This choice: Kanya refuses to enter the house  •  Go Back...
Chapter #6

Recognition

    by: Unknown
Kanya gave Nale an apprehensive look, "I can't go in there...."
His handsome face was agitated as he walked to the door, "suit yourself, but if I was you, I'd decide where I was going to hide. It won't be long til Raul's goons find us."

How does he know about Raul? Why is he so familiar? She hesitated as he went in, leaving her standing outside.
"Okay! I'm coming!" she said as she picked her way up the rickety porch. For some reason she knew she had been in this very place before, but she just couldn't remember when and why.

The house looked more like a shack than anything. The inside was in as much disarray as the outside was. A small living room looked like it had been ransacked. Kanya walked quietly through the living room, into a small kitchen. It had some dirty dishes in the sink and a small refrigerator that was in need of a good cleaning. The whole place had a rauncy odor.
There was only one bedroom. It was small with a regular sized bed. The bed was made, but Kanya had serious doubts to how clean the bedding was. There was one bathroom that was tiny and dirty.

"Well, looks like the help hasn't arrived to clean," she said as Nale came up behind her.
"Yup, listen, you can take the bed and I'll sleep on that couch. I think I need to be near the door. You know, when Raul figures out you're missing, there's going to be hell to pay."
Kanya shuddered. She didn't want to think about it. This was not what she had intended when she made her escape.

"What were the cops wanting with me...do you know?" she said as she found something to clean the bathroom with.
"I'm not sure, but you can bet it had something to do with Raul. He's been on their radar for quite a while," Nale said as his dark eyes watched her intently.
Kanya cleaned, but carefully looked at Nale. He was extremely good-looking.....tall, muscular build, dark shoulder-length hair and piercing dark eyes. He took his shirt off, revealing a tanned set of stomach muscles.

"OH, my gosh, I remember now! I know who you are! You're that FBI man who Raul wanted killed! Here....we came down here so Raul could do 'business' and you were going to bust him..us!"
Kanya's eyes went to Nale's right shoulder and she saw the scar, "He shot you!" Nale nodded, "And as he was going to finish me off, the cops showed up.."
Kanya's face was animated, ".....Raul was scared and left in the boat, telling me to finish you off, but I drug you behind this place and hid you....then I lied to Raul and told him you were dead."

"That's me....back from your past to rescue you, this time," Nale's dark eyes sparkled.
Kanya's stomach churned, If Raul finds out about this lie, he will not be happy with me..
"Don't worry, the secret is safe with me. I've gained a few pounds in the last three years, and I wear my hair long."
Kanya's heart was pounding, but she tried to sound undaunted, "That's why I didn't recognize you earlier!"
The sound of the ocean crashing against the shore broke the silence, but in the distance they could hear the roar of a vehicle coming up the drive.

You have the following choices:

1. Nale and Kanya are confronted by thugs

*Noteb*
2. Nale and Kanya slip out the back, into the tropics

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
