THE BIRTH OF A NEW ONEJack walked out of the office and joined his men in the car.They drove fifteen minutes to the oil field.When they got there, they were just about extracting the oil out of the ground.Jack and his men stood and watched as the people worked.He had a wide smile on his face as they worked.Immediately, the oil came out through the tubes. They all clapped in amazement.The oil was coming out the exact way and the quantity they had expected.All of the workers rejoiced in applause and shouts of joy as they saw the oils coming out.The oils were transported into the cars and began moving to the refinery.Jack and his men were around looking as the car moved.From this place to the refinery was only about a five minutes drive.The cars were already on their way there, going to start with the refinery of the oils they had just mined.Jack and his crew stood around the minefield for about five minutes.When they came out, the media men and women were already there with
IN A COMFORTABLE LEADGeorge’s father walked out of the living room and headed out. George stood up from his seat and began pacing up and down the room.Jack was soon going to be a stumbling block in his life.Ever since, he took over the care of the family business and the management of the family.There had been glitches upon glitches in the businesses.Everybody knew it was his fault, but nobody dared say it.He was a ruthless and autocratic leader, and everyone around him was trying so hard not to hurt him, with words, including his father.He had little to no idea about the whole business, but his hunger for power, coupled with his fathers support and pride, made him take over as the successor of Jack's father.Even after he took power, his father had advised him to take a class on how to manage the place, but he was still hesitant. Only after his father’s persuasion did he accept, with the condition that the tutor would come to his house and teach him.The tutor had only started
THE GAME SYSTEMWednesday Morning, JACKALLISTER PremisesJack was in his office interviewing the few applicants together with Mr David.His company was running smoothly, and they needed more helping hands in the company.He had picked a few applicants from the LinkedIn site and had enlisted them for an interview that day.They had already begun with their sales in the oil fields, and they were already making a lot of profits.Although it had only been a day they had begun with their supplies, they had made a lot of improvements in it. Now, all he needed was to get more staff in his company.He now had about eighty- five staff. Now he needed a few more, and he was planning to take about twenty more .Even in all this, he was working on only one of his oil fields.He had about four oil fields in total.He had a warehouse and a refinery for each of the oil fields, and now, he was only operating on one of them.Jack had his reasons for not opening a
THE HOMELESS JACKBefore Jack took up a job as a cleaner in the restaurant, he was homeless and wandering before he was able to secure a job.He met in his homelessness, a young girl who helped him when he nearly died.He had a plan to go find the girl and repay her kindnessHe sat down on a couch as he thought about the lady.************THROWBACK TO CHAPTER 3.…..Jack left his girlfriend's house and came outside.He stood there and looked at the entrance of the house.He knew he had nowhere else to go, and it was already getting dark.He had to get a place to spend the night and then think of what he was going to do next.He had no idea where he could go, but he walked down the lonely road.It was a Sunday evening, and everywhere was deserted.After walking on the lonely road, thinking about his plight and his current situation, he had an idea where he was going to go and spend the nightHe was only about a kilometer away from the subway, and he thought of it as a place where he
A HELP FROM A STRANGERJack woke up to the constant ache he felt in his back, coupled with the creaking noise the bench He slept on was making.He opened his eyes slowly and looked around as he sat up.He could feel his whole body aching seriously.And it was itching, too. He needed to take a bath to clear it off.He had no idea where he could see a washroom to use one.Be took his phone and checked his time.It was 5 am.The people who had spent their nights at the subway were already preparing to leave.The food vendors around were getting ready to set up their business to be able to meet their early customers.And the whole place was getting busy once again.He was beginning to smell, and he needed to get a shower as quickly as he could.He looked around and saw a gentleman who had just folded a piece of cloth into his bag.He was one of those who spent the night at the subway, too.Jack stood up from his seat and walked towards him." Good morning sir, please do you by any means kn
HE LOST HIS MINDJack walked back to the subway, thinking about his life at that time.He heard the hoot of the train from far away, and that meant the train would be there soon.He quickened his steps so he could get there on time.He wanted to catch the train so he could make it to the bank very early.That way, he was going to empty his bank accounts even before George had time to call for it to be blocked.Twenty minutes later, Jack was on the train, heading towards the bank premises.He was quietly sitting at a corner in the train playing his game.He played a little more, and his phone displayed the low battery notification.He stopped playing the game and focused on the road.He was looking outside in a window, but his mind was not settled.He was thinking about his plight and how he was going to get settled.One thing that calmed his mind was knowing that he could get his money from the bank that day.He prayed that he would get there in time to withdraw it before George would
THE MAN ON THE TRAIN Jack got to the train station just in time to meet the train that was going back to the subway he had commuted from earlier. He went in and sat at a corner. He was thinking about his life and how miserable he had become. To while away his time on the train, he began playing the game on his phone. Immediately he began playing, he fantasized about converting the coins he had gained in the game to real world money. As much as he had his doubts as to whether or not it would work, he began the process. He had his fair share of doubts but he knew he had nothing to lose if he was not able to do as he had planned. Afterall, he was already poor and homeless. He began using his skills in hacking to work on the game. He was able to enter into the database of the game and changed some things there. Finally, he got to a point where he was supposed to enter his bank account in a box. He had successfully b
