Chapter seventy: The Birthday Surprise. “No, I am not coming,” Pearl replied. She refuses to go out with Mike on Roy’s birthday. “Come on! Mom, it is my birthday,” Roy said. “Yeah, just join us, not because of me but because of Roy, it is his fifteenth birthday, come on,” Mike said. He gave her reasonable reason, for her to join them. Pearl looked at both of them and sighed and said “Okay, hold let me change,”. She agreed to follow them out. She went into the room to change. Mike was happy with this change of decision. Shortly after Pearl came back, she dressed casual and simple. Pearl put on a jeans trouser and a simple white top, holding her coat in one hand in case it gets cold outside. “Alright let's go,” Pearl said. Roy and Mike stared at her and Mike broke the silence by saying “You look beautiful,”. “Thank you. So… can we go now?” Pearl asked. She acknowledged his compliment. “Sure, why not?” Mike said. Mike stood up and walked out of the house with Roy, who was admi
Chapter seventy-one: the hunter’s hunt. Hunter got into the park, he saw a lot of people, and will was very difficult to find Mike, even if he couldn't get Mike because could have spotted him from afar and escaped. But will Mike risk his family?Mike and his family got into the park, Roy was amazed by the fun things he saw, especially the water slide. Mike noticed his excitement and asked his son, Roy, “It seems that loves the water slide, do you want to go on a ride?”. “I wish but I didn't come prepared, I mean I didn't bring a swimsuit,” Roy replied. “Oh, I see, what do you want to do?” Mike asked. Roy looked around and saw a lot of activities going on and he couldn't choose one “Umm… I don't know really but I think paintballs will be okay,”. “Alright paintball it is then,” Mike said with a smile on his face. Pearl stood there and he watched as her son Roy, was having fun discussing with his father. That alone warms her but she quickly remembered that she divorced Mike, and s
Chapter seventy-two: “where?” “Hello boy.., are you having fun?” Hunter asked. He looked at Roy with a diabolic smile. “Excuse me, who are you?” Roy asked. He didn't know who is Hunter. “Pardon my manners, I am your father's friend,” Hunter replied. He was still maintaining his smile. “Sorry, but you are wrong, my dad does not have friends like me,” Roy replied. Roy moved back slowly. He didn't feel safe around Hunter. “Yes he does because he didn't talk about it,” Hunter said. “Yeah, I think he has, his name was James, are you James?” Roy asked. “Yes…yes, I am,” Hunter replied quickly. He was still maintaining his smile. “Sorry, my dad, doesn't have a friend named James, it was made up,” Roy replied. Roy chuckled and he moved back. Hunter was angry, that Roy tricked him like a fool and exposed his true intentions. “Come here, you little brat!” Hunter said. He grabbed Roy by the hand and pulled him close. Roy wanted to scream to get people's attention, but Hunter quickly pu
Chapter seventy-three: Mike, the most wanted man. “Where?” Pearl asked. “It's.. It's... Just wait here and my fellow policemen, will attend to you, they are on their way,” Officer Joe said. He got up on his feet and he looked at the letter and he turned to the direction that Mike ran through. Officer Joe dropped the letter on the floor and he ran through the crowd the same way I did. Pearl was now confused and she picked up the letter and she looked at it. The description in the letter said, “If you want your son, come to the construction field eight miles away from the amusement park, come alone..,”. “I can go, let me join them,” Pearl said. She stood up and she wanted to leave when some officers came. “Madam, please hold on, let us handle the situation, please come with us,” the police officer said. “No, I am not following anyone anywhere! My son is gone!” Pearl said with a loud voice and tears dropping down her cheeks. “I understand how you feel right now, my men are on the
Chapter seventy-four: impersonation and identity. “That doesn't matter right now but I am with Mike the most wanted man,” Officer Joe said. He looked if Mike noticed that he was making a phone call but Mike was staring into the construction site, checking if he could he son, Roy. “What do you mean?!” Officer Ruby asked over the phone. She was confused by this information because Mike was like a ghost to the entire police department. “Don't raise your voice,” Officer Joe said. He turned to check if Mike was coming back to the car where he was standing. Officer Joe, was not wearing a police uniform nor driving a police car, the car was taken from the owner with the name of the law. So Officer Joe can not be identified as a police officer without him showing you his badge. and besides his police badge was in his Pocket. “I said, he is with me, right now, and I need backup,” Officer Joe said. Now, Officer Joe used a hamdrekrif, to use a habderkeitff to cover the side of his mouth. Mi
Chapter seventy-five: warehouses and handcuffs. “You are Officer Joe, you have been on my case for a long time, and you informed your colleagues, so when will your colleagues get here?” Mike asked. He looked straight into the eyes of Officer Joe, who was behind the wheel. “I don't understand what you are talking about, let us figure out a plan to rescue your son, that is why I am here,” Officer Joe said. He denied that he was a police officer and he was just helping him get his son back with nothing attached to it. “Okay I see,” Mike said. Officer Joe looked at him, he was waiting for his next reply to know if he believed what he just said. Mike smiled and he showed Officer Joe his badge and his identification card. “Is this not yours?” Mike asked. Officer Joe was shocked and he knew that he was busted, he quickly snatched it off the hands of Mike’s hand and Mike laughed. “How did you get this?” Officer Joe asked. “It's simple, I made you feel smart and I acted foolish and ign
Chapter seventy-six: The Burning House. “You are where I want you, any last words….” Hunter asked. He was pointing his pistol at Mike from an elevated standing point. Mike was shocked and he looked at Hunter, he was calculating how to get away from this tight spot he was in. “You are surprised? Please don't be, I mean you could have been expecting me to pin you by now,” Hunter said. He was smiling. “Where is my son?!” Mike asked. He turned around properly and he was kind of afraid but he decided not to show it. He stood boldly and he looked at Hunter. “He is fine, don't worry, I will take good care of him and your wife, oh sorry, I forgot, you are divorced. You left your family! To chase revenge! Such a waste! Now what are going to do?!” Hunter asked. At this point, Hunter is furious because he sees Mike as a disappointment. “I don't know, you tell me,” Mike tried. Mike was still maintaining his calmness during the heat of the situation. He was creating tactical measures. “You
Chapter seventy-seven: A Bullet and a Body. Mike cried as he watched it burn. “Roy!!!!!! Roy!!!!!!! Roy!!!!! Answer me!!” Mike shouted into the burning fire, but no answer. Mike was broken, he saw the unthinkable happen in his front, not to anybody but his only child. Mike sat upright on the ground as he watched the storage room burn. Hunter was standing behind him and he said “Get up! It's over Mike,”. Mike turned around and looked at him with anger and he said “You will regret this, I promise you,”. “Ah! I am already regretting it because I am not going to see you again, forever,” Hunter replied. He was pointing his pistol at Mike. Mike slowly got up, he was completely devastated. “Now face me! I want you to look at me before you die because I want it to be the last thing you see before you die!!” Hunter said. Mike stood up and faced him, he had completely given up on himself and he was about to accept his fate. Hunter pointed his pistol at Mike, breathing heavily and his f
