Henry tapped on Louis side of the window. Louis jerked from his sleep and immediately unwinds the window.“What?” he asked groggily.“Let me drive,” Henry said flatly.Louis opened the door and moved over to the passenger seat. Henry slid into the driver’s seat and started the car, occasionally glancing at Louis.“I was gone for less than fifteen minutes, Louis. How did you fall asleep so fast?”Louis wiped his fast as if wiping the sleep away. He yawned, and then reached for the bottle water that eh positioned in between the two seats.“I thought you were going to spend an hour there,” he yawned again. “So I wanted to catch a nap.”“You can do that at home, not when you’re working.”“My house has become unbearable for me,” Louis confided. “May and I are constantly at loggerheads.”May was Louis wife. A petite, brown haired woman that had brown eyes. One of the good kinds too, maybe even too good for Louis. Henry had never imagined himself creating a family life like Louis, even when
Louis kept glancing back at the dog while he drove. He was not comfortable that Henry had kept the dog at the back seat, not caged and not leashed. Louis’s hand was on the door handle, and Henry had the impression that he was going to jump out without thinking if the dog made one move. Henry laughed. He couldn’t remember that last time he laughed—was it the realms? But it sure felt good. Better than good, actually. It elevated his mood. He liked that Louis was scared of the dog. Louis, who was the most cheerful and nonchalant fighter he had ever seen, afraid of a dog.“You’re laughing at my misfortune, aren’t you?” He glared at Henry.“Relax,” Henry replied. “Homer’s not going to bite you, not unless I say so.”“You don’t even know it enough and you’ve bonded with the damn thing.”Henry smiled as he reached for the dog to rub its head. The dog looked at him, sharing an intimate look at Henry. He had kind eyes, Henry noticed. The kind of eyes that probably got misjudged for most of hi
“So where is she?” Henry asked.He and Louis had retreated back to Henry’s hidden cave. He didn’t use the cave often, but now that he had gotten Homer, he needed to be careful of who he invited home. Homer was potentially dangerous, and didn’t take too kindly to visitors. Besides, they wanted to meet the tracker, and Henry didn’t think his house was the best option to meeting the man.“She’s at Costa Rica,” the tracker said.Henry nodded absently. The tracker was a man that spoke with eyes rather than words. Henry could tell that the tracker was scared of him, and Louis was the only one making him comfortable as it was. He didn’t exactly blame the man; even he would prefer to speak to a chatty man rather than a gloomy, dangerous man. A chatty dangerous man like Louis was easy to maneuver around, and even though Henry did not like that Louis was so easy to access to, he had to let it go because it was Louis' charms that had brought them this far.Louis yawned tiredly and stretched. “We
They lodged in a hotel that was close to a location that the tracker had given them. Henry didn’t want to rush this mission, should, in case something goes wrong. He wanted to take his sweet time in analyzing his attacks and counterattacks, in checking all holes and loopholes. He didn’t know how long they were going to stay there, but Henry had booked a suite for him and Louis to share, so they could both times each other. They didn’t bring any luggage with them, and Henry preferred it that way. He could get guns and clothes anywhere, rather than shipping them and taking a risk with the country custom officers.Henry allowed Louis to communicate with his wife all the way through; the poor woman didn’t exactly know the nature of his job, but she knew he was getting heavily paid for it and was constantly at risk. It was only natural to call up Louis every few hours to check up on him since she would be having his baby. Or not. Whatever it was, Henry’s envy spread and spread until he sta
Louis rapped three short raps on the door, and they waited. The X on the door small, almost unnoticeable. Henry again silently appreciated Louis’s good wit, humor and eye for effectiveness, despite the fact that very exciting things were occurring in his life.“You sure this is the place?” Henry asked when no one answered. “Maybe the X is supposed to be bigger and bolder than this?”“No, this is it. This would be the only door marked X in this lane.”Just as Louis finished talking, a voice sounded from behind the door. It was piercingly feminine and high pitched, so high pitched that Henry drew back from the door.“Whatchu what?” The voice asked. “Services for Meme,” Louis answered.“Services for Meme?” The voice asked again. “What type of services do you want?”“Services of the crotch.”Henry mentally cringed. The code names they used were just so horrible; even he could do better than that.The door latched open, and a female stuck her head outside. She had short dark hair and the
Louis watched Henry from the corner of his eyes. Henry walked briskly away from the corridor and Louis followed him. He couldn’t fathom how Henry was upset with the lady’s action from earlier. If he wasn’t married, he certainly wouldn’t have minded her advances. She had seemed intrigued by Henry’s looks and demeanor, probably amazed that he hadn’t even minded her for one minute. Louis moved closer to Henry and nudged his shoulders.“Were you embarrassed by her?”Henry glanced at him shortly, “Have you checked the tracker? Where could she possibly be?”“Let me check it right away.”Louis looked through the tracing device and studied it carefully. Having studied it, he moved ahead of Henry and turned a corner. Henry shook his head and followed him. They walked silently for a while, shuffling through people and their wares. Finally, Louis stopped in front of a two faced building. He checked his tab again and nodded to Henry.“Yup, she’s in there.”Henry studied the building and wrapped t
Henry and Louis wore their protective vests as they drove down to where the tracker led them. Louis was driving, as he was good with the roads, naturally. Henry said beside him and checked his loaded guns, then kept bullets at his side for easy access. His actions reminded him of the weaponry girl; the way she was strapped with guns all over. As if Louis knew that he was thinking about her, he brought her up.“I asked you about that girl and you ignored me,”he said.“What girl?” Henry asked, feigning ignorance.“Oh, you know! The one we got the guns from.”“Ah, I see. That girl.”“Yes, that girl. What do you think of her?”Henry sighed. “We’re going to an unexpected battle, to fight unpredicted war and probably abduct my stepmother, and all you can ask me is about some girl?”“Oh you know, anything to quench boredom,” Louis said as he laughed.His eyes crinkled at the corner when he laughed, his mouth made a wide line and his nose squeezed. Henry knew he would never let go of the topi
Henry had Louis wrap his stepmother’s body in a case. He couldn’t possibly take a dead body back to America, but at least he could give her a proper burial. He had been so in on his head that he hadn’t considered her misfortune. She did not have my luck in life, and the little she had, she had misused it and abused whomever she viewed herself above. Still, everyone deserved a burial. He hasn’t done well with her son, Jerry. Henry admitted that he had been in over his head, guided but by fury and the feeling of betrayal, he has t thought better of burying him then. All he wanted to do was teach her a lesson would never forget. Apparently, it would be him who would never forget; he who murdered the last remaining shreds of family he had left. He would live with this for the rest of his life, lonely and upset that he didn’t do anything worthwhile while alive. Louis threw the body over a rushing river. Henry sat in the car and watched it float away. He wished she would find the pe
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
