Disaster at home 2

Days passed. After the incident everyone was on the lookout for bribed officials and paid assassins. Obviously, when someone is ready to raise their voice up against the law and authority, there arises an even great power of oppression.

That fated day arrived not much later when , upon nightfall, a group of members in black clothing, came with baseball bats and steel pipes to oppress James. It was the 27 Jan, Regina's b'day. Everyone from the family was there to enjoy her day. The men knocked on the door.

Rex ( leader of the gang): "Hey people! Open the door and let James out." Scoffed him , sternly. "We've got some work to do!" he said snickering.

Hearing this, everyone in the room went silent.

Grandma Taylor : (whispering tone) " why are they here, James?"

James : ( whispering tone) " I think it's because of that incident! " (loud voice) I knew I -

Everyone : "ssshhhhhhh!" as James was speaking loud.

James : ( back to whispering tone)" okay sorry"

George : " We need to get James out of here! Now!"

As they were planning to get James out of there, suddenly came another knock!

tap tap

Man: " you can come out now, we've dealt with them."

Everyone was thrown into confusion. " dealt with them ? What?". As everyone was trying to figure it out , Lily came and opened the door...

Lily: ( happy) Nathan? ( unhinged pause) "oh Nathan! " said Lily as she hugged him.

Nathan: (still confused) " when did you come ?" hugging her back.

*** For those who are thinking \, this union is a typical friendship moment. Don't exaggerate! :)***

Next few moments, they stepped outside as Nathan introduced everyone of his team to Lily. Lily took turns to shake their hands. Seeing all this , her family members were stirred.

Grandma Xavier: ( questioning) " How does she know them?, is she a part of them ?"

Regina: ( taking her daughter's side) " now , now . Let's not assume anything , we'll just ask her when she's done, hmm?" Proposed her mother.

James took the opportunity to make up a story, he said " She must be a part of them !"

George : "What?"

James: ( smirking inside) " well, she said not to say , but few days before , I had seen her in cowsberg alley"

*** cowsberg alley is an alley where all the drug addicts of Southern California. NOTE: This is fiction \, not all places mentioned exist;)***

Everyone gasped. James satisfied at their reaction, continued stating fake proves, " papa, don't you know about the black bags they carry?"

George : nodded in agreement.

James: " Yesterday , she brought one to our home, and you know what they represent right?" Alas! Black bags are used to hide unused drugs, usually carried around by drug addicts.

Realising what he just heard , George was sad and angry. All of'em were angered at her.

Regina: ( convincing) " hey, we know that Lily will not do any kind of that stuff, right ? We raised her better than that !"

Grandma Xavier : " Yeah , that's how she is with us , Goodness knows how she is rest of the days! " to which James nodded.

By this time , Lily told her byes to the team and headed back to them to share something she found out.

Lily: ( excited)" Pa , they found some news regarding who is sending men to beat up James" said Lily as she walked toward her father." Here" she shows the id of a thug Rex.As she continues " I think the person after you is somewhere in the police department, maybe we can contact-" She couldn't finish her sentence before her dad's hand slapped her face.

silence...

Lily's face reddened. Her eyes teared up. Not knowing what she had done wrong, she asked " Wha-" sniffs " What was... why?"

George, in a stern attitude, said " No daughter of mine will indulge in such activities " saying this , he went inside .

Lily looked shocked, trying to figure it all out. She looked at her mother who was standing next to her , for answers.

By the time she understood the situation, her dad brought all her clothes and threw down...

" you are not saying here anymore!"

"But, pa ! I didn't-"

" Shut up! It's Mr. George for you now. Get out ."

"but- ...."
