This man had deeply misunderstood the situation, and it wasn't his fault, but now Louis was under another threat, one that could put his reputation under fire.

“What did you say about your wife?” Louis hastily asked, afraid of the implications of the man's action.

“I said I told my wife to leak information to the press about the CEO behind the fire outbreak,” the man restated

“Oh no!” Louis exclaimed, putting his hands on his head and shaking them slowly in terror.

“Sir, is everything okay?”

“Of course not,” Louis yelled “Nothing is okay,” he continued yelling straight into the phone.

“Sir,” the injured man stuttered out of confusion,” I don't understand; what did I do wrong?”

Louis kept quiet, leaving his question hung in the air as he got preoccupied by unsettling thoughts of trouble.

“Hello,” the man said but it was swallowed by the silence.

He repeated with his voice a little longer but the stillness remained unbroken. A furrow of concern etched on his brow as he called out for

    “I'm Carmen from What's News channel…”“What's happening inside,” “Can he hurry up and crawl out, we've been standing under the sun for…”Those were a tiny number of the thunderous questions and statements she could make out from the tumultuous roar of the packed crowd outside the hospital. She unconsciously tried to recede into the hospital for a breather but she couldn't find the door behind her. The crowd had moved her far away from the door as if they orbited around while the hospital stood at a fixed point.Her heart began pounding as she struggled for her way back into the hospital but couldn't. Louis could see the chaotic multitude drifting Queen in random directions. He instantly called her name and sharply advised her to find her footing and stay fixed there.She quickly did and saw that she stopped tossing in different directions. She summoned up courage and decided to swim through the pool of bodies and find any reporters’ van: that was a convenient spot for interviews an

    “I’m at the entrance of the hospital, looking for a quiet place to park and blend in. I know that woman is sad now but can you quicken up and confirm,” Louis said as the woman kept talking to Queen.“He’s in this hospital right now and he's going to lose his life,” the woman kept weeping aloud,Queen had problems listening and replying to both of them. “He was part of the security guards at Twin Tower that got beaten,” she continued crying.Queen raised a brow at her, not thoroughly surprised that she was the woman they were searching for but relieved. She coughed and brushed her hair to the side, giving her a comforting look.“Look, Your husband is not going to die, he's just a little weak okay,” “How do you know that, I tried seeing him but they wouldn't let me in and then I got a call from him not too long ago, telling me information about a company and his voice,” she stopped to gulp down a spit and continued “His voice sounded like he was withholding a bad news from me,”All th

    “What are they doing here?” Louis muttered, completely ignoring Queen’s inquiry.He reversed to camouflage himself to a group of other cars at a corner.“I'm not supposed to be seeing his face on a normal day, only in tests and games of the competition,” Louis complained aloud, punching his dashboard multiple times.“Master,” Queen beckoned.“Nothing, I just needed to handle something real quick,” “Okay,” She replied, “but what are we going to do about the crowd?“Uh, what about the doctor that said I could pass through their staff door? Try calling him,” “I didn't take his number,” Queen slowly stated, putting her hands on her hair.“Well, that's a bummer. Let me see if I can draw them out,” Louis replied after a short pause.The car Louis drove was a new custom model that he had never used and he was sure that was part of the reason why Chris couldn't recognize his presence. He intended to use it to pave the way for Queen.“I need you to be very fast, can you do it,” Louis asked h

    The clicks continued and it felt to Louis they wanted to snap the full details of his license plate. Prancing around town with this car was going to be a no-go if he could ditch the cars behind him.“One problem at a time, Louis,” Louis yelled out, putting all of his attention on the road. They proved too hard to outrun so he had to outsmart them.He sped through the road as the trio of cars remained hot on his tail; even when he cornered traffic through his precision, they still did not relent.He kept tackling them until suddenly he spotted a pelican crossing ahead. Several children were waiting to cross, accompanied by a vigilant crossing guard. Louis, seeing this, decided to take his opportunity.With a fast sweep of his wheel, he steered into the crossing, moving as fast as his car could take him but screeching to a stop when he passed the crossing guard by a small gap. The crossing guard held up his crossing sign for a stop of all other incoming cars and Louis’ pursuers were bro

    Louis looked at the direction his driver pointed at and let out a loud and long disappointing sigh.“Oh yeah! Almost forgot,” “There are some documents in the pigeonhole. Go and bring them along with my driving license,” Louis ordered.The driver did as commanded and came back quickly with the items.“Here are they sir,” he said, handing them over to him as he waited for Louis to tell him what to do with the car.“As for the car, I'm gonna dash it out to charity,” Louis stated.The driver almost barfed his lunch out of his bowels. He was stunned at his statement.“Sir, this is a custom model, thirty-two million dollars brand new car. You haven't even used it twice,” the driver's words forced its way out after fighting hard to hold it in.“Don't you think I know the types of cars I drive? Besides for a custom car, it wasn't fast enough to my liking. I'm gifting out the car, it's now worthless to me,” Louis claimedThe driver gulped down saliva to stop him from thirsting to own the car

