Chapter 8 Eight

"Alas, young Brian is already dead and there's nothing can be done to reverse that anyway!" Viv pitifully lamented as she sat at a small seat that was beside the bed.

I slowly watched her move her eyes towards me, but she never wanted to contact me, as she shied off and blushed as well.

I felt her pain and deep in me a soft voice erupted as it spoke in a command way. "It seems it's not yet over, Don, you should be careful about her. Look deep into her eyes, and you'll realize that she is not yet over with it all!" I listened to the voice as it spoke so swiftly.

"Viv, what brought you here?" I asked in a low and soft voice as I looked between her folded hands as she played with her key-dolls. "Am sorry for being here when it wasn't time yet!" She replied as she raised her eyes to me. I quickly looked into hers in sorrow and fear as she tried as much as she could to avoid my contact. "Don't shy off, as you've always been courageous all this year's Viv. Just look into my eyes and tell me the truth as you answer my question that I think, it's so simple and straightforward. What brought you here, Viv?" I asked as I repeated my question in a sharp rising voice and tone. She looked at me in fear as tears started to flow from her pale eyes.

"Am here to tell you that maybe, I may look that bad, to an extent of wanting to let you rote in jail but ain't that vengeful to ruin the life of your sister who greatly depends on you, therefore am...am just here to break it to you that, I will pay your bond, and you will be released anytime soon!". She said as she stood so quickly without giving me a chance to ask any other questions anymore. Her face and minds on the door as she stepped out.

She left behind countless questions that ran through my minds to almost blow them, I was so disgusted and exhausted to know that all this time I've never spent a month just relaxed for accusations of murder. And whereas the murderer was just seated in a room enjoying himself and having parties held all over that he'd rather attend and forget about Brian that little boy, who owes him a life.

It wasn't easy as well to believe that anytime soon I will be released from this mystery and hell, that I will be free from jail and go face the tough world that just awaited me immediately I could get out of jail, I knew that maybe I might get released from hospital as I would go straight to my small room that I could guess and sense that it was in a total mess and would really need sometime in order for it to be fixed. For once, I had a second to think that the heartless billionaire lady had been filled with the spirits of sympathy, and she could easily think of releasing me from jail despite the harm I caused in her heart. I knew that possibly she could let go of me from jail but deep down in her heart the pain was still, and that was never a magic at all, it was all reality.

I was scared and so worried about how I could face the world, and how people out there could think of me, perhaps stress and depression alongside guiltiness would never let go of me on the streets. From isolation and loneliness, I thought that possibly I won't survive for long. And I could easily sense that possibly she did it so as she could hunt me and hire mercenaries to come after me, for she had money, and she could do whatsoever she thought of. She controlled the world already.

"What are you thinking, Don? I have been observing you for long, neither did you respond to my waving hand. What's up already, you are a free man now, and you will get out here anytime soon, she already confirmed that!" Alexa said as she looked happily from the pretty, smiling face she wore. I never believed on things that came so easily in such a way and I could sense seriously consequences instead. I was worried and so alarmed.

"I don't think it's over yet, sis!" I said as I looked deep into her ina and alarming face full of wrinkles, that I could easily feel myself as I wiped my face with my weak left hand that had just started gaining a little energy as well from a far.

"You shouldn't think that way! But why do you have to say so? Ain't you thinking that she means whatever she said? Don't you believe in her anymore; Do you?" She said as she nearly shouted at me. I looked at her in surprise, for she barely understood what she talked about. I never meant not to believe Viv, but my poor sister couldn't get it that depression would make me die earlier than just sitting in jail for it looked better of it all. Besides, she guessed that maybe I'll be free or whatsoever, but that was never the case, I was never out of depression, I was never out of the trauma and the horror voices that ran in my head from time to time as I looked into Viv. As I saw her cry in anger, fear, and sorrow.

"Its time boy! You are now free to leave the hospital premises and go home. You are a free man now!" One of the officers at the door came in, said his word and quickly turned his back against us as he was moving out. "Yes! Yes! Let's go party now! It's over for you?" Alexa applauded as she commended the officer's words in joy as she jumped from place to place.

I heard the words of the officer but just from as far as I watched Alexa celebrate the victory of the battle that she never fought. "No sir, ain't ready for that! I needed to go back to jail!..." I said as the officers who was almost at the exit stood in surprise as he turned slowly and looking at me in a Guess. Alexa stood and stopped celebrating and paused as if she wanted to confirm from me what she just heard. "Taking me to my cell sir, ain't ready to get out here...."
