Alarick, Maurice and some other officers converged at the warehouse he just bought. Maurice watched Alarick as he stepped down from the cab car with some papers in his hands. He couldn't come with his expensive one and a bunch of gaurds to East Harlem. That would cause a lot of trouble since they were planning on keeping a low profile. They all had to dress like civilians but Alarick insisted on wearing his suit."Why are we here?" Maurice questioned.Alarick handed the papers to Maurice who took a look at them. It was the permits for the warehouse."I bought it like I said I would." Maurice gave him a questioning look. It wasn't unheard of that he would buy it but he was surprised that it happened so soon. The man had some serious connections. "How did you even get this place on such short notice?" Alarick shrugged and smirked."I'm Alarick King. I can make anything happen if I want it to."Maurice rolled his eyes. They turned to the door and saw that it was padlocked. Maurice sho
Micah was at an art function downtown since he was invited to be the special guest. He stepped in smiling while people complimented his clothes and style. He basked in the fact that this would be his new normal soon. When Cillian and Alarick were out of his way, when he got the company, everything would fall into place. He was genuinely happy but it didn’t last as long as he thought it would.Four armed officers entered the venue searching for their culprit. They spotted Micah as he spoke to some very influential people. They didn’t regard it as they walked up to the group and spoke to Micah.“Micah King, could you follow us down to the station to answer some questions?”Micah glanced at the men annoyed. At this point people had already started to notice the officers standing close to him. The people he was with had already started to give him looks.“For what reason? Can’t you see I’m currently busy? If you want to ask me some questions, I suggest you make an appointment. My assistan
It was night by the time Alarick headed over to the hospital. Once he got there he went straight to his father's room. Cillian stood in the corner of the room looking at the moon outside the window. He could stand now without needing any help or feeling much pain. The cold night air blew his hair and he wrapped the blanket around himself tightly. Alarick walked over to him and reached to close the windows. Cillian swatted his hands away. Alarick laughed."If you're cold I could close the window. How are you feeling today?"Cillian scrunched his shoulders and turned back. A chuckle escaped his lips. He didn't want to go to bed just yet. "I'm not that cold and I'm feeling better today. I almost thought I would forget how to walk from being on that bed too much."Alarick gave a half hearted smile then stared at the ground. Cillian noticed this and asked him a question."What's wrong Alarick?"Alarick looked up. "Nothing's wrong. We've arrested Micah and have some concrete evidence aga
Once Alarick was satisfied with the way the trap was going to work, he headed back to the office. He had an appointment with one of the most wealthy men in the city , Derek Mason. Not as wealthy and powerful as he was but close enough. Alarick stepped into the lobby. He saw Vivian tapping her feet on the tiled floor and frowning while she looked at the MacBook in her hands. He checked his watch, 2:02pm. He winced. He was late.Vivian looked up from her MacBook and saw Alarick. She frowned but concealed it. Alarick walked up to her and then they both walked over to the elevator."Sir, you're late."Alarick scratched his head."I know Vivian. Is he here?"Vivian shook her head."Yes, he isn't happy though. He's been throwing a little fit."Alarick sighed. Although Derek was an innovative man and a mentor to a lot of businessmen, he acted like a child and was a stickler for time. If anything didn't go his way he would have a tantrum. Vivian gave Alarick a warning look for him to be cau
Alarick froze for a while once he heard the gunshot. Although he was slightly trained to shoot a gun in the case of self-defense, he wasn’t prepared for a gun fight. He wasn’t expecting Maurice to shoot one of them but Maurice did so to save Alejandro because he was our witness. He was dragged out of his thoughts when Maurice pulled him down and screamed in his ear.“Get down!”Immediately gunshots rang out and bullets started to fly around. Maurice clicked his radio and shouted into it.“Suspects are shooting at us. Return fire only to incapacitate. I repeat, return fire but don’t kill Fernandez and Micah.”Soon after, matching gunshots rang out from their own side of the battle. Maurice and the other men around Alarick stood up to shoot at the men. Alarick was about to join them when a scream rang out. Someone had been shot. Alarick knelt down but before he could enact what was in his mind, Maurice bent down to his level.“Don’t even think about it. Stay low. We’ll deal with it.”
A few days later Micah, Fernandez and the rest of their men were held on various charges and arraigned. A court hearing was held to see if they would be granted bail but they were denied. A court date was then set for their trial. The trial of Micah, Fernandez and Alejandro would hold in the same day consecutively with Micah going first.Once the news of the trial was leaked to the public there was a huge uproar. Everyone wanted to know the personal details of this case. Why was a member of one of the most powerful families in the world being taken to court by his brother and his nephew?The opportunity to get the internet breaking story was too enticing for the press, so on the day of the trial they all gathered around the court blocking of some of the bystanders that also came to witness the trial. The trial was considered a closed one but due to the Kings high standing, some of the press were allowed inside.Cillian and Alarick’s car pulled up to the court. The press took pictures
The mystery woman was allowed into the mansion. She was greeted by both Alarick and his father. She had on black jeans and a black biker jacket. Her shoulder length dirty blonde locks framed her porcelain face immaculately. She was very beautiful. Cillian squinted at her. For some reason she looked very familiar. She held out her hand for a handshake.“Nice to finally meet you.”Alarick took her hand and replied.“I could say the same thing. Who are you?”The woman paused and sighed.“My name is Grace. Grace King.”Cillian’s eyes widened. He knew why she looked familiar. She was Micah’s estranged daughter. He walked over to her and embraced her in a warm hug while Alarick stood there stumped.“Gracey, I haven’t seen you since you were much younger. How have you been? You've changed so much. And your hair is blonde now, you dyed it.”Grace giggled.“I know uncle Cillian, I needed a change. It’s been years. I’ve been really good. You haven’t been so good based on what’s happened to you
The next day was a weekend so Alarick stayed in. It was 7:00am in the morning. He sat at the dining table sipping his coffee and going through the latest business articles online. Even if this was one of his work free days he still had to keep up with the market.As he dropped his coffee mug on the table, the doors to the dining room were opened by a hungover Grace. Her hair was disheveled and her tank top slid off her shoulders. She yawned and shuffled inside the dining room.Alarick looked at her in amusement. He watched her move all the way to the seat beside him before she plopped down and groaned. Her head was resting on the dining table."Ugh! Why is it so bright?"A chuckle left Alarick's lips. He closed his MacBook and set it down on the table to focus on the frustrated woman beside him."You drank a little too much last night. You were out cold till now. You didn't tell me you were a lightweight."Grace grumbled."I'm not. You just gave me too much alcohol."Alarick raised h
