Before dawn, Dominic had made his way down the block. He didn't want Selena to be aware of the investigation he was conducting hence the reason for the secrecy. He went to the next building opposite him and finally rested against the door. His eyes were a bit tired from exhaustion after the lack of sleep the previous night Pulling out his phone from his pocket, he called his friend. He should be free by now since it was the only time that they were allowed to sleep."Hello, Martel." He spoke.Martel was taken aback by the audacity of the person who called him by his name. This person had to know him deeply to be able to call him by a name that he had forgotten to use." Who am I speaking with?" Dominic chuckled, " Relax, it's me, Dominic. I know that you might already be panicking. I don't see any reason why though." He replied.Martel chuckled, "Well, one has to be very vigilant. You know my real name, I need to be scared. When you call, I know it's something urgent. What happened
Dominic felt a kick in his guts to check out the environment. It was still midnight and no one was outside yet. He stared at the soldiers quarters and saw that there was no light coming out from that place. This was a recipe for disaster. No one needed to tell him that. He quickly jogged to the trailer and locked it from without. He was just to go there and return as soon as possible.These soldiers were a bit careless. How were they supposed to oversee the city when they were physically present?He removed his gun from his pocket slowly and he saw that there was a need for him to check out the back of the cantonment.Now there was something that oppositions should realize about him. He was not someone who was predictable.If they thought that he'd step into the middle of the gate so that they could strike, they were up for a big joke and it was very laughable that they'd want to try him. As he continued, he heard a little snap and he rolled against the floor crawling slowly. The pe
The man fell to the ground and Dominic held him up. "Who sent you?" He asked in a deathly calm voice that would make any sensible person know that something was going on here.The man tried to wiggle his way out of Dominic's grip because he knew what happened to him. He was doomed while thinking that he was still alive. "I hate to repeat myself. If you know that you don't have something to say, may I send you to a place where you'd say more than what's expected of you." He said and the man gulped.His gaze was unsettling. How the hell did the General know where he was in this thick darkness? "I asked a question. I'm expecting an answer." Dominic asked again. There was a reason he was better than many Generals. He allowed his captives to express themselves. Then after seeing that they had nothing to offer he threw them out and sent them to where they belonged. "I was sent by a man. I have never seen him before in my life. I swear! He contacted me via messenger and told me about a co
Dominic finally went out of the trailer because in as much as she meant well for him, he knew that it would do him no good. It wasn't his choice to be always busy but since he found himself in such a situation, he had no choice but to make sure that he found a way to always be on top of his situation.All the soldiers gathered amid the city and he decided to address them. "You all know the attacks that we've faced in the past few days. I hope that nobody is trying to make a gimmick out of any of us because it would end up disastrous on both ends." He began.The men stared at each other wondering what was happening. "An intruder broke into Victoria yesterday and no one could detect him, save my wife and I. What does that say about Victoria? We are weak and defenseless." He responded to his question."You were busy sleeping while on duty and making love with your wives. Is that what I asked you to do?" He inquired and they shook their heads. "Good, now you can see that you've been not
Selena's jaw dropped at the news. This was preposterous! She thought and decided that she had to reach him at all means. It was almost as though she was dreaming.This would make her come out of the trailer and also expose her to the prying eyes. She ignored all of that and navigated her way to the middle of the city where we had seen them stand. Surely, someone was going to answer her well. Why was everywhere silent? She pondered as she trod towards the podium she had seen him standing.A man stared at her from his trailer wondering what the General's wife was doing outside without anyone in sight."Good afternoon, ma'am. Are you looking for someone?" He spoke, causing her to jump.Selena placed a hand on her chest trying to calm her racing heart. She didn't need such shock at the moment. "I'm sorry for scaring you." The man apologized and she nodded, waiting for her heart to start beating normally. Alas, she was disappointed. Her heart still continued racing as though it was on wh
They were startled by her response. " Why are you mute? Weren't you just blabbing a few minutes ago? Then why the sudden delay in speech? I thought you were ready to say anything and everything." Eleanor asked them and they were startled.It was nothing serious, they were just making a joke and some people defended her. "I don't know what you want to achieve but I will teach you all a lesson that you'd never forget in your lives, next time when you hear about me anywhere you'd be afraid." One of the ladies became annoyed at the nonsense that they were doing. "What are you saying? We've not done anything to warrant insults from you at all because I can't recollect us talking about you in a bad light." She replied harshly. "Don't say a word," Her people told her but she was not even in the mood to hear anything that she was about to say.Eleanor was a well respected member of the army but if she continued this way she might soon lose her respect sooner than later. " I don't know what
Selena jumped in front of him when he brought down the sword and it was only the control that he had that made her. escape the hit from that sword. "What the hell are you doing?" The whole city went quiet as they watched their leader thrum with anger. Eleanor's eyes also flew open to see what had happened. She had zeroed her mind so that she wouldn't fear death but she paused when she heard a sneer coming from the General. He would crush her. The promising look in his eyes told her so. He was not here to joke at all ."Get out of my way. I don't want to hurt you." Selena stood her ground, and stared him in the eye. " I won't. You can't expect to kill someone and I would be happy about that. I know she made a mistake but where's the use of pardon? She has been more faithful than other soldiers here. A little fault here and there doesn't make her completely worse." Eleanor began to sob. After all her rude behavior to Selena, she still fought for her. It was as if she had not seen a
Dominic walked out of the trailer, giving Selena a finger sign to stay put. He schools his face, to give a stone-cold appearance.“What do you mean Eleanor is missing?” he calmly asked.The guard trembles before answering “ I don't know how she did it, all we know is she's currently not anywhere inside the holding cell.”Dominic arched his eyebrows as he looked disappointedly at the kneeling guard. “stand up, and face me.” He ordered. “What were you all doing, how did someone who is injured manage to escape, from not one but almost all the guards in the palace?”“I have no idea General” The guard stood up, looking down, too scared to look him in his eyes.“Where are the guards in charge of her, what were they doing when she just so happens to be missing”“General we have no idea, one minute she was there the next moment she suddenly vanished, I don't even know how it happened General.” the guards trembled at the laser-like stare Dominic was shooting his way.“Well if you don't know, w
