‘Sara sleeps so easily.’ Carl Gerald remained dumbfounded at how quickly she slept.The group had just arrived at the Villa. As Carl Gerald gazed around he couldn’t help but gasp how the villa lights beautified the night environment.“General, please get a good nights’ rest.” Debra commented. “That troublemaker will be here to help you with security during the nighttime.”“I can hear you!” Juliet scoffed, hugging the dashboard of the car. Debra Zach had a very good way with words both positively, and negatively. Juliet, unfortunately became a victim that very night.‘I’m glad she’s not my enemy.’ Carl Gerald sucked in a cold breath.“I’ll be taking my leave then, if you have a response, please do well to reach out to me before 11am prompt.” Debra Zach remained formal.“I will. Thank you for today, Miss Debra, and Miss Juliet. I really appreciate it.”Upon that statement, both their eyes widened. Even the mentally wounded Juliet couldn’t help but muster a surprised expression.‘Did I s

Sara and Carl had been catching up on things they couldn’t for a few hours. They were waiting for Debra Zach to arrive.The long awaited arrival of Debra finally came. Debra Zach drove into the Villa, waiting outside for Carl Gerald.“Come back soon.” Sara told her brother.“I’ll try.” Carl Gerald said his last goodbyes to his sister, before sitting in the car Debra had prepared. Together, they drove far away from the Metropolis Carl Gerald resided in. The drive was silent, Debra changed the radio station a few times, from news, to music, to podcasts, she was clearly trying to remove the awkward silence.She continued to do so until a piece of news caught Carl Gerald’s ears.“There is speculation of the General’s return in the Pentagon's—” Debra Zach changed it quickly.“Wait, Miss Debra! Switch it back for a minute, please.” Carl Gerald became curious.“I’m not sure how the news got leaked, but I assure you it’s nothing you’d like to hear.” She positioned her right hand above the ra

“No problem General Carl!” Debra Zachs said as she immediately moved out to get everything in place.Moments later Carl Gerald is walking into the meeting room, Debra Zachs was behind him, as soon as everyone saw him, they all stood up.“Good day General!” They all chorused as they sat down.Only Lieutenant Alex was kind of indifferent, he was somehow still angry at Carl Gerald for disappearing and leaving them without any instructions and any information.In his defence, he believes that the Sea Wolves Elite Divisions wouldn't have been attacked if General Carl hadn't disappeared all of a sudden.The meeting room was a big hall with anti-ballistic glasses and doors, they were all Military Grade standard.The walls were titanium plated and high concrete reinforced. They had to make all this adjustments after the last attack on the base which destroyed almost everything on the military base.“I know some of you are angry to see me…I mean most of you…”“But I assure you, I will make all

The base was a treasure trove of memories to Carl Gerald. It held things that sometimes drew a sense of familiarity, and others that allowed for fragments of memories.Some of the things he had were gifts from world class Presidents, they had all been pledging their allegiance to him even though most of them hadn't seen him before.This drawer was one of those things at the moment.‘What’s this?’ Carl Gerald began to feel around the odd white drawer. To a passerby, it looked like any other drawer, but not to Carl Gerald. He knew that there was something special inside. He continued to pry it open for a while once he noticed it was locked. Carl didn’t get very far when he decided to give up. The drawer just wouldn’t budge.In a fit of desperation, he tapped at the corners. As he tapped at the bottom left, the drawer opened with a soft snap.“Oh…” In it was a bunch of keys. Nothing special.It seemed to be the keys to all the other locked drawers. Another thing caught his eye in the dr

Sara Gerald hid behind the Bugatti Mistral, it was the latest car that Mrs Juliet Marcus had just gifted herself.Still fumbling with the radio transmitter, she crawled around the car all in a bid to hide from whoever the man was.The situation was intense and palpable as the man search the mansion for Sara Gerald but couldn't find her.Sara Gerald on the other hand was still crouched by the Bugatti Mistral staring at the man from afar as she finally managed to get a message across the radio transmitter but that wasn't before the radio transmitter beeps low battery so she had to drop a recorded message through the transmitter.“Carl please come straight home, I think we are under an attack.”Sara Gerald immediately added to her long recorded message before the transmitter finally went off.Sara Gerald stared at the transmitter before carefully placing it near the tyres of Mrs Juliet Marcus's car.Slowly she tried to open Mrs Juliet Marcus's car and it didn't open because the super car
