They shook hands with each other and exchanged mischievous smiles that suggested that they were both confident in their abilities.

After accessing Zonam like a monitor, Laimer rubbed his fingers and had some confidence that he was going to dismantle Zonam with ease.

Their expressions were a silent contemplation as they moved their hands in a strategic dance across the chessboard. The chessboard was a classic and well-designed square, arranged in an 8x8 grid and comfortable enough for use.

Laimer’s face was contorted with a demeanor of poised focus and a deadly stillness that conveyed the gravity of their strategic deliberations.

‘Perhaps this guy might not be such a beginner after all,’ Laimer thought. ‘He seems to be smart enough with his moves.’

The few moves that were being made were enough to convince Laimer that he was not playing with a learner. In any case, he was very confident in his abilities. There was no way that he was going to be beaten in a game of chess. Never! He had

    He had fallen into the hands of some people he should never have gotten involved with. There was no way that they would be snapping fingers together like that without them having an ulterior motive. His hands were shaking as his senses were alert with fear and an expectation of danger.The air was a tense stillness and there was a suffocating silence that spoke volumes and made Laimer’s expression a terrorized dread. Before Laimer could turn his gaze, he discovered that a gun was pointed just towards his belly. He was shell-shocked with terror as he felt the black metal just above his abdomen.He noticed that the gun was pointed straight to his abdomen area by the same man who announced that there was a chess competition.Dwight pointed the gun to Laimer in a way that was going to scare the hell out of him but he made sure that his posture wasn’t completely focused on the attack he was trying to do. His hands were a stealthy gesture and a discreet movement as he pointed the gun with

    Laimer’s gaze darted back and forth in fear as he asked the questions. Susan was pretty much the most important person in his life. Laimer may have been careless about his wife Susanna because even though he loved her at the time he married her, he realized that he loved her only because of her beauty.Susanna developed a terrible sickness a few years after giving birth to Susan and even though Susanna recovered from the sickness, she became pale compared to the way she was previously. Her face had black spots on them and Laimer felt that she was no longer the lady that she married who had all the endowments that his youthful desires craved for.Laimer began to act irresponsibly and he started cheating and sleeping with other women, coming home late at night, and giving Susanna all sorts of lame excuses.But despite all of his even all of his shortcomings with Susanna, he never let his love for his daughter grow cold even by half a degree.He always cherished her, bought gifts for he

    “Well, of course, we know you don’t want anything to happen to your daughter, haha,” Uqaman spoke. “I have a 14-year-old son myself and I would tear anyone apart who even comes close to shaving a strand of hair off his head.”“We will get to that. We will tell you everything we want. You just have to be patient while we take you through some steps. Don’t be in a rush.” Zonam added, his face contorted with a mischievous smile.Dwight then brought out another photograph and handed it over to Laimer discreetly. Laimer was thrown into a panic of terror as the air pierced with the echo of destruction. What other photographs did they have? What else did they want to show him?Laimer’s mind was running wild with thoughts as he unfolded the envelope to find out what was inside of it.This time it wasn’t just one photograph but different photographs. His face was a probing glance as he accessed the photographs one by one and he couldn’t believe what he was seeing again.They were all pictures

    Dwight took another glance at Laimer’s friends “You are lucky that they are still there waiting for you. Aww, you have really good friends.” He mocked. “Imagine having to wait on a man like you who doesn't have a single reputation. Well, as they always say - birds of the same feathers would usually flock together.”“As I was saying, stay with them after giving them the envelope and make sure they go through everything it contains. When you are sure that they have gone through everything, tell them that they risk great danger to the people that appeared in the photographs if they didn’t appear in front of the black truck just opposite the restaurant.”Laimer knew at once that it was the same tactics that were used on him that the dark agents were going to use on his friends. They were going to scare them to their bones until they did exactly what they wanted them to do and as far as things had gone so far, Laimer knew that it was going to work.“Oh, I am sure that I don’t have to tell

    He was already frustrated that Laimer was in trouble and now Robert was going to suit in such a lame way. What ammunition did he have on him to think that he could challenge such stern-looking people? He just wanted to take a risk that would intimately put them in trouble, Droppel thought.Robert moved his feet in preparation to walk over but before he could stand up, he noticed something.Laimer was walking over to them slowly, his footsteps were a cautious dread as his eyes were caught up in a tense fear.“He’s coming!” Droppel alerted, using his hand to block Robert from making the move. “He is coming over here, relax. There is no need to go there. It seems they have released him.”Laimer’s mind was a pressure cooker of fearful thoughts. He wondered how people had suddenly forgotten that he was supposed to play a chess competition. He thought that the attention of everyone in the restaurant was going to be heightened and that they were eager to know who the winner was going to be

