"I'll have to apologize Mr Galliard, it seems that little arrangement will have to wait," Diana suddenly said.
"Oh, I see. Very well then, we'll see later tonight," Galliard responded before leaving to take care of other things.Diana returned her gaze to Kelvin and noticed that he was still talking with the TV presenters."Secondary target is on the move, keep tabs on him," Diana said quietly to seemingly no one."Multiple agents are already on it." A voice responded from her earpiece."Good. Some men came in with the primary target. Run a quick profile on them for me. Also, make sure to have some people following the ones that went through that door." Diana said."I'm already on it." She heard another voice respond from the earpiece."Elvis?", Diana asked in a surprised tone. The voice that responded was not mission control, it was an agent that she didn't know was even on this mission!...."Hey D, how's the life?", Elvis asked. He was currently slowly moving up a flight of stairs with his black suit making it hard for him to be spotted in the darkness.Elvis was one of the top field agents in the CIA! He was originally not supposed to be in this mission due to him being on another one, but it just so happened that his mission had required him to be in London.Since he was going to be in London during the time of this joint operation, the CIA had asked that he lent a hand. Elvis had been quickly briefed on everything that was going on before he arrived.After noticing that the "primary target" had entered the building and some of the men with him had gone through a restricted door in the hall, Elvis immediately trailed after them and that was why he was in this current situation."I wasn't informed that you were on this operation." Diana's voice stated from his earpiece."It was kind of impromptu. Just concentrate on what's going on down there." Elvis said before bringing his full concentration back to the matter at hand.As he reached the top of the staircase, he was met with a passageway that led to a large door at the end that was guarded by two men in security uniforms.Elvis quickly hid behind one of the outstretched walls of the passageway before he could be spotted. He peeked from the corner to check for any cameras but could see none.With nothing else but the guards to worry about, Elvis stepped out and began walking towards the door unhurriedly."Hey, what are you doing here?", One of the security guards asked but Elvis remained silent and just kept walking.Noticing that something was off, the security guard reached for his gun behind his back. Before his hand could even properly grasp the handle, Elvis suddenly started sprinting towards him!The security guard had yet to react accordingly before Elvis had reached him and stabbed a dagger right up his chin!Even as life left his body, the security guard's only thoughts centered around how this whole thing even happened. He could've sworn that Elvis was still quite a distance away a few moments ago.The other security guard watched in confusion as his partner's body dropped limply to the ground. It wasn't until the sound of his lifeless body hitting the ground reached his ears, did he finally realize what kind of situation he was in.He quickly pulled out his gun but before he could pull the trigger, his head tilted back from the force of the 7-inch blade dagger lodging itself into his forehead after being thrown. And just like his companion, his body dropped lifeless to the floor."Gloria, give me a general layout of the building so I know where I'm heading," Elvis said as he adjusted his suit......About three blocks away from the event building sat a large plain white trailer, and inside of it sat about five agents that acted as the mission control for this operation.There were many screens and multiple facilities in the trailer. On some of the screens were many different colored dots that identified the positions of all the agents in this operation."Give me a second," Gloria responded as she adjusted the headset that rested in her head properly.Her fingers rapidly tapped on the keyboard and only one of the colored dots on her screen became visible and a 3d layout of the building's blueprint came up."Once you pass through the door you should be arriving at a room. Eight heat signatures are coming from the room so be on guard," Gloria informed."Thanks." Elvis' voice sounded from the headset."Anytime."