Gonzalez's pov

“Finally, it is the weekend,” I said giggling and excited about it. One of the most amazing things about my new job is that I get to have the weekend to myself, this was not the same with all the other places I have worked. I never had free time, no, not since I lost my parents. I worked from dawn to dusk, approximately 15 hours a day, Monday to Sunday with no rest.

I am grateful for Mr. Davies as he seems to be very understanding. He had paid me yesterday and said I had the weekend to myself. I have never been so unbothered about my job or its pay, this was going to be a long run. I would work here for as many months as he wanted me to work until we can get to the root of this. One thing I have learned in life is, good things never last.

Almost immediately, I felt guilty. I have been so excited about the new job that I seem to not have thought about my parents enough or used the extra time to fulfilling the promise I had made to find and avenge their killer.

    Mrs. Williams pov(Throwback)55 years ago, a little girl watched her mom struggle to get on from day to day. Her father died when she was just one, leaving her mother with two kids to raise. Whatever she did, people never saw the hood, no one wanted to marry a “half-woman” as they called single mothers then. Securing even a place to stay was as tiring as birthing a child. “Ma’am, we can’t let a single woman with no husband and two kids stay here. It can bring a lot of trouble, what happened to your husband?” They thought she was one of those loose women out there. Her mother breathed pain, lived in misery, and died unhappily. Even though the world has gotten better than it was then, single mothers are still stigmatized daily. Her daughter doesn’t tell her but she knows, she sees it in her eyes; carrying a bump around with no man to show. This was why she was concerned, she did not want her daughter to experience or live as her mom did. She wanted her to be accepted by society and b

    Gonzalez's povThe lady I met who I would find out later, was Eloise. She had forgotten her phone at the food restaurant we met at, she must have been so overtaken by our discussions to not remember her phone when leaving. I knew I left a good impression on her for I was a boss and master at first impressions. I had been bothered about how to reach her on the phone until a call came in and she told me that she was the one who was trying to look for her phone."It is nice to meet you, again," she said when we met at an agreed location"Yes, again" I agreed to nod. She even looked more beautiful and radiant than I remembered. I was taking my time as I did not want her to see me as desperate or like the other men she must be familiar with.We had taken the time to talk for a few minutes before she said she had work she needed to attend to"I hope I see you again," she said to me beaming with smiles. God, she had the most beautiful smile, not just beautiful but enchanting too."Yes, you w

Here am I, offering her all that information for nothing and the least I expected her to say was, "thank you" not try to question my conscience or something. What was she trying to do? Question my mind? Make me feel guilty? Huh, she was dreaming."Calm down, calm down" were the only words I kept muttering to myself. What was she? A saint? "Bullshit" I cursed under my breath.I had set up a meeting for today with Gonzalez. This was the day I had set to take someone off the list. I checked with the driver to see if he had any family and he did. I would make sure that they were well taken care of. The photojournalist, I will handle her very much later.

At this point, I could see that all that I was saying did not make a shit sense to the boss as he got more furious as I talked. It was like I vexed him all the time that I talked so I decided to shut it and accept my fate because he had given me a look that said "I do not care about what you have to say" look."Why would you betray me, dawg? I have done almost everything for you. What have I not done for you? Give you my life? I gave you a job, I pay you well. God damn it, I even gave you a house.

We are trying to keep this woman off of our backs and you can only suggest that we will tell her husband has been kidnapped?""Yes, and those who kidnapped him are very dangerous people and are after the rest of his family so she has to leave the country.

    Natasha's povGonzalez must have gotten tired of the cold attitude I was giving him these days. Just yesterday, he had said that it was childish of me to continue to hold a grudge over something he said. I do not like the silence too, I miss him, his touch, his hug, I miss everything about him. It is just that every time I remember what he said and how he said it, it still hits me. Each time, it is like it even gets worse. He came to me this morning and said, "I am sorry if my words hurt you, it was not and is not my intention. I would never want to just hurt you, you know that. Sorry for upsetting you, my love" he finished with a smile and was hoping to get one in return too. "I am not upset that you do not agree with me or your choice of words; I am upset that whenever you do disagree with me, your tone is condescending and you minimize my opinion. To disagree is understandable... but to disregard my feelings and act as if my opinion does not matter is unacceptable." I gave in ret

    Anonymous povI could not understand him no matter how I tried. He was very impossible to read or play. As far as I know, he had never had his heart broken before. So, I could not fathom why the walls he had built for himself and the thick skin he had developed, all in a bid to protect himself from love. I only hope he does find love later, I believe that it would change him."At a point, I did not believe in love too. After what happened with you know who, I must have promised myself to avoid love at all costs" I said trying to give him my dose of motivational advice. He scoffs and says "what do you think you are doing, helping me? I do not need it, we have better things to discuss. Who is she by the way?" He asked"Oh, do not worry about that. I am sure you will meet her soon""Whoever it is, is a very lucky woman""And I, a lucky man" we both burst into laughter "I trust you on that. It is very bad to have traitors amongst us. Without such a traitor, we can only think of success

