Chapter 20 Not capable

After the second gate they saw a man waiting by a car to take them to their destination. They entered the car without speaking to the man, he only open the car door for them to go inside.

 Alex and Clara sat comfortably at the back of the car not speaking to each other.

 “Ok what’s going on?” Alex whispers to Clara.

“I told you to keep quiet, here you don’t talk too much” she whispered back to Alex and the driver just look at them from his front mirror and they kept quiet.

Alex's phone keeps ringing because Sandra has been calling him ever since but Clara only look at him signaling for him to put his phone off.

“But why?” he asks again.

“Don’t give them the wrong impression Alex” Clara only said. Alex looked at the driver who is looking at them from the mirror and switch his phone off.

Within few minutes they stop in front of a huge building and Clara lead the way with Alex following. He look left and right every other person was very serious none was smiling. Everyone was moving as if something bad happened.

“Are we going to a funeral? Alex ask Clara but she only look at him with this look that said “I’m going to kill you here if you don’t keep quiet” They walk into this large hall and they took your seat without speaking to anyone but surprisingly Alex saw his parents sitting at the high table with other high-profile men and women.

After some time a man hits the table “Order, everyone please take your sit” the man said and there was no more movement. The place became do quiet as graveyard.

He was so surprised to see his parents, he open his mouth wide but no sound came out. The man beside him just turned to look at him and then look away again.

 He now realise that this is not a place to make noise so he closed his mouth.

The first man stood up to speak, thanking everyone for been here. he didn't speak much and then he sat down again.

 The second man stood up from the high table and start talking about the history of how the organisation was found and other things but Alex don’t even know what they where talking about.

“What are they saying?” he ask Clara.

She turned to him “Alex I told you to keep quiet and listen” she said.

They sat there for hours talking without Alex understanding a single thing they were saying. The only thing that got his attention is when he heard his name being mentioned

“What! why are they calling my name?” Alex whispered to Clara and she said “shut up and listen”

“Yes, my son Alex is capable of running the organisation after me” he heard his father said.

“What!.. What organisation is he talking about?” he ask himself.

“No, your son is still a boy, he’s not capable of handling the organisation.” Another man stood up and said from the far end of the table.

“With all due respect Mr. Lincoln,  my son is no longer a child. He is capable of running the organisation after me” his father said again hitting the table in anger.
