"No, wait, excuse me sir! You cannot just barge in here!" The security men at the door yelled at Pascal as he led three cops into Grey's Pharmaceuticals. As from that moment, a lot of eyes were on them. What had been a sunny afternoon ended up to be more steamy. "I have a warrant. This company has been exposed for harbouring information which could be detrimental to the development of this city. It is my duty to crush those attempts. Now, step aside, or I will charge you with intercepting an investigation." Pascal said to the security men who slowly backed down. They did not want any trouble with him, especially then that he was starting to get famous in the city.Pascal trudged inside, looking arive briefly. Grey's Pharmaceuticals was large, extremely large, and there was so many beautiful things to be seen in the company. He just kept walking until he got to a lift and went in with his men. Pascal had already gotten info on which floor Viktor Grey had his office, and he went straig
"You...how did you..." Pascal started but Viktor Grey quickly cut him off."You thought that I was dead, didn't you? So, that's why you decide to come to my office to cause a rukus. Ah, cops of these days. You never Really learn until you are taught a lesson." Viktor Grey said and walked closer to Pascal. Pascal could barely contain the shock on his face. He knew it was so obvious."You thought right. I did die, but I came back to life again. Pity that I cannot say the same about those wishing to do me harm." He told Pascal, and at that time, Pascal began to get his confident back."So what? You want to murder three cops right now? Is that what this is?" Pascal asked him and Viktor Grey quickly scoffed and recoiled. "I can arrest you for such words. You know that right? Let me tell you, Viktor, I am not scared of you. Nor of any of you. I have an ongoing investigation and you are interrupting.""So, tell me what you are investigating. What could be so important that you had to ransack
"Pascal! My office, now!" Pascal's heard his boss yell at him. Pascal just stood up and walked into the office. His boss kept pacing around, like he was trying to contain his anger. Pascal wondered why he was having such a bad day. Did he offend anyone in the cosmos?"You called for me, sir?" Pascal asked in modesty. His boss paused and gazed at him for some seconds."How did you do it? Fool everyone. How did you manage to hide your dirty nature in the cops?" He asked Pascal who just froze there, unsure of what to say."I'm sorry but I do not understand. What do you mean sir?" Pascal asked. His boss just picked up a file on the table and lay it down before him. Pascal gazed at the file and went through them. There were lots of fake images of him speaking to corrupt criminals that have been convicted in the past."Sir, these aren't me. I never spoke with these people." Pascal stated."That is not the only evidence I have, Pascal. I also have cash receipts and transaction details of the
Mia quickly rushed out of the Starbucks that was just to the left of her company. She could not argue that they made the best coffee in that part of the city, and fr a day that already began with lots of paperwork to go over, she knew that she was in for a long time.She quickly returned to the office. She could not afford to stay away for so long. In The Crow, several people rushed around, each trying to cover the latest happenings in the city. They all knew that there were several stories that required their attention, and if they wanted to remain the best, they had to be ahead of the times."Ma'am, i just got a report of a murder in the fifth Street. They say the scene is gory and it requires our type of presence to properly cover the story."Rory, a promising journalist said to Mia as she walked towards her office. He had joined her about two months before, and he was good."What makes it so special? There are lots of murders everyday." She asked him while walking towards the lift.
