"Is it just me, or is it weird that this place is called Sky Mall? Just like the hotel?" Tristan asked no one in particular as he stared at the building in front of him. As he stepped out of the car in a long jacket suitable for the weather, a hat, and a nose mask, Tristan looked like a figure from the '90s going into a mall for who knows what?As he stepped inside the busy mall, his eyes scanned the arena for all the security cameras that he had seen in the sketch sent to him from the drone and he smirked.The mall was even bigger on the inside, and it was easy for customers to get stranded looking for one item inside if not for the banners that showed the location of each item section."Is there something you are looking for sir!" A saleswoman approached Tristan, most times they were at the mall to persuade customers into buying an item, while sometimes they assisted in directing."Yes," Tristan replied."I need you to do something for me, I'm shopping alone today b
Tristan ordered another bottle of wine, while he sat down to continue listening. The talk about John Wilson's death kept on hitting him differently each time he thought about it.____"Once we get to Florida, you'll know what to do, you have the plans don't you?""I do, and I have gone through every phase.""Good, now that everyone knows what to do, will have to hurry, Tristan Coleman is no longer as easy to deal with as before. He seems smarter than a normal human being and I do not doubt that he's working with the agency to keep himself safe. Today, I'll finally know what he looks like.""I wonder though," the other man spoke up,"Why does the boss want Tristan so bad?"_____After hearing that question Tristan was all ears, he wanted to see and know if there were any reason for one man to want his life, but the response he got was rather disappointing._____" You and I don't even know who the boss is, we only know that he exists somewhere through Fred, so how do you expect me to k
As all eyes stared in his direction and Tristan's heart skipped a beat for a second. For a second he almost forgot that he was with someone else's face."Hey Bryan, are you alright? You look tense?" One of them asked him.Tristan wondered what they were doing on the computer, each one had a device in front of them and seemed to be on a very important job."Yeah, I'm good," Tristan replied and walked towards a vacant seat at the far end of the room. He believed that Bryan occupied it since it was the only vacant spot."You should be leaving for Florida soon, the flight had been arranged and everything had been sorted out. Also, we have all created a bank account with fake IDs to send all the money into."Tristan was rather clueless about what the man was talking about, but he only nodded his head and sat down in front of the computer.He immediately saw the locker that was spoken of and it had a fingerprint sensor. Tristan placed his index finger on the sensor and hoped it worked. Fort
"I'm way ahead of you, young man, just step out of the bend slowly, if you have a weapon then slowly drop it, you do not want to get on my bad side do you?"Tristan's heart skipped a bit, he wasn't sure whether or not he was being spoken to or someone else, but as far as he was concerned, he was the only one at the bend. "How did he know?" Tristan wondered as he looked around only to realize that there were security cameras everywhere. "Oh shit!" He whispered, how could he have missed that?"You had ten seconds." Fed's voice echoed through the hallway and Tristan knew that he was busted, but it still didn't make sense to him. Was there someone else keeping an eye on him? Was he being tracked?Without hesitation, Tristan slowly walked out of the bend with both his hands raised in surrender. As soon as they set eyes on him, both of the men who were standing by Fred on each side readied their guns to fire at Tristan, but Fred stopped them and said,"Do not waste your time, I don't know
"I have been waiting for a long time to have you in my hands, and now that I do, I am not just going to let you sip off," Tristan exclaimed in a fit of rage.While the fight was going on a few minutes back, Tristan had asked the system to unlock the escape emergency door and once it did, Tristan directed their combat in there.Fred was undeniably strong, and his tactics and aims were good, but Tristan was better. With the help of the system, he dominated the fight and always had the upper hand.In no time, Fred was at his mercy and Tristan was holding him up against the wall and pressing tightly unto his throat. "Mr Coleman will be very proud of me that I caught you," Tristan smirked and he made sure to choke Fred until he was almost out of breath."You'll never succeed, we have a foolproof plan," Fred muttered he struggled to breathe and speak, but he was sure that the man in front of him was not going to do much."We'll see about that," Tristan mumbled and punched him across the fa
"Fred!" Stella exclaimed, as two of Tristan's guards threw Fred into that room. He was still in the state of unconsciousness so he did not respond to Stella."Your boss isn't it?" Tristan walked majestically into the room, the smirk on his face was enough to tell Stella that he was on another level. He was far ahead of them. To further buttress his point, Tristan took out the flash drive from his jacket and flaunted it on her face."I guess your so-called boss, is now here with you. look at this in my hand," he said,"This is everything that underworld of yours planned isn't it? hmm." he scoffed and took a few steps closer to her.He grabbed her by the chin and looked directly into her eyes."They have failed." He said and Stella didn't hesitate to slap him across the face.She wanted to start a fight, but Tristan pinned her down, but lost his balance and they both fell on the bed with Tristan over her.She looked into his eyes, those charming that that was close to making love to her
It felt as though they couldn't wait for his return, or perhaps they couldn't. Because, as soon as Tristan got out of the car, everyone including his mother, Ariana, Aunty Sarah, and her children Tyla and John were waiting outside for him."It's cold outside, you guys didn't have to come out to see me," Tristan said with a smile on his face. Deep down, he felt welcomed, it warmed his heart to see that they were happy about his arrival but then again, he was going to break the news to them today that he was leaving for Florida the next day."Why not!" his mother embraced him with a warm smile. Seeing her son back home alive was a relief. Throughout his absence, she had tried so hard to hide how worried she was and had also tried not to call him often to avoid his complaints."Uncle," John and Tyla greeted him simultaneously. Being his aunt's children, they were his cousins but due to the age gaps between them, they saw him more like an uncle than a cousin.He hugged them and asked how
"If anyone had ever told me that you were going to be the one here tonight, trust me I would have never believed them, a man of honor like yourself shouldn't be involved in such cases but... who am I to judge you?" Briggs said.He sat over a desk, on one side and Fred on the other side. It was a detective session and there was no smile on Briggs's face."Listen to me, Briggs," Fred lowered his voice and took his head lower to the table."Keep your bribery to yourself, Mr Benson," Detective Briggs interjected,"Whatever you are willing to offer me to help you out of this, just know that Mr Coleman can give me a hundred times more," he added with a sneer."Will you just shut up and listen to me?" Fred yelled and Detective Briggs raised his brow in surprise."Wow," he exclaimed,"I've never seen a convict act this bold in my years as a detective, but either way, I'll skip whatever it is that you want to tell me. Just answer my question directly, who is after Mr. Coleman's life? "" I wis
