THE HEIST SCENE 9 : THE DOMINEERING BROTHER

      Samantha jogged her self back to the present, she was taking too much time getting ready for work, she felt like not going but had used up all her possible excuses, she was out of the shower in seconds, the warm water had renewed her vigour for the day, she strolled to wardrobe opened it and was trying to pick out an out fit, her mind began to run away again, that strange call, at that odd time from an unknown number, how unusual it was. She wondered if the call was from Dennis or maybe her brother, she picked up her phone and dialed Dennis mobile number, it was switched off that was strange she frowned  his mobile phone was always reachable she wondered where he could be that his phone was out of reach. 

She thought about calling her brother, just as she scrolled to his name she decided against it, her brother would blow it out of proportion,  he would trace the phone call, harass the network get the location,just to get who made the call,  he was that imposing,  that's what you get when you have a paranoid cop brother..he always went too far
. She remembered last year,  when a guy had ask her out for a date he had ran a back ground check on the guy to see if he had a criminal  record, or even if any of his family had criminal records, he called on a favour from the Interpol to run his name their records, he questioned his high school class mates,  junior schoolmates his previous neighbours and his land lord, he investigated the guys dad checked if he was paying taxes, he even did a sweep of the venue of the date which was a fast food, he went over board ,some would think he had lost it, the guy was so scared shit he called off the date,other guys started getting cold feet when it came to her , and soon they stopped coming altogether.
  Calling Dan her brother would be a big mistake, she would handle it her way,  that was why she hadn't told  Dan about Dennis,  he would have done the same thing,  he would done a back ground check, and it could have come up with one thing or the other and he would have will forbade her to see him again, she had fallen for Dennis and didn't care what he could have done in the  past,  she wasn't getting any younger,  she wouldn't tell Dan until she was sure Dennis was the one and they had fixed a date,  she wouldn't let him ruin her relationship,  he had done it far to many times,  she  would not let him do it again.

  She put finishing touches to her make up, picked up her bag and left the room.she had walked a few blocks to where Mr bedford usually picked her, he lived 2 blocks from her and gave her a ride every now and then but he wasn't there ,she glanced at her watch it was 5.45am ,he usually got there firsts  , he was a stickler for time, this was unusual, she decided to call him, she dialed his number, it rang but no one picked, she decided to go check his home it was just around the corner,  maybe he was running late.

  As she approached Mr Bedford home, she saw his car in the drive way, good she thought to herself, she got to the front porch and was about to ring the bell but the door just slide open, that's strange she thought,  Mr Bedford she called out its me Samantha , we are running late, no response at  all, he stepped into the house and immediately saw scattered

furniture as though there had been a fight,  now she knew something was wrong, she rushed up the stairs to find Mrs Clara bedford and Jane her daughter gagged, tied up and unconscious.

  She immediately dialed 911, hello there is an emergency at 4th and 5th noryhyirk drive,  please hurry with an ambulance .she guessed it must be a break in, so she checked the other rooms for Mr bedford but he was no where to be found, she was emotionally shaken and had to sit down as her legs were shaking, who could have done this, this was a relatively peaceful neighbourhood,  the ambulance they promised would be there in 5 minutes. She prayed mother and daughter would be ok, and she was worried for Mr Bed ford,

she tried his line again and she heard it ring, she traced it , and found it amongst the scattered furniture's, he must have struggled with his captors, it was no longer looking like a break in. It looked like a more sinister motive was at play.
