similar armed guards who were Highlanders, Humans I recognized as Amula and Builders who let us through to the elevator which one of them did a call on a radio requesting the elevator be brought down which we took to your residence.”
He formed a frown on his face as Barry kept talking “I was told by the Meritanians that Lance through them informed Scotland and the Table members in the Master Organization of Donald’s manipulating who will be dealt with as in punished for his actions. This Donald is a part of the Master Organization in the Royals group with no known negative attitude towards you till the manipulating. Donald will have punishment which I told the Meritanians to tell the others to force him to have a personal face to face meeting with you to explain his attitude towards you and possibly suffer injuries from you torturing him to talk if he’s tightlipped.”
He nodded his head feeling much better from Barry’s words who continued to speak “The Meritanians personally told me alone to get myself to your residence and inform you of the situation sensing that your reaction would be violent. They told me that I had the ability to stop you from lashing out in anger and hurting people in the process of your rage. Once your determined to be in the right frame of mind Donald will be brought to you in the building to meet in the Table members’ meeting room to personally explain his actions to you with people hiding in the room as witnesses and hidden video recorders to record Donald’s confession. This will be used again in the future to keep Donald in line if he gets out of line again.”
Jinks felt he feeling much better to sigh a soft sound as Barry stopped talking. He rubbed a hand on his forehead feeling himself exhausted. He yawned shocking him as he wondered how much sleep he actually got.
He again yawned as Barry spoke “Tatiana and I will be around in the building arranging things for Donald’s visit so go to bed. You look like you didn’t sleep very well at all.”
He felt himself too tired to argue got up from the chair and walked out of the room taking a route to his bedroom. He shut the bedroom doors behind him and eyed the bed with relief on his face. Groaning he took off his shoes leaving them on the floor along with yanking off his clothes till he was clad in his underwear shorts leaving his clothes piled on the floor. He went into the bathroom to grab his pajama pants which he put on exchanging his underwear shorts for them and walked out carrying his underwear shorts which he tossed to his clothes’ pile. He sighed and got into the bed and looked at the alarm clock. He saw it was barely ten o’clock in the a.m. groaned and lied on his left side which he threw the blankets over his head and shut his eyes allowing exhaustion to put him asleep as he passed out unconscious.
Jinks dreamed of his father with himself standing next to Lance who appeared to be glaring at the Meritanians who had their heads bowed while giving off growling noises.
Jinks spoke “What’s going on?”
He saw his father give him a black eyed glare before turning to face the Meritanians who again gave off growling noises sounding like they were annoyed with something.
He frowned as Ramses spoke without looking up “Lance you better tell him anyway before he finds out from someone else.”
Jinks looked at his father who looked at him with his eyes still black that spoke with an angry tone “Its Donald. He’s resisting people’s efforts to get him to your home building by locking himself in his office building. The fool is threatening deadly force if anyone tries to force him out.”
He felt anger to growl an annoyed sound as he heard Terra speak “It figures why Donald is doing that.”
He looked at the Meritanian as Erra spoke “Donald is scared of meeting the Master for he thinks he’ll suffer pain like one of his family predecessors suffered underneath the Master’s hands. Hence he holed up in his office building’s home apartment letting fear control him.”
Jinks gave off a growl in an angry tone allowing anger to take control. He felt hands touch his chest and forehead followed by the angry feeling leaving him.
He kept his eyes on the Meritanians as Ramses spoke sounding sarcastic “This is Ramses a mind walking plant that lives on the ocean a great distance from where you are talking to you.”
He heard Ramses pause before speaking still using the sarcastic tone “That’s not going to work, Donald. Didn’t you hear me say I’m a mind walker? I know what you’re thinking Mister.”
Jinks stared at Ramses who gave off a growl and added “Your language is not appropriate, Donald. I suggest you listen to what I have to say which involves stop being chicken to meet the Master. “
He frowned as Ramses spoke still with sarcasm “Suit yourself Donald. Don’t blame me that I warned you.”
