“Sir,” Sara looked at her tablet and called John's attention. They had decided to return in a single car, the men: John and Gladiator in front and the two ladies: Rita and Sara behind. Gladiator was the one driving.

“Twelve of the major shareholders are requesting to withdraw their investment by selling their stocks. Our shares are plummeting due to the rumor circling around that you're responsible for those deaths. It's on every news channel,”

“Is that so? Let them sell their shares,” John grinned, he looked so unbothered that Sara frowned.

Rita sat beside Sara with her palms locked and her head down. She still felt the embarrassment of being dragged around like a dog. She hated it so bad her teeth were gritted.

“John, I think we need to do something, we could go bankrupt and lose everything,” Sara voiced her fears.

The thought of the Draken falling to rags made Rita smile. But with her head down, no one saw it.

John actually chuckled, he'd make them regret abandoning the boat a

    “Give me six more bottles!” Tommy Murphy ordered and the bartender, a hot female, fresh from college and serving for the little pay, hurried to fulfill his order. Tommy Murphy grabbed a wad of cash from his wallet and dropped it into her hands after she presented his order. Using his big hands, he lifted all six bottles of beer. “Pay for the bottles and keep the change. Any of these folks try to take it, let me know. I'm in the media,” Without waiting for a response he bounced out with the bottle hoping for an interference, a reason to rage but no one moved. They knew him well enough to stay clear from his path once he drank. No one wanted to wake up in the hospital from the beating of a bull-like bulked male. The only thing of value to him in his car was a picture of two girls with a very bright smile pasted on his dashboard. His car slid into the garage and he jumped off. Proceeding into the kitchen, moving without turning on the lights because he had mastered the layout of his

    “Here you go sir,” one of Lucky's men placed a very hot coffee on the table before John. “Thank you,” Lucky sat beside him on a similar brown couch, both of them watching the news cast unfolding before their eyes. The reporter, a tight-clothed blonde, announced a review of the case involving the Drakens' CEO stating “New information has just come to light involving the CEO that might just clear out his involvement with the brutal incidence that has the men and women of Los Angeles at the edges of the chair with weapons,” She went on to announce details that John knew already. Evidence of the purchasing of the building five days after the men were hung on crosses, the linking of the incident to Spectre that on the surface ran an influential oil company. Evidence of secret videos sent to the head manager of Spectre with text of work well-done by the killers.The bribery of Tommy Murphy had been excluded by Tommy's cooperation. Lucky eyes were wide open in amazement and he was chuck

    John Draken walked through a series of turns, following the increasing footsteps of Luciano deeper into the farm. They could hear the shouts of men calling for Luciano. John could hear the anger in their voices. “I'm trying to prevent an unnecessary fight for the sake of my child,” Luciano said, pointing to a path of clearing that led to a silo for storing grains. “Hide here till I've been able to talk to Gravano and Escobar. I'll try to get them to reason and talk,” John looked from the sillo to the man standing in front of him, his heart warmed. “I understand but we Drakens don't run from anyone. We'll face them head on,” Luciano could feel the determination in John's gaze so he took a step back and nodded. “I'd direct them here,” Within a few minutes the high voices in the distance drew closer till Garvano and Escobar stood in front of John with all the men, both John and his opponents, guns pointed at each other. Garvano and Escobar walked and carried themselves like pro wr

    With Lucky and Gladiator at his side. John entered the room, where eleven men sat around a conference table. He sighted Luciano, Gravanor and Escobar, acknowledging their presence with a nod. “I welcome you all to this gathering. My name is John Draken, and I'd be the new leader.” John said, getting straight to the point. “Any objections?” The men had their right-hands and two guards standing guard with fingers trigger ready. The hall fell silent when John took his seat at the head table. “You're not a capable leader and you can never be my leader,” Andre said, turning everyone's attention to him. He was one of the older members.“I agree with you,” Carmine said to the board. “He's green and cannot handle our affairs. What happens when the police get involved? How is he going to settle it? With war?” John leaned back in his seat and relaxed. Members of the table were whispering to one another. Lucky and those that John convinced himself kept a straight face and were silent. “The

    “Boss, I’m there. My team is in position,” Gladiator’s voice relayed over the speaker of a phone that rested on a white table. There were three people surrounding this device. Sara’s eyes focused on the words coming from the speaker, while Rita's gaze never left the screen of her phone. John leaned back into his office chair and probed his chin with his fist, using the armrest as a support. “What do you see?” “According to the Intel that was in the documents. We were to find a ship on this dock loading to move, but there’s nothing here. It’s an empty harbor.” John's brows creased. “That can’t be right, Jones won’t drop an Intel if he wasn’t sure,” “it is really empty,” “check around, it might not be anchored at the usual spot. Once you see it, remember you’re to set the explosives and retreat. It’s Xavier’s loss this time around,” “Yes boss,” Gladiator said. John relaxed further into his seat. “Wait, I see something….” Gladiator continued, his voice taking on a static noise towa

