Rhythm (Part 3)

I joined Lolandra and started packing. Since we were both freelancers there was no need to inform anyone we worked with. I tried to squeeze in a few more stuff into one of my bags but Lolandra was getting impatient, we need to hurry up before they get here. They? I asked. I will explain everything but we don't have time right now, we must leave, She said.

Do "they" know where you stay? I asked, they have eyes everywhere, she replied.

There was no need to inform Bill that we were leaving so we don't get him into this mess.

Bill came out anyway when he heard us dragging the suitcases, where are you travelling to with all these big suitcases? he asked. I tried to distract him by asking him to bring the story he was talking about. Bill never gets angry, he is like that neighbour that always likes to be in your company even when you don't want it. He rushed into his apartment and handed me a USB stick. You would love it he said smiling. How much do you want for it? I asked. Go through it first, he said, I will send you my bill later, he chuckled. As usual, Bill always tries to make money off us. Bill forgot his previous question and only said, have a nice trip.

We would lodge in a hotel in another city tonight, Lola said. We set out with Lolandra's car since she just serviced it last week. We stopped over at the gas station to fill up the fuel tank. As Lolandra tried to reach for her wallet, I noticed a black Mercedes Benz behind us as a man in dark suit stepped out and walked towards Lolandra. Biggy has sent for you, he said, showing us the gun in his jacket. He gentle opened Lolandra's door and asked her to walk to his black Mercedes Benz. Everything happened fast, before I could think of what to do, they zoomed off with Lolandra in their car.

There I was sitting and watching a stranger drive away with my friend. I felt very bad. I could have atleast called for help, but what if he shot at me? There was not so much to do at the spot since he had a gun.

I moved to the driver's seat and drove as far as the fuel could take me until I found a hotel. I was too afraid to go back to our apartment since "they" had eyes everywhere. I was in shock.

I needed to think through this and know the best way to handle the situation so I do not get Lolandra killed. I need some information about who that man at Zack's place was? Was he and Zack involved in this? Who is Biggy?

I call this painting "Rhythm"
