James purposely lost the first hand of cards, just so he could deceive the Mexican into staking higher bets. As soon as he was certain he had boosted the ego of the buffy, gruff, looking man, he decided it was time to play real cards."I'll stake five hundred thousand dollars." James said to the man. By now Pedro's expression was woeful and full of fear, he thought perhaps this was James' way of getting back at his grandfather for dragging him out against his will.Meanwhile, Mr. Gregory Johnson's expression remained neutral and pacified."I like your kind of man. You have great faith and a strong resolution in your inability." The Mexican said to James.A coy smile flashed over James' lips as he stared at him. "What's your stake? And please, by all means, don't feel intimidated by me, I may not even win. If I do, it would just be a great faith at play " James said.The Mexican watched him apprehensively for a moment and began to laugh."Sure, I stake one million dollars, and my gold

Sarah was surprised to look up and find the man she had been searching everywhere for, holding her by her wrist.Although he had not been wearing the same mask anymore, because he had found a stray mask lying around and picked it up, in exchange for his.James pulled her up and held her in his arms."You! Don't...""Not the time, we need to go now." He said to her in urgency. Turning to notice the men with guns entering the building, Sarah nodded and followed him.James took a different route through the kitchen and broke out in a quiet, empty place outside, which was meant to be the back of the kitchen. He motioned to Sarah to be quiet, as he knew that the men would have surrounded the building in search of him."What is it?" Sarah asked in a hushed tone."We need to scout the area and be certain that nobody is in sight before we leave. Follow me closely and when I give you the signal, make sure you run without looking back." James urged her."Okay" Sarah nodded. This was crazy! She

Sarah got down from her car, and walked into the restaurant which she usually had lunch in during work hours. "Welcome Ma," the waiter said to her."Hello, how are you? I would like to have your pork chops and stew please. Add some chips to it, okay?" She said to the waiter and he nodded."Alright Ma, whar kind of wine would you like?" He asked."White, no cherries please " she smiled. The waiter understood her other because she was a regular. He equally smiled at her and nodded his understanding.Few minutes later, he returned with her order, rolling it in a moving table, along with the bottle of white and a glass.While he was pouring the wine in, a man passed by her, and then, suddenly, he paused and turned back and retraced his step, bringing them to a stop beside her table.Sarah looked up from her meal, and gazed at the somewhat famiar face that she just couldn't place a finger on."Sarah Brown?" He asked her with a handsome smirk."Yeahhhh. I'm Sorry, am I supposed to also kno

James watched the news that morning, which spoke of the school bus which had been hijacked, and the students who had gone missing. That was after he had received that morning from his source."Damien, how are you? What's new?" James asked him."Miss Sarah was spotted with a new friend. I ran a background check on him. His name is Williams Smith, Six feet tall, and the son of Billionaire, Travis Smith. They are mining in the area, and have a water rigging system being built around the city." Damien replied.Damien was the man James left on charge of watching Sarah for him. It was the only way he knew she would be safe, and nothing could happen to her without his knowledge."They sound decent," James said."Yeah, they do sound decent. Except, they are not all that. They are currently wanted in three countries as we speak." Damien replied."The entire family?" James asked."Yes, but, Will has personally been suspected to dabble in shady businesses under an alias no one is certain of yet.

"Good morning Miss Sarah Brown," the butler in the Brown family House greeted her as she walked into the house. Her Father had invited her over for breakfast, and a discussion over some business deals."Hello Father," Sarah said, kissing his head. She took a seat at the left of the table, beside him."How was your night? he asked her and she smiled at him in response."It was splendid." She replied."Need I remind you how much I miss having you around the house? I have told you severally, you are always welcome back home you know? Since that good for nothing Johnson's character chose to suddenly disappear without a trace..."The maid interrupted him, by walking into the room and placing an empty china plate in front of him and Sarah, before picking up the warmers which contained food, and dished out one scoop of white rice onto his plate.Followed by the beef and chicken caserol that had been prepared."Guess someone ordered a hearty breakfast," Sarah said, eyeing him closely."Well,
