Viola got down in front of the Johnson house. She was determined to finish what she and her Father had started.Pedro rushed to the front door at the sound of the doorbell ringing. Viola smiled up at him. He immediately recognized her as the woman he had done the research on."Who are you? And who are you looking for?" He asked her."I am here to meet Mr. Gregory Johnson. He is my Father's very good friend and he invited me over for the holidays." Her reply came as a shock to Pedro.He knew Mr. Johnson was into the underground business, but Rizzo? How was that even possible?"I am sorry. If Mr. Johnson was expecting anyone, he would have let me know. He did not inform me of any such guests. Ul apologize if you would have to wait here for a bit while I go confirm this engagement with him." Pedro said and shut the door in her face, without even waiting for her response."How rude!" Viola grumbled and turned to catch the ecstatic view of the well-carved flowers and trees set around the m
Sarah and James walked past each other with contempt in their eyes. Sarah walked up behind him with the new budget in her hands. She had done the work he had requested of her .She dropped it down on his table."That is the document you asked for the other day. You do not need to go through it now. We have something else to discuss." She said to him.James looked at her and his thoughts immediately drifted to the divorce. He knew that since she was engaged now, she would be interested in getting a divorce.A call came in on his phone and he picked it up."Hello, yes General!" He said into the phone."The new appointment would be released as soon as possible, and we would be more than excited to have you back in the army as a Second Lieutenant in charge of the Armed Forces. Everything would be settled by this Friday. I hope you would be there for the decoration and Commissioning ceremony?" The General asked."Yes Sir! I will be there." A smile passed across his face."Good, thank you f
" Boss, we have everything set up for tonight. Mr. Rizzo wants to know if you and the other guys are ready." Causey's man, who walked into his office, asked him."Yes. Are the guys ready?" He growled out. Causey had been in a nocturnal mood since he returned from William's office. The nerve with which Williams had responded to his confrontation was what set him ablaze. He had the audacity to take from him and still sit with pride. "It was bad enough dealing with that useless James Johnson. But he only pushed him out of the way so that he could have his own way in!" Causey grunted angrily."This is not the way things were planned out, Smith. This is not the way." He sneered out."Sir, the guys have set up already at the location. They said whenever you are ready." His man returned."Put Mr. Antonio Rizzo on the phone." Causey ordered him."No need. " Mr. Rizzo's voice sounded as he walked into Peter Causey's office.His insides shook as he stared at the tall, hefty, grim looking man
Sarah and James walked in together to the party which did not sit well with the Smiths, especially Williams Smith.He watched the way James had his hand on Sarah's back as they walked into the mansion hall. He was about to walk up to them and snatch her out of his arms, but his father's hand gripped his wrist."Where do you think you are going?" Mr. Smith asked him. He turned around and stood in front of Williams."Father, that is my wife-to-be!" Williams stated angrily."And that is her husband I'm aligned with what society knows. You can't just walk up to her and cause a scandal." His father responded.Sarah's black dress clung to her body gorgeously, revealing her beautiful curves. Its glimmering stones left her looking extremely elegant beside James' tall muscular frame.Williams grunted and clenched his fist tightly."This is not the way we agreed for things to play out, Dad and you know that. You have to speak to the Browns. We are their only hope of getting out of Peter Causey'
James turned to face Williams. Sarah clenched her fist as his arm tightened around her waist."Shall I have this dance?" Williams asked her.Mrs. Brown basked in the light of it all. Two rich suitors were fighting over her daughter."Go on, Sarah. Have a dance with the man. He is your fiance after all." She said to Sarah.James' expression remained calm and unaffected, even though within him, he boiled over at the sight of everything. While his eyes stayed down, Sarah's eyes remained on him.His expression was cold and unbothered."I'm not interested in dancing right now," Sarah said and walked away.James followed her movements and watched her walk into the restroom."You seem to not know that Sarah has moved on from you. You should take the hint now, Mr. Johnson." Williams whispered to him, as soon as everyone had dispersed.The hall was a big one, gold chandeliers hung at every major spot of the large hall. James turned to him with a smirk on his face."I see you have nothing impor
"Stay down! If anyone moves, they die!" The men who ahd surrounded the house wore different coloured masks on their faces. They spoke through electronic voices that made it hard to decipher who exactly was speaking.James got up slowly from where he had fallen down because of the attack on the place. He turned to check for Sarah and found her crouched underneath a counter..Her eyes were busy roaming the room in search of something. Hep followed her gaze to where her Father was."Get the safe upstairs!" One of the men shouted out.James snuck around a pillar which was in front of where he stood. Immediately he rounded the pillar, he ran behind another pillar which was in front of him.He scanned the room for Peter Causey and his men, but nobody was in sight. So, who could have been bankrolling the attack?"We are just here to get one thing and then we will leave. If anybody moved, breathes loudly or perhaps coughs... We will not be held responsible for what happens to you. You will al
The old lady who sat beside Sarah began to whimper."What is it, Ma'am?" Sarah asked nervously."I want to use the restroom." The old lady said, and Sarah turned pale. If she dared to speak, she could end up as a casualty."Ma'am, I am sorry but you would have to hold it for just some time. They might harm you if you move." Sarah said in a terrified voice."What is going on here?" One of the men, one who was wearing an eagle mask walked up to them."N-n-nothing. Please, she wants to use the restroom." Sarah said in fear."Okay, I'll help you " the man said. Sarah looked up at him in disbelief and nodded a thank you.He held up his hand to his boss as the women got up.Meanwhile James got to the top floor where the men were still trying to break into the safe. He found the host, Mr. Chen lying unconscious on the floor."What is going on?" He asked them, but they only nodded at the safe."It won't budge. We need more time. Just a few more minutes. Some thirty minutes or so." The man rep
Sarah stared into Jasmes' face as he took off the mask."How did you...? I thought that you were...?" She stammered out."It is fine, Sarah. That is not as important as what we need to do now. Two of their men are dead, and I need you to get in line with me so that we can get out of here alive. Everyone can get out of here alive.Suddenly, the radio on the man began to beep."Hail, come in! Hail, are you there? Come in, over!" The electronic voice called over the radio."What do we do now? If they find out that you killed one of their men, then, they could...they could start killing everyone." Sarah panicked."That is why we have to act this out right." James replied and suddenly, his radio began to make static sounds, and just as soon, a voice came up on it."Rain, come in. What is taking so long, man?" The voice asked."Dark clouds?" Rain called."Who the heck do you think it is, the President??? What the f**k are you both doing in there? This is not the freaking time for this! You
