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

***Back at Mayor Carney’s residence, there was a thick air of commotion as the mayor wondered what was going on with Elaine. He had told her to get a recorder and it was already almost 15 minutes and yet she had not come back.Mayor Carney tapped his foot to the ground impatiently, the sound of his shoe hitting the floor as his anger continued to build.He was already thinking about how he was going to hurl insults at Elaine when she finally showed up. He glanced at his wristwatch and huffed in frustration as his gaze narrowed.Mayor Carney found out that it was already almost 20 minutes and Elaine had still not returned. He had asked a few junior staff to go check her office and they all returned with the same report that she wasn’t at her duty post.Mayor Carney tapped his hand on the table with ferocious anger as he spoke. “Why would I try to call my secretary and she wouldn't heed my call? When did she start becoming so proud that she can’t even regard me as her boss anymore.”Ma

Irium wondered if she was right to talk to the mayor. What if she ended up putting Ms. Elaine in trouble through her talking? What if the right thing was to take some time to analyze the situation on her own first?“I don’t know, sir. I only saw her get into the ground floor lobby and I went on my way,” Irium responded. “What did you see her with? Did you see her with maybe a bag or something?” Mayor Carney asked, his eyes burning with anger.“She was with a small purse that’s all,” Irium spoke. “She also looked so tense now that I think about it.”Irium wondered again if she had not spoken more than she should.Mayor Carney drummed his fingers on the table, his lips moving silently as she tried to get some clues as to what was really going on.“What’s your name again?” Mayor Carney asked.“Irium, sir.”If Elaine went to the ground lobby could it be that something else was at play and she was scared because she had done something terrible? Could it be that she wasn't on his side? Ma

Kellogg’s body was paralyzed with terror as he realized that he was in over his head. Mayor Carney had sieved every possible membrane from his body and he was left with nothing but to stare in awe.“Just look at him,” Mayor Carney’s eyes flashed with disdain. “You are so foolish that you let her deceive you into refusing to tell me. I’m still coming back for you. I’m not done with you but I think I know where to go now.”“I think I might have an idea where the b!tch headed to but I don’t want to believe that the watchmen are as foolish as you are. It better not be!”Mayor Carney clutched his hands together in front of him before turning his gaze to his other aides. He pointed at three of his aides in a quick gesture and motioned for them to follow him immediately.The three aides quickly took to their feet and followed behind the mayor, their faces filled with terror as they wondered who the next person was that the mayor was going to humiliate.The mayor stormed through the stairs, h

Officer Rostos’ expression was a tightening grimace of concern. What exactly had happened to make the mayor think that way?Mayor Carney heaved a sigh and then continued his speech. “You remember we were here not long ago, don’t you?”“Yes, of course, boss, I remember. That would be almost two hours ago now,” Officer Rostos responded.“You remember when Elaine walked in here, right?” Mayor Carney asked again, sweat beading from his face as he sought to seek out the missing puzzle.“Yes, boss,” Officer Rostos responded. “I was actually surprised that she came all the way here when she knew that it was a restricted area. I thought she wanted to give you a file though but she deserves to be punished for breaching the rules.”Mayor Carney heaved another difficult sigh. “Do you know that Elaine is missing right now?”Officer Rostos’ eyebrow furrowed again in wonder. “Missing? Did someone take her hostage?”A smug smile escaped from Mayor Carney’s lips. “At this point, I wished someone took

Rostos’ words were dripped with mockery as he taunted his Chester with a loud growl.“Chester!” Baldwin growled. “I am sure you know why we are here. Just come out now and we get to end this. We don’t have much time to spare.”The assassins kept walking around and searching various parts of the apartment as they climbed the stairs. They were like a pack of wolves as they overturned every piece of furniture and destroyed the plastic pieces of equipment.Their footsteps echoed through the halls and the sound of their boots on the ground highlighted their swiftness and readiness to find their victim.“Chester, it’s going to be a complete waste of time if you insist on doing this,” Rostos yelled, his voice reverberating through the walls.He observed the room and there was awfully no sound coming from anywhere. Their eyes darted around all the corners of the room as they wondered if Chester was truly not in the apartment.Rostos and Baldwin exchanged confused glances as they wondered if

“Yes, boss,” Rostos responded. “We checked everywhere but there was nothing.”“Come on, Rostos. You know I don't like news like this. Ransack the whole area again and call me back while I try to reach out to my men in Nicholas’ house to see what the situation is.”Mayor Carney then hung up the phone call, allowing for an opportunity that Rostos and Baldwin to try again in their efforts to find Chester.Rostos and Baldwin shared a defeated look as they slumped their shoulders in the weight of their vain efforts.Rostos checked his wristwatch and saw that the time that they allocated to complete the operation was already only two minutes left. It was supposed to be a very swift operation but it hadn't looked like a swift one so far.“What are we going to do now?” Baldwin asked his colleagues.“I guess we are just going to give it one last try,” Rostos responded even though he didn't have much belief that their effort was going to yield much fruit.The assassins swept through the apartme

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
