The house was not the smallest of homes neither was it too big to be ransacked and searched thoroughly in their race against time. Swiss and his men would soon get to their location, Hermes knew this very well. But he also kmew that there was some big information hiding within the walls of that house.Thus he split them up into two teams. He and Dengerberd would search the house for anything important while Molina would stay with Jack and stand guard over Tracie. A task in which Molina took great delight.Hermes knew he could not fully trust Dengerberd, so he only entrusted him with the search of the unimportant rooms while Hermes took over with the bedrooms.There were three bedrooms in that house. Two stood side to side with one another while the last one remained at the rearest part of the house. Even though the first two rooms were left open and wide, Hermes could see easily from the way everything looked that no one had stepped into those rooms in years.The beds looked rough an
Right back in the living room, Tracie had been tied at her hands which were now folded behind her as she sat up below one of the sofas in the living room.Molina strode back and forth before her, moving with the pride of a cat and shaking her heavy features in a bid to tease her captive."You are enjoying this now, pray I never get out of these ropes, bitch". Tracie spat in the face of her pride, but it did little to hurt Molina. Rather, she felt the urge to do more."Ohh! Are you pained, Miss Tracie? You can no longer order me around? How about you command me to release you from those ropes? Opps, I forgot. That charm no longer works!"Molina let out another good laugh, and Tracie could feel her blood boiling. She could not wait to get her hands free again so she could deliver some serious blows on the lady before her."You know, I never was one of your girl slaves", Molina continued, taking her seat on one of the opposite chairs to Tracie and crossing her legs. Her extremely short
Meanwhile, several minutes before all of these things would happen outside, Hermes and Mark Dengerberd were still at the doorstep of the broken room, at loggerheads with each other."I think it is high time you let me know who exactly you are and what you want!" Hermes had said a few minutes earlier, ready to know the total truth about Dengerberd."What? At this time? This is surely not the time for all this! They will soon be onto us" Mark tried to be evasive about it.Hermes knew that Mark had a point and the truth in his words was not deniable, but the lies in them was what he was trying to look out for. He had come too easy to his aid, taking the risk of losing his head right within Swiss's own territory, and all that for what? So he could compensate Hermes for helping him to win some money? It did not sound logical. There was only one explanation - Dengerberd hoped to gain something more from all these.Could it be the location of the hidden golds? Hermes wondered. Or it would b
Hermes swiped open the document. It was boldly written in the first page. "The Ones Who Destroyed Caveliona""What is this one?" Dengerberd stuttered and Hermes ignored.Below the heading was another writing, saying. "I write their names out today, so my secret does not die with me. These are the evil people that brought destruction and death to hundreds of thousands of lives all because of riches and gold"."Gold..." Hermes repeated within himself, stunned by the writing before him."The truth behind the bombings, the killings and the destruction of several lives in the old city of Caveliona. Be prepared to know, be prepared to die"."There is no time to read all this, remember we gotta get out of here?" Dengerberd whispered into his ears, sneaking up beside him.That did not stop Hermes from opening the document one page further. There on the new page, at the top part of the long paper was a long list of names. The first name was Andre with no last name, boldly written above all of
"Dengerberd is the mole just like you suspected." Dan broke the news to Swiss who was still in the car and recieving the feedback, the king of the street gritted his teeth in anger."Traitor..." He growled lowly. "What is the situation in there?" Swiss asked into the earphone."They are still here", Dan replied, pushing Molina to her knees in front of him. "Though I can't see Hermes or Dengerberd yet. It seems they are still inside the room, I could say they fell for the trap.""Sure they would. Not so smart to realize that it was too easy to infiltrate my most treasured personal store of goods." Swiss said. "But sir, is this worth it? Now, he will find whatever it is you didn't want him to"."Let him find whatever he can find. It is high time he knew all those, he is not walking out of here alive anyway." Swiss replied in a dark slow tone. "Knowing that I am family is the biggest secret for me, and now that he has that, I don't care what else he knows. I can't leave him for much lon
The shadow moved in the third room, the big room where Swiss had kept some of his fortunes and where the evidence of Twillightoria's biggest crimes had stayed for years. Dan quickly had his attention shifted away from the room that used to belong to Lyanna. He was not sure if anyone would be there anyway, but it was clear that someone was in the big room. And the fellow probably already had his eyes on Dan, thus making it hard for him to ignore it in the least possible way.He soon trampled past the first two doors towards the big room, the shadow had now disappeared into hiding, but Dan could still feel the person's presence."I know you are behind this door, man". He said, kicking the door with his leg. "You know I don't fight fair. Before you can suprise me, your head is rolling".As soon as the door was kicked, Dan could hear uncomfortable movements behind it. It wad exactly as he thought. His targets were right behind that piece of barrier. Also, the hiding shadow soon appeared
