“Who sent you!” He screamed at the top of his lungs while he raced as two assassins audaciously sprinted towards him.
After a few moments of not closing in on him due to how swiftly he paced, they returned to the moving van and zoomed toward him with one absolute mission; ‘Kill him!’ Within ten seconds in a marathon race to preserve his life, hot, dripping sweat engrossed his head as he could breathe the hotness of the thick air. He perceived no one could come to his rescue and the only option was to keep running till his legs failed him. The black van dangerously swerved towards his sprinting position, and before he could blink his eyelids, it viciously slammed him through. He uncontrollably fell across a field floor surrounded by thick bushes with his shoulders plunged against the wet grasses. He uncontrollably lost control while falling and somersaulted multiple times with his head persistently colliding against the thick bushes across the road a few miles from Manchester City’s Southgate Godfrey’s Lake. He was slightly unconscious, still struggling to breathe with blood stamped on his head, his eyes shut in pounding pain. Amidst the terrible somersaulting with bones sore and plunged in pain, he managed to gut out. “If you all will kill me. I'd have to watch my breath gradually slip through my nostrils!” He sneered at them while he persistently coughed out blood from his pierced lips. The five assassins raised their brows in shocked silence and wondered how the victim would remain vehement even after their van hit him hard. “Sure! I would be most delighted to watch you gasp to death as no one would ever save you from the inevitable.” “Take him to the closest Lake at once! We have a few minutes to finish him up and return to base!” One of the assassins blatantly bawled; his eyeball gleamed with no mercy. A few hours ago, Michael halted a perilous plan of three assassins to exterminate a young woman. Ironically, the same merciless fate has befallen him. Michael gasped and panted heavily as they dragged him across the thick bush and finally shoved his struggling bruised body against the edge of Southgate Godfrey's Lake. Amidst the scornful smirk across their faces, he audaciously spoke out. “If you're bent on taking my life then you all would work hard for it!” “I’m not going down until I'm certain I have no ounce of strength to fight!” He boldly expressed with his fists clenched while he managed to stand firm with his staggered weakened feet. “Ridiculous!” One of the exterminators smirkfully taunted. “In all our years of untraceable extermination, we haven't met a bold soul as yours, but tonight, this moment would be your last showdown! I assure you!” “You want to go against five assassins? Who the hell are you to exude such guts–” The assassin was still in gloating speech when Michael sprinted towards him with every vigor he got in him, his forehead sweaty and swollen gripped with external injuries. Without hesitation, he targeted a precise firm blow against the assassin's unprotected face. Before the other four assassins would catch the glimmer of what was unfolding. He smashed him the second time. JAW PUNCHES!!! “Urghhh!” He screamed out in pain, his jaw instantly turning reddish, the jaw point cracked. “Arghhh! My God!” The hit assassin bellowed in excruciating pain, his jaw stiffened as he fell to his knees to catch his reverberating breath. “You!? What the hell!” Two of the other assassins drew a sharp exhalation and ran towards him while the other two behind screamed at the top of their lungs in uncontrollable rage as they watched their colleague’s jaw swollen up. “Fellas! Take him out with heavy punches! He must pay for that stupid stunt!” They menacingly barked in simmering rage. Michael swiftly jumped at the back of one of the approached assassins, while firmly biting his ear as ruggedly as he could. “Shit! My damn ear!” he gutted, with glimpses of tears swimming off his eyes. Michael’s bite was scornful until he somewhat tore a part of his ear as blood vigorously gushed out and splashed on his face and that of the victimized assassin. “Holy heaven's! Help me! Arghhh!” He cried out in a stream of tears Unexpectedly, while still at the assassin’s back, a well-precise strike descended on his chin. UPPERCULT!!! “Stay down you motherfucker!!! Fucking stay down!!!” Two of the alerted assassins shrieked as their eyes disdainfully shot at him. He fell without control and thud his bruised head against the hard floor. “Finish up the monster!” He cried out as he held onto his almost cut-out ear. “I will watch you die on this ground! I promise my ear would be the last you'd ever taste!” “Ear eater!” He viciously barked out, still in tears, as he breathed out an exasperated sigh. Michael spat on the floor and sharply breathed with his strength almost drained out. The two assassins cautiously watched their guard while they descended on him and struck ten more punches and blows on him with their faces menaced in fury. “Submerge him into the lake this minute! I would love to see him painfully gasp with his eyes wide open till he breathes his last!” Three exterminators held him and shoved his head against the Lake with one mission; ‘Absolute Perishing!’ They knew he was already weak and would most likely not have reserved strength to hold on for so long. Michael fought so hard to overpower their grips but they vehemently outnumbered him in might and vigor. He coughed, gulped, choked up, and gasped for survival but his airflow was tightened with his face viciously slammed against the fierce water. “Hold his head firmly until I'm certain he's gone!” Over three minutes, he struggled to stay alive while he did all he could to control his gasping failing breath, but slowly and gradually, his strength eventually disappointed him. His sensory organs started slipping off to inactivity as he inevitably went short of breath. Within five minutes of the persistent struggle to sustain his weakened breath, his body eventually went numb, which presumably signified one unimaginable outcome. The assassins wiggled their brows at their ear-bitten colleague who disdainfully watched every moment of the inhumane murder drama. An evil smug formed across their cheeks accompanied by a heavy snort of satisfaction. “Drop his miserable body at the edge! The motherfucker has finally succumbed to his demise!” He instantly picked up his cell phone from his left pocket and dialed the last caller. “Speak up. Is it done?” the caller promptly inquired with a clenched forehead. “Michael Scofield is dead…”“Sir!!!” A hasty thudding footsteps persistently approached in a gasping breath. “Please come with me!” “Sir!” the stormy voice reverberated in its thickness. A seemingly frightened young man in his early twenties, in a fast heartbeat, vigorously sprinted towards Livingbird Memorial Cemetery, which was barely three minutes away from Southgate Godfrey's Lake. “It's extremely urgent!” “Please come with me!” The same alerted voice echoed across the quiet moody ambiance. On reflection, an angry, concocted voice expressed with brows furrowed. “Who the hell are you?! Can't you see I'm having quiet moments with the deceased?” a light-skinned man in his late sixties barked out in a sharp exhalation. “I’m sorry, but if it wasn't life-threatening. I wouldn't have called for your help. You need to–” he was still in speech before being aggressively interrupted. “And what!? What in heaven's name happened?” his eyes still on the cemetery ground. The young man replied after letting out a dry
Within a twinkle of an eye, time swiftly raced with urgency as one hundred and sixty-eight hours traveled around the ticking clock.“He’s awake!” The light-skinned man voiced out in astonished delight.“Thank heaven! His pulse has normalized.” “Welcome back, Mr–” The herbal healer and his son stood in awe while in speech when Michael groggily cut them short.“Please, where am I? Who are you?” His words were charmed in puzzling questions as he rotated his weakened eyeballs across the herbal-decorated room.“Ahhh! My head! It hurts!” He screamed out in an attempt to raise his head out of curiosity.“Easy boy. You need to rest your head for a few more hours,” the light-skinned man helped dress his body in the wooden greenish chamber.On reflection, he sluggishly gave himself a full-measure stare and noticed his head and two arms were bandaged due to the intensive injuries he sustained from the car hit and manhandling beatings.“My name is Ethan, my grandfather is the herbal specialist wh
“Would you want to occupy the Royal Suite Bedroom or the Kingship Mortgage Bedroom?” Lord Eric delightfully inquired in a flash of hours.Michael Scofield stood in awe as his eyes profusely darted across the eye-catching spacious living room; absolutely a phenomenon.He irresistibly stood at a spot for almost two minutes with delightful, thick words hanging in his throat.“Any of the bedrooms would be perfect Sir,” he politely responded, still enthralled in bewilderment as he was yet to grasp who Lord Eric really was.In his past life endeavors, he had beheld beautiful edifices and castles but being a man with instilled maximum composure, he didn't ultimately get swayed by them.However, Lord Eric’s mansion preceded his prominent personality as the wealthiest man in the Northern Hemisphere and the top five most influential personnel in Europe, which Michael was still oblivious about.The mansion was nothing short of premium and high class which exemplified his distinctive taste for va