....Elvis exhaled and stretched his body to prepare himself mentally for what was going to happen after he opened those doors.He then took off his suit and revealed the knife holsters strapped on his chest. He rolled up his sleeves and pulled out two knives which he held in both hands.After making sure he was ready, he then kicked open the door! There was a large table in the middle of the room with some people sitting around it and some standing, but everyone behind the door was surprised when the door opened so suddenly and they didn't have any time to think before disaster fell.Elvis threw the two knives in his grasp at the two farthest people and one had the knife stab him in the throat while the other had it lodge into his chest! With a single move, he had dropped the number of active people in that room to six!The man closest to Elvis immediately picked up the M4A1 assault rifle by his side and aimed it at him!Quickly spotting the impending danger, Elvis ducked and rolled, pulling out a knife while performing this action. His rolling momentum stopped with him entering a kneeling position while swinging the knife!The assault rifle dropped from the man's grasp when all the fingers on his left hand were no longer connected to his body! The man was about to scream but Elvis stood up and stabbed the knife through his throat!Elvis removed the knife from the man's throat and his lifeless body dropped to the ground. He quickly spun and threw the knife at one of the men that was running towards him from behind!The man fell to the ground after the knife penetrated his right shoulder and disrupted his momentum!4 down.Elvis could see that the remaining four men were now armed and about to fire! He quickly fell and rolled under the table.Simultaneously, the four men bent to look under the table with their guns ready to fire at what they saw next but the next thing they heard was muffled gunshots before their whole existence went blank!Elvis came out from under the table with an automatic pistol, with an attached silencer, in his grasp!He then exhaled before walking toward one of the men who were still alive since all Elvis had done was put a knife through his shoulder to immobilize him.On his way to the man, another one of his companions whose heart was still kicking, slowly raised the gun in his grasp and aimed at Elvis!Without even bothering to look, Eric pointed his gun at him and with another muffled gunshot, life finally left the man's body!Elvis crouched as he reached the man who groaned from the pain of the knife lodged into his shoulder. Seeing his suffering, Elvis then grabbed the knife's handle and twisted it, therefore making the man's pain worse!The man screamed from the pain and looked at Elvis with a pleading gaze but Elvis remained unmoved."I need you to tell me what is going on here and I'll make your death swift," Elvis said."Go to hell," The man spat at Elvis' face.Elvis cleaned off the man's spit and sighed in annoyance before exhaling in frustration."Torture it is then."While Diana trusted that Elvis would get the job done, she didn't like the methods he used to do so.Everyone knew how ruthless Elvis was. Although his ruthlessness had brought him to where he was today, no one felt comfortable about it.Diana was a bit unsettled about the fact that the agency added him to this operation without telling her since she was supposed to be overseeing this whole thing. She silently made a mental note to have a long talk with her superiors after this."I wonder what has got your mind occupied.", Kelvin said and Diana turned in a panic. "Relax, I'm not gonna bite.", Kelvin smiled when he saw her panicked facial expression."Sorry, you just scared me.", Diana laughed and Kelvin's smile widened.She was faking.Kelvin had dealt with thousands of people in his lifetime and if there's one thing he had learned to do to a fault, it was to understand body language.Although Diana had been able to fool him for years and for that, he gave her credit. It was a lot ea
Diana's eyes opened slowly. There was confusion in her gaze for a few moments before her mind quickly replayed the previous activities and she gained clarity.She looked around and noticed that she was completely naked and bound hands and feet to a table."What the fuck?" She muttered as she tried to get her limbs loose but it was a futile attempt.Suddenly the thick metal doors of the room in which she was being held captive in, opened up and Kelvin walked in rolling in a trolley that had a red cloth covering it."Hey, Diana," Kelvin said as he stopped in front of the table she was tied to and smiled at her."It seems we were right after all, you are an Apostle," Diana stated calmly."Correction, I am a lot more than that." Kelvin smiled and Diana's eyes widened in realization.It became clear to her at that moment that the very person they had spent years trying to find had been under their nose for so long!"Saint Jude.", Diana muttered."The one and only," Kelvin's smile widened.
