He had blood all over him, his eyes were covered with the splash of his blood. " Are you talking or not?" " We went for vacation only, I think the rest of the money is still at home," he said to him. " Reuben, is that true?" Sam asked." Yes, sir, taken it already." " For the one you can not provide, you would have to work for it, if you steal from me while working for this current money, you continue to work till everything you have stolen and the one you would steal is paid for." Paula was angry. " If only you had not brought that letter home" she cursed. She spat out the blood that had flown to her mouth. " Are you being serious right now? Blaming me, you are lucky we took a little and we did not waste it all" " You resume work tomorrow, the both of you" Sam announced. They were untied. They brought water for them to wash themselves. After they were done, they had to go find a cab to return home. Jamal had a meeting he was going for. He got to the venue and met no one, he
Jamal did not sign the documents, he kept it in a safe place. He did not want to sign it and later on regretted why he did. He agreed with Melanie that they would not sign it until she displays what she has in mind to do to them. He got into his car and his driver sped to the office. He got to his office, it was a bit calm as they were already attending to what they were supposed to do.“ Good morning, sir,” Dennis greeted. “ Yeah, get me the usual,” he said almost immediately. Dennis left the office and went to get him coffee. He came back to the office with a cup of coffee. He handed it over to Jamal. “ Any email from Paula, let me know about it” “ I will, Sir” he said as he left the office. Jamal went back to what he was doing. He checked his time, he was surprised that it was noon already. He closed his laptop, and got out of his office. He walked to the canteen, he did not go to a private space like he usually goes to, he instead went to sit where his staff sits. They look
Jamal was in his office when Paula came into his office. Her face held no smiles. He was loving how everything was pissing her off. “ I am going to the press, you want to pay me for just a year?” Jamal did not say a word to her, his attention was on his laptop. She kept on talking about how the pay was little and the time duration as well. “ Do you realize you carried that pregnancy for nine months? I am being generous to you if you are not aware of that fact, if you wish to go to the press, do whatever you want and face whatever you bring on yourself” he was upset at this point. He picked up the telephone and called the security. “ Can you two come to my office right now, there is someone here troubling me” he said and dropped the telephone. “ I am troubling you? If that is the case, meet your downfall soon, Mr. Jamal” She left the office before the security men got in. Jamal called his lawyer and explained things to him. He told his lawyer about Paula's threat. His lawyer told
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
