Derek poured out the smoke in his mouth with bitter pain evidence on his face. Sophia, Alex and Richard all bowed their heads as he unleashed his anger.“So… you all wanna tell me you had no idea Byron was Miller Guidotti?!” He barked breathlessly. What a nice way to be surprised. He laughed out loud at the thought of being fooled by a person like Byron.He had always thought there was more to Miller Guidotti for not always showing up even on important meetings, aside from the fact that he prefers being emailed than receiving a call. Though whenever he calls, Miller Guidotti's voice was far different from the Byron's voice he was used to. He believed Byron must have used a settings on his phone to fool him with a different voice.‘Smart.’ He thought with a frown.Sophia and the rest shook their heads in fear. “Personally, I had no idea at all. I promise, Derek.” “None of us were aware.”“I would have been the first to let you know if I was, Derek.”“I swear! He looked nothing like B
“How much are we talking about here? A thousand? Million?” Franklin asked with a smile. It's going to take more than just mere pennies for him to work for the enemy even if he was no longer working for Derek.“A million dollars and more. But we have to meet up.” Franklin shook his head, “I need something from you. I'd be using that to do whatever job it is you want to carry out.”“Which is?” Byron asked.“The tape from Mrs Beatrice and also, one of the cards you took from the vault.” Franklin explained.“What do you need Beatrice's tape for?” Byron raised a suspicious brow.Franklin shrugged, “It's not useful to you. And I'd love to make some cash with it.” He explained, building Byron's interest even more.“We have a deal then.” Byron smirked, “There's a white statue of the Greek god in Crescent Park, I need you there in an hour.” Byron explained, “Do you have a brown suit?”“Yes.”“Wear it and a red tie. That way, we'd know who you are once we arrived.” Without waiting for a respon
The three men paused as they watched Franklin disappear into the lake. “They wanna drown the mic on him, just in case.” One of them said with a frown. In a few minutes, Franklin was out, walking on the other side of the lake, his clothes soaking wet. He felt disgusted walking with wet hair and clothes. “Hey, Mr. This is for you.” He heard a voice behind him then he turned and saw a little kid handing him something. He didn't care to see what it was, he quickly waved his hands at the kid, “Listen kid, go meet your Mama, I'm not interested.” He said harshly. “I'm not selling the phone. Some dude gave me 30 bucks to give this to the first wet guy I see.” As the kid explained, the phone started ringing, “Here.” The kid said once more then Franklin reached for it. As he placed the call close to his ear, the kid ran off. “You see the building in front of you?” Sucre said as soon as the call connected. “Yes, I see it.” “Go inside.” Sucre said. Franklin frowned, his palm form
“Shit!” Sucre dropped the call and immediately ran out of the building.Byron didn't take his phone, so they don't track it and now? He was over 40 minutes away from him! How would he get to him in time?He kept bumping into people but didn't stop running towards the building where Byron was.`Franklin walked close to Byron, reaching to collect it from his hands, “We should hurry. It's only a matter of time till Derek finds out we are in the same building together.” Byron moved his hands away, not allowing Franklin touch the tape or the card in his possession. “Who needs the tape? And where are you taking it to?” Franklin smiled, “Well I'm going to make sure the tape gets in the right hands, so…”“Whose?” Byron cut him short.Franklin swallowed hard, “A friend.” Byron cock a brow, “What kind of friend?” “He is an influential and powerful person. Does that answer your question?” “I need you for a job. This tape holds a lot that might break my sister.” Byron said calmly, “And if y
A splash of water on Sara's face woke her up immediately. “Ah…” She exclaimed as the cold water splashed on her face for the second time.“Wake the fuck up, bitch! You’ve been sleeping like a pregnant cow!” Sara yelled the roar of a man. She slowly opened her eyes, scanning the room. Her heart pounded in her chest. She wasn't fully conscious of where she was until her blurry vision turned bright. Then she realized she wasn't in the warehouse.A white man walked and sat in front of her with a smirk on his face.“Hmmm.” She tried to scream or probably run but then, she was tied to the chair she sat on and her mouth was covered with a piece of clothing.“Shhh. You're going nowhere.” The man smirked sensing she was trying to free herself from the ropes he tied around her legs and hand.“There's one thing about me that will make a great deal to you; is that I am reasonable.” The man stated, “If you tell me what you know, you get to go. And if all this is done, we could get to grab a piec
“....We set a time. I'd be meeting up with Franklin Rock himself in two hours from now.” Byron explained to Lincoln and the rest.“How did you know that guy wasn't the real Franklin Rock?” Tbaj asked.“Yeah…. I thought he was accurate.” Lincoln added.Byron sighs, “He was nervous when he walked into the room.” He said, “I already suspected when he asked for Beatrice's tape. I knew something was off when he made that request. But what convinced me more was when he said he was an asthmatic patient.”“Could he be lying about that?” Tbaj asked.Byron nodded, “He called a random name as what he used in his inhaler. He isn't asthmatic. He was sent by Derek.” “How did Derek know we'd be contacting his former employee?” Sucre shrugged.“No idea, but Derek would always try to be one step ahead of us but we are smarter for him not to know our next step.” “That's the spirit.” Byron smiled and stood to walk away.“Where are you going, meh?” Lincoln and Tbaj asked almost at the same time.“To Sa
