"Why have you decided to fail me a second time, Morris?" Mr. Sterling's voice boomed as soon as Morris entered his office.His expression was stern and his eyes were piercing.Morris bowed his head. He was feeling the weight of Mr. Sterling's disappointment bearing down on him. "I... I'm sorry, sir," he stammered with a voice that was barely above a whisper. "It wasn't intentional. Things just didn't go as planned. Our inside man didn't get us any more info…"But Mr. Sterling would not have any of that as he paced back and forth behind his desk. "Unbelievable! You put your trust in Tom?" he muttered and shook his head in disbelief. "I trusted you to handle this, and once again, you've let me down."Morris swallowed hard, unable to meet Mr. Sterling's gaze.

The reputation of this company,” and pointed a finger to

Eric's car pulled up to the entrance of the ESU barracks.It was getting late and the sun was beginning to set.No sooner had he turned his car engine down than a swarm of reporters gathered around him. "Mr. Wood, over here! Can you tell us about the mission?" one reporter shouted while elbowing her way through the crowd to get closer.Eric adjusted his tie, flashed a polite but weary smile. "It was a team effort. We did what we had to do," he said."Was there any moment you thought you wouldn't make it back?" another reporter, a young man with eager eyes, pushed forward to ask. His recorder was practically under Eric's nose."Every mission has its risks," Eric replied and maintained his composure. "But we trusted in our training and in each other."A lady with a notepad in one hand and a pen in the other managed to squeeze her way to the front. "What's next for your family now, Eric? Any plans now that you've got them back?"Eric paused, a far-off look in his eyes. "First thing's to

Lana’s phone had barely begun to ring when she snatched it from her desk. It was Williams, somewhere along the lines of her going to Emerald Multisource Corporations to see Eric and do some other things as he wasn’t always online and her ‘bumping’ into Williams, they had exchanged contacts and had been keeping in touch, calling and texting even late into the night.“Hi Will.” She said excitedly.“Lana, how are you doing?”“Well I am okay, just my usual, working and all that, how has work been for you?” She asked and rotated in her chair.“The usual too but I am on a break now and that is actually why I called you. Do you mind joining me for lunch?” She smiled, she could just imagine him leaning on a wall at work and biting nervously on his lower lip, wondering if her answer was going to be a yes or a no.She opened her mouth to speak when someone knocked on her door and came in.“Hold on.” she said into the phone and covered the speaker part with her hand, then drew the phone away fr

It was a luxurious and opulent establishment, situated on the edge of a glittering lake.The hotel had been Williams' choice for their date tonight, and he was excited to show it to Lana, and more excited as it would help him with effecting his plans."I think you'll like this place," he said as they walked through the entrance. "It's like a castle, with its turrets and balconies overlooking the water."Lana looked around in wonder, "I didn't know you had such exquisite taste," she exclaimed, as they walked into the lobby of the hotel.Williams couldn't help but feel a swell of pride.

The question hit Lana like a bomb. She nodded. "Yes, they are. I have a really close relationship with my Dad and my... umm, well, They mean the world to me.""Your Dad, and? I thought you were an only child?” He asked, leaning closer towards her.“Yes, I am.”“So who's the and?”“Umm… never mind.” Lana said and drank from her glass.“But I do,” Williams laughed. “Although I don't intend to pry.”“Just a close relative of mine. You'll get to meet him someday, I promise, "she replied.“Oh nice, I sure would love to meet him. How about your mom?" He continued to ask."I don't want to talk about her for now, it'll open up old wounds.” She responded and looked away, as if the question made her remember hurtful experiences.“I understand. It's privacy and I respect that.”“And you, tell me about your family.” She tried to change the topic.“My family? Umm… Well, I lost my both parents and had to stay with my aunt and her family who treated me like trash. I left them and decided to fend for

“Morris, I have to talk to you about something.” Williams said when he saw Morris Huggo. He had tapped his shoulder from being and planted a micro recorder in his collar without Morris’ idea.“What is this about though? We cannot be seen this close to one another.” Morris reminded him.“Yes I know, but this is important too and I have not been able to get Mr. Sterling.” Williams said.“Okay then, go on, I’ll relay the message to Mr. Sterling when I see him.” Morris said, still walking with Williams close behind him.“The thing is…” Williams started and just then Alisha appeared from the corner and walked straight in their direction.
