Truth revealed

Jane was driving to the town's exit when she noticed that her car's gas was running low,she turned around and went to the nearest gas station.

she left the gas station after filling her tank,she drove to the town exit,she met a different police man at the checkpoint.

“Hi madam good morning” he said as she wound her glass down, “Hi” jane replied. “can you show me your id card please?” he said.

“sure here it is” Jane said as she handed him her Id card. “let's see..you are Jane Harris...wait you are the daughter of mr Harrison ” he asked in surprise.

“yes” Jane replied staring at him, “so sorry ,I heard you were missing and have returned recently hope everything is good mam" he asked.

“yeah everything is fine” Jane answered. “ok, but if I may ask where are you heading to now" he asked. “Just going to see a friend of mine leaving not that far from here” Jane answered.

“alright drive carefully ” he said and waved at her ”. Jane wound her glass back up and started driving,she looked at her rearview mirror and saw him staring at her car.

“phew!” she sighed as she continue driving. she drove for hours till she got to the muddy road again,she was getting close to Ace's house,she stoped her car.

“This is a bad idea, what If I get myself in big trouble, I don't know why I am doing this” Jane thought in her mind.

she sighed, “ This a sucide step, I litteraly don't see any good reason to come back here” she said as she resumed driving again towards Ace's place.

she soon reached there and stopped at the bottom of the hill,she came down and went up the hill,she reached the entrance and knocked on the door.

“bang! bang !” she hit the door with her fist,there was no response,she banged again and again but there was still nothing.

she turned around and stared around. “maybe he has gone somewhere, well I tried my best” she said as she was about to start going down the hill.

she suddenly paused when she heard the door crack open,she turned and saw a scary looking face peeping at her.

“come in” he said with a cracky voice, Jane gulped and entered the room. everywhere still looks the way it was the last time she was here expect for Ace, he was sitting on the floor,he looked like a drunkard. his eyes were so red.

“Are you okay Mr...” Jane asked, he nodded. “ok,so you asked me to come back so here I am.” Jane said but got no reply.

“Mr, are you sure you are ok?” she asked as she went close to Ace, she touched his face and quickly pulled her hands back.

“oh my god you have fever,your temperature is too high,have you taking some drugs” she asked but still didn't get any reply.

“Emm just wait here we'll be back” Jane said and rushed outside and stared around,she didn't know what to do.

“oh Mr Derek!! ” she said as she dashed down the hill,she got in her car and started driving up the muddy road, she drove for some. minutes and soon fell there.

she went to the door and knocked,Mr Derek opened the door,“Heyyy miss Jane, am happy to see you, what brings you here again or perhaps you are lost again?" he said as he laughed.

“no am not lost, its the mister that brought me here the other day,he his sick and he needs drug,do you think we should take him to an hospital ”Jane said.

“No,there is no hospital nearby,wait here” Mr Derek said and went in. He came out and gave her a drug,“he should use this and the one I gave him the other day that should do” he said.

“thanks” Jane said and quickly went to her car and drove back to Ace's place,she met him lying on the floor.

she helped him get up and sit on the bed,she took a bottle of water and gave him the drugs, he took it and laid down.

He laid and stared at Jane, he soon dozed off. Jane went out and went to her car,she took her phone and chatted with her friends it till she was tired and decided to take some rest, she slept off.

she woke up and realised she has slept for almost two hours,she came down from her car and went up the hill,she entered and met Ace sitting on the bed with a sober face.

“are you feeling better” Jane asked as he sat on the bed,“yeah thanks ”he said. “so have you eating anything? she asked him.

“i haven't eaten anything since you left” Ace said.

“you must be worried about your wife's death, you have to eat and stay healthy for her sake” Jane said.

“i can't believe they are gone,after all we've been through as a family, I will not rest until I get Greg heads” Ace said as tears flowed down his eyes.

Jane felt sorry for him. “so that's why am gonna beg you to please help me get back to the city,Just help me get there and lend me some money which I promise I'll return back, then I'll stay out of your life” Ace said.

“emm,about that..,I don't think I can do any of those things you are asking me to do ”Jane said said stammering.

“what, please you have to do it for my wife's sake please ” Ace begged. “it's complicated, helping you will affect me” Jane said. “what do you mean,what are you saying!”Ace asked furoiusly.

“Are you connected to Greg,do you know him from somewhere or you are related to him?” Ace asked.“No I am not related to him but I know him,” Jane said.

“you know him!”Ace asked looking confused, “yes he works for my dad many times” Jane said.“He works for your what!, Wait a minute, I knew I have heard your name somewhere before.

......flash back.......

“ok Mr Harrison we will deliver the goods in less than 20 minutes,yes..ok thank you” Greg said and droped his phone.

“Hey Ace get your ass here and go get a truck ready we have a special delivery ”Greg said.

“why us it always Ace work when it comes to important deliveries,can't you just send me for once?”Nick,Greg's worker said.

“will you shut the fuck up you fool,you expect me to send your slow ass on this delivery? you are too slow and inexperienced, let the good driver do it!!” Greg yelled at him.

Ace smirked at Nick and took off to get the truck loaded up.

.....flashback ended....

“i knew it!!!!,your father is responsible for my wife's death” Ace said and stood up and grabbed Jane in the neck pinning her to the wall.

“no..am sorry..my dad didn't do it,it was his friend, he only helped his friend order it..” Jane said as she struggled to breathe.

“i don't care!! I will kill you then kill your father as well” Ace yelled. “if you kill me.. how will you get back to the city..”jane said still trying to cath her breath.

“oh..” Ace said and let her go,she fell and was panting heavily. “ok let's make a deal ,I'll help you get back to the city and get you any amount you need and you will promise to spare my dad?” Jane asked as she got her breath back.

“Fine,but only on one condition, you have to swear not to tell anyone about what I plan on doing” Ace said.

“fine its a deal” Jane said and stretched her hand for a handshake, Ace looked at her and stared away,“i guess not ” she said and sat on the bed.

“hughh”, Jane sighed and sat on the bed.

“so what's your plan"
