Meanwhile, back at the Capital, Dan Morris was working on his laptop when his door flung open, ushering in one of his greatest nemesis, Donald Curry, a federal government official, with Dan's secretary in tow, whose face was crumpled,

“I'm sorry Mr Morris, I tried to stop him"

Dan sighed and waved off the secretary as Donald walked with shoulders high into his office, spotting a smirk.

Dan didn't miss the smirk on the man's face, he heaved a sigh and rested his back on the chair in a casual manner as he greeted the man through subtle gritted teeth,

“Mr Curry. It's a pleasure, what can I do for you?"

Donald, smiling smugly nodded crisply and said,

"Nothing much, just thought I'd stop by and see how things are over here” was his response,

Dan Morris quirked his brow up, he knew for certain that was just a flimsy excuse and that Donald was possibly playing at something else. Still, he nodded and replied in a clipped tone,

He asked, straight to the point as he glared at a smirking Vivienne,Vivienne who was looking quite pleased with herself gave a crisp nod as she replied,“Good to see you too, Mayor Harold, or should I say former?" She quipped slyly causing Harold to clench his fists and glare at her irritably,On the other hand, Vivienne was a picture of calmness, although her eyes held deep amusement.“You're in an official environment, I'll advise that you keep your voice down,” Vivienne said coolly as she raised her head to look at him intently. The sight of Harold made her a little sick to her stomach, but she had to stomach it nonetheless,She couldn't understand how one person could be so vile and be surrounded by equally vile people. Was Harold Delaney so blind and stuck up in his nose and ass that he couldn't see the gem that Richard was, or perhaps

    With hate in her eyes, Cassandra turned to glare at Vivienne who had turned on the light at the sound of the footsteps,“What the hell did you do?!" She asked in a shrill voice, throwing daggers with her eyes at Vivienne who shrugged and smirked,“Just a little going away gift. I know how much the media loves you" she chuckled.Immediately cameras and microphones were placed in front of them as the media began asking question after question,"Mr Delaney, Miss Cassandra, Mr Morris can you all tell us why you're held up here?”"What allegations have been laid against you?" “Has Mayor Richard regained his freedom and demanded your arrest?" The last question infuriated Cassandra and so she stormed her leg, as she glared at them,"That bastard can never be free! A criminal never goes unpunished!” She exclaimed through gritted teeth."Is that so? So why are you locked up in jail?” another person countered, and Cassandra's face darkened. Andrew nudged her into not saying anything, as it c

    But before Richard could say anything to defend himself against the slander, another commotion ensued at the entrance of the prison, Andrew's father, Dan Morris had stormed his arrival with an army of men flanking his sides, the men were fierce-looking and had some of the officers cradling their necks to have a glance, the others mumbling amongst themselves as they gazed at the heavy set men. “Where is my son?!" He thundered, as his eyes darted around the prison walls, his eyes landed on the media that had surrounded the place and finally, on his son who had a small smile at his father's arrival, Dan Morris glared at Harold, “What's going on here?! What have you lot done with my son?" Harold gulped, his cheeks reddening a little, "Huh… Si-sir…" he trailed, unable to string his words together. He had totally forgotten about Dan's incessant calls and messages and hadn't imagined that the man would leave the capital to come look for his son. Harold had been hoping to curb the s

    Dan Morris yelled as he stood right in front of Richard, glaring at him. He had heard of all Richard had done, and though they were a little impressive, it gave him no room to talk in that manner to him, clenching his jaw and fists he stared Richard down,“Is it because you're a lost war hero? Does that give you the right to be rude? You're nothing; you must have been something before now, but at this moment, you're nothing! Got that?!” He challenged Richard as he jutted his chin at him,Richard only stood unfazed, as he stared at the man while he barked. Bending his neck to the side, he smiled,“If you say so. But I'm going to ask you to apologize. Afterall you slapped a woman and our police Chief, it's only right that you apologize" Dan Morris immediately burst into laughter, the corner of his eyes twinkling as he gazed at Richard, the dude sure had audacity, he mused,“Are you such a fool or what? You expect me to apologize to her?” He turned to glower at Vivienne as he jabbed his

    Seeing the dazed expression on the leader's face, Dan Morris immediately interjected before Richsrd could respond,“Don't listen to him! Don't listen to whatever he has to say. He is just a former fighter reliving his glorious days! Show him what you've got!" He commanded authoritatively as he sneered at Richard, who had an impassive look on his face but was also battle-ready.He spared Vivienne a glance, who was biting on her lower lips, Vivienne's face was a little pale and she immediately grasped his arms and whispered,“M-mayor?" she said softly as she glanced at the men from a lowered glance, she did not know what the outcome of the fight would be,Though Richard was fit and could fight, he was clearly outnumbered, and her men, who were shaking like Chickens that had been poured water, didn't look like one who could confront the looming ten.Sensing her fears and apprehensions, Richard smiled and shook his head before patting the hand that was holding tightly unto him, and speaki

