James followed behind Sarah quietly waiting for her to reach her car. Sarah got into the car and waited for William's call.

The message came in about five minutes later, while she was waiting in the car for him. It was a popular restaurant, and she instructed her driver to take her there. She got down and walked into the restaurant when they got to the location.

James had tapped into her phone earlier that night while she was dressing up. He turned on her location and knew exactly where she was headed as soon as he saw the GPS run.

The Pirates restaurant was a popular eatery that everyone knew of. Yet, he knew that it was owned by one of the Smith family business associates.

"Why choose one that belonged to a family friend?" James asked himself.

Williams or sat in the restaurant waiting for Sarah. The minute he saw her walk in, a smile spread across his lips.

She looked beautiful and he wished he did not have to hand her over to Peter Causey, and could keep her for himself. She was sm

    Williams woke up a few minutes later to his phone vibrating off the hook. He picked it up and saw that he had missed several calls from his men and a few clients as well.Peter Causey was such a bastard, why did he have to backstab him that way? They had agreed he would not be touched or hit in the face.He dusted off his jacket, and made for the front of the restaurant where his driver was parked waiting for him to arrive.He got into the car and instructed him to drive off immediately. If things went as they had agreed, then Sarah would not know that he had anything to do with what had happened to her.He continued to call her phone so that it seemed as though he had been searching for her."Sir, you're bleeding." The driver said to him."I know that I can feel it. Keep your eyes on the road." He said to him."I'm sorry Sir." The driver replied.Williams pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his nose and lips. The hit had been so hard, that he passed out immediately.

    James heard Sarah's scream from outside the building. His car was parked in a shrub bush close to the gate. He could see Peter Causey's men laughing amongst themselves. The lecherous fools were joking about having their own warmers for the night."Man, I wish I had a girl for myself honestly." One of them hitnthe the other one on the right chest.They were five guards out in total."Man, it's so cold out here, you got a smoke?" He heard another guard ask as he walked into James' view.The men continued to discuss. They were armed with guns and knives. One of them pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the guard who asked. There was alternate route from the angle James stood at, and armed with two guns and a knife , he decided to create a distraction.He stayed low behind the bush that surrounded the building and thought to get to the side of the building where he could climb over the fence, but he knew that would not work either.So, He continued to move steal

    The pistol stared Peter Causey bare in the face as he moved back and let his man's limp body fall to the floor with a thud. James kept his mask on and his gloved hands continued to hold onto the trigger."What do you want?" Peter Causey asked him. "Money? A car?! Take anything you want! I'll hand you ten million dollars if you want!" Peter said but James simply stared at him in silence. He kept towards Causey, and he kept moving backward until he came to a wall and couldn't move forward.He shut his eyes tightly as the gun touched his forehead. James smiled at him. Shooting him would be too much.James grabbed his hand and pushed him into a chair near the Wall where Peter stood. Placing the gun in the belt, Peter grabbed an extra rope that lay on the floor and tied him with it."You have no idea what you are doing. You will regret this. I will find you, whoever you are.James did not want to be recognized and do, he kept quiet, ignored his threats, and tied him up anyway. The minute Pe

    Williams walked into his family house the next morning with a bruised eye and a bloodied shirt. His Father, Mr. Smith looked up at him, from the papers in his hand. His mother had already gone to see the breakfast preparations."What happened?" His father's voice boomed, startling him. The living room was lit with low light and the curtains were yet to be drawn.Their Victorian villa had a somewhat 90s touch to it, with old flowery leather couches and a round set center table. The fireplace was modern but still set with logs of wood.Williams walked up to the switch and turned on the lights. He stares at his Father who had seen him in the light streaming in from the foyer."What trouble did you go looking for now?" He asked Williams.Williams touched his bleeding nose and found a little trickle of blood dripping out."This is not the time to make jokes, Dad. Where is Mother?" He asked."In the kitchen with the others, doing magic." Mr. Smith replied. He took down his leg which was pro

    Sarah turned in her bed, her head hurt really badly and she was not sure what had happened to her after she passed out in the car."James..." She sat up quickly and looked around her surroundings. She found that she was sitting in her bed and in her apartment.The curtains had been drawn slightly, and the sun was lightly streaming into the room. Her head continued to throb as she placed her hand on it.There was a plaster there, at the back of her head. Had she been injured? She asked herself.Her phone lay on the bedside table plugged into its charger.She unplugged it and picked it up, it was off. She turned it on and found that she had several missed calls, from Williams."Williams..." She thought. She had seen him get punched in the face after she had become so drowsy she couldn't even walk.She gasped as she thought that perhaps something may have happened to him.As she dialed his number to call him and find out how he was doing, the door pushed open, and James walked into the r

He wondered about it as he sat in the passenger seat next to the driver.They parked outside the Belmont, an open spaced coffee shop, with a wide organization of umbrellas and coffee tables outside.

    Williams was on the verge of breaking James Johnson's face. What was all the suspicion about? As he watched Sarah's car drive away, it worried him that James would fill Sarah's head with his suspicions.He did not want Sarah feelintor even thinking for one minute that he had anything to do with what had happened to her. But it also made him curious at the same time. Who was this James Johnson Character? And how did he manage to outsmart over ten guards in Peter Causey's house? He picked up his phone as he stared at Sarah's car driving off. A strict, bass voice came over the phone."Yes Boss." The voice said to him."I need you to carry out an indepth background search on a certain itch for me. A certain James Johnson person." He said to the man."James Johnson? Like the one associated to the Brown family? Sir, I already have Intel on him." The man replied.William's brows rose in inquisition. How was that possible?"How is that?And why is that?"

She had not seen anyone following behind her when she walked into the building."Williams!" She exclaimed in shock. He stood by her office doorway with a smile plastered to his face."Come in." She said to him as she took her seat. He sauntered into the office, and sat in the chair across from her. She was dressed in a purple duchess short dress, that hung in folds at band of the dress which was cinched at her waist.Williams slowed his gaze travel down the visible length of the dress."You look beautiful." He said to her with a smirk on his face."Thank you." Sarah replied modestly."So, it is white surprising to see you here I missed your calls yesterday, is everything okay?"

    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
