“Come right to me dear… Take away the feelings''. Alex mumbled as she jumped to the bed, her hands tightly gripped on his shirt. “Take it easy, Ma”. Kendrick exclaimed, slightly taking her hands off his shirt. Alex was drunk, she couldn't tell her left from the right, she raised her hands in the air, waving as though seeking solace. Kendrick pushed her gently to the bed, his mind reeled as he gazed at her voluptuous body, he picked up a blanket and covered her gently. “Get to sleep Ma… you’ll be good when you're awake”. He said walking towards the couch. The air in the room was cold so he wrapped himself in the warmth of the blanket. Some moment later, his phone's ringtone blared in the room, shattering the silence that enveloped them. Kendrick walked down to the table and inspected it, the call was from Evelyn. “Hello Ken, why aren't you back?” She asked. Her voice, laced with urgency and concern. We’ve been worried, you’ve never stayed out this late." Kendrick list
When Kendrick arrived home, everyone turned to him, he had truly changed overnight, it was the first time he stayed out, the first time he didn't respond to the greetings with a smile on his face.He dropped from the car and walked into the house, Emily was the first to run to him.“You're welcome young master, Kendrick… I didn't have breakfast with them… I was waiting for you to return”.Kendrick turned to her, she was smiling, anticipation lingered on her face, Kendrick's face was blank, he wasn't looking angry, and he wasn't smiling either.“Why would you have to do that?” He exclaimed in a calm tone.“I missed you, young brother”, She replied, rolling her eyes.“I did the same, dear… I’ll get back to you, okay?”He said moving up the stairs. When he entered his room, his eyes scanned as though searching for a lost item, he recalled the last words Alex muttered to him before leaving his hotel room.He walked into the wardrobe room, and emerged in a costly brown blazer, neatly fitte
"If this woman treats this man completely, then I'll be forced to promote her in my country." The governor of California said.Ryder laughed, "Let's wait to have it, then." He knew what it would mean for Astrid to receive a double promotion even across Texas, so he lowered his face to the ground, his heart pounding profusely. Two minutes later, a nurse emerged from the emergency ward, her face sullen, she walked into the next room and came out with a heavy bag filled with medical equipment, and some drugs. Kendrick hurried to her, his voice cracking. "How is it going?" He asked.With a heavy sigh, the nurse replied. " He isn't improving sir… his lungs have been heavily damaged, I fear he might not survive." Kendrick shook his head gently, and she walked back into the treatment room. Tension gripped everyone that sat in the waiting room, even the governor, he needed Sparrow alive, to be able to get a refund of the political loans he offered him while he was vying for an office s
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 news should be carrying information if his absence in office." He muttere
Chaos erupted in the room as the Governor turned with a pierced gaze to Astrid. "Are you saying that you didn't know the nurses who worked in your team? ... stop making us look like we should believe everything you say." Astrid remained calm, her face settled on completing the treatment process.Methot, provoked by all that was happening, turned to his guard, the gallant Brickstone, "Go... Fetch me that lady wherever she is!." His eyes reddened with anger."Yes sir." Brickstone exclaimed as he turned out.Kendrick, who was pacing back and forth, turned to the governor, his voice laced with urgency. "I believe this has something to do with the people that are present in this room,... How about I fetch them out... There's no way she would have treated him and a nurse from nowhere walked in and planted those sedatives in his stomach.""Exactly my point!" Whales thundered."How about you come take a look at this?" Kendrick called out to the governor handing him his phone. When Whales
Mrs. Alex gives Kendrick a warm hug, apologizing for always treating him like a nobody.Alexander, who was being ushered out, turns to Kendrick, his eyes clouded with anger. "I swear, you'll hate my next move... I will face this, and after I return…you'll have to wait and see what will happen to you!" He scowled. 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
Kendrick observed the phone with a flickered eye, everything wasn't in place, he hurried to Methot. "I'll have to return home right now." He announced, his voice quickening.Methot turned with a concerned stare, his eyes locked onto Kendrick's. "Why the urgency?... Is everything alright?" He asked. "we've not concluded on getting statements from Sparrow in regards to what we planned." Kendrick shook his head gently, "Okay… how about you handle that, I have an emergency at home." He said the urgency in his voice made Methot stutter. He didn't finish his words when Xavier hurried into the clinic, he tapped Kendrick on the shoulder, his voice barely above a whisper. "... There's a critical situation back at home, sir… I …I just got a call from Santos." Kendrick turned, gesturing for them to leave, his pace faster as he hurried towards the car. "I'll call the police… I believe that they'll arrive there before you do." Methot assured in a loud voice."I might stop by immediatel
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
