Andre was alone with Diego, discussing their plans on how to assassinate Minister Henshaw when the door knocked from outside.Without waiting for a response, in came the person who had knocked. It was one of the twenty predator leaders who were supposed to go for the mission alongside the two men.He came in without permission and Diego could notice the look on his face almost instantly. "Hey, Tiger? What is up?"The name tiger was what the mafia family gave to each of the leaders of every family. Meaning there were twenty tigers left in the Predators world for the twenty families that now remained.It was after the man had entered that Diego and Andre saw the number of predators behind him. The rest of the nineteen leaders had come with him and they all walked into the room with stone faces, just like the first person.Then Andre sighted another figure among them, considerably smaller than the other men. It was his son, Howard, and he looked as though he had been brought here becaus
The men of the predator family stood in a row just a few hours before the break of day, waiting for the order to march into the city. Each leader representing his family, they were ready to follow Andre's orders and redeem themselves before him. The rest of the hideout was still asleep, apart from a few of them who were awakened by the sound of footsteps that they heard outside. Lyanna was one of the later group of people.She peeped through a crevice and saw the twenty men in the long line, dressed in dark outfits which stick to their body like human rubber, enlarging their muscular figures in an intimidating way.Then she saw her father exit from his room, followed by Diego. They were dressed a similar outfit. Seeing the suspicious look on the faces of the twenty-two men, she knew for sure that something was going on. Something sinister, something dangerous. She did not know what it was and she felt the desperate urge to get the slightest piece of information possible, but for some
"I have eyes on the minister. In ten seconds, he will step out of the building.""Sniper ready?""All in position."Andre took out the plan once again. It was an elaborative spread of thick paper marked with different colours and shapes, each distinctive of every kind of person they are looking forward to having an encounter with during the course of the mission."We have not come here to exchange shots." He began, speaking to the few men who were with him. The rest of the group were already stationed in their various places but they could all hear him through their hearing devices."I would love that we take him out and slip away without anyone knowing, but the chances at that is very much impossible. So we will do what we can.""Henshaw will come out of his building at exactly ten minutes from now. As usual he will be guarded", Diego continues to explain. "To get to him without engaging in open battle, we need to seperate him from the bulk of his men. We still need someone on the in
"We have to execute the plan now!"Andre's voice chimed in Bold's ears. The voices of Henshaw and Dengerberd echoed underneath.He felt the cold sting of metal behind his neck, and something that sounded like the click of a gun."Who are you?" Richard Dengerberd was ready to shoot. "I said who are you!""Pull over!" The minister shouted as well, seemingly paranoid on the realization that this might be an attempt on his life.But Bold was not ready to listen to their threats. The distance between the back seat and the driver's seat was quite a long one, and even though Richard Dengerberd had hustled down through the space to place the gun on him, he could send the agent right down the path and block away the two parts of the vehicles with just the press of a button.He hurried to do that, but Richard Dengerberd was already expecting that.The agent hit him from behind, halting his plans. But with a head jab, Bold was able to push back Dengerberd and pull the button with the tip of his
For a few minutes, Andre was alone on his path in the forest. He heard not as little as a bird making her usual chirping sound as he proceeded on the trail of his two objectives, not even the searching noise of his comrades was made available to his ears. It was as if Diego and the rest of the surviving predators had drifted into a completely different search, faraway from this one.Yet he felt confident that he was onto the two men.Even the trail of blood which he followed had fainted and disappeared. One of the two men on the run must have discovered the bleeding and stopped it before it pulled the predators to their trail. Andre stood at the point where the blood vanished. On the ground beside his legs was a fabric stained with blood. "They paused here to stop the bleeding. That means they were slowed down for at least a few minutes. They can't be far away. Infact, maybe they are right here right now, peeping at me from the shadows."He looked around in suspicions, his guard rai
Albert Bradbury was enjoying the form of the pictures which played on his television screen. Finally, Henshaw was dead. Out of his way and no longer a threat."This day is here at last!" He grinned, sipping the cold henessy in the silver cup before him.But right by his side was his only partner in this entire plot. His closest ally in recent time. On the face of Albert was consistent joy, on the face of his companion was rather panic and confusion. He stared at the television screen with an unannounced intent, as though he was trying to navigate some truth from the screen."Do you think they got them?" Scorpio asked in anxiousness, his cup of henessy filled but untouched."I gave the tip, I don't expect that they survive. If I were you, Scorpio, I would be on my way to your hell hole now, where ever that is anyway. You have waited this long to take over the organisation, this is your chance. I have given this chance to you, just take it." Albert laughed away non challantly.Scorpio s
The story of Andre and the predators seemed very much to have come to an end. Scorpio was now gone, there was no longer a minister Henshaw to chase them around. Even Richard Dengerberd was now gone too. All that remained was for Andre to keep to his pre determined plans and take his children faraway from all these brutality.He had promised to cede the control of the predators to Diego once his family was safe again, and he intended to do just that. "Where will you go?" Diego wondered, as he stood beside Andre, both men watching the waves of the ocean from the top of a mountain."India..." Andre muttered, half sure himself."What? Why India??" Diego almost fell into laughter. He did not expect to hear that, India was a stretch."I don't know. I like the idea of being there. I've always wanted to go there.""And that is it." Diego shook his head. "You are forcing your kids to go to India because of your own childhood fantasies?""India is also a very religious country." Andre continue
In her father's room, Sandra sat by a table in a dim corner, piercing her eyes through the pages of a book. It was a book which detailed the history of the predators, at least from the time of Andre's grandfather. Sandra knew her father was not the type to sit down and pen a book with his own hands, neither did he enjoy the breeze of fun that came with taking his time to read one. So why did he have this book in his possession, rusting away, without gracing the gaze of a reader."My family have always been best buddies with Lyanna's family..."That is one thing she had learnt from reading this book. Since the very start, her great grandfather and Lyanna's great grandfather. Her grandfather and Lyanna's grandfather. Even their grandmothers. They've all just been close friends.Maybe that was why she was so attracted to Lyanna. Maybe that was why she wanted to be her friend so much.Knowing that Lyanna was about to leave to another country, it broke her heart. She did not know whether
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,
