Henry noticed immediately that it was a guarded room, and that there were no soldier there. Louis whistled in a very low tone, happy to finally be free.“I cant believe our luck,” he said. “There are no guards here.”“They we’re all probably sent to escort the man.” Henry said.Louis bolted the door behind him. It was a thin room that felt more than a corridor than a room. They went down the room until they saw a small opening on the wall. Henry peeped into the wall, it showed the room where Mr. Anderson and another man sat. Henry suddenly realized that the room where he and Louis were was a guarded room, a room only meant for specified guards to watch their boss and make sure he wasn’t being attacked. Only the guards weren’t there at the moment.Louis examined the place and found a door at the end side of the room. He opened it gently, then peeped inside. It was the way that led o a hidden alcove. He could see the trail and a ray of sunlight at the far end. He closed the door back an
Henry jerked back from the wall. The unexpected presence of the guard had snapped his attention to more important things, like escaping. It was only a matter of time before the bodies of the guards were discovered. He snapped his recorder shut and searched around. He had to find a bag, a small sized waterproof bag that he could seal the phone into, should in case they jump into the waters. One can never tell, and he liked to think ahead.Louis was restless on his feet, watching his boss rove about, but unwilling to make any sound before he received his infamous glare. The ruckus on the other side became loud and heated.“What do you mean, we’ve been breeched?!” Vincent Sinclair roared. “We can never be breeched!”“We believe they snuck in, Sir,” the guard replied as formally as possible.“They? Oh wait, they’re more than one?”“One of the guards found some bodies of our men in a different attire. We believe the enemies swapped their clothing to further blend in.”There was a crash, an
Henry and his breathed a deep sigh of relief when they reached the end of the alcove. Beyond them was the shore, blue seed and sparkling sand. Henry had never seen anything more inviting. His mind worked furiously as he and Louis walked on the hot sand; they needed to get to the rest of their team. Henry wondered where they were and what they were doing.He hoped it was something productive; he wasn’t about to get killed by the guards or forced to swim in those deep waves, which eventually would cause him to be eaten by a shark. Henry visibly shuddered.Louis beside him, a breather laboriously as they sprinted to the shore. He glanced back again to make sure they weren’t followed and seemed satisfied that he had successfully locked the door. Who knows? They may be able to get out of here alive after all.Suddenly, a group of guards emerged in front of them. Lou had no idea where they’d come from, but he was sure it was out of the dense foliage rather than thin air. He hated surprises
Henry hissed in pain and discomfort as Louis tended to his wound by pouring half a bottle of alcohol over it and bandaging it. At that moment, he was regretting not shooting off the head of the shooter who shot him. Henry won’t obsess over it; all was fair in love and war. Besides, he’d already killed a good number of them. He wrapped his arm around himself, looked out the window of the plane, and tried to get his bearings. Henry made a mental note to use a helicopter the next time. Jumping down and up a plane with a rope wasn’t very ideal.“You’re good, boss.” Louis patted Henry’s arm and stood up.Henry watched him walk to the pilot’s cabin; he was sure Louis was checking the course they were taking and probably redirecting them if need be. It was unnecessary; the pilot was a good one.Louis came back and spoke to the rest of the men. They had been reduced to a minimal amount of three, and Louis wanted to know what happened to the remaining five. One of the men spoke in favor of oth
“We’re here sir,” the driver said.Henry slowly turned his head to the window and saw that he had gotten to the bus stop. He paid the driver and came down from the taxi, taking a moment to relish in the fresh air of a less busy street. He had wanted to trek home, but the wound in his lower abdomen would stretch and linger if he exerted his energy for too long, so he had opted for taking a ride that’d stop a mile away from his house.Henry walked slowly, merely out of perseverance than duty. He wanted to savor the moment, to enjoy nature. There were plenty of things to enjoy. The bark of a tree, the misty smell of grass and the flowers that seemed to spring back under his foot. Henry smiled; he knew he would be a romantic man.His surroundings started to phase out around him, like a slowly distorted shape, and he knew that he was being assigned a task. Henry stood still, waiting for his vision to change with the environment, to adjust to it. It used to freak him out before, how he’s o
Henry wrapped a fresh bandage on his wound, tightening in place to make sure that it won’t loosen. He gently probed at the area to ascertain that the pain was minimal and would fade soon. He glanced at the tablets of pain relief on his sink, then looked back at the mirror to examine himself.When the female fighter had hit him on his wound, Henry feared he may have cracked a few ribs. He had rushed home and unwrapped the bandage so he could properly disinfect and redress the wound. He’d decided that a hospital may be nice, but they would ask too many unnecessary questions.“And then there’s the matter of papers,” Henry said to himself. “They would immediately call the police so I could file a report. We can’t have that now, can we?”He left the kitchen and strolled lazily to his bedroom. Henry slowly removed the rest of his clothing. He laid on his bed and turned his face into the pillow. His sore muscles relaxed at the cool bed and he suddenly seemed sealed or strength. His body ache
