Jackson sat there with a serious look on his face. He was seated facing the fireplace, and his mind was in so many places. He was actually waiting for news from the spy he had been waiting for.

“Mr Jackson, I brought news. I hope you are going to love it…” the messenger spy who had just returned expressed with a smirk on his face.

“And what is it this time? You haven't been burning enough good news lately, and I fear today might be the same.”

However, he shook his head. “No, I don't think so. Today's news is so good, I'm sure you're going to reward me for it. I know you will.”

Jackson hummed before rubbing his hands against his beards. It seemed he was in deep thoughts concerning all that was happening. He had a lot of things involved as well.

“So what's the news?” Jackson asked again. He felt like the messenger was wasting a lot of time.

“Well, I have confirmed it. Norman is in jail, and…”

Jackson got impatient. “Say Something, and stop keeping me in suspense. I really don't want t

    They were all seated. Henry, Lana, and Lucas. It seemed they were all trying to look at what was happening. The fact that things were just all over the place right now was disheartening.Henry heaved, and turned towards Lucas who seemed really worried about everything. He was trying so hard to get himself,but it seemed like things were well enough.“Are you sure things are going to be fine? Aren't you hearing everything that has been happening? The violence is getting too much to bear. I don't think I can actually say that things are getting out of hand.”Lana was the one who commented. She was exceptionally scared she knew how things could be. She knew that things weren't safe.“The rate of crime is so high, I'm sure someone is against us. I know it, but how do we know who?” she continued, but her statement made him turn towards her. “You're not wrong. It could actually be our enemy. We all have a common enemy. But we also should know that we shouldn't put one person in mind. Besid

    Bethany was still asleep when she heard what was going on. She was shocked, jolting you from sleep due to the way her phone rang. Her eyes were still very heavy from the late night jobs she did, but she managed to search her bed with her bed closed. “Hmm?” she hummed as soon as she picked up the call, and placed it on her ears. However, there was something else involved. Her chest drummed faster than usual, and she was more than worried. Her eyes also snapped open.“What are you trying to say?” she asked, and there was more information following in.“I'm trying to explain that there was a robbery. The robbery was so much that some even got injured. You need to come check it out yourself. Do you understand?”“Alright. Text me the location.” she expressed, and was immediately shocked when she heard more .As soon as the call ended, she sighed, and then looked at the time from her alarm clock.“Five am? A robbery at five? What the hell?!” She screamed, frowning her face. Her brows neede

    Bethany seemed to be tense as their car raced to where the supposed robbery was taking place. She was so worried, and tried her best to be calm, but it seemed like it wasn't working out in any way.She took in deep breaths as she drove, trying to tell herself that everything was going to be fine. It was only a matter of time before they got to the crime scene, by report reaching her was that the criminals had sealed the exit.“And so? Do what I care about?!” she yelled, and immediately, ordering her square to immediately surround the area.“Yes ma'am!” They answered, and immediately went to work on it. She made stew that the doors were broken, and that they were in.“You're under arrest. You better drop your weapons, and surrender!” She screamed alongside her men that were inside. They were lucky that more men arrived.The robbers who were under masks turned towards themselves, and then before Bethany and her group knew what was going on, a gunshot was heard.The robbers shot a woman

    At the station, the robber was taken into custody. He was in the interrogation room, but all he did was stare blankly at whoever was questioning him and blinking.“Who's your leader? Who do you work for? Why are you guys terrorising the town” so many questions were on Bethany's mind, but she didn't know how to answer them. She was confused, and concerned at the same time.She thought the robber was going to be sacred, but it wasn't so. He was rather a tough nut to crack which was a bit concerning to her.“Listen, we are going to give you a chance. Give us the information we need, and we promise we're going to work on your sentence. YOU'RE going to be a hero for helping us think about it.” Bethany was seated, her eyes staring directly into his, but when he blinked again like he usually did, she lost it. She sprung up from the chair, and slammed her hands on the table. Her eyes were fixed on him. What was going on in his head was something she couldn't understand. Bethany knew that

    Bethany went home the day feeling refreshed. She was happy and excited about the dinner. Maybe as a form or a way to ease tension.“So I'm picking you up?” he asked, and she rolled her eyes.“It all depends on you. I mean you have the right to do whatever you want to do, and I'm sure it's better I understand with you, I'm going to pick it up. You agree with that right?” He asked with raised brows, and was shocked when he noticed that she nodded.Bethany was always a hardcore woman who was the most respected in the country. She was always trying her best to fix numerous cases which were okay to her.A smirk appeared on her lips, and she excused herself from his side of the excursion. “See you at 6 then…” she answered immediately, heading to her car which she drove home.On getting home, she couldn't stop thinking. She was worried, and at the same time concerned. Everything that was happening was indeed taking a turn on her, and she needed to relax her mind for a while.She got into

