Kellogg’s body became tense in an effort to answer the question as he turned his gaze towards Ms. Elaine. He sought to find a way out of the awkward situation but he knew that there was no way that he could avoid answering the question.“Erm, I was just passing when I found her in the hallway,” Kellogg finally responded.“Oh, so she just appeared from nowhere right?” Mayor Carney turned toward Ms. Elaine to show that the question was directed toward her.Ms. Elaine just stood frozen, her eyes staring blankly in confusion as she was devoid of words. There was nothing that she could say that would appease the mayor so it was best that she kept quiet.“Anyway, where is the recorder?” Mayor Carney asked.Ms. Elaine felt her pulse quickening as she realized the gravity of the question. Her mind was racing with a hundred possible answers to his question and her body trembled with effort.Ms. Elaine wasn't even sure of what Mayor Carney meant but she consoled herself with the relief that if

But she couldn't respond to his questions at that moment. She was in a very tense situation and peeping through every nook and cranny to find out where it was best to go through.Ms. Elaine’s footsteps were hurried as she paced through the shadows. She noticed that there was an elevator through which she had to go to reach the ground floor.The elevator was the easiest route because it was going to get her to the ground floor very quickly. She could also use the stairs but she didn’t want to risk any of the junior aides who had just been excused from Mayor Carney’s office to find her. She knew that they were going to ask her questions that she didn't have the time to respond to.Her body shook with fear and her feet carried her as swiftly and quietly as possible as she sought to stay hidden from view.She then tried to encourage herself with the thought that perhaps she shouldn't be so pressured. It wasn't like she was a criminal or something. The only thing that made her so intense w

Meanwhile, Irium’s face was beaming with a smile as she spoke. “But, Ma’am we are heading to the ground floor. You don’t have to go all the way here to get something when others could always get it for you. Perhaps I can help you get whatever you want Ma. Do you need any information from the reception department? I am always at your service.”Ms. Elaine’s words were tripping over themselves as she spoke, her hands clenched together in a bid to conceal her nervousness. “Oh, don’t worry dear. I am fine, I am good. I just need to do something real quick, thanks for the gesture.”Irium then went on her way, her gaze partially contorted with confusion as she wondered why the secretary would be on the ground floor at that time of the day. Ms. Elaine then found her way towards the security department where several watchmen were manning the gate.Ms. Elaine’s hands clenched tightly together as she approached the watchmen. She tried her best to keep her composure because she knew that she was

One of the watchmen took a step further, his hands clasped together as he tried to convince Ms. Elaine against going out all alone in the night. “Ma’am, it’s quite late in the night. Perhaps it’s not safe out there. One of us can always help you collect the file and —”Ms. Elaine cut him short immediately, her confidence increasing with each moment her desperation was heightened. “No! It’s a classified document. You should be experienced enough to know that some things are classified. Stop boring me with these kinds of ideas. I told you already - open up the door. I need to get a file real quick. I believe I don’t have to repeat myself.”The watchman’s lips parted in defeat as he realized that he had no convincing answer to Ms. Elaine. His hands clenched tightly together as he struggled to keep himself under control.Watchman Golan also had a resigned look on his face. He knew that he had tried his best even though it wasn’t his position to dictate what the secretary did or didn’t do.

Ms. Elaine's hands trembled with tension as she held the phone close to her ears, her eyes darting back and forth as she sought to find some way to keep herself safe while also waiting long enough for Alan to use whatever means he was using to track the phone call. She wondered how long she was going to wait there until someone came there to pick her up. She wondered how someone was even going to come there at that time of the night but she hoped that the wrong person doesn’t find her there. Her heart was beating with fear and apprehension as she weighed in on her decisions all over again.***Ms. Elaine finally found herself in Alan Greyson’s mansion at exactly 11:02 pm in the night. It was quite a very tough day for her because of everything she had to endure but there was some light at the end of the tunnel.She waited in the night for a little more than 30 minutes as Alan sent some of his private guards to go and pick up Ms. Elaine from the exact location where he had found her.

Alan only wanted to know if Elaine saw any signs of the gold that Mayor Carney stole. Alan figured that the cellar might be a good place for Mayor Carney to hide his gold.Elaine’s eyes burned with disgust as she tried to come up with a solid description of the cellar. “How will I describe it? It was quite dark anyway and filled with decay. The walls were rusty and I think I saw a coffin there. Yeah, or maybe two. They might be empty though I don’t know but the floor was also filled with broken glass and debris.”“The atmosphere was just very terrible Alan. It was the kind of place where a murder would take place and no one would know. Little wonder that the mayor would choose that kind of place to carry out his evil intention of murder and indeed I saw him kill your men terribly.”Alan’s brow furrowed with discomfort because Elaine was getting past the radar of what he wanted her to focus on at that moment.He pulled her explanation back again and spoke. “Wait, so you are saying that

Elaine continued. “I thought as much that this couldn't be something simple. I knew that the mayor was up to something but I wasn't quite sure what it was. Who would have thought that he wanted to steal from you and actually killed people to get it done.”“Anyways, you can continue your story. I am all ears,” Alan spoke.“Alright, from the cellar, I had to jump into the bush from where I was hiding because the officer and the mayor were close to finding me. I am lucky that they didn't find me hiding at the alley or else I might have been dead by this time.”“It was when I was at the bush that I put a phone call through to you to let you know about the situation but I eventually got past that spot.”“Did you meet him after then?” Alan asked.“Oh, yes, I did meet him and he yelled at me and everything but I didn't care anymore. Oh, although I pretended anyway. I pretended because he was asking for the recorder.”“The mayor had actually given me the recorder earlier because he wanted me

“What more assurance do you need?” Alan asked, his nostrils flared in anticipation and a slight frustration.Elaine shifted comfortably in her seat before speaking. “Erm, I need you to help me negotiate with Felix Lincoln that he should give me the secretary position in his team if we are to give him the recording.”“What?” Alan’s eyebrow furrowed. “Yes, of course, Alan,” Elaine responded. “I am trying not to sound selfish but if I am going to go through all this trouble, I have to get something out of it, don’t you think? I mean it's only fair that I get something from it.”Alan’s face crumpled with a deadly twist of exhaustion. It was already almost midnight and even though Elaine came in looking the tired one, it now seemed as if he was the exhausted one.Elaine spoke further in an attempt to convince Alan, her gaze narrowed with desperation. “I am not going to go jobless in a bid to destroy Mayor Carney, am I? I have to make sure that I do something to make sure that I am still r

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
