Thomas sat up, and decided to be real with Gavin. He dropped the cigar he was smoking on the table and began to tap it with his fingers."I hope you do know that you have been asking quite a lot of favours recently? And it's been less than a week. I have granted an investment deal to your wife, on your behalf. With the help from the bank you were able to rent a Bentley for one thousand dollars per hour. You were also able to get a Rolls Royce and a chauffeur to go with it with the help from the bank.""And so, what are you trying to imply?" Gavin raised his eyebrow."I am just saying that for something that is supposed to be on the low, as the secret you keep for your grandfather, you have been a little bit flamboyant about it. It's raising a lot of dust in the air, and people who can see it are asking a lot of questions. It's drawing a lot of attention from quarters of people who we should ordinarily not want to be asking questions.""So, is that not the reason I have instructions to
"Very well." Thomas sighed. He conceded to Gavin, as he did not want to be the person that would go against the Roman's family wishes."I need you to make the call now," Gavin said to him, as though he could not trust Thomas on whether or not he would do what he had just instructed.Thomas reached out one hand and grabbed the telephone. On his other hand, he grabbed a book. Opening the book was a list of numbers, the phone numbers to be precise. Gavin was not surprised, born shocked on this. As the kind of man that he was, it was Thomas' duty to keep a list of very important people in case he needed anything. It could be said that most of these people did not know Thomas had their numbers in wait, just Incase, but they never appeared to be too surprised. He was really a man of the underworld, complete with everything it took.He found the Chief Of Police's number and dialled on it. The man did both pick up the call at first. But with a second round of beeping, he picked up the call.
"What, Gavin? Why would you have me do that?" Thomas asked, shocked at Gavin's prescription on how to deal with the man."You do not have to judge me like that, Thomas" Gavin replied, falling back into his chair and having his arms sprawl out over it. " Can't you hear what he is saying? He does not believe that you are Thomas Winnicks. How do you think you are going to be able to prove it to him? By calling him on the one once again? No. You have to show him that you have the power to ruin his life. From there he would know that the person who just called him, is Thomas Winnicks, and he means business."This was what Gavin was willing to do, the length he was willing to go through, just to see his wife out of jail. Thomas looked at his eyes and saw that he was really serious about getting Meghan freed."Well, fine,then" Thomas said. "If it's power he wants to see, then power he must get. You should understand this, don't you? But I certainly will not be ruining his life for anything.
The Stallions were in the cell. It had been two days since they were put in. They had not seen James and Harry for a long time and quite frankly had gotten really hopeless and frustrated about the situation. "I knew it!" Cried out Mr. Stallion in agony. "I knew it!" James and Harry were frauds. They have abandoned us here for dead. This is why we never should have trusted them. I was right all along.""Dad it's still too early to judge," said Megan, walking up to him.""For god's sake it's been more than two days, Meghan" Mr. Stallion pointed out. "It's still too early to judge," Meghan said back to him."Meghan you should give it a rest" Sophie cut in. "Look, I love Harry, and I respect his friend James, but if I have to go through another one day, and eat another one of this prison leftover meals, I swear to God that I would lose it.""I agree with Sophie," Mrs. Stallion said. "The food is largely just rubbish here."Right in the middle of their bickering among one another, one of
At the counter of the police station, the police kept their phones for each member of the family to come pick up as they were free to do.Meghan could not bear with the excitement anymore, she immediately reached out and grabbed for herself her phone and dialled James number."Uh-uh, I hope you are not doing what I think you are doing" Mr. Stallion was clearly not supportive of Meghan trying to call James that early."But dad, we need to do some appreciation," Meghan protested. "You said it yourself, dad. Whoever had a hand in us getting released from prison you will appreciate. Well I am just doing it first because I know exactly who helped us. You don't have to worry about anything. I always knew James would deliver on his words." She dialled his number.James was lying on his sick bed, looking as lifeless as he had been when he was first treated, when he heard his phone begin to buzz just right over head. Painfully he reached out to get hold of it. He saw that the number calling w
Gavin was seated just across the table on a chair. His face was stretched in a smile at the face of his surprised and shocked wife. "Welcome back home, my love. I have been waiting for you." Meghan was speechless. The more she stared at what was before her, the more questions she had to ask. Under the shocked expression was a buried anger she had kept just for Gavin. Everything, even the food in front of her, was not enough to quell what she felt at the time."What? How on earth did you know that I would be free from jail, and I would be coming back home in a moment?"Gavin raised an eyebrow above his happy face. "Why are you asking me a question like this? Have you in any case forgotten about the promise I made to you to get you and your family out of prison? Well that is how I know because I am the one responsible for getting out of jail."Meghan felt the anger surge up within herself. "What the hell is going on with you, Gavin? Why do you always have to lie about everything? For
Seeing that she was not going to be believing him, Gavin decided to just keep quiet and let her rage on, talking as much as she wanted, while he left her for the bedroom as he always did when she got very troublesome."Don't you dare walk out on me!" She thundered out loud, stopping him on his tracks. "I have still not talked about what you did to me on the night of the event. Don't you dare think I have forgotten everything you and your so-called mistress put me through. Don't be unfortunate, Gavin. Did you really think I would let that slide? You must be dumber than I thought.""Oh Meghan, how many times do I have to tell you that she is not my mistress." Gavin lamented once again."I don't fucking care who she is to you any more" she screamed. "All I know is that you defended her over me, who is supposed to be your wife. I don't care whatever lies you intend to spin, nor do I plan to believe them, but Gavin the moment you did that, putting a strange woman over me, sealed the fate o
"What is going on? Why have you not been at work? You know what? Never mind! Just take your raggedy body right here this instant. There is something important I want to attend to, and I don't need you slacking on the job while you are at it. Kapish!"With the words of his boss, Gavin raced against time over to the City Express Company. He knew what was about to happen and he smiled inwardly knowing it. Things were about to get really exciting for him, and he could not help but be excited even as he was in a taxi, going over to work.With the tone of voice his boss used, it was obvious that whatever he had called for was important. Gavin could not help but imagine all that this important thing could be.He arrived at work and further raced into Mr. Brax' office. The speed he got in with, got him nothing but tongue lashing from Mr. Brax, who as usual had a foul mood on himself."What the hell are you doing, running into my office like you are a mad man in a free way?" Thomas asked. Oh
