“But I assure you that I am heinous of the terrible crimes that I have been accused of.”

The crowd murmurs were rising every moment with an insistent force that left the mayor’s words sounding unconvincing.

Their mutterings were loud and a discontented whisper filled the atmosphere.

Many of them would need more than those empty words to convince them even if they wanted to so desperately believe that the mayor didn't do all that was leveled against him.

“What’s this supposed to mean?”

“Is he just coming out to outrightly deny everything?”

“What does he think we are? Fools? Id!ots? Dump people? Honestly, this is so embarrassing.”

“He is really lying openly without any shame.”

“He is a murderer. That’s what he is.”

“I wonder why he hasn't been arrested yet. The evidence was clear.”

“How did he even get to a position where he is allowed to contest for a governorship election? How did he win the primaries election?”

“Who knows how many other people he killed? He murdered his way to his p

    “You killed my cousin, Mayor.”“You killed my cousin! You don't deserve one more second of the oxygen you breathe!”“You deserve to be humiliated and killed most horribly.”“Murderer!”“You killed my cousin, you psychopath!”“You are going to die!”The protester’s words rose to a high pitch, his curses savage as he unleashed his fury at the mayor.His cousin’s name was Ralph - one of the miners who was killed by Grady, an assassin sent by Mayor Carney.The protesters had been so grieved since Ralph’s death. He took it as a responsibility to cater to Ralph’s little son, Dilan since the unfortunate incident.But he had never been able to grasp the fact that Ralph was actually no more. He couldn't understand why someone would be so cruel as to kill Ralph. What motive could someone have to do that?Ralph had always been a good man, perfect at his place of work and never looking for trouble. Why would the world not be kind to such a man?The protester retracted after being stopped by the

    ***Mayor Carney was led into the precinct doors, his footsteps heavy and slow as he was led into the heart of the building. The precinct was like a maze. It had many corridors and buildings with very harsh lights and concrete walls. The atmosphere was intense and closed-in, making the mayor feel trapped and alone. A big man who was supposed to be the governor in less than 48 hours now felt like a tiny fish in a big cold ocean.The cops positioned themselves on either side of the mayor as they took him to the interrogation room. Mayor Carney was already thinking of some of his connections who could shield him from this mess of a situation. How could someone who was bound to be governor be held in chains? It was absurd, to say the least. He turned towards one of the cops as they escorted him like a criminal.“Hello, officer, can I have my phone back? I really need to make a phone call. At least, I have a right to do that don't I?”The cops refused to respond to the mayor as they he

    He felt like he was trapped in his insanity. If he ever had a chance to get out, he was going to punish every single person who had gotten him into this situation starting from Alan Greyson and that b!!ch Elaine.Mayor Carney went back to his seat, his face buried between his hands as he swallowed in his suffering. Was he going to spend the whole of the night there? When exactly was all this going to end?The darkness was closing in on him each moment.Suddenly, the door flew open with a sudden, jarring noise, the mayor’s head jerking up in shock as he beheld the figure standing in the doorway. The lady’s silhouette was shrouded in the shadow, her features obscured by the dim light much to the intrigue of Mayor Carney.Mayor Carney felt a shrill force flow through his veins. Was that not—-?No! Elaine?!Mayor Carney’s eyes were wide with shock. The silence that ensued was a chaotic stillness of surprise as the mayor’s breath hitched delicately.“Oh, don't be so surprised. I was bound

    The mayor’s breath came in hot, ragged gasp and he felt like exploding once again but he knew that he was being monitored. Everything that was happening was part of a plan to humiliate him.It dawned on the mayor that someone else was responsible for the cops acting in such a violent manner towards him.It was normal that the cops would restrain him from touching Elaine but attacking him with fists and kicks the way they did had the elements of some sponsoring written all over it.He was in deep distractive thoughts for a moment and he figured out that Alan Greyson must be there somewhere in the precinct. He had probably come with Elaine. How the cops attacked him spelled that it was either personal or a sponsored attack. Since the cops actually had enough reason to bully the mayor, they wouldn't hesitate to throw their punches at him like they already did.Mayor Carney spat, his eyes gleaming with hatred as he glared at the woman. “You think you already won but you won't get the

    “How did that feel, eh?” Alan’s words were filled with hilarious humor. “How did it feel when you had your tail in between your legs and had to run from the debate hall? I tell you the truth - I have never racked my throat with laughter like that before.”Mayor Carney’s face was tight with anger as he folded his fists together. All he needed was an occasion to get some revenge on Alan.He recalled that he still had the gold so he still had an advantage in the grand scheme of things, Mayor Carney thought.“You can whine all you want but don’t forget that I still have the gold,” Mayor Carney spoke in defiance, his tone laced with contempt as he taunted Alan as well. “The gold is still with me and we both know the worth of the gold. You can never get that no matter how hard you try.”In truth, the gold being with Mayor Carney meant that Alan still had a lot of work to do. He wouldn't have avenged the miners if he didn't get the metric tons of gold from the mayor.“Hah! We will see abou

    The officers’ movements were tense and decisive as they sprung to their feet, their eyes cold and merciless as they closed around Mayor Carney.“Hey, hey, what’s going on? Where are you taking me to? I should know where I am being taken to, shouldn't I?” Mayor Carney’s voice was hitched with tension.“Sir, we are transporting you to the prison unit immediately. Due to popular demand, a charge has been placed against you, and with the advent of the courts being on break, we cannot take you to court right now,” the other officer explained, his eyes fixed on the mayor.“You will have to spend some time in jail - maybe a week or two before your first appearance in court.”The cops didn’t wait for the mayor to have the opportunity to speak again before they yanked him off his chair with a resolute force, their readiness a potent and intimidating force that left the mayor feeling uneasy.“It’s time for a mugshot, big man,” Officer Barney mocked.Mayor Carney was a broken, defiant man as he

    “No, officer. I already said that I want to make this as peaceful as possible. I don't want us to have any issues and this doesn't have to be difficult at all.”Officer Barney's brow furrowed in deep thought, his expression pensive and serious as he considered the implications of heeding Jamie’s request.He turned back to have a little discussion with his colleagues, his deliberation a potent force that showed that he was analytical in his attempts.After having a brief whisper with his colleagues, he returned to Officer Jamie.“I would like to see some identification by all the members of your team first before I release him.”Officer Jamie didn't have a problem with the request. He scoffed and then signaled to the other officers in his team that they should each show their identity cards.Each of the officers in Officer Jamie’s team then showed their identity cards in a bid to convince Barney that they were real cops. Officer Barney inspected each other the officer one of the other.

    Officer Barney also entered the van together with Alan and one other officer as they headed into the prison unit to offload Mayor Carney.It was a big day in the state as the news reporters were reporting about the mayor already being transported to the prison unit on the eve of the election date.Many were trooping with massive support for Felix Lincoln who had automatically become the favorite to win the elections.The mayor was left to shreds by many after they saw all the evil that he had done. Many even believed that he deserved a much worse fate than being imprisoned especially because of the innocent miners that he killed.Many believed that he deserved to die as well and there was already a rumor about a plan for a subtle protest just to put pressure on the judiciary to do the right thing about justice for the miners.Mayor Carney was a pitiful, broken figure as he was escorted into the prisoner transport van. His body trembled in fear as he was forced to don the humiliating,

    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
