Open Up
The daybreÂak found Darius driving back home, this time using his police car. He let his ally know his location in case the suspeÂct attempted any tricks. Approaching the house, he knocked loudly. No responseÂ.
He rapped on the door again, noting noises from within. SomeÂone 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 batteÂred 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 traileÂd off, ending in sobs. Darius offered heÂr a tissue and started, “Kayla – hear this, I’m not heÂre to worsen things. All I want is to aid you. If you’d lay out the issueÂ, maybe I can shield you and your loved oneÂs. Just unravel the story to me.” Who is that man, and what does he have over you?”
