Red Flags - Episode 35 & 36

(Badasses•Bad•Jerks)

By; Naomi Cindy B.


★★★★★★★★★


"I'm coming for you too, Banks... I'll kill you!" He said, laughing sickly.


The laughter was continuous for minutes, and when he took another look at the grave, he stopped, remembering what he found out earlier.


He recognized the tattoo on the arms of the hitmen during the beating he received, so he searched for their location and went in search of them after leaving the stadium earlier.


Luckily for him, he found them, and after offering them millions on their table, they easily told him the name of the one who sent them.


Immediately he heard North's name, he went crazier, and he was literally hyperventilating with fury as he drove home, only for her to provoke him again.


Well she's finally gone, and she deserves everything.


He spat on the grave before jumping in his car, driving out of the forest.


Minutes after he left, the trenchcoat and vans figure appeared from behind a tree.


He stopped when he got to the grave, then he squatted there like he's thinking of what to do.


*


AN HOSPITAL*


Omar's car halted softly in front of the building, and he came out of the car, looking responsible in his new clothes.


He actually went back home to change and cleanup the blood before coming here.


He faked a tensed look as he walked into the hospital, stopping by the reception.


"Mr. Diaz, is he any better?" He asked.


"Oh...are you Omar? His son?" A nurse replied.


"Yeah, why?" He asked, hoping the next news would be his father's death, but he was disappointed.


"He's recovering fast... I'll take you to the ward" the nurse offered.


"Thanks" he smiled gratefully, but the smile disappeared immediately they began walking to the ward.


"Bullshit" he muttered.


"Are you talking to me?" The nurse asked.


"No" he replied simply, entering the ward alone.


Mr. Diaz is in bed, receiving blood from a blood bag hung on the drip stand, and his monitor is beeping soundly.


His head is bandaged, and he looks weak in bed. The maid is sitting beside him, but she spranged up when Omar came in.


"What did you tell the doctors?" Omar questioned with a glare.


"I told them... he's... He fell in the bathroom" she replied skittishly, and Omar smiled immediately, touching her face.


She quickly shifted back.


"Aren't you such an obedient maid?" He chuckled, and the maid swallowed.


"What about... Miss North?" She asked.


The smile cleared from Omar's face.


"She's on a trip to Singapore, to see our grandparents" he replied, focusing on Mr. Diaz.


"Huh?" The maid looked up unbelievably.


"Enough questions...now go out, I need to talk to papa" he said, and she stepped back before finally leaving the ward.


Omar moved closer to the bed and tapped Mr. Diaz on the arm.


His eyes opened, and he tried to grab Omar by the arm immediately, but Omar caught his hand strongly.


"I regret not aborting you in your mother's womb back then...I should have gotten rid of you long ago ... you're... useless" he said with heavy painful breaths.


"Really? Too bad cos the only child you consider useful is dead. Her screams were delicious to my ears as I stabbed her repeatedly for....was it nine or ten times?" Omar smiled dementedly.


Mr. Diaz couldn't believe his ears as he tried to stand, but Omar pushed him back, and he broke down in tears.


"What did you do to North! What did you do satan!!"


"I sent her to our mother up there, aren't I such a good son?" He replied, grinning slowly.


Mr. Diaz opened his mouth to talk again, but Omar dropped a pill inside, and the man gagged so much, drool escaping his mouth for seconds before he finally went unconscious again.


"You don't deserve to die fast, be in pains till I click the button" Omar smiled, and the monitor began beeping fast.


Omar left the bedside, and doctors rushed in .


"Help! I think I'm losing him! Do something!" Omar cried.


The doctors got to work, trying to make him stable again.


Omar wiped his tears as he walked out of the ward, meeting the maid by the door.


"Stay with him, he'll be here for a looong time" he touched her face again before walking out of the hospital.


He was humming happily as he drove out of the hospital, feeling on top of the globe.


*


NEXT MORNING, GRAND CASINO~OFFICE*


Master X stood slanted in front of his desk, staring at the picture frame on the wall again.


