"Who did you say is your master again?" Dr Kidd asked Declan over his shoulders as he scrubbed his hand in a washing sink. They had bumped into each other in the restroom. "Why is that important now?" Declan replied, wiping his washed hands with a towel. "Let's say I'm intrigued. What you did there was massive." "But were you impressed though?" Declan threw out the question and it made doctor Kidd pause. Slowly, the young doctor pivoted to face Declan. "Glad you picked it out because I'm a terrible actor and was beginning to get sick of it." Declan gave a side grin. "We should all be glad we saved her." He shrugged and turned to leave but Dr. Kidd dragged him back, slamming him back to the wall. "You think that's the prize? Saving the life of a miserable girl who wanted it gone at the expense of my reputation?" The doctor gritted, pressing Declan against the wall with his elbow. Declan gazed down at the angry looking man in front of him and with one movement, he pu
Declan's gaze narrowed. He tried to move but a dart was punctured into the side of his neck and he passed out. A bucket of water splashed on Declan, jerking him awake. He blinked, looking around him frantically. "You're awake." A voice said emerging from a room.Declan squinted and his gaze fell on Dr Kidd and his features instantly darkened. "I should have killed you." Declan seethed, charging up but he was stuck. His eyes glanced over his body at the wire used to bind him to a seat. Beside him was a control table that was connected to the wires that bound him. "What are you doing? Declan's gaze snapped up at Dr. Kidd."What do you think? I am going to kill you and put an end to your shenanigans.""Then why didn't you just shoot me?" Dr. Kidd folded his arms to the back and began to pace walk around in front of Declan."Playing by your rules I guess. What's the fun of killing you with a gun when there are other ways to do so more painfully." Dr. Kidd sneered.Declan chuckled. "I
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