He asked walking in, barely covered and had foam in the greater part of his body, he must have rushed from the bathroom and I burst out laughing. "Is this funny? Do I look funny to you?" He asked and joined in the laughter "What is so important that you had to scream my name like that?" He asked "Your phone has been ringing and I know how much you hate having to miss your calls" I noted "Yes, ma'am. I will check it only when I am done bathing" he answered and walked back to the bathroom The baby had kicked, perhaps in laughter too at his daddy's funny face. I had not told Gonzalez yet, I wanted it to be a surprise. When do I tell me that he would be having a son? Perhaps when I can get the contract, the one thing I desperately needed. "You alright?" He asked when he was done "Yeah, why?" I asked "You look like you are hiding s

    Gonzalez walked away from the courthouse, deep in thought. He couldn't believe that his former partner had betrayed him, but he also couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. As he turned the corner, he saw a familiar face."Hey, Gonzalez," a voice called out.It was the Black Panther. Gonzalez felt a surge of anger and fear, and he took a step back."What do you want?" he asked, his voice low."I just wanted to congratulate you on your victory," the Black Panther said, a sly smile on his face. "You showed Williams, didn't you?"Gonzalez felt his blood boil. He knew that the Black Panther was behind the setup, and he wanted to make him pay."I know what you did," Gonzalez said, his voice shaking with anger. "You set me up, and you tried to ruin my life."The Black Panther chuckled. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said, his smile widening.

    Gonzalez was taken to a small room where he was met by an FBI agent, Special Agent Johnson. The agent placed a folder on the table and opened it. Gonzalez could see several photographs and a transcript of a conversation that he had had with the Black Panther. The agent slid the photographs across the table, and Gonzalez looked at them. He could see himself meeting with the Black Panther in a dark alley, exchanging an envelope. Gonzalez couldn't believe what he was seeing."This is all fabricated," he said, looking at the agent. "I have never met with the Black Panther or taken any bribes from him."The agent stared back at him, his expression unreadable. "We have evidence that says otherwise," he said. "And if you don't cooperate, we'll have to take drastic measures."Gonzalez knew that he had to clear his name, but he didn't know how. He thought about all the people he had put away, all the criminals who would want revenge. Could one of them have set him up?As Gonzalez sat there, th

    (A few days earlier) Gonzalez and Natasha were in shock when they discovered the glitch in the recording. They couldn't believe someone had tampered with the evidence to frame Gonzalez. They quickly reported it to Agent Smith, who informed them that they had already identified the lawyer's assistant as the culprit."The assistant had been bribed by the Black Panther's associates to tamper with the evidence," Agent Smith said. "But don't worry, we've arrested him, and he's already given us information on who else is involved."Gonzalez and Natasha breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew they weren't out of the woods yet."We still need to prove to the court that the evidence is unreliable," Gonzalez said, worriedly."We will," Agent Smith assured him. "We have a team of forensic experts working on it right now. But in the meantime, you need to stay out of the public eye. We can't afford to have any more complications in this case."Gonzalez and Natasha followed Agent Smith's advice a

    Gonzalez and Natasha arrived home, exhausted but relieved. As they stepped inside their apartment, they were greeted by a masked figure sitting in the living room."Greetings, Gonzalez. Natasha," the figure said, standing up and taking off the mask to reveal a familiar face. It was Agent Smith, a high-ranking member of the FBI who had helped Gonzalez in the past."What are you doing here, Smith?" Gonzalez asked, surprised."I'm here to help you," Smith said. "We've been keeping tabs on the Black Panther for a while now, and we know he has connections to some big-time players in the criminal underworld. We want to take them all down, but we need your help."Gonzalez was hesitant. He didn't like working with the FBI, but he knew that they had resources that could help him take down the Black Panther once and for all."What do you need me to do?" he asked."We need you to act as a mole," Smith said. "We want you to get close to the Black Panther and his associates, gather intel, and repo

    Gonzalez breathed a sigh of relief as the Black Panther signaled for his men to bring Natasha out of the car. She stumbled towards Gonzalez, her face bruised and battered, but alive. Gonzalez rushed to her side and embraced her tightly, tears streaming down his face. "You're safe now," he whispered. "I'll never let anything happen to you again." The Black Panther watched the scene with interest, a smug look on his face. "Don't think that this is over, Gonzalez," he said. "I'll be back, and next time, you won't be so lucky." Gonzalez glared at him, his anger boiling over. He wanted nothing more than to punch the Black Panther in the face, but he knew that he had to keep his cool. "We'll be ready for you," he said. "And we won't hesitate to take you down." The Black Panther laughed a cold and sinister sound. "We'll see about that," he said before disappearing into the night.