Washington DC.A long convoy of cars drove towards the gates of the white house. One of the security guards moved over to the car at the lead and looked in.The driver quickly showed his FBI identification badge and the security guard nodded in affirmation before signaling at his colleague and the gates opened.The cars drove in and stopped in front of the white house. Multiple men wearing FBI uniforms came down from the cars and walked into the white house orderly.Simon was at their lead and his face didn't look friendly one bit. To be honest, he had no reason to be friendly right now since all hell had broken loose!The whole country was in a state of panic after what has happened these past two months. It started with over 200 deaths that shook the country down to its foundation and now, skinned dead bodies had been displayed for the general public to see!Everyone was on edge now. Even more so, the president was in trouble. The citizens blamed him for the lack of security in the
October 1st, 2022...."So who's your favorite artist?", Kelvin asked as he took a bite from his burger."That's got to be Giveon.", Cassidy replied."Giveon?""Yep, Giveon. You know him yeah?""I don't think there's anyone who doesn't," Kelvin said and they both laughed.It had been three months since the incident that was termed by multiple news agencies as "The Crucifixion".The imposed nationwide emergency curfew had been lifted a while back after the whole issue had been resolved or so they said.There were riots around the country after the curfew was lifted and the reasons for it are already obvious.Fortunately, the police were able to keep everything in control and the president released a statement saying that everything was in control and also apologized for the state of the country in the past few months.He also promised to make sure that this didn't happen again as there were already plans in action to curb the problem from its roots.The majority of the people were not
October 2nd, 2022....The whirring sounds of the plane's jet engines came to a stop, indicating Kelvin's arrival in New York.Kelvin came down to meet his Lamborghini Urus parked on the runway just as he had ordered. He entered the car and caressed the steering with a smile on his face."Oh how I've missed you my love.", Kelvin said as he turned on the car and began the drive to his house.Kelvin had a thing for SUVs and this one was one of his favorites. He had created tons of memories in this car that had created some sort of sentimental value.The drive to his house was smooth after he got out of the traffic jam in front of the airport that had made the supposed one-hour drive to his house, two.When he got to his house, he saw a black Camero parked outside and he immediately knew that Gary was inside.After parking, he stepped out and walked into his house. Just as expected, Gary was sitting on his couch and watching a movie on his 125 inches flat-screen television."Hey Gary.",
October 3rd, 2022....Kelvin groaned as he got up from his bed. His rough, long black hair blocked his sight and he tied it up in a messy bun.He had initially weaved the hair a while back but he loosed it last night since it was becoming uncomfortable. It was once again the time of the day that he hated the most... morning.Kelvin walked downstairs wearing nothing but his underwear that hugged tightly on his butt cheeks. He yawned as he approached his living room.He immediately went on guard when he heard slurping coming from behind him. He quickly turned to see Gary holding a cup of coffee."What the hell are you doing here?", Kelvin asked.Gary remained quiet and just drank his coffee. He knew that Kelvin had a bad memory when he got up in the morning. It usually took a few moments for him to gain clarity on the events of the previous day."I asked what—", Kelvin's sentence was cut short when he remembered that Gary was now staying with him for the moment."Oh shit. I'm sorry br
Earlier that day,Alice was on her way to her yoga class in her black Camero. She and Gary had bought the same car during their third anniversary a few months ago.Speaking of Gary, she hadn't called him since he had left the house about two days ago. She was still angry at him for leaving even though she wasn't done talking. All she wanted to have was a civilized conversation with Gary but he was so afraid of any arguments that she got irritated and started an argument in the end.To be honest, she didn't know who to blame. Herself or Gary.Gary was always avoiding any confrontation of any kind. Even though they had been dating for three years, they had never had any arguments because Gary always avoided them.If they were about to argue, Gary would just apologize and it would end there. While she was not angry about this, it had started to become annoying at some point. Most especially when she wanted to talk to him about something important like the previous topic that led to this
