Con went to bed with a full stomach and a sweet goodnight from his landlady. That wasn't part of the favor he had asked of her though.He wouldn't be peeping at her again from now on, since they were friends now. That would be too bad of him.An alarm woke Con up the next day and he groaned as he slammed it off. He couldn't go late to work again and Jane had begged him to come early so he wouldn't be fired.He couldn't ignore the pleas of a beauty like her, so here he was, awake at five thirty in the morning and about to prepare for work.Con barely registered taking his bath and brushing his teeth. He hated waking up early in the morning. That was one of the main reasons he always got to work late.Con slipped on his clothes and smiled at the brightening sky. Because of the recent climate changes Glover city now had longer mornings and shorter nights. For some weird reason having the sun in the sky always made Con feel better and more energetic.Con walked out his door and turned
Con scanned his surroundings for signs of whoever might be following him and taking pictures of him.It was just six thirty in the morning for crying out loud. What the hell was someone doing taking pictures of someone else at six thirty in the morning?Whoever was doing this probably had a death wish, or maybe they were some kind of pervert.Con looked around again and saw some of the people who had been looking at him avert their eyes. They were just normal people who were coming out to open their stores and get work started for the day.They would look at anybody that passed by, so they really didn't count. The main person he was looking for was nowhere to be found.In fact there was no one with a camera on them as far as his eyes could see.So why did he always keep on hearing that clicking sound then?Con turned and continued on his way to work. He would catch this person, whoever it was, and he would scare them off so they could desist with the constant picture taking.Having p
Melissa Hollow was one of the biggest names in fashion. She was a beautiful young lady of northern descent and with her father as a major supplier of almost all essential raw materials needed to create anything really noteworthy in the fashion industry, some could say that her family basically ran the business.Of course her influence was most strong in Glover City.But it wasn't really her influence Jane wanted them to rely on.It was the influence of the almost one million women that followed her on social media, among which many of them were also influential women in their various fields of expertise.It should be easy getting a woman to do something for her fellow woman right? Jane replied in the negative when Con asked her. In this case and due to the sort of person they were dealing with, it would be extremely hard.To begin with Melissa was a very snobbish person. She would never take notice of you or help you if she wasn't getting something in return, and in this case Nurai
Three more bullets had been shot at the building before Con could convince the male HR manager to hand him a gun.John looked at him warily before handing him the gun."How are you sure you're not going to kill someone?"Con repressed a sigh and ran his hand through his hair instead."I know what I can do with a gun, I also know what type of weapon is being used to fire those shots and trust me when I say whoever is shooting at the building isn't joking. They're going to seriously hurt someone if we do not take action."The male HR manager still didn't seem convinced and Con didn't really blame him to be honest.Handing over a gun to a security guard was against the rules. Con was a low rank security guard too and to the best of John's knowledge he probably had no training, a short temper, and he was always goofing around.Even he wouldn't hand a gun over so hastily to someone that behaved the way he did. But there were a lot of things that the HR manager didn't know about him and th
Jake walked over to his ringing phone and picked it up.He had a call and the name Dadris was flashing repeatedly on his phone. Jake sighed and took the cigarette he had in his mouth out.The heady feeling he had been basking in a mere moment ago was gone now and he felt annoyed.Couldn't he take one day off to enjoy himself? He had given them a simple task, even allocated a huge amount of money to make sure they did the job well. So what was so hard in shooting at a building that he still had to receive a call?Jake pressed the button to answer the call and put it on loudspeaker."Bosss, isss that you?"Dadris was still suffering from the effects of his cracked jaw. He now had this silly lilt to the way he spoke, dragging out the ssss with a lot of spittle in his mouth."Give the phone to someone who can speak well. I'm not in the mood to be annoyed."Jake felt a shiver run down his spine as his secretary took his hand and led him over to the bed. He had just come out of the showers
Lana Caswell was the wife of Jake Caswell.She was known for her good looks and top notch skill as an actress. She had starred in many movies both in Glover City and a number of international blockbusters, and she had married Jake out of obedience to her parent's wishesLana had grown up in Glover city herself and so had her parents. They were grimly determined to make sure that she had a say in the affairs of the city, and since the mayor's son was already married, they arranged a meeting for her and Jake, and subsequently they had arranged their marriage too.Jake had treated her like she was the world at first and for a moment Lana had actually thought that she would come to love him and build a family with him, but she knew better now and it hurt her that she did.It really hurt her.Lana looked around at the house. Her house.This was the house her parents had gifted her and Jake after their marriage. It would have gone to her brother, if he was still a part of the family and on
Con handed the rifle back to John and nodded at the HR manager. The man had a concerned look on his face.Some things just weren't making sense about this particular guard. A lot of things weren't making sense but he couldn't really point out what.John knew the day Con had been hired. He was the one who had hired Con himself. He had conducted an interview for him and the background info Con had given about himself wasn't anything out of the ordinary.His name was Constantine Easton. He was single and both his parents were deceased. He had some experience in the military and he was now living in the city. He wanted to become a security guard at Nurain.John had found that military experience a noteworthy enough subject to probe and he had inquired further about that from him, but the young man had only said it was nothing really, that he just helped his uncle who was in the military from time to time and that he also trained with them.John wouldn't have hired Con if not for the fact
Xavier couldn't believe his eyes. He had found his boss. The smile on his face was a weird one. It was one that was mixed with fear and happiness, and he felt like crying. This was his boss! The legendary God of Mercenary. Leader of the Teutonic knights. His boss was right here before his very eyes, and he was in a guard's uniform? Con on the other hand felt like spitting blood. To begin with, how had Xavier found him? He was using an old fashioned telephone and an article he had read once said signals from such phones were much harder to trace. And there was also the question of why had Xavier come to find him too? If it was anyone else, Con would have felt anger rushing through him at the fact that his orders had been disobeyed, but he never got angry at his men because they never disobeyed his orders. Their relationship was simple like that. For Xavier to be here, something had to have happened, or something was about to happen. Adeline and Jane passed inquisitive look