Henry’s loneliness gnawed deep at him by the time he got to the foot of the mountain. He wanted someone desperate to speak with, so he started to speak with himself. He caught himself doing it a couple of times, and it amused him. Henry knew that it would take only take a matter of time before he got used to it completely. He climbed up the mountain with labored breath and wondered if he should get a dog. As soon as the thought came, he banished it. The poor thing would die of lack of affection. Henry wouldn’t have that.The path of the mountain was slippery, so Henry had to several times grab onto tree branches or tree bark to keep steady. He easily ran out of breath, and the cold air tested his patience.“It’s just for your daily task,” he told himself. “Remain calm, get there and get the tasks done.”“Easier said than done,” Henry said, mimicking an inner voice as he contradicted himself. “It’s like the whole fucking mountain is against me.”“I mean, that’s inky natural,” he replie
In his state, Henry knew he’d been granted the sacred gift of time—being in that time and space and being completely attuned with your environment. He heard the long call of a bird, the gust of wind that swept through his hair and whispered secrets that were yet to be uncovered. He felt seen, yet not seen, but in that in between space of the beyond. It was more than just mediation, it felt like a spiritual journey. He was in the delve of his own consciousness, guided by three distinct paths of mediation, one he would take each day.There was a metal box before him. In his mind, Henry would reach out and touch it, caress it like a lover. He would call it names that would pass over it, because it was just a metal. The first task appeared in his mind’s eye. It was a path to self-cultivation. It was interesting, the thing the mind can do. The way it would nurture with unwavering determination, such that you would see the object of your desire within reach.That moment, the object of
Evelyn noticed her sister isn't at home yet. She tried calling her number but it's isn't going.She tried the same for Henry's numbers but it wasn't going also. She decided to call Louis and it was the same thing."Fuck shott."She cursed"Why are they not picking where could they be?" She asked herself pacing around the room. She couldn't think straight. She didn't know what to do.She called their number, but it wasn't going.Evelyn slept that night and told herself she was going to go to their house first thing in the morning.*The Next Day.*Evelyn woke up feeling sad, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but she was just sad. She felt something was going wrong somewhere.She stood up and left the house without even bathing. She first went to the company hoping to find her sister there, but she did not.She heard the shareholders will be holding a meeting there, she couldn't find her sister. She then decided to go to Dexter's office. She couldn't find him also.She couldn't eve
"Sean are you ready to take your revenge?" Erica questioned him."Yes, I am so ready to take my revenge, where is the gun? Knife anything? I am fucking prepared every fuckin time." Sean replied Erica.Erica went to meet Sean and ask him if he is ready to take his revenge. Sean wanted to kill him by every means."I need Mike, the only person who can lure Henry is Mike." Sean told her."Consider it done." She assured him.Dexter was prepared for the operation, he wanted to take them down as fast as he can. He got a call from Erica that he should kidnap Sean first."Come and meet me at the warehouse immediately you are done." He said to her.Dexter was already with his guys in a dark and secluded warehouse, a group of people huddled around a table, planning their next move.This was not a typical meeting, but one with a sinister purpose. They were planning a kidnapping, and every detail had to be just right.Dexter showed them the target picture so they will not end up going for the wron
*Later That Day.*Erica was at Dexter's company, she went there immediately she was done with stuffs at her company. She also went there since he refused to answer her calls."We need to act fast, we don't know what the guy is planning. I loosed the video, and there isn't anything we can use against him anymore." Erica told Dexter he thoughts drinking the juice that was placed on the table."We will kill him if he has any other intentions, we are not going to let him bring us down." Dexter said to her."Since you said that guy is available, I guess he is will be the one to take the revenge. That way we will be free for the rest of our lives." Dexter said to Erica."Do you not feel we should kidnap him, that easy it would more easy for him to get killed." She said to him."Yes, I agree with you." Dexter told her."Don't you have some met out there that could help us with it. We can't do it on our own." She told him."That's true, I will find some useful guys that can assist us in kidna
