****Richard returned back to his apartment grudgingly as he sank to his sofa, a lot going on in his mind as he wondered the next step to take..He has just a year span to finish his current program in college, hence much project to attend to. Now, his family's investigation, and the ongoing process of his tech company coming up.. he really wondered if Alex could be trusted with his bold claims.The things he stated were uprightly true, but the passion of the wayne's revenge still boils in him.He would not stop at anything until he gets them to pay for the humiliation they made him go through, including his Mother's death.His mind drifted to his friend turned partner, Ralphael Merlin. He picked up his phone and dialed his number."Hey man! What's cool?" he asked, seeing that the caller had picked. But he was met with silence."Are you there buddy?""Oh, Richie! Yeah man, what's cool.." Merlin answered grudgingly."What took your damn head so long to give a reply?" "I'm sorry man. I
~~~~An unknown man walked into the hospital ward where Gloria laid, he walked gently so as not to arouse any suspicion around him..Gloria tried to see who it was that came into the room, but her weakness couldn't make her see clearly as she only felt dizzy…She could tell that the person was not Richard nor the Doctor or any nurse..her heart skipped as she saw the person bringing out something from his handbag despite her dizziness… She could bet that the person was here on an evil mission, she couldn't shout as her strength wouldn't even aid her.She could only shed hot tears, the secret behind Richard's family that she had decided to tell him that day was about to get aborted again… Her body shook when she felt a piercing in her neck, she jerked slowly as the stranger infused a poison-like substance into her vein..Instantly, she felt numb… the only thing she could feel was her heart beating, all other parts of her body had been rendered useless…She saw the evil grin the stranger
"I really want Revenge… you don't expect me to be humiliated by those brick heads and want me to let it go slightly. Never!" Richard snapped,"Calm down Mr. Gray, I understand your plight but don't you think all of this would not be needed much at the end of the day. I mean, come to think of it. What if ….""No, what if please…" Richard shunned him, "I saw my wife lying with another man right on our matrimonial bed. Not just that alone. She stood naked to harass me in front of him, as if that's not enough, even went back to even commit the act before me with no sign of remorse or even guilt…" Richard snapped, breathing heavily as he fumed."I understand your plight Mr. Gray, but you gotta take some steps at a time. I can tell you that even if you move ahead to do what you have against them currently. It'll still be the same result you'll get. Practically no Justice" Alex said,Richard turned at him angrily, squeezing his face."I don't get… What do you mean by 'No Justice'. Currently,
*****"Have you heard of any name called Talbot""Talbot!!" Richard exclaimed,"I only heard the name once and that was because of a crisis that took place in some city I know nothing about…" Richard replied to his question,"Well, I think you might begin to keep tabs on him now because he's surely one of the people that see through your family's early demise…" Alex noted,Richard twitched his mouth unbelievably,"What connection has he got with Edward then…" he asked,"A lot buddy, a lot to show you that the focus shouldn't be on aiming directly at Edward. It's just like shooting yourself in the leg, no fucking body knows you yet. You can't get justice in such a way."Richard took a deep sigh, his eyes over the TV screen before him.."So, what is the next step now and besides how come you know so much about this. Who are you really?" Richard spoke softly,Alex gave a slight giggle as he looked up at him,"I'm Talbot's nemesis, set to bring him down in all ranges. My investigation of h
*****Richard ordered for a slight food while Alex ordered something more complex eating hurriedly and not minding Richards gaze on him.He was munching on the sandwich when his eyes caught Richard eyes staring at him.He cringed a little as he placed the burger down,"What is it with the eyes?" He asked, cleaning the balm stain on his cloth with the napkin."No, no….it's fine, it's nothing." Richard smiled, acting weird.Alex squeezed his face again, "You're sure nothing is wrong with that gaze directed at me" he asked again,"Yeah! Nothing, but I only have a problem with you." Richard said, playing with the fork on his plate.Alex raised his head up and motioned him to continue talking…"Your allegations seems true, everything you've stated so far is something I can relate with, but how can I trust you… You don't look like what I need…" Richard said, folding his arms.Alex chuckled slightly, he drank water so it could push down the food lumps in his throat before beginning his speech
"After all this, you still expect me to put my life in danger more.." He continued, "who knows my life might actually be the next target of course""But, we've not affirmed that those assassin's actually came over there because of you… I was their target" Alex muttered,"Yeah, I know… more reason why I need to stick away from you, cuz the more they see me with you.. the more endangered my life is" Richard reiterated,Alex took a deep sigh, he was right though… His life is in danger truly… Richard noticed his expression and burst into laughter, making Alex wonder why.."C'mon man, I thought you were always acting strong, uhn?" Richard asked,"Sure, I'm strong""Whoa! But the expression I saw just now didn't depict a strong man" Richard burst into laughter again Alex gave a deep sigh, he wasn't quitting after sll…"Relax man, we're talking about my family here… we've come a long way to quit" Richard chuckled, stretching his hand for a shake"Yeah…" Alex smiled, hitting his hand away..
Alex helped Richard gently to the couch… it took a little while for them to get home regarding the outburst they encountered during the day and the safety of their environment.It was only right and proper for them to spend their night in a hotel… Richard couldn't really explain why he had come to admire Alex so much, that he even had to betray his oath of lying to her personal best friend.."You'd do more better than engaging in deep thoughts brother, you should at least take a rest" Alex said, making Richard give a slight giggle."You have no idea what's in my head right now…" he replied,"Oh! Seems like you have a million dollar head, uhn?" Alex said, the duo bursting in laughter.. "I'm wondering which human has a skull with a brain in it and still claims he has a lot of things in it""C'mon… not that, can't just wrap my head around the attack today..""Well, let's just say I was prepared, though I wasn't thinking it'll come early but thanks to my preparation" Alex jeered,He gentl
He really wished he could stop it, but he's come a long way to quit.**SOMEWHERE IN AN UNDERGROUND FACILITY**Right under a heavily guarded facility, five hefty men stood around a table, all of them facing down with a blueish like face cap on them. They were expecting their boss, they all looked up instantly revealing the presence of their boss who walked in to them."Robert thinks he can mess with me.." the man giggled, he picked up a beretta pistol on the table rubbing his hands on it like a little baby.He was the leader of the top Mafia group in the country, rumor has it that his terrain is the third largest in the world giving him enough manpower to face any bodies or government who infuriates him."Men of the underworld," Talbot says, " This is going to be a huge mission… brace yourself."The men all nod, staring curiously at themselves. They know what to doTalbot brings out a large chart from the desk of the table, motioning on his guards to bring him a chair to sit. "We woul