"Got any plans?", Gary asked."Just one. You take care of the guys here, I've got the others.", Kelvin responded."That's nice and all but how am I supposed to do that?""Bro, there's no time. There are hidden cabinets everywhere in this house, as long as it exists, there's a hidden cabinet there.", Kelvin said.He then hit the side of the fridge and the top compartment door opened. Gary looked inside to see three pistols with spare magazines inside the fridge."What the fuck?", Gary said in surprise."Just pick a gun and go!", Kelvin shouted as he grabbed a gun and ran out of the kitchen."Well this is absolute madness.", Gary quickly grabbed the desert eagle at the top and aimed outside the back door at the closest person.BANG!The force from the bullet hitting the man dead square on his chest threw him on his back!Gary looked at the gun with widened eyes. He had shot the man in his bulletproof vest but with the way the man just flew, the bullet had definitely penetrated it.He qu
Music blared from the car's speaker and Henry bopped his head to the beat and rhythm as he drove. He had begun to play songs because the car was too quiet and Kelvin had made it clear from his lackluster response that he was not ready to indulge in small talk. It was almost five pm when they arrived at a place unfamiliar to Henry, but considering he was still new here, most places were unfamiliar. There was a gate in front of them and makeshift walls that seemed to block off a large open area. Looking left and right, Henry noticed that many people flocked around the area."Approach the gate," Kelvin ordered.Henry slowly drove closer to the gate and stopped at the behest of one of the two hefty security men there. "Can I help you?" One of them asked when he got to the side of the car. Kelvin gestured at Henry who reduced the volume of the music before he took off his shades and the man unknowingly gasped in surprise when he recognized who he was."Oh my God, Mr. Kelvin!," The man
"Turn here," Kelvin said and Henry turned the steering wheel to the direction he pointed.The drive was mostly silent with Kelvin telling Henry when to turn when he approached an intersection. Henry had wanted to ask where they were going to, but Kelvin's serious expression as he looked at his phone discouraged him.He could guess that wherever they were going to, it was important to his uncle. The drive went on for a few minutes until Kelvin told him to stop in front of a store."Here?" Henry asked in confusion as he looked at the store. The place looked shady and it made him feel uncomfortable. It was definitely not a place he would expect his uncle to be affiliated with.Kelvin didn't reply him but just stepped out of the car and walked into the store. Henry just sat in there wondering if he should follow him in or not, or if he should just leave.Henry ended up waiting for his uncle for about five minutes and yet there was no sign of him coming out. He was on edge.Suddenly, a w
The men shot at Gary frantically as he jumped out the window. As he was free-falling outside, Gary grabbed the window frame on the third floor and swung himself through the window while maintaining his momentum. He crashed into the room and rolled on the ground before a wardrobe stopped his momentum when he almost broke through it.The men rushed to the window and looked down but they could not see Gary. Confused, they ran out of the room.The noise was bound to bring attention.Gary rolled on his back with a groan before trying to control his erratic breathing.His hands hurt from the force he used to swing himself in here, and he was sure he had dislocated his shoulders.He felt pain in his midsection and looked down to see a bullet wound and a large shard of glass lodged a few inches away from his chest."Yeah, I'm fucked..." Gary said as he bled out on the room's floor......Henry waved at Bianca who waved back before going into her house. He watched her go in before entering
"Hey," Bianca waved at Henry the moment he walked in.Henry smiled and walked over to her table and sat down opposite her."What's good?" Henry asked."Everything now that you're here," Bianca smiled."Okay, kill the flirting Bianca," Henry laughed."I don't think I can," Bianca bit her lower lip.Henry scoffed, "Honestly, I thought what we had was just a one-night stand. I have zero idea why I'm here or why I agreed to be here.""You're here because you know you didn't want it to just be a one-time thing," Bianca responded."Bold assumption. What makes you say that?" Henry asked."Well, if I was wrong you wouldn't be here," Bianca grinned."I can't affirm nor deny the accuracy of that logic," Henry smiled back."I hear the bathrooms here are really neat, wanna come see it with me?" Bianca asked.Before Henry could answer, she had already gotten up and began to walk into the cafe's restroom.Henry just sat there watching her leave with a smile and after a few seconds, he got up and we
