A white-painted mini-truck drove through a lonely deserted road and the two lights from the headlamps of the truck showed brightly in the darkness that covered the earth because of the absence of stars and moon.The two occupants inside the truck were silent, and a hood covered the head of a lady among the pair. "Are you sure you are up to this?" "I have no choice. I am happy that I have a chance to defend my life and not be hurled into the palace cell." "You deserve what is coming to you. Nevertheless, I can stop myself from feeling sorry for you." "You suppose to be happy. After all, am saving your lover from harm's way." Zuma nodded his head, swerve left to avoid a pothole that was filled with erosion water, then changed the truck gear and accelerate faster. In replacement of Mandy, Shiela was made to dress as a royal maid, handed a small revolver and ordered to disguise herself as the culprit. "It's a suicidal mission." "I agreed. Yet I feel exhilarated instead of getting s

While Augur and Barrymore were escorted out of the mafia palace, twenty men were making their way through a long and dark underground tunnel, and the sound of their shoes echoed around them. Guided by light shimmering from their small torchlight, the group walked for a while, reached a T-junction, and then halted confusingly on the way forward."We have two maps with us, the one that will take us through the right way shows we will be crossing a crocodile-infested lagoon, while the left route will take us through a snake-infested area. Neither of the routes seemed palatable to me and that is why I need your take on this," the leader of the wannabe mercenaries announced. "Both were scary routes, and the best option is to turn back. But since that is out of the picture, I suggest we tossed a coin over this.""Good suggestion, let the gods decide for us.""The gods gave us brains so that we can make the best decision in time like this. We don't need to saddle them with what we can work

Apart from its bogus name, Adams creek was like a normal creek with dirt and debris. Located on the posterior side of the island, and inhabited by wild animals, the route leading to the creek was mostly deserted during the daytime, and desolate at night. After packing their cars at the open field closest to the creek, Priest and the guards with him dropped down, brought out their prisoner and the whole party walked towards the source of the humming sound of a speedboat. "The two of you should stay here, two over there and also at the back of those trees," Priest pointed to some among the guards with him, then towards some well-defensible spot and let out. "Yes, boss." "Apart from the expecting twenty-two mercenaries, Augur and Barrymore. Don't allow anyone to pass through this route until we leave this island." "It will be done, boss." Priest and his guards followed the footpath route and arrive at the riverside, and the men immediately dispersed into the forest before them to

The speedboat covered hundreds of kilometres in a few hours, and its speed seemed satisfactory to Priest as he keeps nodding his head in contentment. "How many kilometres away is our destination?""Four hundred kilometres. At this speed, we have four more hours to spend on the water.""I will appreciate it if you can move a bit faster than this."Moments later, the sun suddenly fled the sky, and the blue cloud was overpowered by a mass of white cirrus clouds that appeared from the east, and then covered the whole horizon. As the barometer inside the boat fall drastically, the ocean began to swell up, reaching over ten feet and coming apart every five seconds."What's with that?""Typhoon.""Bad luck. We were exposed and it won't augur well if we were caught by a storm in the middle of the ocean.""What to be done? The darkness is fast approaching.""I suggest we turn back," Augur peeked at the looming darkness, shakes his head and announced, "sailing forward is suicidal.""The caut

The merry-go-round started as soon as daybreak, and the ladies of attendance were glowing with excitement by the time the sun peeked in the sky. Unlike when everywhere smells of booze and sex, Johji inn was washed and decorated with balloons, drapes, chair and table covers, twinkling lights, purple linens, and lots of beautiful flowers. And looked different from its usual state, and not like an inn for sin.Overcrowded by the feet of mafias, fishermen, planters and local merchants who came to watch the sales of their favourite Inn, and booming with music from the DJ who arranged his musical gadget within the inn's fence. Johji Inn is a place to be at this time of the day. As for the ladies in attendance, they were dressed to kill and enjoy once-in-a-lifetime attention from the tons of men who toured around the inn. Hours later, twenty mean-looking mafias strolled into the inn and walked to the liquor section, then stepped onto the podium that had been laid with red rug and decorate
