"You see, Romeo, now that Flanagan's memory has been wiped out," Don Frago began, with his voice carrying the weight of uncertainty, "I and my men would have no major jobs that could bring us good money, and you know, even though my men are loyal to me, they are like my children. I need to be there for them... I need money to maintain my organization."He meant his mafia gang.Romeo turned around to see the dead bodies of Don Frago's men that were just killed moments ago. "You say your men are loyal, right?""Yes," Don Frago replied, his tone was firm."What makes you think that you are going to strengthen the bond between you and your men after killing some of them without reason not too long ago?" Romeo's voice was filled with a mix of concern and skepticism."Those ones?" Don Frago gestured towards the fallen bodies that were close to the grave, his expression turned colder. "They betrayed me, they were acting as spies for one of my rivals.""What do you mean?" Romeo pressed, his c
Romeo was driving his Kia Telluride when Anna called him. He was just flexing round town."Hello Romeo.""Hello Anna what's up?""To be honest, I am not happy with you.""What? Why?" Romeo looked confused."For three days now, I haven't seen you, you haven't called me even.""Oh, I am so so sorry about that okay, I was busy, like extremely busy and…""What kind of excuse is that Romeo." Anna felt agitated. "What amount of business would make you not to call me to even say high?""I am sorry Anna…""Something tells me you are seeing another lady." Anna put up a cautious tone there at the background."Come on Anna, stop thinking like that.""Prove me wrong then.""Anna look, I was caught up with something, I cannot disclose it to you but it was a matter of life and death, and I swear to God I am not cheating on you, come on, why would I?"After a few muffled breaths on the background Anna said. "I believe you, not because you are innocent but because I choose to believe you.""I am glad
As the door to the ward swung open, a nurse entered and her footsteps echoed softly against the sterile floors. Her eyes widened in shock as they fell upon the gruesome scene before her—a lifeless body lying on the hospital bed, blood staining the pristine sheets, and Romeo standing frozen beside it, his expression a mask of horror and disbelief.For a moment, the nurse was speechless, her breath caught in her throat as she struggled to process the harrowing sight before her. She felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins, her heart pounded in her chest as the magnitude of the situation sank in.With trembling hands, she pointed a shaky finger at the lifeless form of Miss Chen, her gasps escaping in rapid succession as she tried to form words amidst her shock and disbelief.Romeo, realizing the graveness of the scenerio and the potential consequences, raised his hands in a gesture of pacification, his voice was strained as he tried to reassure the nurse. "Hey...hey...it's
As the police vehicle rumbled through the city streets towards the station, Romeo's mind churned with a whirlwind of emotions. He couldn't shake the feeling of injustice that gnawed at him, nor the weight of the accusations looming over his head like a dark cloud.Upon arrival at the police station, Romeo was escorted through the bustling corridors, the clinking of his handcuffs echoed in the sterile atmosphere. Eyes followed him as he was led towards Inspector Bachmann's office, anticipation and tension was no doubt thick in the air.When they reached the door marked with the inscription "Inspector Bachmann," the police officer leading him halted abruptly, his hand raised in a salute. "Sir, this man has been accused of murder," he announced solemnly, his voice carried the weight of the accusation.Inspector Bachmann's eyes widened in surprise as he glanced up from his desk, his gaze locking onto Romeo's troubled expression.He felt a knot in his stomach as he wasn't prepared for Ro
As Romeo was escorted from Inspector Bachmann's office, the weight of his predicament continued to bear down on him like a suffocating cloak. The police officer leading him, Sergeant Braun, walked with a purposeful stride, with his eyes scanning the surroundings for any potential threats. The bustling corridors of the police station seemed to close in around them, the echoes of their footsteps drowned out by the hum of activity. The air was heavy with tension, and Romeo could feel the weight of scrutiny from every pair of eyes that followed their progress.As they approached the entrance to the prison facility, the atmosphere changed drastically. The sterile corridors of the police station gave way to dimly lit hallways lined with steel bars and heavy doors. The scent of sweat and despair hung thick in the air, a tangible reminder of the harsh realities of incarceration.Horrible-looking convicts shuffled past, their hardened faces twisted into sneers or blank masks of resignatio
As the brute's hand gripped Stanley's shoulder, the room fell silent, tension crackling in the air like static electricity. Stanley's trembling hands clutched his tray, his eyes wide with fear as it dawned on him that his attempt to walk past the brute blocking his path was a bad idea."You have the guts to walk past me while everyone gave me a standing ovation?" The brute's voice rumbled like distant thunder, low and menacing. With a swift motion, he delivered a punch to Stanley's unsuspecting face, which made his head to crash violently on the floor with a sickening thud."But I was very hungry," Stanley protested weakly, his voice barely audible over the din of the chow hall. Another punch followed, blood spattering onto the cold linoleum floor as Stanley's lip split open."Please spare me, I will not do that again," Stanley begged, his words were muffled by the blood pooling in his mouth. But the brute showed no mercy, raining down blow after merciless blow upon the defenseles
"I am not a kid," Romeo protested, but before he could say another word, the brute's massive hand shot out, shoving Romeo backwards with enough force to send him stumbling.Caught off guard, Romeo staggered backward, his arms windmilling as he fought to regain his balance. But before he could steady himself, the brute delivered a powerful headbutt, with the force of the blow slamming into Romeo's forehead with a sickening thud.Pain exploded behind Romeo's eyes as stars danced in his vision, his world spinning as he stumbled backwards, his feet tangling beneath him. With a cry of alarm, he flailed wildly, his arms windmilling as he fought to stay upright.But it was no use. The force of the headbutt had been too much, and Romeo's legs gave out beneath him, sending him crashing to the floor in a heap. His back hit the cold linoleum with a dull thud, the impact knocking the wind from his lungs as he lay there, stunned and gasping for breath.Around him, the chow hall erupted into lau
Two days later, Romeo found himself seated quietly in a dark, smelly cell, his incarceration in the unfavorable environment was a much harsher situation compared to the chaos that unfolded at the chow hall. This was a punishment for engaging in a duel with the brute and it sure weighed heavily on him, as did the constant presence of mosquitoes that buzzed around the cramped space. Despite the discomfort, Romeo endured, he knew he had to, he knew he had to keep his head straight even in this trying time.As he swatted futilely at the persistent insects, Romeo couldn't shake the nagging feeling that his incarceration was more than just a coincidence, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time.The thought gnawed at him, casting doubt on the circumstances that led him to this grim place. Was it possible that his imprisonment was planned? Was there someone pulling the strings behind the scenes?Did Miss Chen actually commit suicide?He had expected the autopsy to be concluded within t
