The anxiety that Mrs. Johnson and her Family is facing at the moment is quite normal, even though there is some of the huge conflicts that they usually faces on their daily routines throughout their lives, but the anxiety that Alex and his friend Tommy is surely surreal as their inside their house, sitting down on the top of their seats thinking on what to do next since their lives and their plans might be put into jeopardy if there secrets will be exposed by someone to the public.
Tommy stands up from his seat and goes straight to the windows, pulling aside the windows curtains in order to allow the light to spread across room as the room is dark in color.
“This is absolutely terrifying. How are we going to proceed with our mission while Edward is still inside the prison,” Tommy turns and walks back towards his seat, sitting down as he looks at Alex straight on the face. “I think we need to find a better way to solve Edward’s case right away before it’s too late.” Tommy says, reminding Alex of the consequences of living Edward inside the prison while Alex is pondering on his chair.
Alex releases a breath. “I know it is going to be hard for us if Edward will still remain inside that cell without us doing nothing, but what are we going to do now? There is no way we are going to rescue him without getting money first.” Alex replies.
Tommy shakes his head with disagreement.” No. My fear is not about rescuing Edward from the cell. My biggest fear is on what if he ends up blurting out the truth to the police officers, and then tells them everything that he knows about us, do you think it will be safe for us to be in that kind of situation.” Tommy says.
Tommy words sink deeper inside Alex’s head as he pauses for a while, thinking deep and carefully on Tommy’s words which has truth on it.
Alex shakes his head.” No, I don’t think Edward will snitch on us and tell the truth to the cops. The only thing that we need to focus on right now is to get our mission done so that when It reaches the time for us to get that money, we can make a bail on Edward for him to get outside of the prison.” Alex says.
Tommy looks at Alex with a skeptical look on his face with raised brows. “How sure are you about that boss? How long will Edward tolerate the punishment that he will be facing at the cell all this time. Don’t you think he might turn up against us if we don’t act fast enough.” Tommy says, looking at Alex with a contorted look on his face.
Even with the efforts of Alex denying the truth from Tommy, but Tommy’s words are not far away from the truth as Alex pauses for a while, thinking deep on Tommy’s words which starts to resonate inside his head while Tommy is looking at him on the opposite side of the coach with bewilderment feeling inside his heart.
“I hope Edward will not screw us big time. Because if he dares to try and screw us all to the police station and tell them everything that he knows about us. I will not hesitate to finish him off for good.” Alex speaks to his inner thoughts as he resonates on Tommy’s words while Tommy is on the other side of the coach, waiting for his boss response.

Mrs. Johnson and David are outside of the house standing behind the balcony of the house, talking to each other as other people are inside the house proceeding with their normal activities as it is still a brand-new day early in the morning, as the sun is reddish in color with the little rays bouncing on the clouds, a few rays penetrating on the ground surface.
“So, what are you going to do now David? The days are slowly counting down and there is no hope left for this mission to succeed, so what should we do now?” Mrs. Johnson asks David a question, staring at him straight on the face as David is leaning on the edges of the balcony with his hands, staring at the gate of the house with some deep thoughts.
David sighs. “I have no idea on what to do mom.” David replies.
“But son, you should have a better idea now in order to solve your messes. You only got a few days left for you to receive the call from the people who kidnapped your son Brian.” Mrs. Johnson says.
David turns his head and looks at his mother. “But what should I do now mom, the suspect that has been caught by the police has refused to say anything with all of the efforts that the police department has used on him in order to make him talk, so what should I do now mom?” David speaks to his mother with the bewilderment feeling inside his heart while Mrs. Johnson looks at her son with pity look on her face.
“I know son you are going through a tough time in your life right now… but you need to find the best solutions to your problems because the days are still counting down as the time goes.” Mrs. Johnson says, reminding David of the consequences that might happens if he delays on making a decision.
David returns back his gaze back to the gate and release a breath. “I know that mom. But I need some time to think things through first.” David says.
As Mrs. Johnson and David are talking to each other at the house balcony, discussing on what things they are going to do next in order to rescue Brian from the culprits, Suddenly Marcella arrives towards their space with nervous look on her face as her heart hammers fast from the inside.
“Good morning, Mrs. Johnson and Mr. David.” Marcella greets.
Mrs. Johnson turns and looks at Marcella.
“Good morning, Marcella.” Mrs. Johnson replies.
David removes his hands from the balcony and turns, walking towards Marcella’s space as Marcella is standing beside Mrs. Johnson’s space.
“Your brother called me yesterday, he said that he will visit you soon in the coming weeks.” David informs Marcella with a smile on his face.
Marcella gasps. “Oh really? That is some great news.” Marcella exclaims while her heart bubbles from the inside after hearing the news about her brother coming.
“Yeah, sure that are some great news. So, Marcella, what brought you here?” Mrs. Johnson asks Marcella with curiosity filled on her face.
Marcella takes a glance at Mrs. Johnson and David with the fear creeping inside her heart while David and Mrs. Johnson looks at her, waiting to hear on her response towards the question.
Marcella looks at Mrs. Johnson’s face. “Mrs. Johnson,” And then looks David’s face. “Mr. David. There is something very important which I think both of you should know about this.” Marcella says.
Mrs. Johnson and David glances at each other with contorted looks on their face, and then returns back their gazes towards Marcella.
“So, Tell us. What is it that you want to tell us right now?” David asks.
Marcella looks at David and Mrs. Johnson while her heart pounds fast with fear creeping inside her heart, unaware on how she is going to deliver the news.
