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 really hoped that he was going to exercise swift revenge on Alan Greyson. He wanted to return to his usual election business and didn't expect the issue of assassinating the other miners to linger in the air. Now, he had assassins littered in two different houses who couldn’t complete their tasks.He knew that there was always that possibility that Elaine had teamed up with Alan Greyson and the latest report sort of proved that it was the truth, unfortunately.He hung up the phone call abruptly to vent his frustration some more. He started to trace the events that happened in the recent hours right from the moment that Elaine entered the annex room without knocking on the door.Mayor Carney started suspecting that perhaps Rostos was right and it wasn't a mistake that Elaine entered the annex room. It was two times that she got into the annex room - the second time being the moment that Kellogg confessed to catching her there.But what exactly could she be looking for in the annex r

    He wanted to move forward with his colleague but he signaled that they wait a bit and assess the situation first before walking over to take the bike. They were sure of the spot where the bike was and it wasn't difficult to know that something had happened, something quite strange.Rostos assessed his surroundings once more, his eyes narrowed in suspicion as he noticed something quite abysmal.His heart rate quickened the moment that he caught a hidden figure behind a barricade. His instincts were on high alert and he knew that whoever it was, it couldn't possibly mean anything good.The man behind the barricade was with a camera that was pointed towards the assassins. Rostos noticed it because a very faint flashlight shone in front of him. He knew at once that they had been trapped and the purpose of the action was to expose them in a bid to hurt Mayor Carney. It became clear to Rostos, especially at that point that it was Elaine that was behind their failure in getting Chester ass

    Orello soon noticed that something was coming from the rearview mirror.“Shit!” Orello screeched in terror. “They are coming closer.”The cameramen had their eyes widened with panic as they sought to keep their composure. Their hearts pounded against their chests and their mind raced with disbelief.They couldn't believe that they were actually in a race for their lives. It was still like a dream to them but they knew that they had better drive as fast as possible or risk losing their lives.Fisher kept turning his head backward to know how far they were away from the assassins on bikes but he saw that things weren't looking so good. “Orello, drive faster!” Fisher screamed in terror. “Come on, man. How much faster can I be?” Orello queried, his hands gripping the stirring wheel in tension.“Just move faster!” Fisher yelled again.The streets were a mask of confusion as everyone wondered what was going on. They knew that it wasn't good though but they couldn't identify the men in mas

    ***Alan Greyson was welcomed at Felix Lincoln’s campaign headquarters. The campaign headquarters was a bustling hub of activity, its walls plastered with posters, banners, and maps.Even a blind person would know that something was cooking in that kind of environment and this time it wasn't food but something more reminiscent of power.Felix Lincoln was a close candidate and another favorite to win the governorship election aside from Mayor Carney.Felix had his supporters and many of them were loyal to him. The issue was that he needed to draw many others to his side to gain more numbers. The air in the headquarters building was charged with the energy of the team as they worked tirelessly to secure their candidate’s victory.In one of the rooms, a row of men and women sat crowded behind computers with their screens filled with data, spreadsheets, and other information. All hands were on deck to ensure that Felix Lincoln won the elections.Alan was welcomed into one of Felix’s off

    If the recording went public, it could pose a huge threat to Mayor Carney’s chances of winning the elections. The voice was clear and it was unmistakenly that of Mayor Carney.It felt like a dream to Felix to have uncovered such very crucial evidence against Mayor Carney that would taint his election chances and give him the upper hand in the elections. Felix was staring at his election mandate and he tried his best to maintain composure. At a time like this, such information being leaked was going to do wonders for him, he reasoned.Alan relished the look on Felix's face as it highlighted his sense of authority the more. He was bent on proving to Felix that he indeed had the key to turning the tides completely in his favor.“Who are the two men anyways,” Felix asked.“They are my men and they were killed by Felix Lincoln,” Alan responded. “That is all you need to know for now.”“And are they dead? Did they die?”“Oh, yes they did.”“So sorry about that,” Felix offered his condolence

    He knew that it was quite fair that Elaine would want a position in his cabinet but he wondered if it was the right decision to make because he had already assigned members of his cabinet and had made it public.He heaved a difficult sigh and then spoke. “Mr. Greyson, I understand your concerns and I think it is fair that Ms. Levron would want a position in my cabinet but those who are going to be part of my team are already ascertained and revealed to the public.”“If there is going to be a change, it is definitely going to draw a lot of controversy.”Alan’s eyebrow furrowed wildly as he spoke. “Yeah, it might draw a few controversies but I am sure that those controversies would be swallowed by the scandal that the mayor would have to face. You know politics very well and I am sure you can always find your way around these kinds of situations.”Felix spoke with a quiet humility, his voice low and subdued as he admitted that Alan was saying the truth. “Well, you are probably right.

    Rostos figured that the right decision was to deploy all the resources into looking for Elaine first before trying to exact revenge on Alan but when he told the mayor, he didn't listen to him. He wished the mayor had listened to his advice but they were now in a worse situation than they had found themselves initially.All they could do was hope that the pictures that were taken of them weren't going to go far but the chances of that happening was quite low.There was still a missing link though and they needed to find Elaine to know what the missing link was. Rostos was in deep thought as he thought of how he could salvage the situation. Taking pictures of them outside Chester’s house wasn't so much of an evidence if she didn't have something else to back her up with.Could it be that it wasn't even Alan that Elaine teamed up with? Was something else at play? Rostos was quite confused and didn't know what to think anymore.Mayor Carney on the other hand was still livid with anger.

    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
