What reasons could Michael possibly have to lie to his girlfriend that he was home all this while?

“Make a call to the house again, let the guards search for him everywhere including the garden, swimming pool and even his bathroom if necessary,” Mr Winchester Instructed and his emissary excused himself to make the call.

Turning to Emily “keep on trying his number, let’s see if it eventually connects”.

Mr Winchester sighed heavily as he leaned against his car tapping the tip of his shoe against the floor in restlessness. In that moment, if he could summon a genie and make one final wish, it would be for his son to be at home as the text message had claimed.

But he was met with a disappointment when Mr Charles reported “no sir, he’s not at home” shaking his head in negation.

He turned towards Emily hoping she had better news but her expressions said it all; his line was still not connecting.

Mr Winchester was devastated taking a next step seemed impossible, uncertain of what and where

    Even the young officers could not believe the speed of Mr Winchester, before they could catch up with the billionaire he was almost hopping into his car.“You should calm down sir,” Mr Charles said as he grabbed his boss by the abdomen pulling him from behind to prevent him from tossing into the car.“Let go of me Charles, my son is in danger and I need to go safe him,” Mr Winchester retorted as he struggled loose from his emissary’s grip.The officers and Emily caught up just in time to intercept them. They swiftly closed the partially open door he was attempting to enter.“Keep calm, Mr Winchester, this is the police work. Allow us to do our work,” the inspector said as he stepped between the car and the billionaire.“The police? My son clearly mentioned that I should go and safe him. He did not mention the police,” Mr Winchester retorted.“But you brought the case to us, the matter is now in the hands of the police. We will take it over from here, that is our job” the inspector add

    “Relax, I did not do anything to you at least not yet,” Mercy responded with a sly chuckle.But it did not add up, why would she go through the stress of disguising as a nurse to sneak past the Winchester security outside the hospital room just to come in and do nothing?“Then why were you here? And who are you?” the billionaire asked again.“Like I earlier said; am Miss Mercy Adams and I was there to switch the television on for you guys”.It did not make any sense “you mean you took all this risk just to switch on the television?” Mr Winchester asked with so much disbelief.“Exactly. I wanted you to see how the explosion occurred, you were down. Now tell me Mr Winchester, after watching the footages, how will you rate my videography?” Miss Mercy asked mischievously.The men clearly understood what she was talking about but they wanted a confirmation “does that mean you were the one that made the video and sent to the media?”“It was my pleasure,” she replied with a sly chuckle.Judg

She was not all that smart, she left her surname with us maybe we can capitalize on that and get some information about whom she might be.“Yes you are right Charles, make a call to the central intelligence and ask the director to help us find out who she might be. Let them make a search and get back to us as soon as possible,” Mr Winchester instructed and his emissary removed his phone and quickly dialed a contact.It was MrChristian, the director of Central intelligence. He considered Mr Winchester as his father; he had been benevolent towards him including sponsoring him through school and enlis

    Mr Winchester dropped to his knees as the call ended and screamed like a raccoon. “What are you doing sir, please get up,” his emissary said as he tried to lift him to his feet.“She is right Charles, it is all my fault I am to be blamed for everything,” Mr Winchester said as he wept enormously. It was not the first time Mr Charles had seen his boss shed tears but it was the first time he did it miserably.“What are you saying sir, it is not your fault and everybody knows it”.“You of all people should know it is my fault. If I never went to the police station yesterday, the inspector and his men would still be alive. Only if I did not try to get Mrs McCoy out of here she would also be alive.Tell me Charles, am I not rather selfish; only because I want to save my son and his mother I have terminated seven innocent lives.

The reporter asked a man dressed in back suit.The interviewee smiled as he responds “Mr Winchester is an intelligent man that did everything possible to become wealthy but his karma have just caught up with him”.Mr Winchester frowned as the man responded, he wondered what the interviewee meant by that.“You said karma just caught up with him, right?

    How could it have happened? Even with the presence of enormous security guards around them, the sniper managed to locate them without being detected. This was an indication his security was not capable of standing between him and Miss Adams; she could kill him anytime she wanted Mr Charles was almost wetting his pants at the realization of the red light on his chest. What baffled them the most was how Miss Adams was able to pull that up without their trained security noticing the target light on them.“Now tell me Mr Winchester, would you rather hop into the car like I instructed or watch me put a hole deep inside the heart of that emissary of yours, so that you’ll live the remainder of your life in regret?” Miss Adams asked slowly.Mr Winchester would not be able to forgive himself if anything were to happen to his emissary because of his stubbornness.He gulped so hard as he finally gave in “fine, we will enter the car,” he declared weakly.“Good, now dismiss your guards immediatel

    Mr Charles sat in the living room with a bandaged arm, watching the news alongside the Winchesters. The atmosphere in the room was filled with the aroma of relief and excitement. It was just few hours after the incidence at Arturo’s underground lair and their faces were all over the news. Michael made a chuckle as he switched from one news channel to another, their faces on any channel he switched to; the whole world was talking about them.This was not the first time he had appeared on the news but this was the first time he had received so much praised.“This ingrate! I hope he rots behind bars,” Mr Winchester said as the anchorwoman confirmed the arrest of the Chief Justice of the Federation.He was merely one out of the 250 EVA members, which included mostly government officials and other prominent persons in the country that were being arrested at the moment.The whole country was in uproar when the vice president himself was dragged out of the government house in handcuffs by M

