 "Really, who is it? " Deborah questions.  "Oh don't worry gingerbread. It's not you" I say to Deborah and her face turns bright red. Her facial expression a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment. A true sight to see!  She folds her hands in anger and stares out the window while Dana and Timothy try their very best to stifle their laughter.  I still have my gaze on Deborah when Dana cut me. "So who is this person? " she asks.  "Ekene" I reply and they both raise their brows.  "Is he Chinese?" Timothy asks and I exhale to avoid laughing.  "No. Ekene is a Nigerian. He is very smart, quiet, and observant. He proves Nigerians to be very intelligent people. " I reply.  "Cool, sure we can trust him? "Dana questions.  "I'd find out.

  "How dare you!?" she screams at me as soon I am before her and with that question comes a slap to my face.    "Who amongst you killed a Fratello!? " she screams and all four of us fall silent.    "So you were there and couldn't stop it from happening!? " she screams again throwing another slap at me.    "Tell me who did it! " she screams grabbing my throat.    "I did! " I hear Deborah's voice break the silence and a few gasps and murmurs are heard from the crowd.  Madre turns to the crowd in anger and everyone falls silent.    "You did. "Madre says turning her attention to Deborah.    "Why? " she questions coldly as she stands before Deborah and Deborah falls silent.    "I said why!? "Madres screams as she plants her talon nails on Deborah's throat.   

"Sonia! "She screams.  "Fine! Fine, I'd tell him! "I scream in surrender. ~yeah right, like she'd know if I don't.  "Sweetheart. I'm not a learner in this field. I'd know if you don't tell him and baby, I won't tell you know when I'm gonna tell him myself. "She says and my jaw drops.  "I give you till the end of today. "She says before walking off and leaving me on the bench. I look up and find Desmond sitting afar with his head rolled back and eyes closed. ~oh, Desmond, you'd reject me if I tell you and I'd die of embarrassment if Gabby tells. That girl is crazy enough to tell you how stupid I act because of you!  He suddenly brings his head down and opens his eyes. He catches me staring at him and I remain frozen for a few seconds before I quickly look away. I stand up and walk off with embarrassment chewing my cheeks. It's night and I a

Gabby loses the strength and anger she felt earlier on her way here and her intention to scream some sense into Desmond vanishes into thin air.    Seeing him in this state of pain and helplessness makes her wish she could help him or at least attend to his busted knuckles but she knows better than to approach Desmond when he's like this.    Else his knuckles won't be the only things out of place but her jaw would join the limbo line too.   This sight makes her know Desmond sure has feelings for Sonia but if she knows Sonia as well as she thinks she does, she also knows what Desmond did today would make Sonia see him in a different light. What he did would push Sonia as far away as possible for him. She has to do something if not the dear ship she's been pushing would sink to rock bottom.    °°° Gabby walks into the female hall after changing her drenched clothes and finds Tori

"What are you doing!? I can well take the fall for I and Sonia's case I don't need any more blood on my hands! "Desmond shoots at Tori as soon as we're alone in the room.    "Shut it, dude. None of this is for you." She retorts at Desmond.    "Look... Look, Tori. I... I caused all this, you don't have to take the blame... I.. I'd pay for my crimes... I caused it... You're... You're innocent... You don't... "I begin to cry as I grab Tori's hands.    Tori chuckles. ~how could she laugh at a time like this!?  "Look Lolipop, if Madre decides to punish you tonight, you know that means death.    Look, I have nothing to lose. I don't know if my gram is still alive. If she isn't, I'd meet her on the other side and if she is, I'd wait for her.    Babe, the team needs you both. If anything happens to you both, this whole project would flop.