His gaze is hard.


At every passing minute, he holds his walking cane tighter, and his eyes turned sadder.


The woman in the picture is his wife, and the children on her laps are their children.


Levi and his sister... Silver.


His wife died after giving birth to Levi, so Levi didn't even see her at all, and the mother didn't see him too.


The picture was originally snapped with only Silver on her laps, but Master X had to go for Photoshop just to put little Levi in his mother's arms.


If she didn't carry her for real, she'd at least do it in the picture.


He could still remember that day...


FLASHBACK, YEARS AGO*


"Hazzan!" He called out.


He's sitting in the office, holding the picture on top of his desk and staring at it with so much melancholy in his expression.


Hazzan rushed in.


"Yes boss!" He bowed.


"Any good Photoshop place around?" Master X asked.


"Sure, there's one across the street and he's really good" Hazzan replied.


"Here" Master X gave him the picture his wife carrying Silver, then he brought out another picture from the drawer.


It's a personal picture of Levi.


"Have it photoshopped with the first picture. Make him sit on my wife's second lap" Master X ordered.


"Yes boss!" Hazzan took the two and rushed out of the office.


Almost immediately, Uncle Reginald came in, holding five years old Levi who's looking so innocent.


He's wearing black again cos according to him, he's gonna mourn his sister and mother for life___he's gonna wear black for life.


Also, Levi has been staying with uncle Reginald since the accident... Master X hates seeing him.


"Why are you here, Reginald?" Master X hardened his jaws, not looking at Levi at all.


"Are you really gonna hate your son forever?" Not like he killed your wife with a gun, she died after his birth! He didn't kill his sister too it was an accident! He didn't break your leg, the accident did!" Uncle Reginald spat.


"Crap" Master X replied harshly.


"What!" Uncle Reginald replied, his hold on Levi tightening.


"His birth started everything! The moment he was born, my life turned around Reginald! I can't even bring myself to look at him! He shouldn't have been born. You shouldn't have been born, Levi" Master X slammed, and tears came out of Levi's eyes.


"Stop saying this repeatedly, Xavier! You won't even see him or look at him since the accident! He's human too!" Uncle Reginald shouted.


"Didn't you hear the part where I said I can't bring myself to look at him? And did you just say he's human? He's a devil! Why didn't he die when my wife died? During the accident, we lost Silver and I lost my left leg, but he didn't get a scratch, he's a devil!" Master X shouted back.


"Xavier...


"Leave! Leave this place Reginald, and take him with you. I don't ever want to see him for the rest of my life. I don't have a son" Master X interrupted harshly, turning his back.


Levi's tears cascaded down his cheeks hotly as uncle Reginald carried him and left the office.


BACK TO THE PRESENT*


Master X heaved out, turning away from the frame before taking his seat.


His phone buzzed with an email, it's from Levi.


He checked and saw the new update about Emory.


Carbon Copy: Peaceful day, she's asleep. No f+cks.


He sighed, dropping the phone before resting back on the chair.


*


TITANS MANSION*


Chadwick felt his limbs moving when he woke up, and he immediately smiled slightly, feeling better in his system.


The detox took longer than he expected, so he was tired throughout yesterday, unable to move a limb.


His eyes flew open when he felt a presence beside himself, and he sat up in bed to see Omar sitting with him, smiling.


"Bloody f+ck! Why are you in my room bastard!" Chadwick got down from the bed, throwing on blue pants.


"Look who's back" Omar laughed, and Chadwick looked back sharply.


"You sound different, are you really Omar?" He said, and Omar laughed.


"North is out of the country, maybe that took a toll" he said.


"North? To where?" Chadwick replied with a pull of his bushy brows.


"Singapore. Papa wanted her there for a while, school can wait... she'd meet up before exams" Omar replied.


"Your dad is weird" Chadwick shook his head, getting a big bag.


He started packing his things.


"Are you leaving the country too?" Omar stood.


"Nope, I'm leaving this mansion" Chadwick replied.


"What! If the leader leaves, then how is the frat gonna survive?" Omar's eyes blinked.


