Kareem frowned in surprise as he peeped through the eye hole of the door. "Kareem? What is he doing here?" He once again looked at the boy who looked in a rather hurry to get the door opened. "What is he upto now? Plotting something against somebody? This boy is always upto no good."
Raol hesitated a bit and then opened the door finally....
Meanwhile.....
It was already evening and sun had set down when Sheryl was preparing dinner for everybody while Cheryl was lying down lazily on the couch of the living room, watching her soap opera. The kids were happily playing in the backyard, where a gigantic play area was created for them. The play area had a tiny covered swimming pool, an artificial science city, a jungle made from artificial trees and several animal cut outs. Several floor games were painted on the ground, in colorful paints. Both the kids were currently busy playing a board game inside the tent house, built in the middle of the artificial huge jungle. Their were dim lights coming from the turtle shaped lights from behind the trees, placed in several parts of the jungle.
Sheryl had switched on the light music in the kitchen to uplift her mood. She was side by side cooking italian food for all of them to eat. Meanwhile, Cheryl who was lazily lying on the couch, dozzed off in a deep slumber, while the television was yet switched on, its voice filling the living room completely.
Sheryl was now done with cooking the red sauce pasta and a vegan tomato pizza. She was now baking the white cheese mixed vegetables in the oven and side by side happily humming the melodious song. She was now in a happy mood as she and her sister will finally be living under one roof after they confess everything to Rhehan. She was happy that Cheryl finally confessed everything to her and was ready to mend her ways.
Soon the oven beeped and Sheryl wore her thick hand gloves taking out the baked dish from the oven, placing it on a wooden tray. Everything was now ready and Sheryl looked at her delicious looking creations with a satisfactory look on her face. She shouted at the top of her voice, looking out at the gigantic backyard. "Kids the food is ready. Common in sweeties!"
She then turned to look towards the door of the living room, placing everything on the table of the glass made dining room. "Chery sweetheart. Get up. The food will get cold. Just go to sleep after eating." She happily placed the dishes on the table, placing the food filled bowls in the middle. Their was no response from both the directions. Sheryl nodded her head in disapproval and looked in the direction of the empty bakyard from the glass walls of the dinning room. "Kids! No more playing in the jungle. Come inside quickly now or aunty will come and find you." Sheryl chuckled and then walked towards the door of the living room when suddenly a loud crashing voice came from behind her, making her fall on the ground immediately.
"SHATTERRRRR!!!!" The ear piercing noise echoed in the dining room, as the glass wall of one side had fallen down, breaking into several tiny pieces, scattering all over on the floor. Sheryl had fallen down on the floor near the door of the living room, and turned her head to look at the broken glass wall with fear and disbelief in her eyes. "Oh no! Kids are in trouble!" She immediately got up and ran towards the backyard scared for the kids' safety, from the glass door of the dining room.
She stepped inside the backyard and could sense something was not correct. There was an unusual silence all around and some the lights were also turned off, making the visibility extremely low in the dark. She quickly walked towards the wireless attached to the wall an dialled an emergeny number, leading straight to the security room. After several rings the call hung up and Sheryl shudered in fear as it was extremely strange that nobody from security was attending her call. She placed back the phone and slowly tip toed further towards the playing area.
The playing area was no less than a maze, where several gigantic and different set ups were created, giving it a look of a tiny disneyworld. In one corner was the jungle, while in the other corner was an iceland in 'frozen' movie theme. Besides the board games and other swings, was a huge toy train, which gave a complete tour of the entire backyard.
Sheryl walked towards the jungle first where she had last seen the kids, inside their favourite hideout, the tent in the jumgle. She walked inside a small wooden gate, which was covered with several artificial plants and wild flowers. With shivering legs, she walked towards the tent, which was situated in the middle of the jungle. The usually well lit area was now immensely dark with only a few distant lights turned on. She slowly walked towards the tent, when somebody grabbed her throat from behind, making her fall on the grass instantly. An excruciating pain travelled inside her head and she frowned in pain. She turned her head and spotted a masked man dressd in an all black outfit who was looking at her, and had pointed a gun in her direction. Sheryl gulped in fear as she spotted another masked man, who had now entered the house through the broken glass wall. He too had a similar gun in his hand and was now walking slowly inside the house now.
Meanwhile...
Cheryl woke up with a jolt, from the loud screeching sound of the glass breaking, from the other part of the house. She frowned and got up on her feet, feeling a bit drowsy. "Sister! Sister? Is everything ok? I heard a loud noise from somewhere." She walked towards the dining room in confusion, by this time fully awake. "Sister? Why are you not replying?" She walked inside the dining room and was stunned to see the shattered glass spread all across the floor. Her worst fears had come true and she now knew that they had been traced by Steve's men...!
