Chapter 22 The strange girl,hand her over
..
Annie managed to get back to Larry’s house.
The car was still parked in front and the side of the door was still opened.
Oh, what could be wrong.
She kept the map in her trouser pocket.
Thank God the woman gave the map to her, else she would have missed her way.
She moved to the car and hopped in.
She saw Larry’s phone lying in the car and she grabbed it.
There was many missed calls on the phone.
She clicked on it and saw many calls from Sam and Skyler and one other guy.
Sam!.
She clicked on his number and started dialing it.
The phone began to ring.
One ring…. two ring… three ring… four ring…
*Oh, pick the call up.*
Then, the line got connected at the fifth ring.
Thank God!.
“Where have you been!. Seriously?, I thought you’ve dumped your phone somewhere!. The hell is wrong with you!.”Sam yelled.
Annie had to remove the phone from her ear for a little moment because of how loud his voice was.
She placed the phone back on her ear.
“This is Annie!… I don’t….”
“Really?. Is this another prank of your, doctor Larry!.. why is your voice sounding…..”
Pim!.
The line got disconnected.
The hell!.
Annie stared at the screen and quickly dialed the number again.
*Sorry!, your account balance is low.*the service said..
Ughhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
She threw the phone down and ruffled her hair…
Geez, if only that damn guy have listened to her self.
He’s just so impatient.
What to do now, huh?.
She took the phone deciding to borrow credit.
She went to the call log and her eyes scoured around the pins.
The problem now…..
How will she borrow the credit.
She haven’t use any phone before and she doesn’t know most things about it.
The sound of the gate opening sounded and her eyes snapped up.
A man was wheeled out by a lady.
Wait… is he possible he’s Larry’s dad?.
She quickly got out of the car and ran to him.
“Good evening, sir. You’re Larry’s father, right?.”
“Nancy, who is this young fool?.”the man asked the lady behind her.
Oops!.
Larry is a replica of his father!.
Both in looks and words.

After Gracie was done chopping the vegetables, she opened the pot in and poured it in.
She wondered where Annie was.
Stupid her, she didn’t even ask of her name.
She hopes she’s fine.
She doesn’t even know why she’s all caring towards her…
She just likes her.
The landline in the room started ringing and she closed the pot.
She cleaned her hands on the apron she was putting on before moving out of the room.
She walked to the room and to the landline.
She grabbed the receiver and placed it on her phone.
“Hand the girl over.”the voice said and her heart skipped a beat.
“The strange girl, hand her over.”
Annie looked at the man as he stared at her in total disgust.
The lady behind him – Nancy also stared at her.
Annie’s legs wobbled as different judging eyes stared out at her.
“Cat got your tongue?. Why are you this low people always like this!. Ugh!, I feel infected already just looking at you.”he said with repugnant.
“Take me back in.”he said to Nancy.
She nodded and turned him around.
She opened the gate and glanced back at Annie and pressed her lips together then offered the slightest smile she’s ever seen to her.
Nancy pulled Mr Brown in and also entered then locked the gate.
Okay?….
A tear slipped out of her eye.
She sniffed and wiped it off.
Gosh, why is she even getting her self worked up because of a rude, arrogant and grumpy guy?.
Well, probably because she will be stuck here if she didn’t find him soon.
She doesn’t even know the way around quite well.
Then, how the hell will she get back to Russia?.
She turned around and walked away slowly.

The guy moved to Larry with a tray and placed it in front of him.
“Your food.”the guy grumbled.
Larry’s eyes went down to the tray weakly.
Two boiled potatoes and some reminant carrots and….
“You probably don’t mean that.”he muttered.
“Well, this isn’t your mansion, young prick, where you get to eat like a god.”the guy replied and smacked his head.
Larry had no choice, as he was really hungry..
He decided to eat it.
“The spoon?”he asked.
The guy frowned at him.
“Or a fork?.”Larry added.
The guy glared hard at him.
“Okay, what the hell… no fork, no spoon?, then how the hell did you expect me to fucking eat!!!”he shouted.
“You need more beatings?.”the guy scoffed.
“If you can’t eat with your bare hands, then fuck off.”he added brusquely.
Larry sighed.
The guy turned to leave.
“Alright…, fine, I will manage. I will eat with my bare hand so come release my hands.”Larry said.
The guy turned to him and smirked.
“Oops!, rich prick!. Sorry, I’m not allowed to do that but….”he drawled and walked towards him then went on a crouch.
He spat on his face.
“Gosh, I’ve been wanting to do this a long time. Back then, you were all so bossy… you were the boss’s choice, very lucky that you lead all the missions given to us…”
“Now, the great man has been out down now.”
He started to release the chains on his left leg.
“You’re only permitted to eat with your leg.”he cooed and stood up.
Larry’s eyes popped out.
He… he didn’t mean that, right?.
Eat… eat with his legs?….
“But that’s almost impossible!.”he said.
“You have no choice, Garry. Eat with your leg or starve to death.”the guy replied coldly and left the room.
The hell!!!!!…
Larry’s eyes became teary….
He is been treated like a horseshoe crab?… only horseshoe crabs eat with their legs!
He stared at the food and his free leg.
He’s damn so hungry.
Having no choice, he moved his leg slowly to the food and landed his toes on the potato.
He grabbed it with his toes and raised it up and started moving it to his mouth…

Annie collapsed on the doorstep after placing a knock on the door.
It was damn hard locating Grace’s apartment.
The door opened and Grace popped her head out.
She gasped when she Annie on the doorstep.
She left the door and run to her.
“Oh my, child… are you okay?.”she asked.
Annie’s eyes were half closed.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
When she saw the woman, she breathed in relief.
She suddenly felt safe again.
“Look, open your eyes look at me!, you have to run!, far away.. before they come for you…”Grace said.
Annie was slowing going unconscious.
Grace saw this and shook her vigorously.
“You have to run, child. Run!.”she said and dragged her up.
The full light of a car flashed from afar and Grace became scared.
She kept on pulling Annie to run.
Annie’s eyes opened fully..
“Go, run!.”the woman said and with one last push, she left her and ran inside.
Annie stared at her.
What’s wrong?.
Why is she asking her to run?.
She saw a car fast approaching and nobody told her before she took up to her heels and ran to the opposite direction.
She’s feeling so weak….
So weak that she couldn’t run properly…
After running for some minutes, she couldn’t take it anymore and she fell down to the floor.
Her eyes began closing….
She saw a car stopped in front of her and she breathed out.
The end road!.
The door opened and a familiar figure stepped out.
The figure moved closer, more closer to her.
With her eyes half closed, she recognized him.
Her vision was getting blurry but she really do recognized him.
“Skyler.”she muttered weakly.
He sighed and stepped aside.
Two guys appeared behind him.
“Take her to the car.”
