Chapter 14 - Cooling Off

We found the petrol station, all eyes were peeled for the infamous Rex, we were all getting some strange looks but just ignored it and headed inside. It wasn't like your typical petrol station, it was super posh inside, like a mini Marks and Spencer's or Waitrose. Everyone began looking down the aisles, I just stood by the door until my phone rang, I headed out and answered it,

"Hello

Keane, don't do it

Don't do what Tammara?

You're in one of the most dangerous countries in the world and you are being hunted down by some of the top agencies and you want to parade yourself exploring Johannesburg and other surrounding areas

Do you have like a wire on me? Or in my brain that makes you know everything I'm thinking or doing?

This is deadly serious, it's not safe

Nowhere is safe for us at the moment

Look, I can't stop you. But I can warn you and this is an idiotic idea

Your feelings have been duly noted Tammara

Don't kid around, it's not just your life on the line is it. You have a family who can get hurt just as much as you" She then hung up. Bloody hell! I noticed 2 men watching me,

"What?" I snapped, they just turned away, I walked around the front, it wasn't until 5 minutes later I heard shouting. I headed around the corner and saw Arii being harassed by who I assumed was Rex, the womanizer, "Arii what's going on? Are you okay?" I headed over,

"I'm not okay, because for a start he won't leave me the hell alone and keeps saying he's going to marry me", Rex looked at me,

"I suggest you get the fuck away from my little sister and go and find some other innocent person to perv on"

"I don't want anyone else, I want her" I threw my crutches down and squared up to him,

"Walk away before you get taken away in an ambulance," he just laughed, which angered me even more, yet before I could hit him, two arms grabbed me,

"Don't" Tayte's stern words said,

"Let go of me Tayte, if you heard what he said you'd bloody well punch him as well"

"All I said was how beautiful Arii is and that I shall make her my wife"

"Don't you dare say her name. Fuck off" I snapped struggling against Tayte's restraint,

"I will try and reason with you when you are calmer" Rex then said,

"You fucking little shit" I snarled, fighting with Tayte,

"Keane, chill out brother" Noah said,

"Chill out! So I'm not allowed to protect my own sister now?"

"We never said that"

"Are you going to let go of me?"

"Are you calm enough for me too?" I didn't answer but he let go of me anyway, "We never said you can't protect Arii"

"I'm not even going to get into this, it's pathetic" I snapped, my blood was boiling and I was angry, I wanted some morphine, no, I needed some morphine. I was about to have a meltdown so I took a breath, my hands were shaking,
