JEREMY was still standing outside the mansion waiting for Robert to return and share the news he wanted to hear, he was now sitting on a deck chair which one of his guards had brought for him.
Soon, the gates slid open and a car drove in, it was Robert.
He drove up to the garage and screeched to a halt, then turned off the ignition and alighted, then he rushed down to Jeremy, for he knew Jeremy was waiting for him.
“Done?”, Jeremy asked as soon as he got closer to him.
“Yes Boss, done”, he replied.
He nodded.
“Good, well done. I need to speak with the guards Nathan, get them here this minute”, he ordered.
“Yes Boss”, Nathan said, bowing slightly, then he pressed on a little button on a small machine he was holding, the machine looked like a car key.
In matter of minutes, the guards began gathering, coming up one after the other, out of their respective places of duty.
They were all dressed smartly in black suits and dark shades, all of them.
After they had all come out, Jeremy cleared up his throat to address them.
“I called you all here for this impromptu meeting because of an impromptu occurrence”, he began as they all listened keenly.
“In just a week, I have gotten four attacks, three directly at me, and one indirectly, but they all relates to me. You all know so well that I have tried so hard, so very hard to keep a clean record, just so to avoid such occurrences yet, some wicked souls and marauding gangs won’t just let me be. I have never offended anyone, as for the best I know.
“Well, I just called this meeting to inform us that we have to be extra vigilant and careful these days, always be on the alert and on the lookout for anything, as it seems the enemy is studying me so well, but anyways, he would study, but he would never graduate.
“So, just be vigilant, careful, and always on the lookout, when you drive along the road, the calls you make, whenever you visit a public place, and even a private place, always watch.
“I’m very sure most if not all of you has heard what happened just few hours ago, I and some others were attacked, and my car damaged, hmm”, he snorted, “I see this as nothing but a warning, that they are gonna return back in full force.
“What I don’t get to know and what I don’t even care to know is if these people who attacked my assistant, me, and those we captured are the same, but in everything, we only have to be careful, they are all our enemies.
“That is all I have to say, you can get back to your duty posts”, he concluded and they all bowed, then began leaving, in the different directions they had come from.
At the minute they all dispersed, Jeremy got up and headed for the house.
“Sir?”, Nathan called and Jeremy halted, although still backing him.
“What about the car? We leaving it just like this? Aren’t we gonna send for the automobile repairer to come check it out?”, Nathan asked.
“Let it be, just let the car be”, he said and continued his walk into the house.
Jeremy had already envisaged he was going to use the car to tell a story some day, so leaving it damaged as it is, and where it was last parked, was the best to him.
…Time Skip…
? Evening ?
Jeremy picked up the glass of water from the table and gulped down the remains of it, he has just finished his dinner.
He shoved back his seat and sat up, picked up his phones from the dining table and began walking away, heading for his room.
As soon as he got into his room he sent a text to Jasira, as usual, then waited for a response.
Jasira on the other end was lieing on the bed and watching the TV when his text came in, she didn’t reply immediately, but ignored it, focusing on the movie she was watching.
Jeremy impatiently waited for almost thirty minutes before a response dropped, he sighed, it wasn’t her fault.
@Jeremy_Petersons: I have been waiting for your reply all the while, continue making me wait.
Jasira laughed on receiving the text, really?
@JBaby: Well, I just logged in.
She typed and sent.
Jeremy sighed deeply, he was really really tired, he really had a day, yet, he was surprised he could still make out time to text Jasira.
He decided to change the normalcy.
@Jeremy_Petersons: You know what? I’m just gonna call you right now.
Jasira gasped. What? Call her? On the phone?
@JBaby: Why?
@Jeremy_Petersons: I’m sad right now, and I need a soothing voice to soothe my soul, my sad soul, besides, it’s been a very long time I heard your voice, I want to hear it again.
Wow! Her eyes widened, glistening like light.
@JBaby: Wow! So my voice is now the soothing thing huh?
@Jeremy_Petersons: Definitely.
@JBaby: Lolz, okay. So how would you do that? You don’t even have my contact.
He laughed wryly.
@Jeremy_Petersons: C’mon, I’m no fool.
Jasira just didn’t know what to say, reply him or do, she just laid on her bed staring into the phone like a moron.
Soon, a call came in and her phone rang out, jolting and startling her back into the reality.
She jerked up and looked into the phone, her heart immediately skipped a beat, it was Jeremy calling.
