ONCE I LEAVE HERE George was in his bedroom, sitting on the edge of his bed, leaning against the wall, and smoking a cigarette. He had an ashtray in front of him and several lots of cigarette butt's in it.There was a big bottle of Heineken on the floor, emptied.A stack of papers were on the table that were waiting to be attended to, but none of them were opened.Ever since George returned from the burial of his father, he had not been himself.He had resorted to smoking packs of cigarettes and taking at least a bottle of Heineken daily.Tracy had been worried and tried to talk him into stopping, although it was only about a day now.George had lost touch with the world and was now behaving somehow abnormally; at least, that is what everyone thoughtGeorge was taking puffs from his cigarette with a smile on his face.As he sat ‘enjoying’ his smoke, Tracy walked into the room..She nearly choked from the smell in the room but quickly comported herself and walked in.“ We need to ta

MONEY IS POWER.Jack glanced at his time as he ate.It was almost time to go pick up Jane from work, and he had not eaten anything after the breakfast he had with Jane.Right after he returned from his mission, he had been utterly busy with so many files from work he had to attend to. He was already exhausted, but he knew he had to do it.As he enjoyed his meal, a call came in on his phone.Jack stared at the screen and smiled as he saw the caller.He answered the call and placed the phone to his ear.“ Hello,” He said.“ Hello, good afternoon sir, do you have a minute please, there is an important information” the caller said “ I am listening man, what is going on?” Jack asked. “ Well, sir, we are ready now. Everything is settled, and we have come to an agreement, I think we can proceed with the works now” the caller said.“ That means we have to wait for a few days before we embark on this.We should leave at least two days in it, to make it look less suspicious, then we can begin

AN IDEA“ If you have those skills, why then don't you go to your father's house and beat all the guards and everybody, including your cousin, and take everything away from them?” Jane asked with curiosity in her tone.Jack let out a short smile.“ It does not work that way, dear. We learn martial arts not to fight people but to defend ourselves.Besides, if I beat George and his men and they leave, I am still not the owner of the properties.The documents of the house are now in his name, and that means he is still the owner.That means the only way I can get it back is by getting the items transferred to me” Jack replied.Jane kept quiet and looked at Jack.Jack then remembered something and continued.“ Talking about my cousin and his stuff, there is some good news here. Everything I planned is on course now, and we are on the verge of winning.I know that in a week by this time, I will be with my properties.” Jack said.Jane looked at him with suspicion.“ What did you do this ti

SENSE OF FREEDOMAlfred walked out of the house and onto the compound with his backpack tucked firmly on his back.He walked hurriedly towards the exit.As he got to the gate, he was approached by the security.“ Excuse me, sir, sorry, but you can not go out. Your father has instructed me not to allow you” the security said politely.Alfred looked at the man with a serious face.“ I just got off the phone with him.The man who came in came with something and I needed to go deliver it with somebody else.I just spoke to him a few minutes ago, and you can call him to confirm.” Alfred said with a stern face.The security man saw the seriousness in Alfred’s face and knew there was no need to call anyone to confirm.He quickly apologized to Alfred and opened the door for him.Alfred smiled widely and walked out.Getting outside, Alfred contemplated which part route he was going to take, and after a few seconds, he took one.He knew his father might get home very soon, and

THE THEIF.Alfred was led to his room, and he settled in.He sat on the bed in the vast bedroom with a smile on his face.He had the backpack on his laps and was staring at wuth a smile on his face.He knew his father was going to lose it when he found out that he (Alfred) had run away with the money.Yet, Alfred cared less.At least he was rich now, and could do whatever he liked, it was better for him to be a free rich man hated by his father, than live in his father's house and be ignored everyday, kept in the house like a prisoner.Now Alfred began to think of what he was going to do with the money.He pondered on the ideas he had for a moment until he settled on one.He planned on leaving the country after his stay in the hotel was over, so he could go live his life in a far away country.And the five days was enough for him to get himself ready for his travel.As he thought about this, finally settling on that idea, another struck him.He remembered Tracy and how she left him fo

THE CHANGE IN COUNTENANCEThe next morning, Jack's Mansion.Jack and Jane were having their breakfast. They were getting ready to go to the court to witness the proceedings and judgment of the mayor.They had had a late breakfast because the time to appear in court was a bit farther away than the normal time Jane was supposed to report to work.At the table, Jane and Jack were discussing what was really going to happen in the courtroom.Jane was a bit nervous that something bad was going to happen, but Jack was certain that it was not going to happen.“ How many years do you think he is going to be served?” Jane asked Jack.“I don't really know that much about law but from the recent news they made about his charges, he had seventeen charges and he was likely to be jailed for a minimum of fifty five years, and now there are two more charges, that means he could go for a minimum of more than sixty years” Jack replied.“ Whoah, I think that is really serious. He might end up dying in

A CUFFED MANHoneyMoon Hotel, That same morning.Alfred woke up from his bed with a huge smile on his face after a peaceful sleep.He had never felt comfortable in his entire life before, talking more of having such a good night's rest.Alfred checked the time on the wall clock, and it was already 8am.He stretched lazily as he sat up on the bed, smiling in the process.The sense of being free and being rich at the same time was overwhelming to him.Although his father was able to cater for him and all his expenses, he was not as rich as Alfred wanted him to be.All his life, Alfred moved with rich people like George and Jack, and that made him experience how the life of the rich people was.He just wished his father could be one of those men, but it was just not possible.Because of his constant movement with rich people, his taste for expensive things became insatiable, and he was always not on good terms with his father just because his father could not provide for his needs.Now,

IMAGINATION AGAINST REALITYAlfred was led away into the police car by two of the police men.They put him in the police car and only one of the policemen sat with him in the back.Soon, they were all set on the road and heading towards the police station, back in the city they had come from.Alfred's car had three policemen. The driver, one of the men sitting in the front seat, and the third policeman sitting right beside him.A lot was going on in Alfred's mind.He knew very well that he had messed up big time.At first, he thought he could just plead with his father for mercy, but from what his father had said to him earlier, he was sure that he was in deep trouble.His father's words kept ringing in his ears like a bell.“..... You can always run, but you are not good enough to hide.I wanted to give you a last chance, but you threw it away in the trash.I know I can no longer trust you again.I knew you to be so many things, but theft was never one of them.Anyways, you remembe