    Droppel’s breath was hitched with a horrified gasp of terror and his legs trembled with a shake of fear. It was like he was watching the most dreadful horror movie anyone could ever watch but the difference was that it was his own life playing in that horror movie.Droppel felt like his eyes were burning with sulfur as he looked at those pictures. They were very embarrassing pictures of moments with his wife and side chick. He wasn’t even aware of some of the moments that were captured in the photograph like that of his wife sleeping with another man. Water fell from his eyes without him being able to control it as his feet suddenly felt heavy.His face was a reddened flush and his posture was a drooping shame as heavy embarrassment weighed in on him. Some of the photographs that he looked at were things that he may probably never know about for the next 15 years. How could someone else know so many secrets about what was happening in his life that he didn’t know about?Robert, who w

    They didn’t even have to say any word further before Laimer rushed towards the car handle and flung the door wide open. It was as if the agent’s presence brought about the needed spark in their brain that they were waiting for.Laimer and his friends hurried their way into the vehicle and to their surprise, they met two men in suits with dark glasses seated in the front row - one in the driver’s seat and the other in the left side of the driver’s seat. They looked so tall and imposing even though they weren’t standing to show their full physical structure.The men in suit didn’t speak a word but their faces were commanding enough to put fear in their minds.Zonam soon forced open the truck door where Laimer and his friends had entered and sat by their side closest to the window as the fought person.His lips curled in a mocking smirk of condescension as his brows arched in a lift of contempt. “Oh, I see you are all so seated and comfortable here now. I love that.”He nodded his head i

    The whole vehicle went silent at the warning of the big man in a suit. His face was stern and imposing that they wouldn’t dare try to explore what he could do if they were rebellious - at least not with cuffs in their hands.Dwight, Zonam, and Uqaman reached the gate of the warehouse. It was a towering sentinel and a solid barricade that provided cover to the warehouse.They identified themselves as government regulators and got past the gate and into the office of the front desk clerk.“As we have said, we are government regulators and we want to inspect your inventory in line with the requirements provided by the law,” Dwight spoke, his voice clipped with measured tones of stern authority that carried weight.The three agents had files in their hands and their helmet was well placed on their heads as they made sure that they let out no clues into who they truly were. They knew that government agencies who were to inspect warehouses and inventories could always dress the same way th

    He was in a hurry to get things done quickly because he knew that it was going to be only a matter of time before the guards would discover that the public service system had been hacked.“When you get on the other side of the purple fence, just hang in there until we come to get you okay?”Jackson’s hands were large and measured, his touch gentle as he took Brody’s hands into his own.“Come on, I will show you the way and then you will complete the move,” Jackson’s voice was soft, his voice sincere as he was careful not to scare the boy with too much haste even though he was in a hurry and rightfully so.They crept until they got to the entrance which was just a few meters away from where they were. Jackson’s eyes were alert as he watched to see that there was no guard close to them that would impede their move.They hid behind the cars, creeping through the shadows with their eyes narrowed with a tense intent to get as far away from view as possible.Jackson then reached a point whe

    “Come on, let’s go. We can't just sit here and do nothing after all. We have to do something.”With a grim determination, the guards all filed out of the lobby one after the other, their footsteps resounding through the empty hallways.The tension was palpable in the air as their weapons glinted in the harsh fluorescent light.Their bodies were taut with adrenaline as they headed towards their destination.Alan’s face glimmered with a relieved twinkle of gratitude the moment he saw that the guards had all gone.He then whispered to Jackson. “Hey, Jackson. Call Fred now and tell him to his way to the purple fence area. That’s the easiest route out of here. Tell him to get there as quickly as possible. That’s where Brody would have to go meet him.”Brody was confused, his face darting left and right as he was trying to understand what Alan was saying.Where was he saying that he was going to go? Since when did the plan become that he was going to go somewhere?Alan crouched down, his fa

    “No one, I believe. You see what I am saying. What if they already got past this place and they are already heading outside.”“Think about it, I don’t think they would want to escape through the outside. Look at the way that they came in. We didn’t even know. None of us knew until they got to the top floor and killed two guards.”“It’s obvious they are trained so we have to think along the line of the fact that they are more than prepared for this.”“They probably outlined every step of the way before they came.”“Not probably, man. They did, it’s quite obvious.”“I guess it’s a draw right now. Mr. Lawrence already has one of them while they have gotten Brody.”“We must get back Brody, man. That’s the instruction. Mr. Lawrence has ordered a closure of all entry points right now and it is already in process. Everything must be on lockdown until Brody is found.”“We can’t afford to fool around.”“What if they are holed up in one of the offices? We should search each room systematically.

