After we had managed to overpower the kidnappers and free Laila. She was shaken but unharmed, and Larry and I quickly explained that we were there to rescue her. She clung to us with gratitude and relief as we guided her out of the hotel.I was not happy because whoever had decided to kidnap a child must be wicked. Larry wanted me to act nice because of the child but I was raven mad. When the senator talked about his daughter, I thought he was talking about an adult.Larry tried calming me down. He made me see that we have our own problems rather than looking for the sponsors of the Senator’s daughter’s kidnappers. I calmed down and asked that we get the kid and leave immediately.But as we made our way to safety, Larry insisted on a dangerous move. He wanted to take one of the kidnappers as a witness and a gift for the Senator. It was a risky proposition, but Larry believed it would give the Senator an upper hand against his political rival, who had orchestrated the kidnapping.I hes

“Larry. I want you to look into Officer Page for me. I think he is also working for the contractor but I need a confirmation,” I said.“Okay, Cassie, if you say so but the man is a police officer,” Larry said.“Everyone has limits and everyone is corrupt in their own special kind of way,” Larry said.We went together to go and see Marvin. I was not taking anything for granted. If there was something I needed more it was more guns and hires. I know the Contractor is scheming something and I have to be very prepared for whatever scheme he would throw at us.We arrived at Marvin’s mansion and as the guards noticed Larry they were in their best behaviors. I called Larry to tell him that we were in the living room.“Please who are we? When you say ‘we’ are in the living room. You mean did not come alone after all these.?” Marvi asked.“Remember that I told you that I will come with Larry to enable me to understand and grasp what you are talking about,” I said.“Oh yeah, I remember,” said M

Marvin suggested that both Larry and I be present when he confronted Shantel and her father at the hotel. However, Larry disagreed."Marvin, we have two other meetings today, you can handle this on your own. You don't need us there. Just sort it out with them." Larry said and he was looking at me as if he were reminding me.I looked at Marvin, understanding the weight of Larry's words. It was crucial that we attend to our other commitments, and Marvin, in his newfound determination, could face Shantel and Mr. Ross without us.We needed to meet with the Martinez Gang and also Senator Thomas for the job I am so certain I do not want to take."I agree with Larry, Marvin," I said. "You can handle this. We'll be here for you if you need anything, we are a phone call away,” I said.Marvin nodded, grateful for our support. "Thank you, both of you. I'll handle it. Let's go to the hotel."“You still want us to go to the hotel?” I asked.“Yes, you should welcome Shantel. At least then you can g

Madamme Flo was an old member of the Martinez Gang and most members of the table respected her. Her newfound love with the Contractor was to overthrow Sancho.I could not understand why Sancho did not see this coming and why he was quick to do away with me. Without me, this Table would have come for his blood. I was the stability the Table needed and I ensured that they saw that today.I was not going to play cat and mouse with these table members right now. They need to be ruled by fear. So that when I am gone for a few months due to my pregnancy they will be in check.Sancho ordered Larry to get my chair and Larry took my chair, placed it where I was in the Deputy Leader's position, and ushered me to sit on the chair. There were very few claps of hands and I did not fail to notice those who still felt I should be a member at the table.They were the ones that were glad that I was back. At that moment, Sancho stood up and said, “If there are no more questions, we should move to other

“You were practically awake all through the night. Please, I would love to know what is troubling you,” Marvin said, as he gave me a peck on my forehead.I was very grateful that someone was watching me while I slept, but honestly, there were so many reasons why I could not sleep. There was this sudden urgency to build networks and influences that would protect my loved ones forever.“You were watching me all through the night, practically you did not sleep yourself,” I replied.“That would be difficult with you in the bed,” Marvin said.“Are you sure you were watching me or wanting to see whether I could change Marvin and he loved it, his eyes lit with a broad smile.“I would not mind that,” Marvin said, and tried to hold my breast.It was like a relax action. He was on the floor at just that moment: I had twisted his arm, turned him around and threw him to the floor. Both of us looked at ourselves with the utmost shock.“I am so sorry, I don’t know what came over me, Marvin,” I said