"Can you get closer look at what's happening? We need names, people, places, events. We need things to pin him to this crime." Pascal said to her and she nodded."Your boss' name is Carson, isn't it? What are the chances that he will use that name on the dark web?" Mia asked."Quite low. But he will definitely go for something similar." Was Pascal's response."Well, the things that I can see here are illegal debits from the city police accounts, adult videos and links, many other obscene things, and... wait!" She gasped. "I have it. there is a leaked conversation from his phone. It's with someone called the Handler. The phone was destroyed afterward." She said to him. "What does the conversation say?" Pascal asked her."It says to ensure he cleans the mess and he will get a reward. That was the last text. What mess?" Mia wondered."When was the message sent to him?" Pascal asked Mia."A little over seven years ago." She responded."That was the same time he became chief. He did somet
"Tom. What are you doing here?" Pascal asked as Tom walked closer. The air suddenly became more tight, and the adrenaline rushing through Pascal's blood seemed to make him even more angry. He frowned as Tom walked closer, and grinned to his face."I am back at the station. You see, I never could stay away. No matter how much you may have wished for that to happen." He told Pascal who just scoffed. Around them, nurses walked about, handling patients. Pascal should be asking about Evan at that point and not entertaining that tramp of a cop."I never even cared about your presence at the station, although I can say that it was easier ever since you left. The air was also Better. Maybe you just have a way of sucking out the joy from the room." Pascal told him, and Tom stopped grinning. "I heard about what happened to you today. I never for once imagined that someone who seemed to be so upright and just could get himself into some sort of trouble. And to think that you had to collect brib
Blue and red. The lights flickered as Pascal stood outside the cadet's house. The cops had taken his statement, and for the first time, he lied. He told them that he had just driven through the area and had noticed the door was unlocked and two Ken running out, but when he went inside, he found the cadet's body.Pascal felt terrible for having to tell a lie. He felt so bad that all he could do was to stand at the side of the house and watch the forensics take out the cadet's body."You did the right thing, Pascal. You behaved like a true cop." Carson, his boss said to him and stood side by side with him. "Thank you,sir." Pascal muttered. His boss exhaled while he kept gazing at the house. "He was a good kid, was he not? He had a promising future. I could see him as one of the best in the future. It's a pity he had to die just like that." He told Pascal who just nodded. Carson gave Pascal a Stern gaze."You didn't happen to talk with him about anything, did you?" He asked Pascal. Pasc
"Boss, give us permission to turn them all to corpses," Marv said to Oliver as his gun remained pointed at Veron. Veron just smiled as Marv said the words. He chuckled lightly, and then exhaled."Marv, you should not do that. I promise you that before you even pull the trigger, you will see your fingers flying in the air. Do you want to risk it?" Veron asked Marv whose face darkened. How did he know his name? Oliver just observed Veron. He was not like his brother. This one was unpredictable, and if Oliver wanted to defeat him, he had to do it carefully."Oliver, your father would have understood what I'm trying to do. You see, this is a good thing. I finally want to put an end to the rivalry between our families. This is a good thing, Perhaps, I'll even advise my niece to marry you. We will become one happy family, and I'll call the shots, of course, but you get the point. So, what do you say?" Veron asked Oliver. Oliver remained silent. "You are using the 'silence is golden' trick."
"How is the child holding up?" Jake asked Viktor Grey over the phone while he fixed his attention on Stacy. The little child was obviously terrified, and the constant dripping of water from the leaking pipes made her even more unsettled."She is coping better than I imagined. Now all that is left is for us to kill that bastard cop and Oliver with it," Viktor Grey said to him."I know that Oliver will reach out soon. And when he does, I will be ready for him. You have dozens of my men to guard you there. You will be fine," Jake told Viktor Grey and then hung up. As soon as he did, Viktor returned his attention to Stacy.She whimpered and dragged herself back as he approached her..he had a wicked laugh on his face."Don't be afraid little one. I will not hurt you. I just want to hurt your daddy and the man he works with. You see, I used to have a daughter like you. Her name was Elina. She was very beautiful and she was brilliant. But the man your daddy works with killed her and so, I wa
"This can be a trap. Tell me why I must believe you," Oliver asked her and Beth sighed. She could not believe that she was making some sort of negotiation with Oliver."Left for me, you will be behind bars right now. But I am doing this for Steven and I am breaking my code to do it so do not make it harder than it already is," she said to him and Oliver smiled."I like you. Come with me," he told her and then led her to his study. Miranda was there clicking furiously on the systems there.. when Beth approached, she stopped what she was doing and then gazed at Beth for a while."Miranda, meet Beth, Beth Miranda. She's our eyses in the sky. I have a feeling that you'll both be friends. Beth, tell me where you think Stacy is," Oliver asked."Somewhere in St Lambert's City. The tiger gang has a secret hideout in St Lambert's that they use for various dangerous activities. My best guess would be that they brought her here to avoid suspicion from the cops. Besides, it was probably a diversi