Jinks saw the three Meritanians raise their heads while all giving off a harrumph like sound. He felt the hands on him let go as he stared at the Meritanians with a questioning look on his face.
He saw Ramses point a finger at him and spoke “Shouldn’t it be time for you to get up from bed?”
Jinks opened his mouth to protest as a hand forced his eyes shut followed by losing sensation of everything around him with blackness.
Jinks came to from the depths of sleep to hear the alarm blare its noises. He yanked the blankets from his head to glare at the clock seeing it said eight o’clock in the a.m. to feel he much better rested.
Jinks spoke “Sleep mode time.”
He heard the clock’s computer speak “twenty two hours.”
Sighing he got up and went into the bathroom feeling the need to shower.
Jinks came out of the bathroom naked with his form dried only to pause with a frown as he walked back into the bathroom to spot on the vanity counter were folded clothing with dressy like shoes below holding socks in them all in the color of black. He picked up the clothing to examine them seeing that they were his usual underwear shorts, dress pants but the top was dressy long sleeve button top with a collar semicircular on the neck and buttoned wrists which he put the clothes on his form while tucking in the top in the pants. He put on the socks and shoes then brushed his hair and walked out of the bathroom to the bedroom entrance. Jinks yanked open the doors to see Gustav standing in his usual spot with the familiar look on his face but had relief in his eyes seeing him. He frowned but walked to the dining room without a word and sat at the head of the table with hands clasped in front of him as he patiently waited for Jacqueline to bring the food. He saw Gustav go into the kitchen with doors swinging behind him as he waited feeling himself in a calm mood. His patience was rewarded when Jacqueline with her familiar expression but showing relief in her eyes came out carrying the tray with smells of food that made his stomach rumble as he felt himself hungry as she set it down in front of him on the table then stepped back staring at him. Jinks ate the food forcing he to take his time which he ate everything using silverware and drank all of the liquid in the cup of strawberry milkshake. Then once done Jinks stood up and walked out of the dining room to the TV room which he eyed the TV seeing it was still unplugged by no light seen in the corner of the TV. He sighed and walked out of the TV room to wander to Victoria’s room seeing the poster on the door gone which he peered into the room to see his daughter’s things scattered in the room were still there but the room looked neater along with the bedspread and pillows made. Jinks groaned out loud remembering Lance’s talk telling him that Victoria was sent to California for her to recover from public scrutiny. He went to the kitchen doors to hear muffled talk which he opened the doors and went inside to see the servants clam up seeing him with frowns in their faces and eyes. He didn’t say a word but went to the table bench to sit putting hands clasped on the table to stare out the window letting his mind become blank.
Jinks felt a hand touch his shoulder in a gentle grip as he heard Jacqueline’s voice speaking “Everything will be alright, Master Jinks. Victoria will be ok being where ever she is. You raised her very well. You’ll see her again when the time is right. Just hope that you’ll be strong for her for she needs your strength.”
He s
ighed loudly as Jacqueline’s hand released its hold on his shoulder with a gentle pat on the area. Jinks sat remembering his conversation with Barry the previous day flashing in his mind. He unclasped his hands to put the palms flat down on the table to narrow his eyes willing himself to calm from anger rising within him. He clenched his jaw and fisted his hands as anger took control as he heard the shrilling noise of the phone.
He heard Jacqueline speak “I’ll get it.”
Jinks battled within he willing himself to remain calm as his anger raged through him.
He heard Jacqueline speaking “You better come up. His mood isn’t good at the moment.”
He felt his anger winning the battle shut his eyes breathing hard through his mouth as he felt hands touch his back which he stiffened from the touch to feel them massaging him. He forced himself to mediate through breathing techniques as the hands rubbed his back while having his anger boiling through him. Jinks felt himself losing control opened his eyes and stood up from the bench feeling the hands off of him. He stormed from the kitchen slamming the doors jogging to the gym room which he reached the doors slammed them open. He charged towards the punching bag with hands fisted in front of him feeling himself losing to a rage
