The large, dusty warehouse reverberated with the voices of Magnus and Maxwell as they drew out plots on how to take down their common enemy, Marcus.He had become such a thorn in their flesh that they simply could not wait for him to be brought down or torn down like a piece of clothing.The two men stood, facing each other, surrounded by their heavily guarded men, they dissected possible options in how to destroy Marcus.“His guts eats me up daily,” Magnus sneered, throwing a furious glance at Maxwell.“You know I feel worse! He just wants to prove that his family is the richest and most influential at all times, like we all need to worship the ground he walks on.”Magnus sipped his spirit and shook his head.“We really should not have let him go weeks back when we had the perfect opportunity to end his game by taking his life, you know.” His voice was deep with regrets.“I still think we did the right thing, Magnus. He just stepped into the limelight and any foul play would have lef
“You would not tell me the passcode, right?” Derek asked Jessica, shaking her vigorously. She was blue with fear and uncertainty and Camelia was not regaining consciousness yet and then Marcus had not arrived yet.She was looking at their lives as over. Her mind dabbled in fear.“Why are you two being adamant?” His voice roared through the entire warehouse. “Your friend would not let out the passcode, neither would you!”“I could get her to tell you the passcode if we can resuscitate her,” Jessica begged, her voice rusty with anxiety.“And if we resuscitate her and you are unable to carry out this promise? What would become of you?”Jessica swallowed hard as his question raised doubts within her. She wondered if she would succeed in convincing Camelia. She knew that her friend was a very firm person and would not easily tilt towards another view point and if she had given her life almost, protecting this cause, she may as well keep it to herself forever.There was no way for her to re
Marcus and Sam were driving towards Jessica's location till suddenly, he lost signal.“I do not seem to have her on the feed again,” Marcus mentioned in his voice showing how worried he was.“You think she might be in trouble?” “I am sure she is!” Marcus replied sharply, bringing the car to a sudden halt. “She was being tracked till suddenly it went out of transmission. Possibly, Derek noticed the tracker and if he did, he most certainly would not handle it likely. The man is dangerous.”“Hmmm,” Sam gasped, stretching out in the car. “What do we do? We have to proceed using the last feed.”“That would be best. Where we are now seems like a dense forest. We just have to keep going on foot till we are able to locate her. I gave her my word and I must fulfil it.”“Mehn! That is too dangerous!” Sam groaned as they got out of the car. He was not entirely happy about getting on such an expedition with Marcus but he did not have a choice.***Derek held up the object with anger boiling insi
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
