"Why should I believe what you are saying when you haven't told me what he looks like or his name hmm?" Derrick asked. He was cunning in the way he tried to get answers out of the innocent boy.
"What more should I say about him when you have already seen his picture for yourself?" Anthony said with pride. He strolled to the opposite couch where Derrick sat.
"Did you just say I have seen his picture ?" Derrick asked, confusion written all over his face.
"Why are you pretending when his picture and that of my sister are hanging over there?" Anthony said as he pointed at Joanna and Kayden's picture frame hanging on the wall.
Derrick turned and glanced at the picture frame hanging on his right-hand side.
"So that is your brother Kay?" Derrick asked.
"Brother Kay treats my sister the best and that is why I like him a whole lot. I can't wait for my sister to get married to him so she can leave home where she is not treated well," Anthony said grinning.
Sitting there Anthony began recalling the amazing moments he spent with Kayden.
Just like he was in deep thought, so was Derrick. Derrick diverted his gaze to Anthony's direction when he was done sorting his thoughts.
"So what is his full name, Tony?" Derrick asked, his gaze not shifting away from Anthony's face for a second.
"His name is…," He jumped up to his feet suddenly. He rushed to the door without satisfying Derrick's curiosity.
"What's up with him?" Derrick muttered as he stared at where Anthony ran off to.
Anthony ran to the entrance. The moment he stepped outside he met a tall guy standing in the middle of the corridor.
"Why do you have Brother Kay's scent…," Amos bent and covered the little boy's mouth, not letting him say out his thoughts.
"Why are you…," Anthony struggled to free himself but Amos was just too strong for him to handle.
"I have something to show you but I can only do that if you promise to keep quiet. Will you promise me that?" Amos asked while looking at Anthony's face.
Getting the smart boy to agree to what he wanted wasn't easy but he was still able to do it.
After he finally managed to calm Anthony down Amos released his mouth. He took out his cell phone from his trouser's pockets and started punching words into the bright screen.
Anthony stared at his face with a puzzled look. Amos was too concerned about what he was typing to care about Anthony's intent stares.
He stopped typing two minutes later and turned the phone around so that the screen was facing Anthony.
"Read what's on it ok," Amos tapped on the screen and said.
Anthony did as he was asked to.
"I will answer all your questions later but can you not say anything about what you noticed today to anyone hmm?" Anthony chuckled at the end of his reading.
"Let it be our little secret ok," Amos said. He raised his hand and ruffled Anthony's hair slightly.
"Hmm… I will think about it," Anthony said beaming.
He turned to open the door but someone inside beat him to open the door.
"Who are you and what are you doing together with him?" Derrick questioned sternly.
A frown plastered on Amos' face the instant he set eyes on the guy standing at the door.
He stood up to have a proper look at the intruder's face.
"Shouldn't I be the one to ask you that question?" Amos retorted, his fierce glares fixated on Derrick's face.
"Did you…,"
"What the hell are you doing in my house and who on Earth are you?" Amos asked angrily.
"Your house?" Derrick asked. He was violently pushed aside before his brain could assimilate what was happening.
Entering the sitting room Amos met Joanna applying ointment on Raymond's injury.
"Ouch, that hurts," Raymond cried out in pain causing Joanna to momentarily stop what she was doing.
Seeing Joanna touch another guy's bare body made Amos clench his fists.
"Sorry, I will be more gentle," She said. Joanna was about to continue treating his wound when she sensed the presence of someone.
She tilted her head to where she felt the piercing glares. Joanna's mouth dropped open and her eyes widened the moment she set eyes on Amos' fuming face.
"You are back!" Joanna exclaimed, jumping to her feet.
For some reason, her entire body began to tremble. Was this because of his clenched fists or his murderous glares which were focused on Raymond's back?
"K-Kay, I-I brought h-him…," Joanna felt like slapping herself in the face for stammering at such an important moment.
"I thought I made it clear to you that I don't want to see you anywhere close to my home so what the hell are you doing here?" Amos ignored Joanna and walked to stand in front of Raymond.
"And I also recall saying that wasn't left for you to decide…," Amos held Raymond's hand and jerked him to his feet.
"Leave now before I lose the little bit of conscience left in me…,"
"Does it look like I am scared of you?" Raymond quizzed while looking Amos in the eye.
Seeing that a physical fight might break out anytime soon, Joanna left where she stood and went to stand in their midst.
"Kay, I was the one who brought him…,"
"Isn't his name Amos?" Derrick, who was quietly watching the fight, questioned.
"Will you keep quiet?" Joanna snapped. "This is not the time to be inquisitive".
Joanna brought back her attention to Amos' face after she had taken care of Derrick.
"He got injured because of me. You didn't expect me to abandon him after he got attacked for my sake…,"
"Even though you brought him home. Did you have to personally treat his wounds and get close to him…,"
"You are talking as if you are her husband," Derrick muttered but loud enough for everyone in the sitting room to hear.
"If you don't keep quiet, I swear I will rip off your mouth before I handle your friend…,"
"He didn't say anything wrong so why are you trying to shut him up?" Raymond asked, standing up from where he sat.
"You are not her husband or even her boyfriend so what gives you the right to tell us what to do?" Raymond argued, his gaze did not move away from Amos' eyeballs.
