The Rejected Orphan

Mrs Quinn paced forth and back in the room not able to sleep. " who the hell is she " asked Mrs Quinn furiously, she didn't know what was wrong with her son, may be he was either stupid or possessed. " I can't believe this" she didn't know what to think any more, " and you..." she turned to face her husband, " why are you protecting her? don't tell me you are possessed". Mr Quinn knew how crazy this wife of his can be but not as crazy as his son. When he married her Ryan was six, and Arya was ten, Ryan never approved of the marriage but he didn't have a choice, though he was calm, collected, brilliant, intelligent, and observant, he still welcomed her as his father's wife and nothing more. This has always been a headache to him, he just didn't know the solution to it. " now I get it, you don't wanna explain 'cause he's your son, you don't love me Richard, you don't" she wailed dropping to the floor, " it's not what you think hon" Richard walked to her and sat on his heels, " so, what is it" she asked bringing her head up to look at him, " he made me promise him" he paused and continued, " please stop crying, okay" and she nodded feeling light headed and sleepy.

"There is danger lurking around, and I wouldn't want what happened to my mother to repeat itself"

She stared at him giving him a confused look, "Can you elaborate?"

"I don't think you are safe here"

"Is someone planning my death?" she asked not knowing what else to say or ask to understand.

"Yes" he breathed the answer not bothering to sugar-coat it. 'that was mean' she thought to herself. 'such a man of few words, wait....'

"Is someone caring about me now?" she teased him.

"Yes". 'that's too serious' she thought, that wasn't expected, at least he should have said no.

"Why?" she couldn't keep in her curiosity anymore, it seem there is more to what it seem.

"Cause we are related, and I don't want you dying." Looking at the clumsy cousin of his who was finding it difficult to understand, he sighed and told her, "Don't stress your brain. I will tell you once everything is over." he promised. He doesn't promise,and if he do he always fulfill.

"Are you sure"

"mm"

She couldn't believe that someone is actually after her life, 'wait... don't tell it is Mrs Quinn, ah!.. no it's not her' she looked up to meet his gaze, his face looked familiar but she can't recall where she first saw this face, 'Idiot, he gave you a roof over your head, definitely he should be familiar.'

"I will need you and Aunt Mary to leave this country to country A. It's no longer safe here."

"Is that all I need to be safe?"

"Yes, Aunt Mary has been told what to do and what not to do." he said and slipped his hands into his trouser pocket.

"Okay. So?... what time are we leaving?" Eli asked, she felt as though spending one more week here will cause her death.

"Tomorrow morning. You need to leave discreetly."

"Okay" she nodded assuring the ever cold man in front of her and saw him leave. She exhaled loudly and went in search of Mary. 'how long has she known?' she wondered to herself.

"Thank God you are here" Mary said and pulled her to sit.

"Is there a problem?"

"sit" Eli sat down facing her to hear Mary say, "We need to leave. I know Ryan told you about it." and Eli nodded

"You already know danger lurks around us, but you don't know the reason and I wouldn't want to endanger you more by telling it to you now that everything isn't settled.

All I want from me is for you to trust me. I know you have fears and doubts, you can take your revenge on me if I ever lie to you or you report me to the police, okay?"

"Okay"

"what is going on" Mr Quinn asked as he rushed in, he has been busy in his study room and was suddenly disturbed.

"hon, this people are accusing me" Mrs Quinn quickly hide at his back and said pitifully. She just couldn't let them bring her down like this she hadn't finish with them neither had she contacted her lackey.

Mr Quinn turned to the police men and asked, "tell me what my wife did" he couldn't accept this, they wanted to arrest his wife without his consent, though he knew his wife was a demoness in character.

"She committed murder"

Wait! what? mu murder? no that can't be.

"She killed my mother to shut her up" Ryan walked in with Ray following from behind.

"Your mother died in an accident." Mr Quinn defended.

'what a clumsy work, you think you can put the blame on me without evidence? dream on'

"If you don't believe me, then you should take a look at this" Ryan handed him a file. He opened it and felt his head spin, he raised his head and looked at his wife with a complicated feeling.

'dont tell me they were able to get it, no no! this can't be happening'
