"Sorry? What are you sorry for?” Mr. Price asked him.“The text messages…they have all been me.” he said and for a moment it was all quiet in there.“Just walk him out of here, further questioning would be done in the prison.” Masen said. He was a hard man.“Wait, don’t be too rash. This is someone I have known four a very long time, I need to know why he would want to do something like this after so many years of being devoted to me.” Mr. Price said.“Do not let emotions and time cloud your judgement Price, this man threatened you, your well-being and that of everyone around you.” Mr. Wane cautioned.“No Wane, this is different.” Price said.“Speak up then.” Mr. Wane said to Treat.“It’s my wife and daughter.” Treat said.“Barbara and Berta? What happened to them.” Mr. Price asked, looking a little confused.“They were kidnapped. It would be one week tomorrow and the kidnapper didn’t even want ransom. He just wanted a name.” Treat said, looking around at all the faces in the room.“A
Treat looked around in fear and no one said a thing. About a minute or two later, Mr. Price’s phone rang.“Yes, you got them?” He asked.“Yes, Sir. We got them… All clear” the man from the other end responded.He got his answers, thanked whoever it was and then hung up.“They’ve got them. Barbara and Berta are fine. But there is a catch.” Mr. Price said.“And what is that?” Masen asked, level-headed.“They couldn’t get the people involved, they had quick intel and guns too and it was too risky to open fire with Barbara and Berta in there. They got away.” Mr. Price said.“That is not much of a problem. If they tried this time, they would try again and we would be sure to get them that time. I am only glad the wife and daughter are both fine.” Mr. Wane said.“Thank you so much everyone and I am so sorry Mr. Price, I feel ashamed of myself.” Treat said and bowed his head.“It is okay, I am only pissed you didn’t tell me in time and I totally understand you had to do what you had to do,
Williams was already in the cafe waiting for Mr. Sterling. He was sitting somewhere he wouldn’t be exactly noticed and the cameras wouldn’t get much of him.“Cool spot to pick eh?” Mr. Sterling asked him, immediately he found him.“I’d say wise instead.” was the young man’s reply.Mr. Sterling had been surprised to see him at first, he had not been expecting someone so young but he betrayed none of his thought on his face.Morris Huggo was there with him too but he had chosen a corner some ways away from them, far enough to arouse any suspicion they were together but close enough to react fast enough if their anonymous friend decided to pull a fast one.“So what is it you called me out here for? I am a very busy man you know.” Mr. Sterling said. He wasn’t about to get roughed up by a lad probably as old as his own son or a few years older.“Calm down now, I have nothing against you, have a cup of coffee on me and I see you brought a friend with you although I am left wondering why he
“Well here is how it would go…you get me into the company and then I work for some time, build trust with a lot of people and when the time is right, there is this chip I am going to use in hacking into the Emerald Multisource Corporation’s official security and cash account systems, where all of those money is generated and brought in and then I just mess things up from the inside. Redirect the money inflow to a different holding account and then we can split it up. That easy.” William finished his explanation.“I don’t know a lot about the technology surrounding EMC but I do know that a chip that could do that much potential damage would be detected before it can even fully get into the systems. How do you plan to get around that?” Mr. Sterling asked.“Oh please. Surely you don’t think that the chip I am talking about is just every regular chip? This is the real deal, the chip in question is one of the best ever made, made by yours truly. It is backed by a strong set of codes that m
Meanwhile, Ellen confessed to James that she had noticed someone trailing her lately. She had kept it to herself because she didn't want James to put himself in danger for her sake.James was furious. "You should have told me," he scolded. "We're in this together, Ellen. I need to know if you're in trouble." "I'm sorry, James. I just didn't want you to worry.”That weekend, they had reported the issue of the attack to the MD of Sky Suites, Mr. Thompson. Unknown to Mr. Thompson, James was the young Master of the Wane family. Mr. Thompson is a middle-aged man with a kind face and a warm smile. He has neatly trimmed hair and wears glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.He sat behind his desk, going through his computer while James and Ellen sat at the opposite end.After waiting for half an hour, it was finally there turn to see the MD and were ushered to Mr. Thompson's office by his assistant, Lauren.The general assistant had urged them that the matter would be resolved but James
Lana stepped out of her car on a Monday morning in front of Emerald Multisource Corporation. She was here to see Eric Wood concerning a certain partnership with her company and there were few things that needed to be put in place and some papers to be signed.She stepped into the building looking in her bag, trying to make sure she got everything she’d be needing and so she didn’t see someone walking towards her.In the last seconds, before the unavoidable she lifted her head and eyes out of her bag and she was walking into a person, a guy.She bumped hard into him but he didn’t even move or stagger. She took about two and a half steps back and straightened up and looked at the man in front of her, with his mustache just a shadow, she took in every angle of his face, trim and leaned muscled, strong biceps threatening to burst out his short sleeved shirt, she took in all of him and his height and glory-talk about Greek gods, Jesus!He was saying something, “I am really sorry I didn’t s
Lana was aware that she had promised Ellen to sit still and not run around to Emerald Multisource Corporation looking for the guy she had bumped into. But when she had caught herself thinking back and replaying the moment thrice and some person having to tap her back to reality twice she decided that it was time for her to discover who Mr. Greek god was and so off she went to Emerald Multisource Corporation, and besides she still had things to go through with Eric, she told herself.She drove to EMC and remained in her car for the next five minutes trying to weigh her actions and decisions and to know if what she was doing was the best for her or it was just some in the moment crazy action induced by seeing a really beautifully made figure of the opposite sex.She sat thinking for a while more and then decided she was going to leave, she started to reverse and looked through the rear view mirror and there was Mr. Greek god making his way back to the company from wherever and immediate
“What do you think you are doing? Getting all chummy with Lana, I saw you both together. Do you even know who she is?” Mr. Sterling said through his teeth.“Chill man, it’s nothing special. I already did my research and I know she is Lana Wane, affiliated in some way to the CEO and the mystery young master.” William said, a wide smile plastered on his face.“So you do know who she is. Do you realize what you are doing? Your boyishness could cost us both.” Mr. Sterling complained.“Fine fine, I hear you. I’ll keep my distance from now on. Nothing to worry about there, see?” Williams said and lifted his hands placating Mr. Sterling. He knew what he was doing and he made it appear to Mr. Sterling that it was just a boyish attraction.He planned to use Lana in some way that he had not figured out how yet.When they bumped into each other the first time, he didn’t know exactly who she was but he had asked questions after and everyone had only been so glad to give him answers to all his que
