Chapter 5 Revenge

• #*#
• "Your father said we should both work together on getting a cure for his illness."the new guy, Skyler said while playing with the files on Larry's table.
• "Or, didn't he tell you anything?."he added and looked up at him.
• Larry simply shook his head and sat down.
• "I'm sure you know I don't quite love your presence around here."he said
• Skyler chuckled.
• "Come on,dude. We don't need that arrogant act now, just get rid of it."he chuckled.
• He grabbed a file and gazed at it.
• "Hmm... you're really making a lot in this doctor thing,Weldon."he said and placed the file down.
• He moved his hand towards another.
• "Stop touching my things!."Larry said angrily.
• "Ooh..calm down,will ya?."Skyler chuckled.
• He sat down and sighed.
• "Have you heard anything from your brother?."he suddenly asked.
• Larry's countenance changed totally.
• "I would like it if you keep it out of our conversation."he finally said.
• "I heard he left the army al..."
• "Please, Skyler!. Just shut the damn up..stop being pesky!."Larry suddenly shouted.
• Skyler jerked back in shock.
• Okay, he wasn't expecting that.
• "Leave now."Larry said.
• Skyler nodded and stood up.
• "I will come back for the heads up on the cure."he said before stepping out.
• After he was out of sight, Larry stood up and scattered all the things on his table.
• He breathed in rage and moved to the wall and thew his head against it.
• "Ah."he gasped in pain.
• Skyler didn't left immediately. He smirked when he heard Larry groans.
• He turned to leave and bumped into Annie.
• "Oh, sorry."she quickly said.
• He rolled his eyes and totally ignored her as he walked away.
• Annie stared at him and scoffed.
• Another Larry. So rude!.
• She walked inside and met Larry still in his angry moment.
• His head was bleeding from how he hit his head against the wall.
• What?!.
• Annie gasped.
• He turned to her fully and frowned.
• "What are you doing here??"he demanded.
• "I came to..."
• "Just go fucking see your mom and get your poor ass outta here!."he yelled.
• Annie recoiled back in fear.
• What the?...
• She immediately ran out and fight back the tears that wanted to fall.
• No. He's just an arrogant prick!.
• ..
• The machine beeped as Annie walked inside the ward.
• Her mom was laying there quietly, alone.
• An oxygen mask was placed on her nose down to her face.
• Her eyes turned to Annie and some light glinted in them.
• "Oh,mom. You're fine!!."Annie said and ran to her then hugged on the bed.
• "Mom, you're fine!. Oh my, I'm so glad!."She said excitedly.
• Her mother - Rosetta,smiled.
• She rubbed Annie's back smoothly.
• She has been asking the nurse about her after she woke up and she keeps telling her she's not around and that made her really scared.
• What is more scary is how they will pay for her surgery.
• They've been avoiding it for too long because of the expenses, but, now, she has been finally operated on.
• Somehow,she wished Annie has just left her to die.
• Maybe,they wouldn't have to worry about any money.

• A lady dressed in black uniform wheeled Mr Brown around the house.
• He was out for his early morning exercise again.
• He told the maid to stop and she did just that.
• He breathed in the fresh air.
• How lovely would it have been if his wife is around him?.
• How lovely?.
• Some tears blocked his vision.
• He quickly wiped them off.
• He couldn't wait...no longer...to join her.
• He won't ever forgive his son. He won't.
• ....
• Annie fed Rosetta with the warm vegetable soup.
• Rosetta collected it and munched on it while staring at Annie.
• Annie noticed her gaze but she refused to look up at her as she just stared at her mouth.
• Rosetta gulped down the remaining food in her mouth and Annie moved another spoonful to her month.
• She gently shook her head.
• "Huh?,why?."Annie asked and she dropped the spoon. She finally looked up at her.
• "How....how are..you going to pay the money....it will be quite much,or, isn't it?."she asked lowly.
• Annie sighed.
• She forced out a smile at her.
• Oh. She didn't want to tell her she's doing what she has vowed not to do in her entire whole life on Earth just to pay off their debts.
• "I...i got a job."she lied.
• Rosetta eyes brightened up a little bit upon hearing that.
• "Really?... you've finally got a job?,since all this while?. Where's it?."she bombarded Annie with questions.
• "It's a restaurant. I got employed as a cook."she lied again. This time,she couldn't afford to look into her mother's eyes any longer.
• She has never lied to her. This is the first.
• She nibbed her bottom lip.
• "Now,you should really eat. The doctor said you need it and it will enable you to fart really well so,you can eat another."Annie changed the topic.
• She didn't want them to lingered on on it.
• "God,I hate this."Rosetta sighed.
• They had deprived her of eating for long because she didn't fart.
• But as soon as she farted,they finally allowed her to eat.
• "Don't worry,we will soon be out of here."Annie mumbled and she gave her the soup.
• "When will you be going?."Rosetta suddenly asked.
• "Hun?."Annie looked up.
• "To work. When are you going to go?."
• "Uhm...I think in the evening,I don't know yet."she replied.
• Larry is an unpredictable guy.
• He can come in the next minute and tell her to go back home or in the evening.
• "You sound unsure. Didn't they give you any working hours?."Rosetta asked, breaking Annie's thought.
• "Uh... in the evening. I will be going back in the evening."she quickly said.
• "Oh. That means I will be left alone again. When will I get discharged?."
• "Mom."Annie chuckled.
• "You're always in a hurry!."she smiled cutely.
• "Oh, really?."Rosetta asked and laughed.
• They both laughed and for that moment,their problems all seems to fade away.
• **
• Mr Sean placed a heavy knock on the door and some minutes later,the door opened slightly and a lady's face popped out.
• "Yeah?."she asked.
• Mr Sean smiled.
• "Hi, please,I came looking for the people living here, but,the house have been demolished and I decided to ask you since you're their very close neighbor. Please,do you have any hunch on where they moved to?."he asked while pointing to the other house.
• "And who are you to them?."the lady asked with a raised brow.
• "Oh,a very good friend of theirs,a family friend to be precise!."he replied.
• "They've moved abroad."she said and shut the door immediately without giving him a chance to ask another question.

