Chapter 24 - The Key

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Tayte quit it" I said, I could feel his gaze bearing through the back of my head,

"You amaze me" He said, "After everything you've been through your still going. Okay yes you've had enough and feel as if you want to give up and quit, but you haven't. And honest to God Keane, no one on this earth can ever take away your heart, your fight or your strength"

"Quit being sentimental Tayte, I never should've told you" we were following, Jimenez or Jimmy to his friends through the tunnels. It was 4pm, Noah had rang, then Arii, all worried about us. Thankfully Angelo hadn't told them we'd had a run in with Galviao. To me it was all one big blur, reality and fantasy was a mix between my consciousnesses.

"You know when this is all over, I hope we look back and think. How the hell did we survive that! And I'll say, we survived because no matter what, we always had each other" Tayte said.

We always had each other.

Thankful to say that we made it back to Ricardo's with no bother or disaster at around 5.30pm and we were both ready to collapse on a bed and sleep for 13 hours straight. Except, we had Noah and Arii to contend with and whatever was in the box too. The final key.

"Are you really okay?" Arii asked for the 50th time,

"Really we're okay" I replied, ignoring the look from Tayte,

"Then why's Tayte giving you the eyes?" Noah said,

"Because he loves me and can't keep his eyes off me," he laughed,

"That is true," he replied smiling,

"Serious though" Noah and Arii both said,

"Seriously we are both fine, Ricardo made sure we got away and his sister Lorena made sure we were safe and looked after, her son and Ricardo's nephew Jimmy got us here with no bother" Tayte said clearing the air, Noah mumbled something and in reply Angelo whacked him with a pillow,

"This must be very important" Caesar said, "Your parents they tell me to say; this is the key to freedom. In the right people's hands and you know who to give it too" he handed me the box, then the key and left the room,

"Open it" Noah said, "I want to know what it is"

"What if it's like a finger or something?" We all looked at her madly. Honestly I didn't know what to expect, but when I pulled out a small memory stick, I was half disappointed,

"That was a big build up for nothing"

"It's what's on this thing I'm worried about. We don't have anything to put this into, anything safe anyway" just then Ricardo came in with a new sleek black laptop,

"This is your fathers; he left it here for you"

"Thank you," Angelo said taking it and turning it on.

Here goes nothing.
