Daven: His lost memories

Chapter 17: Help me escape

" Who on earth would want to live in this place?" After 15 minutes in the forest, he could see houses not far ahead and sped up.

The small neighborhood was really quiet with no people in the street, this gave Daven a bad feeling. Almost every houses looked empty with no sign that people live in them. He looked left and right searching for the house he was going to Finally after searching for it for 5 minutes, he finds it at the end of the street.

This house was quiet different from other ones as it was bigger and had something off about it that he didn't understand. He got off from his scooter and took out Three food containers that had a delicious smells of different aromas that made Daven's belly grumble.

After ringing the doorbell for a long time, the door was finally answered A young girl wearing a long, shabby dress, who was around the age of 18-19 opened the door.

Daven didn't expect it to be a young girl, he was waiting for an elderly person because no teenager would like who would live in this isolated place. Looking at her, he noticed bruises all over her arms, legs and face. Daven frowned and guessed something was wrong but said nothing about it.

" Good morning mam, delivery for "He looks at the name." Uhm Tom Gerrard."

Suddenly a man with a long scar across his face comes to the door." What took you so long?" he turns over to the girl and said. "Bring them over at the back "and left.

The girl who had a pitiful look slowly takes the food from Daven, secretly giving him a small piece of paper in his hand when she made sure that the man had left.

When reading the it, Daven's eyes widened in shock. He quickly whispered, "I'm sorry, but I can't." Helping her was just asking for trouble. Although he felt sorry for her, but he couldn't help her.

The girl kneels down and pleads him in a lower voice afraid of being heard." please, get me out of here I'm begging you, please. She began sobbing leaving Daven with no choice but to give in.

He sighs and said to himself, 'Oh I'm so dead today.

"Fine, hurry up."

Hearing him agree to help her, she quickly rose her head to look at him." Thank you so much."

She quickly got up and went to away. When she comes back she comes back with another girl who was 9 years old. The teenage girl began to speak in sign language with the little girl which surprised and confuses Daven.

" You need to get going okay? I promise to come to you once I escape. " She hugs the little girl with tears streaming down her face. This scene made touched Daven who was standing at the door.

The teenage girl looks at Daven, wiping off her tears, she said. Please takes her with you."

" Wait, aren't you coming." Daven asked with a concerned look.

The girl quickly shook her head and said, " No, we can't escape at the same time. They will easily catch us..."

" Katrina!! "

The girl quickly slammed the door and went to the backyard where three men were seated.

" Where were you all this time? Quickly, serve us! " the man said impatiently.

After the door was slammed, Daven didn't waste anymore time and took the girl to his scooter with his heart beating fast as he didn't know the people he was dealing with. ' They can be murders.'

When they got out of the forest, only then did Daven relaxed. Now he has to think where he will keep the little girl.

He thinks about taking her to the restaurant, but who will look after her because he will be out to deliver food. He sighs when thinking about Brittney. ' Brittney is probably very busy right now.' Still thinking, he suddenly thinks of someone.

" Granny Tae! "

He took out his phone for directions as he wasn't familiar with the roads. After getting the map he turns to the left at traffic lights and headed to Granny Tae's house 20 minutes later he stops infront of Granny Tae's house. Looking at the time, he silently cursed.

" F*ck! "

For sure this is my first and last day at work He looked at the girl with gentle eyes then looked at Granny Tae's house before saying,

"Lets go."

He helps the little girl off the scooter and walked up to the doorstep. He inhales and then exhales, and rings the doorbell A second later Granny Tae opens with a gentle smile. Daven didn't give her time to greet and went straight on asking "Granny Tae, can you please do me a small, little, tiny favor?"

Granny Tae didn't noticed the little girl standing next to Daven. "What can I help you with, honey?"

" I'm late for work, can you please look after her for me please? " He bends over to the girl and says, "I'll be back just right now, she's going to look after you, okay? "

Granny Tae who didn't get time to react saw Daven already sitting on his scooter waving at them.

" Thank you Granny Tae! " then went off to his next delivery.

She stood there staring at the little girl dumbfounded who was a little dirty. When she gets back to his senses, she takes the little girl's hand and brought her inside " Come on dear, let's get you cleaned."

Daven's second delivery was only 5 minutes away from Granny Tae's house which was a relief.

" Where the heck have you been all this time? We almost died of hunger because of you!" A sissy boy at the door said looking at him with with a scorn.

Then a girl pops her head out and said lazily. "Let's just eat, I'm hungry already. Here's your tip anyway" she gives him his tip and takes their orders.

Tip? Daven already forgot about tips. He smiled apologetically, and turned around to leave. " Just one more left.''

"Wait, am I the only one that smells hunger. "Timothy who was sitting lazily with at his desk takes out his phone to check the time.

"..."

Lloyd who was sitting with Brittney said nothing and focused on his work with a stern face. While Brittney didn't even noticed that he was talking as she buried her head on the file she was holding.

Seeing no one saying anything Timothy said no more and returned to back to his work.
