The Senator was shocked that someone knew he had orchestrated the whole thing. It was a top secret to remove the Senate President.I took a deep breath, the truth was a bitter pill that needed to be swallowed."It's not just about what you've done, Senator. It's about the intricate dance of power and revenge. You were caught in the crossfire. You wanted him out. He would not go down without a fight" I said.“He can keep the seat and his position, just don’t hurt my family,” Senator Alby begged.I took a deep breath and sighed. I was not going to kill him but he does not know that yet.The question that lingered in Senator Alby's eyes was one of uncertainty. "Are you here to kill me now?"“I want a list of all the Senators who planned this with you. I want their names written out, take out a sheet from your bag, and give me those names immediately.The Senator refused. He was unwilling to name his accomplice. It looked like he would rather die than make that decision.I hated politics.

As we drove into the Mansion, Marvin’s personal guard welcomed us. It was an airy evening and I saw the look on Larry’s face, he was tired. The day had been long and tiring. Everyone needed a rest, but not me.The gravel crunched under the tires as I pulled into the driveway of Marvin's mansion. Larry, my steadfast ally, turned to me as we parked."You want me to stay, Cassie?" he asked, concern etched on his face.I shook my head, a silent acknowledgment of the delicate nature of the upcoming conversation."No, Larry. I'll handle this. Stay alert and be ready for anything." I said, acknowledging the fact that he needed some rest.“You know I could stay if you wanted it,” Larry said.“Yes, I am sure you could, but you see I can handle Marvin and I do it best when we are alone. Moreover, you look like you need a very good rest,” I said.Larry laughed, his tired face popping out wrinkles like an old man.“Cassie, you need the rest more than I do. Though I understand you are trying to en

As we made our way to the office, Shantel and Mr. Ross following us, the atmosphere shifted. A ripple of surprise coursed through the office as the unexpected guests entered.There were a lot of murmurs everywhere we passed through and I got it. People had not seen Shantel or Mr. Ross for a long time and they had different versions of what had happened, which of course may not be true.Then there is me, their chief Security Officer, who no one knew her whereabouts. As we moved to Marvin's floor, Rose held my hands and whispered to me, “I knew you could not let go of the boss,” she smiled.I smiled back but said nothing. I was very suspicious of her and I felt she was working together with her husband for Uncle Jonah.The day promised to be interesting, and as we navigated the sea of curious glances, the complexities of our shared dynamics became more pronounced.In the office, the air buzzed with a tension that transcended the ordinary ebb and flow. The regulators and police were alre

“Who called for the meeting Larry?” I asked as we made our way to the gang’s meeting. I was really feeling stressed but I was not ready to rest until I saw that I had accomplished all that we had planned.“Sancho called. He sent you a text, Cassie. You need to be prepared. They may need to know what our next move is,” Larry said.“We knew this was going to take place, they would want to know what is going on, after cutting ties with the Contractor, the Gang seriously needed a new source of income.Though we had managed to meet expectations I had promised the Gang I was going to surpass what we doing when we had the Contractor on board with us.We got to the warehouse and it was looking quite scanty as we approached the gates I could not see the men that I usually encounter outside the gates. I asked Larry to park by the side of the building. I was not comfortable with what I saw at the gate from a distance.“I don’t like the feeling I am getting. Something is not right. The setting lo

The news of the jet explosion reverberated through the city like a shockwave. The night air, once filled with uncertainty, now bore the weight of an impending tragedy. Every one of us was shocked. Phone calls cut across every phone. People wanted to know what happened and who was on board.Shantel and Mr. Ross were missing, their fate hanging in the balance, a haunting echo of the shadows that seemed to envelop our every move. No one could say for sure if they were on board. I wanted to know if this mishap was meant for Marvin or for Shantel and her father.Why would someone do this at this point in time? A thought ran through my mind that it could be Marvin who was trying to do away with Shantel and her father to cover his tracks once and for all, but they were allies and friends for that matter.In the midst of the chaos, I took charge. The Martinez Gang needed to be informed, and swiftly. The call went out, alerting them to the situation. They were our allies, and in times of crisi