"I'm leaving my throne, and I'm leaving the club" Chadwick replied.


"What!" Omar gasped.


"The hell??" Romeo said, coming in with Juliet.


"You're leaving the club? Titans will fall without you!" Romeo said.


"I don't care dude! I was swimming in poison for three damn days and I almost lost my damn life. I'll be damned if I stay" Chadwick replied, throwing the last shoe into the bag with him before zipping.


"Are you doing this because of Banks? C'mon you're more than this!" Omar said.


"Are you insane? More than what? Look, my name is Chadwick Hazzan, I am Hazzan's son and my father has been working for Banks dad even before I was born. All the money I've been spending all my life comes from Master X, so henceforth, I won't be doing anything to implicate my father. Make anyone you want the new leader, peace out!" Chadwick replied, dragging the bag out 


"Chad!" Romeo and Juliet ran after him immediately.


Omar on the other hand bursted into an hysterical laughter, walking out of the room with his two hands in pockets.


He went downstairs where more than thirty Titans are.


They take in new members everyday, so the ones that died in Forte got replaced already.


"Say cheers to your new leader!" His voice came loudly, and everyone of them stood in apprehension.


"Omar?" A girl scoffed, dropping her smoke.


Romeo and Juliet came back, and they scoffed in unison.


"Omar?" 


"Your new leader" Omar scoffed back, getting a gun from his back pocket__North's gun.


He raised it up and shot it in the air thrice.


"Argue, or die" he grinned.


Silence fell in the circle.


*


TERRAVERDE PALACE*


Rebekah woke up late.


The first class today is by 12, so she still has the time.


She was sweeping up her hair in a pony as she descended the stairs, but a maid rushed up to her, getting behind her quickly.


"I'll do it, your highness" she took the hair to roll gently, and Rebekah just had to calm down so she won't combust.


She dislikes this much attention.


The maid finished up, and she went downstairs.


• Good morning, princess.


• Good morning, your highness.


The greetings from the numerous maids made her cringe as she made her way to the dinning.


She stopped by the door when she saw Elsa is in with the king already, and she's currently serving him by herself, acting like the best wife-to-be in the world.


Rebekah rolled her eyeballs, folding her palms into fists as she imagined her late mother in that position.


Tears were already stinging her eyes when a head was placed on her shoulder from behind.


"This is only the beginning. Trust me it'll get worse when they get married in one month, are you up for it, princess?" Conrad's voice asked.


She shook him off, and he chuckled as she left for the kitchen.


She was about to get herself some bread from the freezer when a maid came in to serve her that too.


"I don't need you, leave!!" She yelled.


The maid rushed out with a flinch, and Conrad came in.


"Harsh" he crossed his legs at the ankle, leaning on the doorframe.


"None of your business" she muttered, opening the freezer to finally get her bread.


Her phone fell, and she picked it with a scowl, but then her eyes caught the news preview on screen.


She stood straight before reading.


• The King of Terraverde announces his second wedding to a lady of high esteem and...


She turned off the phone quickly, sighing out before biting her tongue, then she walked fast to Conrad.


Conrad remained in his position, but his eyes couldn't help but notice her chest...


She's not wearing a br@ yet, so the br+asts are a little bit transparent in the pyjamas material.


Rebekah stretched her hand forward, and he looked at it.


"I'm in, let's stop the wedding" she said.


A tricky smile crept to his lips as he took the hand.


"Now you're talking"


Rebekah smirked as their hands embraced.


*


CARSON'S MANSON*


Emory just knew it when she woke up.


What happened last night wasn't a dream, Levi came into her bedroom to pull her out of her nightmare again just like he did at Forte.


And the fact that her room smells like him is another evidence.


He even cleaned up the mess of half-eaten apples she left on the ground and shutdown her laptop for her...he must have stayed for long.


How is he even able to hack into her house when the door is always securely locked?


If only her parents knew, that their door has been reduced to fake by a particular devil.


She couldn't help the smile that leapt to her lips as she dragged her phone out of the duvet to text him.


