I went back to the destroyed building, picked up Mrs. Jane by her shoulder and carried her away from the house towards one of the cars.
After getting into the car, I sped off following the car's trail till I go the road, from the mark the tire tracks made on the sand, I could tell that they made a left.
So I went left until I arrived at a small town.
There I stopped at the petrol station to get something to eat as well as some bandages and some more petrol for the road.
After getting down from the car and purchasing petrol, I got into a small store and to get some snack bars for the road and any other edibles I could find.
"The rate at which men are killing themselves in this town is becoming more rampad!", a woman said to another.
"Yeah, the rate of sucide over the last couple of months has gone drastically; I wonder why the men are being so light hearted.", the other replied.
"Just a few minutes ago, a fat man was found hanging beside the catholic church", the woman who started the conversation added.
"Really?!", the other exclaimed.
"Yeah, but unlike the rest of them, this man looks very wealthy and he is seemingly not from around here!", she added.
Just as I moved around still eaves dropping on the women, I heard the Mrs. Jane struggling with the car door which I locked before going into the small store.
I quickly rushed back to meet her.
"Caleb", she replied as soon she saw me.
"What happened? Where is Benjamin", she asked getting down from the car.
"Let's get into the car, I can explain everything on the road.", I replied.
"How did you get this car and why do you look so pale?", she asked.
"I explain everything if only you can trust me and get in!", I said still holding a bag filled with the items I had purchased from the store with the little fund I stole.
".... How can I trust you. You said it yourself that you are not a good person!", she added.
".... Just like you did when you took me into your home and offered me hospitality, it was your choice, that ability hasn't been taken away from you even now, so choose.", I said and opened the car door, dropped the bag in it, picked out a snack bar and handed her one.
"If I had any bad intentions, don't you think I would have executed that while you were unconscious", I added.
"....Your bad intentions might be to sell me off or something!", she added acting a bit hostile.
"I really can't prove that you can trust me, so please just follow your instincts!", I said and walked to the driver seat of the car and started the engine.
"Start with where's Benjamin", she said as she sat down in the passenger's seat.
"Back at your place!", I replied as I began to drive straight.
"Wasn't the place destroyed, or was I dreaming?", she asked.
"It is destroyed, you were only unconcious, but very much still awake", I replied.
"I have one question before you further ask about yours?", I said.
"What's that?", she asked eating her snack bar.
"Where's the catholic church?", I asked.
"Not so far from here? Why?", She asked as she stopped eating to look at me.
"I heard something and I am going to confirm that!", I added.
"What did you hear?", she asked as I came to stop before the large crowd picking up money from the ground.
"What's going on here?", I asked.
"Beau Bae was here!", one of the girls said as she continued picking money from the floor.
"Beau Bae?", I said to myself.
"Who's Beau Bae?", I asked but the lady ignored me as she continued picking the bank notes on the floor.
"Oh Beau Bae; she's the town's goddess. Men worship her and can do almost anything for her because of her beauty. Coming from a wealthy home, she too happens to be very wealthy and generous.", she replied.
"Oh I really love Beau Bae, why can't all the wealthy people be like her?!", someone screamed in excitement as he continued picking up the bank notes on the floor.
To be continued......
