COMPANY RESIDENCE
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “Well, I guess we should unveil him. Logan, unveil him,” Charles said. “Alright, boss,” Logan said. He sauntered towards the man and unveiled him. “Who is this man? I haven’t seen him before. What role does he have to play here?” all these thoughts ran through professor MacPherson’s perturbed mind. “Do you know this man?” Charles said as he gazed at professor MacPherson’s face. “I haven’t seen this man before. Young man, do you know me?” professor MacPherson said. “No…,” the veiled man said. “Charles, he doesn’t know me either,” professor MacPherson said, perplexed. “Calm down, professor MacPherson. Young man, you had better cooperate with us. Now, who are you?” Charles said. “I am Adriel. I was walking on the street when these men hijacked me and pushed me into the car. I became unconscious, but when I finally regained consciousness, I found myself here,” Adriel said. Dickson slapped Adriel and s
COMPANY LATE NIGHT
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “You are still awake?” professor MacPherson said as he sauntered to the sitting room. “Yes, dad,” Ayla said and glimpsed at the wall clock. “It’s just 7:58 pm, dad,” Ayla said. “I don’t want you to keep late night,” professor MacPherson said and sat on one of the couches. “I won’t keep late night, dad; I only want to finish this film,” Ayla said. “Alright, I compromise. Have you eaten anything?” professor MacPherson said and glimpsed at the television screen. “Yes, dad; Mrs. Evelyn brought fried rice for us. I kept your own in the oven,” Ayla said. “I didn’t have a chance to get my lunch, so I am famished now,” Professor MacPherson said and yawned. “Dad, go and eat your food,” Ayla said and quickly fixed her gaze on the film she was watching. “I think I have to accede to your idea. When I am done eating, you will turn off the television,” professor MacPherson said. “Alright, dad,” Ayla said. Professor MacPherson stood up
COMPANY BEST PART
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform❌ “You can never commit suicide; you are all I have,” professor MacPherson said as he followed Ayla in the back. As Ayla was about to open the door of her room, Professor MacPherson held her hand and dragged her to himself. He cuddled round her and said, “I have treasured and still treasure you, Ayla. I don’t treasure you because of your beauty; instead, I treasure you because of your smile. Recently, the smile has ceased and your beauty has been fading off. I would love to see you smile again; it makes you beautiful, you know.” “Dad, I can never smile until I see my mum,” Ayla said. She escaped from professor MacPherson’s arms and opened the door. She padlocked the door from behind and sauntered towards her bed. “Ayla, open this door for me!” professor MacPherson said as he knocked on the door. Ayla didn’t say a word, she was only sobbing and that was the only thing Professor MacPherson could hear. Professor MacPherson sauntered
COMPANY GREGORY STREET
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “Jeremy, go in and bring that fool,” Charles said as Dickson parked the car. “Alright, boss,” Jeremy said. Jeremy alighted from the car, he sauntered towards the uncompleted building and entered through the pithead. When he got inside the uncompleted building, he could see Adriel, who was veiled and tied to a chair. Jeremy walked to Adriel, he unveiled him and loosed him from the chair. Jeremy brought out his gun as a means of protection as he dragged Adriel out of the building. “Let me be!” Adriel screamed all along. “It’s time to keep quiet and enter the car, or I do what you don’t like,” Jeremy said when they got to where the car was parked. Jeremy opened the door to the back seat and pushed Adriel inside the car. Logan, who was sitting at the back, knocked Adriel’s head and said, “Keep quiet, pothead!” Jeremy sat beside Dickson at the front and Dickson started the car. The car gently disappeared into the
COMPANY BUSINESS DEAL
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “Yes, it is; but life goes on,” Silas said. “Sure. Well, we had a business deal with her. She agreed to supply us with sophisticated toiletries after we paid her a sum of 10, 000 USD. After that, we traveled back to Delaware and had been waiting for her supplies. Unfortunately, we haven’t contacted her since. So, my friend and I myself planned to come over to California, and here we are in California. We were at her former residence last week and someone told us about her ordeal and how she had relocated,” Charles said. “That’s serious. She had never told me in the past that she was a dealer in toiletries. Notwithstanding, she is pregnant; so, she went to the clinic for antenatal care. She should be back by 10:00 am at most,” Silas said. “We don’t have any option, Mr. Easton, do we?” Charles said. “No, we don’t; we just have to wait for her return,” Logan said. “Alright, I guess you won’t be bored?” Silas said. “Bored?

COMPANY MALODOROUS THING
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Logan and Charles stood up from the couch and Charles said, “Adalyn, are you deaf? Stand up now!” Adalyn tearfully stood up from the couch, she looked at her husband and carried a step forwards. “I will miss you, Adalyn,” Silas said and tears ran down his face. “It’s alright, Silas, Logan said jocularly, and Charles laughed. “Mr. Silas, do you know our faces now?” Charles said. “Yes, sir,” Silas said. “Wow! It means you can easily point fingers at us when you see us somewhere else,” Charles said. “I will not do that,” Silas said, and cleaned the tears on his face. Charles laughed and said, “You will! Logan, eliminate him.” “ Alright, boss,” Logan said. “Oh, my God; don’t kill my husband, he will not disclose this to anyone,” Adalyn said and cried the more. Logan ignored Adalyn, he took out his gun from where he hid it and pointed it to Silas. Silas stood up from the couch and tried to collect the gun Logan was pointi
COMPANY INHUMANE
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Adalyn gazed at the pithead as if she was trying to reminisce. “Adalyn, are you deaf?” Dickson said and knocked Adalyn’s head. Adalyn was pained, she grimaced and said, “I am sorry, sir. I know only one Louise.” “Good. How are you related to this Louise?” Charles said. “He is my ex-husband and he is dead,” Adalyn said grimly. “How did he die?” Charles said. “I don’t know how he died; the only thing I know is that me and my late daughter walked into his room and saw his corpse under our matrimonial bed,” Adalyn said grimly. “Before that, did he have any grudge against anyone?” Charles said. Adalyn scratched her head and couldn’t say a word. “Are you deaf?” Logan screamed. “I am sorry, I was trying to reminisce; I don’t think he had any grudge against anyone before he met his untimely death,” Adalyn said. “Are you sure?” Charles said. “Well, he was a lecturer. He had an issue with one professor MacPherson, sometime ago
COMPANY NAP
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Dickson and Jeremy carried Adalyn’s remains out of the uncompleted building. When they were closer to the car, Dickson opened the boot, they dropped the lifeless body inside the boot and closed back the boot. They sauntered back into the building and came out, carrying Adriel’s remains. Dickson opened the boot, they dropped the remains inside the boot and Jeremy said, “Be cautious, Dickson; I don’t want us to be caught.” “I will,” Dickson said. He closed the boot and patted Jeremy on the back. Dickson entered the car, he wore the seat belt and started the car. He gazed at the dashboard, controlled the steering wheel and the car moved gently away from the vicinity. Jeremy waited a little bit, trailing at the car as it disappeared into the thin air; he laughed and sauntered towards Silas’ car. When he got closer to the car, he could see Charles and Logan already seated inside the car; he opened the door and entered the car.
