The deed had already been done and all that clouded Allen's thought at that point was how to try to convince David that the safe would not be gone for long. Allen was about to speak but hesitated for a moment when he saw the look on David's face David stared at Allen, his eyes like chips of ice. "David, I need you to calm down okay?" Allen finally said. "I don't look tensed to you, or do I?" David questioned sarcastically. "That's not what meant, I....""I don't give a shit about what you mean, okay?" David bellowed. "Just bring back that safe and we're cool," David said, reducing the tone of his voice as soon as he realized that he was shouting. He turned to look at Stephanie in the face as if he knew that he was scaring her but he took his eyes off her in a heartbeat and focused them on Allen. "I'm going to bring it back, I just need you to trust me on my plan," I said as I cleaned my sweat again. "Listen here, I don't care about any of your plans. The safe got stolen from you
Allen stared at Stephanie for what seemed like an eternity. "You can't help with anything Stephanie, you don't understand the magnitude of the situation.""I... I can help. I can help you find him and bring the safe back. I didn't know you kept something that important in here, else I would have led him away." Stephanie said. "It's not your fault that bloody thief broke in here. You're not to blame for what is happening to me right now." Allen said in frustration as he walked back to the bed calmly and sat on it. As he sat, he tugged at his hair and wondered how he had gotten to this point. If he didn't find that safe, he was done for and not only will David come after him, but he will make sure that Allen feels the magnitude of what he has just lost. Allen stood up to exit the bedroom, but he immediately stood up, seeing that he had no plan and didn't know where to begin tracking the man who had stolen the safe. "Oh god, I wish Ultimate was here," Allen said, clutching his head w
The man with the safe clutched tightly to his chest ran through the shadows, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he fled from the scene of his crime. His heart pounded in his chest, a mix of adrenaline and fear coursing through his veins.He could hear the sounds of sirens in the distance, and the wailing of police cars as they raced towards the scene. But he knew he had a head start, knew that he could outrun them if he was fast enough.He reached the edge of the lawn, his eyes darting around for any signs of pursuit.The man sprinted towards the street, his footsteps pounding on the pavement as he raced towards the car that waited for him. He could see the driver inside, the engine idling in anticipation.The street was deserted, the lights from the passing cars casting a ghostly glow on the pavement. The man glanced over his shoulder, his eyes narrowing as he searched for any signs of pursuit.There was nothing. The sirens were growing fainter, the sounds of pursuit disappearing i
Allen ran his fingers through his hair, remembering how he first met David and understanding that he had never been this agitated at him or looked at him in such a stern manner gave him anxiety.His eyes wandered, now thinking for clues “The question here is how do I find this thief?” He muttered to himself, his eyes dim and cold, there were not many clues yet he thought to himself and called out to Stephanie, he was running out of time and he needed to check something as fast as he could.“Yes brother” she ran to him “I know I sent you away, I don’t want you involved in this, yet I need you to answer a few questions” Allen said still standing, his arms folded. “I’ll do anything I can to help, it’s also my fault he got away” she said, her eyes almost teary “It will be fine, just answer my questions calmly, okay” Allen said, his voice was softer.“What weapon did the thief yield?” He asked staring at her “I’m sure it was just the knife, when I pushed him, he wasn’t with another weapon
Marcel heard the mild yet awakening knock on the door, “perhaps did they get it?” He said under his breath, he went closer to the door, leaning in, looking through the tiny hole made in the door, and squinting his eyes, he saw the two men standing outside, one holding a rusty dumpster.He swiftly opened the door “Come inside, quickly” he said to them in a low tone urging them to move faster, as they walked in, he quickly closed the door behind them as swiftly as he could caring nonetheless if they were followed or not.“Do you have it?” Marcel asked, swallowing a lump in his throat “Only for you boss” the man said dropping the dumpster bucket onto the ground and bringing out the valued safe, Marcel looked at both of them, “Gentlemen, let’s walk further” he said signaling that they could walk into the fairly lit corridor.For an abandoned building, it sure looked lively, new if thought of it calmly, the man looked at Marcel, his eyes wandering “Don’t be frightened, it’s quite safe here
David’s eyes searched through the room, he wasn’t sure what he was looking for or what to look for, was it Allen? He thought to himself “Maybe I was too harsh with my words” David said looking out the window, the painting which hung on the side was somewhat misplaced.He placed his hands behind his back, “Whoever stole that safe has a lot on his plate, I’m sure” he muttered to himself, he also had work to do, he walked back to the seat behind his desk.“Who could have stolen the safe? I hope he finds it and quickly” David said adjusting his seat. He focused on the work on the desk in a way that it would distract him from the main issue at hand, he didn’t want to worry too much about the safe, judging from Allen’s determination, he will be able to find the thief, he thought to himself.“May I come in?” The solemn voice asked, instead of a knock, Mary would rather let the men hear her captivating voice “You may” David answered, his voice in distraught.“I see you haven’t been getting en
Allen couldn’t believe his eyes, even his ears felt too deaf to understand “Why does everyone desire Ultimate so badly, maybe that’s the reason, he chose me” Allen said, his eyes accepting who had stood before him.His hands tied vehemently to the chair “Blindfold him again” the lady said, her voice resounding “Yes ma’am” the scruffy man said taking out a dark piece of clothing to cover Allen’s eyes and putting a piece in his mouth to muffle his speech.“No one must know that he is here, I’ll be back for him,” she said walking off into the darkness. Allen was now in the hands of the enemy and may soon meet his end, being betrayed by a comrade made his heart ache even when all he could see was nothingness and darkness.The brightness burned into his eyes, Allen opened them again, his heart ached, and his body struggled to move the blindfolds were opened, and he could hear the guard's distant chatter, “Is he the one that has the so-called Ultimate?” One of the guards at the door asked w
Allen’s home had felt empty all day with him gone, his sister had begun to worry, Stephanie kept moving from room to room in futile effort to find her brother.“Is my brother home yet?” She asked one of the maids “No not yet, my lady” the lady said, her eyes avoiding Stephanie “I’ve been trying to get to his mobile” she added, her eyes had become teary, “I hope he’s okay, wherever he is” her voice had become shaky.Then the doorbell had been rung, alarming Stephanie “Is that him?” She asked, hope in her voice “It was my fault that he went to look for the thief and till now, he’s not here, that may be him” her eyes with a gleam of hope as she bolted to the door.“Hello” The soothing voice said, the young woman’s face felt too beautiful for Stephanie after opening the door, she took a step back to see who it was but she wasn’t sure if she could recognize the face in front of her.“I’m your brother’s colleague, Mary Jane” she said, stretching her hands forward watching Stephanie’s eyes,