“It's almost 5pm, it's going to be dark soon, don't tell me to relax, Sucre.” Byron warned, walking back and forth in the warehouse.“I know you're worried, in fact, we all are. She's our little doctor here. But hey… do you think it's enough reason to reschedule your meeting with Franklin Rock?” Lincoln asked. “Why not calm down and wait for an update from your men, I'm sure they'd find her if indeed she's missing.”“He is right, Byron. Who knows, we could wake up to find out Franklin is dead just like Beatrice, and then what?” Tbaj said truthfully.“Listen I don't know about you but I'm tired of walking without being cautious of a stray bullet or an attack.” Tbaj added.“Fuck you all!” Byron grabbed his jacket and stormed out of the warehouse in anger. He got into his car and zoomed off to the location he was meant to meet up with Mr. Rock. By the time he's done with the man, Sara better be back home or his men better have good news on her whereabouts before this was no longer funny
It was 8;45 in the night, and already dark. Sucre, Byron and the rest had split up to look for Sara.Byron's men had no positive updates, no way to track her as her phone was switched off. And Byron didn't settle for ‘By tomorrow’ Something was off, and he had a huge hunch that it had something to do with Derek. He placed his hoodie on and glasses as he car stopped at Derek's neighborhood. He got down from his car, and carefully walked over to Derek's gate. He hid himself not too far as he scanned the tall building in front of him.He wasn't with the rest, so no one could stop him from going into that mansion and pulling Sara out of his stomach or wherever it was he kept her.Just then, he saw Derek's car driving out of his gate. He caught a glimpse of the people inside the car and he was able to see Derek inside.“Where is he going?” Byron muttered as he watched Derek's car drive further away from his gate.He contemplated if he should tail his car or go into his house to go get
“Yes boss.” They replied and claimed in the truck, cutting the rope in his legs, causing Derek to fall on the floor. “Hmmm.” Derek groaned as his head landed on the floor. His body aching from the burns he had gotten due to the fire. He couldn't open his eyes as his eyes lid was closed, and squeezed together. He forced it and tried to see how badly burnt he was but he couldn't. He couldn't barely hear a thing to say the least…. He needed water but he couldn't talk. The heat he was feeling was unbearable. Suddenly, he felt his body being dragged on the floor. “What are you trying to do to him?!” Sophia yelled as Byron's men dragged Derek to the river side. “Shut up and watch!” Byron frowned at her. The river wasn't far from where they stood so they all turned and watched as Derek was dumb at the edge of the river. “What the fuck?!” “Christ! Jeez…. Oh my God!” Woah! Byron heard the three of them screaming as a crocodile jumped out of the water and dragged Derek's body into it.
“Raise your hands, you Moron!” Marcus, one of Byron's men, ordered Derek while Byron sat, crossing his legs with a smile as he watched Marcus and the rest do their job.“What are they going to do to me?” Derek barked, struggling to free himself from this white guy's grip.“It's a surprise!” Byron mocked.Marcus and four of his colleagues pulled out the rope before tying the end of the rope around Derek's both legs like a goat that's about to be slaughtered.“What the fuck is this, Byron?! Stop them!!!” Derek thundered as the smug look on Byron's face only irritated him.“I have your cousin! You kill or hurt me? You do the same to him!! I gave my men an order! If in 20 minutes they don't see me, they put a bullet in his skull!” Derek screams on top of his lungs.“It's funny how you think you still have up to 20 minutes to live!” Byron laughed as he watched his men tie the other end of the rope at the huge truck beside Derek.“Fuck!” Derek yelled as his head it hit the ground then Marcu
The black dude with Sophia walked over to them, then Sophia pointed at Byron, “Hey the cards from him!” She commanded the man who ran past her, intending to grab Byron but then, the place exploded, causing his body to scatter all over, his flesh dropping on the floor.Though the bomb wasn’t designed to cause that much explosion, it was meant to kill just a person who gets close to the string! Sophia, who covered her ears due to the loud noise, felt something trickle down her face. She raised her hand to touch her face.“Christ!” She screams. The black dude's blood scattered all over her face.Meanwhile, Sucre was at the Jeep where Sara was, trying to untie her.“Where is Byron? Where is he?” Sara asked as Sucre helped with the rope around her legs.“He's trying to get this war over and down with. Once and for all.” Sucre replied.“And…. And Sophia?” She asked, getting down from the car.“With the explosion we just heard? She should be dead.” Sucre added. “Come, you're my responsibili
