The three teenagers crawled down the dark path, holding their hands against its smooth slippery walls to find their way.

Sandra insisted they remained quiet, but Howard had a lot of questions to ask. Lyanna did as well, and though her brother did all the talking, she listened to Sandra's answers with full attention, slowly and gradually realising the truth behind everything that had happened recently.

"So you mean your father is part of a secret evil mafia group and our father used to be part of that group. But then he ran away and now they found him with your help. So they want to kill him and every member of his family which includes me." He recounted all of Sandra's half baked and half served explanation. "It still makes no sense."

Lyanna crawled in front of the two, listening to their conversation. They thought she was focused on finding their path forward since she was the one in front, but rather she was focused on the words they exchanged, eager to get every single detail.

    The hand that crawled out through the holes of the door was another one in the long list oh shockers, but it was waving at them. It belonged to one of their mates from school, the same person who had been stalking the two girls for quite some time."Andrew?" Sandra was shocked to see his handsome face pop out behind the door."Stay calm, guys. We will open this in a bit.""We? There is someone else there with you? Let me guess, Bell?""He is helping us to get the key." Andrew confirmed, evoking a smirk from Sandra.And Bell's voice screamed from somewhere. "Just another second! I'm looking for the right one! I can't seem to find one big and strong enough.""Big and strong?" Howard repeated, almost by himself with confusion. "Since when did keys need to be big or strong to open a door?""Actually, we are not trying to open the door. We are trying to break it open. There is no way we could possibly have a key, I mean who needs a key anyway. We can make a door not a door, right?" Andrew

  • Herald of Vengeance   The Takeover Plan

    The story had now reached a cliffhanger, Hermes could not guess what would happen after. If Diego Ranieri, the old man he encountered at Haisley and Derek's wedding, had once joined hands with his grandfather Andre to take down the leaders of the predators, then an unguessable lot of events must have happened after that time.At the present, Diego was the leader of the predators, so Hermes could guess that the plan to defeat the Triad was not a failure. But what happened after that? If they succeeded, what happened to Andre? To Howard? To Lyanna? How did everything eventually come to this?Also, he still could not understand how Adams Bradbury fitted into this entire story. Sandra had promised that her narration would answer every question on his mind, but that promise had still not been fulfilled yet."If you would sit your impatient ass down, calm your heart and listen more, then all your answers will surely be found." Sandra said, pushing his head back to rest on the soft pillow. "

  • Herald of Vengeance   Escape Hole

    The plan took effect as soon as the team found possible. Sandra took her best friend through a little hole which was at the farthest ends of the entire stretch of the prime base.It was a hole fit enough to allow a person pass through when they cuddled up into their smallest shape. It was through this hole Sandra always sneaked in and out of the prime base whenever her father tried to keep her within arm's length.She started off with a very small size of the escape hole, when she was still a child. It would allow only her or anybody else her age and size to pass through, and no adult could use it.But as she grew older, bigger and taller, she had to increase its size so she could still continue her sessional escapes without being noticed. That meant that the hole became larger and more visible from afar, and might soon be discovered by other predators.But it was never discovered, remaining safe and secret for all the years. Sandra was happy to find it again waiting for the two girls

  • Herald of Vengeance   The Triad Falls

    The girl could not do anything to prevent themselves from being captured at that moment. They were out numbered, totally surrounded by ambitious foes.Those men thought that the Triad would rule with a different system forever. A system where there would be no discrimination in the name of family among the members of the predators. Where each person will be treated in accordance with their achievements and loyalty to the empire and not by virtue of their family's default reverence.If anything, the idea of betraying their supposed saviours and putting an family chosen leader like Andre back on the throne was stupid and unfavourable to them. Andre would be just like everyone of his prodecessors, they thought. They needed someone who would give them a voice, and that was what they found in the Triad.So they took the girls as their captives, to be delivered as gifts to the leadership of the Triad. That way, they would be rewarded with higher ranks among the predating fold.When Andre an

  • Herald of Vengeance   The Rumours Are True

    The story of the Triad had come to an end. To the predators, this was a dangerous shock. Scorpio had returned to the same monopolistic practice which the Triad had preached against. He had killed his two friends and become the only powerhold of the entire empire.For Lyanna, it was the best thing that could happen to her world. For the little while that the Triad had lasted, it had been able to oust the reigning families of the predators, killing off every leader and their entire family except Diego and his daughter.The Triad also managed to tap into the heart of every common predator, giving them hopes of a better place among the great family in the future. This made the men extremely loyal, and not even the thought of the return of Andre could change their hearts or shake their loyalty.But now all that was over. Scorpio had proved that he had no plans to respect their loyalty or reward their efforts. He was going to become just like the previous leaders before him, and his family

  • Herald of Vengeance   Saving Your Ass!

    Beneath the shelter of his newly inherited empire, rewarded by his atrocious actions of disloyalty and betrayal, Scorpio sat behind the tallest and strongest walls of the prime base. He had in his mind the frivolous thoughts of mistrust, and from where he sat he could see it all. He could feel it all. The sneaky steps of Andre's influence had crept into the hearts of his men. It came from the notes spread around by those little witches, it was as if each stroke rose away from their place on the sheets of paper and diffused through the chest of each predator, poisoning their hearts against him. At this rate, he knew there was no one he could find worthy of his trust, not even his closest protector.The man who was sworn to protect him, by this time, was at least twenty yards away from where he sat. This was due to Scorpio's newly breed paranoia, as he could no longer put his trust in any predator."Boss, the men say that he is here already, among us. Andre, the son of the..."One of t

    "Saving my ass, huh? What the fuck are you on about?" Scorpio kept the gun in Illibio's direction. He could not trust anybody in that room, or in the entire base."Listen to me. This girl, do you know who she is?" Illibio threw her face upwards, facing Scorpio and his few remaining men."Do I look like I care?" Illibio hit his own face in frustration, the fourth finger was absent. "So dumb to be the king of the underworld.""What did you say?" The gun was ready to fire, and the trigger was about to be pulled."She is the daughter of Andre, the same man who is knocking on your door, calling for your downfall."The realisation hit Scorpio specially. His hard stare shifted into a shocked expression. And as he slowly digested the truth, his hairline raised and his eyes became dilated.He moved forward to examine the girl better. "She does has his looks", he said, scanning the face of Lyanna with his eyes while his hand turned her face severally. "How did you get her?""She is the one wh

  • Herald of Vengeance   Scorpio Might Escape Justice...

    Illibio had his feet above the ground, covered in shoes made of tough leather and a metal end. He was going to trample on Lyanna's fingers. He was going to destroy her hand and take revenge on Andre for making him lose a finger.Andre was still covered in dirt, the dusty atmosphere blocking his vision. But he could see slightly what was about to unfold. Still he could not do anything from where he was, there was nothing he could do.So he only screamed, "No!!!" Like an helpless child who was watching his mother being taken away.As Illibio brought down those deadly legs, it played in slow motion in the eyes of Andre. His feet came down gradually, about to fall on the perfectly placed fingers of his little girl.And then someone flew in from nowhere, hugging Illibio from behind."What?!!!" He screamed as he tumbled with his back to the ground, the perpetrator falling with him."Who are you, boy?!!!"Illibio managed to utter those low words as blood gushed out from his abdomen. He had b

  • Consulting Lyanna

    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.

    "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.

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.

  • Across the Sea, Behind the Cells

    "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

  • The Ambush

    "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

  • Behind the Purple Veil

    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,
