.

"Will you wait old man?" one thing Frank didn't know was when to be serious and when to joke. Uncle Tarran glared daggers at him.
