\[Satan's Heirs Hideaway\]
It's past 9pm, and while Capri and Anfisa are playing chess again, Konstantin is sitting on the staircase with his tablet in hand.
He's scrolling through Nadine's life profile again.
Parents: Business moguls
Brilliance: 100 percent.
Dress style: fancy, coquette.
Likes: rainbow popcorn, pork chili.
Dislikes: Sèx, males.
"Cap, ever heard of anyone who dislikes fuckin? Please say no" Konstantin asked with a slant of his head.
"Don't tell me you're monitoring the prude girl again" Capri raised his lids.
"I don't know who's more deranged between you and Warren at this point. Why tormenting the innocent girls" Anfisa said.
"Only the prude is innocent, the pet isn't" Konstantine's voice hardened.
"And about who's more deranged, leave it all to War who slices stomachs. That shit will never be appealing to me" Capri said with slanted brows.
"Here" Ashton said, coming downstairs with printed pictures which he distributed for the guys.
Anfisa took one too.
It's a picture of a disguised woman in a phone booth, making a call.
"The fact that she thinks she's smart just makes this a lot more better" Konstantin grinned.
"Isn't that the mother of the Evelyn the framer?" Anfisa said curiously, the smokes from the marijuana kettle on the table hitting her nostrils.
"Yup, the infamous Mrs. Grace Ortega" Ashton replied, taking a hemp pop to lick.
The banging at the gate made everyone of them turn to the door.
It was Capri who stood first, tearing the door open.
The rain and the storm has stopped right now, so he literally jumped out of the house and walked to the gate.
Immediately he opened it, a punch stretched inside, coming for his face, but Capri swayed to the side, so the punch went past his face.
Capri grabbed the punch afterwards, twisting the hajd before pulling the person inside.
"Oh...it's the loverboy" he smirked when he saw Romeo's face, then he slammed his head on the gate.
Romeo bled from the mouth, but he didn't feel it before kneeling Capri in the groin.
Capri took a step back, and Romeo went after him, throwing a punch forward.
Capri ducked, then he slammed two heany blows inti Romeo's tummy.
Romeo fell on the black gate, and he spat out blood as he rolled on the ground with wounded head.
The rest came out of the house, and Konstantin nodded.
"If it's not the loverbaby" he said.
"The rate at which mongrels kept sneaking into this place lately is alarming" Ashton spoke.
"I saw him in campus earlier" Anfisa said as Romeo stood to his feet, spitting out blood again
"Where is Ixora!!! What did you guys do to her again" he demanded, and Konstantin was about to step forward when Anfisa held him.
"Don't, I know you're going to kill him" she said.
"The fact that the biggest devil is not here only means he took her, where the hell is she!!" Romeo kicked desperately at the gate.
"You guys pasted my pictures earlier to shame me, I stayed calm cos being a barber's son ain't a disease, but Ixora is where I draw the line. It's either you bring her out right now or i raze this place down!" He demanded again.
Ashton brought a zippo out of his pocket, throwing it at Romeo.
"There, set it on fire" he said.
Romeo couldn't even pick it, do Anfisa went forward, leaning to his ear.
"If I were you, I'd run along. They're only being this level of calm with you cos I'm here, and about the pictures, find your culprit harder, none of these guys would stoop as low as doing that when killing you would be more interesting. Leave before Warren gets here, that one won't mind my presence before offing you, and by the way...no one took your girl" she whispered.
Then she pushed Romeo back.
With a grind of his teeth, he stormed out of the compound.
Konstantin just knew this wasn't over.
It's far from over.

\[Creed's Family House\]
Matron is currently in her room, sitting in bed and holding her phone.
She's currently searching for a number.
She'd have made this call earlier, but the storm delayed.
She finally clicked the number, and it went through.
"Hello, commissioner?"
"Matron, I told you to stop worrying too much about this issue" the husky male voice came.
"It's impossible not to worry when her release day is drawing near. If the Chicago girl gets out of prison, then Warren will fall deeper into darkness. While he's the devil, she's like the devil's slût. She did all those malevolent things with him in jail and I'm scared. She's like his switch" Matron said.
"I'm trying my best to delay her release date, but it's impossible. I mean... she's Hawke's daughter, so you know the power within the grip of her and her criminal father." The commissioner replied.
Matron released stressed breaths.
"And about the main problem, any lead to her?" She asked.
"No one finds her unless she wants to be found, so I guess we have to wait till she shows up like she did three years ago" the commissioner replied.
Matron hung up, and another call buzzed on her phone from Romeo.
Her eyes widened, and she quickly entered the bathroom.
She turned on the tap so it'd drown her talks.
"Romeo, what the hell...do you wanna get me fired?" She whispered.
"I don't care about the hidden plans you have that's making you store the money you're making for future purposes, but scratch it. I want some cash right now. I and Bethel and dad are moving out of that alley tomorrow" he replied.
"Romeo, it's—"
"I didn't say you have a choice, mum. I'm borrowing it, when I get done with school, I'll pay you back" Romeo interrupted, and Matron sighed.
She ended the call and stepped out of the bathroom only to mery Lydia outside.
"How long have you been listening?" She asked.
"I came here immediately Elder Creed slept, a minute ago. I heard everything, but you can trust me as always" Lydia replied, and Matron smiled a little.
"Warren killed a worker today, using his usual method. I spied on him at the site" Lydia said.
"Usual method? The scalpel?" Matron faced her, and Lydia nodded.
"If you still think he's redeemable, then you might wanna change your mind. Personally, I'll give anyone who's able to redeem him my life savings" she said.
Matron swallowed.
