6 A VISIT TO THE HOSPITAL, A BIRTH OF NEW LOVE.

Jeff went to visit his brother who surprisingly had improved remarkably.

Their lives were still in danger .Whoever had ordered the killers was still at large and unknown to them.He was even scared of that little girl who had become his part time care taker.He was loving her company but scared to relax or even show it, he did not know when she would show her true colors killing them both then claim her reward from God knows who.

In Jeff 's perspective everyone was a suspect, talk to Jeff and you are a suspect, offer him peace, morning or just normal greetings and you become suspect number one , afraid of all ' suspects ' around him he chose to be careful while walking from one place to another,for his sake and that of his brother he had to be vigilant. Today he thought he was careful that no one could follow him to the hospital.

He had taken two different taxis to get here no one could muster all his movements.

Melody had followed him and before he could disembark and pay for the taxi she had moved past the taxi entered into the hospital then matched out pretending to have come from visitation in the hospital, she was dressed in a very screaming attire to attract the attention of anyone who saw her,this way, she knew Jeff would be forced to be polite in order not to attract more attention to himself

"Jeff, what are you doing here ? "pretending to surprised "... don't tell me that your brother is also here, is that why there are so many black suit dressed all around? I could go with you to see him if you don't mind"

"I do mind as a matter of fact I really do , and little girl if anything happens to my brother I will hunt you down and do worse than just kill you, stay away from my brother" he said it in a low tone that only the two of them could hear

'Oh Jeff , if only you knew what you mean to me, that my mother practically ordered me to find you and be with you, that I have been looking for you ever since I was just fourteen ' this was running in her head but Jeff saw the affectionate gaze she gave him and for some reason he felt like he knew her, he lifted his head then lead her to see his brother, looking at her he had to wonder why she affected him so.

Bodyguards were way too many each wanting to outmatch the others, the family had lost more than three third of its population which only meant retrenchment, it was hard to get a bodyguard job since it required trust and faith in the ability of the person, not to mention the tragedy that had happened on their watch.

According to Jeff , the night of the attack the party was properly coordinated, it felt like everyone had their hands in that attack, why would they lay down their guards and have them thugs get such an easy job at killing his family,his heart was in pain, he felt it hurt so bad and at the same time a big potatoe blocked his trachea, he swallowed hard but whatever he was swallowing did not pass through his mouth yet it wanted to get out through his eyes so he had to swallow hard in an effort to control this weird feeling, he was a man after all and men don't cry in public.

she was starring at him with her big torch like eyes,her lips slightly ajar ,she looked quite harmless and adorable at the same time, annoyed at himself for harboring such feelings he coughed then furrowed his eyebrows ,the squeeze in his eyebrows tempered with his eye and the tear he had suppressed With all his mighty efforts just streamed down his cheeks.Without warning Melody threw herself at him embracing him tightly in an effort to console this big cry baby, also taking advantage of the situation to get close to her dream guy.

This was the second time Jeff cried in her presence the first time she scolded him harshly because she was annoyed to see this reaction from a man , her man .The man she was planning to spend the rest of her life with , but today- this time was different , it was like she could feel his pain, she wanted to take the pain away. After a very long while she propped her head up and kept a steady glance, they both looked at each other, each in their own thoughts until Melody broke the silence.

"What are you afraid of, your brother, he...he must be okay, Jeff I promise you, if he is dead or had died ...dont you think that your bodyguards would have informed you? keep calm and let's go pay him a visit, maybe he is worried about your safety, he too need to know that you are okey"

Someone was indeed worried, so worried that he made remarkable improvement daily just so he can be with his young brother who had send him to the hospital and disappeared, he felt like he was dumped in the hospital and wanted to be released. Not knowing what was happening around him was more than he could take and he wanted out.

He worried everyday, he had refused to die because his baby brother was alone in the world and he couldn't last on his own, Jeff was a book warm when they were children ,and when he grew up he became a workaholic,had to be reminded to eat, take a rest let's go out and have fun, had to be told and directed all his life.Jackson was his keeper from time immemorial and he was worried that Jeff might have let go of himself , if he was not already dead.

Little did he know that a goddess was send to protect and provide for his needs he was looking at her hugging his younger brother who was now crying big drops and shaking hard he was too much, one would have mistook the scene as one of bad news of a sick relative dying, he walked and stood a Metre away from them then asked in a loud voice

" Who died ?! "

Jackson did not wish to separate the two but he wanted to hug his brother so badly that he took the two into his embrace and the three had a group hug. Jeff had missed him too so he pushed Melody away roughly,she almost fell but restored her balance and stood there dazed, the two brothers looked slightly identical, they had the strong body of a footballer, formed and we'll balanced, Jeff though was the youngest he was taller, darker and looked older with his facial features more formed compared to his brother, he never laughed or smiled at all, when something amusing occurs he'd frown or make a grimace indescribable and that was it.

"I'm going to make this Jefferson man mine, he can stay with the necklace for now this will give me a good reason to get to see him whenever I want.
