A NEW BEGINNING

A knock came on the door, followed by a voice.

" Room service please".

He walked to the door and opened it.

It's was a young lady in her uniform.

She was pushing a small trolley.

Jack ushered her in..

The lady came in and stopped the trolly, pulling out a foldable table from the trolley.

She quickly set a table for him and walked out of the room.

Jack sat down and enjoyed his food.

After he had eaten and the table had been cleared on order.

He opened his backpack and took out a new mobile phone and a new sim card.

He inserted the new sim card In to the phone and switched it on.

Then he took a number from his old phone.

He dialled the number on his mew phone and placed the phone to his ear.

The call was answered at once.

" Hello, George McAllister, on the line, how may I help you?" He heard George's voice from the other end.

He heaved a sigh and cleared his throat

" George McAllister, your doom is near, I am coming for you," He said in a hoarse voice and ended the call.

The voice he used in speaking was a totally different one from his own voice.

He switched off the phone and took off the sim card.

Then he laid on his back on his bed and picked up his old phone.

He opened the game and played.

It had now become his work to enjoy himself by playing the game.

He played the game for minutes until he lost consciousness of himself.

*********

Jack opened his eyes slowly as he stretched himself leisurely on the bed.

He heaved a sigh as he fully opened his eyes and looked around.

He remembered he was in the hotel.

He sat up and looked around properly.

His phone was right beside him.

He realised he had slept off while he was playing the game.

He felt refreshed and new now.

He had not had such a good and refreshing night sleep in a long time.

He looked at his phone clock and realised it was 6 am in the morning.

He remembered dozing around 7 pm the previous evening

He had been sleeping for eleven straight hours.

He smiled at himself as he looked around.

He stood up and entered the bathroom..

Emerging minutes later, he had a towel wrapped firmly on his waist as he stood in came out and stood in front of the dressing mirror.

He looked at himself in the mirror with a smile, and then he shook his head.

He realised he had gone lean for    just the three days he had suffered.

it had taken a great toll on his physical, mental,    emotional and psychological health.

He was a fan of the gym and always made sure to work out once in every three days, however, for the past two months, he had not had the time to visit the gym, and that was really affecting his body shape.

He had been busy taking care of his father and so many other things

But now that he had a lot of money and was going to be free, he knew he could do anything he wanted, including  going to the gym.

He looked at his body in the mirror with a displeasure registered on his face.

" I need to hit the gym as soon as  possible," He muttered to himself with a smile .

He set off to change himself into one of the clothes he had bought the previous day.

An hour later, Jack was at the reception of the hotel, checking out.

After checking out, he went outside to meet the driver of the online ride he had booked earlier, waiting for him.

He confirmed the car's details and hopped in.

He told the driver where he was going and what he needed to do.

The driver nodded and set the car into motion.

Jack's phone beeped as to signall an incoming call.

He answered the call   and placed the phone to his ear.

" Good morning sir…. Yes, I am already on my way there…. Alright, see you soon….thank you, " Jack spoke to the caller and hung up the call.

As he sat in the car, doing nothing, he began playing the game on his phone, ignoring his surroundings.

A few minutes into the journey

He paused the game and engaged the driver.

" Excuse me, sir, I would like to book your services for the whole day. Will you be okay with that?" He asked the driver.

" Yes sir, I am okay with that, we just have to agree on the price, and I would be okay," the man said.

Jack nodded.

" That will be fine by me.

After the day is over, you will name your price, and I will pay you." Jack said

" Okay, sir," the driver responded, with a grin and a smile.

He peeped at Jack by looking in his driving mirror.

He did not say anything, but Jack read his thoughts easily.

Jack knew he was thinking about how a man his calibre could afford to pay for his services for the whole day.

Jack was in a normal t shirt and a pair of jeans trousers with a pair of white sneakers.

He had his backpack on his lap and his two phones in hand.

He looked like a normal person on the streets.

Jack did not bother to ask the driver about the look and just resumed playing his game.

He was playing the game, yet his focus was on the road as the driver drove.

By the close of the day, Jack had met up with the owners of his new house and his new office in that order.

He went with the driver to a store and got some home appliances and home furniture for his house

He had also hired home decor experts to go arrange his room the way he had shown them.

He also went with the driver to inspect the new office he had bought, and had equally purchased some office desks and chairs, and again, he contracted the decorators to arrange his office for him.

He was cool with the arrangements of his new office and home and was so proud of himself.

He then went with the driver to a shop where he got some more clothes for himself.

Again, he went to a salon to get a new haircut

By the time he got home that evening, it was already late.

He paid the driver and took his contacts to call him the next day.

    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

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

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.
