Chapter 7 Fate or a coincidence
Miley took a deep breath, and looked at herself in the full length mirror. The white bodycon dress that she wore hugged her body like a second skin, showcasing her slender figure.
She smiled lightly in satisfaction at her reflection, and reached for a pair of white sneakers which she put on. Her hair was let down to cascade down her shoulders like a waterfall of black water.
After, a twirl in front of the mirror, she grabbed her bag pack, and rushed out. She descend the stairs, and found her brother in front of the screen again, playing video games.
"Hey!" She smacked him in the back of the head, and he flinched dropping the joystick.
He gasped, and rushed to grab it, but it was already too late.
"No, no, no, no!!" He watched in horror as he lost, his eyes snapped to his sisterzamd he glared at her.
She scoffed, and folded her arms across her chest.
"Continue glaring at me, and I'll gouge out those eyes, and make you eat them" She said.
Mavis sighed, and rose to his feet.
"Where are you going?" He asked, and raised a brow.
"The public library" She replied.
Mavis frowned" On a Sunday? Shouldn't you be taking this chance to relax for once in your life? "He asked, and watched her fish for her phone in her bag.
" No can do. If I end up 'relaxing' I might fall sick or something. And besides, why stay at home when you can study in your free time"She said, and grinned.
Mavis gave her a look that said Girl, you've got problems
Miley rolled her eyes" Whatever. My Uber is here"She looked down at her phone, before looking up at him. "At around six o'clock I'll call you to come pick me up, and I hope that you will pick up your phone"She patted him on the cheek, before rushing out.
A black Van parked right across the street of the Zyra clan. It was a little after five in the afternoon, the leafs on all the trees in the surrounding area had turned a shade of golden due to the autumn season.
Aleksei glanced at the large property, and smirked. He took a puff of his ciga, and blew it out the window. He turned to his lieutenant who was sitting beside him on the drivers seat.
"How long until the spy turns off their defense system?" He asked in a flat tone, his gaze icy as he waited for his reply.
"He said that I'll take atleast an hour. He'll give us a signal when it's done" He replied, his uninjured hand on the steering wheel as he looked out into the distance. "What I still don't understand is what they were hoping on achieving for messing with us" He muttered.
Aleksei took another puff, and blew it into the air. He leaned back on the seat, and sighed.
"They wanted to rail me in. I'm curious to see what they plan to do." He spoke, and smirked.
Suddenly, all the lights in the building went out, and Alexsei raised a brow.
"That's the signal" Travis said, he pulled out a walkie talkie" Move in, I repeat!! Everyone move in!!! " He said into the device.
Miley glanced at her phone, and checked at the time, Six, fifteen it was probably time to head home. She rose from her seat, and stretched her stiff limbs.
The library was almost empty with only the librarian, and two guys who chatting softly a few feet from her.
She grabbed all the books on the table, and stuffed them into her backpack. She grabbed her water bottle, and walked out if the library.
"Bye, Mrs. Wylie" She said, and waved.
The middle aged woman looked up from the book she was reading. "Oh, Bye Miley. Have a safe trip home" She said while smiling sweetly.
Miley stepped out into the cool air, and she shivered.
I knew leaving my hoodie was a bad idea She though, and wrapped her arms around herself to keep warm.
She opened her phon and searched foe for Mavis's number. When she found it, she pressed call, but it went straight to voicemail. She frowned, and tried again, something results.
She scoffed"You've got yo be kidding me"She mutt, and tried again, voicemail. "Oh, I'm gonna kill that piece of shit the moment I get home"
She thought of trying her parents, but paused. Her parents had gone on a date, and they looked so excited when they left. An opportunity to spend some time together, as a couple that have been together for years, no way was she gonna ruin that.
She sighed, and decided to try for a Uber. She scrolled through it, and frowned at what she saw. All the rides were busy, she groaned.
"Great, could this day get any worse" She muttered, and threw her hands in the air.
The sound of screams, coupled with the strong stench of blood filled the air, as all the members of the Zyra clan were being butcheed like livestock.
A Middle aged man, in a red suit lay lifeless by Aleksei's feet, as he smoked his fifteenth cigar that day. He had traces of blood on his face, but he didn't give a fuck.
The screams that used to sound like music to his ears just seemed to go past his head. His mind kept wondering to that girl he saw. He had tried so hard to stop thinking about her, but he just couldn't. And, the cigar was no longer working in numbing his emotions. It made him sick.
A drop of blood dripped onto his black leather shoes as his mind wondered. The chaos before didn't faze him, nor did the gunshot wound he had sustained.
It was right on the left side of his stomach, but he didn't even feel the pain, and he sure as hell knew that it wasn't because of the cigar.
He clenched his jaw, and walked away from the corpse of the Zyra clan leader. He rode on the first motorcycle that he found, fortunately the key was there.
Without, informing anyone, he drove ou of the gates into the night, in hopes of clearing his mind.
Miley walked through an alley that was just a block away from her home. It was usually very bright, and safe at daytime, but at this time of the night it was giving her the creeps.
She just couldn't believe that she had to walk home, all because of her brother. Her feet a killing her from all the walking, and what's even worse is that tomorrow is the day of getting a tour of Zaileph city hospital.
She'll probably be exhausted, and will even have a hard time waking.
She suddenly halt as her eyes landed on a man who was sitting on the ground, while leaning on the wall. Her heart started racing as she wondered if he was dead.
The faint glow of the moon, illuminated the crimson spot on his white shirt, and she gasped.
She rushed towards him, but halt when the man pointed a gun at her. Her heart seemed to pound louder as she watched him.
The man's blue eyes were cold, and emotionless like looking at the eyes of a doll.
"Are you here to finish me off?" The man asked, his voice was soft, and raspy. He probably was physically weak from blood loss.
