The Retribution Befalls
A breakthrough
*outside Blue's residence*
Ivan Maverick
Is everything okay ?
Blue Wills
Yes, everything is good. I hope I didn't disturb you, did I ?
Ivan Maverick
You didn't. You just made me a little worried.
Blue Wills
I am sorry about that.
Blue Wills
Please come in.
Ivan Maverick
*nods*
After you
*inside Blue's residence*
Ivan Maverick
So what is it that you wanted to talk about ?
Blue Wills
If I ask you something, would you please not lie ? I just want to know the truth.
Ivan Maverick
I can't make any prior promise, but I would rather keep quiet than to lie to you.
Blue Wills
I know you have strong connections, and you are a powerful man, so you must have known everything that's going on in Evergreen City right now.
Blue Wills
Can you tell me if what you were hinting at yesterday is the truth ?
Ivan Maverick
I guess you have figured out the answer by now since you requested my presence out of the ordinary and just want my confirmation. Or is it that your heart refuses to believe what your brain has already figured out ?
Blue Wills
*stunned*
Can you tell me what's going on there ?
Ivan Maverick
You are about to be cremated, tomorrow.
Blue Wills
*stunned*
What ? What are you saying ?
Ivan Maverick
All thanks to your so-called sister, Daisy. Her mother, Miss Olivia would not have left a single stone unturned if she knew that you were missing, so your so-called sister found a similar unidentified dead body as your substitute. The rest, you can figure it out yourself, right ?
Blue Wills
What about my teachers ?
Ivan Maverick
They had to accept the truth that was presented to them. Do you think they have any other choice ?
Blue Wills
*concerned*
And my friends ? Are they okay ?
Ivan Maverick
Miss Anji was rusticated because she knocked over Daisy. She was beaten into a pulp. And Mr. Winson, he was caught in an argument with a few of your classmates.
Blue Wills
*teary eyed*
Even Avin ?
Ivan Maverick
*nods*
Well to be honest, you have got a few good friends.
Ivan Maverick
*mutters*
Daisy is still halfway there to get what she deserves though. She will pay the price.
Blue Wills
Then why do you think she did that ? She can't do that, right ? Even though I am an year older than her, we basically grew up together, I took her as my own sister, we slept, ate and went to school together and whenever she was scared, I would hold her in my arms.
*looks at Ivan*
She wouldn't do this to me ?
Ivan Maverick
*clenches his fist*
You can't always expect people to always treat you the way you treat them, Miss Blue. There's not always loyalty for loyalty, love for love, its sometimes betrayal that come with it.
Blue Wills
*burst out in tears*
But why ? Even a stranger like you treats me better when we barely know each other, so why ? What did I do to deserve this ?
Ivan Maverick
*rushes to hug Blue but stops*
You did nothing. It's just that fate didn't treat you fairly.
Blue Wills
But why me? Wasn't losing my parents enough ? I never got to feel my mother's warmth, my father left me a few years later, all alone in this world. Wasn't I suffering enough already that I had to go through betrayal and that too by the person I held my closest to ?
Ivan Maverick
Betrayal never comes from outside, Miss.
Blue falls to the ground, clasping her knees with shivering hands curled up like a ball, crying with all the strength she had left after accepting such a harsh truth. No one could imagine how much she was suffering. She was mentally drained from all the past events.
Ivan decided to squat down and hug Blue, the hug that she would get if her family was still alive
Ivan hugs Blue tightly and Blue hugs him back
Ivan sat there holding Blue, a part of his shirt wet from her tears. He held her for as long as he could remember and when she fell asleep in his arms, he held her up, carried her to the bedroom, laid her and covered her with a quilt
Ivan Maverick
I hope you can let it all go and have a fresh start. It won't be easy but this time I will be with you and I will make sure that fate treats you the way you deserve to be treated or even better.
Ivan Maverick
I missed you, angel.

Evergreen City, Country S
William Cole
So where is she now ?
Daisy Wills
No idea, she must have run away somewhere far from anyone's reach or maybe she-
William Cole
Impossible, do you even know how dangerous this is ?
Daisy Wills
It does not matters. It's already done
William Cole
Still how can you be so calm ? Your sister's missing and we could get implicated in it if it is investigated deeper and-
Daisy Wills
*annoyed*
Oh please, I did send a few of my men to find her but she was nowhere to be found. What else do you want me to do ? And even if she was still here, she would be behind the bars.
