The court buzzed as the large armoured truck drove towards the court. Reporters and journalists rushed to the truck with their recording devices ready. As soon as the truck was opened and Ivy stepped out, they began to throw questions at her. The police just led her through the crowd and took her inside. On her way in, she saw Oliver and smiled at him. Oliver just gazed at her, and the terrible noises coming from the reporters made him sigh."Do you think it is a good idea, making a deal with her?" Mia asked him. Oliver just kept gazing at the Crowd."It is the only option i have for now if I want to catch the one that tried to murder me." He told her."Ivy is a very dangerous person. She is not someone you're even supposed to meddle with. I pray it all goes well today," she said and sighed, and then looked over her shoulders."Waiting for someone?" Oliver asked her. She exhaled and brushed her hand on her hair."Yes, there are some new interns that I must access today. I do not know
"Stay here. Wait for me," Oliver told Mia who looked around in surprise. "Where are you going?" She asked him, unsure of what to do. It was mayhem around them and they really should stick together."I have to check something out. Wait for me and don't go anywhere." He told her and dashed out of the scene in pursuit of the strange man. Oliver crossed the road quickly and followed the man who walked faster than he should."Boss, I could not find anyone. It seems like the person is a ghost," Marv said over the the comms."He's not a ghost, Marv. I think I have eyes on him right now." Oliver said as he kept walking. He kept a good distance so that the man would not notice on time. "Do you need assistance, sir?" Marv asked Oliver."Don't worry. Go take care of Mia. She is in the court. Make sure no harm comes to her." He commanded."Yes, boss." Marv said and hung up. Oliver did not relent in his chase. He followed the man as the man took a stride into another street, but by then, he noti
Rebecca fought as the Shadows tied her down. Her eyes flashed constantly as she tried to decipher where she was, but her intelligence failed her. She groaned and yelled as she kicked, wriggling to get free from the ropes binding her to the chair."Hey! You brats! Let me out of here. I want to get out of here! I demand to get the fuck out of here!"she yelled, but no one came to her. She groaned in frustration, not knowing what to do."Hey! Is anybody there? Speak to me you cowards! Do you know who I am? Do you know who the fuck I am? I'll kill you all! I will destroy you all! Let me out!" She kept yelling and kept fighting. She pushed her chair and soon crashed on the ground. She groaned. She had but her left shoulder and it was probably dislocated. She cried as she tried to move,bbut she could not. It was too much for her."Please...let me out of here. Please... anybody! Let me out!" She cried out, but no help came to her. At least, not then.She kept sobbing quietly until the door
Gerald was alone with his thoughts. He paced around the room, with his feet making stomping sounds on the ground. Gerald sighed as he tried to think straight. So many things were happening to him at the same time and he just didn't know how to handle it.Over the past days, he had been getting anonymous threats to end his life. Gerald knew it wasn't a bluff, and he sort of suspected who the culprit was. But he was not in any position to fight a man that powerful. In the chain of command, Gerald was still too low. So low.He sighed. Should he ask Viktor Grey for help? That would probably be a mistake, he thought. Viktor Grey was an opportunist. He wanted to get something out of everybody. He didn't care about the consequences of his actions and Gerald knew that it would be a mistake to ask Viktor for help. Then, what should he do? Maybe he should ask Rebecca? She was crazy and still, she had her own power. Gerald admired the kind of woman she was. She was fierce and commanding. He jus
"I handled this years ago!" Jon yelled at Viktor Grey."And you failed!" Viktor retorted. Jon just sighed as he kept his gaze on the ground. He had to play cool. He knew that nothing good would come from offending Viktor Grey."I met Oliver today. After killing Ivy, I wanted to run. He tracked me down. I still don't know how he did it, managed to track me amidst the crowd. He wore something over his face but I knew. I could see the eyes. They stared at me and it reminded me of everything I had done. So, Viktor, I'm tired of working for you. I gave up this life a long time ago. You already made me break my vow to my wife." Jon told Viktor who just chuckled. Then, Viktor Grey opened his laptop again and typed on it."Do you mean this wife?" He asked and showed him a video footage of Jon's wife being bound in ropes. Jon gasped when he saw the woman. Her mouth was taped shut and she could barely mumble."What the hell have you done?" Jon flared."I thought you needed some motivation," Vik
Oliver stood up and walked closer to him. Jon kept his eyes on Oliver all along, and when Oliver brought out his gun, he did not even flinch."You are not afraid of dying?" Oliver asked him. Jon just exhaled and stood up to face Oliver."I am not. I have done a lot of bad things in my life. So many bad things. But here I am trying to make peace with the one person that I know might never forgive me. I am sorry for what I did to you, Oliver Lionheart. But I do not want my family to suffer the consequences of my crimes. I want it all to be on me. Which is why I need your help to liberate them from Viktor Grey. I knew your father, and grandfather. They were good people. I know you are good as well. Please..." Jon soon fell on his knees before Oliver. Oliver just watched him for some time. He could not believe that his heart was telling him to help Jon."Fuck!" Oliver muttered. He should not even be considering that possibility! But then, he dropped his gun and sat back down."What do you
Viktor Grey stood outside the old warehouse with his goons. He constantly kept stomping his feet on the ground as time passed. At his side was Jonathan's family. They sobbed and moaned as they tried to make sense of the situation but they could not. They just hugged each other closely and sobbed."Be quiet!" A good yelled at them. "Oh, do not shout, Thomas. Leave them alone. They are frightened. Besides, they have every right to be..." Viktor Grey said as he approached them. He kept his eyes on them and smiled. The wife sniffled, an dragged herself backwards to protect her child."Why are you doing this to us? Let us go. We did not harm you. You have the wrong people." Jon's wife said to him as Viktor Grey crouched. He smiled, slowly ran his hand through her hair and exhaled."I'm terribly sorry for all you had to endure, but the thing is, this is the only way to get your husband to obey me. Your husband is a pretty stubborn man. Did you know that?" Viktor Grey asked and smiled."No.
Viktor Grey's face suddenly Darkened as Oliver said the words, but before he could react, Jon shot him on the shoulder. It was a missed shot, Jon had intended to shoot him in the heart. Viktor Grey yelled as he crashed to the ground, and as Jon was about to take another shot, Viktor's men opened for on them.Oliver quickly dashed up and took his gun out. He started shooting at the men who were a bit experienced with guns. They hid behind the pillars of the abandoned building as bullets flew through the air. Jon could see his family caught in the crossfire, and they kept screaming and whimpering as bullets flew past them."Jon, cover me!" Oliver yelled at Jon who nodded. Then he dashed towards Jon's family and began to take them out of the fire. They kept whimpering as Oliver dragged them to safety, but then, a bullet grazed Oliver's shoulder."Argh!" Oliver groaned. The bullet barely missed him. He scoffed as he returned to his shooting spree. "What the hell is taking your shadows so