    Arturo Is Arrested

    Michael stood shivering his bones out with blood spilled all over his face and the gun he once pointed against somebody’s head now pointed in the air.To their greatest dismay it was Mr Jones that was shot by Arturo’s men. “Yo-you shot your own man?” Mr Winchester asked in disbelief. He could have instructed them to shoot Michael instead if he wanted, but he chose to order for his own man’s execution. “Yes I did, I was going to kill him anyways. His life ended the moment he let my sister to be killed by you and your men. I did not just expect his death to be this quick, your son false my hand,” Arturo responded coldly.There was no need for the gun in Michael’s hand anymore; his hopes of using the gun to escape died with Mr Jones. Now he must again face what was before him, so he dropped the gun to the ground slowly.“Did you possibly think, I will allow a single man step between me and getting my revenge on you? You underestimated my course, Gareth Winchester!”“When have you becom

    The men reacted differently following the disclosure; Mr Charles and Michael’s jaws dropped and their throats went dry in fear. They could only wish the ground should open up and swallow them. They were startled not because they were standing face to face with the man who led EVA and controlled the whole government officials low-key, but the fact that their security men killed his sister and he was probably there to get his revenge on them.But Mr Winchester was kind of excited rather than shocked like the others were. “Arturo! Is it really you? Oh my God! Look at you! I should have recognized you earlier, you’ve grown to be a carbon copy of your dad. Come on, give me a hug man,” Mr Winchester said ignorantly as he opened his arms towards Arturo only to be pushed away.He was so caught up in the realization that the man was the immediate younger brother to his childhood friend Vincent, that he forgot the man he tried to hug was the one behind all the terrible things happening in their

    It was of no use struggling, the men overpowered them and covered their faces so that they did not see where they were been taken.Though the car drove on for only forty minutes, to them it felt like forever. Who wouldn’t feel that way when being taken to the unknown by thugs with your face covered.The car finally halted and the men dragged them out as Mr Charles continued to throw empty threats like he had been doing for the past forty minutes. “You morons! Get your dirty hands of me. Harm a hair on Michael and I promise you will never see the lights of day again”. But it fell on deaf ears, the men continued pushing and dragging them where they wanted to without uttering a word.Finally the thugs stopped, they thought they had arrived the location the thugs were supposed to take them. Suddenly, an electronic beep echoed and they could feel the room descending; they were actually in an elevator.It took several minutes before the elevator reached the ground floor.

    They could not even consider the possibility of Mrs McCoy lying to them about the identity; the Winchester slayer had proved to be wealthy and Influential like they were told about Arturo Adams.Michael was deeply pondered, not for the fact that his dad was a hostage to a drug baron who controls the government but what he might do to him considering the fact that his sister was killed by their security.“What do we do now?” Michael asked his father’s emissary whose legs were already shaking like he had just seen a ghost, anxiety painted all over his face.“Come on Michael, can’t you see the man is almost wetting his pants? The mention of Arturo’s name has taken away his ability to even reason. But let me help you and answer the question for him; the only thing you can do now is return home, pray and hope he doesn’t kill your dad today, but for sure he will definitely kill him not even the almighty could prevent it,” Mrs McCoy said coldly as a wicked smile invaded her face.Mrs clinch

    “Do you by any chance happen to know who this Winchester slayer is?” The inspector asked curiously.“No inspector, the Winchester slayer’s real identity still remains a myth to us. But we have come to learn he is not just rich but very influential as well; even the government officials are answerable to him,” Mr Charles said dejectedly.“There are billions of places where he could be holding Mr Winchester. Without knowing who he is, it’s almost impossible to find your boss. Do you at all happens to have any clue of how we might find him?” The inspector asked intriguingly but Mr Charles shook his head slowly.“I think I might know someone who might have a clue of who he is,” Michael said setting the men on their toes. “Mrs McCoy, am sure she knows who this Winchester slayer is,” Michael added.“I will send my men to bring her in for questioning, right now. Don’t worry she will definitely give us the information; even if it requires beating the hell out of her till she vomits it”.“No i

Okay fine, Mr Charles please display the video before us,” Michael instructed and Mr Charles also made a sly chuckle as he connects the projector to the laptop.Within a minute Mr Charles was already done setting up all the necessary things and the video displayed before everyone in the boardroom.They all watched with their jaws dropped as Mr Raphael’s ex-wife was sobbing while putting her luggage in the trunk of her car before she drove off.

You should be smarter than this; why didn’t you phone me directly to confirm whether I was truly the one that sent them?Even if they are real police officers like they said, why would you let them arrest your boss without an arrest warrant?” the inspector asked almost like a scold.It is funny how the tables turned for Mr Charles; just few minutes ago he was accusing and threatening the inspector for sending police officers to have his boss arrested. But at the moment he felt nothing but guilt and anxiety for the fear that he might had handed his boss into the hands of fake cops.“Come on, inspector you can’t be that certain they were not real police officers,” Michael asked with a false chuckle as he tried to keep the hopes of his father being in the hands of real police officers alive.“Beat it Michael!

For the last time inspector, where is Mr Winchester,” Mr Charles said furiously hitting his hand hard against the desk, making the inspector’s coffee cup rattle.“Get over yourself Mr Charles, you are overreacting. If your boss was truly arrested, then I promise you the police men are not from my station,” the inspector dismissed.“Wow! Impressive I must be mistaking then. What do you take me for, inspector?
