NIKAELEON***Getting a hold of Brier’s schedule was easier than breathing. I didn’t even have to try hard at all. The ease of which I acquired the schedule had initially made me suspicious. I had thought that it was a plot to lead me into a trap till I realised that Brier was really just careless. For a man that was involved with an organisation that surely garnered him lots of enemies, he was really careless with his security. Maybe he thought he was invincible because he belonged to the Black Knights, or maybe he was just that stupid.Brier had a strip club that he visited four times a week. He almost always did the same thing when he arrived at the club. He would order a drink and sit at the gallery above the dance floor to watch people below, on the main floor. When he found a dancer on stage or club goer that he liked, he would book the same private room and invite the person to join him. He would get a dance and then do to and with the person in the room whatever he liked. Then

The introduction intrigued me so I paid more attention to what the speaker was saying. He made some really valid points and then he was replaced by a female speaker. She talked more about eco-friendly projects and ways to curb the pollution that was causing climate change. The next speaker focused on ways to try and filter the already available sources of energy to provide profit and as well save the environment.The purpose for the convention was obviously a good one, but I knew that at the end of the day, most of the solutions proffered here would never be implemented. Only a handful of businesses were actually concerned about the environmental repercussions of their actions. The majority couldn’t care less, they were more interested in what would bring the most profit in the shortest possible time. These sets were only here to pretend like they actually gave a shit so they could earn positive credibility and hide behind that to continue their harmful practices.Halfway into the iti

NIKAELEON***“You just got back from the convention and you want to work, by this time? Isn’t it too late?” Aina asked as she walked beside me.I turned my head to the side to look at her, then I looked away from her and continued walking without giving her a reply to her question.“Seriously? You’re just going to ignore me?” She huffed.“I’m not ignoring you, Aina. I’m just choosing not to reply to your question. There’s a difference. Go find someone else to pester and leave me alone.” I said to her.“Choosing not to reply, ignoring me, they're both the same thing, Nik. There really is no difference. And I'm not pestering you, I'm just asking you a question.” She said and I turned to her with an arched brow.It was the first time that she had ever called me Nik.“What?” She shrugged.“Do you really expect me to call you boss every minute of every day? Surely it must get tiring.”She was trying to rile me. I ignored her last statement and commented on the previous one.“It’s not the

NIKAELEON***We drove behind the police car as they led the way to their headquarters. When we arrived, one of the superior officers frowned at my uncuffed hands.“Why isn’t he in handcuffs?” He had no hair on his head and since he was being so rude, I ignored the name tag on his uniform and decided to just call him bald headed man.“I warned them not to put the damn things on me. I came here of my own free will. I did not murder Wilbur Brier and I refuse to be dragged around in handcuffs for a crime I didn’t commit.” I said and the man scoffed.“You talk like it hasn’t happened before. You’re an ex convict in case you have forgotten. You served a jail sentence for attempted murder not too long ago and like they say, ‘a leopard never changes its spots’ so you’re back here. Dressing in fancy suits and owning a skyscraper won’t change the fact that you’re a filthy criminal. This time though, you went ahead and committed murder. I’m sure you think you’re above the law because you make s

NIKAELEON***The bald headed officer ignored my intent to not say a word anymore in Antonio’s absence, clearly thinking I was just bluffing. Or maybe he knew I was serious but he believed that I would obey him because I was currently under his jurisdiction. He kept asking questions, but I only took my seat, crossed my arms, and kept mum.“Drop your insolence, Mr Roch. I am being civil by doing the interrogation this way, you should be grateful for that. If you keep refusing to speak, I will have to use other methods to make you talk.” He said with a furious expression.“Torture?” I asked with a chuckle.“Try it and see what happens.”“Are you threatening an officer of the law? That is a crime.*” He said smugly.“Threats are beneath me, officer. If you really want to know if I’m serious, then try me.” I deadpanned.“Suit yourself.” He said as he stood.“Maybe a few more hours of solitude will be enough to change your mind. I’ll be watching you from the other side. When you look more
