“The deal is completely signed and all the paper works have been completed, congratulations, Mr. Robert Kade” one of the board members stretched his hands for a handshake, Robert accept it, forcing a smile on his face to look as genuine as possible, he knows that at the end of the day, his cheeks are going to hurt from all the smiles that he have forced out today. The board member had a sheepish smile plastered on his face and he held onto Robert’s hand a bit longer than usual, until Robert had to force his hand off his grip. Robert have done the complete assessment of every board member here, they were all made up of stingy and selfish people who only think of themselves and nothing more, they are only after what will benefit them the most, which was one of the things that Robert hates the most, they don’t even give a damn about who they hurt to get what they want. Robert was disgusted at every one of them in the board meeting room and he didn’t fail to show it at intervals but the
"Dennis is in town" Alice said while sitting beside Liam on the couch in Robert's house, a maid came in with a bottle of wine and three cups, she placed a cup in front of the both of them and one opposite them, in front of an empty chair, she poured the red liquid contents of the wine bottle into the two cups placed in front of Liam and Alice, she poured the contents halfway of the wine glass after she saw Robert descending the staircase, she poured the same quantity into the cup that was meant for him also. "He is in town? He made his first move yesterday, I haven't got much time to deal with him, I have the maximum of a week and I can tell that he wants to wrap this up as quick as possible, because he is using the same pattern like he use to get his criminals, I can’t tell if he is toying with me or underestimating, this is the first time that I am confused about someone like this, I never knew that the FBI agents are so cool like this, he must be one of the reasons why they could
“So what is your deal with Dennis?” Lois asked as she served coffee to Robert and Liam who was sitting beside Robert on her couch in her apartment. Robert sipped a little from the coffee and placed it back on the table before him. “Turns out that Dennis is part of the circle of friends that Matt was in and they are plotting a revenge against me for putting one of them into jail” Robert said. “That’s really bad news, the FBI had trouble dealing with him, he was a real pain in the ass, but they couldn’t dispose him as at that moment because he is one of the best detectives that we have—“ Robert cut in, he had come here to learn everything that he can, about this Dennis that was hell bent on bringing him down. “What do you mean by he was a real pain in the ass?” he asked, right now he was behaving like a student in the classroom who was hell bent on learning a particular subject because it was already in a stage of do-or-die. “He likes jumping into other detectives case and solving
Dennis sat on a comfy chair, staring at the television with a glass of champagne in his right hand and his left hand holding the phone to his ear, his legs crossed on the table. He had a smile on his face that brightened his facial features, it was like a different personality had taken over now that he was talking with Lois over the phone. “You called by this time, what is it?” Dennis asked, his face slightly squeezed as he tried to think of what the reason for her phone call might be.“Robert wants to see you at Cramavings restaurant tomorrow by two o’clock at noon” She said suddenly after a while of silence. “Huh? What did he want to see me for, is he asking me out on a date?” Dennis asked her jokingly, pressing his lips into a flat line. “He is not gay, come on” she said with a soft laughter, “he looked serious though” “Was there fear on his face?” Dennis asked in a serious tone. “No, there was no fear on his face, it was once there at first but it seemed to be dead by now,
Robert stretched his right hand, forming the sign as if his hand is on the trigger of an imaginary gun and his left hand was placed beneath his right hand. “Bang” he mouthed the word with a very serious expression on his face, “and bang, you are dead” he said with a cold smile on his face. Dennis had a puzzled expression plastered on his face, he bent his head down to see the place where Robert had pointed his imaginary gun to, there was a red laser beam at his left side chest, directly at the part where the heart is. He could then that there was a sniper around and he looked behind Robert and then to the window side, his gaze moving fast from one of the tall buildings that have a better positioning to take an aim from to another building, he couldn’t get one, there were many building and different positions the sniper could have aimed from. “If I was aiming for you, do you really think I would tell them to target your chest, when there is a high percentage chance of you putting o
Liam pressed his foot on the pedal a little, as he drove through the rough road of the streets of a rural area, dusts had gathered up and filled the area, he took a turn into a corner by his left and stopped at the dead end of the streets. He turned off the engine and got off his car, shutting the door close behind him, he brought out his phone and turned on his phone and enlarged the map on it, he raised his head and looked around to confirm that is at the right street. He looked down at his phone again and after confirming that he is at the right street, he placed his phone in the pocket of his black suit trousers. He walked towards a brown bungalow with black gates, which was open, he pushed it and walk in, he took of his dark shade sunglasses. “Good day sir” he greeted a man who seemed to be in his early sixties, who was sitting in front of the house with what seemed like a bottle of chilled beer which appeared to have been drunk halfway through in his hand. “Yes? Good day to y
Robert sat on his couch with his legs crossed together on one another on a small stool, he was clad on a black singlet and a black shorts, he was going through the files in his hand, his eyes and whole attention glued on what he was reading that he didn’t notice Liam walk in. “Yo man” Liam called and slumped on the chair opposite Robert with a tired sigh, “Been a long day” he muttered under his breath as in bent down to pull off his shoes. “Robert, you hearing what I am saying?” Liam called out with a slight frown on his face. He stood up and walked towards Robert, tapping his legs that was crossed on a stool. Robert pulled down the files from his face and sprung up to his feet quickly, his eyebrow furrowed and drew closer to itself, he scrunched his face up into a frown, after noticing that it was Liam standing opposite him. He relaxed a bit and sat on the chair with a sigh, “What’s up man?” “Jeez! I have been calling you since like forever, what you up to?” Liam asked as he wa
Liam sat on his swivel chair, staring at the wall clock opposite him, watching as time swing by slowly, tapping his fingers on the table, his fingers making a beat sound, he drift off deep to thoughts slowly.Its already been two days already since Robert left and when Liam had swung by the hospital, he had discovered that she was not in her room, the nurses reported that Robert had come to take her to his house, he said he wants her to be receiving treatment in his house, that is the story that Robert had fed him but Liam knew it was all a lie. Robert was nowhere to be found in his house, he had disappeared that day after having that conversation with Liam. Liam had tried calling him severally but it was all to no avail, his line was not even going through at all, it was like he had suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth and there was barely any trace that he even still existed. The past two days had been filled with a lot of events for Liam, first of all it was Robert sud
