"Your grandmother?" She asked him."I see you know her, but I would like to get the full information from someone and that someone is your grandfather" he pointed out to her "That's not going to happen, he will become suspicious at once" "I don't care, just get me what I need" he yelled at her."You did not even ask what I did to get the chief to answer me" her face was twisted already. It was obvious she did not like the way the conversation was going.There was silence for some minutes and he didn't respond to her, he just paced about not saying a word."Are you even listening to me?" She stood and tapped him on the shoulder."Oh I can hear you alright, if my guess is right you slept with the Chief of police to make him do your bidding, you can also try that method on your grandfather-" He didn't complete his statement before catching her hands mid way, she tried to slap him, his words had struck a nerve and she was visibly angry."Don't you ever think of doing that again" his vo
The shock on Jake's face was evident to everyone in the room as he watched Aiden closely, what could he be doing here? He wondered.His legs froze to the ground and he could not move a muscle, his mouth opened a bit and his eyes were not blinking.Aiden sat among the board members feeling quite comfortable at the reaction Jake was exuding, his face showed no reaction to Jake stopping at the door but his insides were delighted.When their gazes met as the door opened he showed no expression of someone who had met Jake before, he looked just like everyone else there, although he was pretending to have never met him before."And this must be him," Aiden said and stood up with a broad smile."I've heard so little but enough about you, my long lost cousin".Jake felt a gentle nudge from behind him, it was Max prodding him to move further instead of standing like a pole.He went along with the flow from Aiden, "I can't say the same for you, since I've never had the opportunity to meet any o
It came on fast and he dived into it, there were some segments that were not corresponding with the transactions that have been recorded.Something seems fishy somewhere, it could be that money is being laundered and they might be aware but pretend not to know.The amounts being imputed were correct but on a closer look the balance had a fraction of differences.Now this came as a surprise, someone is sneaking away company's money for their own selfish benefit and trying to blame him for the lackadaisical attitude he wasn't even showing.He'd admit that with the things that have happened, he was a bit detached from work and cared less, but doing this and trying to pin it on him is nowhere near acceptable.He called Max into his office "have a look at this", and turned the computer screen for Max to see it."I don't see what you are trying to imply" Max told him."Come on now, have a closer look, you'll get it soon enough"Then it dawned on Max, "whoever is doing this must be clever as
Do you play golf?", He changed the subject quickly."No, I have never had the chance to" Jake replied. What has golf got to do with the business peopoy he has."That's wonderful, at least I can beat you since you are a novice, there's a mini golf course around the back, it's good for practicing".Jake follows him unsure of what all this meant. They arrived at the golf course and Vladimir took the golf kit and prepared to play.He placed the ball on the ground, ready to strike then looked up at Jake with a serious look in his eyes, " what I'm about to tell you is of benefit to both our companies"."If we work together it will create many more opportunities".Jake watched as he strikes the ball, raising his hand to his forehead to see where it landed."I'm open for whatever you have to say Sir" he handed Vladimir another ball.Vladimir takes a step forward gingerly spreading his legs ready to repeat the process and looked up again. "I have gotten a government contract, it's about diggi
After drinking his coffee he went through the contract Vladimir's secretary sent to his email, he was very proud of himself for bargaining at equal profits.Not having anything to do he decided to tour the building a bit, as he passed by most offices he could hear hushe whispering He could imagine what they were gossiping about, Mr Andrew's resignation, of course nobody would believe that he willingly resigned. But that is the impression he wants to give so that the Media would not catch wind of what's happening inside the company.Most of the workers in the company have not fully accepted him but he doesn't care, if they don't accept him with time they'd have to deal with it if they want to continue working.Tired of walking round he went back to his office, Max was waiting for him inside."I got an anonymous call, the person would not reveal her identity except she speaks with you".Who could that person be, Jake's mind quickly moved to senior Mrs McPherson, but so far this has not
"I said it's to late" Max said surprised at the coolness of his voice in this situation. Jake just stood wide eyed, angry confused and bitter at the same time.Sarah shoved Max away from Ruth "move away from her give her space" her voice came out in sobs. She removed the scarf around Ruth's neck and placed it on the place she was bleeding trying to put pressure on it.With every passing second blood still gushed out from her like a fountain and they were all lost, their mind blank, no idea coming at the moment.Ruth's breath came in short gasps, she was in pain "please, I don't want to die" she cried.Tears that she had been holding came out of Sarah's eyes blurring her vision, who would thought Ruth would be crossed fire, but what did she expect to happen when she carelessly opened fire.Now the person they swore to protect will their due to her selfishness to get those who murdered her family.Anger clouded her judgement and she was not thinking straight, she should have listened to
"I'll be straight with you, I don't know who sent the message"."What do you mean you don't know?" She queried."It's as I said, I do no know, I've been getting messages like this since when Jackson got adopted, at first I couldn't tell who it was from, now I can give three people who would have sent the message to me"."And they are?" She prompted."Fred, Aiden and Shane" he answered."What about the old lady?"."She only sends messages through them,I know she's the one behind them pulling the string"."If they've been sending you messages all this while,why has this one got you upset?".Jake raked his hand through his hair, his voice was taut as he spoke "I suspect that they knew all this would happen, they knew we were going to come with her, they planned for her to die and in that way too"."Do you think they know we buried her?" Her voice shook as she asked this, it would mean all they did was for nothing."If they did know about it they could care less, they were also involved i
Blood spurted out of his mouth as Jake hit him hard, "now you are going to answer my questions"."I'm not saying shit" Shane said as he spat blood, "you think you're all that and yesterday you got someone killed".Jake's fury knew no bounds as he continued punching Shane, he poured all the anger he had into his fist and pummeled him without stopping.By this time, Shane had lost consciousness and sat limply on the chair, Jake wouldn't stop and raised his fist to deliver another blow but someone caught his hand in mid air.He turned to face the person and saw it was Ruth and roughly released his hand from her grip."Stop it" she shouted, "what is the point of all this if you're going to kill him".Jake sneered "he won't die, just a bit of torture to loosen his lips"."He has had enough of that already, let's just wait for him to regain consciousness then we ask the questions"."You're being sympathetic right now, if the case was reversed he would not hesitate to point a gun to your hea