"Heard what?" Oliver could feel his anger rising. The heat in the room suddenly increased and when he approachd Pascal, Pascal jerked back to avoid the possible punch that was coming his way "I did not know about Mia. I am really sorry Oliver. I am broken beyond what you can imagine. And I am furious! I am so furious that I wan to vent my anger on someone and I don't know who," Pascal said to him."And why are you here then? To vent your anger on me?" Oliver asked while raising his eyebrow. Pascal sighed defeated as his shoulders dropped."No, not at all. I just came here to help you in your mission.. I know that you will not sit tight and watch those who killed her be at peace. I know that you will destroy them. So I want to join you. Please Oliver forgive me. I need your forgiveness. I know that I do not deserve it but I just want you to please forgive me," he said to oliver. Oliver did not feel his anger subside, not even for a moment. He gazed at Pascal again and Wondered what mi
"No, fuck! This cannot he happening to me!" Steven tried to breath as the words found their way out of his mouth but he just could not fathom the degree of pain that he was feeling. Anger would not help him at that time he thought. Jake had decided to Target his family and the only way that he was getting his family back was if met Jake's forces with one that was equal to the task, or if he surrenders.Steven quickly took the phone. He dialed Oliver's number and waited for him to pick up the phone."Steven," Oliver said as soon as he picked us up."Oliver. He has my daughter. That bastard has taken my daughter and I do not know what to do. He said he'll send me a location to meet with him and I have to decide whether or not I'll give my life for her," Steven blurted out."Take it easy Steven. Nothing will happen to your daughter or to you. I will ensure it," Oliver told him."But what can you do? Jake said that you cannot help me. My only option is to die for my daughter to live. I ha
"Like we said earlier, we do not allow anyone without an invitation to pass. I don't care if you are the chief of police. You are not stepping into this house," the guard repeated and that made Steven to wonder just how bad it is that the police force in Marshtown had fallen. If they could have no respect for his badge, then he just had to beat the living shit out of them"Let me pass. I will not ask you again," Steven said to the guards. One of them brought out his gun and gazed at Steven with fierce eyes."You need to leave now, mister or we will have a oribkemy," he said to Steven and just as Steven was about to make a move at them, the front door opened.. it was the judge"Let him through. He and I have some catching up to do," the judge said and the bodyguards let Steven pass. Steven followed the judge to The living room and there the judge settled himself into a chair. He even appeared to be Richer than he was some months ago."I can see that you are back from the dead, Steven.
"Chief, what are you doing here?" Steven asked the chief as he slowly approached him. The chief paid close attention to the files that was in Steven's hands and then his eyes roamed to Steven's."Don't tell me you still plan on pursuing that case. I told you it was dangerous, Steven and you do not want to listen to me. That case will get you killed," the chief said and Steven dropped the files in his hand. He paid a closer look to the chief and for real he could see worry in the man's face."I don't understand. Why are you telling me all of this?" He asked the chief really desperate for answers. The chief sighed."When the tiger gang found out that you were following them, they planned to have you killed. They reached out to me and asked me to do the job otherwise they would kill my family. I tried to beg them but they were adamant. They would not take no for an answer. So, I made up my mind about you," the chief stopped, and then observed the dark face that Steven was wearing at that
"Come in, you will be safe here," Bill said to Avira. She gazed into the well furnished apartment before she stepped inside. The warmth of the place enveloped her and for a moment, she was feeling secure."I still don't understand why I'm hwre. I told you I was fine. You didn't need to go through all of this for me," she told him."Nonsense. You were lucky that day that you stepped out to get coffee while he explosion occurred. If Oliver's enemies wanted to know something about him, who do you think will be in the best position to tell them what's happening with him? Of course it's his secretary. I want to keep you safe so that no harm will come to you," he added. Avira could feel her heart melting. But she refused to admit it."Well in that case, I hope there is something to drink. Where are we exactly?" She asked him."This is my house. I come here sometimes to relax for a moment and then focus my thoughts." He told her."You are really loyal to Oliver. You literally forget to live
Oliver drove his car to the address on the envelope. It was an expensive restaurant, one that he had planned to visit with Mia after their honeymoon. He shoved back the painful thoughts and then stepped down from the car. Oliver gazed the entrance one more time and then stepped into the restaurant."Good evening sir, how may I be of assistance?" A waiter asked him and then oliver smiled."Good evening. I am looking for this table," he said and then showed her the number on the envelope. The girl smiled at him again."Please come with me sir," she said and then led him away. Oliver followed her closely, and as they walked through the scanty place, he could feel the eyes of some people on him. He knew who they were immediately, they were part of Jake's group."In here sir," she said to him and Oliver Stepped into the room that she was pointing towards. As soon as he entered the well decorated space, he looked around.There were beautiful lighting all over the place and the large chairs
"So you mean to tell me that that lowlife cop decided to show again in my town?" Jake asked over the phone and the chief of police sighed"I gave him explicit warnings and told him not to ever return to this town but he did not listen. I don't know how he managed to work his way back. My instructions were very clear on him sir. That cop Should never set foot in Marshtown, that was what I said." The chief of police stated and Jake laughed."It seems like he is begging to die. I suppose that I should Grant his wish then. If he wants death, who am I to say that I will not kill him?" He said to the chief of police."Give him some time sir. I am sure that I can persuade him to return to St Lambert's City. He cannot gain anything from being here. He will only make things worse. He came back and started accusing the tiger gang of being responsible of some crimes. I will take care of him myself. You do not need to worry," the chief of police stated. He wanted to save Steven's life at least.