William Cole
You know, it shouldn't be like this, right ? We just needed her signatures on the property transfer agreement and nothing more. Why is she lost now ?
William Cole
What if she dies ?
Daisy Wills
*grins*
Even better
William Cole
*terrified*
It can't be
Daisy Wills
Why are you caring so much about her ? Don't tell me you regret everything now ?
William Cole
It's not like that. Still-
Daisy Wills
Shh..... Our classmates are here
Some students enter the classroom, put down their bags on their respective seats and leave
William Cole
But she didn't kill anyone. It was all just out plan-
Daisy Wills
*annoyed*
I know
William Cole
You should have at least let her live a comfortable life.
Daisy Wills
You are just being annoying right now.
William Cole
Daisy hear me out-
William Cole
She is your sister-
Daisy Wills
*fuming with anger*
She is not my sister, just a half-sister.
Daisy Wills
You understand nothing, when has the world ever treated me fairly ? I just took what I deserve after all he was my father too, but he left me with nothing. How is the fair ?
Daisy Wills
Shut up, were you not involved in all this too ? Now here you are preaching me about good and bad ? Do you regret it now? Do you want to go and confess everything to the police ?
William Cole
No Daisy, I am sorry.
Daisy Wills
You better keep your mouth shut and enjoy what God has gifted you, understand ?
William Cole
Yes bossy lady.
Daisy Wills
My sweet little baby
William Cole
But still you have got to confirm everything one last time, you understand ?
Daisy Wills
Yes, I know. And our work is not done yet, there's something left.
Daisy Wills
That's a surprise sweetie.
Just at that moment enters Anji, one of their classmate
Anji
Ha, being an annoyance early in the morning.
Daisy Wills
*nervous*
When did you arrive ?
Anji
Nervous ? Don't be. I am not interested in your little love game.
Daisy Wills
*dashes towards Anji in anger*
You-
Anji
Now hold your horses or else you won't be able to bear my punches, darling.
William Cole
*holds daisy's hands*
Calm down
Daisy Wills
*yanks her hand free from William's clutch*
I will be back in a while. Don't come after me.
Anji
Look at you sighing at such a young age, you are going to get old pretty fast.
William Cole
You should handle your business first, no need to be so nosy.
Anji
I was just giving an advice considering that we are classmates.
William Cole
*mutters*
It's too late now.
William Cole
*looks at Anji and then on the floor*
Nothing.
Anji
*in her mind*
Weird, I think I heard him say late. Late for what ? Late for coffee ? Breakfast ? Late for assignment ? Assignment ? Assignment ?
Anji
*shouts*
Oh dear, I didn't do my assignment
Anji rushes towards the school gate, pushing all the other students to make way for herself through the bustling corridor
Anji
Is this a supermarket or a school ? Why so crowded ? And where is he ? Why is he not here yet ?
Anji waits at the school gate for her homework to arrive
Anji
I will be done if you don't come today.
Anji-The Security Guard
Evergreen City, Country S
Anji
Where even are you pretty boy ? Come fast. I need you.
Vie Xura
Hey man, new to this job ?
Vie Xura
I mean look at you standing near the school gate, constantly looking out. Did you take up the job of the security guard ? Something ? Short on money ?
Anji
Yes, help me out, will you ?
Vie Xura
Why not ? How much do you need ?
Anji
Bless you my dear child.
Vie Xura
*chuckles*
What ?
Vie Xura
So anyway why are you actually standing here ? Waiting for someone ?
Anji
Yeah, I am waiting for pretty boy.
Vie Xura
Is he not here yet ?
Anji
If he was, why would I wait here then ?
Anji
Are you sleepy or something ? Your brain does not seem to be working right now.
Anji
Go and rest, my dear child or others will take you as a madman soon.
Vie Xura
Yeah, have fun waiting.
Vie leaves Anji and walks towards the classroom to take a nap with all the little time he had left before class started
Anji
*shouts while waving her hand in the air*
Hey pretty boy, here. Here.
Avin Winson
Ah, A-A-Anji, h-hello
Anji
Boy come with me quick, we don't have enough time to chit-chat.
Anji grabs Avin's wrists and rushes towards the classroom at full speed, pushing her way through the corridor while at the same time Avin was bumping into some of the students Anji pushed
