It was already 12:00 pm when I reached Merrylia's mansion. Her face was grim as I she stood infront of her two gigantic doors, promising wrath as I walked up to her.
"Who were they?" She spoke. Her eyes were drilling holes into me, daring me to lie.
"Who Ma'am?" My jaws clenched after the words left my mouth, knowing that it was useless to feign innocence.
"The men on motorbikes who chased you. They were not Wilfred's men. They're all couped up in his main building and remains hidden. So tell me, and don't even dare to lie, who were they?"
Instead of cowering, I looked straight into her eye, forcing the lodge in my throat down. "I don't know Ma'am. I didn't recognize their faces. They may be sent by the mysterious man Mr. Wilfred was taking orders from."
