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. Th
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.
It was clear that the mayor needed an avenue through which he could release his anger and landing a slap each on the watchmen’s faces was the best way he could achieve that in that moment.The watchmen also made it easy as they didn't hide their faces from the mayor but instead stood alert to receive their punishments.“You all are lucky that I will have to stop for now so that I can attend the governorship debate,” Mayor Carney’s teeth were bare with anger. “We are not done with this. I need to prepare for this debate and that is the only reason why I haven't done worse to you all.”***The air was charged with the electricity of political combat as the audience sat in tense silence.Everyone had been anticipating the governorship debate for quite a while now because it would allow each of the candidates to really show why they were better suited for the elections.The room buzzed with a low murmur of anticipation as their bodies were rigid with nervous energy. Journalists swarmed t
Mayor Carney’s eyes twinkled with a sparkle of pride as he raised a hand at his lively supporters. His pride was a silent fortress of arrogance as he laughed hysterically. The taste of temporary triumph was definitely sweet to his soul and all of a sudden, he forgot about the disappointment he had to face with being unable to find Elaine. His anger at the watchmen all seemed to have disappeared and he felt like the proudest man on earth.Mayor Carney’s thrill was a potent force that left him visible. He felt like nothing was in his way anymore.The host of the event, Oprah Povac then took control of the stage as she turned towards Mayor Carney.“So, Mayor, the floor is yours now.”Mayor Carney adjusted his suit, his body language straight and confident as he held court on the stage. “Alright, Mr. Felix Lincoln, I believe that you worked as the minister of welfare development for three years.”“But as we all know you recently experienced a delicate scandal which till today you have r
Was Mr. Felix really serious or was he just trying to get back at the mayor for the accusations he received earlier? Was he seriously saying that the Mayor was a murderer?Their disbelief was powerful and overwhelming and even Felix’s supporters in the crowd started to wonder if he was in his right mind.‘That was such a huge statement to make and Felix better have some evidence to back up such an assertion,’ some of his supporters reasoned.Mayor Carney’s expression hardened with a deadly tightening of annoyance. His gaze shifted to the host as he sent her a facial expression as if warning her to tell Felix to restrain from such ridiculous assertions.But even Ms. Oprah Povac waited a few more seconds even when she knew that the debate seemed to be getting out of hand. She was curious as to whether Felix actually knew what he was talking about.It was clear that Mayor Carney was alone in defending himself at that moment so he quickly interrupted Felix.“Mr. Felix, are you aware that
