Tricia
That same afternoon, Jason was seated in the living room with Kelvin, and after they were done with the main reason he was there, a thought crept into Jason’s mind, and he decided to follow it up at once. “Young Master? I think that’s all for now. Everything you need is here, and I will keep a close eye on the rest.” Kelvin handed over a flash drive to Jason who held onto it carefully. “Thank you, Kelvin. One more thing…” Jason grabbed his phone from his pocket, and clicked on the hidden number that had been calling him. “Someone has been calling me with a hidden number for a while now, and I want to know who the caller is. Can you do something about this?” He showed the screen of the phone to Kelvin who looked at it closely. “May I?”“Yeah, sure! You can have it.” Jason handed over the phone to Kelvin who plugged it into his laptop and began to do his work at once while he watched with keen interest. “I just need to find the IP address on the phone, let’s just hope that t

It’s a Trap!
While they ate quietly, Tricia couldn’t stop staring at Jason who constantly tried to avoid having any eye contact with her. Her eye gestures and her smile were a bit awkward, and she didn’t mind gawking at him while holding onto her cutleries. “Jay? Are you okay?” Brenda broke the silence in the hall, realizing that Jason had suddenly stopped eating while he bent his face to the table. Tricia stopped looking at him as soon as she saw that Brenda was turning to look at her. “I am fine.” “Don’t you like the food?”“Of course, I do! Annie is a wonderful chef!”“Then what’s the problem? You were enjoying the food a while ago.” “I am fine, maybe I just need some water.” Jason attempted to grab the the jug of water in front of him, but Brenda grabbed it before him because it was closer to him. “Let me help you.” Brenda poured some water into Jason’s glass and handed it over to him. “Thank you.” Jason said calmly after returning the glass to her. “Are you okay, now?”“Yeah.

Three days to go
With his mind still unrest, Jason paced around the living room from one corner to the other. He had just gotten off the phone with James who assured him that everything was going well in the hospital, but he still wasn’t comfortable with the fact that Brenda had gone to work after everything he told her. Later on, Tricia joined him in the living room, and it was as if she was looking for another opportunity to get closer to him. “Mr. Walker? You seem disturbed. Do you care to share what the problem could be?” She said as she catwalked toward him, making sure that he noticed her with the sound of her heels clanking on the marble tiles. “I am fine, Tricia. It’s nothing.” Jason looked away from him at once, avoiding eye contact no matter how hard she tried to get him to look at her. “It doesn’t look like it’s nothing, Mr. Walker. Just know that you can talk to me, whatever it is I am here for you. Is my friend stressing you? I wouldn’t be shocked if that was the case. Brenda does

Shot
Amidst the panic that crept into Jason’s nerves, he tried to remain calm, but it didn’t seem like the words he heard from Brenda were going to let him. “Brenda? Are you there? What’s going on? Where is James?” He waited, but there was no response. “Hello? Can you hear me? Babe?” He looked at the screen of the phone, and that was when he realized that the call had dropped. “Young Master? What's happening?” “We need to go to the hospital, Harry! Now!” Jason stormed out of the house, and Harry followed him at once, gesturing to the two guards standing by the corner of the building who followed them into the car at once.“Drive! Be fast about it!” Jason ordered at once while he continued dialing Brenda’s number, but she wasn’t answering. “Why isn’t she taking her calls? She should take her calls!” Jason grunted loudly, trying to reach Brenda for the umpteenth time. “Maybe you should call James, Young Master. He should be in the position to say what’s going on.” Harry suggeste

Stick around
It was a long period of wait for everyone, laced with a lot of tension and silence. Brenda seemed more frightened than the rest of them, pacing from one end the the other while she struggled with her breath and tromping heartbeat. “Do you need that cleaned?” Asked one of the nurses from her hospital, and she shook her head, indicating that she was more concerned about James than the blood all over her. Seeing that she was not going to stop moving around in worry, Jason was forced to get up from the seat where he sat with Harry who also had his eyes on her. He walked up to her gently and grabbed her shoulders from the back. She was startled, turning abruptly to look at him with her eyes wide open. Everything seemed to be giving her anxiety. “It’s okay! It’s me! It’s just me, okay?” Jason lifted his hands until he was sure that she was calm before he gently pulled her closer to himself with a smile on his face. “You should come take a seat, Brenda. Pacing around will do you no

