Charlie wailed as we moved into the car. That served him right. I pated Thunder on his shoulder for a job well done. Trina looked really tattered and unkempt. Her hair was all rough like that of an insane woman. She couldn't say anything. She just passed out. Charlie was lucky. Phillippe and the other guys were not too far from the building. They were watching from a distance. As soon as they saw me drive out of the place, they ran to the room to see what had happened. Then they saw Charlie on the floor groaning like a woman in labour. They took him up and helped him out of the room. Douglas had returned too. He was angry at Charlie for pulling the trigger. He blamed him for the failed mission even in his pain. Charlie's car was parked at the garage. Douglas took the keys as the other guys took Charlie in. They couldn't follow the same route as us. Luckily for them, that wasn't the only route out so they went through the other route. Douglas was a skillful driver. He knew how to us

Sarah took too long in the bush. Mr. Wellington's driver was shooting severally. He waited for Sarah to return but she suddenly became nowhere to be found. "Sarah! Sarah!!" He shouted. But he was only screaming to the wind. He asked some passers-by if they saw a young lady on a green walk pass but they didn't see anybody. Sarah ran really far from the spot they parked. She ran for some minutes before she finally boarded a cab that took her straight to Camilla's house. It was as if Sarah disappeared into the ground or ascended to heaven. Everything was just too sudden and unbelievable. He called the security men and told them what had happened. But it sounded like the words of a riffraff to them. It wasn't making any sense to their ears. Mr. Wellington was at the hospital already. He raced down there without any delay. He called the driver to know the precise ward his daughter, Sarah, was admitted to. He was walking into the reception then his driver explained the scenario and so

It was a sunny evening that day. It was so sunny that it could get a wet cardigan dried in a few minutes. The day was a long one. El-Malid returned from work very tired that day. He had spent his time yelling at all his staff for working below standard. El-Tech did not know any progress for a long while now and it disturbed his reasoning. He got easily frustrated lately. He would get angry at the slightest provocation and he would step on the toes of whosoever that will not bow for him. He was a demigod at the company. His staff hated him with great passion but they could only hate. They would be at the verge of losing their jobs if they grumbled even by mistake. Roxy was doing her usual business of arranging all valid documents and files in the archive when the notification popped up from her news feed. It was news about Bradon and how we have grown massively. The landmark achievements were beyond what El-Tech had ever done. We were just doing our thing, bit by bit, until we had t

The moment Maggie screamed, it was as though the walls of the house were falling apart. She raced to the backyard through the kitchen door. One of the thugs was pursuing her and he would hit her real hard if he caught her. She had to think smart and fight him so as not to become a forgotten thing. As she got to the kitchen door, she swiftly closed it on the thug. The strong wooden door then hit his head very hard. He collapsed that second. The others were following from outside the compound. As soon as they saw their fellow, half dead on their way out, they shook in fear. They couldn't just get it. It was insane that a woman could hurt a fully grown-up man that much. They didn't bother chasing after her. They had to get their comrade up to his feet as he groaned in severe pains. Thunder and Trina were now right in front of the house. They parked the vehicle some distance away to avoid any suspicion. They had to be very careful as I advised on the phone. The idiots that intruded on

We arrived at the gate. Sarah and I that noon. The security opened their mouths in awe. It was rather a funny thing to them to see Sarah in the car with me after they had searched everywhere for her. They opened the gate for us without questions as usual. One of them ran real fast to inform Mr. Wellington who had buried himself in thoughts on his big white couch. Mr. Wellington sprang up to his feet like a ready warrior. He was glad to hear the news and he couldn't wait to have Sarah in his arms again. Mr. Wellington could not believe his eyes when he saw his daughter. He rushed to her to give her a sweet tight hug. This was really shocking to Sarah. She thought he would take it so personal and begin to yell at her as usual. But he smiled so broadly and gave Tony a warm hug too. "Could this be mere pretence?" Sarah thought. She sat just beside her father while I was sitting opposite the both of them. I admired the daughter-father relationship they had even though things were now f