*The Next Day.*Henry woke up the next morning feeling so refreshed, he slept peacefully like a baby in the night. He couldn't get to see Evelyn the other day because he was tired already.He decided he was going to see her today. He put on his dress. Seeing his ex is just terrible for him. He remembered how broke he was when he caught her.He remembered how he loosed all hope after she confessed everything to him. After she told him he doesn't love her."Why do I have to dress up?" He asked himself when he noticed how nicely he was dressing."Whatever." He muttered under his breath. Henry already told Evelyn about the meeting. He walked out of the bedroom, and saw Louis waiting for him."Don't tell me you are this well dresses because of her." Louis winked at him."Me? This is just a casual well, and I am well dressed because I want to dress nicely." He said to Louis"Woah, are you going to meet up with a girl? Is he going on a blind date?" Mike was surprised by his outfit immediatel
Henry ended the call immediately after listening to what the nurse told him."What happened?" Louis inquired ok seeing how devastated he was."Someone released Sean from the hospital claiming they are related, how does that makes sense?" Henry was beginning to get so angry."It was Erica." Louis told Henry."You knew it was her and you couldn't stop her? How did you find out that it was her?" Henry queried him"I planted a tracker in her car, I saw that she went to a place and that is not the office, neither Dexter's company. She must have been the one." Louis explained to him."I knew she is up to something, we must find a way to find out what she is up to. She might want to use him or something." Mike added."She didn't know I am out the prison yet right?" Henry wanted to confirm his thoughts."Yes, she didn't know you are out of the prison yet, we need to wait for a while. That was she will be unguarded." Louis answered.They got to their house in no time and did the necessary thin
Erica laid on the bed, she realized how tired she was. She didn't know when she slept off.Evelyn tiptoed into her room, her sister was sleeping so deep that she didn't even notice when someone entered the room.Evelyn searched for the other phone her sister barely use. She finally found it in her wardrobe. She tried unlocking it but she couldn't.She then went to where he sister was using, and decided to use her finger print to open it. It opened once.The first thing she did was to set a screen timeout. She left the bedroom, and went ahead to meet Louis where he was waiting for her.She walked up to where he parked his car and entered it."How was it? Did you not get it? I thought you said you were going to text me." Louis asked her."I got the phone." She answered and have him the phone she got from her sister.Louis first went to her iMessage, hoping he could find something there but he couldn't. He then whet to her storage.Luckily for him, he saw the videos there. He didn't know
Erica was happy with the scene that was going on. She was happy seeing how speechless Henry became."Wait, why me? I am not interested. Why should I become the ceo, laugh out loud." Erica acted surprised.She knew what she was doing, she didn't want to look. Suspicious to Louis."We have noticed that you are good for this job, and we would love to pick you." They informed her."Woah, looks as if I got no choice." She stoped up."If you know you would not want her to he the CEO, please can you raise your hands up." Someone announced but none of the shareholders could raise up their hands."Today, we declare ma'am Erica as the CEO of this company." The person who was in charge of the voting said."You are fired from this company, together with Mike. We find out you two might be a threat to the new CEO as you are not happy with her becoming the CEO." The shareholder passed across the information."What does Mike have to do with this? You can fire me instead and leave the poor guy alone."
"What do you want to see me for?" Erica asked Louis immediately she got to his office."I wanted to ask you few questions, is it possible for you to go to the house we just came back from. Can you get the security footage of everything that happened during our stay there?I think there is a spy there that got it release everything we did, and sent to our rival company." Louis asked Erica for a favor.He knew what he was doing. Even though he will have to loose an evidence that is as strong as that. His main aim was to confirm if Erica was the spy, and if she has someone she is working for."Sure, I will do that." Erica assured him with a smirk on her face."You are telling your greatest enemy to do the job for you." She said to herself."Consider it done." She assured him"Thank you very much." Louis appreciated."What about Henry? I haven't seen him! Hope he is okay?" She asked him."Sure, he will not be showing his face for the meantime. He will surely get back to you once he is bac
"The police are here for what?" Henry asked with his eyes wide opened."They insisted on staying at the entrance, and they are on their way here." The girl told him and she will not stop panicking.The police entered his office without knocking, with his secretary at their back."Mr. Henry you are under arrest. We will refrain you from talking, any word can be used against you in the court of law. You are allowed to also have an attorney." One of the police said to him."Find me a lawyer." Henry said to louis and followed the police men without asking them any questions.Henry followed them willingly without asking them any questions.Louis was still shocked with what happened. He knew what happened, he knew the reason he was arrested.Louis never imagined if there is a way they can get him saved. He decided to call Henry's best lawyer.He didn't want to go and Henry immediately to avoid any suspicions. A lot of people haven't figured out that he got arrested yet."I need you here imm
