Aubrey pointed at the door weakly and moved her hand again, she couldn't speak, but her eyes were filled with fury and Grandpa turned, she had many things to say to Henry and none of them were nice. She wanted to scream, but had to swallow it. “ What are you doing here, son? I thought you've been warned not to come here. Do you care so little about your life?” “ No, sir. I was in the neighborhood, so I decided to pop in.” Henry lied. He wanted to see how she was faring. His conscience ate him up when he thought of what wouldn't have happened if he made up his mind very early.“ I apologise for causing you pain.” He apologized. Aubrey looked a mess, she couldn't even lift her jaw because of the latest surgery that was conducted. Gone was the prim and proper woman, it was replaced by a woman who was a shadow of herself. “ I'm sorry that you had to go through this by associating with me.” He apologized again. Although, no one knew that stuff like this could happen. “Your life will no

“ Tell us what?” Henry replied, his heart already raving, different possibilities filled his head as to why Derek could be behaving this way. “My father is dead,” Derek said in a dejected tone. Henry felt chills all over his body after the announcement. “ Tell me you are joking!” He exclaimed and shook his head when he saw the forlorn look on Derek's face. This was not a joking matter. “ How did it happen? You said that it was a nick in his leg and that he was returning home soon, tomorrow, right?” He looked toward Douglas. “ You knew already?” He asked when he didn't see astonishment on his face. “ We were together throughout…" Henry trailed off. Not once did he see Douglas press his phone. “I think you are a high-profile target, thus making everyone around you unsafe.” Derek said with a serious tone.“ So, what will happen now?” Henry asked, watching a look cross their faces. “ Do you want me to move out?” He helped them out when they refused to speak.“ No, we just have to be

“ That man is one of the most dangerous terrorists alive. They have a caucus.” Caine said when he arrived at Pops' office the next morning. “ So, what do we do? Who could have contracted him?” “ That I don't know. These people have a way of doing things. It must be a well-connected person. Do you know anyone who would fit this profile?” Caine inquired. Pops shook his head," No, I can't think of anyone right now?”Caine brought out a book," His threats are valid. He'll follow through with them, so I'll only watch from the sidelines.” He said. He had a family who still needed him to be alive. If it were a lease criminal, he would have damned the consequences to follow up on this case. “ So, I'm on my own henceforth?” Pops asked. Caine was one of the best detectives in the country, so if he was behaving this way, that shows how complicated this case was. “ Yes and no, watching from the sidelines means that I would not be actively involved in this case, but I have a partner who is mo

Clara looked around in fear. Did he know that she was around? It couldn't be a coincidence that she received the call shortly after speaking to Pops. It wasn't as if they said anything triggering or that gave away their plans, but she was sure that she was being monitored. Gripped by fear, she forwarded the strange number to Daniel and Caine. She had them on speed dial now. “ This number called me a few minutes ago, but didn't say anything.” Their replies came in immediately, “I'll look into it.” “Okay.” She texted them back and went to lie on the bed. She who was tried found it difficult to sleep. Her eyes were wide open as if she closed them for a minute, she would die, and after a while she began to yawn loudly. Clara decided to make good use of her time, so she brought out a laptop and began to play some songs on her phone while she tried to access her work suite. She was disappointed to find out that she was logged out. “ Good grief.” She muttered as she rubbed a palm across

A car pulled up in front of a huge building and Clara's phone began to beep loudly. The Uber driver peeped from the driver's seat, and Clara stared him in the eye as she fished her purse for her phone. “ Hello.” “ A man will meet you at the entrance, his name is Israel, and he'll give you a pass.” He said," Endeavour that your mask I always on.” He reminded her," Act normally. He knows that you will be present” He added. “ I will be monitoring thoroughly, you have nothing to fear.” He said. That did nothing to quell the fear that welled up inside of her. She paid the driver and alighted from the car. Gathering her skirt in her hands, she proceeded to the" Okay.” She replied as she walked into the large hotel. As described, a male official was waiting at the entrance as she walked toward him. As soon as he saw her, he nodded subtly, and she pretended as though she didn't see him. When she got to the door, he smiled," Good evening, ma'am. May I see your pass?” He asked, and she sh
