Shit! How could she forget such an important thing? She had just left evidence of her offense right inside the office. There weren’t many people around and everyone seemed to have either left their places of duty or were stuck to their desk doing extra work. It might be a smooth operation if she went back. Should she go back to pick it up? She asked herself.The gun being there was going to leave a trace.She heaved a sigh of rejection of the idea. She wouldn’t go back, she reasoned. What if she went back and someone caught her? That would be disastrous. She had the antidote in her hand and she managed not to kill Doctor Lopez so that was some progress at least, she thought.The gun was not hers and she would have some exolainatuin to do to Arianna but she would also need to explain some things to her. Now, that she thought about it, Arianna probably made sure that there was no bullet in the gun and lied to her, taking advantage of her ignorance and inexperience in such issues.Perhap

Fists were flying between Paul and the Kazitanis agents in the tight space of the front seat as Paul tried to gain control of the situation. He was at a disadvantage in terms of the number but the suddenness at which he adopted in attacking Hoestes and Zilinzky was giving him an edge.The truck soon careened out of control as Hoestes who was driving couldn't take control of the stirring wheel anymore. At that point, he didn't mind if the vehicle was going to skid off the road.Hoestes, whose hands couldn't move the stirring anymore was pressing the brakes of the vehicle repeatedly, stamping on it with such force because he knew that if he didn't do that, they could land somewhere that would be very devastating.The truck wobbled to the side with a wobbling movement, its tires spinning as the truck tethered on the brink of control. The truck swayed from side to side across the dirt as it fought for stability, Hoestes repeatedly pressing the brake to ensure that there was no loss of con

Zilinzky’s hands slide over Hoestes’ neck as he desperately sought a sign of life. He moved his hands frantically searching for the exact spot as his lips moved in a pleading manner.But there was nothing - no sign of life. Hoestes had finally given up the ghost.Zilinzky’s face was contorted with a tortured grimace of pain and a scowl of agony into the air.His eyes were bulging with a tortured squint of terror because not only did his death mean that the chances of recovering the second truck reduced but he would now have to be forced to explain to the receivers about what happened to Boarus and Upalima.Hoestes shot Boarus and Upalima because they were constituting a nuisance and waste of time but it was Hoestes who was the best person to explain what he had done to them. The Kazitanis always made sure that every one of their agents gave constant reports and if Boarus and Upalima were not going to give the report, Hoestes was the best person to do it but now he had to take it upon

He knew that they were definitely going to humiliate him if they caught him. He was their greatest enemy and catching him meant that they would have a feast of celebration.He took a good view of the agents from the tight spot where he was hiding between the truck tires and found out that the agents that were sent this time were ones that he had never seen before. One of the agents spoke in a loud voice, his tone tinged with ridicule and a sarcastic sneer. “Or am I not right, Paul Leonard? You are here, aren't you? Why don't you show your face? Or are you going to keep hiding like a scared little child?”The agent spoke, trying to provoke Paul into making the mistake of revealing himself. The three men who were sent by the Kazitanis were much higher in rank than the ones that they sent for the first truck.One of the men alone had completed many operations and killed many people. They were also heavily armed with guns, knives, and even grenades.The agent’s voice was laced with sarca

Rosette had lost hope. She lowered her head in dejection because she saw how insistent the men were. They had been very clear that they were not going to release her until they made progress with getting the trucks across the border.Koffi then lessened his aggressiveness, his muscles releasing their effort as he brought out candy from his pocket. “Here, take this candy. You can have this for then a in time until we get more information as to what to do with you.”Rosette immediately latched on to the candy that was thrown toward her as she quickly used her teeth to devour it even though her limbs were tied.Vanessa, Koffi, and Djene maintained a rigid discipline, their expressions impassive as they tried to control their impatience.Their eyes were focused and their minds alert as they waited for orders and new instructions as to whether they could free Rosette and return to base but Vanessa was already thinking that the delay could only mean that there were some complications in the