Henry drove through the roads with his new car; a Mercedes Benz.Kelvin had told him that this was a gift and that anything that goes wrong with the car, he would have to fix it by himself.If it was in the past, Henry would have rejected the car since he wouldn't know how to gather the money to fix it if something went wrong, but since he knew that he would be getting a job soon, he took on the responsibility.Henry was supposed to have met up with Bianca like ten minutes ago, but since this was his first car, he decided to go on a joyride first and get a good feel of it.However, he had taken a few turns and would be at Bianca's house in a few minutes.He suddenly heard his phone ring and he reached for it to see Bianca's name on the caller ID."Hey, what's up? Sorry, I'm on my way to your place now," Henry said as he picked up the call."Oh, yeah, about that, don't go to my house," Bianca responded."Why? You wanna cancel?" Henry asked."No, I'm just not there. Meet me at the spot
Cassidy sat down in the building's waiting area and looked around nervously. She had on a face mask which she used to cover her face so she wouldn't be identified.After all, she was quite popular now after the release of her first single under her record label.The reason she was even in New York was because she had a concert she would be performing in.'Why am I even here?' Cassidy kept asking herself in her head.'This is someone who hadn't called me in months. Don't I have a sense of dignity?'"Hey Cassy," Cassidy heard a painfully familiar voice and she turned to see Kelvin looking at her with a smile."Hi Kelvin," She responded before standing up.Kelvin stretched his hand to her, "come, walk with me."Cassidy looked at his hand before looking back at his face. Her expression told Kelvin already telling Kelvin what she was thinking."Ok," Kelvin dropped his hand, "why don't you just walk with me? Without holding my hand."Cassidy responded with a groan and they both walked outsi
The door to the apartment opened and Henry walked in. He took off his shoes and threw them to the side and walked into the living room.Kelvin sat on the couch watching the morning news. He glanced at Henry when he came in, but he quickly brought his gaze back to the television."I'm really sorry about this whole thing uncle," Henry apologized as he sat down on the other couch.He had woken up this morning to find out that his uncle was back. He had initially panicked and wanted to rush Bianca out of the apartment, but Kelvin had told him not to.Kelvin had stepped out so that Bianca would not see him when she woke up. When she did, she and Henry had spoken for a bit before she freshened up and was ready to leave.Henry took the car and drove her to the house. It was quite a distance away, but Kelvin had permitted him to take the car for as long as he needed.He was just coming back to find that Kelvin had already returned and was chilling in the living room."You don't have to apolo
Henry and Bianca walked into the building through security who just let them in after a brief search."I thought you lived here?" Bianca asked when they reached the elevator."I do," Henry answered as he clicked on the button to call the elevator and then turned to her."Then why did they search us?""That's standard security procedures," Henry explained, "I might live here, but it's still one of the biggest cooperations in the world.""You do make a point," Bianca nodded slightly.It was at this moment that the elevator doors opened and they both got in. Henry clicked on the button to take them to the 19th floor where the apartment was."I've been meaning to ask, why do you stay here?" Bianca queried."I guess I like it here. Being close to my place of work makes me feel fulfilled in a way," Henry answered.Now that was a lie. Henry didn't want to tell her that he stayed here with his uncle, thinking that she would view that as a red flag and leave.It was completely a lie since he w
Henry put on some of the designer wear that he got during his shopping spree with his uncle and looked at himself in the mirror.Seeing that his outfit was top-notch, he picked up the car key and went down to the parking lot where he got into the car and drove off.He didn't know where he was going since he was new in New York, but thanks to the modern age, all he needed was to search a place up.After scrolling through the multiple suggestions from the internet, Henry made a few choices.Now all that was left, was to party.Henry went from nightclub to nightclub, dancing, and drinking. But just enough to not make him wasted.He still had more places to go to, so it'll be a bummer if he got too drunk to do anything.At least half a bottle of beer per club would do.Henry spent at least thirty minutes at every club, but when he got to the seventh one, he ended up staying a bit longer to clear up his head.He could already feel himself getting tipsy.He found himself resting face down a