Byron arrived at the address he gave Derek. He got out of his car, handed the key to Marcus, one of his most trusted men. “The three of you get the five cars out of this vicinity. No cars should be seen here when they arrive.” He ordered, walking away while the rest of his men all surrounded the entire place just like he instructed them.They trooped in, hiding in the rooftop of the building, digging the sand close to the sea and burying themselves; in anticipation of what was to come. There were about a hundred and fifty of them, and they were all dressed in black. And had about three to four guns were with them.Their guns were fully loaded, and as they took their different positions, they set their guns in front of them, aiming it in the direction Byron, their boss instructed them.In about 10 minutes, the 150 men had successfully hidden themselves and when Byron turned to inspect the place, it was as calm and clear as if it was just him and Sucre that were present.“Brilliant, Byr
Sophia took her seat not too far from Sara who was tied to a chair. She could still remember when she arrived at Derek's residence, with the aim of ending his life for all the pain he had caused her but then, she yelled a chaotic noise, causing her to raise her head up to the balcony at the seventh floor. Derek's room.To her shocking surprise, Sara was jumping out of his room. At first, she thought it was ridiculous for Sara to be in her baby Daddy's room but then, she knew how much Derek was obsessed with Sarah, not knowing she was Sara, Byron's wife. An idea dropped in her head then she changed her plans. Why kill Derek and be jailed and still lose at the end with no money, when she could get someone else to do the job and still get a lot of money with her?It was then she turned and patiently waited for Sara to swing off the water before tailing her down to this small hut, without being noticed.“I'm sorry we had to meet this way, Sara….” Sophia smirked, her gaze fixed on Sara.“
“Ahhh.. ouch…” Sara cried.Not her stomach again! She had been protecting this one with her life. And now this monster wants to kill it before it even gets the opportunity to form in her stomach!“I'd kill you myself! Before you think of going back to that husband if yours, I'd gladly have your blood as wine!” He had a bloodthirsty look as he placed the broken bottle on her skin, slowly dragging it and cutting deep into her flesh.“No…” Sara whimpered as he cut her hands and her blood gushed out of her body.Enduring the pain; behind her, she placed her hand into her pocket, grabbing the pencil knife she placed there when she was leaving the warehouse. She knew dealing with Derek was a dangerous idea, but not being armed was a foolish idea.Without warning, she pulled and slid it across his cheek. Not satisfied with it, she raised her hand and stuck the knife into his chest.Derek gasped, “Shit!” He yelled as she stabbed him and tried to flee but he grabbed her by her legs. “Let me g
Lincoln didn't realize a car had stopped behind him when he was trying to pass through the gate to go back and look for Byron who was obviously still in the yard, probably getting cooked alive.The sound of the burning place and the fire made it impossible to hear the cars driving towards him, not until a bullet crashed on his right hand. As he turned, he saw Derek pointing his gun right at his face.There was no time to alert Tbaj, he had gotten to his car and was still being shot at when Lincoln himself was pushed into Derek's car. It was after Tbaj was smart enough to zoom off, that Derek walked over to him to ask for Byron's whereabouts.“Oh, he's in that burning yard?” Derek laughed, “Hahaha! Funny!” He said coldly.“You must really think I'm a fool to believe that.” Lincoln shook his head, “I don't think you're a fool, I know you're a bloody big time fool! I even heard you're 39, it's only a matter of one year until your foolishness becomes permanent!” Lincoln thundered, his e
“If Byron's is in there….You can't get in!” Tbaj announced, his voice trembling.If both Byron and Sucre were in there, there is a big chance that are probably being cooked by that fire. Just by standing a few feets away, the heat was making his temperature higher than usual.“No, we have to get him!” Lincoln yelled on top of his lungs, his eyes dark with pain and bitterness! He was breathing heavily and sweating hard at the same time! “Shit… Byron! Can you hear me!” He shouted, trying to go over to the gate but the fire was almost brushed over him, but he was quick enough to dodge.He shook his head in frustration. But was determined to go get his cousin. The sight of how greatly the fire has spread across the entire place was to be questioned. Just a bomb couldn't do this! Something or someone definitely has a hand in this! “Don't! Lincoln, it's too dangerous! You wanna get your skin fried?!” Tbaj yells out, far from where he stood, still carrying an unconscious Vanessa in his ha
“Don't fucking ask questions! Just fucking do as I've instructed, do you hear me?!” Drew barked, frustration evident on his face. He would be a dead man in ten minutes when the timer is off! And these fools are asking questions instead of doing their jobs! If only he could open his chest and tell them that they would be all blown to bits if this isn't carried out but that was going to put him in more trouble with Byron.“What? Do you want me to call the boss now and explain to him how you all are trying to discard and disobey his orders?!” Drew thundered.“Okay… relax… are you crying?” One of the men noticed Drew's eyes ask, concerned in his tone.Sucre resisted the urge of bursting out laughing. “Hold it in, Sucre… don't blow this up.” Byron whispers.“I'm trying..ha..” Sucre bit his lower lip, trying not to laugh. The situation was so fucking funny as he could see the bomb they set on Drew's chest was doing a great job. He must commend Byron for bringing out such brilliant ideas e
