“ Hello, Jackson, I need an assembly of a good team because I need to tackle this case.” Caine said.Jackson was surprised to hear from him," Caine?” He replied to be certain. He could have sworn that his ears were playing tricks on him because Caine had sworn never to have anything to do with the main police Force.“ Yes, and I need your help. I am in a tight fix.” Jackson snapped upright, whatever made Caine stuck in a case meant that it was very tedious. He was the best when they were in college, solving the most complex cases, which made him rise above his mates. The only person who came close to him was Queen, who had now run a brothel.“ I wouldn't forget this voice. What do you want me to do for you?” “Assemble a good team that is good at playing the field. Do you understand?” He asked.“Yeah, right. So who are we chasing this time?” He asked.“ A bastard, he is with my kids.” “ How many people are working on this case with you? “ Jackson asked so that he would know what to
“ Okay, so what do you propose? He's always with them, watching me with his hawk-like eyes. I can't seem to find anything to discharge him, you know how hard these things can be.” Caine inched closer to get a scoop of what he suspected was going on.“She is awake now, I can't send her back into a coma. Okay, let's admit that if I do that, it would lead to more suspicions on my part, which I am not sure that I am ready for. He doesn't strike me as a person who would let things slide.” Dr. Lambert said, and ran his hands through his bushy hair.“ He was staring at my crest yesterday.” “ I didn't keep it carelessly, I don't know why his gaze traveled down there. That's why I said that I don't want any situation whereby it would lead to something bigger than we expect. I think we should let him go, or what do you think?” He asked.“ I can't tamper with Henry, I've stopped him from waking up many times. If I try anything else, he will die, and we won't get the money we need,” He went fur
“Why didn't you get him? That man is slick!” He demanded in annoyance, “Now he has escaped! You had one chance, one chance, and you blew it!” Terrence thundered heavily.“Good, I don't know what to do with you. You are very useless, I wish that you'd be taken and replaced with someone better.” He spoke angrily.He didn't understand why someone would be so dumb to the point of not getting his target in one aim. He could have done it himself, but he decided to give someone else the chance, now the person went and blew it all up. Who even does that?They waited for a very long time for Caine to come out of the restaurant, but they didn't find him. They had seen him entering the restaurant, and Terrence was mad. He wanted to take revenge on Caine for killing his brother.“ Go and check what's happening inside.” He told the person with him.” The man alighted from the SUV and marched straight to the restaurant. He adjusted his earpiece for easy communication.Caine watched the strange man w
Seize him, don't let him get away!" The security guards shouted as they tried to run after Caine who took off immediately he pulled the trigger.Terrence drove after him and it became a deathly race. The guards ran after him while Terrence was also on his case ready to catch him and kill him off immediately but Caine outran them.Terrence was pissed, he couldn't just shoot in broad daylight,he still had his reputation to protect before any other thing. Caine ran in a zigzag motion to avoid being hit by a stray bullet. He saw a sharp corner which had a row of shops and he entered there swiftly causing Terrence to hiss in annoyance. What could be done to get Caine out of the way permanently? He wondered. Caine only stopped when he saw that no one was chasing him and they were staring at him like a mad fellow in the market. He comported himself as he navigated through the shops and looked for a place to sit.He dialed Pops number again and it connected this time. " Hello, son.we weren
At the Tower, “ Rise, you lazy ass!” Terrence said as he stormed into the room where Clara was.Clara jerked up immediately as she studied the face of her abductor, he was angry about something that she had no idea of. He dragged his feet on the ground, “ I have a job for you, and you will do it for me.” He said as he flicked on the lighter and smoked the cigarette, staring at her with a wicked light in her eyes, reminding her of his personality. His creepy eyes ran over her length and she suddenly felt scaredin fact, she didn't feel like she could stay in this place any longer. With eyes glinting with mischief, he walked closer to her and crouched where she sat, tied down like an animal about to be led to the slaughter.“ Let me intimate you with the pros and cons of the task ahead of you. Remember that you have only one option, but for the sake of fair hearing. Firstly, you will be released the moment you do it. I'll leave your family alone forever.” He paused and puffed his ci
“ So, what are you saying right now? Do you mean to tell me that there's no other person who could help out with this? Is that what you are saying?” Terrence challenged his intel in the hospital.“ Yes, sir. There are three guards surrounding them at every minute, there's nothing I can do. I think they already suspect my involvement, so I would rather not make it too obvious.” Dr. Lambert said.He saw the way they were staring at him and knew that he would be in big trouble if he tried anything funny. He was even tempted to run, but something told him that if he did, he would have himself to blame, and he didn't want for himself.“ What do you suggest we do? You're the one inside the hospital, don't tell me that you can't do anything. It's a very big lie which I wouldn't tolerate. Now, tell me, would you want to remain alive or be six feet under? You know what? I don't need to do any of that for you, all I need is to just leak out the conversation to the press and watch what you love
