Still keeping his gun pointed at the mysterious guy's head, Jake raised his head to stare at the people pointing their guns at his son. "On a serious note, Jake judging by their expression, these people would not hesitate to pull the trigger" Max whispered to him."Yeah, I know" he muttered and pulled the gun from his head, he dropped it beside him and stood up. "This is one of the reasons why I hate to have bonds with people, they can be used to get you, and this is a very huge weakness, by the way, my name is Fred, not like it would do you any good in the first place," he said, rising to his feet, he dusts off the dirt on his body. A deep sigh escaped his lips before he turned back to face Jake, "You, my friend need to cut off your bond with the people you have it with or eliminate them before you can be able to guard what you think belongs to you" said, walking away from him. Jake stared at his back, the words he had just said were slowly sinking into his head. "Now, let me gi

There was a knock on the door causing the both of them to turn and face the direction, suddenly, a question surfacing on Jake’s mind. Who might that be? He isn’t expecting anyone today, not like he has any schedule, or did he have one that he might have forgotten?“Come in,” he said. The door was pushed open and his secretary walked in, she was clad in a white shirt and a tight black skirt that stopped at her mid-thigh, “Good day sir, I came to remind you of the meeting that you have with Mr. Sergio" she said, much to the surprise of Jake who did not know of this. "Meeting with Mr. Sergio?" Jake asked with a confused tone, racking his brain to come up with when he had made such a decision but he could not remember. "Yes sir, it was scheduled on the last time you came to the office. I had alerted you of his desire to see you and you told him to set up a meeting with you any day that would be to his convenience and I should let you know of the day immediately after he lets me know" s

Immediately after Mr. George had left his office, he picked up his coat, slipping his hands inside them. He walked out of his office, turning to his secretary who was in front of his office, "I am heading out, cancel any other things that I am supposed to have for the rest of the day" he said to her. "Ok, sir" She nodded her head in compliance and went to work immediately. He walked to the elevators, he had a calm and gentle expression on his face.He took a look at the time on his wristwatch, he had promised his son he would come pick him up from school, it seemed he still had at least thirty minutes before they closed for the day. He had planned to use that opportunity to take a detour and get food from a nearby restaurant before reaching his school, so he wouldn't have to wait much before they closed. He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out his key fob, pressing a button on it that made his car beep, the door making an unlocking sound. He caught sight of a figure l

"How do you plan on handling the superiors?" Max asked, watching the detective walk away."Blackmailing" he replied, slipping his hand back into his pocket. "There is one thing, that I need to be very sure about, Max" "Now you are scaring me with that serious tone that you are using" Max replied. "You will be by my side, no matter what, right?" he asked, turning to face him with a blank expression on his face. "Have I ever given you any reason to question my loyalty?" Max asked, wondering what had prompted him to ask that question. "No, but I am still asking this question because I might do crazy things to get those motherfuckers, that is the only way I can think of" "You don't have to worry, you will have me by your side always" Max replied, his voice filled with conviction. "Ok, that is great to hear then," Jake said, tapping him on his arm with a wide smile on his face. "It is almost time for a new day, it would be best if we go home now," Jake said, walking forward. "The n

“Charlotte, to what do I owe the pleasure of you visiting me now?” the chief of police asked with a nervous chuckle escaping his lips, he relaxed back on the chair he was seated on, pulling on the strands of beards. "I only hope it is not what I am thinking though.“Oh, it’s nothing much, just a slight favor that I have to ask you,” she said, walking towards him inside the VIP room inside the club where she had agreed to meet him. She had chosen that location only because there was no way anyone would think that the reason for her entering that place was to see the chief of police, after all, it is a place meant for the rich people in the city.“A… a slight favor, it is very rare for you to ask of it, is it perhaps your father that had sent you to me today?” he asked nervously.“No,” she watched him breathe a sigh of relief and relax properly on the chair he was seated on, he looked more relaxed than he did, a couple of seconds before she gave him her answer. “Ok, then what brought
