Jackson checked the surroundings of the house. It was a house that was on a private property. There were no guards and it appeared as if no one was in the building. Jackson realized the only way in was to stay guard and watch who came in and went out. He nodded his head and went back to the car but Shelly was not there. The alarm bells began to ring. It was when he saw a note on the windscreen of the car that he realized that Shelly had been kidnapped.The note read, "find your way to 14, Broad band Street." He was worried because he did not know the place but that wasn't going to be an issue. He could locate the place with the help of the internet or he might just ask anyone who might know the area. He decided to call Joe to let him in on what was happening. After that he went on the search for Shelly.................................................................................................................................Shelly was gagged and she was blindfolded. She began t
"Are you ready to go with me to the company?" Gerard asked Ben immediately he saw him that morning. "Not yet sir, Mr. Gerard. I will go and get prepared now." Ben said. "I am very keen about time. So you should be ready when I am." Gerard said. Ben quickly ran to the room to go and prepare himself for today's activity. Ben waslooking forward to the job he was hoping he would get.As he was having his bath, he was having a lot of hopes about the future. He remembered how life was in the U.K. He still had a family in U.K and he was not ready to forget them. He thought a lot about Aunt Mary and his half brother Henry. He wondered how they were doing over there in the U.K. He had been so busy fighting all that had been thrown at him. Now he was distracted with looking for a job. "I have to find time to call them." He thought.He was yet to begin the search for his father. He knew he had time to look for him. That was the reason he needed a job so that he could have a level of stability i
It was about a twenty six minutes drive from New York to Brooklyn. Ben was yet to explore the city of New York. He had not really been going out that much. Infact he has not gone out at all. Of course Casey would have been the one to take him around town to see the things that it has to offer. Back home Ben was not privileged to do all that because of what he was facing with his family, especially with his sick mom and his physically challenged sister, Betsy. As the driver drove he was taken by the sight of the city. The very tall buildings and shinning lights. He was moved and impressed by it all. He was elated that he would stay in this city and whatever it had to offer he would take them will open arms and lap it all up.New York was not just any city, it was the city to live in, in the United States of America. Other cities had their own attractions of course but New York was the creme de la creme of cities in the United States of America, the land where dreams were possible. As t
"Are you for real? You are James wife?" Shelly exclaimed. Cynthia said nothing. She understood that this will or might be too much for her to take. She has no idea about the fact that James got married secretly to her three years ago. Of course there was no way that she could have known because it was just three months ago that she knew James."I do not believe you, one single bit." Shelly said. She was so shocked with the news that she began to sweat. I was like the air was being choked out of her gradually. "I am sure you have some sort of proof to this claim?" Shelly said. "Of course I certainly do." Cynthia said with so much confidence. As Shelly was seeing the way that she was displaying her confidence it made her think that it might be true that James was actually married to this woman.She beconed on Chris to get something for her from her bag. He brought an envelope with something in it. "Take a look at the content of the envelope." Cynthia said after asking Chris to give it
As Gerard and Ben walked into the building the employees stared at Ben. Some were asking questions about who he was and who he could potentially be. "Good morning sir." The receptionist greeted Gerard. "Good morning Vivian." Gerard replied her. "How have you been sir?" The receptionist asked him. "I am good. Thank you."Gerard replied. "What about you?" I am doing great sir." She replied and smiled.Ben saw all this and he was impressed that Gerard was this friendly and free with his employees. It was a rare thing seeing someone who was so wealthy and influential having so much freedom with the people that worked for such a person. This made Ben endear himself more to Gerard. Everyone kept greeting Gerard until he entered the elevator the that took him straight to his office."The lift up to his office took about five minutes because they were going to the last floor of the building. "Can I speak Mr. Gerard?' Ben asked him. "Of course you may. Please do." He said. 'I could not help bu
It was a sunny friday afternoon. Murdoch went o do groceries. He was recuperating very fast. It was thought that he would need a walking stick to walk but he was doing well. Miranda was there to make things easy for him. Miranda was a fitness coach. So Murdoch did not need to hire anyone to help him in that aspect. Ever since the attempt on his life, Murdoch had become very security conscious. He took note of every and anyonewho came into his space. He did not want to be caught on awares again like the last time. He had no fighting skill but being aware of people around you will make someone be able to act in time to prevent any misfortune.Murdoch always enjoyed doing the groceries because this was one of the times he was not working on any case. This was one of the times he was relaxed. As he got to the section where you had the cereals he noticed a man who was looking at him. He looked at the man's cart but he was yet to buy anything becaue the cart was empty. Murdoch ignored him
It was four in the afternoon and it was time for Ben to go home. They had finished for the day. "I hope today you learnt something." Green asked Ben. "Most certainly." He answered gleefully. Ben was starting a phase in his life that he never thought possible. He looked back at what he had back home in the U.K. and what he wastrying to have or build here, and he came to the conclusion that his life would get better from here on out.Ben met the other workers in the department. They all appeared nice except one of them who appeared as if he was fed up with life. He complained about the country. He complained about the fact that he should be in a better place if the country made better provision for them. He was acting like a sadist. Ben was not expectingto meet someone like that here. He believed that anyone who found himself here should count himself lucky to be in such a position. Ben did his best to avoid the man. Ben later got to know that he was pained because his fiancee left hi
"You never told me you had an uncle." Murdoch said. "I just found out about him. I did not know him until last week." Miranda said. "Okay! But you would have given me a heads up that you were coming here with him." Murdoch said. "I am sorry love, I just wanted to give you a surprise." She said and went over to give him a kiss."Is he staying for dinner? Murdoch asked her. "I am not sure. I think he has to be somewhere." She said. "I am Murdoch. What is your name?" Murdoch said. "I can see that my niece has forgotten her manners. She did not even bother to introduce us properly." The uncle said. "Uncle! Why are you talking like that?" She said to the uncle while She still hugged Murdoch."Please pardon her. I know that she can be very naughty in her demeanour." Murdoch said. "Really! So you have joined my uncle in bad mouthing me." Miranda said. "Please you can call me, Sasha." Miranda's uncle said. "Yes! That is uncle Sasha." Miranda exclaimed."What a unique name. Where are you from?'
