As Henry knelt in that dark forest with his hands behind his head, and a gun pointed to his chest, he thought about his life.“So this was the end?” He thought. He thought of how he had lived his life. Was he happy? Did he go after what he wanted? What of his parents? He wondered what they would think of him. And Damien. Maybe if he died now, it would be okay. Maybe he and Damien would have a good laugh. Damien would laugh at him for sweating now. He had known from the look of the people who had him under gun point, they were out to kill him. At first, he thought it was a kidnap but now he knew better. He knew they were sent by someone but then, why covet your face. It was of no use, since they were going to kill Henry. Henry wondered who and who were behind the mask. Did they cover up because he knew them? Well that didn’t bother him for long as he knew he was going to die.“ boss we have him here” a voice on the phone said.“ Yes sir” he replied.“Henry Barlow. You cane into the
Dex’s POVI woke up to voices arguing. I got out of bed, my little feet barely making it to the floor and I jump down. Everywhere is so dark that I can’t even see my hands or my next step.Where is mum and dad? I walked down the hall way. Then suddenly there was a bright light plunged in my face. Strong hands held my face in place as the light illuminated downstairs, at the siting room, I could see mum and dad knelling with hands on their backs.“Dex! Close your eyes!” then the next thing I hear is a string of gunshots and mum and dad fell limp to the ground. Their blood splattered on the white cushion.“NO!!!!!!!!!!” I yelled*******“Where the hell is Luther?” Dex thundered. He was growing impatient by the minute. He had shot and killed a bunch of people but he still had not seen Luther. He was lucky that before Luther could act, he had arrived. He shot all the ones, he had asked to shot the ones he had bribed. He shot anyone who was willing to cooperate and took over the house.
One month later.Henry was happy as some people congratulated him on being the second in command. He didn’t think he would reach this height in such a short time.When Max heard that, he was elated and couldn’t wait to go back to the house. Henry told him he wouldn’t be coming back to the house. He prepared some money and he was to go to school to study. Amidst all the celebration, Henry had noticed that he didn’t see Lukas. Lukas had not even come to congratulate him on it. He felt weird but he thought it was his arrogant side speaking. Luther was happy and gave the whole of Henry and his group, including Lukas a vacation trip to reward them. They had gone to the Caribbean. ******Though Lukas kept behaving like he had been forced on the trip, henry didn’t let that prevent him and the others from enjoying the trip. But he didn’t ignore the fact that Lukas had changed. He was not goofy or lively anymore. If he was being honest, Lukas was annoying.******“Truth or Dare” Lukas said s
Lukas was jealous and it was obvious even to the blind. He didn’t understand why Luther had given the second in command title to Henry. He had just got here. He didn’t know how the affairs of the mafia was run. He was just a young boy he showed careless bravely. He hoped Henry would get killed while putting himself on the line for others, but that was not the case.They had gone many jobs and each of them Henry showed good leadership character. It Irked Lukas Greatly.“I am so happy he is the second in command” Martha, the head cook announced Lukas looked at her irritatingly. He had come to hang out in her room.“Not you too” Lukas said.“Come on he is good” She said defensively.“I thought you were Dex’s person” Lukas said as he sat up.“Yes I was but now he is dead” she said. Lukas shut his eyes and ground his teeth. Everyone was singing Henry’s praise. He was disgusted.He stood up and grabbed his keys.“Where are you going?” she asked.“Anywhere as far it’s not here. You guys di
Henry was no fool, he understood what was going between him and Lukas. He noticed that he slept most times. He didn’t attend to most jobs, he was always MIA. He heard from reliable source that he was talking with outside people and had a business. Things like this could make Luther forget a bullet on his head but he couldn’t report him. He was still his friends. Whenever Henry got pissed, He remembered the three of them. When Damien was still alive. He couldn’t report him.One thing Henry feared was that, when he would be pissed beyond his capacity, he might not be able to hold it in. He could be the one putting the bullet in Lukas’ head.He was coming back from a jog when his phone rang. It was a Laura. She had fled the country on Luther’s orders.“ hi babe” she said. Laura had been giving Henry clues. Asking him if they were now a couple. Henry didn’t know how to handle it do he avoided the question. He had thought that if he got to find Damien’s murderer, he would be at peace, bu
Unaware of what he had done, Lukas went around town, clubbing. He thought of a perfect plan to seal his mother’s mouth. He knew she was a greedy woman.“Lukas will you come here right this instant! Don’t you dare walk out on me” his mother shouted at the peak of her voice. He stopped in my tracks and turned to her.“Mum, could you please tone down your voice.” Lukas frowned “Lukas you can’t keep going to parties every weekend. What of work?” she said as she kept following me around like a puppy. Her voice composed this time.“Mum please leave work alone for me. Right now I just want to unwind. “He knew just the best thing to shut her up. He went into his car and took out wads of cash. He estimated the amount. It was triple of the amount he always gave to her. She smiled shyly as he stared at the money. He knew his mother to well. She was a gold digger that was why she ended up with a liar like his father.“Now mum, if you would excuse me I have somewhere I have to be” Lukas said ki
Once in the comfort of his hotel room, Lukas then began to read to read the diary like book.******14/2/1846I felt cheated and played. What did he take me for? A fool? The bag containing the medicines I had made for him, dropped to the ground, the moment I looked and I locked eyes with him. He said something to the people with him and with that he took giant strides towards me but I ran off.I ran and he ran after me.“Where are you going?!” I heard him shout in that Baritone that I have grown to love. I didn’t answer him as I increased my pace.“Liar! Stay away from me!” I shrieked as I ran. Tears began to spill from my eyes but I wiped it off immediately. I dare not let him know how, he affected me. I thought I was far from him as I didn’t get to hear him again. Just as I was about to turn, huge hands grabbed me and picked me up. I turned to find out that it was him.“Where are going to?!” If you leave here, you would be as good as dead” he warned.“Where I go is none of your bus
Henry paced the balcony. He couldn’t sit or stand. All he imagined is how he would either out a bullet in Lukas’s head or choke the living daylight out of him. Luther was mad at him. “Have you seen him?” came Luther’s voice the moment he stood at the entrance of his room. Henry bowed his head. “No” he was ashamed of himself for not nipping Lukas in the bud. He didn’t know what he was waiting for. The arrest and the call to Luther that afternoon was the most embarrassing call he had to endure. Luther was giving him one word answers. He had to use his brain to decipher the real meaning of what Luther was saying. As he stood there, he was expecting that Luther would go on a rant. Telling him how he was disappointed him and all. He shut his eyes waiting for it come. When he came he had expected Luther to slam the door on him. But Luther did none of that. Rather Luther sat facing the window. He didn’t even spare him a glance. “When the boy comes in, be sure to tell me. Don’t cover up
