The priest was lost in thought as soon as the four mercenaries left his sight.

"We need to send some people to go and verify if the ship is at the dock," Barrymore who had been peering at his superior face let out.

"Go along with some men and be careful not to be tailed back to our hideout."

"What about you? I suggest you leave this place right now."

"I will. Let's be on our way."

The group marched out of their meeting hall and were weary of snipers as they hurried close to their cars, hopped inside and drove into the main road.

"Something is wrong at our headquarters. All my telephone calls were received by a strange voice... I hope that is not what am thinking."

"What's on your mind?"

"I guess El Ramon had invaded our place and arrested all our men."

"Call Greenwich port to confirm from the guards there. I believe they will have information about what is going on."

"I already did. My calls were picked up by strange men who seemed interested in my location, but offered no vital inf

    Barrymore parked at the port car park, hopped down the car and was followed by four hefty men in black uniforms. A moment later, the large gate was opened and the five men strolled inside. "Good evening, how can I be of service?""We are here to meet some sailors who docked in your port three days ago?""Only one ship docked here in the past week, and the sailors left two days later.""And the ship?""Along with the ship. Will they leave without it?""You mean there is no ship in this port?""Apart from some boats and speedboat, there is no single ship in our dock.""Mind if we take a look?""No. Please come with me."The pair were led into the port and then showed where the ship was kept before sailing back to wherever it was brought from."The only island in this way is Greenwich island. Perhaps your sailor was waiting for you there," the guard pointed toward somewhere far off and let out."They were instructed to wait for us here."The guard shrugged, peeked at his visitors and s

    Onishi released his newfound lover from an absurd position, stand up from his kneeling posture, and breathed out loud."Did you enjoy the lovemaking?""Aye.

There is an heir already.""I don't understand.""Prince El Ramon's wife delivered a boy and he is with the mafia's assassins as we are speaking.""We must kill him.

    After swallowing more bottles of scotch, the crossed-eyed barman signal his visitor to follow him, and the trio walked out of the inn, into the dark environment, and were swallowed by the overwhelming darkness. "My clients were already waiting for us, please walk fast." Onishi hold Angel's hand and both sauntered with fingers intertwined, circled the large inn, and arrived in front of a small barn that was built with planks. "Follow me inside," the barman muttered, and the creaking of the door as it was pulled sounded louder in the silent night. Where they emerged was an empty barn, except for several wooden boxes and black polythene bags. And several lanterns hung on the roof turn their shadows into grotesque images. "It's okay. No need to grip my fingers in fear." "Am not scared." "You are." The light from their host torchlight lead the way, and the two gentlemen and a lady wobbled after it. Suddenly, the sound of the creaking wooden door as it was closed sounded for the s

    Augur was the first to step into Priest's room after Sheila left, and he stood in horror at the lifeless man sprawling on the mattress in his pools of blood. He knew who did it and why she did what she did.It had seemed absurd when Sheila brought the suggestion, and it takes Augur's slow mind some days to accept the decision he made in a moment of anxiety."Why should everybody die because of a man's decision? The priest is fighting a lost battle and will bring everyone down along with him.""I agree, but what can we do? He is the most influential, richest and all my future is tied to him.""Kill him and take over your company. I will inform prince El Ramon of your service and beg him to support you.""Did you think he will agree with that?""Yes. This island still needs your services and knowledge of the sea.

It was Sheila that murdered him. I only lied to them to save our heads.""Tell that to a clown. You are the one that murdered him, and I feel pity for the poor lady you were lying on. Who knows what you did to her.""Keep your mouth shut and get off my sight. If you are too blind to comprehend the situation we are in, then there is no point proving to you that I did everything for all of us."The short, fat and equally mean-looking man shakes his head in disgust, hissed and let out, "did she help you to murder him, and then got murdered by you, or did you do it all alone.""Keep talking and I will put a bullet in your skull.""I had suspected there was a spy among us but had never believed it was one of the three Musketeers.""Tell me more!""Did prince promise you his post if you killed him?""Aye.

    The coronation proceeds the following day, and the wedding ceremony takes place three days later. Unfortunately, only one of the two suitors got married, while the other man was chained inside one of the cells in the dungeon. "Tell me how you start the fire that prompt your escape." "I send them out of the house with my continuous nagging and after hearing them lock the door at the other side, I raced into the kitchen, connect their oven to the socket and poured lots of dried papers inside. Then I dragged the cylinder of gas closer, lose it, and then hide inside the large freezer by the wall far off." "You take a great risk. What if you were burnt to death?"

    OPPORTUNITY TO PAY BACK

    The dark witches were associated with evil, even before the reign of El Guje. And this was part of the reason why El Ramon was filled with anxiety as he alighted from the vehicle and was followed by his armed-to-the-teeth mafias."This place is filled with lots of bandits. Protect our prince with your lives." This order from the general is quite unnecessary because most of the bandits were probably shivering in their hideaways at the sight of the heavily armed mobs. And except for the sound of the rodents who scurried out of sight, the cock-a-doddle-do of the birds calling to their mates and the chirping of the insects searching for their breakfast, only the sound from the footsteps of the mafias seemed to be the disturbance to the serenity of that expanse forest. Moments later, the group arrived at the entrance of the dark witches' village, and all who set eyes on them scampered to the safety of their rooms. "Why are they running helter-skelter?"

It is an uninhabitable area of rocky land and a dangerous creek. And if we turn left then we will be heading towards the dark witches' village.""Let's drive there."The men breathed with relief when they were ordered to leave their blind search, and they immediately hopped into the trucks and sped out of sight.

And it was very late in the night when he left the Inn.""He didn't come to the palace, so I assumed he went back to his house.""No. He waddled inside the heavy rains for hours and was followed by my men who lagged some feet away.""Be quick.

    Zuma ordered more liquors and was drunk than a skunk when the stars appeared for their night duties. After finishing the content in the last bottle in his front, he belched louder, placed his two palms on his thighs and stood up with a grunt. The inn was populated by the few night crawlers, and no one seemed to notice the man wobbling among the columns of chairs and tables, nor seemed to mind when he crashed into a table filled with empty bottles, staggered and fell, and then stood up and resumed his waddling. A moment later, he arrived at the outside of the Inn, breathed out loud with relief and walked closer to the gate side."It's already late, Honey. Come to my room and let me make love to you through the night.""I need a man that can penetrate me through the backside. It's been days since I experienced doggy style.""Spend the night with me for just a few dollars.""Is that not Zuma?""He looked like him.""Hey!

I was picked by a rich merchant and we were together afterwards.""Don't hesitate to inform any mafia around whenever you see her again.""I will.