Emory: You came again last night... Criminal.


Levi is always active, he's always with his phone so she expected him to reply immediately, but he didn't.


"Strange" she muttered, watching it for three more minutes before deciding to delete the text.


Her eyes went to the bottle of tequila and box of red apples beside her shoe rack.


She bought the two like Rebekah said, but she hasn't been chanced to give them to him.


Should she go to the Loft?


She was thinking about it as she left the room, going downstairs.


"Em you're awake!" Tate came out of the kitchen in her apron and the usual french twist on her hair.


She's holding a small spoon containing the soup she's cooking.


Emory opened up, and she fed her the soup.


"Mmm... Tasty. You still cook the best soup, Ma"


"I know, right? How was your night, baby?" Tate kissed her scattered hair fondly.


"Lovely" Emory kissed her back on the cheek.


"You look happy this morning, what's the secret?" Tate winked.


"Nothing" Emory grinned.


"What are you girls chatting about?" Mr. Carson came downstairs.


"Morning dad!" Emory smiled.


"Today is a good one, did you just greet me?" The man smiled, and Tate stroked Emory's hair.


"Our baby is in a good mood. Doesn't this call for a shopping spree? You can go with Sybil when she arrives later today" she said.


"Sybil is coming back today?" Emory's eyes lightened up.


"Wait for it" Tate replied.


"I can't f+çking wait" Emory hugged the woman.


The ringing of the doorbell made them disengage.


Emory rushed to open the door, and she was surprised to see Rain.


"Rain?" She blinked.


"Hey" Rain came in with a large smile.


"The girl from before? How're you doing?" Tate asked kindly.


"I'm good, no class till 12 so I decided to spend time with Emz, then we can go to campus together" Rain replied.


"Welcome" Tate smiled, returning to the kitchen.


Mr. Carson said nothing as he entered the living room.


"I don't think that'd be possible, I'm actually going somewhere" Emory said.


"Where?" Rain asked.


"Actually...


"Banks?" Rain asked suspiciously.


Emory released a soft exhale, feeling so uncomfortable.


"Then I can tag along! C'mon, harmlessly" Rain added.


Emory sighed again.


"C'mon... didn't you guys accept me into the friendship already? I...


"Fineeee" Emory said through her teeth.


"That's it!" Rain held her arm, and they went upstairs together.


They came back after thirty long minutes, and Emory is already dressed up in a black armless gown and a jean jacket to cover up.


"You girls won't have breakfast? It's almost done" Tate said from the kitchen door.


"We'll come back for it" Emory replied, leaving the house with Rain.


Rain decided to drive with her in her car, and she won't stop smiling, as if they're going to see the president.


"Are you taking these red apples and tequila to him? Does he like them?" Rain asked as Emory drove out.


"Maybe" Emory replied uninterested.


Rain smiled again.


*


LOFT, 9AM*


Hyce spent the night here together with Levi.


Levi is still upstairs, maybe sleeping, but Hyce is downstairs at the center, purple bonnet on.


He's sitting with a bowl of pork rinds which he's munching as he scrolled through Isaac's IG account.


He's like addicted to it, and a glint is in his eyes as he stared.


"Cute" he scrunched his nose as he reacted love on another picture.


Red beeped on the wall, indicating a visitor.


He stood and went to open the door, but a frown etched on his face.


"Chadwick? Tell me this is your damn ghost cos what the hell are you doing here after Banks took pity on you? You want another shot of the poison?" He said.


"I'm here to say thank you to Banks, easy" Chadwick said gently.


"Not needed, adios" Hyce scoffed and made to shut the door, but then Emory's car pulled up.


She came out with Rain, and Chadwick had to step aside as they both came in.


Emory gave him a shitty glare.


"For the second time, adios" Hyce rolled eyes, shutting the door at Chadwick's face.


"Oy girls! Didn't know Rain is now partof clique" he said, joining them in the center.


"This is the first time I came here and met the lights on" Emory replied, and Hyce grinned.


"I know, right? Banks effects"


"Where's he?" Emory asked.


