Derek stood and made sure that his men stuffed the two women into the van.His cruel nature would not ease anytime soon. He was dead serious about putting them through trauma and eventually destroying their lives and the evidence which he thought he had completely destroyed.“What do we do next boss?” His secondhand man asked, standing before him like an obedient slave and waiting for his instruction.“I do not know to what extent these cunts have gone with this case but I want to believe that it will end if we blow them both up.”A sneer appeared on his face as the secondhand man's face was etched with shock.“Blow them up?” The man asked, his widened eyes gradually closing up. “As in you mean with a bomb?”Derek laughed hysterically, waving his hand at the man in a dismissal form.“Of course. As in blow them up with a bomb. Do you not agree with this?” The younger man started to nod and then shook his head.“Not like I have a problem with this but I hope that this would not end up b
“We need to split up now!” Marcus howled at his friend Sam as they ran deeper into the forests, turning back occasionally to shoot at the men who were heavily coming after them.“Why?” Sam shrieked, trying to take cover behind a tree bark as a bullet came flying towards them.“Durk!” He yelled at Marcus and Marcus lay down flat and the bullet landed on a tree bark, piercing through it.Marcus quickly aimed and fired at the shooter's leg. The shooter groaned as the bullet hit his left foot, causing him to collapse to the ground in a thud.His loud groans filled the air. He was the last man who was close to them. Others were far off and Marcus and Sam could not keep waiting till they got to them.“That was close…” Sam grinned from the shock he felt and pulled Marcus up.“These men are dangerous yet weak and not entirely trained,” Marcus said, and they both scoffed at the wailing one.The men were not that close anymore but they needed to make a decision fast.“Why do we need to split up
Sam raced back to the location where he heard the gunshot come from. The forest was large and finding it was a bit hard but when he got there, he was relieved to find Derek holding his bleeding arm and Marcus was surrounded by the Police.“Oh… good gracious,” he exclaimed as he got closer to them. “I heard the gunshot and I thought they'd killed you,” Sam howled, getting closer to Marcus.“He would have,” Marcus replied with a smirk, “unfortunately for him, the police closed in and fired at him faster than he could at me.”“Hmm…so much for your years of training Mr Derek,” Sam cajoled and he and Marcus began to laugh.“Make fun of me all you can, gentlemen. I'd eventually get the last laugh and I will laugh it best.”He sneered at them and smiled maliciously.“You think so highly of yourself Derek,” Marcus mocked him and shifted closer to him. “He is government property now,” he declared loudly, motioning for the police to come and put him in the cuffs. “He has got a lot of answering
The search was endless and was beginning to seem futile. Frustration was building up within Marcus and the police officer and Sam. There was no sight of the ladies anywhere.“The cruel fellow said we have only five minutes. We are already two minutes less!” Marcus groaned. He was deeply worried about the safety of the girls and would not want anything to happen to them.“We are trying sir,” Sam reminded him subtly. “We just need to maybe split up again,” Marcus suggested, taking the right turn even before others agreed to the split up suggestions.“What exactly are we looking for? As in, in what condition did he leave them?” The police officer asked Sam as they went ahead to the left.“I doubt that he mentioned that. It cannot be a very good condition. I am thinking they might be locked up in an underground basement around here, a cave or a van.”“Keep your eyes on the game, both of you,” Marcus warned and kept going farther into the bush.He was not sure why he took that turn but he
Camelia breathed hard, gasping for breath. It was then that fresh tears rushed down her cheeks.“You did it, Marcus…” she whispered through her tears, her lips shaking.“I suppose I did,” Marcus replied, standing up and wiping his sweaty face. “It was a bit difficult getting those wires apart. But I am glad that I could save you both.”“Thank you Marcus,” Jessica squealed, breathing heavily and trying to calm herself. “I honestly thought we were gonna die.”Marcus could not stop gazing at the two ladies. He considered them brave and could not imagine the level of risk they both took.“I will be Eternally grateful to you for this sacrifice you made for me and my friend,” Camelia wept, holding on to his legs.Marcus lifted her and have a warm hug to keep her calm. Her body was shaking and it was then that he realized how scared she had actually been but just had to keep a brave face.He admired her now more than ever.Holding her in his arms made his mind to travel briefly down memory
“What happened boss?” Sam asked, getting closer to him. He turned to Camelia and she knew instantly it must have to do with her.“Is my mother okay?” She asked first, tears gathering up in her surviving eye.Marcus nodded.“This is not about your mother but about everything you have laboured to reclaim.”“What about it?” She asked, turning fully to him.“The call I received was from one of my men. He just brought it to my notice that Derek's company, aka Master Holdings blew up today.“Nooo!” Camelia yelled and almost fell to the ground but Jessica rushed to her side to hold her up and steady.“Wait a minute, who planted the bomb?” Sam asked, his eyes showing his confusion.“My best guess would be that he gave the orders because I just realized that he was referring to that company as well because he knows that it belongs to Camelia's father and she would want to have it back upon her discovery by the police.”“This guy…” the police chief exclaimed, “such a master strategist. So full
Magnus and his men stormed the MANDIS building site with bulldozers ready to take down the school.“Crush this trashy structure down and leave no brick standing,” Magnus ordered the bulldozers drivers.He then turned to his own men.“Secure the entrances of this surrounding area. I would not want to be faced by unnecessary visitors. Whoever wants to come to me will have to come through you.”His agents nodded and stood on strategic corners of the building.He and the Bulldozer drivers got into a conversation.***Meanwhile, Marcus was with Luciana at his office. She had showed up immediately and she was invited by Sam.“I had the documents ready earlier last week but I noticed you were a bit busy with Camelia's case so, I had to let you handle that first.”Marcus nodded.“But, we have got to move really fast because some information reaching me now is that Magnus has gone down to that building with Bulldozers and is about to start crushing it. I really cannot let him do that.”Marcus
Thomas led his men with heavy guns and weapons of warfare as though they were going for a major battle.The instructions were given by Magnus who was too tired of being dragged back by Matthew’s existence, hence he made up his mind that the only way to maintain his claims to the building was by taking out the one man who would be called to testify in court.“When you get there, take him and his entire family out. Clear them all out, if possible, burn down their home for want of evidence destruction. Do I make myself clear?”“A whole family is about to be brought down,” Thomas sighed to himself. He had been Magnus man for quite some time and it was jobs like this that got him rethinking his job.“Be on guard guys!” He reminded his men. “This was an ex Local government officer, his house must be well guarded.”“And you're right boss,” one of his men whispered, “I see ten men, heavily armed, standing around the gate.”He has looked through the binocular lens on his gun. But Thomas was no
