“SOS.” Dragon alerted the rest of the vile crew of rogues as Aaron could hear the scraping sounds of metals and the hasty movements of those enclosed with him in the confined space that had become his hell. Aaron could feel himself being lifted from the wooden chair, his stiff behind sent him moaning in sheer pain as he got dragged out of only God knew where.“Count your blessings, but never forget, we will certainly meet again.” And with that, Aaron yelped in pain with the law of gravity set in motion, he could feel himself fly out of the car and land on a granite and coarse surface. The blaring sound of cars and honks did not help his current blindfolded situation. “Get the fuck out of the road!” He heard a man curse out.“Wait, isn't that Aaron Churchill?” Murmurs and gasps flew around him. Aaron weakened to the knees and struggled to stand on his two feet but to no avail. Helped by probably a good Samaritan, he was eased of the darkness accorded to him by his persecutors. His

The metallic taste of the sedative distorted Aaron's taste buds. The hysteric and concerned look on Helen's face, clouded his vision as he slowly opened his eyes to the sleeping figure of Helen, lying beside him, their hands loosely intertwined. “Sir.” Andrew made himself known to Aaron, who had no intention to wake Helen from her slumber. “Shh” he made a gesture with his finger to shut Andrew from further speaking.Helen awoke, to Aaron staring at her with an intensity she knew so well. The heat in his gaze, consumed her whole unorthodoxly. “You're awake?” She brushed her feelings aside as she lightly grazed his forehead with her palm. “Do I call the doctor?” She asked herself and without waiting for Aaron's response made to leave the ward.“There won't be a need for a doctor, all I need right now is you.” Aaron's words did the trick, as Helen returned to her side on the bed. The tiny bed could barely host his build, but he did not mind making enough room for Helen. She completed him

Things were not as they were again, Aaron could feel it down to his bones. The news of Henry Neville out of prison came as a shock to him, but he quickly got over it. The man possessed quite an amount of power that superseded that of any other conglomerate business empire and personality."I'm coming with you to work." Helen stood on her ground, fully dressed in a finely pleated suit, she prepared herself, ready to head out with him to work. Aaron did not have the final say on this, she had already made up her mind. "I have tons of upgraded bodyguards, there is nothing for you to worry about." Aaron tried convincing her to hold her horses but to no avail.Helen was yet to disclose all that had happened in his absence. First on the list, was his wacko ex-wife, who in all sincerity, caused Helen to shiver in anxious anticipation of her next move. One step at a time, she told herself. Aaron might appear to put up a tough front, but she feared the incident had shaken him up a bit. "I tho

Suarez arrived a few minutes later. One would think he lurked around the building, waiting to be beckoned upon. Aaron pretended to be engrossed with some work on his system, as he typed away until Suarez settled in. “Listen to this.” No need for the fake pleasantries, Aaron wanted to have a face-to-face confrontation with Dragon and see how gruesome and oppressive he appeared to be in person. The voice record, played out, while Suarez listened to it, with rapt attention.“Can the FBI work with this?” Aaron inquired from Suarez, who tried to decipher the voice on the other end. The voice sounded familiar, although he could not place his hand on the occupant of such a gruff voice, but it, indeed, held great familiarity. “It will be a thirty to forty percent possibility, but the IT section can put in the work.” Suarez assured Aaron. With a close look at Aaron, Suarez could tell he was exhausted. “Everything will be fine, Mr. Churchill.”Or would they be? Nothing seemed right, Henry Nevil

Trust is an unbreakable bond that runs deep like the bond shared by the family. In this story my friends had taken a turn for the worse and, according to my favorite opinion, had no detour back to normalcy. “ What did he say?” Helen inquired from Aaron the moment Henry was out of sight and hearing distance. Aaron could tell that their feelings, towards the sudden repentance of Henry, remained mutual. “You don't believe in his abrupt change in character, do you?” He asked Helen the obvious, and she answered with a sharp nod.“Neither do I trust your bodyguard.” Her eyes shot lasers toward Lucas's direction. Aaron had underestimated Lucas and here he stood, gallantly, and in a position to feed him to the den of lions. “Neither do I,” Aaron replied. He had a casual meet-off with Suarez, he and the detective were bonding up. “Do you have plans for the evening?” He would rather not be left alone to sulk, a taste of Helen on the side would do him some good. Let's not forget the mind-blowing
