Jackson checked the surroundings of the house. It was a house that was on a private property. There were no guards and it appeared as if no one was in the building. Jackson realized the only way in was to stay guard and watch who came in and went out. He nodded his head and went back to the car but Shelly was not there. The alarm bells began to ring. It was when he saw a note on the windscreen of the car that he realized that Shelly had been kidnapped.The note read, "find your way to 14, Broad band Street." He was worried because he did not know the place but that wasn't going to be an issue. He could locate the place with the help of the internet or he might just ask anyone who might know the area. He decided to call Joe to let him in on what was happening. After that he went on the search for Shelly.................................................................................................................................Shelly was gagged and she was blindfolded. She began t

It was about a twenty six minutes drive from New York to Brooklyn. Ben was yet to explore the city of New York. He had not really been going out that much. Infact he has not gone out at all. Of course Casey would have been the one to take him around town to see the things that it has to offer. Back home Ben was not privileged to do all that because of what he was facing with his family, especially with his sick mom and his physically challenged sister, Betsy. As the driver drove he was taken by the sight of the city. The very tall buildings and shinning lights. He was moved and impressed by it all. He was elated that he would stay in this city and whatever it had to offer he would take them will open arms and lap it all up.New York was not just any city, it was the city to live in, in the United States of America. Other cities had their own attractions of course but New York was the creme de la creme of cities in the United States of America, the land where dreams were possible. As t

As Gerard and Ben walked into the building the employees stared at Ben. Some were asking questions about who he was and who he could potentially be. "Good morning sir." The receptionist greeted Gerard. "Good morning Vivian." Gerard replied her. "How have you been sir?" The receptionist asked him. "I am good. Thank you."Gerard replied. "What about you?" I am doing great sir." She replied and smiled.Ben saw all this and he was impressed that Gerard was this friendly and free with his employees. It was a rare thing seeing someone who was so wealthy and influential having so much freedom with the people that worked for such a person. This made Ben endear himself more to Gerard. Everyone kept greeting Gerard until he entered the elevator the that took him straight to his office."The lift up to his office took about five minutes because they were going to the last floor of the building. "Can I speak Mr. Gerard?' Ben asked him. "Of course you may. Please do." He said. 'I could not help bu

It was four in the afternoon and it was time for Ben to go home. They had finished for the day. "I hope today you learnt something." Green asked Ben. "Most certainly." He answered gleefully. Ben was starting a phase in his life that he never thought possible. He looked back at what he had back home in the U.K. and what he wastrying to have or build here, and he came to the conclusion that his life would get better from here on out.Ben met the other workers in the department. They all appeared nice except one of them who appeared as if he was fed up with life. He complained about the country. He complained about the fact that he should be in a better place if the country made better provision for them. He was acting like a sadist. Ben was not expectingto meet someone like that here. He believed that anyone who found himself here should count himself lucky to be in such a position. Ben did his best to avoid the man. Ben later got to know that he was pained because his fiancee left hi

"It seems things are already resolved right now for you. As for me I still have a score to settle with Rose." Shelly said. Jackson looked at her as they arrived in her house. Shelly lived alone in a flat that was too big for her. It was a a three bedroom flat which was modestly furnished for a single lady. "Is that what you think?" Jackson said. Shelly did not know what to say or how to respond to what he said."I only thought that with no other threats around me you might want to go back to the life you had before you met me." Shelly said. "As long as I am concerned, you still need protection and I am the only one that can lay my life to protect you." He said. "Wow! My night in shiny armour." Shelly said playfully. Shelly was not expecting what he said. Infact Shelly did not mean it when she said that Jackson could go back to the life he had before he met her."Why do you think I need protecting? Have I not been doing a good job of protecting myself?" She said and a smile played on h
