Fully aware of the impending collapse, with a swift and calculated movement, General Romeo Stormbreaker steadied himself amidst the trembling building. The roar of crumbling walls urged him into action as he finally located the trapped woman and child on the unstable third floor."Please good sir. Help us." The woman pleaded with a face that was etched with fear and drenched with tears."Yes, help us. I don't want to die." The teenage boy said."Keep calm. I am here to help." Romeo assured them.In a matter of seconds, Romeo's keen eyes assessed the entangled mess of metal straps that confined the woman and young teenager. Undeterred by the impending danger, he reached for a piece of debris, with his strong hands quickly dismantling the barriers that held them captive.As the last piece of metal fell away, the woman and child looked up at their savior with a mix of gratitude and relief. Without wasting a moment, General Stormbreaker scooped them into his powerful arms, as their fra
In the beautifully and brightly lit opulence of Mrs. Davidson's chamber, shadows danced on the lavish furnishings as she paced restlessly, with a very evident anxiety radiating from her every step. Her usually composed demeanor was shattered, mirroring the chaos that had unfolded during the day of her arrest and her brief custody at the police headquarters."We are finished," she uttered with a tone of defeat, coupled with that, her voice trembled as she spoke. The weight of her thwarted plans pressed heavily on her shoulders, the dream of ascending to the pinnacle of the real estate business now appeared to be slipping away like sand through her fingers.Flanagan, her son, observed her with a troubled expression, and his own confidence eroded in the face of the unforeseen consequences that were sure to prevail following their ordeal with the state police. "How were they able to find out? It is so unreal, everything was orchestrated in the shadows, and it was carefully and meticulo
"Have you heard anything from your men?""Which of them sir?"The team that I requested to pursue some guy who was accompanied by two Chinese men some time ago.""Oh those men? I haven't heard from them ever since."Chills ran down Flanagan's spine as he heard this. "Not even a call from them?""Yes boss, not even a call. It just dawned on me that those men haven't reached out to me ever since. I have been busy ever since sir.""Okay, you know what, you are going to prepare some men and we would go to the hideout that I last got information from them, I have a funny feeling that something has gone very bad.""Yes boss, I will be on that right away.""Be quick on that." He hanged up the call."Sir Flanagan, what makes you think that visiting the hideout that you last called me is necessary in trying to unravel the manner in which Romeo had escaped?"Flanagan was indignant at the question. "Why do you ask such question? You have seen what your failure to supervise the extermination of t
"Boss, over here," one of Don Frago's men called out, leading them to a room where signs of a struggle were evident. Flanagan's heart sank as he recognized equipment and personal belongings scattered on the floor."Damn it," Flanagan muttered under his breath. "This wasn't supposed to happen."The team advanced through the dimly lit corridors, with their footsteps echoing in the eerie silence. Flanagan, Joseph, and Don Frago's men moved cautiously, with their senses heightened. The air was thick with tension as they approached a door at the end of the corridor.Don Frago signaled to his men to stand ready as he slowly opened the door. The sight that awaited them was chilling – lifeless bodies of Don Frago's men lay sprawled on the cold floor. The room was silent, except for the distant hum of machinery.Flanagan's heart sank as he surveyed the grim scene. Shock and disappointment were however etched across his face. "No... What happened here?" he muttered, his voice was barely audi
Flanagan's gaze darted between the lifeless bodies. He also looked at Joseph, and Don Frago, searching for answers that seemed elusive. His internal turmoil manifested physically, as it made his posture tense and his brow furrowed with the weight of indecision.The conflicting evidence, the possible betrayal within the ranks, and the looming threat of repercussions from external forces left Flanagan grappling with a puzzle that seemed to have no clear solution. His anger now mingled with a sense of vulnerability, an unfamiliar feeling for the usually composed leader.The room's eerie silence mirrored the chaos in Flanagan's mind. His fists clenched and unclenched as if trying to grasp a hold of a reality slipping away. Flanagan's once confident demeanor now wavered, and uncertainty painted his features.Joseph, sensing the inner turmoil of his boss, cautiously approached. "We need to gather more information before making any decisions," he advised, attempting to bring a semblance o
Joseph: We are driving along Lontan street.Romeo: Where would you guys be in fifteen minutes?Joseph: We just left the hideout you were taken to when you were abducted, so in fifteen minutes time, I believe we would be heading towards Yale T-junction.Romeo: Great!Joseph: What do you plan to do?Romeo: Just wait and see.Joseph: Alright cousin.As the convoy continued its journey, the road stretched ahead as the city lights flickered by. Flanagan, still immersed in his thoughts, remained unaware of the clandestine communication transpiring beside him.There was silence for a while, until Flanagan would decide to break the silence. "So about my mother's real estate project, I see she is about to make billions annually.""Yes sir Flanagan, I must commend her for choosing to invest this amount for the project.""How about the architectural plan?" "Uh, it's massive.""Can I see it?"Joseph's heart sunk at Flanagan's request. He wanted to deny the fact that the architectural plan was i
Immediately, Joseph Schultz moved closer to Flanagan and kicked him on his calf while raising his hands.The pain from that powerful kick sent shockwaves through Flanagan's body and instantly, he fell on his knees."What was that for Joseph? He shot a cold glance at Joseph.Joseph now on his knees said. "You have to be reasonable sir Flanagan or you would get us killed. We need to do what they ask us to do.""I am a Davidson and it is inappropriate for someone of my class to take orders from anyone." Flanagan protested as he seemed to be resolute with his perception about himself."I am sure that you are smart enough to know what these guns are capable of doing." Joseph then turned to the armed men."I am sorry guys, my brother her has a disorder with his ego." He smiled, feeling arkward as he did so, silently praying to the good Lord that his time on earth would not be concluded today and at this point in time.Just as he had said that, a Volkswagen golf diesel automatic drove into t
Flanagan's eyes fluttered open, only to be met with the disorienting sight of a sterile hospital room. Panic seized him as he realized he was bound to the bed, unable to move. His heart raced as he scanned the room, with his eyes widening in terror at the sight before him.Three figures in surgical overalls loomed over him, their faces were obscured by nose masks, their heads covered in hair nets. Their presence sent a chill down Flanagan's spine, and his mind was racing with fear and uncertainty.But it was the sight of Romeo Stormbreaker, Joseph Schultz, and two high-ranking military officers that sent an extreme wave of terror coursing through him. Flanagan's breath caught in his throat as he realized the gravity of his situation, the realization sinking in like a weight on his chest."Where am I?" Flanagan's voice trembled as he addressed the imposing figures before him, his words barely a whisper amidst the silence of the room."Mr Flanagan, you are in a secure location…""Shu
