“ I know your wife is your next of kin. If you don’t sign these papers, I will not spare you this pain you are feeling right now and rip your head off with bullets. I will stay with you here torturing you untill you breathe your last. I will then go straight to your wife and explain all the dirty laudry you have been doing to her and your chidren. I am sure they will be divasted. They will never forgive you even in your grave, that is if they will even want to see your dead body. She might even decide to hand me everything willingly, but if she plays hard, I will force her into signing these papers and I wont care whether she or the children gets hurt.” Jordan spoke.“You are such a cunning son of a bitch!” The man fired. He had kept his shady deeds a top secret from his family. They were christians. There was no way they would forgive him if they learned the truth, and he didn’t want them to have bad memories of him after he
Jordan looked like a real criminal in handcuffs as they arrived at the station. Ana, too, was cuffed. They were dragged into the police room. Inside, they found Jordan’s lawyer, Officer Adamson, and Mr. Jonathan waiting inside.“Jordan!” Mr. Jonathan spoke in an attempt to reach Jordan, but the police officers who had brought him in stopped him.“You are not allowed to go near the culprit, sir! Please keep your distance.” One officer spoke.Jordan remained quiet as he was escorted to his cell, where Officer Adamson took the honor. He would have wanted so much to plead with the officers to let Ana go, but he knew it was all useless. She was accused of being his accomplice.“We will sort this out with your lawyer, Jordan. Don’t worry about it. Everything will be fine.” Officer Adamson said to Jordan as he ushered him to the cell where the detained criminals were singing hails and swinging their tails in ecstasy for gaining a new member. They were so good at molesting, so seeing a newbie
“You have just been basted, boy! Your wings have been crippled already. Wake up from that dream.” De’Luka spoke.“No, De’Luka! I am not a criminal like you. I don’t belong here, and so I will be out before you know it.” Jordan confidently spoke.De’luka laughed bitterly with bits of sarcasm. “You did not just flaud one of the greatest feared persons in the syndicate, but you also murdered him, and the tape is out there for the world to see just what a devil you are. You signed your death certificate the minute you decided to go up against us. We are the law. We made the law, and nobody dared go against us. An idiot like you deserves an award for even trying, but that is not going to happen. You will get a crown but of thorns. Your course in this matter does not matter at all. You are going down, kid!” De’Luka hissed. He knew how well protected they were by high-ranking authorities. Jordan was nothing but
“This man has been such a bad boy out there. He has caused a lot of pain to a lot of innocent people. He has robbed and even killed. I want you boys to make him experience all that pain he has inflicted on people.” Jordan spoke.De’Luka came out from Jordan’s back and stood a distance from Jordan and far from the men who seemed too warmed up by Jordan’s offer than De’Luka would have liked. “What in the devil’s name are you trying to do here, Jordan? Plotting murder in a jail? I will have…”“Have me arrested? Do you think you still have a say in this world?” Jordan spoke to the old fool.“It does not matter whether I have something to say or not, young man. The fact still remains that what you are doing is wrong. You are technically asking them to kill me! It is a crime, and you are committing it right in the police station! Has money turned you into a senseless fool or what? I don’t blame you because it must be so difficult for you to handle such money when you have never had a solid
“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
