Security Conscious
Kelvin got out of the car and slammed the door, while Jason continued to look at him until he went back into the building. He sighed heavily, and then he turned on the ignition of the car and drove off, increasing the speed of the vehicle after each minute. Luckily, the distance from the place where he met Kelvin and back to the villa was not much, and in less than a minute, he was in front of the building where he parked the car, and got down almost immediately. When he got down, he looked toward the entrance of the building, and apart from the guards who were standing at strategic points outside the house, Harry also stood directly in front of the entrance to the building, and it looked like he was waiting for someone. “Young Master, I was surprised when I was told that you went out,” Harry said while Jason was still walking toward him with a plain countenance. “Oh, yes. I had to deal with something real quick.” Jason said a few seconds later after he stood a few inches aw

Mute
As soon as Jason got out of the car, he scoured through the ambiance of the area, and he could see that some changes had been made. The grasses that were sprouting from several parts of the floor were out, and all the things littered all over the place had been taken off. Jason nodded in satisfaction, and then he turned his eyes to the building. He saw that it had been repainted, and a few other touches and nice additions had been made to it. “Lovely, really lovely.” He said with a whisper, admiring the flowers in huge vases that were positioned at several corners in front of the building. A few seconds later, he looked to his right as soon as he sensed that someone was approaching. “What do you think about it, Young Master?” Harry asked as soon as he stood in front of him, and waited to hear what he was going to say. Jason turned to look at the building again, and then he sighed heavily with a smile on his face, just before he returned his gaze to Harry. “I love it, you d

Right-hand Man
As soon as he said those words, Jason turned to look at Harry was seemed very impatient and pissed off at the fact that the men had refused to speak. “Well, Harry. What do you think?” Jason asked with a calm tone. “I think they need some motivation, and I can arrange for that,” Harry responded, and then he glared his eyes at the men, looking at them one after the other. “Very well then. I think we should get right to it.” Jason said with a smirk on his face, and without waiting for even a second, Harry grabbed the man by the left by his collar and punched him hard in the face. “Ahh! My nose! You broke my nose!” The man whimpered and attempted to hold his nose, but Harry gave him a heavy slap that sent him sprawling to the ground. Jason widened his eyes in surprise, and couldn’t believe that Harry did that. He thought he was going to ask one of the bodyguards to torture the men, but clearly, he had it all covered. Kai looked down to see his partner on the floor whimpering a

Study-Room
The ride home was shorter than when they were on their way to their last location, and as soon as they arrived back at the villa, Jason got out of the car without waiting for the guard to open the door for him. He stared at the tall mansion for a few seconds, and then he sighed heavily before he turned to look at the car Harry had gotten into while they were returning to the Villa. Realizing that he was waiting for him, Harry quickly walked up to Jason and stood a few inches away from him. “Harry? What do you think?” Jason said without turning to look at him, while his eyes remained on the mansion. “I think you should get some rest tonight, Young Master. You really have had a stressful day.” Jason turned to look at Harry, and then he chuckled at his words, but Harry didn’t seem like he was joking as he maintained a face lacking any form of expression. “I get it, okay? But this is very important, and you know it. This…this Mr. D? I just want to know who he is.” “And you w

Abducted
Jason looked around the room and the first thing that caught his attention was the picture of his parents hanging on the wall at the right corner of the room. He quickly moved closer to it and looked at it for over a minute. His parents were very much younger when they took the picture, and he could see the striking resemblance between him and his father, he looked like it was he who took the picture with another lady. “Beautiful eyes.” He said with a whisper, and then he touched the picture and sighed heavily without taking his eyes away from it. When he was satisfied, he turned away slowly and looked at the rest of the corners of the room. In front of him was a shelf filled with so many books, and he couldn’t help but move toward it to see the books inside it. He grabbed one of the books that drew his attention, and then he blew on it to take off the dust that was all over it. He remembered how he loved reading books and had to stop after he got married to Isabella and his

