Torstein frowned with a deadly expression of concern. He was upset with the way Alan humiliated him just as the others were.“If we let the door open, we are going to be allowing them to arrest us if they somehow know that we are ex-convicts. Also, what is the guarantee that Alan hasn't already escaped? We could lose on both sides,” Palacious responded.“But why won't they believe us - we might be ex-convicts but we are the ones who have been hard done by in this situation,” Torstein whispered.Palacios’ eyes darted with a deadly tension of distress. “What happens when these men begin to testify against us? They saw everything that happened and we threatened some of them. I’m sure they can't wait to reveal us to the police.”“What do you suggest we do then?” Torstein asked. “It's not like we have much of an option.”Torsten was right - there wasn't much of an option for them and they were in a race against time. The cops were already using very huge instruments to cut through the iron

***Meanwhile, Alan landed on the thick bush which formed a dense wall of green, its foliage blocking out the sky. The path before Alan was an endless tangle of roots. The trees were a wall of green, standing tall and the branches and vines twisting and tangling around them.Alan wondered the extent of trouble that he had gotten himself into. It was always going to be difficult to navigate his way past the swamps and thick trees. He began to wonder if he had not made a mistake by escaping the gym center. Perhaps he should have just allowed the cops to arrest him as well and then he would later clear his name.He thought that he would be able to find his way to the office when he came down into the bush but he had been walking around for almost 10 minutes and it seemed like he had not even made any progress. It was like he was running in circles and there was no improvement. There was no route of escape.He would have been doing something much more productive than wandering in a thick

Anyway, he wasn't going to worry too much about it, he thought. Maybe it was a glitch that was going to correct itself soon.He was trying to find a better spot on top of the tree where he was going to get a better view but he heard a faint rustle.What was that? He asked himself.Damn!His phone slipped out of his pocket as he watched in slow-motion horror. His face fell and his heart sank into his stomach at the realization of the fact that the cops would have been aware of it. He began cursing under his breath until the doom that he expected crawled closer.“Commanding Officer Felicia!” one of the cops yelled out. “Here is something we have found. There is a phone which fell up from this tree. I saw it clearly.”Officer Felicia, the team leader of the operation, rushed toward the spot where there was an alarm.“Oh my! He is hiding in the midst of one of these trees,” Officer Felicia spoke.She adjusted and tuned her gaze upward, examining the top of the tree with an eagle-eyed prec

“You should focus on the real issue here. The three men you arrested are criminals. They have just returned from prison a few months ago but it appears that they want to strengthen their force.”“The more you focus on me, the more you lose sight of something that shouldn’t be let loose. I am not the problem here. I own a whole consortium. I could make a phone call now and this place would be brimming with tons of lawyers who would be willing to defend me with their last breaths. I am—-”“Keep shut!” Andreas snarled, his voice was a cold and cutting growl. “How dare you tell us where to focus on? Are you our commander to give us instructions? Look let me tell you, there are lines that I will never accept that you cross. There are things that I would never accept that you say. You dare not speak to us like that ever again or else I will make sure that I cut your tongue and wrap it around your neck.”There was so much anger in Andreas’ voice as his eyes narrowed in a cold fury. He nudged

His brain stumbled into remembrance when he recalled that Harrison was one of his staff members in one of his main companies.When Greyson Consortium’s assets were unfrozen by the court and their companies were given a fresh license to operate, there was a scheme undertaken by Alan Greyson where he removed several employees from his companies.Alan, after being given control of operations involving the Greyson consortium, decided that he was only going to have the best workers available to him.At that time, he recalled that the last time the consortium was in operation, some employees were on the blacklist of the company. They had fallen short of the requirements of the company in terms of ethics and hard work.On Harrison’s part, his offense was that he was caught advertising and selling other company’s products in an attempt to make money. The board of directors in the company saw that Harrison wanted to use it as a plan to woo some employees and even customers away from the compan
