Declan and Mandy got to the apartment shortly later. The men had finished having breakfast and were relaxing on the porch."Hey guys." Mandy said, walking up to them.The men turned to her with a small smile on their faces."We didn't expect you to come back this soon.""We want to start your treatment as soon as possible. We don't have much time left." Mandy replied. She turned to her side."Declan is here with me." Mandy said, gesturing to her side. "Hi man.""Hi." The men greeted with low energy. "Declan King. I didn't get to properly introduce myself last time." Declan said, offering his hand for a shake.The two men eyed his hand for a second then the first man took it, followed by the second one. "I'm Tee.""Cova." The men said their names simultaneously."Nice to meet you, Tee and Cova." Declan said. "Let's proceed to get started if you don't mind."The men looked at Mandy for some kind of backing and she nodded in agreement, then they finally stood and followed Declan in
John immediately fell to the ground in a loud wail. He cried gravely, spreading on the floor like a kid.Governor Clark looked at him for a moment not knowing what to do. But John continued to cry and he finally spoke."It's alright. Help him up." Governor Clark said to the guards and they dragged John up on his feet."It's alright. Stop crying." Governor Clark said, pushing out from his seat. John glared at his father with his swollen eyes. "I won't stop! You yelled at me!" John shouted. "I'm sorry I won't do that again." The Governor pleaded. He looked at his guards in embarrassment and hated that they witnessed what had just happened. He could see the shock on their faces. "What are you guys still doing here? Get lost at once!" Governor Clark yelled at the guards and they went away. He walked up to John and drew him closer into his arms cradling him to stop crying.The governor's mind trailed off, a worried look on his face. John's condition had gotten worse and it really
Governor Clark slammed the phone on the table after he ended the call. He looked up at his son with a rugged look. "I will teach that scumbag not to mess with you ever again!" The Governor said with great depth. A smile crept on John's face in gratitude. He loved the fact that his father doesn't joke with him and does nearly everything he asked for. "Thank you father. But I think I have a new plan.""Just mention the words my son ""I would love you to give me the honor to deal with him all by myself. I think all I needed was your blessing and now that I have it, I shall be merciless in dealing with him." John said wickedly."Deal with him? Didn't you say he hit you?""That was because I didn't go over there prepared for a fight. But now that I'm aware of who he is and his arrogance I'm fully ready for him." John said with fierce determination.Governor Clark was unsettled with the idea of his son dealing with the so-called Declan King all by himself. He didn't know Declan but an
Declan carried out the rest of the treatment in silent. He mixed the herb with some others ingredients in a grinding bowl. When they turned to a green pury, he took them in a syringe and injected the men one after another. "This is all for today. I will be back in two days time." Declan said then bowed and left. Declan made another stop at the club house. He climbed down from his car same time Mike came out of the building. "Hey man. Good to see you!" Mike said cheerfully extending his hand to Declan for a handshake.But Declan walked pass him with a mean look that was surprising to Mike."Whoa!" Mike exclaimed, turning to watch Declan walk into the house. Looking around briskly to make sure no one else witnessed his embarrassment. Mike cleared his throat and adjusted his jacket before he walked in." That was unnecessary bro. What if one of my shawties saw that?" Mike said seemly offended."What I came for is very important and I don't want to spend longer than 5 minutes here."
It was 7:30pm and Declan King was ready to set out for the operation. He wore a black pants and black leather jackets. He stood before a mirror to readjust his face cap. Looking at his reflection, he looked like nothing short of a hit man.His phone began to ring on bedstand and the caller was Mandy."Not now Mandy." He said and declined the call. He restricted Mandy from reaching for that period of time. He had a busy night ahead of him and the last thing he needed was distraction of any kind.He however called Mike instead. "Ready?" Declan asked with a stern voice."I'm already driving to the venue, see you in 30." Mike said, his voice not missing a glint of excitement that is always in it.Looking at his reflection one last time in the mirror, Declan took his keys and left.Half way into the journey, Declan noticed two vans trailing him. "Who are those now" He wondered in his head. One of the vans sped up and zoomed past him, stopping abruptly almost bumping into Declan's car.
Declan walked up to one of the thugs. The thug was still alive but in great pain, grabbing onto his head and belly.Declan used his leg to adjust the man and faced him up.“Who sent you here”“I uhm…. Ahh… plea—” The man started saying gibberish.“Answer me!” Declan growled and the man flinched. “I don’t know… our boss just gathered us and we— ahh!” The man howled, flinching at the pain that struck through his body. Declan’s leg was on his abdomen and he pressed him to the floor.“Do you have a death wish? huh? You have your last chance!” The man began to cough due to the pressure on his abdomen.“Alright sir, please don’t kill me—just check my— back pocket” The man stuttered and Declan narrowed his eyes.Declan did not check the man’s pocket; rather, he checked that of the dead thug laying at the head side of the man.Inside the dead man’s pocket was a crest with the Inscription “JK”. Without showing any expression, Declan put the crest in his back pocket. He lifted his leg fro
“There it is!” Mike yelled, his eyes glittering. He had opened the safe just now. Declan took out a big white envelope and started searching the contents. His eyes lit up when he saw what it contained and he quickly put it away in the bag pack he was carrying. Mike on the order hand was captivated by the stacked of dollar bundles in the safe. He looked at it with hungry eyes, swallowing the saliva in his mouth. It was as though he had seen a palatable burger. “What are you stalling for? That’s your pay right there” Declan said sparing him a glance. “Exactly what I needed to hear.” Mike said and jumped right into the safe, packing the money into his bag. “Wait..” Declan said, raising his hand. They went silent and they could hear footsteps outside. “What’s that?” Mike asked in panic, zipping his back packed and stripping it at his back. “Wait here” Declan moved to the window that faced the south where the car park was. “Shit!” He cursed, walking back to Mike. “Gen
Declan strode into his room and unzipped his jacket. It had been a long hectic night and he wished to drown himself in warm water. He brought out his phone from his back pocket and placed it on the bedside and walked into the shower.He came out 20 minutes later wrapped in a bathrobe and drying his wet air. His eyes glanced at his phone at the bedside."Shit!" He picked the phone and swiped it up. 50 freaking missed calls."Who the hell?—" He started to complain about the caller but paused when he saw who it was. Mandy. He was instantly washed with guilt for keeping her in the dark. She had left him a message also and when he read it, his eyes bulged from their sockets. He quickly changed into anything he laid hands on first, grabbed his keys and dashed out."How is he?" Declan asked the butler, rushing into the Asher's residence. He was stunned at the amount of staff he saw standing in the living room. He didn't spare them a second and rushed straight to Grandpa Asher's room."Noo
