บท 8: Playing a Dangerous game 2
"Everyone in the neighbourhood seems to know the situation. Some people with bad intentions would take advantage of your situation, like what happened yesterday. Nobody in the area would be willing to get involved. I am afraid that before the devil makes a move... " Natalie did not dare say any unlucky words.
The power of life and death was said to be in the tongue, so even if she knew that what she was about to say was reasonable, some words were better left unsaid.
Whitney sighed, she also knew this, but she did not have money to move houses. After listening to what Gracey said this morning, she knew that the devil had not made a move yet.
Her father would have definitely angered some people with his arrogant behaviour. Now that the first man dared to touch her sister on the street, more problems would be coming since nothing happened to the man.
As Natalie said, they might be done for before the devil made his move. Thinking in this direction, Whitney suddenly had a big idea.
Her eyes lit up, "I need your help," She turned to her friend. When Natalie saw the glims in her eyes, she knew her friend wanted to play a dangerous game.
"As long as you are not going to kill someone, I will accompany you," Natalie said. Whitney smiled. She knew her friend always helped her out.
"What if I kill someone? Would you abandon me then?" she questioned, pretending to be annoyed. "Yet you call me your ride and die, *hemp I am so unlucky," Whitney sighed. She frowned like someone who had been betrayed
"Did I say I was going to abandon you? Don't worry. I will keep a lookout. That way, I will signal you, but If I accompany you, who will keep a lookout," Natalie said. She knew Whitney was joking, the girl always worried about others. How can someone like her think of killing a person? So she said whatever came to her mouth.
"What is the difference? Don't you choose to keep an eye out so you can easily escape? I am not fooled one bit," Whitney said. As they joked around, Kelly finally came out of his room.
He did not sleep well because he kept hearing Gracey cry from the next room. He did not go over to take a look because he did not want to embarrass his sister.
" Sister Natalie, " He called out and went over to her. He is also close to Natalie because she is his sister's friend. Natalie would help Whitney out sometimes to take care of him.
"My baby," Natalie hugged him. She was also fond of the little guy as she found him less annoying compared to her(Natalie) big brother.
"I am fine," Kelly acted very obediently. He liked Natalie as she treated him like a baby brother. Moreover, whenever she returned from the northern province, she always got him gifts. Sometimes it was a toy car or snacks. These things did not cost much, but he liked them very much.
Kelly was just a young child who did not understand the concept of money anyway. To him, the toys were fun to play with, and the snacks were delicious. " Here," Natalie took out a pack of chocolate and handed it over to him. "Remember, it's not good to eat before brushing your teeth," She warmed.
"I know, it's still early. I will save it for later. Thank you for the chocolate. You are the best," saying this, Kelly kissed Natalie on the chick. Whitney, who was watching the scene, rolled her eyes. She felt that her brother had too sweet a tongue.
Natalie smiled, she was delighted, she pinched his little face."I will go and wash up," Kelly said and freed himself from her hug. Only now did he remember that he had not greeted Whitney.
"Big sister, you look pretty this morning," Kelly said. He knew that if he said something nice, she might not remember that he ignored her when he walked in.
"Oh, now you see me? I thought Natalie was now your big sister?" Whitney said. She refuses to fall for his little tricks. Moreover, it was fun to tease her brother a little. Things had been tense since their father died, and given the scene yesterday, she was scared that he might have been scared silly.
Kelly looked helpless after all his tricks had been exposed. He puffed his cheeks and smiled." How can that be? You and sister Natalie are my big sisters," He defended himself.
Whitney looked at him as though she did not believe what he said. No matter how brilliant Kelly is, he is only a child, so he does not realise that his sister only teased him.
"It's true, how can I dare to forget you... Sister..." he did not know what to say after all, he was scared that he might offend Natalie with his explanation, and he was unwilling to lose any of the two. Who did not want two big sisters that would pamper him?
Seeing how helpless he was, Whitney fought the urge to laugh after all, she did not want to embarrass him. "Say something," she challenged with her brows up.
"you are my big sister, sister Natalie is also my big sister. Having two big sisters is good," Kelly nodded his head as though by nodding his head, his point would be proven.
Whitney smiled, she could not bear to continue teasing him, as the boy might cry out of frustration.
" so if you only have two big sisters, where does that leave me?" Gracey joined them...She had just come out to hear Kelly saying he had two big sisters. She knew Whitney was teasing their brother, so she joined the fun.
After Whitney left the room earlier, she could no longer sleep, so she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and watch her face. After crying for so long, her eyes were quite swallowed.
When Kelly turned and saw Gracey's eyes, he felt sorry for her. That bad uncle was really evil. "I don't want a crybaby for a big sister," even if he felt sorry for his sister, he did not like the fact that she cried so much. When their Dad had not gone to join their mummy, she would always cry.
She was not like Whitney, who would be bold and comfort him. Everyone wanted a strong big sister. Gracey had not expected Kelly to give such an answer, so she was speechless.
"You..." she pointed at Kelly. Whitney and Natalie could not help but laugh when they saw how Kelly bent his head when he saw that Grace was angry.
"You are so bold just now calling me a crybaby. Why are you acting scared?" Gracey asked. She did not expect the little brat to be so bold. His words made her feel very embarrassed. She did not mean to cry in his presence the previous day, but she was just too sad and missed her father.
"I only told the truth," Kelly said and immediately hid behind Natalie. He was scared that his sister would lose her temper and slap him.
When they saw him hiding, the three ladies could not help but laugh. Gracey's mood became lighter after the exchange. "come, I will help you prepare your bath," Gracey said. She felt that Whitney and Natalie would have some catching up to do.
"You are not trying to lure me away in other to teach me a lesson, right?" Kelly asked. It was clear that he was unwilling to move over.
"Now you know to be scared," Gracey mocked. She looked at the boy's innocent look and felt relieved. She was scared that the incident the previous day would hurt him.
"I am just hugging sister Natalie," Kelly did not accept that he was scared. The three ladies laughed again. They chatted for a while before Gracey left with Kelly to help brush his teeth and take his bath.
"What do you want to do?" Natalie asked as soon as the two were out of sight. She knew her friend would not want to get her siblings involved in whatever the plan was. Whitney moved closer and whispered her plans into her ears.
It's not that she was avoiding her siblings, but the soundproofing of the house was not very good, and the person in the next apartment might hear her. If her plan was known beforehand, it might not give the desired effect.
"Your plan is good, but are you not scared that the devil will chop you in pieces for lying with his name?" Natalie asked.
"If I don't lie with his name, my siblings and I would chop into pieces. Moreover, there is so much gossip about him every day. He would not care about something so small," Whitney said. She was already at a dead end, so there was no reason to hold back. After all, by doing so, she would only fall into endless trouble.
