Chapter 288 - James and Zeng- end (1/2)
JUMP
THUMP
CRASH
”WHO? WHO IS THERE?” The man ran to grab his rifle hung on the wall, and pointed at the two intruders who had jumped into the house through the window, and had landed straight over the potted cactus.
Oww...
o..
My bum...
”Get over me bastard, you are sitting on me.” Zeng yelled, his face scrunched awkwardly.
James smirked, ”You deserve this. I wonder how will you do the morning work now?” Karma surely exists. Zeng had embarrassed him with the same question when James's palm was scrapped by ropes.
”Shut up, you idiot. Think about the hunter standing ahead, ready to punch holes~ don't know in what parts.”
James' head snapped to the man who looked in late fifties and had French beard. ”Sir, sir sir, please don't shoot at us. We are not here with any malicious intentions but looking for Mrs. Claire Fraise. We are from Cheyna, and here to inquire about the Ricci family's daughter Romana and her child.” He carefully raised Evan's photograph towards the man. ”This-- this.... this child and the woman.”
The man's eyes never blinked, his body perfectly still, frown a sign of irritation rather than concentration. He raised the rifle up, ”Get out before I kill you. There's no one named Claire.”
Zeng tried to stand, but the cactus was stuck in his bum. He grunted in pain, looking around for something to hold on and try standing then. Just then his gaze fell on the photo frame on the table, ”You--You are Mrs. Claire's husband?” Zeng stated.
”Honey, who's there?” An elderly woman's voice came from the stairs. Soon she clattered down to check and found her husband pointing a rifle at the two young men.
”Darling, why did you come. These two rascals are from Ricci family. I will handle them and will dispose their bodies in our farm. Let me see how well it will fertilise our land--”
”James?” The woman called, taking everyone by surprise.
James raised his hand up, ”It's me. I am James. Please, I would be a terrible option to fertilise your land. But this man beside me is good for that. You can use him, I will help you in chopping him into pieces.”
Zeng ”....”
”James!” The woman called again, ”You are James, my Lucy's boyfriend? Oh my, you look so handsome in person!”
James ”...”
Zeng, ”How many boyfriends you have? Do you have STD? I better get checked,”
James cast a look at Zeng still stuck over a cactus plant, ”You are saying as if I have slept with you. Moron.”
”Whatever,”
”Mrs. Fraise,” James took slow steps towards the woman, simultaneously keeping an eye on her husband. ”You mistook me for someone. I am James, but my boyfriend's name is Evan, and we are here to ask a few questions about the fire in Valentino apartments and Mrs. Romana Ricci.” he showed the photograph, ”This woman and her child,”
Claire Fraise smiled. She pointed at the same little boy aka Evan in the picture, ”This is my Lucy. I mean.... Lucian. Romana's son. Your Evan.”
