The next morning, the ringing of Ryan's phone woke him up.
He tried to get himself out of bed. He felt as if some hefty guys had used his body as a punching bag all through the night. His head felt like it was going to bust open.With a groan, Ryan walked to the sitting room where the ringing of the phone was coming from. How he got home last night or rather, this morning, remained a mystery to him.He checked the caller ID. It was Brenda that was calling."Ryan?" She called at the other end of the line."You're okay?" He almost groaned at the stinking alcoholic smell that oozed from his mouth as he spoke."Are you on your way?"Ryan Sat down on the sofa. "I will be there soon.""We are already going to the court, meet us there.""Court?" He asked, but she had already hung up.Wait a minute… today? Today is the first hearing of the case betw

The man brought out a bottle of juice from his jacket and placed it on the sink. "It's directly from the company. Great taste. You'd remember it forever." The man nodded and continued, "it will be the last thing you'd taste on earth. Isn't that fun?"Ryan looked from the bottle to the man. "I said you should unlock the door.""I will do that when I'm done with you. As I was saying..." he pointed at the bottle of juice. "... The juice contains an overdose of antidepressants. You only have to drink halfway before you die. I mean, what death can be more peaceful and enjoyable than that?" The man leaned on the door. "Come to think if it, you'll die as a hero. You'd be that man who was very dedicated to his job that no one knew was going through depression. You'd be popular in death. What do you think?"Ryan tried to weigh the pros and cons of what actions he would take. This man probably has a gun. If he makes any s

Ryan tried to keep his breathing steady as the woman dragged him away. All along, he had been expecting that the dead man's partner was a man. It has been a woman all along?"Walk faster," the woman said. Now that Ryan looked at her well, he realized she was probably in her early thirties. In her pants and blouse, she looked like an ordinary woman with an ordinary life, hoping to have a husband and kids —if she hadn't had those. "It took you longer than I expected," the woman said, still dragging Ryan along with her."You only had to force the drink down his throat." She stopped in front of a car and pushed him inside. She also got in beside him.Before Ryan could understand what was happening, the woman was already peeling her dress open. "You promised to allow me to do anything I want if you succeed in taking Ryan out of the way." She took off her blouse, revealing her pink bra holding two breasts captive.

Ryan let out a breath of relief after the doctor had left. He explained to them that everything is under control, especially due to the fact that she was brought to the hospital on time."The real head of the Lt Group, I can't wait to see him go down," Anna said."He will go down at the end of everything, but first, he has to see his company crumble. After we win the case, he's dead.""About the case… today's hearing wasn't pretty," Anna said.Seeing how tired she looked, Ryan suggested they sat down. He got them two cups of coffee and gave one to her."Thank you." She took a sip from the coffee.Ryan nodded and also took a sip from the coffee, thankfully, his stomach could hold it."Every time our lawyer tried to say something, the Lt group's lawyer would raise an objection. Our lawyer rarely said a complete sentence without being objected to and..." She frowned. "The judge allowed the

It all happened in less than a twinkle of an eye. Several patrol cars parked around Ryan's GMC. Several cops came out, opened the GMC door and one of them handed out a handcuff. "You are under arrest for the murder of Mrs Smith," the cop who handed out the handcuff said.Even as Ryan was dragged into one of the cops cars, he couldn't believe what was happening. He had parked his car, went inside the restaurant to get some food, came back in less than five minutes only to find a dead woman in his car and the next moment, cops had come out of nowhere and handed him some freaking damn handcuffs as if he were some serial killer. Who the hell would believe he had nothing to do with this drama? It was perfectly staged. Perfectly planned. Really, Jed is a master planner. Two of the cops dragged him down from the car and dragged him inside one of the offices in their station. A man with a stomach that stretched out in

Potbelly's chin and lips trembled. "Sir, do… Do you happen to know him?""Yes. That's why I'm surprised to see him here.""Sir, remember… remember this… this isn't time to allow personal feelings. A murderer could be… it could be anyone, Sir.""Geoffrey, are you teaching me my job?" A bemused smile was on the face of the new cop."Not at all, Sir," potbelly said quickly."I was going to remind you that I've been doing this job for the past thirty years."Now, potbelly was scared, not just scared, but frustrated and angry deep inside. If Jed wants to go down, he should go down alone. Why had Jed not warned him that this Ryan could have influence in the station? For a moment, potbelly wished he had never met Jed and most importantly, he wished he had never lived a double marriage that he's a coward to explain to his two wives. And Jed wouldn't have threatened him with it. It was enough trouble that hi

Ryan, running out of time, brought out two more envelopes from his briefcase. She eyed it greedily, licking her lips. "Jed doesn't like to discuss his private life."Ryan almost groaned in disappointment. "You don't know where he lives?"She smiled at him. "I did after giving him a really mind-blowing blow job." She winked at him and stretched out her hand. "Your phone?"Ryan gave it to her and she typed something on it before giving it back to him."That is where his kid and baby mama live. He visits them sometimes. Maybe that is where he is." "Thanks a lot.""You're welcome." She stuffed the envelopes inside the pocket of a jacket she was putting on.Quickly, Ryan left. Twenty minutes later, he was knocking on the door of a modest house. He hoped Jed's baby mama would still be up. But really, who stays up around midnight if there was nothi

Ryan stood up from where he had been sitting all along. He met the Jed's eyes burning with fury. Jed's fist was tightly clenched, because Jed's back was turned to Tessa, she couldn't see how mad her husband or rather, boyfriend looked. Since she was already suspicious of Jed's behaviour, Ryan didn't meet Jed's stare with anger, instead, he smiled. "Am I now a stranger?" Ryan asked, the smile still on his face.Realizing what Ryan was doing, Jed walked closer to Ryan and pulled him in a hug."I miss you, buddy," Jed said even though his hug with Ryan was really stiff."That was a fantastic welcome you gave, buddy," Ryan said.Jed pulled away from Ryan and walked to Tessa who still looked rather startled by Jed's reaction when he came in. He kissed her lightly before pulling her in a hug. He said something into her ear that made her giggle."Ryan and I will be outside. He has an appoint

From where he sat, Ryan could see Edison slump from his seat. Edison's lawyer looked down, biting his lower lip.After that judge had left, the reporters forced their way in. They surrounded where Ryan and the other three were sitting."How do you know about what the Lt group has been up to?""Who is the executive director?" "Can you tell us how you feel?" Ryan whispered to Brice to attend to them while he pulled away. He met Edison outside who was looking around helplessly. Having made a lot of calls, there was no one willing to lend him the money for the fine he had to pay.Ryan walked toward him. He gave the policemen around Edison an apologetic look and they both stepped aside, watching him and Edison from a few steps."How does it feel?" Edison threw his phone at Ryan's feet. He tried to stand up from where his legs were chained but he couldn't. "Thi