    With a shaky voice and a pale face, he gaped at Richard who stood strong with wide shoulders, not a scratch on him, he mumbled in a low voice,“W-what are you? A mercenary? W-who?”He hadn't come across one with such skill or power; he had only heard of one with such skills but had never seen or known him personally. It wasn't possible that this person before him could be that person, was it? He wondered as he gulped, his entire face pale.Sneering at the leader, Vivienne stepped forward as she took the liberty to respond with a smirk,“He's Richard Day, the Mayor of our town" As the name left Vivienne's lips, the leader sputtered, and went paler than before, stumbling as he gaped at Richard,“N-no…no, it can't be” As he gaped at Richard, he couldn't deny that he surely was the one he had heard about. The leader immediately got to his feet and turned to glare at Dan Morris whose brows furrowed,“What have you done?!!" The leader demanded loudly, grabbing at Dan's collar, who began co

    Andrew sighed and ran his hands over his face as he expelled a deep breath,"What if we don't find how to nail this on Richard? What if he's not the one behind this?” Sighing once more, he looked at the duo and shook his head, "I don't even know what to think at this point. This is not what we can deal with under the time frame, or we have to answer for what we know nothing about. I can't carry the cross for another man's crime; it's impossible." Andrew paced around the room, with many thoughts weighing him down in his head.His secretary who had returned into the room after seeing the officials out, smiled softly and cleared her throat,“Excuse me, sir, but we have to find—” She was about to drop off a suggestion that came to her mind, hoping that Andrew would listen to her.

Aiden frowned, staring at Clinton, who was staring out of the window."We'll need to change our plans," Clinton sighed, shaking his head"Why?" Aiden was dumbfounded and he stared at Clinton, wondering what was wrong,"Another unstable factor has gotten into the game, and if we are not careful, we will end up in prison. And this time, there'll be no hope for us to escape," Clinton sighed, the sadness in his voice could be felt."And who's that?"

    "Huh?" Andrew and Cassandra froze hearing Harold's words, not believing their ears,Their first instinct was to say he was lying, but for the fact that they knew Harold, they couldn't voice out their thoughts.Harold observed the expression on their faces and couldn't help but shake his head,These two were naive, they didn't know whom they were fighting against; they had the guts to attack Richard without proper planning,What the hell had they been thinking?"So what are we going to do now?" Andrew suppressed his shock and asked,The sound of the rain falling heavily against the window panes could be heard almost drowning out his voice."I don't know," Harold shrugged,"What?!"

    "Are you really going to help us?" Cassandra's eyes lit up hearing her father's words.Though she had joined hands with someone else who then gave her the idea that she had used, then gave her ways to make evidence without it being doctored, she felt something was missing,The person had said he wanted only Vivienne, though she didn't know what he wanted to do with her; she felt he must have gotten whatever he wanted, or else he wouldn't have gone silent.Since then, she didn't know how to push forward, Andrew was too busy handling his affairs, so she was left to deal with the aftermath."There's nothing I can do, I can't just stay and watch you fail in what you started," Harlod spread his hands shaking his head showing his helplessness,The two hadn't informed him before taking such big plans; now it was obvious they were going down the drain; how could he sit and watch them?"I'll take you there, Dad," Cassandra offered excitedly, standing up from where she was sitting."Alright let

    "This was just too much fun," Aiden laughed, walking back into the house,He couldn't help but imagine Andrew's annoyed expression while he called out his name,This was a very refreshing feeling for Aiden as he was sure the latter wouldn't be able to do anything.What about the police, they wouldn't even be able to search. Also, he instructed his men to appear only for a minute or two, then they should disappear,"Where's the mask?" Clinton's cold voice pulled Aiden out of his thoughts."Yes, I made sure to collect them back," Aiden chuckled, still feeling good,"So what's our next move?" He asked, throwing the bag back at Clinton who was standing just by the dining table,"Let's wait and prepare for the next heist. The police are too confused to start any search right away," Clinton answered, walking about to the chair,"So how are we going to deal with their other group?" Aiden continued with his series of questions."We can't let them off easily, we need to show them we are also

Justin didn't come to conclusions, but first, he asked,"Sir, both are at 10:30 this morning," the officer at the table swallowed, also realizing something was off.There was no way one person would be in t

As for the person who had stolen the money, there were no traces.It was as if the money had vanished into thin air, even the bank had no idea where it was transferred to,Checking the account details, they realized it didn't exist which made them even more helpless."What should I tell these investors?" Andrew muttered still not knowing what to do.After a while, he stopped pacing around and walked towards the door of the financial department,"I don't want a word of what happened today to leave this place," he commanded, his voice devoid of emotions carrying a faint hint of threat within."Yes Sir, we'll make sure to guard this secret with our lives," The workers swallowed all saying the same thing."You better do, else..."
