"it a lie you evil David, how dear you try to manipulate my son, said the ghost who tried to slap David, but his hand passed through David's face. (Door gently open), Alex and his step mother wonder who was coming, in a strange manner, "hello.. please can you come in, Mrs Fen asked, Emanuel walked in, using a low cheat face expression, which made it hard for them to notice his on a mission, "Good evening ma, he greeted so calmly. "Emanuel what brings you here, she asked. "no I called him over, to pick me, I can't keep staying in here, it looks like I'm slowly turning into an abandoned chips, said Alex getting up. "but Alex you're not fully recovered yet, she cautioned him, but he refused putting on his shoe, "mum I got to run, said Alex getting up from the bed, he pulls out the drip connected to his hand, Mrs. Fen couldn't say a thing, watching Alex leave.

"what have gotten into you, why open the front sit for me? "well sorry sir, my father is seated at the back sit as we speak. Alex didn't think twice before rushing out of the back sit, "don't worry I'll sit here, Alex went in making the sign of the cross, he gently looked back, and reversed his head to the front, "it's like I can see him, said Alex. "I told you his there, Emanuel replied, "I'm sorry boss, 

"no, no it's alright it's not your fault at all, it just that ghost, sorry your father, I mean your late father.. Emanuel forcefully reversed, I'm sorry sir, Emanuel apologized, "quick before my mother gets here, both Oliver and Mrs Fen were approaching, including the nurse, "Alex, Alex, (they drove off with David following), "Alex stop, your father will never take things easy on you, oh what a boy.. his just so stubborn… like my sister. 

"Yes sometimes, (they both looked at each other, "but I can take you with my ride, said Oliver, "sure please, said Mrs. Fen, she followed Oliver.

"oh my, sure, said Mrs. Fen doing as he said, immediately they went on a ride. 

Emanuel driving on a high speed not hitting the brake panel, looking though the driver's mirror David was smartly following them from behind, "Emanuel I know I haven't question your driving mentality before, but please what exactly do you think you're driving, do you know.. where I'm going to exactly? 

"no boss, but I'd know I'm taking you straight home, said Emanuel. "good.. so you call this, taking me home? why take this part, I'm your boss listen, you puck what are you doing? Alex asked giving Emanuel an unwelcomed face, "boss if you know what's going on right now, you won't regret I took this part, said Emanuel. "pretend not, for you're making me go nut, what exactly are you saying? Alex asked with that confused face of his. "Emanuel don't you dear blow up this cover, and can you slow down, why the rush? David shouted at Emanuel though the ear pod. 

"Hey punk, give me that control, said David collecting the bomb control remote, "David you can't start loading that bomb now we're still in the city, said his fellow worker, "who cares, no body… no f**king human.. cares, about the lovely explosion I'm going to cause, said David with a quick deity smile, turning the time bomb on. "hhhi ha, now the fun has began, said David in happy tone. The time bomb was set at the bottom of the vehicle, counting down from 10:0098 with exact speed of the vehicle, "look it will be much better if you slow down, if not you'll explored with your boss in that vehicle, said David. Emanuel looked at his boss, "I'm sorry boss, it's for the best, you've help me ever since we meet like a brother, now it's time for me to repay your kindness, except that the fact this might hurt, Emanuel thought smiling at Alex, who felt Emanuel's smile was weird, Alex looked away, Emanuel's face was fixed directly on the road with a jack, he increased his speed. 

"this guy is crazy, said David, he isn't scared of death, quick you mustn't loss him, I don't trust that guy, David ended his word so calmly. They kept avoiding cars with they reckless driving, causing lots of terrible accident, "Emanuel what has gotten into you.. wait a minute.. Emanuel's father is that you? are you the ghost, did you possess his body, oh God how should I put this question, Alex thought and kept thinking. "yes I'm his father, and do me a favor by zipping your mouth, said Emanuel with his attention still on the wheels, "what did you just say to…. Emanuel yelled at his Boss, "keep your mouth short you punk. 

"I can't believe I just said that, oh my heart is beating with guilt, God soften his heart towards my family even in my death, (Alex chuckles) I'm sorry Boss I didn't mean to, Emanuel thought not looking at Alex's face. But was read to drive Alex by swivet. A pitiful fear grabbed Alex making him weak in front of Emanuel, Alex eyes contact remained focused on road, 

"Emanuel I need your eyes on me and repeat what you just said, Emanuel I said… Alex was wondering why in a quick finger Emanuel pulled out some serviette, covered Luck for Emanuel he made a turn immediately before the traffic light turned red with Alex screaming, he wasn't expecting that kind of terrifying idea from Emanuel, "oh my goodness Emanuel stop this car, I don't trust you with the wheels.. if it was in my hand good, but in your hands no.. just stop the dam car man". Instead Emanuel unlocked Alex's seatbelt, "I said it, Emanuel you've gone mad, (Alex demonstrating), "I'm very sure it's your father who is controlling your body, but please still wake up, stop sleeping in there like a fool, his about to kill me.. your boss.. you idiot! Alex slapped him immediately the car stopped beside the edge of a hill, he quickly opened the car, "what are you doing.. he pushed Alex out with all the strength in him. He zoomed off within a speed the door closed. David hitting his driver, "hey, hey over there don't loss him, said David as they held full track of Emanuel, "you dear try to escape off my sight, said David. Emanuel didn't reply him, increasing his speed. Alex was still rolling down the grassy hills, "ouch, ouch... he quickly turned his foot against the rocky stone, there his foot dashed against the stone creating a full stop of his body almost turning over. (Character breathing heavily continuously), oh heavens that was close, still breathing heavily he quickly got up climbing back up, "that man has gone really crazy, I won't take it likely with him, said Alex angrily climbing back up. Valentine was done with his meeting, "boss, boss" Valentine stopped slowly taking a side turn, keeping Ogbolo who opened the door of the car standing. 

"Yes what's your problem? Valentine questioned. His servant bowed, "Good evening boss, I bring you today's photos, said the servant handing over the envelop, "thank you good job, keep watching him like a dog, Valentine commanded, "yes sir I'll do as you say, his servant replied, Valentine entered his car while Ogbolo closed the door running to the driver's sit, which he went in driving off, the servant turned leaving. 

Emanuel was in the run handling the wheels on high speed, not knowing the time bomb was designed against speed favor, "Emanuel I don't want to see you leave your family behind, but it will actually be a good idea to die with him, to avoid any other complicated investigation. 

"say that to your grandpa, said Emanuel increasing the speed the more. "hahaha, ha.. did he just tried to acting funny?