    Sara watched John look on in silence for a very long time. “I have my suspicions, but I need to carry out my investigation,” John said. “What do you think about Rita?” John signed, looking out at the house that the driver was pulling into. Gladiator stood on the lawn, pacing the length with his hand on his chin. John's brow furrowed at the sight of that. “I think she's confused at the moment with all that has happened to her,”“Yeah, I know -” Sara's words ceased because Gladiator was by her window, tapping with an urgent look in his eyes. “Driver!” Sara called.“Yes ma,” the man said and the window frame wound down. “Is Rita with you?” Gladiator asked, locking eye contact with John, who turned to face Sara. “No, I left her at home to pick up John knowing you were close by,” A sinking feeling settled in his stomach when he glanced toward the house. “What happened?” John asked. Gladiator shook his head. “You should see this,”Rita's assigned room was a mess. Someone had turn

    John hurried after Sara, who was almost sprinting, weaving her way between and around shoppers in the mall. They beeline for the cloth section where two of Lucy’s men stood guard, imitating the security personnels in the mall. “What’s wrong?” John asked Sara. “I don’t know what to make of it,” Sara led John into the building. Police officers were moving around, taping a section of the cloth line with their yellow tape to keep off visitors. John’s heartbeat increased, fearing the worst had happened to Rita. “Excuse me,” one officer said. “You can’t be here. This is a crime scene,” “No, you don’t understand. I rushed to get my friend because my bag is in that section,” Sara explained, trying to push her way through. She succeeded long enough for John to peek through and see that on the floor lay two Spectre men with a bullet to their skull. Rita’s phone, pink in its outer cover, lay a few feet from them, damaged beyond repair. John searched the section with his gaze, looking fo

    For a moment, John’s mesmerized by the kiss. It stirred a lower part of him that threatened to break forth when his hand moved and locked her head in place.She whined and pulled back when his grip forced her to stretch her wounds, but before she could resume, he pulled back completely. Both of them staring into each other’s eyes.She reached out to caress his face. “Today, I nearly died and the only thing I could think of was not fully expressing my feelings to you.”“What happened to you? Why did they come after you and what does Spectre want?”“I don't know, but if they're this serious about me, it means they want my dad to build something dangerous, and he has refused.”John's brow furrowed at that statement. He could not place a finger on it, but it rubbed him in a strange way.“When has your father ever rejected a fully funded project?”“That's the thing that scares me. Why would he reject this?”John shook his head. Rita tried to sit up, and he assisted her by placing a pillow

    "Rick, tell me how you got here." Jones asked. Rick managed to get himself to walk by putting one hand around Jones's neck. "At this point, it doesn't really matter how I got here. We have to get out of here before they find us.“Why? ” Jones frowned. "Why do we need to leave? We thought you would be banging and flexing your ladies.”"Believe me, if I had the choice, by this time I would be in bed, but I am here being supported by an ugly stinking man." Jones chuckled and handed Rick his gun. "Do you still know how to use one of these, or is a lesson required?" Rick grabbed it with laugther. "Yes, if I get to shoot off one of your toes!" “Passed successfully. I do not need to show you how to hang yourself with a rope. John thinks Alice murdered you."“No! She actually saved my life. There is a lot going on, and the Drakens are in greater danger this time, with John as the target. "What exactly do you mean?" "You and I both know that underneath all of that, John is still very so

    John jolted against the chains that held him to the metal chair and shivered as the cold splash of water ran down his body. His hand rattled and buckled against the tight chain that kept his hands locked behind the chair. He blinked and attempted to make out the shape of his surroundings, but all he could see were blurry figures and a moving light above him. There were two large windows on either side, and he could feel the breeze on his skin. Cold and unforgiving.It made his teeth chatter, and he hissed instinctively. The face above him was blurry, and he had to squint his eyes to see the figure. "Did you miss me?" Melissa smiled down at him. She patted his hair and gripped it hard enough to hurt. “We have a lot to catch up on dear John.” John chuckled and shook his head. “Am I in heaven ? Did Xavier send his bitch on his little errand? "Oh, I am so scared..."“Y-You...” Melissa's face distorted into a frown, and she punched John hard. He chuckled and stared at her, telling her

    The rate at which the wind blew across the scene made everything appear too small and insignificant. Jones, however, was unwilling to take chances.The hideout itself stood alone in the shadow of its surroundings. Pale, plain, and the type you will walk past without looking twice. To the untrained eye, it appears completely lifeless. Jones, who was pressed to the ground in hiding, raised his head to survey the surroundings once more. It appeared vacant. It appeared empty. However, his experience in the Mafia had taught him that nothing is as it seems. "Why would they have brought John here?" Jones said to himself. He reached into his waistband and pulled out a revolver. The handy fella had always been his go to in difficult situations. The location was on the body of one of the diseased men he had buried. He came here without expectation but thank God. He exhaled. The car he was driving was parked a long distance away; even now, he praised his quick thinking for walking the re

