The call was from his boss, Mr Turner. Damien’s heart ran a mile as the phone continued to ring in his hand. He was quite aware of why his boss was calling. He quickly glanced at his wrist and the time made him to shake the more.It was already past 1:00PM, he was supposed to deliver the protection money to Mr Turner before 12:00PM, he was already an hour late. Being late was not the reason for his freight, the protection money he was supposed to take to him was the one he used in settling all the bills for the customers in the restaurant.He knew that Mr. Turner would not take kindly to any discrepancies, especially if a single penny was missing. But if Mr. Turner discovered that $215,000 was short, the consequences would be severe. If there were a punishment worse than death, Damien would surely face it.Damien stood there shaking like a leave while the phone rang in his hand. It rang for the first time and went unanswered as he could not find the courage to answer it. But he was al

There was no way August could look at his wristwatch since his hands were tied behind the chair. “What says your time,” he asked ignorantly, gesturing at the men.“Why are you asking for time now? Just a matter of minutes before you are dead, they don’t use Time in the land of the death,” one of them ridiculed and they elicited into laughter. “It’s wrong to turn down a denying man’s request, so I’ll tell you what the time is,” one of the men said mockingly before staring at his wrist. “It is some minutes to 3:00PM”.August’s countenance changed, putting on a more serious face he said slowly: “Enough of the play boys. You should untie me now, I have a meeting to attend and I’m already running late”.The men exchanged glances and burst into an an unending laughter, they laughed disdainfully till their guts almost came out through their mouths. “Did you hear this delusional fool? He said he has a meeting to attend,” Scarface mocked amidst the laughter. “Maybe it’s true he has a meeting

Mr Turner’s eyes were almost out of their sockets when he saw his groaning on the floor. If not for the fact that he had seen him leave the office minutes ago with those clothes, he would not have recognized that it was actually Tom, his son.“Tom?” Mr Turner exclaimed, stunned. “What happened to you?” His tone dripping with concern and worry. The later could barely speak, all he kept doing was groan and yelp in pain. Damien and his men were almost wetting their pants, they were shaky like leaves. They preferred the ground to open up and swallow them whole, than face Mr Turner’s wrath. “Son, are you alright?” Mr Turner inquired holding Tom’s hand relatively closer. Tom’s mutter was not even audible enough to hear, he groaned and shake his mouth, only the almighty knew what he was actually trying to say.Mr Turner’s mind was a whirl! He could only see his son’s girlfriend Mia, Damien with his men, and a Man tied to a chair. Then where is the person or the group of persons that must

****Outside Enigma Eats restaurant, five sleek black Maybach convoy cars parked outside the restaurant. About twelve men adorned in black tailored suits with sun glasses on emerged from the cars. While five of them quickly hurried into the restaurant, the others stood guard around the cars.The men headed straight to the VIP section of the restaurant, they scrutinized the faces of the customers there but they seemed not to find who they were looking for. They hurried back outside and checked around the premises but seemed not to still find him.Again the men went back in. After thoroughly checking in, out and around the restaurant premises. One of them removed his phone and dialed a contact. “The young master is not here,” the man said quickly looking tensed. “What? How is that possible? Where could he have gone all of a sudden. He just instructed me to send someone come pick him up. While have he left the place?” the other voice asked frustratingly.“Go on and ask the restaurant m

****Back at the warehouse, Mr Turner had just taken down Damien and Scarface in anger following August’s cunning revelation. Only if Mr Turner knew August was the reason behind Damien using his protection money to pay for the customers food.The two other men were trembling in fear. If the boss could be so ruthless to their leader, he would surely kill them! They almost left their skins when Mr Turner glared at them. But to their greatest surprise, he did not do what they were thinking. He gave them a cold glare and then shifted his eyes away from them to August.“Don’t think I will spare your life because you revealed what my men did. I have already decided you are going to die today, and that’s final, nothing can stop that,” he spat coldly.August was indifferent every time the man talked about killing him, he even smiled slowly. “You are such a fool, instead of demanding for me to spare your life in return for the information, you were more concerned about how I punish my men.
