Zayden and Alandria were now in front of the car. In 5 seconds, the mysterious armed men would arrive and probably...kill them...

"Zayden! You have to tell me...." Alandria began, but she was interrupted by the young man.

"No time! Get in!"

He opened the door and urged her in and ran on the other side to plonk himself in the driver's seat before speeding off to who knows where. Alandria kept looking in front of her, not knowing what to think! Where was he heading? Why were these men after them? What was going to happen now?

"Zayden...." she began as she gulped, feeling her heart race in her chest, "Please.....tell me....what....is happening?"

Zayden ignored her. His attention was focused on the road. He had beads of perspiration on his forehead, his lips were damp and quivering slightly and his eyes showed anger and a hint of fear. The criminal's car was charging at them at full speed. Zayden turned in every corner he could fine, but the menacing car was still lagging behind them. Suddenly it bumped into Zayden's white car,  clearly showing that they were not afraid to cause an accident. Zayden muttered a swear word under his breath, changed the gears and veered into a corner of a street at full speed. Clearly, he was a pro driver. Alandria's eyes could not leave him. It was true that he was a psycho sometimes...and that he could be very dangerous...but he also saved her life today. Why would he do that? 

Zayden sighed and relaxed. The criminal's car was stuck in traffic and out of sight after a few seconds. He shifted his back in a more comfortable way in his seat and let his gaze rest on the horizon. The car was now moving at a slightly slower pace.

"They won't catch us now..." he said as he gave Alandria a side-look.

Alandria nodded and smiled unintentionally.

"You really are a pro-driver" she admitted.

"Ha..." Zayden said without a laugh, "Thanks."

"Zayden...tell me..." the young girl began, "Please tell me....who are these people?"

"Doctor Bertram is my family doctor" Zayden explained, "He is also in a partnership in my dad's business. Why did he suddenly decide to kill me, I'll leave it up to your imagination because I have no clue."

"Perhaps it's about business...." Alandria suggested.

"Maybe..." Zayden muttered, "Or something else...something we don't know about..."

"What are you thinking?"

"I don't know..." Zayden sighed, "I guess everything will become clear when I talk to my dad."

"But if this is about business...then why did he decide to kill me as well?"

"You're a witness...you saw him about kill." Zayden stated.

"Of course...." Alandria whispered.

Everything became clear now. She was a witness to the attack. But if she hadn't been there Zayden would have been alone against all of this. But what could she do anyway? She was just a weak human being barely able to cohabit with her evil aunt. She was of no use in the fight against criminals.

"Where are we going?" Alandria asked, now curious about his plans.

"I am going to drop you home and tell your aunt to look after you, then I am going to find my dad and ask him what the hell he did to piss off the doctor"

"But there's no one at home" Alandria said.

"Ohh" Zayden looked at her as he thought carefully, "It's too dangerous to leave you alone in the house. You're coming with me!"

She was going with him? To his house??

"What....?" was all she could say.

"Don't stress...I won't attack you. My dad's home anyway. You're safe. We are both very protective people."

Alandria lifted an eyebrow,  thinking about the changing room incident and Zayden chuckled.

What the hell was going to happen in his house now?
