“ You were the Mr Ethan in the video, right?” Jane asked Jack as she sniffed loudly.Jack did not say anything. Instead, he just nodded with a smile.“ Thank you very much, Jack, but you know he is very powerful and has connections. He can get away with it” Jane said.“ No,not this time. The video is available for people all over the world to watch.Even if his fellow politicians decide to cover him up, the citizens will rise.This case, it is not Jane against the Mayor.

Tracy had been able to sell her house for a million dollars and was now living temporarily with George. They were planning on buying out a bigger home for Tracy so George could go over there every time he wished. In the middle of their discussion, George received a call.

THE ANSWERGeorge and Tracy got home.Tracy was still trying to see if he would be able to talk to George but had not been giving him the attention.George walked into the living room and sank into a couch.He heaved a sigh and held his arm.He was feeling some minor pains in the arm as a result of the sudden movements due to anger.Just as he sat down.His phone rang.He took out his phone from his pocket with a mean face, ready to vent his anger on whoever was calling him.“ He looked at the caller, and it was the nurse again.He answered the call reluctantly.“ What do you want?” George said meanly.“ Sorry sir, it's about your father.

THE RESURFACE OF THE OLD FRIENDJack and Jane got home.Thy were both in the kitchen operating dinner, while the tv in the living room was left on.They were hoping to hear the situation of the mayor after his arrest and its pertaining issues.Luckily, the kitchen was not too far from the living room where the TV was, so they could hear any sound from the TV.As they cooked, they discussed about the current issues in the factory and company and how they were going to tackle it as a team.Although Jane was only a ‘worker’ for Jack, Jack was fond of using the pronoun ‘we’ whenever he was talking.One would think the company belonged to the two of them.As they spoke, Jane remunerated something and asked Jack about it.“ Talking of the factory, how is it going with your cousin?” Jane asked.Jack shrugged and sighed.“ I haven't heard any information from their camp in a while, except that the man is back from the coma, and his son had gone to see him.That was about two hours ago, but I

What is really going on?” Aiden asked from the other end.Jack heaved a sigh.“ I have been around bro, it is a very long story, for another day, and you, what's up, what have you been doing” Jack asked.“ Well, you know my old man passed away, and I left to get my things in order.I am okay now, where are you?

THE TRUTH REVEALEDGeorge held the piece of paper in his hand as he stood in the hallway, thinking of what to do next.He knew Tracy was standing right behind him, but she did not know the contents of the paper yet.He quickly rushed out and came to the entrance of the hospital,The car he left there was no longer there.Before he could say anything, he saw the driver coming towards him with the car’s key in his hand.“ Where is the Goddamn car?” George said as he took the key from him hurriedly.He pressed the remote, and the car beeped, revealing its location, not far from where he stood“ And now listen.You all get home, and no one follows me” George shouted the orders as he ran and got into the car, driving at top speed out of the hospital premises.He set off on the road and took the one heading to his father’s apartment in the estate.+He drove like crazy, without thinking of what to do.All he wanted was to know the ‘truth’ his father was talking about.From the note he had rea
