Open Up
The daybreak found Darius driving back home, this time using his police car. He let his ally know his location in case the suspect attempted any tricks. Approaching the house, he knocked loudly. No response.
He rapped on the door again, noting noises from within. Someone was heading towards him. His heart echoed in his ears, matching the intensity of the crucial moment he was about to experience. Suddenly, the door swung open.
She Was Hurt
Kayla was there, her countenance battered and puffed. Tommy stood behind, holding their baby. Quickly, she let Darius in and firmly shut the door. “So, you came back, huh? Why hassle us more? He thinks I’ve involved the cops, and it’s put us in hot water. You’re endangering my kids, so scram!”
Her words trailed off, ending in sobs. Darius offered her a tissue and started, “Kayla – hear this, I’m not here to worsen things. All I want is to aid you. If you’d lay out the issue, maybe I can shield you and your loved ones. Just unravel the story to me.” Who is that man, and what does he have over you?”
