Oliver opened the door to the basement and stepped inside. He was careful enough to avoid anything that looked like a trap. As soon as he was in the clear, he looked around."Mia?" He called out with his gun still in his hand."Oliver!" Mia exclaimed while she threw herself into his arms. She sobbed as he held her close and then he kissed her."I never doubted that you would find me. I knew you would." She said to him with a smile. Oliver cupped her face in his hands."I will never abandon you Mia. You know that, don't you? You and I are meant for each other. I will never let you go," he reassured her and kissed her gently. "We have to leave this place," oliver said to her but then they heard someone clapping."What a beautiful display of love. I am almost moved to tears. I'm lying. It disgusts me," jigger said as he stepped into the basement with a gun in his hand. Oliver aimed at him while Mia stepped behind oliver for protection."I don't know how you managed to find me Oliver but
Viktor Grey drove back home in a frenzy. The spy that had went with him had been to terrified to step out of the car and when Viktor Grey returned to the car, it confirmed what the spy has already suspected."What happened sir?" He asked Viktor Grey. Viktor sighed as he kept driving."Mia is dead." He said and the spy gasped. His breath shook while he tried to make sense of what Viktor was talking about."What does that mean for us?" He asked Viktor Grey as he took another turn. A car nearly crashed into him but Viktor did not pay any attention to it "If you know what's good for you, you will pick up your things and you will leave this city for good. Oliver will come back to exert revenge on all all who were involved in Mia's death and I am number one in that list. So, get up and run as if your life depends on it for it could," Viktor Grey told the spy who just exclaimed. As soon as Viktor Grey got to the house, he jumped out of the car and rushed inside."Get my bags ready and book
"Father who is he?" Elina asked Viktor Grey who slowly stood to his feet. He gazed at Simone like he was looking at a ghost."That is Simone, jigger's brother," he said to Elina and she quickly turned to gaze at the man again. She could see the resemblance at that point."I thought you had died, Simone. How did you survive that accident ten years ago?" Viktor Grey asked Simone while he took his seat despite not being invited to do so. He smiled at Viktor the same way that jigger always smiled; tense, cold and haunting."Oh you know. Luck? Miracle? I can't really tell. But what I do know is that I managed to crawl my way out of that car before it exploded and I have been living in isolation since. That begs the question of how my brother Jigger died," he asked Viktor who just scoffed and shrugged his shoulders."Jigger has always been problematic. We both can attest to this. I don't know how he died. Maybe he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time." He said to Simone.
Xerox walked down to where Miranda stood on the balcony. She supported herself with a pair of clutches and, although her legs hurt her so much, she did not show it."How's the leg?" He asked her while he approached and she smiled."I can barely feel a thing," she said to him. Xerox raised his brow and scoffed."Really? Do you want me to kick you then? Just to be sure, you know," he told her and she gasped."You would kick a lady?" Miranda chuckled, and although Xerox was not in the mood to laugh, he smiled."We all know you are not as weak as you pretend to be," he told her and she nodded."True, but i also did not undertake the insane training that the rest of you went through. That has got to mean something, doesn't it? I am not as amazing or as super skilled like the rest of the shadows in this place," Miranda said and sighed. "I did not realize just how useless I was until that building exploded. I had to rely on Oliver saving me when as a shadow I was supposed to be saving him,"
"What is it?" Oliver asked the secretary over the phone. The fact that she decided to call him that way made him uncomfortable. "Boss, there is someone here in the office that had come to see you. He is demanding some things boss and I don't know what to say to him," she said to him and Oliver frowned."Tell him that I have no interest in meeting up with anybody today. He should come back some other time." Oliver instructed, but the secretary shuddered."He said he knows someone called jigger. I don't know what he wants sir. He is really scary sir. Please I don't know what to do," the secretary lamented but when Oliver heard what was happening he cursed. "Do not do anything until I get there, do you understand me?" He said to the secretary."Yes boss," she replied. Oliver hung up and jumped from the seat. He immediately sobered up, not like alcohol had any effects on him in the first place. "What's going on boss?" Bill asked him when worry rocked his face"It seems like that war ha
Oliver declined the call at first. He dropped the phone on the table while Bill and Xerox took out the body. Then the phone began to ring again. Oliver gazed at the phone and sighed. He picked it up and received the call."Who is this?" He asked with a sour time."Hello, Mr Lionheart, I am detective Steven from St Lambert's City Police department. I want to ask you some questions regarding the shoot down at the fifth avenue if that's alright with you," Steven said from the other side of the phone."What do you want to know?" Oliver asked him."I rather we meet in a place the is more conducive for speaking. What about the Lounge Cafe?" He asked Oliver who sighed. He knew he could not keep the police off his tail by refusing to speak with them. It will only escalate things and he did not want things to become escalated."Meet me there in ten minutes," oliver said and hung up. He placed the phone in his pocket and quickly stepped out of the office. Bill had wrapped up the body by then an
Steven placed his hand into his jacket pocket and took out a necklace. He slowly placed the necklace on the table before Oliver and watched as Oliver's eyes roamed to it. "There was only one person in the entire city who owned the first design of the Kriss model necklace, and that was Mia, your fiance. About two nights ago, I got a report of an accident which was quick cleaned up before the police arrived. The eye witnesses described the car as yours. Being rich leaves it's Marks. And when I saw this necklace at the scene, it only confirmed what I have been suspecting," Steven told Oliver and he kept his eyes straight. Any attempt to look at the necklace gave him immense pain."And what have you confirmed?" Oliver asked him."That Mia was abducted that night after the accident. You tracked her to the fifth avenue to rescue her but in the process she was wounded." Steven said to him. "Did I miss anything?" He asked Oliver."You missed the toppings. She was not wounded. She was murdere
Elina stood beside her father as the door slowly opened. She grabbed his shirt and shuddered while Oliver stepped into the room. His eyes were not friendly, and the dark distant stare in his eyes made Viktor Grey to become downcast. He was terrified of Oliver's presence and nothing was stopping that emotional outrage."Oliver, what are you doing here? This is a surprise. I was not expecting you today," Viktor Grey said to Oliver who Just Kept glaring at them. Then his eyes rolled to Elina who shuddered and Clung to her father."Viktor, I did not come here for much. I only came here to collect a single thing," oliver told him and stepped closer. Viktor Grey let out a bothered cackle"And what could that be then? He asked Oliver and when Oliver drew a gun, Elina screamed. She fell down and whimpered. Viktor Grey tried his best to remain standing but he was starting to lose his balance."I came here for your life," he said to Viktor Grey. "and hers too" Oliver added while pointing the gu
