FIVE

I chased after Chienembe as he commanded the guards to protect him.

Some of the guards ran at me and I slid below their legs then did a windmill to kick their legs off balance.

I got up and looked at him as he ran away and I chased him.

Ruby and Rose fought side by side for the first time in their lives and were unstoppable.

Mack was like a one man army, while he dodged their bullets and beat them up, two by two.

A guard ran towards Mark and Ms Lucy and tried to hit them with his club but Mark dodged and Ms Lucy kicked him in the back and Mark gave him a close line and he fell flat.

Four more guards were sprinting towards them and they looked at each other then Mark said,"May I?"

"Of course."Ms Lucy said.

He held her hands and threw her over his head in a cartwheel like manner and she next threw him and doing that, they dodged the snipers' shots.

Then they both front flipped and did synchronized movements to both dodge the bullets and beat up the four guards.

They then held their hands and came close to each other, almost kissing. Ms Lucy came closer, so as Mark, then they kicked the guards right behind each other.

Mark looked at Ms Lucy as the snipers' reloaded and sked,"Can we?"

"Of course."Ms Lucy said.

She did a horizontal wall run and jumped off then landed with a handstand on Mark's hands then he threw her using the momentum and she landed near the snipers and attacked them.

Mark looked at her then turned to the seven guards who were looking at him. He cracked his knuckles then smirked...

I chased Chienembe to the helicopter pad and the helicopter started ascending. I wasn't letting him escape, not this time.

The helicopter was two meters in the air and I jumped and held its stand and climbed aboard but Chienembe pushed me.

I almost fell off but held the hand rest. Then he put his foot on my chin and pushed but I turned and he kicked the air, then I bent down and punched his knee joint.

He yelped in pain and fell down.

I immediately ducked and bullets broke through the glass wall between the cockpit and the passenger seats.

I then held Chienembe and jumped off the chopper onto a roof not far below then pinned him down upside down, pulling his left arm.

I said,"You're not escaping this time."

Mark and Ms Lucy had reunited and the guards were getting up again. Ms Lucy waited for Mark and he spoke,"Will you marry me?"

"Of cour..."

She looked at him and saw him kneeling down and bringing out a diamond ring.

It was made of gold with seven silver filigree rose flowers. Each with a diamond in its centre proportional to its size, with the largest flower in the middle, having small diamonds on the petals and a large one in its centre. It must have costed a fortune.

Mack, Ruby and Rose were looking with anticipation.

Ms Lucy gasped then elbowed the guard who had snuck up behind her and threw him over her shoulder then said,"Nice try dude...but I like the ring."

Then she sashayed away.

Mark said,"Aww come on."

Ms Lucy said,"Keep trying, maybe I'll say yes one day."

Mark was determined and smirked.

I accept your challenge.

I pushed Chienembe on the floor in front of the others with tied up hands.

We had the cops arrest all of them and Chienembe was given juvenile detention and Mark disowned him. I was so glad when that happened, I had never liked him.

Shortly after that event, Ms Lucy left for Hollywood to star in an upcoming cartoon and of course the great Lucy Stone had other events begging her to come, so the cartoon paid her the most.

Lucille on the other hand just arrived from a concert she had had in Seoul and Rose had left for a photoshoot in Seychelles.

As everyone around me was getting a job, I decided to get one too, even Ruby was now working for N.A.S.A. from a laptop.

So I asked Mark one day when he returned from work,"Mark, do you think I could get an after school job?"

"Why? Am I not giving you enough allowance? Fine, I'll get you double..."

I waved my hands in front of me and said,"No, no, no, that's not why, it's just everyone is getting a job, so I wanted to show I'm responsible."

"I already know you're responsible, that's why you're the sole heir to Aqua bolt."

I widened my eyes...

I did not know that.

He tilted his head and asked,"I thought it was obvious, unless I get any kids which I don't think I can, you're the heir."

"Wait, you can't get kids?"

"No, it was confirmed a year ago. But you and Lucille are all I need anyway."

I felt really sorry for him, how devastating was it to be told you can't have kids, you can't continue your family.

I just hugged him and said,"I'm sorry."

"It's okay Tommy, I've gotten over it, besides that, I think I know somewhere you can get a job close to your heart..."