“Miss Sheraton Morgan, meet the young man who refused to bow to death. The one I told you I found lifeless at the edge of a lake after being viciously submerged a week ago.” “Michael, meet the Production manager of Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise. The City's Goddess of Beauty,” he did the honors in the introduction as he arose with his face enthralled in smiles.The two faces stood still for over ten seconds with their eyes glued on each other in slow motion with words stuck in their throats.“Great Lord! He's the one!” Miss Sharon echoed in a gasp of shock; thick goosebumps shivered her shoulders.Lord Eric hastily cleared his throat and blinked a few times in silence. He was yet to make sense of what she meant by him ‘being the one.’He was already struck in another unexpected puzzlement just like he hooked in confusion when the old herbal healer proclaimed Michael as ‘The one’“I’m completely in the dark, have you two met beforehand?” he eagerly inquired with his eyes flickered wit
“Boss; Miss Sheraton will be here for the scheduled meeting in ten minutes. She's called in already,” the secretary eloquently informed Barrister Frederick. “Good news! This would be the biggest deal of my legal career. I hope she doesn't change her mind.” It's been ninety-six hours since the last meeting about Michael's undercover plan, but strategically, it was payback o'clock and he must strike imperceptibly. Michael Scofield, amidst the undercover assignment, his mind has whirled on how to get back at his scornful foes, whom he vehemently believed sent five ruthless assassins to finish him up. ********** “My Heaven's! It's an honor to have you in my office. Age is impeccably suited for you. You look more gorgeous than the last time we met at the Gala Heritage Festival seven months ago. Always stunning like a new wine!” “The Goddess Beauty personified!” Barrister Frederick eulogized Miss Sheraton Morgan and reached out for a handshake with his teeth shining in elation.
They stared at him to let the cat out of the bag as time was of the essence. “... Marshall planned on proposing to Michelle on fortnight during the endorsement deal event…” he completely voiced out in a cracked tone. The fear of the unknown struck quivers down his buckled spine and all he could do was mumble pitiful prayers. “Interesting!” “Perfect timing!” “For your sake. Don't mention this beautiful meeting to your accomplices,” he chipped in, his words oozed dangerously. “In two weeks, we'll reconvene this conversation.” “However, on second thought?...” “What could have prompted y'all to call the shots for my extermination? You haven't told me why you guys contracted the assassins?” Barr. Fredrick nervously cleared his throat and darted his eyes in fear as he knew he hadn't yet revealed that one deep secret. “Get ready to spill the whole truth at the so-called proposal night…” *** Fortnight on the dot, Manchester City headlines exquisitely broadcasted the endo
“The rat race is finally over!” “On your knees! Your hands wrapped around your neck!” A menacing voice alarmed in a discordant baritone. “Spill your last prayers before we send you six feet underground.” “It's the end of the road!” Three vicious voices reverberated across the cold street with their faces etched with simmering rage. Their words ushered in moments of numbness, as a surge of tension ran through the victim’s vibrated veins. Without further ado, she silently obeyed and shut her eyes in mumbled prayers with her heart bleeding in alarming pain. Uncontrollable tears glued on her tender cheeks as her spines quivered in indescribable anguish. She didn't envisage her last moments would seem profoundly pitiful. The sky viciously rumbled, accompanied by a thick, darker cloud, which sent an explicit message of a soon heavy downpour about to hit the streets of Manchester City. “Please!” Her voice desperately gutted out. “Don't do this! I will triple whatever you wer
“Miss Sheraton, who was the young man that called us in?” one of the police officers inquired with his neck nudged for immediate feedback. She rolled her eyes in shunned perplexity. “I don't know who he is. I couldn't get hold of his name before he hastily exited.” She chimed in still entrapped in inward thoughts. “Whoever he is, I'm most grateful.” The cloud continually rumbled vigorously and it was only a matter of time for the City to feel the full aura of the grooming rain.