    Louis gazed at him to spill out whatever they noticed, sense or no sense.“So what is it?”Mrs Kimberly said after they stopped talking and stared at them“A pen doesn't write on it,” one of the men stated.Louis furrowed his eyebrows and brought out a pen from his pockets to try writing on the paper but their theory was correct.“Hold on,” Louis muttered as he opened his pen to check if the ink had finished. He wrote on another paper, but the results he got were the same thing.“So why the hell would they fill it on the floor if I can't even write on it,” Mrs Kimberly asserted “This is very weird,” one of them added Louis took another paper, turned it upside down, and moved it closer to a light bulb. He turned his neck at them and faced the paper before smiling back knowingly at them.“I think I know what's going on here” Louis nodded with a wink “Can I get anything that generates heat,” Louis said They looked at each other, then around the room with blank expressions.“A laser pen

    They gaped at him to explain what he meant by that. “Why am I getting that look, is something wrong?” Louis questioned “What do you mean by more?” One of them from the trio group askedLouis came closer for them to be able to see and he continued reading.“This challenge can be tackled with others or individually, whichever you see best but points remain the same for everybody; An individual cannot get a higher point if he says his effort was applied the most,” As they gathered around, they thought of what they were going to do. Who had any contact they could reach out to? Or how they would use their time effectively.Although Louis was hesitant to work with them, he gave in to their pleas and reasons for why they would be faster if they band together. His agreement with them materialized into words when a group of two men walked into the room with a copy of the paper.They became quiet and came out of the room. The pressure worsened when they learned that the first five to submit

    “This is the CEO of Twin Tower speaking to you,” Louis said in a voice imitating a whisper“And what can I do for you, sir,” The rough and haughty voice suddenly changed into a calm, respectful tone.“I ordered a lot of panels from an off-state company, and they are still yet to be granted passage,” said Louis.”What is happening?”The executive officer began stuttering and nervously tapping his table.“Oh, sir, my apologies. I didn't know you were the one who ordered them. We actually flagged them down for identification and statement of usage. If I knew you were the one, I would have released it a long time,”Louis heaved at the man and peeped at his colleagues, making worried movements as they spoke to each other.“I was the one who ordered but under a different name. It is for a surprise installment and I don't want any nosy fly to discover,” Louis said. “Okay, sir, I'll release them to continue their supply to you, but,” the man stopped talking like he was afraid to utter the ne

    “I thought so,” Louis said “I don't really know anything about your company, care to enlighten me?” “With all pleasure sir,” he said and proceeded to explain to him the needed information. The man had not been involved in any public controversy since his come up and he wasn't a fresh recruit in the game. He was among the survivors of the heavy tests who made it out with a lot of hits on the face and a low score. He explained that he was in need of a successful collaboration or a deal, one that would boost him to a good spot in the rank.“I might sound desperate but that is what I actually want right now,” he revealed “If I score very low again or submit a lacklustre result then I fear I may be eliminated,”“Hmm,” Louis sighed as he listened to his plea “But you have never failed any test, so why are you afraid of being eliminated,” he asked“I was unaware of a rule in the competition until yesterday,” the man replied.Louis' ear stood awake, his eyes bulging as his brows raised upw

    “I don't understand, what's wrong?” the man asked “Are you angry at me because my company exploded?”Louis snarled at him and receded his steps again, causing the man to confuse Louis’ gesture as fright. He knuckled his fist like he was about to take advantage of the misread fear.“You don't have the right to judge me because we have different principles,”“Principles,” Louis fired back “this has nothing to do with principles, and I shouldn't give my reasons to anybody If I feel like not working with them,”The man hissed and scanned Louis from head to toe “Maybe, the scores you have in the competition must have been gassing your head up. Do you think you can survive this round without collaborating?” the man asked, growling like he was about to pounce on Louis.Since the man confused Louis who was trying to be the bigger person in the situation, for a frightened kid, Louis did not take any step away from him, he saw the energy he was given and wanted to perfectly match it. He smiled

    He marched in to start his new found goal.The chattering of the hall was unexplainable. He could hear the noises of the contestants but the hall stayed silent. It was like the people talked with no sounds from their mouth.He looked around, scanning for where he would perch to access his target. They had to be potential bosses with a familiar look on their faces. A middle class company or even a bigger one would be the perfect fit to ask.As he was watching, he got distracted by two random men who engaged in a heated argument of who brought an idea first. To Louis, they wanted to heat up the argument to catch others' attention but sincerely, if you weren't Chris or a big company owner, then nobody would give a shit about what was going on with you.It went on and on until one of them decided to back down. Their scuffle was not enough to buy the attention of their fellow competitors. Louis laughed lightly at their childish display, knowing they were wrong at announcing their plans to

