Michael POV

"Unfortunately, the area where she stays have no CCTV camera footage. I decided to check the cameras nearby but nothing was found. I also did not observe any suspicious movement." Ayla sighed, relaxing on the armchair.

I called her over to my place last night and she arrived this morning.

We were still working on the woman's case.

"Will she just disappear into thin air or something?" I was baffled.

Everything sound so unbelievable.

"I also called Barb to check if the CCTV camera footage was hacked but he returned the updates that everything are intact which means the woman is still in this city. We just don't know where she moved to." she frown, scratching her silky hair.

I sighed heavily.

"I really don't know what to say or do right now. I'm confused. She can't just go into hiding over the fact that she can't share information about her husband." I said.

"Well, have you been able to sort out the mysterious letter you received some days ago?" she asked with a weary voice w

    The text got me up and active. I momentarily forgot about my new position and the probability of having a case on ground to solve. The most important Viking had returned and I needed to meet with him at all costs. It was my first day on the new position and I know it isn’t advisable for me to slack off but I needed to see Torrance urgently, he has finally created time for, who knows when he would be available again? I search the cupboards of my mind for any excuse that would not have me looking like a lazy person as I went out of my office. I meet Joy outside my office at her work desk. She was engrossed in her computer that it got me wondering what she had doing. At the sound of my door clicking shut, Joy’s head sprung up abruptly to look at me. Her eyes holding a spark of fear and dread as it fixed on me. The telephone that sat idly on her desk rang just as I was about speaking, cutting me off. She hesitantly reached for it, never cutting off eye contact with me as she pulled the r

    Michael’s POV “If only you all will see that rebuilding the Vikings group will not only help the poor masses that are being exploited daily by Pablo and his men, but it will also help in finally conquering the strong forces that pull the society behind. It’s been years since the Vikings existed, if we can secretly rebuild it and attack Pablo and Smith, they will break up a little thus giving us a chance to conquer them and have them on their knees” I rushed out the words as they flowed into my mind. I see Torrance as the present backbone of the dissolved Vikings group. If he decides to rebuild the group, the others will follow. “Straight to the point, I had said” he muttered between his teeth “Do you want me turning my back on you entirely?” I sighed. I didn’t want that, if he didn’t make the decision there is still a chance he does if he hears about my efforts. I must not lose him. “Alright. I tracked Pablo and collected evidences of the fact that he is toying with you and the oth

    Ayla’s POV “Easy now big guy, love doesn’t work that way. I have pressing issues to take care of. We will meet again, won’t we? When we do, I will be super ready for you” I pushed Smith teasingly. He was beginning to irk me out with his lovey-dovey bullshit but I had to endure it, since it meant a high chance at solving Michael’s case. I grinned inwardly at the thought of Michael. “Pressing issues? Anything I can help with? I have very solid connections that can make your issues mere tissues to toss away” he grinned stupidly, like a school boy that had just gotten his candies. “Nice teasing rhymes but no, I can take care of my own problems” He started to disagree but was cut short but the vibration of his phone as it rang out. His absurd grin melted into a disdainful frown as he looked at the caller. “I need to leave…” I interrupted him “It’s fine. I was just leaving anyways” I walked hastily out of his sight just as he answered the caller; his voice booming ga

    Michael’s POV The drive back to the office took a longer time than it did at the first trip. I was completely engrossed in trying to crack open the mystery and get the puzzles fixed that I got lost in thoughts a lot of times. I almost caused an accident and it triggered me to remember Olivia and her mother, Lucille. Where are they? What are they running from? What did they have to hide that they couldn’t possibly share with the saviour of their lives? I kept on wondering why someone would be so inconsiderate as to run away from her own savior over a mere question and answer session. Was she scared of me? That couldn’t be the case. Come to think of it, her furniture had been top class yet her house itself was tattered and poverty stricken, totally nothing to write home about. She had hidden her husband’s picture frame behind the television, thereby meaning that he was a somewhat useful asset in her life that she wasn’t ready to dispose of. Was he one of the known ruthless mafia boss

    Ayla’s POV “Get her out, now.” Shuffling feet approaching got my eyes opened again. I had barely slept, maybe just dozed off a bit. A man towered over me, looking straight in the eye before leaning down to pull me up. “What are you doing?” I struggled against his sinew arms on mine “Let go.” He suddenly let go and I fell to the bed with a thud. “Get up and get out.” “What is this? Who are you anyway?” I glared at the ma from before that instructed me to eat and then leave. Was he the one who saved me from Pablo? Why then was he acting so strange? “Get her out then.” He turned to leave as he ordered the same man again. “Wait.” I got down hastily from the bed, my feet almost tangled in the sheets before reaching him. “Do on touch, talk from a distance.” His voice was ice cold and I wondered why he saved me when he was just going to be so rude and throw me out again. “Who are you?” “What sort of a ridiculous question is that? After latching so tightly to me, I expect you would

    Chapter 92

    Ayla’s POV Where was I? I could barely remember anything, my memory took a pause at the time I was saved by an unknown man from Pablo and my head ached from trying to recall what had happened after that. I tried to get up but my limbs were weak, it was like I had been sedated and I could barely control my body to move. I opened my eyes to a luxurious view of dropping chandelier of rather expensive cut. Where was I? I tried turning my head to look around and I noticed that it was definitely not my room and definitely not Michael’s, so I was not anywhere near home. Was I kidnapped? That was very unlikely because I felt way too comfortable in the feather like bed to have actually been kidnapped. “It is about time you woke up. After ruining my evening and scattering my plans you do not deserve any more sleep than you have already gotten.” A thick voice welcomed me followed by a handsome man with muscular build. He did not look familiar in any way but his facial features made my head ac