The bullet almost did not miss. Dan was only lucky that Dengerberd was not such a good handler of guns, and that he had bent his knee right before Dengerberd pulled the trigger. But the grumpy businessman was not done yet."Drop the bag!" He commanded, hoping to take advantage of the fact that he was the one with a gun. But Dan was for sure not a man who listened to threatens.Dengerberd made to take a second shot. But before he could shoot again, Dan had made a rolling move on the floor, picking up the little bag with himself and sliding away from the doorstep back into the dark passage, while leaving bullets wasted behind on his trail."Fuck!" Hermes pulled himself to his feet and made after his old friend in an effort to bring him down.It was a race against time and against death. From all indications, Swiss and the rest of his men would have heard the gunshots, and they would be on their way in to see what had happened. Hermes needed to find a way out of the situation but first,
The police van pulled up on the left side of the not too busy street. Sniff pulled out of the vehicle and headed towards the entrance of a house which stood alone a few distance away, just before the downhills which spread downwards into the green forests.When it remained a few steps that would take him to the doorway, he let out a long sigh and turned around. "Won't you all come out? It is my home, and I say you are welcome."His voice ranged past the cold windy air to meet the ears of the other passengers of the car who, before he said anything, did really keep a close keent tab on his moves right from the moment he took his first step out of that car.The second front door opened and his assistant, Mark was soon out as well. He proceeded towards Sniff who was now at the doorway but soon has to turn around as well when he noticed that there was no footsteps behind him."I think they are scared?" Mark told Sniff, who sniffed the air in anger."They have nothing to be scared of. Tho
Lyanna was lying on her bed, slowly recovering from the old wounds."The doctor says you will be free to go in a few days."Beside her bed was Andrew Henshaw, comforting her to a good discharge. He had always been there for her in the absence of her father, more than her brother could ever even if he tried.Lyanna smiled back at him. He was such an angel, she thought."Andrew..." She muttered, craving his attention. "What is it..." He responded as soon as he lifted his head, seeing the look of displease spread across the lines of her face."I am sorry for what happened to your father..." She had always wanted to say that since the moment she discovered that her father and his friend were really the ones who had taken Henshaw's life back then. "I am sorry for everything my father did to your family..."He put a finger on her lips. "That is gone now. We are now here together. Friends. Together. Forever."His smile was enough to convince her to be happy. He was the best thing she had k
"I am sorry about this. I will make sure to find him...""That boy stole my money. He walked into my house and stole my money!!" Albert Bradbury was in a rage as he recounted what Howard Smith had done. The boy had the guts to infiltrate into his home and escape with an extreme amount of money."There is nowhere he can go or run to. And there is nothing he can do with that amount of money. We will find him, and we will recover your money." Diego assured, still trying to calm down the anger of Bradbury.Adam Bradbury sat at a far corner of the living room. He was still in shock and horror over what happened the night before. The knife placed on his throat, threatening to slash through. He could feel the red sores which developed along the lines of his neck.Also in shock was Adam's mother, Stella Bradbury. She was also struggling to fully understand what had happened the night before. Worse, she could not understand what was happening right now. Who were these strange men? And why had
The successful businessman, whose profits had gone on a whole new level of rise since the past few months was in his house, having a glass with his wife and his son, Adam Bradbury. Albert was filled with smiles and laughter, clinking his glass cup with that of his family, recounting his success story to them both, hoping that his son would learn a few things and take inspiration from his achievements."A man who wants success must be ready to ignore all attachments. You have to keep an open eye, always on focus. Only then can you see the tiniest opportunities the very moment they appear." He schooled, smiling.Albert had sent away his bodyguards and protectors from the room. He just wanted to have an alone time with his family since that rarely ever happened in their life. He felt tonight should be a special night, but faith would have it, he could not have picked a worse day than that particular day.Howard Smith peeped from beneath the curtains. He had found his way and outsmarted t
