Two hours had elapsed, and Ryder with a flare of annoyance turned to the executive governors who sat pressing thier phones. "Two hours have ticked by, and I've had enough!" Ryder exclaimed, his annoyance palpable. He turned to the executive governors, his hands gesturing emphatically. "We can't continue to waste our time here, sirs... Your Highness, you've all acknowledged it yourselves - this is a futile exercise. If that incompetent individual had nothing better to do, he'd be handling this himself, instead of dragging busy officials like us into his mess. We have pressing state affairs to attend to, and I refuse to squander any more time on this wild goose chase!"Whales Ferdinand, the governor of California, raised his head slowly, before turning to the other. "What do you think about to that, sir?" His mind reeled, he thought of the activities that were pending after his ceremonial visit to Texas.

The security personnel dragged him away, making Kendrick stutter gently. Immediately he was dragged away, Astrid came out of the ward, her face looking stressed, she was done with the treatments. "He will be fine." She exclaimed, turning into the next office by the right. **********The tension in the waiting room was palpable, until a nurse burst out of the emergency ward, her face etched with urgency."Dr.Astrid, please come quickly!" she called out, her voice firm but laced with concern.Astrid's eyes widened as she sprang into action, her heart racing with anticipation. She rushed into the ward, her eyes scanning the room then it landed on Sparrow."Sparrow!" she exc

When they arrived at the door that should lead them into the main building, it was locked too. "This should be where they stopped, sir… these doors are bullet proof… so hard to break in." Xavier announced. " I think… I must believe, is there nothing we could do to get in?" An officer asked Kenrick. He dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out a set of keys, and tried them on the lock, but it wasn't turning. Kendrick's eyes lowered. "They must have tempered on it, we'll need to use the central lock room, sir." Xavier exclaimed. Another officer hurried through. "We tried breaking thigh this part, but we couldn't." He said, pointing to the door. "Where does this other door lead to?"Another asked in a curious tone, and Kendrick turned the knob like a blowing plume.Suddenly, his eyes fell on one of the guards, he was shot dead, his head bleeding. " Oh my goodness… . What's all this shit!" Kendrick exclaimed. Another man laid just by the other side, lifeless too. He must

Kendrick walked outside the compound, his hands clung to his waist, he stood just by the veranda, his eyes scanning the environment with a calm precision.Not long, Evelyn joined him, "I was saying something, and you didn't respond, why?" She asked. "I'm your sister for goodness sake… talk to me!" Kendrick turned slowly to her, "You don't need to bother about me… I always have my way of handling issues, Eve." Just as he stood in wait for Peace and Katherine to arrive, a call landed in his phone. He hurriedly check, it was an unknown number, so he hesittaingly picked it.