Country Home
Clad in a black suit, Jason got ready for his meeting with Dalton and Stiles. Brenda was done making the chicken soup and freshly squeezed orange juice for James, and she packed it nicely, ready to be taken to him. “Do you really think I shouldn't take this to him myself, Jay? He literally saved my life!”“I know, Brenda. But it’s not safe out there, I can’t risk you getting hurt. The last one was a mistake that I shouldn't have made, and I am not about to repeat it.” Jason said calmly to Brenda who was carrying the basket containing the items for James. She sighed heavily and nodded reluctantly. “I am just glad that he is okay. I can't wait to see him back on his feet again.” “You will get to see him, Brenda. I need you to stay here and have enough rest, okay? You do not need to stress yourself. I will make sure this gets to him on my way out.” “Okay, if you say so. Tricia is here to be with me, I guess she came at the right time.” Brenda looked at Tricia who was standing cl

Gathering of foes
The middle-aged man seated in front of Jason was skeptical for a few seconds, staring at him with several thoughts running through his mind. “Your face. it looks very familiar. Have we met before?”“I doubt that, Mr. Brooks. I am sure we haven’t met before to the best of my knowledge. Maybe you may have seen someone who looks exactly like me. I get that a lot.” “Oh, I see. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Jones.” “Please, call me Albert.” Jason shook hands with Silas who extended his hands as well, forcing a smile on his face. “It’s really been a tough time for Mr. Brooks, Albert. One unfortunate being had his son locked up, and he has been trying to get him out. The evidence against him is everywhere, making it almost impossible get him out.” Philip explained, grabbing one of the empty glasses on the table in front of him. “That’'s sad. I am really sorry about that, Mr. Brooks. What do you intend to do about this?” Jason asked with a look of concern on his face, still standing

Undeserving
With a confident smile on his face, Jason looked at the people in the room with him, glancing at them one after the other until he returned his gaze to Dalton. The room was filled with so much anticipation and the eagerness written all over the faces of the people in the room could be felt in the air.“Of course, Dalton! You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Five shipments should be able to fit into one of my cargo ships, and as soon as they arrive at the port, I shall make sure they are conveyed to your preferred location.” “Just the words I wanted to hear! Excellent! Lovely!” Dalton laughed excitedly, puffing out smoke from his mouth. Silas and Philip were not left out of the excitement while Adele maintained a smile on her face, staring at Jason with so much admiration.“I think we should celebrate this!” Dalton grabbed a glass and poured some liquor inside it while he gestured to every other person to do the same. “No, I think I will pass.” Adele said when Jason offe

Inclusive
Glad that the call came in when it did, Jason pulled away from Adele, and grabbed his phone from his right pocket, lifting his other hand in front of her. “Excuse me, I have to take this.” He looked at the screen while Adele tried to move closer to him. “This is really important, I have to take it.” He turned and walked to a corner while Adele grunted loudly, clenching both fists in annoyance. “Why now? The stupid caller couldn’t wait any other time!” Adele sighed heavily, and then she looked at Jason with so much admiration written all over her face. Standing by a corner where he was certain that no one was going to hear his conversation with the caller, Jason answered the call and placed the phone on his left ear. “Harry?”“Yes! Young Master, we found something. I think you need to see this.” Harry said from the other end of the line, and at that moment, nothing else mattered to Jason. “I am on my way.” Jason ended the call at once and started walking back to Adele who

Home alone
Kelvin was silent from his own end, but the clicking sound of the keys on the keyboard of his laptop could be heard while Jason waited patiently for him to speak. “Yes! The man is named Paul Dylan. 5.4 foot tall, served a long term for murder and assault charges. Released about a year ago, and no one had ever heard of him since then.”“Any address? Is there anywhere we can find him?” Jason asked at once, holding onto the phone while he listened attentively. “There is no known address, Young Master, I have checked severally. He went under the radar as soon as he was released.”“How about the phone? I thought you were tracking it.”“Yes, but I lost the signal about two hours ago. I think he destroyed it to hide his location.”“Oh.” Jason sighed with a little disappointment while he thought about the next move to make. “There must be something, Kelvin. I need you to think of something, anyway, so we can be able to get him. This is really important, and I hope you understand.”
