SILENCE

Chapter 6: Saving those in trouble

Previously:
In the process, Sam was preparing noodles for dinner. He covered the bowl with a National Geographic magazine and noticed a sheet of paper sticking out. He pulled it out and saw a phone number in it. It said, Derek Venturi 561-5446. Isn't this the phone number of that boy from the hospital? Sam thought.

Flashback

Little Derek hurriedly wrote down his number on a sheet of paper and shoved it to Casey. He hobbled toward the exit "Remember to call me." He said over his shoulder.

Casey running after his car. She fell on the ground crying. Sam ran around the corner and saw her laying on the ground.

Casey sat with the note in her hands by the phone. Casey picked up the phone and dialed the number. Sam was peeking behind the door. "Hello? Hello?" came a voice from the other line. Casey struggled trying to make some sort of noise. But she hurriedly hung up. She sat very still then left with the paper still by the phone. Sam came and dialed the number. "Hello?" came the voice on the other line again. "I'm Derek Venturi. Plastered leg. I am Derek Venturi." Sam quietly hung up and looked at the paper. "Derek Venturi." He quickly put the paper into his pocket when he heard footsteps.

End of Flashback

At the time I remember I saw Casey run after that car. She was so sad and unwilling to part with him. Even thought She could not talk, she still mustered up the courage and called him. He was that important to Casey. I couldn't let Casey feel anymore pain. Sam put the paper in his pocket. "So alright, come and eat noodles." He said carrying the plates to the dining table. "Come here, stop annoying her ok?" He said to his father." She's hungry. Ignore him. Come." He pushed her in a seat. He squatted beside her as she ate. "Yummy!" Casey said. "Eat." He got up and looked at his father who was smiling and nodding. Sam squatted down again. He stares at her. She shoved a mouthful of noodles into his mouth laughing.

"Thank you Mama Venturi, it was delicious." Kendra said walking with Abby toward Derek. He was sitting at a computer working. "Kendra, you're really not going to stay here for the night?" Abby asked. "I want to, but I have to go back and draft pieces." "You're working so hard." They turned to Derek. "Derek." Abby called. "Kendra is leaving." Derek instantly got up. "I'll take you." "No need. You should get some rest. Just call a taxi for me." She said smiling. Derek reached into his pocket for the phone. "The suit George was wearing was really nice." Kendra told Abby casually. Derek dialed the number. "I want to call a taxi….0935615446…5615446 at London. "I really don't understand Derek. His cell phone number is so hard to remember. Why doesn't he change it?" Kendra asked Abby after hearing Derek say it to the phone. Abby smiled and looked toward him. "That number is our old house's number. After our home number changed he chose that number especially because of an old friend." She turned back to Kendra. They were silent for a minute. "He never told me." Kendra said. They both looked over at Derek. "Ok" he said and hung up. Kendra, Derek, and Abby walked to the door. "If you have time, come over." Abby said. "Derek, make sure you see Kendra get on the taxi. Make sure she gets on safely. Kendra call us after you get home." "Ok no problem." "Take care. Bye bye." Derek and Kendra walked to the street as Abby stood at the door and watched. "Kendra is really getting prettier" she said quietly to herself. "Derek should marry her soon. One more person at home will make it livelier."

In Toronto at the company, Derek sat dazed. "Mr. CEO, the president just called." His secretary said over the intercom. "He wants you to go to his office." Derek got up and left. Outside, Casey peeked from the corner of the building toward the entrance where the security stood. She stood thinking for a second then decided to go in. She lowered her head and put her hands by her face covering it. The security guard looked at her with one eyebrow raised. She went inside and bumped into another security guard. She lifted her head and smiled widely. "My cell." She gestured. "He shook his head. She pulled out a paper pad and wrote down a message giving it to him. "I only wanted to get my cell phone back." "You should give up miss." He told her. "For our meal, I can't let you in. Please." He gestured to the door. Casey's smile vanished. She stepped back outside. She walked slowly thinking. Medium class managers. You fired 17 of them. Casey stomped her foot and started walking.

Derek sat lazily on the couch of the presidents office. "It doesn't matter if you are showing off your power. As long as you take responsibility for your actions." Said the president. (aka George Derek's dad.) "I won't care. "But how can you fire your Uncle David?" He looked toward Derek. Derek got up and walked over to his dad. "If Mr. President, you are talking about Financial Manager David Davis, the one whose account is unclear, the one who steals the company's money." George turned to him abruptly glaring.

Flashback

David slammed his folder on the CEO's desk and stormed out. John stood up from his place. "Mr. Davis." David turned toward the CEO and muttered. "What a creep."

