Levi stared at the woman again. His brain took time to understand what she was saying. She knew where Brittany was. Was she part of the gang that took her? Is everyone in the hospital a spy? He could not pinpoint and say who they truly were but for their own safety, he hoped they were not responsible for what Brittany's disappearance. "Where is she?" He finally managed to ask after keeping mute for a while. "Well, she was not kidnapped. She was only moved to another room. You know if you had asked me before running into the hospital, you would have known that they are already." Levi went mute. He could feel his heart beating less and less. Brittany was okay.Though he couldn't confrim the information and so he said,"Which room is she? Take me to her?" "Yeah, I can't do that. It's not my job," The receptionist could somehow tell that the man standing in front of her had enough money to buy the hospital she worked in. She knew that rich people were usually very arrogant and auth
"Good afternoon, are you Mr. Strauss?" A man dressed in black walked up to Levi and asked. "Yes that is me." Levi begin to talk. "Look, officer..." But he was cut short. "I was sent here by Commissioner Andy to handle a case of kidnapping. May I see the picture of the woman that has been taken?" "Okay, officer. That is what I am trying to tell you. I thought she was kidnapped but turns out the hospital just moved her to another room. She is in there, safe and sound. I apologise for having brought you down here for no good reason." He had a good relationship with the Commissioner but Levi also knew never to abuse power.Commissioner Andy was a cut throat man. If he discovered that Levi actually wasted his time and that of his guys, the relationship that they had may be bruised. "Okay. Well sir I didn't only come here for that. He also mentioned a case of you being harrased and that your life may be at risk.""Yes!" Levi said. Somehow, he had totally forgotten about the death threa
"What did you do?" Levi seethed. "Levi Strauss!" Levi could hear the sound of his uncle through the phone and his heart immediately skipped a beat. He yanked the phone from Mark's hand and walked away from him. "Hello, uncle. How are you?" "How could you have kept something that important from me? Your life is at risk and I get to find it out from your bodyguard?! Do you know how upsetting that is?" Levi sighed. Mark had really set him up. "Uncle, I have the matter under control. I reached out to the commissioner and as we speak, they were working towards getting a solution to the problem. Uncle, don't worry about anything. I am fine and I have taken care of this.""You are not fine. You got only the commissioner involved in this? Everyone should be on their toes trying to find these bastards. Have you contacted the FBI?" "I highly doubt the FBI will want to take up a case like this.""Nonsense!" He exclaimed. not"Oh and uncle before you go calling them, just remember that the
The two rushed out, eager to know what was happening outside. But before Brittany could step outside, Levi held her by the shoulders. "Brittany, wait. Go back to bed, I will take care of this." He ended with a tone of finality, not leaving any room for her to argue. He opened the doors and stepped outside only to see a man in a white coat arguing with the police men. "I am a doctor in this hospital. You cannot treat me this way!" He said angrily. "Sir, no one is allowed to go in there without being checked." "What's going on here?" Levi asked."Nothing we can't handle sir," one of the men said. "Let him be. He is a doctor here and he is the one looking after Brittany. Allow him to enter." "Yes sir." Levi opened the door and the doctor dashed in, desperate to get away from the policemen. "I apologise for that." "What are you apolozing for? What happened?" Brittany asked. "They are a bunch of police men outside your door and I believe that your friend placed them there," the
Couldn't believe what Davina and her actions but he knew he was not in the mood for her tantrums. "Levi, you really wouldn't!"He was at a low point in his life. Tensed and troubled, the last thing he needed was drama but it appeared that she was ready to be very dramatic. He sighed heavily, "okay. I am rushing to meet someone now, how about you set a meeting for us so that we can discuss better when I am back.""Okay, I will do just that." Levi did not wait for the end of that conversation, he drove off before she could say another word. He never really understood what was wrong with rich people and they way they believed that the entire world should revolve around them. It took him less than six minutes to get to his uncle's place. He looked up and saw the light off in his bedroom but a silhouette standing by the window. "When did he love staying in darkness?" He asked, curious as to what was really going on with him. He couldn't tell what the man wanted to say but he knew fro
Levi adjusted on his seat. He couldn't think straight. How could the man be fighting with such deadly disease all by himself? How long has this been going on? How did he miss the signs? Does his mother know about this?"I have so many questions!" He said while running fingers through his hair "I believe I would be able to answer them later. But not right now. I need to lie down."Levi sprang up when he stood up causing his uncle to give him a weird look that did not deter him. "Really?" He asked. "Yes. I want to know everything that you have been hiding from me."He took a long look at his nephew. He was a very persistent young man, just like his father. "Okay, let's go to my room." Gilead's room was as big as Levi's palour. He had almost everything that one person could need right in the room. His miniature fridge, a California king size bed, a walk in closet that housed his clothes, a state of the art bathroom, a mini study for work, a large screen television set and a comforta
Her eyes peirced into Levi's soul and showed him all the damges that had been done to her. He could feel her pain and hurt. He could see the burises that lay bare on her body. They locked eyes for five minutes before she ran away. Levi used his eyes to follow her movement. She was scared, terrified, and she had nothing else to do. "Do you know her?" Jake asked when she left. He too, felt the tension in the room. He also saw the way her look pierced through Levi. He hadn't seen many people do that and it got him curious to know more about the girl. "No, but it's about time I found out." Levi finally snapped out of the maze he found himself in and rushed to go meet the girl.He finally saw her sitting by the curb, still crying her eyes out. The air was chilly and the young girl wore nothing more than a sleeves top and a baggy trousers. Granted, her thick blonde hair fell gorgeously on her shoulder and maybe it granted her the heat she deserved. "Hey," Levi said softly and she r
Levi went mute. How could one man plan such level of wickedness towards another person? Why would he allow himself to be that cruel and evil? Did he know that she was an orphan?"What?!" He intended to shout but his words came out as a whisper. "Yeah, that's the same reaction I had. For crying out loud, where am I supposed to see that kind of money? I am an orphan!" Levi sat and watched as the woman whom he knew you be conserved, kept shouting and letting her feelings out. He did not need to be told that she was greatly hurt by her situation. The more she talked and fought back the tears in her eyes, the more upset he became. The more he wanted to make Anthony suffer. "You should stop crying...""I am not crying. I am upset and I need to get justice." "Do you have any class today? If you do, I think you should go for it and just try to forget the incident that occurred. It will be taken care of." Alexia looked at him as if he had lost his mind. How would it be okay when she was
