Pascal dialed Mia's number. It rang severally but she was not picking up. He rushed out of the cab and quickly entered into the police station. The entire city was on fire over what had happened the previous night. The people were in a state of unrest, and the public shooting that had occurred some hours ago had almost led to a riot.Pascal could hardly find a clear route as he tried to get back to work. There were several hoodlums on the streets protesting that the police had failed them. One of the hoodlums nearly destroyed Pascal's window and he had to drive out of the scene in full speed."Hey, get over here. The boss wants us, now." A tall man Pascal recognised as Evan said to him. Evan was his new partner. His former partner has been sacked. "Why do you speak to me that way?" Pascal asked Evan who froze for a moment. They exchanged cold glances until Evan burst into a fit of laughter."Oh man, you should have seen your face. I was fucking with you. I do this to anyone I've wor
"Alright, easy. Take it easy on her." Oliver instructed as the shadows led Minerva into the house. She could barely keep her eyes open. She just kept groaning as the wound in her arm bled profusely"Send for the doctor." Oliver instructed."Yes boss." A shadow said and dashed out of the house. Marv quickly stepped up, picked Minerva off the ground and carried her inside. She kept groaning as he did, and when he turned to walk through a corridor, she slowly tugged his shirt tighter."Stay with me..." She muttered as he carried her. Marv shot her a quick glance before he continued. He opened the door which led to one of the guests bedrooms and took her to the bed. He lay her on the bed while she kept muttering.Oliver followed suit and watched her. "The doctor is on his way," Oliver assured her but she shook her head."No, wait. He would not know what to do. It's poison," she said and Marv exchanged glances with Oliver."What kind?" Oliver asked her. She tried to speak but she suddenly
Oliver slowly parked the car in front of the cottage. He stepped down and took a look around as Mia dropped from the car."You grew up here?" He asked he as she raised her eyebrow."Why? Not Grand enough?" She asked, feeling very curious as to why he would ask that."No, not that. It's very calm around here. Serene. I like the environment. It's peaceful. No wonder you're the way you are, " He added and she smiled."Well, I guess I did not turn out too bad. So, here we go. I hope she's around, and that is if she does not throw me out first." She sighed as they walked towards the door. She knocked twice. Oliver's eyes went to the garden. There were so many flowers that had never seen before. There were so much colours and he wanted to get some for Mia. He thought she would love the gesture. Just then, the door opened. A woman stepped outside."Aunt..." Mia started but the woman quickly pulled her into a hug. She squeezed so tightly that Mia struggled to breathe."Aunt, I can't breathe.
"What is this?" Oliver asked Caleb."This is a vial made from Lambrose dwelling worms. These worms contains a toxin which can allow them to survive the harsh environment provided by lambrose. Now they actually dwell on the flower itself and so people just assumes that it's the flowers that do the trick." Caleb said and scoffed."I want that vial." Oliver told him but Caleb slowly hid the vial."I'm afraid that's not gonna happen sir. You see, this vial was made from the painstaking efforts of a lot of people and you know that you cannot simply take it. I paid millions of dollars to get this." Caleb stated. Mia scoffed. She knew he was lying. He did not pay anything. He just stole the vial many years ago from a source she could not pinpoint."Then how much do you want for it?" Oliver asked him calmly."Oh come on, you don't have to be like this...""How much?!" Oliver yelled at him, cutting him off. Caleb gasped at the sudden uproar. He shook his head in shock."You are so aggressive.
"The shadows will not let you arrest their boss. Do not underestimate them, Pascal. They are powerful and fierce and they can easily take out your cops if they see fit. You need to call this off, now." Mia tried to convince Pedro but he slowly laughed. He ran his hand through his hair, a habit of his whenever he was pissed."You just told me a bunch of thugs are better trained than the esteemed cops of this city. Right now, Mia, I'm thinking that perhaps I need to take you away from here," he said to her. Mia's face was drawn into a frown. She blinked severally while her brain tried to process his words."What is that supposed to mean?" She asked him."It means you have been compromised. Your judgement has been tampered with by the terrible company you keep. This is unlike you," Pascal told her."I am a fully grown woman and I am capable of making my own decisions. You cannot take me away from here simply because you feel like doing so. I am not your property,""And I want to keep you
"The Goldie family. I know for a fact that they have access to that type of poison. But the family are always so careful with who they share it with. Perhaps you might have annoyed them somehow?" Stefano asked Oliver. Oliver threw him on the ground and he landed with a thud "ow!" Stefano cried out."Annoyed them? I don't even know who the fuck they are. I want to meet with this family. I want to know what they have against me." Oliver told stefano who dragged himself on the ground. He sighed as he gazed at Oliver."Man, you really have your hands tied right now don't you? I mean, you're a villain in the eyes of the police, the people probably hate or fear you, you have enemies that want to see you dead and here you are working with me just to get answers. It's not roses, is it?" Stefano chuckled. Oliver slowly approached him and crunched. He smacked his lips while gazing at Stefano."The only reason why you are still alive right now is because I have use for you. I can do this job wit
The plane slowly cruised to a halt on the runway. Although the journey, Oliver kept a poker face. Mia sat beside him calmly, watching as he breathed up and down. Stefano sat at the back of the plane beside Bill who actually held a gun at hand. Stefano scoffed at the gesture."If you're trying to be scary, you have won. Why don't you just put the gun away now?" Stefano asked Bill who just shot him a glare. Stefano puffed while flaring his hands in the air."Or not." He slowly added. "You know you are more intimidating without the gun in your hand, right?" He asked Bill again."You know you are better off with your mouth shut, right?" Bill asked him. "I'm just trying to be friendly here. Wherever I go, I make friends. It's how I have managed to survive all these time." He leaned closer to bull and whispered. "You know I can pay you better than Oliver does, right? I mean, you are like the second in commad and you are good at what you do. You could build something like the Shadows for me
"You speak nonsense. Everyone knows the women in this clan cannot have men in their lives. I am the leader, shouldn't I uphold that law the most?" The matron asked Oliver who just smiled at her. He whispered into her ears again."Oh, but you've been a bad girl, haven't you? You have failed to uphold what you preach. You have led these women astray. What do you think will happen if I was to tell these women that their wise and fierce matron has been keeping a husband at the side of the door? How do you think they will react?" Oliver asked her."They will never believe you." The matron stated. Oliver drew away from her."Shall we put that to the test?" He asked her and smiled. They kept their eyes on each other for a moment, each studying the other to see who was the fiercest. Finally, the matron smiled."Girls, drop your weapons. They are our guests. Treat them accordingly." The matron ordered and the women slowly put down their gun. They gave the shadows fierce glares before they led
