Sarah felt an unusual tiredness around the discussion. For certain, this time, she was not going to doubt James again. She turned away from Jasmine and continued eating her food quietly.James walked into the General's office where he had a meeting with the President and the Captain regarding the Security arrangements for the upcoming event."Sir, I have made arrangements for twelve security officers outside the building. It is awareness that there will be certain plans to attack the base while the officers are away. We need to keep some of our able men guarding the post.""Such attacks are meant to be confirmed before action is taken," James commented as he walked in."Johnson, I am glad you could make it. Please have a seat." The President said to him. The President was a tall, white-haired man with grey eyes and straight lips.He smiled at James as he spoke to him. Whereas, the Captain threw James an offensive look."Yes, these claims have been strongly confirmed." The Captain repl
The Captain stared after James angrily, as he picked up his phone and dialed a number on his phone."We need to talk right away, something just came up." He cut the call.As James walked across the street to get to where his car was parked, a car drove past him with such speed nearly running him over.He jumped over the car and fell to the other side of the street where his car was parked. The driver stopped and when they saw he was moving, they drove away speedilyA couple of passersby rushed up to James to check if he was okay, and they helped him up to his feet. He had a little blood on his shirt and from where he scratched his arm on the slab."Are you okay, Mister?" A man asked him."Yes, I am fine. Thank you." James got up."You're bleeding!" One of the women there yelled out. "I'll call a Doctor right away." She said pulling out her phone."Did you see what car it was?" James asked the man who helped him up."Yes an Esquire Jeep. Red, what are you...?""Thank you." James thanke
Mr. Brown walked into the United Bank building again, but this time he was stopped at the door by the Secretary."I'm sorry Sir, you can't go in today." She said to him rudely."Why not?" Mr. Brown asked back. He held his briefcase close to his side as he spoke."The General Manager of the bank received a call this morning and before he stepped out, he instructed us that you are not to be let into the bank to speak with anyone except he is around. I'm sorry, Mr. Brown, but you will have to leave." Mr. Brown looked around him cautiosly, unsure whether this was some sort of coded plot by Mr. Curtly to keep the black mailers at bay."That's fine. I'll come back tomorrow." He said and walked out of the building. As soon as he stepped out the door, a black venza stopped in front of him and the windows rolled down.Williams Smith stared up at him and unlocked the car door for him to come in. Mr. Brown looked down at him warily, tempted to run from him. But his feet remained stuck.He looke
And his eyes were glistening with tears. Williams stared at Mr. Brown's heaving frame. He was certain that he had seen the evidence the journalist who called him had sent."I don't know why you think I would not pull this trigger on you right now if you don't get out of this car, get into that Bank, and pull out all the money I asked for.""Like I said, go ahead and shoot. Williams, you won't shoot me. You know why? Because you need me alive for you to blackmail me, and I don't care!""Yes! I don't care because I do not have a dime! Go ahead make a mockery of yourself and visit the bank yourself. Make inquiries. Check all my accounts, assets fundings, vaults! Safes! Do it all in my name and you will know how needy I am.""Then take it to the press and have them release it. If you do that, I would be extremely grateful to you. You know why? This nonsense of me having money somewhere you all know nothing about would end and I would gain my freedom of movement again."Williams gave him a
Sarah sat in her office at the apartment, trying to speak with some partners and clients. Slot of work had gone on without her knowledge, and it had taken the grace of her personal assistant to inform her about it.Her waist ached from having sat down for so long. "Yes, for the charity event that is coming up, Mr. Rizzo would like to be on the call right now. Was just chatting with his daughter and she would also like to be invited to join the call." Her personal assistant said to her."Sure, please put them on." Sarah replied. She had successfully ticked off some things off her list and it felt good." Sooner than she had thought Mr. Rizzo and Viola joined the call. They seemed to have joined from different computers."Mr. Rizzo, it is good to have you on the call with us, and you too Miss Viola. Please, we were just discussing the basic things we would need for the upcoming charity event. I am sorry that I have not been my best, but my Assistant has been very efficient so far."Sar
Sarah was surprised to hear that Viola had already finalized things with the event center when she was not even aware of it."Oh! I see. Then there wa really no need to discuss it with us, now was there?" She joked. Viola took the biting comment personal and retorted quickly."We just thought to keep everyone updated. We were equally surprised to not have received information about the said event center outside town. I guess we have all been event center hunting then." "That is fine. We can all agree to disagree, to agree again that this is the best option for us all. Anyway, what is left on the agenda should be run by Viola in my absence. Let us not have diverse opinions.""There is little time for diversities to set in when the event is already approaching at a fast pace." Mr. Rizzo inputed.Sarah nodded her head dutifully. It was not really going to be an issue for her. She was also partially being offensive because of hormones."I'm sorry If I was out of line, my nerves are all o
Sarah woke up to the sound of fhe machine whirring beside her. The nurse was running a scanner over her arm. The nurse smiled at her."How are you feeling today, Miss Brown?" She asked her with a smile."I feel weak. What happened to me?" Sarah asked the pretty nurse."You digested a harmful substances that could have harmed you and your baby." The nurse replied.Sarah's eyes widened "What? How's my baby?" She asked the nurse."The baby is fine, Ma'am. Do not worry. Your husband brought you here at the right time. We were able to get the poison out before it did any damages to your baby." Sarah breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her belly lightly."Where is my husband?" Sarah asked her. The nurse looked up at her charts and then looked out the open curtain."He was right outside when I got in here, but I think he has left. Is there anything you need me ti get for you, Miss Brown?" She asked her."No, not at all. I would simply like to see my husband. Thank you." She replied.James
Mrs Brown walked into the hospital room and pulled Sarah into a hug."Are you okay? How's the baby?" She asked her, looking extremely concerned."The baby is fine, mum." Sarah replied. Mr. Brown was right behind her.She pulled a seat. "Who could have done this to you? I mean, that is a very outrageous thing to do! Poison?? But why?"Sarah eyed her mother closely. She did not know what to make of her current attitude towards the situation. Was it possible she was pretending?"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Mrs Brown asked Sarah. She caught the way Sarah watched her."Nothing mother, i was just wondering, you know." Sarah replied. "What were you wondering, Sarah?" She asked her."How come you came to my house with the cupcake guy and then I end up in the hospital." Sarah said."You went to see Sarah? I thought you said you were at the nursing home?" Mr. Brown asked her.Mrs Brown became nervous."Y-y-yes, I was at the nursing home before I went to see Sarah. But my goodnes
