Her manager was a scruffy looking man with a knack for the word "now now". "Now now," he started as soon as he reached Levi's table. "What seems to be the problem here?" He asked. "You are the manager?" Brittany asked, surprised at the petite appearance of the man. "Yes and I believe no one has still told me what the problem is." He added. "Your staff here gave us this outrageous bill and called it a payment for a few steaks that we had. We will not be paying that amount.""Why won't you?" A different voice was heard from the background. A voice Brittany knew too well. "After all, aren't you a multimillionaire?" The owner of the voice finally stepped into the light and Brittany was shocked to see him. "Stephen!" She exclaimed. She couldn't remember the last time she had seen him. But she knew that the last time they met, things did not end in such a good terms. "Hello Brittany," he said softly but with an evil intent in his eyes. "Sir, we did not think you will be coming in t
"I knew I should have gone home. I can't believe this is how I die," Jake couldn't help but freak out at the back seat. He could feel his palms become all sweaty and his heart pounding between his chest. "Hell, I should have gone home," he repeated his words which only helped to put Brittany on the edge. "Will you stop talking like a little girl?" Levi shouted. "He has every right to. Look around, Levi. Mark isn't here to help us. We have no one to get us out of this mess, so allow the poor man to complain. It may be the last thing he actually does." "I can't actually believe that you think this is going to work. You are only making matters worse." "I didn't say it was going to work so don't blame me." Levi tried his best to stay calm and collected. But it was very difficult to achieve that when he had two people were were worried sick in the same car with him. "What the hell are you doing?" Brittany said when she saw him parking the car by the side. "I am going to put
Roberto took in a deep breath and released it but he still couldn't feel himself returning back to sanity. He needed the money more than anything but he also knew that it was a terrible idea to threaten someone like Levi Strauss. The man was just too powerful and too confident to be moved. He was the one person that knew he was being followed and still parked his car to meet his enemy. The man feared no one and nothing. How he ever thought that he could get him to do his bidding will never cease to amaze him. "I asked you a question, Roberto," Levi said. "Yes. I understand you," he gulped. It was at that moment that Levi suspected he couldn't be the one after him. He wouldn't just give up like that if he was truly the one after his existence. "And this also goes out to all my guys. Stay away from us before I ruin the last trace of existence that you have left." "What guys are you referring to?" He asked At this point, Levi knew that he was not the one. No one that poured out
"You're not joking?" Mark asked, unable to believe what he had just heard. "No. Now if you don't mind, please get to work on what I just said and see if you can find any leads." "Right away, sir." He replied, threw his hands at his back and stood at ease. "Good," Levi nodded his head and walked away. It was a long day and he couldn't wait for the entire drama to be over. He was putting the lives of people that he cared about at risk and that did not allow his heart or mind to be at rest. He met no one in the palour and assumed that they had all gone to different rooms. Sighing, he trodded down to his bedroom only to find Jake by the hallway. "There you are, I was waiting for you. Tell me what happened," he asked. "What happened with what?" Levi puzzled. "Don't play the fool with me. What happened with Mark. What did you guys discuss?""Okay now. You don't have to worry yourself about all that. Look just go to bed and we will talk in the morning okay?" He tapped on his shoulde
"Levi, did you hear that?" Brittany woke with a startle, her eyes full of fear. "Huh?" Levi asked with sleepy eyes. He couldn't remember the last time he slept so peacefully. He did not hear any sound or feel anything. "Wake up, I hear a sound coming from outside.""Babe, I am sure it's just the wind. Come back to bed," he urged. "No, I am sure I heard something. Go check it out." "Brittany, trust me..." Before he could finish his words, a loud bang resounded from outside. Levi stood up immediately, finally alert. "Oh so now you hear it! Go and check it out, let's know what is happening." "You stay in bed," Levi advised as he stepped out of bed and slide into a pair of grey Nike slippers. "Heavens no, I am coming with you," Brittany said as she also got out of bed and followed him. "Okay, we both can't be out like this." "Instead of arguing with me, lead the way and let's find out what's going on here." They tiptoed out of their room and moved slowly to the front door. Th
"What do you mean by he is nowhere to be found?" Jayden asked. He couldn't lose him. He was so close to finally closing this case and getting the promotion he needed and now the prime suspect was no where to be found? He couldn't let that happen. "We can't find him anywhere in the house sir." "Did you check the basement? Where I told you the suspect is being held?" Jayden inquired. "Yes, I checked everywhere. Used the password you gave me to gain access to the room and finally got it open but I still can't find him. He cleared out the basement." "And what about the suspect? Where is he?" "There is no one in the basement. If there was a suspect there before, he isn't there anymore." "What?!" Levi asked. "I saw him yesterday evening. How could he be gone?" He didn't understand what was going on. Couldn't wrap his head around everything he was hearing.Brittany stood with open mouth, wondering if truly the policeman was right and Mark was actually the person behind it all. But ho
"I can't believe you guys will actually do this to me.""It's for the safety of everyone here. Now, go on. Go, Levi," Brittany urged him on. Levi stood outside the safe house, watching as Jayden made calls to find anyone that could track down Mark for him. He saw pure hatred for the man in his eyes. No one could tell him that the he did not partly do this for revenge. "What are you waiting for, Levi?" Brittany asked. "You know for a girl that defended Mark few minutes ago, you sure have a wonderful way of changing sides," Levi taunted. "I defended him when I thought he was not a serial killer after your life. What you are doing now is just plain stupidity. You can see that this man is clearly after you and get somehow you are still defending him. What exactly does that say about you?" "I am not defending him. I am just trying to weigh our options here. What if we get into my problems by trusting the police?" "The police is the one people we should have trusted all along and if
"Well, what did he say?" Brittany asked once she saw Levi walk into the room. "He said that we can't just arrest her like that. We need solid prove because of the kind of parents she has," Levi said and took a seat on the brown sofa that beautified the sitting room. "Wait, I am still confused. Who exactly is this girl?" Jake asked. He didn't like the fact that he was slowly getting lost with everything that was going on. So much information was running by him without him noticing. Levi hesitated and took a look at Jake's face and knew he couldn't lie to his best friend. Hesitantly, he said "It's Davina." "What?!" Jake exclaimed. "Davina McCall? The girl you told me about from the auction? The same Davina that wants you?" "Yes. She fits perfectly well into all those description. She is the one after me. I figured it out few hours ago actually. Somehow, she is always around where we get attacked and she always have one flimsy excuse or the other. I mean, she was there at the hospit