Caine drove to Capsicum Palace at night that day, when he alighted from the vehicle, he was surprised to see the building resembling a shed.It was laden with a wooden roof, which looked beaten down and worn out, there was also a healthy It beat his imagination why this place was called a palace because in his opinion, it wasn't worth to be called that. He put his hand in his pocket, touching his revolver to make sure that he was prepared in case of any emergency. Slowly, he trudged towards the shed and pushed the door open. The restaurant fell quiet when he walked in and many pairs of eyes swung at him. His hand was firm on his pocket, waiting for any mishap so that he could show himself to them.“ Hey, Mr. Caine, over here!” Lambert called as he waved his hand. “ Hello, guys, he's with me!” “ I hope it wasn't stressful to locate this place.” Dr. Lambert asked, in a conversational tone, when Caine drew arrived at his table.“ No, it wasn't.” Caine lied.Dr. Lambert flashed a grin,
After a few hours, Henry suddenly jerked out of his sleep when he heard a small noise and Fred also arose," Hey, it's okay,” he said as he went closer to where he was staying.He merely stared on as he watched the unknown man's eyes flicker in concern.“ Don't try to move your body or anything, you will be fine.” Fred spoke again, leaving Henry wondering who this man was. He hoped he wasn't stuck in some place with those bad people.Fred saw the uncertainty and fear in Henry's eyes and chuckled," Don't worry, you are safe.” He said, he knew that Henry had had different encounters that made him scared. Heck, he would be too.”Henry didn't as do as little as twitch a muscle because he was still feeling very weak and didn't think that he would be able to do much today.Fred pressed the button beside his bed, and smiled, “The nurses will be here very soon.” He told him. Then he adjusted his legs to lay well on the bed. Another doctor arrived with a few nurses as soon as possible.“ It's
A year After."What is going on?" He inquired worriedly when he saw Clara bent over a toilet seat, heaving her lungs out. Panic settled inside him and he patted her back softly. What can I get you?" He asked her and she sat on the tiles."I feel queasy." She said and before she could finish talking, she puked again inside the toilet. "Please get me a tissue." She croaked and stretched her hand backward. That was what she needed.Henry sighed softly as he wiped her mouth for her. "You need to see a doctor, this cannot be ordinary flu." He said and she rinsed her mouth."I think so too. I don't know what is happening to me but I don't feel well inside of me." Like a lightbulb, an idea flashed into his head and he stared at her with wide eyes, and she stared at him strangely." what?" "Are you pregnant?" "What?" She repeated and Henry placed a hand on her shoulders. " Have you been feeling weak? Tenderness in the boobs? Diarrhea and constant headache?" He inquired." Yeah?""I think..
The flight back to Italy was very quick, maybe it was due to the fact that they didn't have anything bothering them anymore, no need to look over their shoulder for every little matter. Henry was very elated to see the soils of Italy.It made him appreciate freedom. He never knew that he was living like a king even when he was poor but with the small taste of money and the problems that accompanied it, he was able to appreciate being free.Clara rested her head on his shoulder as she stared at the soil. It was good to go home. " How do you feel?" She inquired from him and he smiled at her."I feel good, great, even. Who would have thought that I would miss this place? There was a time I was crazy about leaving the country, now that I know better I know that I was foolish at that time. What the hell was I even thinking at that period? He wondered aloud.Clara giggled beside him, it was amazing how he was able to see things from a grander scope. "I think there are several reasons that w
Henry sank to his feet instantly and Clara rushed to hug him. She cried into his shoulders, until his clothes began to get wet. " I'm sorry,I shouldn't be doing this. I don't know what is wrong with me." She chuckled while trying to wipe the tears off her face.Henry rose slowly and held her up. It wasn't so great of an event. She was bawling her eyes out. " Hey, it's okay, I'm free now. You don't need to cry." He said, trying to pacify her and she nodded softly.She moved away so that she could allow the grandfather and son to bond comfortably. Stopping them was not the best thing that she could do because she was feeling a certain type of way. His gaze fell upon his grandfather and he didn't know when he began to weep gently. It was almost as though he was feeling weak and at the same time unable to breathe. "I'm so happy to see you son." He said and held him very close to himself. "Me too, Pops." He said and held him close. His pops had been there for him for a very long time an