"The case today. Accused, Andre... No last name. Versus the state"."This man has committed a horrible crime against our nation, against me and you. A heinous transgression upon a loyal citizen is a heinous transgression against the whole of us. He does not even have a lawyer, and that goes to show you how evil he has been proven. You know. I know. Everybody knows. No one wants to waste their time and integrity standing for him. In my opinion, he has already been condemned in the heart of the world, how balanced would it be if he were to be condemned by the hands of the law.""Mister Andre, after carefully considering the evidence put forward to the court and listening to the presentation of one lawyer, I believe this court has more than sufficient information to pass judgment on this case.""The court sentences Mister Andre to a long term of fifty years in prison. Meanwhile, if any other acts of crime or any disturbance of peace is detected from Mister Andre during tbe first thirty y
"Where are you Andre, we are about to move". Guerrero said through the phone.Andre was just a few minutes left to the spot where they had agreed to meet. It was a seaside location, where illegal boats would usually set sail. Then the boat would travel a far distance up to the middle of the sea where a bigger ship would be waiting.Along with the passengers of the other smaller boats which had come from different part of the cities just for the same purpose of transmitting people in secret, the people in the boat would be drafted into the bigger ship and the boats would return to the seaside.This was also done at other parts of the world, in other countries. Each boat would know the right time to leave the seaside in order to meet the ship at the predetermined location, and Guerrero did not want to miss that time.Andre and his daughter were not the only person who were trying to leave Twillightoria. There were other people too, and unlike Andre who simply just asked for a favour, th
"Welcome, my friend! It is really pleasure to see your old face once more. Is this your beautiful daughter? May I say she looks just like her mother? Too much, I tell you. Too much."Guerrero welcomed Andre with smiles and hugs. He seemed really glad to have the honour of saving Andre and helping him out of the country."Everything is set, my friend. The boat is ready, the sailors are waiting. All that remains is for you to step into the boat and set sail to freedom."Andre understood his words well, but he was no longer anxious to leave at this point."Diego and my son are still behind. We need to rescue them first, only then can I go anywhere."Guerrero frowned. "That does not make any sense, Andre. Diego knew what he was walking into when he decided to help you in your foolish mission. I am sure he wants you to leave now that you can, you do not want to get caught too. Now that would be too much a loss for anyone of us to bear. And your son? I heard news about your son. He seems to
"I must say it is quite nice to see you again, Mr Andre. Anyone would have thought that the other day would be out last encounter." Richard Dengerberd said, holding a recording device up to his face, displaying it before Andre and kids present.Richard Dengerbard had been in there all along, waiting fkr Andre to come for his daughter. Andre thought he had died the other day with Minister Henshaw, but apparently he survived. He must have gotten to know of Andre's connection with the other day when Andre first visited the hospital.Then he was surely the one behind the police arrival. He was the one who informed the world of his existence and ruled out Scorpio's name as the one behind Henshaw's death.He had intentionally moved unconscious Lyanna into this VVIP room to serve as a bait for Andre. He had intentionally made himself her roommate, and he had recorded all the conversation between Andre, Howard and Andrew Henshaw."You must have thought that you escaped the law when you killed
There was no more tricks to devise. He was now surrounded by the security men who came closer to know if there was a problem."What is the issue here?" One said."Nothing is wrong agent," Andre assured. "We are just having a little discussion, right?"The look on the agent's face drifted from a neutral perspective into an alarmed expression as sudden as a lightening would strike during a storm."Get your hands in the air!!" He reached for his gun, screaming at Andre.Before he could pull out his weapon, Ande had attacked first.The entire place became riddled with combat. Andre alone against the rest of them.But he had no chance in that open place. When the guns started firing, he could barely put up a fight as he placed a dead agent in the way of the bullets.The door of the section was right there, the agents standing right before it as the agents were now focused on him. To get to the door, he needed to get through them first. That was impossible."Shit! There is no way I'm gettin
"I will go in myself and get her out." Andre proclaimed. "What?" That did not make sense and Diego could not allow it. "You cannot do that.""We don't have any other option.""Yes we do. I can get some of our men to do this.""No..." Andre refuted. "I don't want a collision with the security agency. The best way to do this is by a using one man to take out the children quietly.""They are trapped in that hospital because someone knows about us. Someone knows about you. Whoever it is, they are surely waiting for you to come. Even if we must do this, it does not have to be you." Diego expressed his concern fully. On normal days, Diego was not the kind of person who spoke with full words or who cared about other people's safety apart from his own true family. But his relationship with Andre was growing past the borders of partnership and once again looking like brothers, just like they were when they were younger. And just like their daughters were now."I will go." Diego volunteered,