    Mr. Lawrence then moved his eyes closer to Della’s face to get a clearer view of what was going on.“Wait, what? You look familiar,” Mr. Lawrence’s eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing into Della with the intensity of a predator sizing up its prey.His expression was hardened as a cruel smile spread across his face.“You look awfully and strangely familiar I must say,” Mr. Lawrence remarked again.He wasn’t sure of whether to keep up with his suspicion or to ignore it. He was sure that there was something about her that was too strange to ignore.It dawned on him that the person that she traced her face to was actually that of Rose Billing, the same woman that he murdered.He paused once more and spoke. “I know who you are, don’t I?”Della’s lips curled very slightly by the side as if she was trying to give Mr. Lawrence the clue that he needed.And Mr. Lawrence picked up the clue. He was shocked by the resemblance that Della had with Rose and even though he tried to ignore it as nothing b

    “You are Brody, aren’t you?” Alan asked.The boy nodded in affirmation. Jackson’s grip on Brody’s hands loosened and Brody’s shoulders were relaxed gradually even though he knew subconsciously that there were most likely going to be some problems lying ahead.“I know you,” Brody spoke to Alan. “I saw you the other day when Mr. Lawrence killed Rose. You are Rose’s husband right?”Alan paused as if he was in a deep emotional thought before he then nodded.“Yes, I was.”It was a moment of reflection for both Alan and Brody as they both seemed to have missed Rose.Brody didn’t get to spend much time with Rose but it was obvious that the little time that he had spent with her was more than enough for him to miss her for a lifetime possibly.“And Della, the lady who texted on the phone. Are you her partner? Do you work with her? Where is she?” Brody asked.He was in a hurry to receive answers to his questions because he was still a little bit scared.“She is going to be with us soon, Brody

    The air seemed to thicken with tension, the silence broken only by the faint click of gun safeties being engaged.Alan then whispered into his radio, hoping that he was going to connect with Della. “Della, are you there? We are about to open fire on the guards who want to lock Brody in the basement. We are going to need backup, over.”That was all Alan needed to say and he believed that he had said enough already.They moved a few more steps with deadly precision, their footsteps soft and stealthy as they crept closer to the guards. They saw as the guards were shoving and dragging Brody and this time, they were going to lock him into the basement.They were no longer interrogating him about the phone because there were bigger issues to deal with.But Alan and Jackson thought that it was time to raise a response.The guards burst the basement door open and were prepared to shove Brody into a dark room but there was a sudden startling noise of gunfire.Pow! Pow!Boom!The hail of bulle

    Alan was just a few feet away hiding behind one of the pillars. The moment she saw the harsh slap that was performed against the boy, he gritted his teeth in frustration as he became provoked to cause a disruption.Why would they treat such a young boy like that? He had to hold and keep himself in check so that they would stay according to plan.But considering the way he was feeling, he wished that he could just start a gunfire right away. He began to rethink whether it was best to engage the guards with gunfire right away or if they should wait a while until Brody got locked in the basement and they would try to open it up.Just as he was still having a deliberation in his mind, the guards continued with their harsh treatment toward the boy.“Yeah, right, we are not stupid,” Guard two spoke. “Look at the faces of all of us standing here.”Brody’s face was still facing the ground as he was dealing with the harsh effect of the assault but he felt a hand shove his head back up so that

    Alan and Jackson froze in place, his breath caught in his throat as he clung himself to the wall. His heart pounded in his chest as he heard the guards’ footsteps growing closer.Time seemed to be very slow as the guards drew nearer, their footsteps echoing off the walls of the hallway but Alan gripped his weapon tightly just in case the situation was going to demand it.But as they got closer, two other guards joined them. They now seemed to be five and they were discussing.Alan and Jackson were picking up on their conversations.“The boss said to keep him in the basement.”“There are many ways that the boss can get the boy on his side. After all, he is his son. I don’t see why there should be an issue between them.”“The boy is a cool guy to me.”“This isn’t about whether he is a cool guy or not. We should listen to what the boss says.”“Come on, this is not to say that I wouldn’t listen to what he says. I am only telling you as a colleague that there is no need for being so harsh

    Fred was ready to go for it all. “If you need our main ID badge, my colleague can go them now. She will get mine too but I was hoping you would already know the company we are coming from. We already have a contract here.”The guard who was talking balderdash earlier scurried into the conversation. “But I haven’t seen you guys before. Especially the bright-skinned darling we have here. I would have known if I had seen her before.”Fred responded. “Well, we are not always the same and I am sure you already know that. Today, it is our shift to come to complete the repairs and as we said, we are actually running out of time.”“My colleague can quickly go and get the ID badges if that is what is delaying us from entry.”Fred was speaking with the hope that the guard was going to shrug off the situation and ask Della not to worry.But he needed to show that he wasn’t hiding something and the only way that he could do that effectively was to pretend as if everything was going fine and as ex