REDUNDANT 23 Jack opened his eyes to the constant beeping he was hearing. His vision was blurry and he could barely see anything at first, but it cleared after a few seconds. He looked at what he could see, it seemed like an environment he had never seen before. He could see a white ceiling with mild light all over. And from where he laid, he could hear the constant beep of something from his side. He tried to raise up his hand but felt he some pains on wrist and that made him stop trying He slowly turned his head around and viewed where the sound was coming from. He saw some machines beside him of which he soon recognised it to be a heartbeat monitor. He saw a drip beside and realized it was that which caused him the pain in the hand when he tried to raise it up forcefully At that moment he realized where he was, IN A HOSPITAL. He wondered what he was doing there and what had brought him there. He looked back up and tri
AFTER THE SENTENCEAfter the audio ended, everywhere in the room went quiet.Jack had a wide smile on his lips.Alfred looked shocked as he gave Jack a deadly stare. He knew he was not in a position to say anything at that point, and whatever he said at that time would not be considered.The judge went on to speak.“ We have heard your piece of evidence counsel, however, I don't think it is going to alter our judgment today looking at the fact the accused have already pleaded guilty to all the accusations levelled against them, and the details of the audio happen to be one of them.However, his property will be confiscated and handed over to the state, who will decide what to do. Now, before we pronounce judgment, does anyone have anything to say?” the judge repeated his earlier question.The whole room went silent for a while until the judge spoke again.“ Okay, after reviewing all the evidence provided, and listening to the accused and their statements, here is the court's ruling Fo
PLAN WORKEDVery soon, they would enter the city and would be transported to the police station.They were on the busy highway, but the cars were all moving at top speed.Alfred slowly looked at the policemen sitting next to him.He was a bit unaware. Alfred slowly directed his cuffed hands to the car door.He heaved a heavy sigh, pushed the locker to open the door, and dived out of the car in a split second.Everything happened so fast that he did not have time to think of what to do next.The moment he fell out of the car, he could feel pain in his whole body, and within another split second, he saw a car coming towards him at top speed.Alfred screamed out his lungs loudly in fear as if his shouts were going to stop the car from coming towards “ NOOOOOO” He could hear the car tyres screeching loudly on the road, but it was useless; the car was already close, and he had no time to run.Apparently, when Alfred threw himself out on the road, he sustained serious injuries, but he co

CRIMES SPELLED OUT“... Jack was left devastated and had to find somewhere to go. The only place he could go was his girlfriend's house.Alfred and Tracy knew the day was the very day Jack was going to be thrown out of his house, and as a win for them, they were celebrating in Tracy’s apartment.Jack walked in on the two and was broken-hearted and left the house.Now, Jack was out of the picture and no one heard from him ever again.Everybody is happy.George was now the new boss.

THE STARTLED TRIOJack followed Newman as they walked into the inner room.They tiptoed slowly as they made their way to the first door in the room.Voices could be heard in the room as the trio enjoyed their breakfast.Newman turned around and pointed at the smoke releaser on Jack's belt.Jack understood the assignment at once and took it out. He handed it over to Newman, but to his surprise, Newman did not throw it nor activate it, instead, he buckled it on his belt.“ Guys, we have twenty-five minutes on the clock.” Max's voice came in on the line.“Okay, Roger that” Emry was also heard on the line.Neither Jack nor Newman spoke.Newman turned and whispered at Jack.“ Masks on now. We barge in the room on three. My count” Newman said and turned again, facing the door.He raised three fingers in the air, reduced to two, and then one.Jack pulled his mask up to cover his face except his eyes held his guns well and positioned them well.Newman kicked the door as hard as he could and e
PREPARATION FOR WARNewman opened his bag again and took out a small bug. He dropped it on the motorbike.Jack recognised the bug at once as the one he had used when he was going to capture the mayor.He heaved a sigh as he looked at Newman doing his work.Newman took the bug controller and started it.The bug came to life and began wheezing almost inaudibly.“ The bug is ready Max” Newman spoke into the microphone.“ Screen activated on my side. Begin movement” Max's voice came on the line.Newman began controlling the bug and it moved upwards.Newman directed it towards the building ahead and it went.As he directed the bug with the controller, Max gave him orders on what he was supposed to do and where he was supposed to navigate the bug.“ Slow down, I can see someone in sight …. This is the side of the building, only one person there …. Go left … go up a bit …. left again …. up … now stay at one place …. I can see two other men. You are at the front now.It's only a single door …
BORN READY: TIME FOR ACTIONJack opened his eyes slowly to the morning sunlight.He looked beside him and realized that Jane was lying beside him.That meant he had slept more than usual.He stretched lazily on the bed and sat up.Picking up his phone, he realized that it was already 7 am.He stood up, and without going to the bathroom, he quickly walked out of his room.He met Jane at the door.“ Oh, you are awake. I was just about to come call you for breakfast” Jane said.Jack nodded.“ Good morning “ he greeted Jane.“ Good morning. How was the night?” Jane asked with a smile as she turned around.They both made their way to the dining table.“ well…. Not bad, except I do feel like I could use a few more minutes of sleep” Jack confessed.“ You look tired. You didn't sleep very early last night.you can go catch some more sleep after having your breakfast” Jane replied.They both sat at the dining table. After breakfast, Jack went back inside, and this time, he went to take his sh
THE SECRET TEXTJack and Jane were seated at the table having dinner.Jack was briefing Jane about his day, explaining how he got to know that George had escaped from police custody.Jane was scared and pointed out clearly to Jack that she was sure George was going to come after them Jack just smiled and brushed it off.“ Just leave this to me. I have everything under control. Everything will end very soon” Jack reassured Jane.Although she was not convinced of Jack's reassurance, she only nodded, with fear in her heart.After dinner, Jack sat in the living room with Jane.Jane was watching the evening news while Jack worked on his laptop He was checking the reports of work on his companies, cross-checking their finances to see if the accountant had not made any mistakes.As the news progressed, They soon began talking about a young man who had just escaped police custody.They both knew at once that the person in question was George.Jack paused what he was doing and focused on the