    It left Louis thinking he had struck a nerve in him or snapped him back to his old self. Either way, Louis was not comfortable with the expression Greg had on his face. He coughed lightly and looked at the floor.“What is there to play safe?” Greg replied, his tone deep and authoritative “I already won the case and his company is already in the lurch.”“No, what I meant to say is, are you ready to put yourself in another scandal?” He glanced at the door and tilted his neck back to him “A cheating scandal with another CEO is pretty controversial,”“The public is not going to tell me what to do. I will do whatever makes me happy and I'll answer to no one,” Greg declared.Louis' face twitched, a testament that he was not in support with his statement. He swallowed his saliva and ruffled his hair.“I have no business with whatever you want, but I don't like the idea of using our alliance as a means to get closer to her,”“It goes against everything I planned for this to be. You will defin

    Louis' eyes almost bulged out of his eye sockets, his hands tweaked In disgust as his feet vibrated to move away from his position. “Nobody told me Greg was this insensible,” Louis muttered to himself. He couldn't believe the words that just slipped out of his mouth; they were shards of glasses that were waiting to be stepped upon.“Greg,” Louis called out confidently “Please, I want you to understand that I am not forcing anybody to work with me,” he stared intently at him.“What I simply said is, as a new team I thought we would do the collaboration between ourselves. You know, to avoid indecision and make it easier for us as a team,”His words were like darts that launched straight into the scoreboard. It corrected Greg's notion but it wasn't sharp enough to make him utter an apology.“Okay, I've noted it,” Greg uttered, prompting more response from Louis.“This isn't what you should be knowing now, we are supposed to grasp this already,” Silence filled their atmosphere as shame

    “I'm guessing you are the third person of this group,” Mrs Kimberly continued “I am whatever you want me to be in this group. The second man, the third member,” Greg leaned close to her ears, but fixing his eyes on Louis “I can even be the master of this team,”She chuckled lightly, flashing her eyes at Louis “Can you call me when it's time for the ultimate showdown,”They kept laughing; Mrs Kimberly appeared to be having a good time with Greg while Greg enjoyed being close to her. Louis got tired of seeing them whisper words to each other. He furrowed his eyebrows and pretended to cough while pointing at the empty seats.“Kimberly, welcome.” Louis voiced “It's good to see you. I don't want to keep you both standing, so can we take a seat,”She exchanged glances at Greg and Louis before walking towards one of the chairs. Greg appeared to be displeased by Louis who sat between them. He signalled to Louis to scoot over to the left chair but the purpose of Louis forming the alliance was

    “So when can I get to meet my fellow ally,” she winked at him.“We will be having a meeting tomorrow. I don't know if you'd be available, but it is our first meeting, and it is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10 am."Mrs Kimberly's eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded slowly. "I'll be there," she said. "Where are we going to have it?"Louis smiled confidently at her. "I have booked a room at the Drickons Hotel just a few blocks away.”Mrs Kimberly nodded. Her mind raced with the thoughts of who the last person was, but she stopped herself from asking Louis. Instead, she resolved to wait for an official introduction.Moreover, she already decided to look her best when the day comes."I will make sure I arrive before any of you,” she quipped, but her voice lingered with a hint of determination.Louis finished his conversation with her and waited for Mrs Kimberly to ask him any questions that bothered her but she had none for the moment.It was time Louis took his leave after comp

    “No, trust me. It is not because of that,” he revealed “Then what? I told you I would like to join, so why are you rejecting me?”“I'm not rejecting you. I just don't want to force you into anything,”“How is that forcing me? Did you plan to hold a gun against my head?” She asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.Kimberly, with a blur of desperation in her eyes, leaned forward to Louis “I know you must have heard everything that came out of my mouth, but I am willing to make my first try with you,”He raised a brow at her, skeptical of her forced statement “Why would you do that? I told you already, you don't have to because I'm not forcing you,”Mrs Kimberly inhaled deeply and raised her shoulders “I have seen the huge things you can do as a CEO of a little company like yours. How you raised it to compete at this level, and I can boldly ask you how many of your peers can claim to reach the success you have in such a short time,”“You helped me get my treasured buildings back from th

    “She came begging me to collaborate with her,” Mrs Kimberly revealed “Just imagine the imp’s audacity,”Louis couldn't bring himself to tell her that he was here for the same reason. He could not believe that the person whom he had spent hours finding reasons not to add to his alliance hated them. And now it seems Louis needed her to control Greg's mouth.“What human being in their right mind would beg someone they tried to attack in the past? I could have smacked her teeth out but was busy pretending to be cool with her,”Mrs Kimberly rolled her eyes and pointed to the middle of the hall“There's more?” Louis asked, surprised at her decline. She hated alliances with all her bones in her body and she made sure to show Louis.“That man in a white suit,” she said.”Forget about his angelic act. That man is a demon and a lapdog to Chris,” She walked closer to Louis like she was about to whisper, “He came to me and pleaded I work with him, but I declined. I hope he fails this round of the