End of Flashback

"I think I fired him" Derek continued. "not because of pride." He shook his head. "It's the CEO's responsibility." Derek put his hands in his pocket. George stepped closer to Derek with a disbelieving expression. "David Davis stole money? You better have evidence. Don't make me lose face at the President's meeting." Derek smirked. "Mr. President. You can place your trust in the CEO you personally trained." George smirked. "Derek. I hope that pride isn't the only thing you inherited from me." He turned around. "Sunshine's shops are under construction but there are still some problems. You should go and take a look in the next few days." "Yes" Derek answered him blankly. "The construction plan should be in the possession of the construction executive." George continued. "Yes."

Casey walked slowly by the company's garage security and stopped. She looked over and noticed that the security guard was preoccupied with the newspaper so she stuck into the garage. Derek walked through the company as the workers stood and greeted him. "Hello Mr. President." "Is the executive around?" Derek asked one of the workers. He looked over as on short looking man ran up to him.
"Yes Mr. CEO."
"Is the Construction plan for Sunshine ready?"
"It has just been finished." The man ran to his desk and got it. Across from him was a desk with a clocking in machine. Derek remembered the conversation with Uncle John.

Flashback

"Mr. Weyman, how far is your desk from the clocking machine? 10 minutes?
"Mr. CEO, I.."
"It's the same for in the morning then. You clock in at 8 and then walk to your desk. That also takes 10 minutes. So everyday you've wasted 20 minutes of the company's time."

End of Flashback

Derek stared at the desk grinding his teeth. Inside the garage, Casey was looking in the back windows of every black Cadillac searching for her phone. She then found it and smiled happily. She tried the door, but someone grabbed her arm. "Thief, what are you doing?" Casey looked frantic. She pointed toward the phone. "She keeps denying it, but it's against the law." The man said on his phone. "I sent her to the police station immediately." The secretary on the other line nodded as if he could see. "Ok. After you've finished. Return to the company."

Derek walked out of his office buttoning his suit jacket. The secretary came up to him.
"Mr. CEO."
"Is the car ready?"
"I'm sorry, but something happened to the car." Derek looked at her.

Casey was writing on her pad of paper at the police station. "I was not stealing the car." The officer wrote. The man that caught her slammed his hands on the table.
"But I clearly saw."
"wait. Wait." The officer stopped him looking at Casey.
"why did you go there?"
"I can hear you." Casey motioned.
"I know you can hear me. This questioning is really hard to do."
"Officer, don't give her sympathy just because she is mute." The man said. "There are a lot of crime organizations which all use these kinds of tricks to commit crimes."

Casey stood up furiously. "You are going too far." She gestured.
"Calm down Miss." The officer got up, "don't be so irrational."
"I really wasn't going to steal the car." Casey persisted.
"What is she saying now?" the officer asked looking over at the man who also stood up.

Just then Sam ran in. "She said she wasn't stealing the car." He said standing beside her. "She said, my phone is missing, it's in the car." He looked over. "Her phone was in the car, she wasn't stealing it."
"What a joke." The man said. "How could her phone get in my boss's car?"
"Because she wasn't content." Said Derek walking in casually.
"Mr. CEO." The man said.
"What do you mean?" the officer asked looking at him. "Who are you?"
"The owner of the car." Said Derek flatly. He walked around the officer, pushed Sam aside and wrapped his arm around Casey's shoulder. "And I am also her ex-boyfriend." Sam and Casey looked at him in shock as Derek smirked.

Preview of next chapter

"Is it for me?" Kendra asked Derek. He handed her a small velvet box. "Why are you giving me a ring?" Derek looked at her. "Just take it as a proposal of marriage." Kendra lifted her hand and gave the box to him. Derek carefully slipped the ring on her finger as she smiled brightly.

Derek held Casey close pulling her head on his shoulder in front of the officer and smiled. Sam looked after him. "Did it really have to come to this?" Casey shrugged his arm off her shoulder causing his watch to fall on the ground. "Because of a lost love you were jailed." Derek stared at the watch then at Casey. "was it really worth it?" Derek lifted his watch off the ground. "I was being nice and helping you. And you treat me like this." "She is not your ex-girlfriend." Sam stated leaning against Derek's car as he sat inside ignoring him. "She is my future wife. Ok? Are we clear?"

A bunch of people were fighting on the street beating up Sam. Casey ran to his side protecting him. She was hit too. She treated his wounds. "does it hurt?" "Of course it hurts." Sam smiled. "Will you ever let me hug you? Ever since I was little my mom never hugged me." Casey hugged Sam and he smiled. "Ever since I was little my never kissed me." He leaned toward her. She grabbed his lips between her fingers. He cringed. "I am a Patient." She looked at him questioningly. He lowered his head. She bent, kissed his forehead and ran off leaving him rubbing that place.

I hope you liked it. I also hope it wasn't confusing. I kept going back and forth between scenes. Give me any suggestions to make it better if you'd like. Please give me a review. Also check out my other stories I have. Chapter 7 coming soon!! Look forward to something new coming out soon.
