Chapter 8: A Made Up Mind (running away)
"Miss"
"Miss"
"Miss", the cashier continuously called out to bring the lady's attention away from her lost state.
"Ahh, sorry I was just lost in thought" the lady replied,
"It's no problem so can I start scanning what you want to pay for".
Raising her basket to the cashier, she glances at the products inside and could not help but remember what she had overheard her friend speaking this morning.
~~~~~~~~~ six hours ago, flash back ~~~~~~~~
Almost an hour after their heated argument Nadia decided to once again ask Emily If she was going to eat assuming that her anger would have already been calmed.
As Nadia walked towards Emily's room and was about to open the door she heard some shushed voice speaking inside the room and decided to listen but only Emily's voice was audible enough to her hearing but still not discouraged and not convinced that Emily isn't hiding any secrets she leans against the door to listen more to what she was saying,
"I have done all I could Madame but Nadia isn't taking it seriously, she is still determined to go I have done all in my power to stop by telling her all of his deeds but she still does not listen dismissing it as a rumor". she pauses as the person on the other side of the line gives her instructions. With a smile blooming on her face, she acknowledges performing well.
"I will do all according to Madam's orders and make sure to execute it immediately. I thank her Graciousness for her advice and wisdom".
Seemingly the call ends and Nadia hears some shuffling inside her room seeing it as her cue to leave. She leaves with hurriedly quiet footsteps and rushes down the hallway to the dining to sit on the chairs. There all emotions come rushing up to her 'who is madam, her Graciousness, what was she planning and why aren't I allowed to work in the Armando mansion? why is Emily doing all this?
Concluding that Emily was in on it since she decided not to say a word about her involvement with the unknown people and had already made a plan to make her not go to work at the Armando mansion.
Nadia decided to make plans and leave their shared home with a determination to work at the Armando mansion to get clues as to why she is connected to all this.
As she abruptly gets up from her seat and turns around to find Emily behind her holding a knife.
"Em
Em
Emily Steve Hinkson!!! what the fuck do you think you are doing" Nadia furiously shouted while shakingly pointing at the knife while Emily stared at her like a grim reaper that emerge from the depths of hell.
"Nadia I thought I warned you but it's already too late, you will definitely appreciate me when you know that it was all for your good". Emily's voice out dangerously close to Nadia her voice sending chills down her back and her bloodshot eyes boring holes into body, she takes a step forward and Nadia tries to escape but discovered her feet are rooted to the ground unable to move.
Paranoid with cold sweat running down her forehead she shouts at Emily,
"What kind of voodoo magic is this Emily!!!, stop this nonsense. I don't like this kind of prank Emily!",
"It's not a prank Nadia, everything is real," Emily spoke smiling at her and before Nadia could scream once more she plunged the knife deep into Nadia's chest.
Nadia falls to the ground as she opens her eyes to stare at Emily dumbfounded at her actions. She felt life being sucked away from her body making her weaker and weaker until she breathes her last and her eyes closes.
"Ahhh!!" Nadia screamed out as she woke up from her nightmare she touches her chest once more confirming that she was still alive.
"Oh, God...Oh God" she trembled violently as she tried to calm herself down. Drenched in sweat she checks the time to see that it was five o clock. She Gets up from the chair and rushes to her room and Emily's to discover that she wasn't around.
"Oh God what was I thinking, maybe she went to work. Why am I being so paranoid, is it a sign?". She spoke whilst rubbing her neck and staring through her room window. Seeing the sun setting and with a new thought in mind, she decided to leave the apartment before Emily returns.
"Is it a sign, God please help me give me a sign to show that Emily is planning something, I don't want to leave for nothing". As she prayed a message notification entered her phone.
Ding!
It was a message from Emily
Emi: Hey babe I will be bringing some friends over hope you don't mind
p.s (I am bringing pizza and some coke so no need to cook).
Nad: It's, not a problem, when are you coming back.
Emi: In about an hour.
With her last message she completely goes offline that further confirming her doubt that Emily was planning something that would prevent her from going to the Armando mansion and missing the interview, and with only an hour left to leave before Emily comes back from work, Nadia decides to leave-taking the message as a sign from the heavens with quick steps she rushes to her room to pack her necessary belongings into her luggage.
After packing some of her necessary belongings she hides her luggage before ordering a cab and rushes to the nearby mini-mart by their house to buy some essentials not knowing how long she will be away. As she walked down the road she remembered a crime documentary that both she and Emily watched together about how a girl escape away from her obsessed friend who was a mentally deranged serial killer who put up people around where the girl stays to watch and monitor her movement and how Emily confirmed she would do the same if she was the killer.
Assuming that Emily has done the same she began to walk calmly and quietly until she reached the mini Mart a few minutes away from her residence.
As she entered the mini-mart she gets a notification from her phone confirming that the car will be arriving at her residence in fifteen minutes with only nothing less than seven minutes to shop around she races around the counter to get everything she needed before making her way to the cashier to pay and check out everything she bought.
~~~~~~~ end of flash back~~~~~
"Miss the total is two hundred and fifty dollars" the cashier spoke before Nadia handed her ATM card to him for the payment.
with a relaxed expression on her face, she exits the Mini Mart. As she leaves the supposed cashier's face lit up as he makes his only sentence being,
"the target is on the move".
