A while before Kenny left, Zeres lay perfectly still on the comfortable bed, his breathing shallow and controlled. He had feigned sleep with great skill, waiting for the moment when Kenny would leave the house. As the front door creaked open, Zeres's eyes flickered open just a crack, and he listened intently to the sounds outside.Once he was sure Kenny had left, Zeres swiftly rose from the bed. His mind raced with concern for his friend's safety. Since Kenny had received a mysterious message, urging him to meet someone at the abandoned warehouse, Zeres' knew that it would be better for him to be close to Kenny but Kenny was against it.. Zeres couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right about this whole situation. Determined to keep Kenny out of harm's way, he moved silently through the house, grabbing his gun from a hidden compartment.With practiced stealth, Zeres slipped out of the house, making sure to stay in the shadows. The moonlight guided his way as he followed
Kenny stirred in his bed as the first rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains, gently illuminating his room. He stretched his arms and yawned, feeling a mix of exhaustion and anticipation for the day ahead. With a determined mindset, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and planted his feet on the floor, ready to conquer the challenges that awaited him.As Kenny stood up, he glanced at the clock on his bedside table and realized he had overslept. "Oh no, I'm running late," he muttered under his breath. Quickly, he dashed into the bathroom, splashing cold water on his face to jolt himself awake. He grabbed his toothbrush and squeezed a generous amount of toothpaste on it, brushing his teeth vigorously to ensure minty freshness.After his refreshing shower, Kenny stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist and made his way to the closet. He pondered for a moment, selecting a crisp white shirt, a neatly pressed black suit, and a matching tie. With swift movements, he dres
Kenny's heart raced as he watched his mother's car disappear from view. Relief washed over him, and his expression slowly returned to normal. He walked over to the window and gazed outside, taking in the familiar sights of the bustling city. The worry that had consumed him in the presence of his mother began to dissipate, replaced by a newfound determination to find answers.Reaching into his pocket, Kenny retrieved his phone. It felt cool against his fingertips as he unlocked the screen and activated a small device. This device was used to activate any bugs that could have been set in the office to track his conversation. With a sense of urgency, he dialed Dave's number.After a few rings, Dave's voice crackled through the phone. "Hey, Boss What's up?"Kenny's voice trembled slightly as he replied, "Hey, Dave. I... I just needed to know if Natasha is okay."Dave paused for a moment, the silence on the other end stretching like an eternity. Then, he spoke with a hint of relief in his
The air hung heavy with tension as Kenny anxiously scrolled through the picture on his phone, he did it desperately hoping that he could figure out what it was. At this time, Ryan still sat beside him, his eyes fixed on Kenny's y screen. Kenny had to find this plant as soon as possible, these were the thoughts running through his mind this time. As the image of a peculiar plant flashed across Kenny's screen again , Ryan's heart skipped a beat. There was something about that plant, something oddly familiar. He couldn't quite place it, but a sense of recognition stirred within him, tinged with a hint of trepidation. He hesitated to voice his thoughts, afraid that Kenny would realize that he was peeping at his phone. This wasn't a good think to do, especially when it was his Boss's phone, someone he respected.Kenny, ever observant, noticed Ryan's sudden change in demeanor . "Hey, man, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine worry.Ryan's mind raced, torn between the fea
Ryan's heart pounded in his chest as he realized he might have the key to Kenny's search. The memory flooded back to him—the distinct image of a plant, one that resembled the description Kenny had given him. Without wasting a moment, Ryan sprinted to his car and fumbled with the keys, his hands trembling with anticipation.As he started the engine, his mind raced with thoughts of the old grandma's place. It had been years since he last visited, and memories of the quaint little house filled his mind. After leaving the old Grandma's place when she helped her, he had visited her a couple of times.He navigated the streets, his foot heavy on the accelerator, eager to reach his destination as quickly as possible.Minutes turned into hours as Ryan drove through familiar neighborhoods, the scenery passing by in a blur. He turned onto a street that should have led him to the old grandma's house, but the once-familiar landmarks had vanished, replaced by unfamiliar buildings and shops. Confusi
Ryan's heart was anxious as he parked his car in front of his house. The memories of what just happened flooded his mind, and he couldn't wait to share this with Kenny. He quickly dialed Kenny's number and waited anxiously for him to pick up."Hey, Sir " he said, his voice filled with enthusiasm."Ryan! What's up? You sound anxious. Did something happen?" Kenny replied, intrigued by Ryan's tone."I remembered the place where I saw that rare plant we've been searching for," Ryan exclaimed. "It was in the garden of the old grandma who saved me years ago when my mother was harassing me. Remember I mentioned her to you before?"Kenny's memory clicked, and he recalled Ryan mentioning the old grandma once during a heart-to-heart conversation. "Yes, I remember.". "Anyway, I went there to find the plant, but it was like the place was wiped off the map. The whole area looked deserted, and I couldn't find her house or her garden. It's like everything was demolished a long time ago."Kenny's e
Natasha's heart pounded with nervous excitement as she paced back and forth in her hotel room. The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the floor. Today was the day of her big audition for the second female lead in a major movie production. She had applied for the role two days ago, and she had received a call and an email the previous day asking her to go for the auditions, and now her dream was within reach.After taking a deep breath, Natasha reached for her phone and dialed Dave's number. Dave was eating the only one she knew and trusted in the new country who could drive her to the audition. The phone rang twice before he picked up."Hey, Natasha! What's up?" Dave's cheerful voice greeted her."Hi, Dave," Natasha replied, trying to sound composed. "I need a big favor. Can you come to pick me up from my hotel room? I have an audition for a movie role in a couple of hours, and I can't rely on public transport for this one.""Of course! I'll be there rig
Dave dropped Natasha off at her hotel room, his concern evident in his eyes as he asked, "Are you sure you'll be all right, Natasha?” Dave realized that her face was looking somehow paler, unlike the way it was a while ago.Natasha smiled weakly, assuring him, "I'll be fine, Dave. Thanks for being there with me today. I appreciate it."As Dave turned to leave, Natasha's voice stopped him in his tracks. "Wait, Dave! Before you go, how about staying for lunch? I'm really tired of this hotel food, and I ordered some pizza online."Dave hesitated, not wanting to intrude or cause any complications. "Oh, Natasha, I appreciate the offer, but I should probably get going. You need your rest, and there is something I wanted to attend to.""No, please just stay for lunch, am sure it won’t take long," Natasha insisted, a hint of desperation in her voice. "I ordered a lot that I won’t finish on my own, I'm sure you won’t say no to enjoying a good meal."Relenting to her plea, Dave finally agreed,
