Let me see it.” Declan said and dropped his phone on the table. an image popped up and his face brightened up. “Send that herb right away and make sure that it would be frozen in liquid nitrogen before it is sent over. Nothing should go wrong.” “Yes sir.” A beep after the response indicated that the call had ended and Declan shut his eyes leaning back on the couch. ~ At the other side of the city, Tom climbed into his car and drove out of a mall. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Hello, who is this?” “This is Tom. I have a job for you. And it is one that you can’t fuck up on.” Tom snarled. “Oh, well, speak up; I am listening.” The voice rang with glee. “There is a very auspicious man…” “Too auspicious even for you?” “
At the Ashers’ group building, Mandy walked out of her office and saw a figure standing a few feet away from her… someone that she wasn’t in the right state of mind to see. ‘James Livingston.’ “Mr. James.” Mandy said, walking towards the second son of Livingston pharmaceuticals. “A pleasant surprise seeing you here.” “Mandy Asher.” James said, turning to her. “I just sent word that I was here to see you and here you are trying to bolt out of your office. If I didn’t know better I would have said that you were avoiding me.” “Well, do you?” “Do I what? “Know better? I suggest you don’t give yourself a lot of credit being here. What do you want?” Mandy asked impatiently. “What do you think? I am here to investigate the death of my beloved brother. I am sure that you can tell me things I would very much find delightful to hear.” “Well, you will have to come another day; or better still, find someone else to bother. I was rushing out. There is an emergency, way more important than y
Martin raised his head as soon as he heard the statement, only to see Declan in his face. He tried to move but Declan was too quick to grab him by the neck first. Martin tried to scream but the hold tightened shutting him up. Declan pulled him away in front of the table where he expected the distress button to be and pushed the man further into the couch.“Who are you?” Martin asked, seething with rage. “And how the hell did you get in here?”“That won’t be relevant now.” Declan smirked and poured his glass of wine into Martin’s mouth. “Besides, I want to be the one asking the questions here.” Martin clawed at his throat as the contents slid down into his system.“I am sure you know exactly what was inside that wine, especially since you produce it.” Martin’s eyes widened.“C…Cansacora!”“Aren’t you a sharp one?” Declan smirked, taking a seat across Martin before bringing out a small vial. “I have the antidote here and if you want to live… which I am sure you do; you will have to t
Declan turned towards the window before grabbing Mandy and pulling them both under a table. A bullet flew into the room from the window shattering glasses into the room and piercing Declan in previous places. Declan waited for a minute before raising his head to look out of the window where the bullet had come from but there was no assailant in sight. “What was that?” Mandy asked, her heart beating frantically in her chest. “If I am not mistaken, I have An assassin after me.” Declan said, pulling out the bullet from the couch. “And a very good one at that. It seems that someone is after me this time” Mandy watched Declan dust the glasses that had landed on him. “Are you alright?” “Perfect.” “Now, what are you going to do?” Mandy asked, her forehead etched in worry. “What do you think I am going to do, Mandy?” Declan asked with a smirk. “Knowing you, definitely something stupid. Declan, an assassin, is after you. Can't you consider the fact that it is possible t
“Get down!” Jason growled same time the bullet shattered the glass beside their table. May looked at Declan terrified as he pinned her to the floor. Screams blasted from the restaurant as Declan stood up tracing the trajectory of the bullet to the source. He could see a masked man in black dismantling a sniper. “Stay here. I will be back.” Declan said, grabbing his keys and rushed out of the restaurant. He walked outside and looked towards the fence where the sighted the man and a figure ran out of the building with a large case in hand. Declan took off to his car and climbed, instantly driving towards the man who was already boarding a bike. The man raised his face and saw Declan coming after him. He started his bike and zoomed off with Declan after him in a hot pursuit. May ran out of the restaurant to seeing Declan driveoff. She pulled out her phone with shaky hands and dialed his number. “I said I will be back for you. Something came up.” Declan said with urgency in his
“No, but you would beg and wish that you were dead.” Declan walked towards the assassin and plunged the syringe into his neck emptying the contents into his body. “Good enough for me.” The assassin said without a hint of worry on his face. “I was ready to die the first day I took up this job . “I don’t think you have been getting what I was saying, this is not going to kill you, but you wish for death but it wouldn’t come.” Declan said and the assassin coughed up a bit of blood. “Something is wrong. That’s not how cyanide kills.” The assassin glared at Declan and doubled over releasing more amounts of blood than before. “What did you do to me?” “Nothing that will kill you. So are you ready to talk or do you need a second dose?” Declan asked with a wry smile, showing him the syringe which was filled. The assassin went pale in fear as he glared at Declan. “I can’t talk, that is part of the job description.” The assassin grunted “Funny that you are talking about assassin policie
Declan grabbed his phone as he drove off and dialed Mandy. He put the call in the speaker “Great, you are not dead yet.” Mandy said and Declan smiled. “Funny how one of the things I like about you happens to be your level of sarcasm.” “Why did you call? Did you get the him?” “Yes. I got him and questioned him to my satisfaction. Also, you might want to go through your men again. A guard was impersonating one of your men. Just killed him a few minutes ago before I called you.” “Omg Are you hurt?” “Do you actually think that a mere face off bodyguard would be able to hurt me” “Didn't know I insinuated that” “No problems, Mandy. I will be going to confront the culprit behind my recent disturbances. I will attack the Smiths mansion.” “No way Jordan smith is the mastermind behind everything” Mandy gaped in shock. “No. His right hand man, Tom is. From the kidnapping of May to the actions of Jason. I suppose he implored Jason to distract May or something but he pretty sure he is be
‘Declan King?’’ Tom’s face paled. How the hell did that man make his way into the factory without setting off a single alarm? Declan gave a side smile and started to make his way towards the stairs, his gaze still fixed on Tom. “Everyone, stop what you are doing. We have an intruder. Stop your work and stop that man.” Tom yelled, pointing at Declan. The men turned following Tom’s pointing finger and their gazes landed on Declan who was still walking towards the stairs without a care in the world towards the men looking at him. “What are you stalling for?

Stop him from Getting to the stairs!.” The men nodded and started down the stairs rushing towards Declan. Declan's smile changed into a frown as the first man reached him. He jabbed out and the man crumbled before being stomped by the advancers. D
