James's phone vibrated severally within his pockets as he crept towards one of the big open windows that belonged to the shed. There were railings on one of them, but the other was used as an avenue for fully airing out the room.It also had a long flexible pipe standing beside it."Get the other men to the front. " The deep voice instructed.James could hear a low grunting sound coming from inside the room."Hey! You better eat, it is going to be a really long night in for us all." The man muttered."I'm not hungry." The voice James knew so well replied.His heart skipped a beat when he realized that he had been right all along."The General!" He exclaimed to himself.James charged up and rushed to the other side of the shed which had an open window with bars. He peeped at the tall man who stood in front of the door. The General looked okay. He was not bruised or beaten up.The man moved to the other window without bars and James saw his chance.Without wastinf any more time, he ran

"Boss, we will handle this one. You take the girl and get out of here." One of the men said to Dark Clouds."You had better not fail me." Dark Clouds muttered and walked out of the room with two guards.James and the General both heard the heavy footsteps thudding down the steps. They both cocked their guns and ran towards the under of the staircase until the men had run towards the area they had come from.They both heard the front door shut and James nodded at the General to go after those leaving, while he handled those inside the house."No, we do this together." The General pointed to a table ahead of them. James nodded and as the men turned back towards the staircase, both of them lifted up the table and threw it at them, hitting them all at once.Together, they made for the front door as soon as the car revved out of the driveway."My car is down front! Come on!" James yelled. The General follows him out the gate towards the entrance of the estate where his car was parked.They

He pushed the door open and walked into the room. Both the General and James turned to look at him. The General's daughter pressed closer to her father."Captain!" The General said with a smile on his face. "Thanks for being there just in time to catch those men. My daughter... She was also saved because of your timely intervention." "Just doing my job, Sir. After all, the real hero is Johnson here." James turned to the Captain at the mention of his name. They both exchanged a mutually unpleasant knowing look. It was obvious to James that he did not mean what he said wholly."Yes. Get better Johnson. I have to take my princess here home." The General pulled his daughter closer to him."Thank you for saving me, Mr. Johnson." She said in a small voice.Johnson nodded weakly and flashed her a smile.Together, the General and his daughter walked out of the hospital room.Although the General had already left, the Captain remained.James caught his penetrative stare and returned it.The

"No! I'm calling off the wedding."James turned to her sharply. He would have pulled her closer to him if he could, but he could not reach out."What? How come?" He asked, even though he did not really care. It was great news to him."I... I found out the truth. Williams and Causey are together." Sarah replied."What?" It was not a surprise but, all the same, it shocked him that she had come to find out herself."Williams is such a liar. And he pinned it all on you and made me believe that you had something to do with it. I am so sorry for believing him and not you ." She apologized.James' already dark eyes narrowed at her. This was the first time he had sent her so broken. Sarah was so beautiful, that he had not even realized she had not put on any makeup that morning. She had just shown up at the hospital as if she had just woken up."I have nothing against you, Sarah. Absolutely nothing. I love you and that is my only fault. I would never let anyone or anything make you feel stup

Williams and his men put their guns down. But Williams turned to the troop of military officers with a smile on his face."Gentlemen, I have to say, I apologize for this unruly disturbance. But you see, this is a family problem.""Well, your family problem is causing a nuisance. Take your men and leave this place right now. Leave before we take undue action on you." Mateo warned him.Williams watched him closely. He knew he was outnumbered. Slowly, he put his gun down."Come on guys, let's go " he got into the car."This isn't over Sarah Brown " he muttered and stepped on the gas. His car screeched out of the estate, along with that of his men.Sarah let out a sigh of relief and rushed over to her house. She hugged her Jasmine and Father tightly."What the hell happened, Sarah??" Mrs Brown yelled Sarah."How dare you go on and make a decision like that without speaking to any of us about it, huh???""I reserve the right to make my decisions. Besides, I am tired of you selling me off t

James sat up on his hospital bed, as the door opened and the General walked in. He had a smile on his face."Morning General," James said with respect."Hello, Johnson. How's the injury today?" He asked"All good. You know me. Up in about a few minutes." James joked"How's the family?""They are doing great, watched twenty-four-seven by an army of the best-trained security guards. Thanks to you, my child and my baby were saved, and now, my daughter and I. We owe you a great deal Johnson, and that is why I came here to give you this." He said and handed him an envelope."The President himself signed it." The General added.James opened up the envelope and pulled out a small piece of paper. It was a cheque. A cheque of two hundred billion dollars.James' eyes widened at the sight of the cheque. His mouth popped open."This is too much! Mr. General!" James exclaimed."It is a token for saving citizens and your service over the years, Johnson." He replied coolyJames stared with his mouth

