Chapter 4

Kyle was dealing with a large group of teenagers.
"Listen. No money means no drugs, okay? I'll come back tomorrow, but remember what I said." He turned around and started
to walk slowly to his brand new car. He drove directly to Jed, who praised his driving skills.

"I see my lessons have been useful to you."

Kyle nodded. "Yes, I've escaped with it a few times, but she hasn't got a single scratch."

"I suppose you didn't come all this way to tell me that, did you?", Jed frowned, looking at Kyle's face.

"Actually, no. Look, I've got some mayor trouble with a bunch of punks. They want to pay for the drugs later, but I won't permit
it.", Kyle explained carefully.

Jed nodded slowly in agreement. "Alright... but what's the problem?"

"I'm afraid they're gonna blow my head off soon. So... did you meant what you said earlier... about those fighting techniques."

Jed burst out in laughter. "Well, our youngster wants to fight, huh? Sure, I'll teach you. Meet me tomorrow at my place at 7 am.
Don't be late!" He walked towards the stairs. "And one more thing: I suggest you wear solid clothes. It's not gonna be pretty."

Kyle looked a bit surprised at this, but agreed and drove away. "Hey Jed, pick my Sis up from school, will ya? I don't have
time."
Jed sighed and looked for his keys. When he couldn't find them, he walked towards his fancy sports car and noticed he'd left
his keys in the car.


It was 16 pm and Sheila was talking to a friend of hers. "Now Daisy, and that's when I said...", she whispered, but Daisy wasn't
listening. She was just gazing at a red, shiny car, which stopped right before them.

"Hi Sheila! Your bro told me to pick you up.", Jed said as he opened the door for her.

She sighed and glanced down at Jed. "Let me guess. He didn't have time... I get to see you a lot more than my own brother."

"I don't mind.", Jed grinned.

"Oh and why is that?", she asked him, noticing a blush on his cheeks.

Jed began to search for words. "Err... because... err... well, I kinda like you."

"LIKE me? That's all? I feel insulted!", she whispered, while she was getting closer.

Jed stopped the car abruptly and took her in his arms. He kissed her gently and held her tightly. Their kiss became more
passionate and Sheila felt very comfortable.

"You know," Jed said softly, while he touched her face. "I loved you the first moment I saw you. I just knew you were the one
for me."

"How cliché!", she smiled. "At first, I didn't like you at all. But you were the first person besides my family who gave me the
feeling of appreciation. That's when I started to like you, but I knew for certain I loved you, after the dance. However, I couldn't
tell you because I didn't know you felt the same way about me."

Sheila hugged him and gave him the sweetest smile. "Let's go home. My brother is expecting me by now and if I don't show up,
he'll go crazy."

They stopped at a large dream house with a roof of hey, little white stones and pretty windows. The villa was surrounded by a
beautiful garden with a fountain and over a thousand flowers. Sheila kissed Jed and opened the door.

"Do you want to come in and have a drink?" Sheila said while she turned away from him nervously.

"Sure. Why not?" he answered. "You go on ahead. I have to lock the car." He walked towards his car and locked it.

"Kyle, I'm home! Sorry I'm late. I have to tell you something terrific!", she yelled. There was no answer and she entered the
kitchen for a little snack. The backdoor was open and she walked towards it to close it.

Jed suddenly heard a terrible scream. He ran inside towards Sheila, to find her sitting on the floor.

"Oh my god...", she whispered, looking at a body on the floor, which belonged to her brother. He was covered with blood and
his clothes were torn apart. The smell of flesh and blood entered her nose and she choked. "What happened?", she thought.
She started to cry maniacally when Jed took her in his arms to comfort her.
