Rafael set to work the very minute after he confirmed the e-mail from Gale. He was known to be efficient and punctual in his job in the technology department. And now that he got a call directly from a member of the board to work on something, he would be as fast as he could get so as to make an impression on the higher powers of the Milton Conglomerate. It was an easy task to do, nothing he hadn’t done before. Long before Rafael even thought of working for someone, he was a tech guy with the school of thought that he would not work under any firm. Then, he did his own work and made his own money. But his own work was not noble work. He hacked into systems for a living. He did this at the prime of his career and was living the life, the peak life. Until one day when he hacked into a system with strong enough security to know who hacked into the system. Rafael did not know before this mission that he was heading in the wrong direction. So, he went ahead and hacked into a bank's system
Clint was more than shocked. He turned around to see where the gun shot had come from. He saw that it was the receptionist at the hotel, who now stood naked in front of the hotel, and from the looks of it, Clint could tell that he had a smirk plastered to his face. Why would the receptionist shoot Gale? He did not even know who they were! Clint's mind raced with thoughts in those few seconds that he turned to look at the receptionist who shot Gale, before turning around to his friend again, who was now crying in pain. “Stay away from here and stop asking too many questions.” The receptionist yelled and went back inside."Gale? Gale are you okay?" Clint asked. "No, no. No, I'm not. I was just shot on the arm. We have to call Cade, we have to let him know of this.""We will do that when you are in a hospital." Clint said and made to carry his friend, but that was cut short by another action which sent him falling on his face. His head was hit from behind and the last thing he remember
Days later, Cade received the funniest news he had heard in a while. The Bellwethers had been granted bail from the prison cell. It made him laugh because he knew that they had no one to get them out of the cell. But they had come out. Cade suspected that it was Barnes' doing. He figured out that they might have called him to come to their rescue and he had answered them now that he was apparently no longer in hiding. He knew the Bellwethers so much, so he knew that if they were out of the prison, then they would be up with a plan to escape from the country, so he did what he knew how to do. He went over to the apartment they had rented to wait for them. Finding them had been easy for his security team and he was right. They had indeed been planning to run away, because he met the mother and daughter mid step in the compound with their luggages. He had come without many guards, just one team parked close by but still far enough to not alert them of anything suspicious. He did not wan
Gale was beginning to recover. His recovery took days and he hated it. He wanted to be up and about, helping to catch the criminals that dare come against the Milton Conglomerate. He heard from Clint what Cade said about finding the owner of the Nobles Groups of Companies. He wondered how Cade found the man that easily and even arrested him. Gale had figured out from the man's rambling that day that he was the owner of the Nobles' Companies and he had planned to inform Cade of the development by himself and help him, but here he was, stuck in the hospital. Cade could no longer come to visit Gale while he was in the hospital because he got very busy with all the matters at hand but Gale didn’t hold a grudge against Cade. He knew how busy his boss was. Besides, Cade called everyday and insisted on speaking to Gale through video call to see with his own eyes that Gale was alive and recovering. When Gale had finally recovered enough to be discharged, he and Clint began planning their dep
Cade put Derek in the same cell as his family members. Putting them in the same place was strategic. He wanted them to bicker, blame themselves and maybe even try to kill each other. While arguing, they were more likely to spill more secrets about their actions and that would serve as more evidence against them. If they tried to actually kill each other, they would be charged for violence by the officers. But first, he was going to take Barnes to the board room for a meeting before sending the matter to court. He would have Barnes tell the board members why he fabricated a lawsuit so just in case there was any of them who still doubted his innocence, it would be reaffirmed. He knew that some of them were still finding a way to get him out as CEO of the company because they felt he was too young to lead them when they had more age and experience.Cade dismissed Gale and Clint from their duties, giving each a week off from work for their services in finding the owners of the Nobles' Com
Cade took Barnes along to work. Soon, they got to the company. Cade's driver opened the door for the two men and they got down. It was evident in his face, how awestruck Barnes was by the magnificent building that laid out in front of him. So this was the Milton Conglomerate? It looked like the building would come falling on his face when he looked up at the height and expanse of the building. He quickly composed himself, however, to avoid giving Cade the satisfaction of his admiration. He had only seen the building on television, seeing it face to face was intimidating to Barnes because though his father had been a millionaire, he had never enjoyed this level of wealth. He was jealous of Cade’s wealth and felt like Cade owed them for taking him in when he lost his memory. That excuse made him justify all he was doing. Cade on his part had seen Barnes' unhidden surprise before he could even cover it up. This made him swell with pride within himself to see one of the people who had bel
Cade did not want to take matters into his hands, so he called the police. In a matter of minutes, the sounds of sirens coming from the police cars filled the air. Soon they were with Cade. An officer came to talk with Cade while a few others inspected the area. Barnes had still not woken up. Cade stood outside his car with the police officers, one of whom was now interrogating him. "He just brought a gun and shot at the driver before aiming at me. Then I punched him on the head before he could shoot at me, which is why he's passed out now." Cade narrated to the police officer interrogating him. The man looked into the car again for the fifth time. He could see the gun held lightly in the unconscious Barnes' hand. He nodded and wrote something on a note. “I’ve taken out all the bullets. The gun is harmless.” Cade said to the officer as the officer looked at the gun again and the man nodded before speaking."Reggie!" The staunch faced police officer called. Another police officer ans
Cade got a call from the police about the successful operation of finding the Bellwethers. "Mr Milton," the voice began, "we have found the suspects you declared wanted.""Thank you," Cade said and put off the call. He left what he was doing at the moment and went to get ready to be at the police station. Before leaving, Cade called on Gale to oversee the activities going on in the company. Cade got to the police station at the late hours of the morning. He asked to see the Bellwethers and he was given an audience with them individually. He first met with Hailey. "I had to admit, your plan was a good plan." Cade began. He was sitting on a table, his chair opposite hers, in a dark room with just the both of them alone. Hailey had looked at him as she walked in, hate in her eyes. She sat on the seat opposite Cade. "If Barnes succeeded in killing me and you all succeeded in escaping, there would be no one to come after you the way I would have done and by now maybe you all would hav