Meticulous
Jason was woken up the next morning by the thoughts that lingered in his mind. It was very early, and only the birds were awake by that time, but he was already up, and thinking about all the situations surrounding him. For about an hour, he didn’t know which one of them he was to be focused on, and he quickly went into the bathroom to wash his face after brushing his teeth. He got out as soon as he was done and sat in the chair next to the desk by the corner of the bedroom after he had picked up his phone from the cabinet. “What do I do now?” He said as though he was asking some other person in the room, but his mind remained empty for a while. He continued thinking for a while, and when he eventually had an idea that he really wasn't sure of, he picked up his phone and called the Doctor. “I hope this works, I hope it does.” He whispered to himself while he waited for the Doctor to take his call. “Hello, Mr. Caryso! I was just about to call you!” “Hello, Doctor. Good mo

Convergence
James wondered why Jason decided that they wait outside the building, but he couldn’t ask any questions. First, the surroundings were strange, there was nobody around, and there was just one building at the end of the lonely road. A few seconds after they got to the location, Jason stared at the building, and memories of the past flooded into his mind. The building used to be his foster home until it was partly destroyed by flood, and no one cared to fix it. The children were forced to sleep on one side of the building, while they prayed for a miracle. Jason could remember all the ill-treatment he got from the people in the foster home and even some of the children who bullied him. He suffered greatly until he was lucky enough to have been adopted by a young couple who couldn’t have children, even though his happiness didn’t last for so long. After about five minutes of getting to the location, Jason saw someone walking toward the building from the other side of the road, and he

Conditional
“Alright, Kelvin. I see that you look really confused. Why don’t you grab a seat?” Jason pointed to the chair beside him, and Kelvin pulled it to himself after a few seconds of observing the environment. “Here, take this.” Melvin handed the tablecloth over to Kelvin who took it at once and nodded in appreciation before he wiped his chair with it. When he was done, he dropped the tablecloth on the floor and sat down slowly. “I am sorry that you had to come to this kind of place, but this is the only secure place I could think about under such short notice,” Jason said as soon as Kelvin was seated, and then he took in a deep breath which he let out slowly before he continued. “Gentlemen. Welcome to this meeting, I know there are a lot of questions on your mind right now, but I will make sure that they are all answered, all of them.” Jason began to speak to the men seated with him, while they had their eyes on him, still wondering what his plans were. Jason paused for a few secon

The Location
As soon as he heard those words from Isabella from the other side of the line, Melbon tried to speak, but he lacked the right words to say, and he looked at Jason, suddenly feeling very uneasy. “Your family. You wanna see your family.” Jason mouthed to him and with a hand gesture, urged him to go ahead. Melvin took in a deep breath which he let out slowly, and then he remained silent for a while, trying to catch his breath. “Are you going to speak or not? I don’t have all day.” “Yes! Yes! Wait! I will talk!” Melvin sighed heavily, and then he cleared his throat twice, while the other men in the hall focused all their attention on him. “I want to speak to my family, I wanna speak to my wife and kids.” For a few seconds, Isabella was silent, and Jason crossed his fingers, hoping that she was going to budge, and not ask too many questions. The silence lingered for a while, and the men almost thought that she was out or that the call had ended. “Hello?” Melvin said with a

Rescued
At once, the attention of everyone in the room went to the phone, as it continued to ring. As soon as Melvin confirmed that it was Isabella who was calling, he lifted his face to look at Jason with a little tension in his body.“It’s her. She is the one calling.” “Kelvin? Are you ready?” Jason turned to look at Kelvin who nodded at once before he turned to look at the screen of his laptop, ready to begin his work. Jason cleared his throat at once, and then he turned to look at Melvin who was waiting to hear what he was going to say. “Go ahead, take the call. But remember to be cool, don’t make her get suspicious, we can’t risk this chance. It’s now or never.” “Got it.” Melvin nodded, and then he dragged the green icon on the screen of the phone and answered the call. “Hello? Miss Palmer?” Kelvin said with a voice a little above a whisper, but he was only met with a few seconds of silence. He looked at Jason, but he gestured to him to remain calm so that he wouldn’t give h
