Levi and Mark turn to see what the noise is about. "I think it's coming from outside," Mark said after a while of searching to see what happened. Immediately, he stood up and yanked his belt to the front. "Sir, get behind me. I need to get you out of here right now!" He said and pulled out his gun, holding it ever so slightly to avoid it being noticed. The noise caused a state of disarray in the bar yet no one knew exactly where it was coming from or what caused it. Mark took slow steps towards the door, scanning the room as he went. He walked slowly with Levi behind him till he got outside. "Where did you park?" Mark asked Levi once they got outside. "Have you forgotten that my car was bashed? Plus, I think I have found the source of the noise," Levi said pointing at a car that laid waste on the road. Mark placed his gun back into his trousers and walked with Levi to the scene of the crime. It was a black toyato. It looked exactly like the car Levi drove and the car was hit
Shivers ran down Levi's spine as he stared at the message. He wasn't worried for himself, he was worried for Brittany. The culprit knew where he was and they had access to his phone, it was only a matter of time before they get to find out about Brittany.If they hadn't already."Driver, go faster!" He yelled at the Uber driver. "Sir, I know this can be disturbing but I don't want you to worry about this. I am here to protect you." Levi could hear words coming out of Mark's lips but he didn't bother to know what they were. All he cared about was getting to Brittany and ensuring that she is safe. "Can you please stop talking?" He said when he kept mumbling words. "I need you to calm down, sir. This is all under control!" "No it's not. Don't you get it?! I am not worried about myself here. I am worried about a poor innocent girl that will be caught in the middle of all these simply because of me. She doesn't deserve this and I need to ensure that she doesn't get hurt." "I highly
Levi hurled into the hospital, bypassed the front desk receptionist without answering her questions as to whom he was looking for and he ran straight to Brittany's room. Mark followed right behind him while ensuring that they were no deadly looks from anyone in the room. Levi arrived at Brittany's hospital room only to find an empty room. "No, no, no!" He muttered and ran inside. Mark followed right behind him, confused as to why the room was empty. Could Levi's enemies really have taken her? How did they find out where she was? Was the truck driver a bait for them to get to know more about Levi's movements? He couldn't wrap his head around what was happening. "Brittany! Brittany! Brittany!" He screamed while running around the room and opening any doors he found. He checked the bathroom and he still could not find Brittany. "No. They have taken her!" He said to Mark, losing breathe."I don't think so. Remember, we saw the car outside so they must still be around somewhere. We
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
