Chapter 57 Keep it low or I pull the trigger
After chugging down a whole glass of wine, Rose breathed out a sigh.
She told them everything that happened.
“I… I didn’t quite saw the guy’s face but if… if I see, I guess I can still point him out…”
Larry sprang up, took the car keys and went out.
“Where are you going?”Skyler asked.
“Somewhere I have to”he replied.
*
Getting in front of Boyd’s house, he got down and went to knock on the gate.
The gate soon was opened and he requested to see Boyd.
“I’m….”
Larry shoved the guard to the side and walked in.
“Hey, sir, you can’t…”
“Try to stop me..”he rolled his eyes, walking to the entrance.
Boyd then came out and seeing Larry, he let’s out a scoff.
How did he know his house.
Well… Annie. She probably told him.
Larry moved to him and took hold of his collar.
“Where. Where is Annie. Where did you hide her?”
Larry look confused than ever.
What’s… what’s wrong with him.
“You came here to ask about Annie?. So dumb.”Boyd said and yanked Larry’s hands off his collar.
“Don’t play, ignorance. You took her, you…”
“Get it together, man. Why would I take her?. Just give me one reason why I would do that.”
Larry sighed and rested his back on the wall.
“What happens?.”Boyd later asked.
“I… I… Annie is missing..”
Boyd’s eyes popped out.
“You don’t…”
“I mean it.”
“Wow. She went missing in your watch?. I’m really disappointed. After all the acts you pulled up?.”
“I feel horrible.”Larry sobbed.
“This is not the time for that. She might be in danger. We need to act fast. Do you have any thing or idea probably on who might be?”
“I .. I don’t know. But, the lady that was with her before she got abducted saw the man.”
“And who did she say it was?”
“She doesn’t know. She said she didn’t see him properly but at least, she could still point him out.”
“Well, that’s still good. Where is she?”

Larry and Boyd moved inside his mansion.
They met Rose with Skyler in the room and also, Garry, only that he was sitting in the corner of the room instead, alone.
“Where did you go?”Skyler asked.
Garry put on his head phone and rested his head on the chair he was putting on.
Boyd gaze traveled over to him and he was shocked.
What the hell??…
He turned to look at Larry, then, at Garry.
“Aren’t you the one here, and also there?”he gibbered.
“Seems so.”Larry replied.
“No, no. This is crazy!. Is my eyes now playing tricks with me??”
“We are twins. So, let’s get to work. Time isn’t just on our side.”
“Ah.. that explains it… but, seriously!. One could mistakenly take you for each other. You look damn alike.”Boyd nodded.
“Yeah?. Get your ass over here, Mr Boyd.”Larry scoffed.
Boyd glanced at Garry for the last time before settling on a chair.
“Is she the one?”he asked referring to Rose and Larry nodded.
Boyd brought out his phone and went to a folder he named *friends and family* in his gallery.
He has all the pictures of his friends and family stored there.
He tapped on Alberto photo and showed it to her.
“Here, miss. Take a look at it. Is he the one that took Annie?. If not, then swipe to the right to move to another pic.”
She collected it and titled her head.
She shook her head and swiped to the right to another pic which is Herald. She swiped again to Carlton.. again to Parker and then…. after staring at the picture over and over, she finally let’s out…
“He is the one!. This is him!!”she shouted.
They all stared at her.
Boyd collected the phone from her and lo and behold, it’s Keeton.
“I… he is the one!”Rose repeated.
Larry grabbed the phone from him.
“I don’t even know him”he scoffed after gazing at the picture.
“But, just what the hell did he want with her?”
“I know him. Infact, he’s my friend. I didn’t know he would actually think of taking this too far like this. It was just a simple flirt in the begining when we went to a dinner party together”
“Simple flirt!”Larry exclaimed.
“Oh, wow!.”he added sarcastically.
“And, did you just say dinner party?. Wow, you guys must have been having a lot of fun and damn you prick, you brought this on her. Why on Earth do you have to take her on that dinner party?!!!”
“Excuse me, young man. I won’t have you yell at me!. It’s not just a dinner party, it’s more like a business… so please… shove your ride words back into your mouth”
“That’s just the point. You take things too serious. You were suppose to find ways to get Annie out but here you are….”Garry said.
Larry sighed.
“Alright, I’m sorry. What should we do?”
Boyd bit his lip and scoffed.
He collected his phone and dialed Keeton’s number.
He picked up after a while…
“What’s up man?”
**
“What’s up man?”he said into the phone, looking at Annie.
Rico and the other man who was apparently one of the men on the ship when Pedro was sending Annie to Iraq.
He came in just in time to stop Rico from raping her.
Annie was on the bed, sulking.
He had men standing at his back.
“Where are you right now?”Boyd asked. Tapping his location at the other end.
“Me?. Why do you ask?”
“Just… well, can we meet today?”
“No?”
“Why?”
” ’cause I’m busy.”he simply replied.
“Oh, I see… alright… bye..”
“Yeah”and he hang up the call.
“That was your boss”he told Annie.
Annie face snapped up.
“Bo… Boyd??”
“Yes, Boyd!. I will keep you in here for a while before I figure out what I’m gonna do with you.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
*This is really crazy…*Annie thought.
“And, you punks…”he turned his gaze to Rico and the other man.
“Simple instructions, you refused to adhere to. I said no ‘one touches her’ but you punks went ahead at touching, not even ordinary touch.. rape her?”
“We… I’m sorry sir. I.. I…” Before he could complete his words, a sound filled the room and immediately, the room became silent as ever as Annie watched the sight in front of her in horror.
Did… did he just shot him?.
The other man moved back, afraid.
“Please, sir… please, he was the only one who….”
“Shush it. I was gonna kill you both after all. I could have had a rethink given you guys didn’t went out of the line.”he replied coldly and shot him dead.
Annie couldn’t take it anymore as she let’s out a scream.
She was frightened.
She has only watch someone being shot dead in films.
This is the first time she would be seeing someone being shot in real life and… oh!!!!
Keeton point the gun to her.
“Keep it low, or, I pull the trigger!”
