“Not that kind of past, Bro, but I’m glad you approve. And have you talked to The Chief?” “Yeah, and I was surprised that he wanted in so fast that he was the epitome of Superman’s tagline of ‘faster than a speeding bullet’... You really have to tell me his story someday.” “I will, but not right now, since I’m sure my new bodyguard/assistant, along with his sidekicks, will all be here shortly and though I surely want to introduce you so you can clear my name to him, I don’t think it’s the right time for that… yet.” “Huh? So, you know who the governor is sending over?” “I have a very good idea of who it is, but I think it’s perfect that Ed would choose him. As a matter of fact, I was counting on it. I guess now, I’m going to find out soon enough…” +++ “So, Nick…” the Governor was saying at that moment as he had another slice of his beloved carrot cake for breakfast. “I finally decided that it would be you who will be guarding and assisting The Ogre for the duration of his hospital

Meanwhile, Eros was so shocked at how she was reacting, and at the last moment was very regretful of all he had said to her that it took him a while to get to his feet and start to run after her.Don’t fucking wolf speed! he screamed to himself internally as he started to gain on her. You shouldn’t give yourself away. Not now… Or fucking not ever!As Diwa pulled the screen door open that was shielding the still-open front door, she speeded through both doorways letting gravity and inertia close both of the doors behind her. And yes, natural physics did the work, fortunately for her.Unfortunately for Eron though because he collided with the screen door first and broke it in half while small bits of metal wires entered his mouth and nostrils almost blinding his eyes as well. Inertia and gravity also propelled him forward, after destroying the screen door, his forehead hit the Villa’s solid mahogany door, leaving a hairline crack that was about a foot long. “Fucking heck... OWWW!”We

“I get yah, sonny. So sorry I wasn’t able to help you and your sisters back then while I was still working in the city. But now that I’m retired, I’m glad that I’ll be able to help you guys now. Well, at least with bringing in renters to your place who I can assure you will love the cabin as much as you and your family Did. We promise we’ll take good care of her.”Orlando nodded, then suddenly spoke up as he and his uncle passed one of the closed doors inside the orphan’s home, “Speaking of which, Uncle Jerome, we’re still having a hard time… Packing up my parents’ stuff so we could bring them with us…”“I wouldn’t be blaming you. I remember seeing how close you kids were to your parents…” “Yes, so if it’s ok with you, do you think you can help us out by doing it for us? The boxes are already in one of the bedrooms, and we don’t know which of you and your friends are gonna stay there. But it would really mean a lot to us if it was you who could pack their stuff since I did find out f

“And what if you guys get into bigger trouble because Max makes a big deal out of this?”“If you have all the papers to prove your skill and competence, I don’t think Max will be a problem. Even if he brings his complaints to the Labor Department. Besides, he’s still the primary suspect in the recent accident that almost put Diwana and me in the hospital. If not for your presence of mind and quick save, I wouldn’t even know what would’ve happened then, bro.”“It’s my pleasure and I really don’t want to cause that much trouble for you or your business, bro,” sighed Eron as he put the brush and tray with the other tools that Jack had placed in the corner.“Bro, if there's anyone who has caused so much trouble for me and my family’s business, it isn’t you. Take my word for it. So, are you done?”“Yeah, I think that’s about it. What do you think?”Jack then took out his mobile and took a shot at the new screen door. Its very recent coat of varnish still needed to dry out, but as it was, i

There were two men in the hospital room where a nurse had just entered. She had a bad day and a no-nonsense attitude which was quite evident to the patient who was lying on the bed. Unfortunately for the other male, who was sitting beside the bed and reading a magazine, he was quite taken by the nurse’s looks and figure that he wasn’t able to tell that she was actually quite pissed and a bit unapproachable.“It’s time for your x-rays, Sir.”“Oh good, I was wondering when that would be.”“Ok, so I’ll be going with him…” cut in the sitting man with a smile.“Oh no, Sir. We aren’t allowed to let anyone be with the patient during this time. It’s hospital regulations.”“But…”“You can just wait for him here. I promise you, he will be back within a few hours.”“A few hours? It’s really going to take that long, nurse?”“Considering the magnitude of the damage done to him, yes, it will take that long, Sir.”“Don’t worry, Nick. I doubt that in the state that I’m currently in I would be able t
