Chapter twenty-four; M.K Morgan
Sup guys! My updates might be a little slower, but I will update nonetheless!
Abe sighed heavily, a smile tugging at his lips as a familiar noise revved in front of the shops window. He looked up to see a familiar Porsche 911 parked in front of the antique shop, and a familiar young woman who was taking of her sunglasses as she swung out of the driver's side. Her short curled brown hair enhanced her features, making her hazelnut eyes stand out even more. She was in a black leather jacket along with knee high leather boots and a pair of jeans. Her hair had a green highlight in that enhanced the color of her hair even more. Around her neck was a military dog tag. The bell rang as she entered the store. She smiled a gorgeous smile as she noticed the older man.
"Hello, Abraham. Lovely morning isn't it?" The young woman asked in a British as she pulled up a chair and sat at the counter in front of him. Abe smirked at her actions. She had been coming around every day for the past two weeks ever since they met and he loved her company.
"Indeed it is. Are you up for a butt whooping in chess again, M.K?" Abraham asked cheerfully. M.K slipped her iPhone out of her pocket and checked the time. Four 'o'clock on the dot. She still had an hour before she needed to be somewhere.
"Wasn't it I who whooped you're butt yesterday?" The young woman asked raising her eyebrow at the older man.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Abe lied smoothly.
"Alright, alright, but only if you make the coffee? I'm parched from work." M.K confessed truthfully.
"I still don't get how you're a CEO of like a dozen successful companies, a soldier in the army and your only twenty-six years old." Abe stated as he stood up and made his way to the door. He flipped the 'Open' sign to 'Closed' and locked the door.
"Well a girl's gotta make a living, Abraham. So when is Henry coming back again?" She asked rather nervously.
"It would've been today, but the planes got delayed due to a lightning storm." Abe shrugged as he made his way up stairs.
About Forty-five minutes later biscuit crumbs laid scattered across the floor while Abe had a serious expression on his face as he stared at the chess game before him. M.K stared amusedly at the older man as she sat back in a relaxed position. Abe's lips curled up deviously as he moved a chess piece to his chosen destination, eating M.K's queen. Now it was M.K's turn to smile. She snatched up her chosen piece and knocked Abe's king over.
"Check mate." She stated as she smiled broadly. Abe scowled at his young opponent.
"I was going easy on ya kid." Abe stated as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Of course, Abraham." M.K smiled as she took a glance at the watch on her phone. "Well I have to be on my way."
"So soon? Come on don't you want to watch a Twilight marathon with me? I've never seen it, but people say it's good." Abe offered with a smile. M.K chuckled as she stared at the older man's big brown eyes.
"No, I have a date with my son, but I'd recommend that you don't watch that marathon. The books were bad enough." M.K stated with a shudder.
"You have a son? Why didn't you tell me? I could've gotten the lad a new toy car. Kid's these days still play with toys other than cell phones right?" Abe asked as he raised his eyebrow.
"Yes, Abraham." M.K stated with a giggle. "But it's not necessary. He's more into planes."
"And who's the father?" Abe asked with a worried expression. M.K's smile faded at the question. She smiled sadly as she stared at the older man.
"I don't know." She stated with a firm tone, hiding her true emotion. "I'll swing by tomorrow. I want to talk with, Henry anyways." M.K as she put on her pair of sunglasses. Abe smiled sadly at her, but nodded his head nonetheless.
"You never really told me how you know, Henry? My roommate is a pretty private person." Abe stated as he thought of his father and his ridiculous antics. "He barely trusts me." Abe chuckled.
"I'm a past acquaintance in a way." M.K smiled before she unlocked the shop door and walked towards her car. She pulled out her phone and dialled caller named Samuel. The person picked up after the second ring.
"Hello Samuel. I'll be there in ten minutes." M.K smiled as she swung into her car.
"I'd make that five if I were you." At the sound of the familiar voice M.K choked on her own spit. "Samuel won't make it ten minutes."
"Markus you're a sick son of a bitch! If you touch my son I will do much worse than make you pop up in the East river." M.K stated trying her best to stay calm.
"Five minutes just became four." With that Markus ended the call with a hysterical laugh.
Four minutes later the Porsche pulled up in front of a large apartment complex. M.K swung herself out of the car and raced into the building.
"Afternoon Miss Morgan…" The doorman quieted himself as he noticed that she was in no mood to talk. The young woman rushed up the stairs as quickly as she could and ran down the hallway as she reached the top. She ran past a few doors before she stopped in front of a white door with the number 39 on it. With one swift kick she broke down the door. The young woman looked around frantically in search of her son and the menace who had called her, but as she turned to face the kitchen a chill ran down her spine. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she saw the horrifying sight.
"Samuel…" She managed to croak out as she stepped closer to a man around her age dangling from the ceiling by his neck. Anger and rage filled her as she pulled out a pocket knife and cut him down. She gently placed him on the floor and before she could scream at the culprit she felt her throat being slit.
M.K surfaced completely naked in the East river after a few minutes. The air was completely freezing and so was the water. She quickly swam to shore and made her way to a duffel bag that was hidden in the bushes a few feet away. When she was finally dressed in the sweatshirt and sweatpants she dialled a number on the phone that was also in the bag.
"Samantha, come and pick me up please." She waited for a response and when it came she swallowed hard.
"Samuel can't. I'll explain as soon as you get here."
And that's a rap! Next chapter Henry and Jo is back! Let me know what you think?
