Chapter 12 - family lore

Family Lore 

One day the Sinclair family hosted an afternoon party at 

their estate and one of the activities suggested was going 

through the intricate maze in the right wing of the Sinclair 

garden. 

Even though there was a large money prize offered to 

anyone who conquered the maze, no one dared to offer to 

enter the maze or even look in the direction of the garden. 

However, there was one man who was willing to take on the 

challenge and offer himself to enter the maze to entertain the 

guests. 

The party was only centred around the courtyard and it 

was starting to get dull, so the man took this opportunity to 

light up the mood while also earning himself some money. 

Bets were made to increase the prize money and soon the 

man entered the maze. 

Unfortunately, he got lost halfway through and the hosts 

had to take extreme measures to get him out. A helicopter 

was sent to rescue the man and as soon as he got back to the 

100 

ground he was welcomed by the owner of the mansion 

asking him how he was. Before a word could leave his 

mouth, there was a loud bang coming from his right side and 

at the same time the window to the helicopter's driver was 

shattered. 

"What a way to ruin the fun, no one is supposed to see 

the maze from above," said a young man, walking towards 

them while loading a shotgun and stopped when he was a 

short distance from the helicopter, "who knows who they 

might tell and word will spread about the secrets of the 

maze..." 

A man came running from the other side of 

the helicopter, he was the second driver assisting the main 

driver of the helicopter. He was in shock and disbelief with 

what he just witnessed, he stomped towards the owner of 

the mansion to confront him about what just happened. 

Bang! 

That was the last thing the man heard before he closed 

his ears as the gun was being fired at a closer range
