The men scampered out of the room and out the hallway. "Alright! Everybody get up and fill up! Head for the door slowly!" One of the men, claps shouted."What? They're letting us go?" A woman asked him, a partner. Sarah looked around the room and could not find James."Get up Sarah, come on!" Theodore said pulling her up from the floor."Where is James?" She asked him, turning around to look back."Don't worry about that right now, do as they say!" He said and pushed her into the line of people moving towards the entrance.The General outside was shocked to see the line of people file outside. More and more people walked out of the building."What is going on?" The Captain asked."We need to speak to Johnson," the General said.The Captain turned to him with a sour look. "Johnson? What do you mean? That low life could not have...""I will have you hold your tongue, Captain!" The General commanded him."You really don't have to open up your mouth every single time, Captain. You really
James continued to watch the safe, and when he turned it over. He saw it, the timer. The bomb had really been ticking."Shit!" He cursed and got up"Hey! Stop there! Don't move!" Claps shouted out. He pointed the gun at him along with two other men.Dark clouds got off the floor, pressing his hand to his head.He took a gun from one of his guys and pointed it at James."You really think you can outsmart me and play the role of some kind of sick hero, huh??" Dark Clouds asked him."You know that I know, right? How long do you think you can stay under false pretense?" James asked him. He had his gun pointed at them."Lost in your own understanding, I see." Dark Clouds said. "Well, whatever it is you know, is completely insignificant right now. You will get me that bioweapon and you will disable that bomb. " Dark Clouds said."Well, I hate to disappoint you but that is impossible. That safe is rigged and what you hear ticking right now, is currently counting down at the behinds of that s
"No!" She screamed out loud.The sound of the explosions shook Sarah to her bones. The officers had forced her along with them in order to ensure that she was safe.Tears bubbled in her eyes, as she stared at the flames which had engulfed the forest and everything that was within ten miles of the mansion. The officers pulled her back with them, as her feet prepared themselves to make a run for it."Please! Calm down, Ma'am!" The officer who held her said to her.Sarah fell to the ground crying and grabbing her chest. This had not been the plan, although, it had been a part of her fears.Her voice ceased completely, and she stared helplessly at the smoke and fire sparks that sizzled in the air. Her breath had been reduced to quiet gasps, the wind had become frostily cold as smoke clouds covered the atmosphere where they stood.With every breath she took, her body shivered. Nothing could be seen for miles because that was how thick the clouds were.Hands gripped her shoulders firmly, li
William's eyes roamed Sarah's body. From her messy hair to her knee-length t-shirt which was not decent at all."What are you doing here, Williams?" She asked him. She had lost her ability to be scared. She did not owe Williams anything. This whole engagement was set up by her family and not her."What- what do you mean by what am I doing here? I am here to see if you are okay. You are my fiancee for goodness sake." He said to her."Who is in there?" He said pushing past her."Williams! Williams, this is not appropriate! What gives you the right to just barge into my house like this? I wasn't expecting you, and frankly, I do not owe you any explanation!" Sarah yelled at him."Really?? Really Sarah? Don't you? Who is in there??" He yelled at her."You will not yell or make certain accusations in my house. I do not want to fight with you, Williams. Quietly get the hell out of my apartment right now." She yelled at him."I do not want to fight with you either, but you need to get your he
Mrs Brown hastily walked into Sarah's office, wearing a scowl. Sarah ignored her Express because she already had a fair idea of what the problem was. She must have already spoken with Williams.So, the scowl on her face was not without reason."If it is what I am thinking about, then, I advise that you let it go now," Sarah said to her."What do you mean by that? You have the guys to even suggest that we forget about it? Do you not know that we owe the Smiths our lives? As much as that boy is suddenly rich, I still do not like the idea of him." Mrs Brown said."Really? I mean, I don't understand you, mother. I really don't. James is my husband and you are not making any sense. He is wealthy now or has been wealthy for a long time. Mother, he can take care of everything that we need right now. Why... Why is Williams suddenly a problem?" Sarah asked her."Williams is not a problem. He is a solution! A noble solution. Sarah, you have not properly considered the decisions you are taking a
"The inauguration ceremony will be taking place in a few weeks. It would be more than amazing if you did not have any other engagements that day. The commander-in-chief would be there, and by that, you know who I mean. The President himself would be there, Johnson." The General said to James, while they sat in his office back at the Military Base.The office was well furnished. It was a navy blue painted cool looking, spacious setting. There was a fur carpet spread across the floor, a huge black, swivelling chair on which the General sat and two other comfortable black chairs for guests.There was one long nude-coloured sofa and beautiful artwork decorated the walls."This will be your office soon enough. You are free to head to the company and do the needful for your business, but you have to show up at the office for at least a couple hours a day. How's your arm healing?" He asked James.James seemed a bit distracted. His mood had already turned sour after his argument with Sarah th
The lights flashed across his eyes as he slipped in and out of consciousness. James could hear the distant voices yelling and arguing. The sounds of beeping machines whirring.He could hear the voices but could not make out what they were saying. His vision was blurry and his head continued to hurt. The pain was still too much for him to bear until he couldn't bear it anymore. He gave in to the dizziness that was bearing down on him.By the time he opened his eyes again, he was in a strange room, lying in the bed. He could tell it was a hospital room, but he could not remember what had caused him to get there, or how he had gotten there in the first place.The door opened and Sarah walked into the room. Her face was ashen as though the blood had drained completely from it.She let out a deep sigh and pressed her hand to the door handle, as though bracing herself for something extremely difficult."You're awake." She said in a low tone. James was silent. He remembered what had transpir
Antonio Rizzo strode angrily into the room where his daughter and Peter Causey sat. His expression was one of maddened fury.Causey knew that the meeting would not be a friendly one.Rizzo had a cigarette in his mouth which had not been lit. His missing eye seemed to glare at everything along with his other eye."One job... You had one job!" Rizzo yelled out. " All the men died in that explosion. Every single one of them." Rizzo queried."You did not listen to my advice when I suggested that we hold back the Operation until a later date. Anything that involves that bastard, James Johnson always ends up in disaster. We needed to ensure that those codes were secured." Causey said."Are you by any chance trying to blame my Father for this?" Viola asked him. She sat in a chair opposite Causey, dressed in a green shirt, black pants, and a green hat."I never said that, young lady. I am just saying that it pays to listen to advice sometimes, even when it comes from subordinates." Causey rep