The black Genesis Hyundai Parked at the side of the free road. It was deserted at that time of day.The driver got out of the car and walked towards his trunk and pulled it open. The huge man rolled out on his back, landing on his feet."Where is this place?" Dark clouds asked the Captain."This is Tyson's free way. You better get off on Boulevard road by the time you reach the major turn. I have limited time to be here. Dexter will meet up with you, he knows what to do." The General handed him the keys to the car and went across the road to the other side where a dark blue Corolla NC was parked.He got into it and drove away. Dark clouds arrived at Boulevard Road and found a clear spot under an incomplete bridge where he waited for the said man to arrive.A black sports car arrived a few minutes later and a huge man got out of the car."Mr. Dark Clouds you must be. Come with me. You will ride with the Boss." Dexter said and threw him the keys. He took the keys to the Genesis Hyundai

Sarah paused as soon as the doorbell went off. It was eight thirty PM. James wasn't supposed to return from the hospital until the next morning and she was just parking up things to go spend the night with him.She paused her packing and went out of the room. Peeping through the security hole, she didn't find anyone there."What the heck." She returned to continue packing up. Suddenly, the knocking resumed and she walked back towards the door and peeped, a room service cart was parked at her door."Why? I didn't order room service." She unlocked the door to check who was there and that was when she saw the gun pointed at her.Sarah moved back with her hands in the air."Who are you?" She asked in a whisper.A hand from behind her covered her mouth and a clothe rose to her nose, knocking her out.James Waited. It was morning and Sarah had not shown up the previous night."Perhaps she was tired, James. Come on, lover boy." Anna said to him."She was supposed to spend the night here. We

James went to his car and pulled out his box of rifles and set them on his lap."What are you doing?" The General asked him. James continued to rack through his weapons, pulling out a knife, a gun and a couple of other things."Where's the Captain?" James asked him. Suddenly realizing. "What? I don't know. Wasn't he inside the hall?" The General replied.James cocked his gun and handed it to the General. " He wasn't." James replied. His eyes remained pinned across the street.The charity event was probably still goin on."Listen. I have a strong feeling he is a part of this. When you find him, put a bullet in his shoulder for me. Some officers are back at the barracks. Stefan is one of them.“"The Lieutenant? You made a lieutenant stay back, James?" The General asles looking at him surprise."That is the least of our worries. Call him, call the cops too. Get men on the roofs. These bastards are amateurs anyway." He referred to the guards."What do you mean?" The General asked." They

"Mr. Rizzo, what's going on?" Her voice trembled. Her heart took on a sudden tempo that made her feel something was wrong."It is nothing, Miss Brown. They are friends, don't worry." As soon as he said that, one of the men walked up to her and hit her across the face.James shuddered in his seat. It hit him strongly like a sixth sense. His eyes began to scan the room for Sarah. He was sure he had seen her there a couple of moments ago."It is an honour to be gathered here. One of the greatest events is raising leaders," the president's speech continued."What is it, Mr. Johnson? Is everything okay?" The official beside him asked."Have you seen my wife? She is supposed to be seated there. She was, but, she is no longer there." James replied."I haven't seen her. But I will ask the other officials if you want." The woman offered."Please do." James replied, but that was not enough. He still felt a strange feeling beneath his chest. He knew something wasn't right.Suddenly, his phone be

The doorbell dinged, drawing the attention of the maid. She unlocked the door and took the uniform from the drycleaner.James was upstairs getting changed, while Sarah sat at her dressing table putting on her make up. His designed uniform had arrived, and he took it from the maid at the door.He turned to Sarah as soon as he was done putting on his clothes. They had not spoken since their last argument.Sarah noticed his struggle with a button. Everything accused her of what she was about to do. The silence between her screamed at her too.So, she got up from her dressing stool and walked up to him. She helped him pin the badges he had gotten before on his new uniform."I have to admit, you do look handsome in this uniform." She said with a smile.James looked into her eyes, but did not smile. He just stared, his eyes on hersnwere apologetic. And just like that, they both silently agreed that it was cool.He pressed his lips to hers, and kissed her. "I love you." He murmured against h