"Upstairs, still asleep" Hyce replied.


"By this time?" Emory frowned, going upstairs immediately.


Rain settled beside Hyce, taking his bowl of pork rinds.


"That's mine, Rainstorm" he took it from her.


"Are you coming to the rave party tonight?" Rain asked suddenly.


"You know about the party? That should make a headline for the love of d+ck" Hyce replied, and Rain laughed.


"I'm starting to learn how to socialize"


"Good for you, and yes, I'm coming to the party. Everybody is coming, and there's no party without Hyce, the end" Hyce squared his shoulders, throwing a rind into his mouth.


Rain nodded, taking a peek at his phone only to see Isaac on screen.


"You're stalking Isaac's page?" She said, and Hyce immediately gave her all his bowl of rind.


"You can have it all. You're Isaac's friend, right? Hook us the f+ck up" he said.


"Isaac likes you" Rain immediately replied.


"Jokes?" Hyce frowned.


"I'm serious, he always talks about you, but he's shy to admit he has some gay genes. I'll talk to him" Rain replied.


"And it's done! It's f+çking done! Tell me what you wanna have for breakfast? Oh I dunno how to cook but I can actually make you delicious coffee... coming!" Hyce stood, disappearing into the kitchen.


Rain's smile disappeared, and she stood, going upstairs.


*


UPSTAIRS*


Levi's room is empty when Emory arrived, but his phone is on the bedstand.


She took it and saw the preview of last night's notifications on his lock screen.


Meaning he hasn't touched his phone this morning.


Isn't he supposed to be in bed according to Hyce?


Where's he? Is he actually ok?


She dropped the phone and saw the second door which leads to the bathroom.


She opened it, and she was surprised to see Levi inside the big king-sized tub.


His black slacks is still on, but he's shirtless, and his lips are pale like he's sick.


Despite the fact that it's morning, He's sweating on the chest. His eyes are closed.


"Levi?" Emory went in fast, kneeling beside the tub.


"Levi, are you ok? Levi" she called worriedly, holding his arm to shake him with.


No movement.


"Levi? Lev...


His eyes flicked open this time, and the bloodshot state threw her off guard.


Her eyes widened beyond limits, but she didn't get to comprehend before he grabbed her by the arm, pulling her down.


She landed with him inside the tub with a rough turbulence, and the water poured all around them.


She was panting as he wrapped his right hand firmly on her neck, pulling her closer with that.


One minute, she gasped, and in the next one, he was already kissing her.


Emory struggled hard, pinching him on the neck and every other open part to stop him since it seems he's not in his right senses, but it was like pouring water into a seive.


It's not working... He looks so mad, he's too much.


He bit down on her lip, and the taste of copper boomed as her blood filled the kiss.


He didn't stop, and when it became useless to struggle, she stood still, their breaths mixing as he kissed her deeper...


Rougher.


She closed her eyes as her breaths became hot and fast, but then Rain came in.


Her heart sank into a pit immediately she saw the scene...she couldn't contain it.


She turned back to leave, but the water on the ground made her slip.


She fell on the hard, hurting her forehead, and at the same time, the lights went off.


She scrambled back to her feet but couldn't find her way out, so she traced the wall and found the switch.


Immediately she touched it, the lights came on, but it went off when she left it.


She touched the switch again, and the lights came back on again, then she looked back to the tub.


Levi broke the kiss, his dark houndy eyes covered with his wet hair landed on her, making her freeze.


She felt a sting in her heart... She should be the one in that tub with him.


Emory is still recovering from aftershocks, and her eyes are still so wide on mad Levi.


Rain made to let go of the switch...


"Hold it, keep the lights on" Levi's breathy voice came, and she gulped.


"Huh?"


"If you let go of the switch, I'll f+çking kill you" he muttered in finality, then his eyes went back to Emory.


He recaptured her lips, harder than the first.


He resumed kissing her obsessively, and Rain's hand started shaking on the switch, not daring to let it go as she watched with a bleeding heart.


TBC.