    Drake was in the restaurant with an unknown man and all these were being watched by Harris, and Bethany. Drake shook hands, and was even smiling, before sipping a glass of wine afterwards.“What's going on there, I really wish to know. I can't see him smiling like that with an unknown figure and not question what the hell is going on. Come on, we need to know what's happening. I mean, there's a lot already on our plate. I need you to understand the way things are.”“Yes I understand. I too want to know what the hell is going on. Drake can't be trusted, and the way he's smiling seems to show that there's something going on. Do you understand what I'm saying?”“Yes, yes I do. I really do. I just want you to know that there's a lot of things involved. But I really think we should storm in there, and interrogate them…” Bethany was the one giving this suggestion. Her eyes were focused on the clear glass that revealed the people in the restaurant, and she frowned her face.Harris on the ot

    Bethany returned back home, troubled, and worried. Her expression was filled with wrinkles, and she couldn't stop acting around her room.

No one was actually there to respond to her.Asides from her worry about Hassan Drake meeting with an unknown man, she was still worried about the criminal that had been locked up and didn't want to say anything about his gang. “Now that I see Drake making some strange movements, I feel like there are other things underneath that I need to find out. Something I'm not being told.”She sighed, but tried before to contain herself. Everything about the situation seemed to overwhelm her, but she didn't want it to be so.“I'll ensure I investigate, and bring them down. But how do I do that?” she pondered all through the night, sitting on her bed to jot down some clues. She started by taking notes of eve

All the evidence she needed was in her computer, and she was certain she would be able to get things done.Arriving at her office, she looked around, feeling that something was off, but everything was perfectly in order. Her eyes scanned the place, and it was then she noticed there was something off. Her heart drummed, and she immediately tried to check everything.The next moment she walked over to the computer, she noticed there was something wrong. Her eyes widened, and her face turned pale. “It was right here. Right here!!!” she screamed, and then ran her hands through her hair in frustration. Everything that she had put there was blank. She immediately shook her head, squinting her eyes as she waited for the computer she turned off to reboot. It was complicated. How was that able to happen. Everything felt off. She was trying her best to finally come to pass, and she was tr

    Drake's power grew. Everything seemed to be under control, and he seemed to be loving it so much. He had archived all that was needed, and what was left was simple. He was finally going to be able to work things out for himself. “Now that I'm occupying a great office, how about I do something to change my life,” he expressed, and just then there was a knock on the door thsh interrupted him. At first he smiled, and then he frowned again. Everything was supposed to be alright, but it didn't seem like it. His secretary who was now on his side was the one who came into the room. On her face was concern, and in her hands were some files.“Here's the file you asked for Mr drake…” she commented with a smirk and immediately got a nod from him.As soon as she handed him the document, he used his eyes to scan it, and he nodded, waving her off with his hands before he was finally able to do anything else.Once she was gone, he squinted his eyes.

    Bethany was still really confused. She didn't expect what had happened. Infact, she was in shock. Everything being exposed was way too much for her to comprehend.“So you said it's an old gang, and you managed to disband some of its members, so how did–” Norman paused, his right hand on his chin as he paced around the cell.“Well I'm not sure I did that how. If their logo still exist, and you caught someone from the gang. It was obvious the gang was bigger than I thought.” Bethany’s heart drummed, and she stared at him, more confused. Did he just say bigger? She was already so close to getting a clue, and she found out it was only a drop in the ocean.Furrowed lines wrapped around her face, and she pressed her lips together, her head and eyes lowered as she sank deep with her thoughts.“You really think you didn't stop them enough some years ago? I'm pretty sure there's nothing against them. Besides, there are a lot of things going on right now.” No words were said, and she immedia

    Timmy wasn't ready to do my biddings at first, but once I had explained to him about what had happened, he immediately went to his laptop.“So you want me to research about this criminal guy, right?” He asked and Bethany nodded. That was what she needed. She needed him to actually help her dig deeper into it. She stood close to him while he sat on the computer, his eyes squinted as he punched the letters staring at the file I had handed to him for a little while. “Mmmm, he sure has a lot of criminal records. What the hell!” He yelled, and was worried about the way things were. Once he had pressed the search button, he immediately laid back, and placed his hands on his lips.“It seems like there are a lot of things involved. I really don't know what you want to know when you have the necessary information on what was happening. I really needed to do something today, and you're not helping me out by being here.”She frowned. “Shut up and do what you need to do. I need everything for m