"You say that as if I am under your control or something!" Sarah said, raisin her voice at him."Control? Now you think I am trying to control you? Where do you get these ideas from??" James asked, looking at her in amazement."This is not about where I get my ideas from. It is if those ideas are true or not. James, I need this charity event. It is going to be good for my business and regaining my family's name and financial freedom.""And what if it is just a trap? You said it yourself, something doesn't add up about them. What they are doing does not seem right, or does it?" "I think I already clarified that doubt. Everything is fine, and with the massive turn up for the event, I will have more than hundreds of people making upfront payments to me, just so that I can handle their events." "And then? And then what, Sarah? What next?" James asked her."What do you mean by that? It is all I really need!" She replied angrily."You are not going for that event. And if I have to lock yo

"I know, but this, is exactly what it seems, General." James replied."The Inauguration ceremony is two days from now on, we cannot have any more problems. Sort out the security issues before anymore problems ensue." The General murmured."Yes General." James replied.Although he knew who the man had been referring to when he said Causey was working with someone who had a daughter, he still needed palpable evidence.***Sarah sat back in her office chair, savouring the light of the afternoon, as the knock sounded on her door."Come in!" She called out.The door opened and the woman who was dressed in an emerald green suit, walked in. Her eyes scouring the room in admiration."These are beautiful sets of furnitures. How else can one explain the idea of class, luxury and a gracious ambience if not this office?" The Editorial representative of Forbes whom she had met at the rehearsal for the Charity event complimented her."Thank you so much, Miss Brianne." Sarah smiled."I must say that

"Thank you for the advice. Now, don't ever call me up if it isn't something to do with you and my daughter getting a divorce." Mrs Brown said in a snide manner.Without waiting for a response, she got up and walked out of the restaurant. Sarah woke up that morning to find James gone. It was completely unlike him to just leave without speaking to her or at least letting her know he was leaving.Her phone had already been loaded with tons of messages concerning the charity event. Three people had already reached out to her organization to inform her they would be needing her services the next month."My goodness, basically every week in August is booked! I told you this would be a huge opportunity turn around for you." Viola said to Sarah when they met each other later that day."I couldn't agree more. Just one connect. I can't believe I haven't even done the interview yet and six people have already messaged me to handle their event security and organization.""In no time I would have

"Yes ma'am." The guard replied."Sarah! Oh my goodness, I did not believe you would actually show up!" Viola squealed as soon as she saw Sarah walk into the hall."I love your dress. It is exquisite." Sarah complimented her, before kissing the air beside her cheeks."I can't believe he allowed you to come out at this hour. Are you good? Are you sure?" Viola asked her and Sarah nodded."I don't want you and I to have any problems, Viola. At least for business sake." Sarah responded."I completely understand. I agree totally. I wouldn't want any issues between the two of us either." Viola replied. "Anyway, I am glad you came. There is someone here who would love to meet you.""This is just to prove to you that there will be a lot of people to connect with on the main event day. Sarah, meet Brianne. Brianne is one of the formal Editorial representatives for Forbes magazine. She had a lot of business contacts and event opportunities that could fly your brand in one second.""Wow, it is an

James' eyes flashed. "I knew it was you. It was the same man he had chased round the hotel. The man who had hit him and run away."You trusted the wrong people, but if you tell me everything you know now, I will make sure you get a pardon and not all charges will be knocked on you." James said to him."Tell me why I should trust you." The man said to him."Give me.one good reason why I shouldn't bust up your ass here and light it up like a Christmas tree." James retorted. "Then again I suppose you would not have called me here if you didn't trust me to listen to you first.""I just want their reign of terror to end! First it was my wife and now, me! We are all trapped in this circle of use! We are indebted to that man and he ahs made us his slaves!" The man cried."Let me guess, Causey? Peter Causey?" James asked him."Peter Causey and someone else. I don't know his name, but I know he has a daughter, and he even hired this popular man who ran the great Chen heist." The man responded.

Sarah stared at Viola in consideration of what she had asked her. "How certain are you that all these people would attend?" Sarah asked her."Ask certain as I am of the fact that the darkness would cover the night sky tonight." Viola replied."Fine, I will attend the event, but only for my business sake. But I don't want to see you anywhere close to James. Are we clear?" Sarah asked.Viola rose her hands in surrender. "As you please." Sarah turned around and left. She bumped into Anna on her way heading to the elevator. It surprised Anna that she had been there, but she didn't even stop to apologize for bumping into her.Sarah put the phone to her ear and almost immediately, her assistant's voice came over the phone. "Where are you? "She asked her."Ma'am, I'm at the new office trying to set up." Her assistant responded. Sarah's face morphed into a frown. "What new office?" She asked her."I received your email this morning. Your husband said..." The girl kept quiet out of sudden con