• #nighttime#
• Annie slowly pulled the duvet over Rosetta's body.
• She moved in to kiss her forehead and closed her eyes.
• She opened them back and stood properly.
• She sighed before stepping out of the room. She gently closed the door and turning back, Sam's big face popped up and she jerked back in fear.
• "What?."Annie shrieked.
• "What?,did I scare you?."Samuel asked.
• "Gosh!,so much!."she replied and hold her chest.
• "Well then, sorry!."Samuel smiled.
• "Yeah, whatever. Did you came to check up on my mom?,if yes, she's currently asleep and..."
• "Nope. I came here for you."Sam said.
• "For me?"she scoffed while pointing a finger at herself.
• "Yes,you!."he smiled again.
• *Now,this guy is really weird.*Annie thought.
• "Tell me friend, what's your relationship with the doctor?"he asked.
• Annie scoffed loudly..
• "And why is that your concern?,we aren't even friends."she asked.
• "Just feeling concern, that's...."
• "Why are you feeling concern?."Annie cut him off.
• "Well, obviously. Because Larry isn't a guy a small and weak girl should be around. He is really dangerous."he replied, trying to freak her out so she would tell him the truth.
• "Well,if he's dangerous,then,I can be as bad. Let down your worries,weird doctor. Goodnight."Annie said with an eye roll.
• She took a step forward and saw Larry staring at both of them.
• His eyes were peering into her's particularly and for a second,she got lost staring into that ocean like eyes.
• She finally got control of herself and looked away.
• His head was wrapped in a bandage. He probably sustain some injuries the other time when his head bleeds.
• "Let's go."Larry said.
• She started walking away in scurries.
• What was that?. She asked her self.
• Larry looked at Sam.
• "What were you discussing about with her?."he asked.
• "Something friends do talk about. What?, you have a business in that?."Sam scoffed.
• "Keep your stay away from her, Samuel. She isn't like the others."Larry said.
• "Ugh,stop acting bossy,Larry, you're no boss!."Sam grunted and walked away.
• Larry stared at him still he was out of sight.
• He turned and also walked away.
• *
• He got to the garage and met Annie there already. She and John were both discussing.
• *Gosh. She's just always talking with everybody.*Larry thought.
• He entered the car without sparing either of them a glance.
• "What happened to him?."John asked Annie.
• Annie just shrugged.
• "Don't really know. Anger,maybe."she said.
• "Oh, right."John nodded.
• They both entered the car.
• John drove out of the building.
• They got home and as Annie stepped down,her mouth dropped open.
• How come she's just seeing this?..
• The house is frigging good!.
• The....
• "Hey,i did not bring you to my house just to stare, fucking go in there and prepare my dinner for me."Larry said grumpily.
• Annie looked at him and found him glaring at her.
• Okay?..why the glare?.
• He moved inside and she followed suite.
• He climbed the stairs up to his room and she went to the kitchen.
• When she got there,she cogitated on what to prepare for him.
• She decided to make noodles since that will be easier.
• An idea struck inside her head.
• She suddenly smirked.
• Revenge time.
• He's going to pay for talking to her rudely..
• Well,this will be fun.
• He can continue to yell at her and she will just continue to get back at him in his food.
• He brought out some cinnamon and chicken then the noodles and started cooking.
• **
• Minutes later**
• The aroma of the noodles has filled the kitchen already.
• Annie turned off the gas cooker and dished out the food.
• She took it to the dinning area and placed it in front of Larry.
• He immediately grabbed the fork and put a forkful of it in his mouth.
• His eyes suddenly became reddened and he sprang up and started gasping for breath....
