Heirs of Thea

She is really tired. She saw how those men burned the small apartment he rented. “If they catch me, they will kill me. I need to find a way to make sure that the contents inside the bag are safe”

'Make sure to remember everything I’ll say. Take care of those, no matter what will happen.' She remembered that’s the strong request given to her by the old woman while holding her hands firmly.

'But where do I need to bring them? I’m sure that madam will kill me if they find out that I have it.'

'Don’t be scared. If you arrived in the Philippines, just go to her directly. Tell her what your purpose of the meeting is and it will be on her.'

The old woman took out a piece of paper in her pocket and gave it to her.

“I need to leave here,” the lady said to herself. After a few hours, she arrived at the airport. Fortunately, the old woman fixed everything she needed for her departure. But before she arrived at her destination with her co-passengers, she heard a loud bang in the distance. The whole place went disorderly, the people ran everywhere. When someone suddenly grabbed and pulled her into one of the nearest rooms from where she was standing.

“You?” she was surprised by the person in front of her.

“Don’t make a noise if you still want to live,” a woman emphatically said while feeling the surrounding.

“You just requested me to do this, yet you also want to kill me?" she said while shivering because of anger.

“Your mouth will be the reason for your death if you won’t shut up” the other answered.

After a few minutes, a cell phone rang, “Are you sure that they are gone?” She didn’t hear the answer on the other line but saw how the woman keeps on nodding.

“Give me those you’re carrying. When we get out of here, I will ask someone to send you to a place reserved for you and your family, you’ll stay there until we fix the situation” the woman said to her after ending the call.

“How can I be sure that we will be safe there? How can I be sure that you won’t kill us?” she asked with hesitation.

“If I want to kill you, why would I save you if I can just let them kill you and steal the things you're carrying and leave like nothing happened” she answered while one eyebrow is raised.

“Let’s go before they think of coming back,” the woman said, before going near the door and opening it. She followed her quietly until they went out of the building and arrived at the car that is waiting for them. But, when they closed the door the car exploded.
