Ronald

With Zayn Malik's 'good years' song playing softly on the radio, Ronald sat on the back seat of his BMW X6 with Scorpion who'd been driving for over 30 minutes now.
He'd been lost and quiet for a while now still shocked at what had just happened as the lyrics of the song's chorus spoke loud in his heart, it said;

"I'd rather be anywhere , anywhere but here..."

With Dr Grant's blood stains still there on the clothing in his hands (he'd changed into a black polo and a black leather jacket) with him starring at it, lost, and remembering the past, all of it.

He shouldn't be in the position to tell his best friend about his father's death, no one should.

"where are we going to sir? We've been driving around aimlessly for over thirty minutes" scorpion started with his cold, light but crispy voice.

No reply

"sir..."

"SIR ...!!!"

That's was when Ronald jumped back to reality.

"uh ..?"

" where to?" he asked again

" I don't know man, I don't even know what to do. what do I do right now?"

" you want an advice? "

"yeah."

"Do nothing, that's an advice. Let me take you to the airport, your private jet is waiting . I could call the pilot back and..."

" no no, not that. I don't think I'm ready to go just yet"

"Then what? If your father were here he would not like you to..."

" MY FATHER IS DEAD!!!" Ronald thundered with teary eyes
" ...and so is Dr Grant. And his last wish was for me to send his last message to his only son , and that is exactly what I intend to do, do you understand?"

" just that?"

"Yes, just that"

" nothing else?"

" what the fuck is your problem? I pay you to protect me, are you scared now? just do your job okay?!!"

" I work for you because I CHOOSE TO!!" scorpion thundered back as he navigated the car to a halt .

" it was your Father's last wish!!! And he was my friend, I owe him a life. How much do you think you fucking pay me huh? HOW MUCH?!!"

Ronald's tears dropped involuntarily, his hands were quavering. He knew Scorpion was right.

Scorpion had worked for the medusa for ten years as the head of field operations (the vampire's current job) until senator Chris hired him as a personal guard after he'd messed up a job- he'd been assigned to assassinate the woman who raised him as a child and he couldn't do it! It was senator Chris who hired mercenaries to do a 'clean up' job to save Scorpion and made the woman disappear.

If not for the senator's intervention, Scorpion would have been a corpse long ago. The medusa would have murdered him after he failed a mission.

Scorpion had retired peacefully from active duty in medusa and handed over to the Vampire. Ever since, he'd been working for senator Chris as a retirement job.

He was fifty nine years old, a retired special forces military division called Pyton. Three war deployments under his belt, ten years in medusa, retired for many years now, but still the deadliest field operator ever known in medusa.

" I made a promise to your father to keep you safe and that is what I intend to do! A life for a life! "

" I know these guys, once they learn of Senator Chris' son's presence in the country, they will come for you, and believe me, its only a matter of time. Medusa never forgets! Never! And definitely not Senator Chris, the traitor!

"so, we have a plane waiting. I'll take you there immediately after you're done with delivering your message. I have a wife and two kids now, so spare me the acrobatics please..."

" I need some air ..." Ronald complained angrily as he opened the door of the Car and walked out, fuming.

" where do you think you're going to?" he heard scorpion say, he didn't care, his head was full .

However, as he looked up , he saw a vaguely familiar building, blue in color, still standing tall and different from others. He recognized it, how could he forget? How could he forget his alma mater !

It was still very distant but he could clearly recognize it seated on the hill far away, amongst other buildings that could be seen from that position.

He felt a certain excitement creeping into his sadness as a smile crept up his face. It was Springfield High School, the home of the golden stars!

He laughed out loud! Because, that was one thing he had always wished to see again in his life for seven years!
So, he turned immediately to Scorpion who'd followed closely behind him, towering over him in height and breath with his slightly bow legs.

He hugged scorpion joyously!

"Take me there!" he exclaimed as he jumped into the grey BMW joyously.

" where?" scorpion asked with his arms akimbo , perplexed.

"Springfield high!! Come on, lets go!!"

Author's Note:

Ronald is on his way to Springfield , so is everyone!

But it's not what it seems.

Let's see what happens, if Scorpion can protect him.
