Chapter 3 Forgotten Who She Is

"Do you think she's fine?" It was the fifth time Smith was asking Theo.

He had driven back home immediately he got Tequila's text. How at home he couldn't help scolding himself for leaving.

Theo who sat close to him sighed and said: "Remember when we told her Sir Lucas was gone, what did she do?"

Smith thought for a while and answered: "She made a trip to Scar face and burned him to death"

"Exactly, did she go with any guards?"

"No"

"Did Scar face have people around him?"

Smith Nodded as the picture of the ruthless girl back then floated back to his head.

Although, Sir Lucas was only kidnapped, Tequila made a trip to his foe's house, took down all his guards and set him in fire while eating dried meat.

Scar face was a notorious Drug Lord back then, so he had good and strong people who protected him.

It was a shock to other drug lords when they heard of it and most of them hurriedly placed their allegiance to her.

While in thought, Tequila drove in. Staring at her face from inside the car, Smith tried to see if she was still Jovial, and confirming she was still in the mood he walked to her.

When in a happy mood, Tequila could act like a kid with no sense, although it might sound harsh, Smith couldn't help wishing she could be like a senseless kid.

"Tequila, I was so worried when I got your text. What the hell happened?" He asked but Tequila said nothing as she still remained in the car, he rolled his eyes and she chuckled.

She opened the car door and stepped down so did the guards with her.

"I'm fine and thanks for asking'' she began with an eye roll as they made their way to the house, "But I'm so tired and I can't possibly go out again for any shoot. You've got to tell them I'm sick or just think of anything you can think of" she continued and pulled open the door, through the knob.

"Huh? But Tequila..." He started but was cut shut by Tequila.

"Just do it, I need to rest, I'm too young to die"

"Okay" he nodded lowly and Tequila who was heading to her room already figured out he left after she heard the door open and close.

'Finally peace of mind' she breathed.

She got to her room, opened the door and got in. She flung her heels away, mumbling: ' I feel like it's adding to my tiredness'

She was about to climb into her King-sized bed when her eyes met with another pair of eyes.

"I'm so so...rry sorry ma, I overslept and forgot to clean your room on time" the person who happened bro be a girl apologized.. Tequila stared at her and identified her to be one of the maids,' I told Mr Smith I didn't want any, now look she's preventing me from lying on my bed'

"Just leave" Tequila said and she scampered out, 'I'll deal with her tomorrow' she muttered as she fell flat on her bed not bothering to have a night bath.

'But come to think of it, why I'm I so tired' she mumbled.

****

In an old decapitated upstairs is a mother and son, Mrs Holman and Alexander Holman.

Lying in the bed weakly is Mrs Holman, she is a sufferer of Leukemia.

"You've got to pay the house rent Alex, cos we're gonna be thrown out of the house" Mrs Holman said weakling.

Tears slid down the young man's cheeks as he stared down at his mother.

"Don't cry Ben, all will be okay" she said consolingly as she placed his head gently on her stomach, running her hands into his hair.

"Mom" he choked "no one will employ a high schooler" he said and wiped the tears that kept trickling down his cheeks.

"Everything will be fine" was all he heard as he slept of.

# Three weeks later #

Alexander Holman could be seen walking around with a drenched white shirt under the hot sun.

Looking for a shade from the sun, he walks into a garage. On entering he sights a Lamborghini and a Bugatti Veyron!

Alex is those males that's obsessed with cars so seeing the two cars at the same time is like winning a lottery.

"Wow" he muttered as he ran his hands around the Bugatti Veyron.

'this feels too good to be real, Me, staring at a car worth millions and I'm even touching it' he admired it for what seemed like eternity.

In his world of admiration, he looses focus of the world he is in. Two men were walking towards the car, because the Garage was dimly lit, their faces were blur. Seeing the guy on the car, the men panicked as they rushed towards him. Getting to him, one of them grabbed him and slammed him to another car nearby, only then did Alex come back to earth.

He was trying to process what was happening when he felt like his jaw was on the verge of breaking. The man had punched him!

"Ouch" he groaned painfully as the person pushed him down. It was then he turned around and saw the men.

"What the hell were you doing kid? Didn't you see it was a customized car?" one of them yelled, Alex turned and stared at the supposed plate number, gasping immediately.

"Tequila" he muttered.

The sound of heel was soon heard, while the men had their eyes facing the floor in fright, Alex eyes followed the shadow and It turned out to be a lady, a lady in black.

"Get up" The one who hasn't said a word thundered. Alex hastily got up, he grabbed hold of his hand... painfully. Alex groaned as he was led to the lady.

When he got to the lady, Alex strained his eyes a little cos of the poor lightning around and froze..Tequila.

"Who the heck are you? And who the hell sent you?" She asked grabbing him by his ollar as she pulled him up..leaving his feet dangling in the air.

Alex had heard of rumors where Tequila could be termed dangerous but he never believed it. Now seeing the Tequila now, he believed!

He shivered out of fear as he ran out of words.

"I w..as pas..sing by and d..decided to have a little rest" he replied stuttering a lot.

She pushed him down.

"Let him go" she said after staring at him for some minutes and walked towards the lamborghini. The guards glared hard at him and left entering the second car. Alex stood there and watched as they drove off.

Alex felt hot liquids on his legs when he tried to walk , he gently took his hands down to his trouser and touched it and it turned out to be urine. Can today get any worse.

# Later that evening#

Alex was woken with the sound of two voices , one high pitched and the other apparently begging.

He listened to it and ran out of bed figuring out it was the voice of his landlord and Mom's voice. He ran into the living room and to see his Mom sprawled on the floor begging holding onto his leg, while he tried kicking her hands off.

"We will pay soon sir, Just a little more time" Alex said as he pulled Mom off the floor.

"A little more time? I've been giving you a little more time for months now... But know this If you do not pay back before I'm back in a month time, you will meet your belongings outside"he yelled and stomped out, but not without giving out a long glare at him.

Alex held his Mom close as she whimpered, rubbing her back soothingly.

"It will be over soon, mom, soon" he consoled and kissed her hair as he led her into her room.

"Should I mix your bath?" Alex asked after he helped her lay down.

Alex finished moments later and left her room for his. Opening the door, he got in and closed it leaning on it, he let all the tears he had been holding on to pour down his cheeks.
