Jordan flinched at Declan's voice and immediately went down on his knees, crawled towards Dr Kidd and pulled him up. Hanging the doctor's arm firmly over his shoulder, Jordan jerked him up, keeping him on a seat at the corner. "Stay put man." He tapped Dr. Kidd on the chest. The Dr. Was almost unconscious and just gazed into space. "What now?" Jordan asked Declan with a straight shoulder. "You will know when the time is right." Declan smiled lightly and walked up to Dr. Kidd. From where Jordan was standing, he could see that Declan checked out Kidd's broken mouth then turned and strode off. Immediately, before Jordan knew it, Dr. Kidd sprang up and rushed at him with a yelp, stabbing him with a syringe at the side of his neck. Jordan's eyes flashed in pain. Holding his neck, he gagged and staggered. His eyes wide in shock at the betrayal. He finally crashed to the floor in a thud. The next time Jordan opened his eyes, he squinted them at the bright light shown directly in his
Declan fetched a glass of water and splashed it on Jordan, jerking him away.Jordan looked around him erratically. He saw Declan and felt queasy all over again from the pain. "Why are you doing this?" Jordan asked with a weak voice. "Tell me what I want to know." Declan ordered."Ok. Fine" Jordan began to nod. "I will tell you everything but promise you will spare my life. At least." Declan pushed the button instantly, taking Jordan unawares. A loud cry ripped from Jordan's throat.He suddenly felt light headed, pain taking all over his body. He wished to be dead at that moment."Please—please— I will tell you!"He whispered the last word before Declan stopped the tool. "Please—" Jordan said, panting. He was soaked in his own sweat with his eyes half closed. "Seems you're ready now." Declan said with a smile, standing. He brought a chair and sat before Jordan. "Tell me what James gave them that night." Declan demanded.Jordan slowly lifted his head and looked at Declan. "It's ca
"Boom!"Declan released a shot and a bullet flew in the air and pierced Dr. Kidd's arm. Dr. Kidd let out a loud cry, trembling at the spot. Without sparing him a glance, Declan walked out of the warehouse.The men from earlier, came right in and unbounded Dr. Kidd, taking him out and dumping him at the gates of his house."Honey! What happened to you?" Dr. Kidd's wife, Rita cried when she found her husband. She had been worried. It was past midnight and she hadn't heard a word from him."Get me inside now." Dr. Kidd groaned. "You need to see a doctor. You're losing so much blood." Rita cried."I'm fine.""But you're —""I said I'm fine! Get me the first aid kit right now." Dr. Kidd growled, startling his wife. She nodded, stood and scampered away. Kidd looked down at his arm and felt relieved. At least he was alive. That was all that mattered. It was quite unbelievable that Declan kept to his words. His arm may be hurting now but he must take charge. His promotion party was the nex
"The prestigious doctor, Dr. Kidd Armstrong was found dead at his apartment, shortly after his promotion party. The authorities in charge retrieved unfamiliar substances at the place of his death and a note. His death is suspected to be suicide but Investigations however still are ongoing."The voice of the newscaster blasted in the speakers at the Williams' residence. "Wow." May sighed, sipping from her coffee cup."It's rather strange , don't you think?" Clara commented. "He had everything, why did he end his own life?""People have hidden battles, mom. That's all I can say." May stood up, ready to go."I invited Mandy to dinner. Come back early, will you?" "Sure, mom." May said and went upstairs. Up in her room, she brought out her phone and called Declan."Hey, did you see the news?" "What's up,?"The doctor killed himself. How is that even possible? He didn't seem to have any worries in his life." May shook her head in genuine disbelief as she spoke. "Seems there's more to
"Mom?!"May yelled from inside."What are you doing here?" Clara hissed, folding her arms across her chest. "I—invited him." May said, emerging from behind. "Please come in, Declan." May nudged her mom slightly by the side to make her move. With a deep scowl on her face, Clara sulkily moved out of the way and Declan made an entrance."Do you like it?" Clara asked Mandy cheerfully. Mandy had arrived shortly after Declan and all of them were seated at a table, eating."It's so delicious, Mrs Williams." Mandy said with a bright smile. "Ahn! Glad you love it. I made everything myself." Clara giggled, removing her hairs from her face. "I know, one wouldn't know I've got that skill too.""I do know you have many more qualities, Mrs Williams." Mandy smiled at her.They finished dinner and settled for dessert. "Now everything is settled, I would love us to push through with the project." Mandy turned to May on the table."That would be nice. I'm sorry things have been rough lately and I
"Did I interrupt something?" May asked walking up to Declan and Mandy. She looked at them quizzically. "Not at all. We were just about to leave." Mandy said, pushing away from Declan. She had a superior look on her face adjusting her dress as she stood up. "Tell your mom I gave my thanks for the dinner. Have a lovely night." Mandy said with ease.She did not show any sign of awkwardness as usual to Declan's surprise. Is she perhaps trying to make their affair public now? "Thank you again for coming." May replied with a forced smile. Mandy turned to leave, but tripped on her heels. "Watch out." Declan stepped in closer to her side, catching her fall."Too much wine." Mandy smiled apologetically, limping for balance. "Let me help you." Declan offered, holding her hand in his and leading her out of the Williams residence.May watched Mandy and Declan walk away, with their hands locked together and something twisted in her chest. Are they officially together now? She asked herself
Peter, who had been watching the fight all this while from his car parked some feets away, was bewildered. He had never seen the kind of skill Declan possessed in his entire life. Was Declan even human? He wondered. Declan's gaze instantly snapped up and landed on Peter where he was parked at the side of the road. Immediately Peter saw that Declan had seen him, he froze, suddenly drenching in cold sweat. Declan started towards him in frantic steps and Peter's heart skipped a beat. His hands started the car frantically and he zoomed off. "Boss! Boss!" Peter rushed into Mr Benches office falling on his feet. Mr Bench who was startled sprang up instantly looking past Peter. He didn't see anyone with him and it added to his confusion. "What is the matter? Why are you here all alone?""Boss, he is coming. He will kill us all if he gets to us." Peter cried in panic. "What do you mean kill us?" Bench asked furiously. "I asked you to bring the head of a man to me. What are you saying
May drove at a high speed on the empty road of the city. She had a target, to get to Declan before he started the fire. His location said he was at Jordan Smith's house. "Isn't he the business mogul that died a few days back?" May thought aloud. She wondered what Declan could possibly be looking for in his house. She turned to the other lane that led to the Smith's estate, her blood pumping from adrenalin rush as she drew closer. "There he is!" May exclaimed when she saw Declan at the entrance of the house. She quickly parked her car and jumped down. Declan heard footsteps behind him and he spun around sharply, his pistol in his hand. "It's me!" May Jerked, throwing her hands up. "May?" Declan narrowed his gaze in surprise. "What are you doing here?'"I should be asking you Declan. What are you doing here"May asked, folding her arms across her chest. She glared at Declan accusingly. Declan walked a few distance past May, glancing around."You're alone, perfect. Now climb back