The court room went silent and Henry stared at the man who just came to lie without a tangible reason. His eyes rested on him and he tried to figure out where he knew him from to no avail . It was as though the man had harbored grievances against him and sought the perfect time to unleash his vengeance. He was stupefied." I take objection to that statement. If there's CCTV footage, produce it so that we can all watch it." Henry's lawyer said and he stared at the wicked man who was standing before him. it was obvious that he was just trying to ruin Henry's life."I came with proof if that's what you are asking for." He said confidently and Henry was pissed beyond measure. He didn't know this man from Adam but he was hell bent on tarnishing his image. " Lets have it." The judge called again and it was given to him. The assistant slotted it in and connected it to the projector and they all watched the scene."Pause it there." The judge said and adjusted his glasses." A hush fell ove
After spending a great deal of time trying to make sure that there was no need to continue staying in the hospital, they went to court. Pops pulled some strings on some of his old people who knew what was going on, he was probably thinking about what would have happened if he didn't have such a strong backbone. He didn't even want to imagine it because it would be so brutal. Anyway, it was going to be great if he could actually do without the court order Alas, there was no one above the law. He stood before the judge at the supreme court with his lawyer in front of him. The complainant also stood at the opposite dock. It was a woman, she was claiming that her husband was killed."Mr. Henry, What do you have to say concerning the defendant's claim?" Henry looked at the judge and the sobbing woman. As much as he pitied her, he couldn't help but feel that she was doing a tad bit too much. "I didn't kill her husband, my honor. It was out of self defense. He tried to kill me, whoever has
*******Chapter 187Clara didn't wait for him to finish his sentence before placing a hand over her mouth, this was not the news that she wanted to hear. It was heartbreaking and at the same time she had to maintain a good front because Pops was in the room, staring at her. "That's great to hear. I thought that he was actually harmed. It's good to hear that he's well. Thank you Caine." She mustered a fake smile and Caine stared at his phone as if there was an alien living in it. Wasn't she the person who was angry a few minutes ago that things were hidden away from her? Yet she was telling him thank you. "Good. I'll talk to you later." He said and she nodded before hanging up abruptly and turned to see Pops staring at her. He wasn't talking at the moment but his eyes spoke volumes. He was probably thinking about what was happening to his grandson."Pops, what would you like to eat?" She asked him as she moved closer to his bed to stroke his hands.He shook his head slightly and she
Chapter 186George agreed without arguing one bit as he was drooped at the end of the road, he didn't waste any more time in making sure that there was anything holding him back as he bundled down the pavement and flagged down a cab. He was sure that they would take him to his doorstep. All he needed was to take a bath first then right after he could now start thinking about other things but for now, he would have preferred just staying away and waiting till there was nothing else to do. "That man is scarred. I don't think we should have let him go just like that. We know that he needed the money. He was just acting so that it didn't seem that way." Fred spoke from the rearview mirror.Caine nodded in agreement. He had other plans for the man but from experience he had known better than to allow anyone to come close to the family because it could be very frustrating if the person didn't know what was going on. It was more of a preservation. No one wanted to be involved with people th
Chapter 185Caine and Fred came bursting through the door. " Everyone raise your hands above your heads." Caine ordered as he and Fred came bursting into the living room.Everyone stared at them as if they were aliens speaking gibberish. "Who is he?" Liam asked as his eyes casually strolled from the intruders to Henry.Henry sighed and balled his fists which were already losing sensitivity due to the excessive amount of blood. "Don't go all macho on him. You can call him my brother from another mother, he's been there even from the beginning of this issue." Liam's eyes narrowed in suspicion as he stared at the man in front of him. He couldn't remember where he knew him from but from the way he was behaving he knew that he was someone of great importance.Caine glanced at Fred before his eyes swung toward Liam and Ryan. This was somewhat a complicated issue because if it was left to him, he would have locked this man up. But with the situation at hand. It sounded unwise because this ma
Chapter 184Henry didn't waste time in locating the person who fired the shots. It was no one but Jess and he was shocked to his bone that she could even attempt to save them."I love you baby!" Liam jumped up immediately and pulled the trigger at Ryan causing him to stumble and almost hit the ground.George, sensing potential freedom, rose from his position and bundled towards Ryan who was rubbing his sore legs. It was a double bullet. He didn't wait till he recovered before falling atop him. Ryan was utterly shocked when he saw that the tables had turned. "Get off me, you oaf." He grunted from beneath George and tried to shake him off but found it hard to do that so he bit him.George, who was stubborn, persisted in making sure that he didn't leave.Henry also joined the party by knocking the gun out of his hands. Ryan was pretty helpless at this point, he bit George on the hand again, this time almost removing the chunk of flesh that surrounded his hand but George made sure that h
