They got to Sam. He was no longer meeting them at his office. He asked them to meet him at an excluded place. Then he was no longer meeting them there, he was now dishing out institutions to them through Reuben. Reuben was now the one giving them instructions on what to do. They followed every word that came out of his mouth. They carried out activities with him. The news report on Dave's phone was beginning to hunt him, he would look at them and try to see if his mind would tell him that he did not see it. But he could not control that, he did see it. This was not what he wanted but he had to do it. “ Do you see the news?” He asked Paula“ Yes, why?” “ Does it not bother you about the things we do?” “ It does not bother me, I know what we do is hurting people and everyone is complaining but we do not have a choice” “ We do, Paula, we do have a choice. I want to stop it” “ You can not stop it, hope you do know that” They got to talking and it became an argument. He left the
They were all seated down. Dave looked tense, for a long while he looked really tense. His eyes went to Paula. She was not looking at anyone. Her eyes were fixed in one position. Dave traced the direction of her eyes and it landed on her laptop, he wondered what it was with the laptop. “ I asked you to spill whatever you know” Jamal was getting impatient with the silence. “ In exchange for what? To put me back in jail?” “ Tell me how to get my daughter, wherever you choose to go is none of my business, just tell me where to get my daughter” “ If we tell you anything, you did not get the information from us,” Paula said, her eyes on Jamal this time. Jamal was getting impatient with them, he wondered why they could not open their mouths and tell him what they knew. Or were they purposely keeping him here? He thought about it. “ Fine, Sam Anderson is the one who has your daughter, you should go get your daughter from him”“ Is that supposed to be some joke? Sam Anderson is a notab
Jamal got into his car, and days passed by with no idea if his daughter was safe or not. He pulled up at the front of the house. He got into the building with Dennis and the other two guys. He knocked on the door. Dave was the one who stood by the door. He sighed as he saw Jamal at the door. “ What do you want?” He asked him.“ Can we get inside?” “ What do you want?” He asked again.“ To help me out, I want my daughter” Dave opened the door wide enough for him. They got inside and sat down. “ What do you know about her whereabout” “ I do not know the exact place she was kept but I do know that Sam is the one who has your daughter” “ Fine, if you say it is Sam, I agree. What should we do” Dave began to explain to them how to get to where his daughter was. He talked for a long time, the security guys were taking down notes. They mapped out their plan. Got everything written down. He sat down as he searched for Reuben's contact details. He got it and sent it to the security g
They got everything settled. The problem was resolved. Dave was not allowed to be in the room with Rose alone. He was attached to two other guys. Jamal had to release funds for them to pay the hospital to get a drug. They got to the building. It was quiet and they had to move in slowly. Dave was in the building already. He stretched his body as he went to his bag and brought out three drinks, he was very careful on the one that had drugs in it. “ This is for you” he gave one of the drinks to the first guy.“ And this, for you” He held the last drink. He opened the drink and began sipping from it. He looked at the other two and saw that they had started drinking it too. After a while, he saw that their eyes were drifting away, and it was beginning to get closed. It closed finally as they fell to the ground. He too had to join them on the ground to not raise dust. The two security guys came into the room and picked up Rose, surprisingly, she made no sound. They got out and gave h
“You pig, get me back my stuff if you do not want your eyes rolling on the ground” he rushed to get the necklace but he was too late, the guy smashed it with the boots he was wearing.“ Stop it” he shouted, he came to the guy with all of his strength. Hit him hard on the head. He pushed him against the wall, hitting his head repeatedly on the wall till blood gushed out of his head. He let him off. He was dead. He stood looking at the rest, the other guy looked around him, he was left with the three of them as he was the only one in the room. They came at him, beat him up till he began to hold from his mouth and nose. “ Do not kill me,” he begged.“ If you do not want to die, you do as I say” Dave was all sweaty, his clothes were soaked with the sweat that had filled his body. He held him by the neck. “ I will spare my life” Dave raised him, still holding his neck. “ Look around this place, find a way in the roof for us to get out of here” he instructed. The guy stood up and be
“You can not leave this place, do you understand, that is some sort of trap,” Dave said as he held her hands and took her inside the house. “Call him, let him know you would not be coming, and tell him you just got to a hotel room to relax a bit” Paula called him and told him that she had gone to a hotel to spend the night. He was furious, he began to yell at Paula. Dave took the phone from her and ended the call. “We should sleep, Jamal has a place for us tomorrow.” He climbed on the bed. Paula was still standing with her phone in her hand. She went to bed and kept her phone on the table. She climbed on the bed and got into a sleeping position. The next morning, Reuben had a big headache. He felt like his head was going to fall out. He held his head as he searched the cupboard for pills to take. He had drunk a lot the previous night, he was angry that Paula was no longer coming, which meant that he would not be able to get to her. He took the pills and waited for his head to go
This time around he was at Dave's house. He had an argument with Melanie over the card that was sent, it was sent from the private party organizers telling him the color of the outfit to wear. “ You would wear something different from what you are asked to Wear. You would go there with something abstract. “ Yeah, sure’’ They sat down with the two security guys to draft out their plans. They started when he would be entering the hall. They prepared their mini camera, this time around, it was not just the necklace but the wristwatch and the one inside his clothes, the glasses, and the hairpin. “ If one gets removed, we will still have the connection to you” “ Whatever happens, do not tell them the truth that would hurt you later” Dave warned. He got home and had to prepare himself. The day came and he got dressed. Melanie knew that the day was here, she wanted to give one more try to convince him not to go but she did not want another argument to surface.He got dressed and left
He paced around the room. They were all seated down. He could not believe that after they sent him away, he had the guts to go to the press to say such a thing. He felt so disgusted and had no fear anymore. He was willing to let the world know the kind of person he was. He hid a lot in the speeches he delivered. Nobody suspects anything, nobody knows anything. Everyone thinks he is some good man who has sympathy for people and they praise him for it. “ How could he say such a thing about me?” he hit the glass cup he was holding on the ground. He looked at the rest, they all sat there staring at him. Dave breathes out. He could not hold Jamal from expressing the anger he felt, he let him bring it all out. “ You have to calm down, sir, we need plans to handle this,” Dennis said. “ We need to wake up and see who this man is. People would not believe me, that is why we need strong evidence to hold on to” Jamal rubbed his head. He walked back and forth. Then finally, I decided to sit do
