“Jordan!” Ana ran to Jordan the moment he appeared at the reception. They hugged tight, but not for long before they pulled away.“Are you okay?” Jordan asked her, holding her face while the officer proceeded ahead to have a talk with Jordan’s lawyer and Mr. Jonathan.“I am okay, you?” Then she smiled, shaking her head. “Ooh, well. What am I even asking? Are you even normal? Like, are you a real human?” She asked as she scanned Jordan. It was still a mystery how the man was alive. She wanted so much to know what the mystery behind what happened in front of her eyes was.“I know you have a lot of questions, but not here. Let us first hear what they have to say, and then we can talk at home. Is that okay?” He asked.His finger was still under her chin. If she had not witnessed some kind of dead body coming back to life, she would have melted already for having Jordan that close. But her eyes were busy scanning the flawless body that had been torn by bullets a while ago. The body had bee
“Speak to us, Jordan. I am much more angry than anyone here. Are you a human being?” Mr. Jonathan spoke, and indeed, true to his words, he seemed like he was fighting hard to curb his shock, whose results were inutile.Jordan cleared his throat first. He knew he could not hide it anymore. Things had already blown out of proportion. No one could tell how the sensitive information that had just leaked out would affect his life from that moment on. One thing was for sure, though: Jordan needed to be wary of his life more than ever. “I am human, and that goes without a doubt. I suppose by now you all know my family background.” Jordan paused, looking around them to see if anyone was in the dark about his origin. Forget about his'savior' because he didn’t care one bit about leaving her ganging or floating. She didn’t deserve to know.And unfortunately, she happened to be the first to speak up. “Well, I don’t.” She snapped before Jordan could speak again, walking closer to them until she wa
“Officer?” Jordan said while still glaring at the lady.“Yes, Jordan.” The officer responded."Jost, how did this lady save me so that I could know exactly how I should thank her? How is her video helpful in my case? It seems the lady is so thirsty for some applause.” He asked, now turning to the officer, while the lady rolled her eyes and murmured some curses.“Well, the video clearly shows that you did not hurt any innocent person. You even helped them flee from the scene, which is a good sign. As for the guards, we can argue that it was self-defense since they opened fire first despite you talking to them against it. And as for Mr. Osman, he shot you first, and not just one bullet but four of them. You have a case, Jordan, but we have so many valid, arguable points, and that is all thanks to this lady for taking that video. The greatest mistake she committed was uploading it.” Officer Adamson explained.Jordan turned to the lady. “Thank you, but next time, do not try to be a heroin
Everything was settled in court and Jordan was free to leave with Ana and their new foe in sheep's clothing. The good part was that Maruela's cloak was a bit transparent, giving room for Jordan and Ana to be weary with her.---------------About an hour later, Jirdan arrived home with Ana and Mariela. The lady had managed to penetrate into Jordan and Ana. Her plan was working, and Jordan was already plotting his next move on the his next target."You can make yourself comfortable here. Ana and I will be in the study for a while." Jordan said when they were in the living room. "I am just new here. I will just get bored. I don't even know the way around the house. What will I do all alone here?" Mariela snapped. She wanted to stay as much close to them as possible so that she could be always in the know of what they were planning. Only then could she have valid and exhilarating information to make the call to her targets. "Exactly the point, Mariela. You are new. You are a stra
"It is me, boss Elias, Mariela!" Mariela spoke with fear. She was not sure how the man would react at the very start."Why are you calling? I heard your boss is dead. Are you looking for work?" The man spoke in a deep hoarse voice. He had heard the news. Everyone had. And everyone in their group was sick worried for their lives and safety. "No, boss. I am not in search of a job for I have already found myself one. However, you and I need to discuss my salary." Mariela spoke."You and I? You are not working for me. You and I have nothing to discuss." The man was getting pissed off. The lady seemed to be bluffing something that he did not quite understand. "Not directly, but I am." Mariela said as she looked up to make sure her conversation was safe. She spoke again when she was sure she was safe. "I have something interesting for you and the whole group."The man stopped smoking. He stood on his feet. "What are you talking about?" He asked."I know by now you know what happened to y
"Have you received all the information I needed?" Jordan asked through the phone.Officer Adamson was perched in his seat in the middle of the night in his seat. Before him sat some files on the desk. He had been perusing through them one after another but returned to the first page when Jordan called. "Yes. Dominic Raul was once a police officer. He was sucked from office and jailed for corruption and fraud for two years. After prison he started the smuggling business . He is returning in the country in two days. His networth is 80 Trilion dollars." He spoke."80 Trillion." Jordan wondered out loud. The amount was mind-boggling. "I thought De'Luka was the richest." He said."It seems he has a lot of undercover properties that no one knows about." The officer said."What time is he arriving arriving? And where is his next stop after landing?" Jordan asked."He is arriving at 11 in the morning and then he is meeting the governor at a his private Villa at twelve." The Officer spoke."
When they reached to the door of the study room, Ana was surprised to learn that Mariela knew exactly the door to the study. "I didn't know that you knew this room." Ana stated.Mariela shrugged. "I just guessed." She said.'Guessed, huh!' "You must be gifted with strong guessing abilities." Ana remarked.All the same, they went on inside, and found Jordan scrolling through his laptop. "We brought you some food, Jordan." Mariela spoke as Ana rested the tray in front of Jordan."Mmh. I love the aroma. And I am so hungry." Jordan said as he looked at ana who was still a bit shy from that accidental kiss they had shared. None of them had said a word about it after.She just smiled shyly.Mariela wanted to have a sneak peek at what Jordan was starting at the laptop, but Ana read her mind. "Will you help me clear the table a little bit, Mariela? We can not place the plates on top of the files." She said.Mariela cursed inside
"Boss? I have some information that will interest you." Mariela spoke as she slammed the kitchen door shut. Ana hurried behind her and leaned on the door. "What kind of information do you have?" Boss Elias asked with a flat tone."Something that will shock you, boss." Mariela said."I hope it is something important. Do you know who their next target is? When are they planning their next attack?" Elias asked."Yes, boss. I have managed to fully infiltrate them. I have made them believe that I am on their side. I now know who and when they are planning to attack. And you won't believe who it is." Mariela said. She was pacing back and forth with restlessness and worry. She had managed to fool Jordan and Ana and got the information that she needed, or so she thought, but the information was contrary to what she would have imagined. "I can not guess. Tell me who it is and when so that I can mobilize the group." Boss Elias said."You, boss¡¡¡” Mariela said.The man sprung up from his fee
