Vincent sat in his plush leather chair, staring out the window of his corner office. It's been five extra months since he put the case of Ferdinand and José in the hands of Jared and a lot has been going through his mind lately."Why?" he muttered.He got up and went to his window, gazing out at the busy street below and getting deeply drowned in his thoughts.Vincent was suddenly interrupted by a loud banging on his door.Startled, he turned around and found himself going to attend to it himself.Before Vincent could even reach the handle, the door flew open and a dishevelled-looking Jared stormed into the office.His clothes were wrinkled and stained with blood. His body didn't get any better as he looked as though he just received a thorough beating.Jared's face was covered in bruises and his lips were stained with blood.Seeing him in that condition, Vincent guessed it right that his entrance had caused quite a stir-up in the company.Two security guards rushed in after the man

Vincent drove up to the police station, glad that he finally got news of Ferdinand's location and sure that it was finally over for him.Vincent shut his car door and approached the police station but the police officers were walking out of it on their own with the press trailing after them.That scene took Vincent by surprise and he was about to ask them what happened but then got confronted by the journalists who kept shoving their microphones and cellphones at his face."What is the meaning of this?!" Vincent questioned, clearly annoyed with the crowding."Sir! How does it feel to be guilty of the murder of two men when you've been after two escaped convicts?!" one of the journalists asked, taking Vincent by surprise."Is your wife innocent or was she your accomplice?! Sir! We need answers!" another cut in."Murder? I did not kill anyone!" Vincent yelled, confused."But sir! We got the news that you single-handedly killed Mr Jared Xavier and Mr Johnson who is the detective chief in

"How did you... What are you doing here?" Tasha struggled to find her words while she watched Ferdinand tower over her.She held her baby close to her chest and looked pleadingly at Ferdinand as if begging him to leave.Ferdinand enjoyed her reaction and smirked, "I came here to see Mrs Veronica. And that bastard Mr Devine as well. I think it's a life for a life on that man's part. So, where is he?" Ferdinand replied, switching to a frown."They are not here," Tasha answered briefly but her heart was beating fast, noticing the gun in the hands of the other man.Ferdinand traced Tasha's gaze to the gun and then turned to Tasha, "We won't be killing anyone but that depends on how cooperative you can be."Ferdinand shoved his way passed Tasha and her baby and made his way to the living room while Kyle blocked the door so Tasha couldn't leave.Kyle signalled Tasha with his eyes to go in and she did exactly that, fearing the consequences of disobedience.Tasha entered the living room only t

"He what?!" Ferdinand's voice echoed throughout the police station. An officer just informed him of Vincent's escape."How the fuck did that happen?! How could a weak measly thing like Vincent escape this place on his own?!" Ferdinand yelled at the top of his voice, ready to grab whatever neck was close to him and squeeze the life out of it."Sir, he didn't escape on his own. We found out from some criminals after two hours of torture and interrogation that a masked man in a black tuxedo came to take him. The same man killed five officers." an officer explained to Ferdinand while trembling."Sir, we didn't mean to let this happen. We could have stopped the person if we knew who he was." the same officer begged with his head lowered in front of Ferdinand and hoping that Ferdinand wouldn't take a physical swing at him."How can a man! A single man with no help whatsoever! Easy kill five police officers?! How weak are you, people?! Are you all equally fools?!" Other officers shrank into

It took Alex and Vincent a thirteen hours flight but they finally made it to Japan.The plane touched down at Tokyo's Narita International Airport, and Alex felt a rush of exhilaration as he stepped onto Japanese soil. Eager to soak up every moment, he plunged headfirst into the vibrant city, almost forgetting that Vincent was with him.Vincent struggled to match Alex's speed as Alex navigated the bustling streets of Tokyo, Alex was awe-inspired by the towering skyscrapers, neon signs, and buzzing atmosphere. He marvelled at the traditional Japanese architecture scattered among the modern structures, blending the old and the new seamlessly. The sights, sounds, and smells were overwhelming, but in the best possible way.In his quest to immerse himself in Japanese culture and find his master, Alex felt like he was coming there for the first time."Do you mind slowing down?" Vincent called out to Alex.Alex turned around and Vincent just caught up with him, "Sorry, I got a little carried
