Levi and Mark turn to see what the noise is about. "I think it's coming from outside," Mark said after a while of searching to see what happened. Immediately, he stood up and yanked his belt to the front. "Sir, get behind me. I need to get you out of here right now!" He said and pulled out his gun, holding it ever so slightly to avoid it being noticed. The noise caused a state of disarray in the bar yet no one knew exactly where it was coming from or what caused it. Mark took slow steps towards the door, scanning the room as he went. He walked slowly with Levi behind him till he got outside. "Where did you park?" Mark asked Levi once they got outside. "Have you forgotten that my car was bashed? Plus, I think I have found the source of the noise," Levi said pointing at a car that laid waste on the road. Mark placed his gun back into his trousers and walked with Levi to the scene of the crime. It was a black toyato. It looked exactly like the car Levi drove and the car was hit

Levi hurled into the hospital, bypassed the front desk receptionist without answering her questions as to whom he was looking for and he ran straight to Brittany's room. Mark followed right behind him while ensuring that they were no deadly looks from anyone in the room. Levi arrived at Brittany's hospital room only to find an empty room. "No, no, no!" He muttered and ran inside. Mark followed right behind him, confused as to why the room was empty. Could Levi's enemies really have taken her? How did they find out where she was? Was the truck driver a bait for them to get to know more about Levi's movements? He couldn't wrap his head around what was happening. "Brittany! Brittany! Brittany!" He screamed while running around the room and opening any doors he found. He checked the bathroom and he still could not find Brittany. "No. They have taken her!" He said to Mark, losing breathe."I don't think so. Remember, we saw the car outside so they must still be around somewhere. We

"Good afternoon, are you Mr. Strauss?" A man dressed in black walked up to Levi and asked. "Yes that is me." Levi begin to talk. "Look, officer..." But he was cut short. "I was sent here by Commissioner Andy to handle a case of kidnapping. May I see the picture of the woman that has been taken?" "Okay, officer. That is what I am trying to tell you. I thought she was kidnapped but turns out the hospital just moved her to another room. She is in there, safe and sound. I apologise for having brought you down here for no good reason." He had a good relationship with the Commissioner but Levi also knew never to abuse power.Commissioner Andy was a cut throat man. If he discovered that Levi actually wasted his time and that of his guys, the relationship that they had may be bruised. "Okay. Well sir I didn't only come here for that. He also mentioned a case of you being harrased and that your life may be at risk.""Yes!" Levi said. Somehow, he had totally forgotten about the death threa

The two rushed out, eager to know what was happening outside. But before Brittany could step outside, Levi held her by the shoulders. "Brittany, wait. Go back to bed, I will take care of this." He ended with a tone of finality, not leaving any room for her to argue. He opened the doors and stepped outside only to see a man in a white coat arguing with the police men. "I am a doctor in this hospital. You cannot treat me this way!" He said angrily. "Sir, no one is allowed to go in there without being checked." "What's going on here?" Levi asked."Nothing we can't handle sir," one of the men said. "Let him be. He is a doctor here and he is the one looking after Brittany. Allow him to enter." "Yes sir." Levi opened the door and the doctor dashed in, desperate to get away from the policemen. "I apologise for that." "What are you apolozing for? What happened?" Brittany asked. "They are a bunch of police men outside your door and I believe that your friend placed them there," the

Levi adjusted on his seat. He couldn't think straight. How could the man be fighting with such deadly disease all by himself? How long has this been going on? How did he miss the signs? Does his mother know about this?"I have so many questions!" He said while running fingers through his hair "I believe I would be able to answer them later. But not right now. I need to lie down."Levi sprang up when he stood up causing his uncle to give him a weird look that did not deter him. "Really?" He asked. "Yes. I want to know everything that you have been hiding from me."He took a long look at his nephew. He was a very persistent young man, just like his father. "Okay, let's go to my room." Gilead's room was as big as Levi's palour. He had almost everything that one person could need right in the room. His miniature fridge, a California king size bed, a walk in closet that housed his clothes, a state of the art bathroom, a mini study for work, a large screen television set and a comforta