    “Four hours have passed.” Richard grunted while trying to raise himself from the bed he laid. He couldn't believe that the phone he called John on a few hours ago was dead silent and unreachable.“Sir, you need to rest or you'll open your wounds!” A nurse rushed to him and tried to prevent him from sitting up. He shoved her aside and tried to jump down from the bed.More nurses rushed into the room with five male doctors and managed to subdue him long enough to administer an injection that made him drowsy. “I'm sorry, I can't let you leave. If anything happens to you. John would have my head.” The head doctor said with a bow. “Come close,” Richard ordered and whispered a few words into the doctor's ears before succumbing to the darkness that is sleep. The doctor stood straight with a pale face. “Get me my phone!” he ordered the nearest nurse who ran out in haste. Sara, Gladiator and Veronica sat at a table with their heads bent over several spread out images with the criss-cross

    Having dismissed Alice and Veronica, John allowed himself to slump into the hospital bed after he confirmed that the door was locked and secured. He raised his dress to reveal where a bullet had grazed him and was currently bleeding. Walking now, he staggered to a first aid box at the corner of the room and threw the contents and the bed, grabbing the neccesary items. Pouring the spirite content on his wound made him hiss and he had to grit his teeth from the sting. His phone flashed and a number displaying Jones names popped up. “Hey, I thought you wouldn't call!” John tried to sound normal and cheerful but having know John for long, Jones could catch the subtle hint in his voice. “What's wrong? What happened?” Jones enquired.“It's nothing serious, just a bullet scratch. Why do you sound so out of breath? Where are you?”“ I've been digging… graves. John you need to see this. It's serious and I'm not sure how to process this.” “Jones, where're you?”“I'm on the outskirt of tow

    “Look around you, John.” Xavier shouted. “What do you see?” John looked around the empty factory building he had chosen with a few drops of water rolling off the ceilings and shoved Melissa’s forward. She stumbled forward and fell on her face. It agitated Xavier who raised his gun. John grinned. “You didn’t grace us with your men… I thought you never moved without a guard?” John asked with a grin. “You know what? This is like the first time we met. Now we’re here again in a slightly altered circumstance, making another deal. Isn’t that lovely?” John had bound Melissa’s mouth and the back of her hand. She struggled and tried to rush into Xavier’s arm, but John placed the cold end of his gun on her head. “Did you bring it with you?” John asked.Xavier raised a white nylon bag and brought out a couple of vials.“It’s more than enough and it’ll treat ten people.” “For your sake, let’s hope you’re right. How about we test it?” John asked and brought out a syringe filled with blood. A

    At a graveyard in Los Angeles where the sky was moonless and the Earth hardened beneath your feet. Jones slammed the hard edge of the shovel into the earth and threw out dirt. The headstoned above Jones as he bent down, going about the digging, spelled the name “Rick” This was his friend's resting place but he's been having a feeling that all wasn't right and there was something missing. Once he had gotten enough dirt out of the hole he forced open the coffin. A foul stench rocked into Jones so hard he shielded his nose with his elbow, gagging and trying not to throw-up the breakfast he had eaten. But, he had seen what he wanted and he wasn't sure how he was going to handle this news. Whoever was in the coffin was dead, he was very sure about that but it wasn't Rick. “Damn!” Jones groaned and slammed the coffin shut and climbed out the grave. “Alice” he whispered to himself. “What are you after?”The drive back to the Motel he rented was without drama, being an easy ride he showe

    “What is it that you're doing?” Melissa asked, crossing her legs and leaning into the driver side of her seat to get comfortable even though John had a gun to her head. “You think I'm here to joke around?” John growled and clicked off the gun's safety.Melissa turned sharply to face him, looking directly into his eyes.“There were cameras when you abducted me and in your famous car at that. Surely, you won't be so foolish as to assume that no one recognized the famous billionaire?” John chuckled. “Did I really kidnap you? I don't think you know much in the way of deception… no one there cares about your whereabouts because to them you're perfectly fine but you may not be if you keep testing my patience.” “I think you'll use the best of your time if you keep your eyes on the road. I won't want to be caught dead with you.” “Shut your mouth or I'll pull the trigger!” Melissa glared at John but otherwise kept silent while John floored the car till he arrived at a hideout west of La's

    The echoes of the man's feet as they hurried up the blocks, approaching the room, seemed to dig into his flesh. John could feel the sweat drop gather at the top of his brow, many parts of him felt like leaping out of control and launching savagely at Xavier's evil grin. John shook his head gently and smiled. “And what exactly makes you think I came here alone?” Xavier's brow furrowed and he brought the gun in his hand closer to Richard's head, pressing it firmly while looking out the window at the cars his men parked.“Whatever game you think you're trying to pull off won't work, lower the gun. Alice, take the gun from him.” Xavier yelled. “I can't do that…” she replied. Alice did not make an attempt to move because she was sure that with the cold gaze John directed at her she'll be dead before she can dislodge the gun. “With my men, you're surrounded… surrounded! Drop the gun and I'll give you a quick death.”“You actually believe that I'm surrounded, really look around, who do
