A TIME FOR DECISION Alfred was in the living room as usual, gaming on the large screen.So far, he had been enjoying his stay to the fullest, except for the fact that he had been able to speak to his father and was beginning to get worried.He was playing his game as usual when he received a call from his father.He stared at the phone screen for a long while before answering the call.“ Watch the news. I am on my way home, we need to talk, '' Mr Enzo said on the phone.Alfred did not have time to ask what was going on before their call was cut.He heaved a sigh and reluctantly changed the gaming to the news.The first news that was being broadcast on the station caught his attention“ MR DANIEL MCALLISTER CONFIRMED DEAD” The news caught him at a glance.He saw the footage of the dead body of Mr Daniel being wheeled into the mortuary.In the background, He saw George with a paper in his hand and Tracy by his side.He then listened to the voiceover of the news bein
A STRATEGIC PLANGeorge drove straight home with his thoughts filled up.He did not know what he was going to do to curb the current situation.He knew that sooner or later, Jack was going to come and fight for his belongings.Now that his father was no more, he had to take things into his own hands and handle them carefully so he could get away with them.He knew very well that the companies were going to get out of hand if care was not taken, and that was going to result in him losing everything overnight. What he needed now was a way he was going to have everything to himself and prevent the companies from collapsing.There was no way he could keep it alive, and there was no way he could manage.At that particular point, he needed to know the current situation of the companies and the current worth of the family he was managing.Surprisingly, he was now the only family at the moment, and he now had the family properties to himself.Only that he had younger brothers who were not in
IT IS WELLTuesday Morning, Jack's Apartment.Jack and Jane were just seated in the car and Jack had just started the engine.They were about to move out of the compound so Jack would go and drop Jane at the workplace.Jack started the engine and slowly drove out of the compound, settling onto the asphalt road.“ You know how your schedule is for today, right?” Jack asked Jane.Jane was seated in the front seat with him.She nodded in affirmation.“ Great, anyways, your PA will update you on all the happenings and schedules for today, so you can ask her whenever the need arises” Jack said.“ Have you heard anything from your cousin?” Jane asked as she changed the topic.Jack nodded in the affirmative. “ Yes, I got the information that yesterday after leaving the hospital, he went over to his father's house and emerged minutes later and drove straight home.They said he went back home yesterday and went to lock up himself in the room.I am yet to hear anything again from there, but I a
A NEW INFORMATION“ I think you will have to close a bit earlier Today” Jack said, trying to quickly change the topic to ease the tension.“ Why, what is up?” Jane asked as she looked at her.“ We have a double date tonight with Aiden and his girlfriend,” Jack replied.“ Oh yes, of course. So what time do I close today?” Jane asked.“ Well, instead of closing at 4:30 pm today, you will close at 4 pm, so we can have some time to prepare for the night.From my calculations, your schedule will end at exactly 3:30 pm, so I will be there at exactly 4 pm to pick you up” Jack said.“ I think that is fine by me.I will be waiting.So what are you going to do today?” Jane asked Jack.“ Well, not much.I will go through the remaining files of the customers.We have a lot of work and effective next week, we will have to begin the usage of our old refinery, open the new warehouse, and use one more of the oil fields. I also need to have some online interviews with some of the workers I will be e
THE HOMELESS MANJack drove to his house at top speed.He entered the apartment and emerged about five minutes later with a backpack on his back.He walked hurriedly to his garage and got into his pickup.He drove out of the house after giving his housekeeper some instructions.He sped onto the highway and drove for about twenty minutes before coming to a stop.He took his phone and made a call.“ I need you to confirm if they are still at the location or they have left” Jack told the receiver of the call.“ They are still around, sir.They are now doing a final prayer for him, and the priest is just about to begin his prayerThat should last approximately ten minutes, and from my map, you are four minutes away by foot, so you will get there just in time” the caller said.Jack smirked.“ Okay, thank you very much,” Jack said and hung up.“ Prayers for a wicked man, the world is indeed not fair” Jack murmured to himself as he switched off the engine of the car.He heaved a sigh and too
RUN FOR YOUR LIFEREST IN HELLGeorge took off his dark glasses and looked at him.“ Who are you?” George asked him.Jack let out the oppressed smile, revealing his white set of teeth. “ I am family” Jack replied sarcastically“ Who the hell are you, Mr. Man?” George asked angrilyHe noticed that the voice of the man sounded familiar, but he was in no mood for guessing the names of people.“ I am a family member. I am entitled to be here too, " Jack replied.George seemed to have recognised Jack now.“ Jack?” George asked in surprise.Jack smiled and nodded.“ What on earth are you doing here? Who directed you here?” George asked in surprise.The men were already covering the grave, and the priests were about to leave the place.“ Don't I deserve to come to mourn my beloved uncle?” Jack asked sarcastically.“ What are you talking about?. You ceased to be a part of the family the very day you left the house. Now get out of here before I let the guards throw you out
EMPTY THREATSGeorge and Tracy stood there as they watched Jack trash the three guards.Tracy was holding him tightly in fear.“ Let's get out of here” George whispered to Tracy.He pulled her along as they both ran to the car that was parked outside the gate of the graveyard.Tracy got to the passenger side, and George got into the driver's side and sat down.Luckily, the key was in the ignition.George started the car and quickly drove away, leaving his men behind in the graveyard.He drove at top speed onto the highway, taking the road leading to his house.Tracy was panting heavily from the little run he had just made.“ Why did you let the men fight him when you know he is stronger and your men are fewer?” Tracy asked George.“ He was creating a nuisance, and the men were supposed to teach him a lesson, but they are all weak.198888My father could not even get a decent burial void of a nuisance” George replied angrily.He was frustrated“ You should have just l
PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONSJack’s car drove into the premises of the chinese restaurant and parked at an available spot.His glasses were raised, but he was still in the tattered clothes.He moved to the back seats and opened the backpack there.Five minutes later, Jack was dressed decently in the clothes he was leaving the house.His bluetooth was still fixed to his ear.He took out his phone and made a call.“ Are you at the restaurant?” Jack asked the receiver.“ Yes sir, I am in. I am sitting on the last table at the first corner on your right, with a glass of juice right in front of me” The receiver said.“ Alright, I am around, and I am coming in, but I can not show myself, so I will come in as a different person.Drop the drive on the table and relax. A young man will come in and pick the drive in a minute.“ Okay, sir, it is in a small brown envelope and on the table. You can send the person in now.” The receiver said.“ Okay, he will be in there any moment from now”