    Pablo’s POV There was still no call from Gunner, nothing to indicate that he had survived but I was sure he had. He has faced worse and he conquered them all. An abrupt shooting spree was nothing he could not handle. I just needed to focus and keep my head in the game. Smith pushed the steel doors open and walked in sluggishly, panting heavily before flat of an armless sofa. He was too weak to be of any use to me, he was just a waste of space but I needed bait, a worm to catch the stubborn fish from the water and he seemed like the only willful option if he would agree. “Smith, come over.” I ordered and watched him sluggishly drag himself off the chair and shuttle towards me. “We need to get them to come after me again. You are gonna be the bait and you ain’t gonna complain or say a word out of the context, here or there.” “A bait? That will not be possible. I cannot be a part of your bullshit plan to sabotage innocent lives.” He yelled back at me, suddenly revitalized “They are

Keeping me in the dark is going to keep me safe, total bullshit. Pablo will still come for me, I have heard of his numerous killing escapades and he is definitely not going to let me be if he realizes I am still alive. There's only one way to it; though two actually I choose the one that helps me show Michael just how ruthless I can be. He thinks I am just a little girl that he can toss around well he will just have to see, the hard way, that I can survive in the wild. "Ayla, there you are. Michael came looking for you...What happened?" My mother ranted off, immediately I walked in I stomped off from her presence and shut the door to my room. "I am going to show you Michael, that I can do just what you are doing." I vented out my anger, tossing some needed clothes and accessories into my bag. I arranged a boot

    Pablo’s POV“Take him down, gunner!” I yelled. It was a raid, a bloody raid that I had not seen coming and it was not Torrance this time, the Vikings never worked like this. They were always to afraid to take a bold move, not to talk of a move as daring as this one.I could not wait for his response neither could I see him finish off the intruder, he would report himself to me. I shielded myself out, the intruder had used a Sub machine Gun and while his attacks were not directed at a particular target, he just shot as much as he could, all round.I passed through the back door, using the stair way that led to an empty underground garage. I got into my car and drove back home. On my way out, I saw the bodies of my soldiers lying outside the warehouse. The intruder had killed them all silently and it had happened during the call. They plan to take Kathie, get their friend and keep me on the losing end. This was not the work of the Vikings, they definitely had a greater help else, they w

    Ayla’s POV He was a lunatic. How could he even think of cutting off my limbs to send to my parents? I did not even want them getting involved in this because of my disobedience. “You cannot try it. Smith will not allow it.” I yelled at him, trying to conceal my emotions. He burst out in a maniac laugh, lolling his head back and forth continuously. “You are really feisty. I like that. But I’d like to see Smith try. Gunner, hit her up.” He stared at me and took a sip of his drink, then a long drag to take it down. The heavily built man that had kidnapped me earlier walked towards me, swinging a mallet as he closed the gap between us. I shook in fear, and almost peed on myself when a phone rang in a distance. It sounded so distinct as I could only hear Gunner’s footsteps approaching me. Suddenly, he paused and walked over to Pablo; “Torrance.” He simply said to Pablo, who collected the phone and answered the call. It was a video call.Pablo’s POV“Perfect timing, I was just about

    Michael’s POV I knew something was off. I felt it all the way to her house and at her mother’s words I began to panic but I tried as much as I could to swallow it and showed her a smile. "I really wanted to see her to clear some things up but it's fine, I will just come back later." I turned and left before she would make me say any other thing; I was worried that I might scare her, over something that might not even be true. I needed to see Donovan and Anurag to set out how we would protect our loved ones. Ayla mustn't suffer because of me. Pablo was too heartless to care about other people's life; he would gladly take their lives if they got in his way or tried to show authority, classic traits of a mafia boss. I drove to the cathedral and to my surprise; I met all the Viking brothers who had lived together in the Villa, along with their wives and children. They were really in danger, for them to have left their luxurious and comfortable home to an old cathedral with nothing val

    Michael’s POV The weekend ran fast with couple plates of lovely dishes, hours beside my pool and some few minutes of going through my set out plan, and then I was soon turning my tie to the rhythm of work blues. I was going to have a splendid time at work, packing my few personal belongings from my office back to my home, there wasn’t much there anyway. A day to resign officially; Miss Sarah was bound to ask me the reason for such sudden decision and I had not made up my mind on what to tell her. I whistled a tune to match my mood as I tightened the tie around my neck. I put on my suit and bent to pick my shoes from its rack. I noticed a paper under the bed; it was crumpled and as I pulled up the folded parts I saw that it was dirty and a little soft where it had gone damp. I read the content; it was a quick sketch of my findings from the beginning of the search on the Viking’s case right up until now. Had I squeezed it like this? Even if I did, I would not have thrown under the bed

    Chapter 85

    Michael’s POV I was mapping out our plan for a successful victory. We need to infiltrate the Mafian cycle to conquer this battle once and for all. Scott was Pablo’s consigliere, who was more like his underboss as Smith was nothing to write home about. He had not contributed to the first Viking/Mafian war and he has certainly not helped in the course of Pablo’s reign. Pablo was soon to resign from his position but Smith was less of a Mafia boss material. Hence to cut down Pablo’s wings of authority, Scott was the first target, he needed to be done away with in order to over throne Pablo from his well known game. Donovan had said something about hitting Pablo where it would hurt already. Was Scott the part that would hurt? If so, then it was a smart decision. Scott would need to be taken down first in order to win this fight, as Scott’s absence (death) would make Pablo limp in a foot. Pablo ran a Mafian household that was not necessarily connected by blood or marriage. Scott was not
