*****"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
"Where the fuck are you? Why are you guys driving slowly?’ Jaked yelled,."I think the gasket of the car requires water, sir," the officer replied. ‘We had to get water into it sir"‘You guys should attend to it and meet us in the airport as soon as possible, is that clear?’ Jake ordered,‘Yes sir’ the reply came in a faint voice, the call ended.Jake ended the call and continued to the airport with the team without them, they arrived at the airport early enough.Before they settled in the airport Jake called back to find out about the situation of the car. "Fuck!!" He cursed, angrily. He had gotten a negative reply, no progress had been made, instead they had to look for someone to repair it, it appears the damage was much.Alex's call came in when they got to the arrival hall,at exactly twenty minutes past seven.‘Hello sir" Jake called."Yeah, so how's it going.. is the commissioner over there?" Alex's voice rang out"He's not in yet sir.. probably he would be here any minute from
"Very well sir" Jake replied with his face down, feeling greatly nervous.‘You didn't just see this, those attackers drove in with you’ Alfred added as he moved closer. ‘You brought them in, you were working together"‘No… Sir, not the way you think’ Jake stammered, almost in tears."What the fuck did you mean by No? We saw it fool’ Alfred stressed, looking suspiciously at Bobby. ‘You brought those guys here, probably you were an accomplice all this while.Jake was speechless, he knew there was no point arguing as his claims were right but not true. He watched the president usher into another car with Alex and he felt the urge to tell them not to pass the same route they did, to avoid any more attacks cuz he's sure this whole thing happened on their way here…‘Can't you fucking talk? Are you insane?’ Alfred yelled angrily, almost pulling out his gun before being cautioned by those around."Alfred…" a man called, "There's really no need for all of that.. we have something pressing to
~~~~Alex looked around him, crazy thoughts going through his mind… Two husky men sat at the front, their faces staring outside the window..The president was conveyed in another car… Alex gently tapped the pocket knife in his leg, he could feel his blood streaming down because of its piercing.He looked closely to the men around him, they didn't look strong enough for him not to handle.He could bet that their prowess is not upto his… he carefully adjusted himself to be able to pull out the knife real quick.The man sitting by his right hand noticed his expression… "Don't try any fucking thing there man, if you know you don't wanna end in your grave" "Hmmm… hmmm hmmm.." he hummed.."Ermm… ermm, how about you pausing a lil bit.. I want to ease myself" Alex said,They all looked back at him wondering what he's up to, the driver hissed as he turned on the stereo increasing the volume of the music."I want to ease…" Alex yelled.He got his chance when the leader sitting in the front tur
Edward squinted his eyes as he tried to make out where he'd seen that face before…Richard noticed his expression and tried to act smart up to distract him. He walked towards him with a cheerful grin."Oh, Mr. Wayne. Nice to finally meet you.." Richard curtsied offering him an handshake,"Nice to finally meet you also, how do you do?" Edward said flatly, looking deep into his face as he accepted his hands in his."I'm doing well…" Richard caught his eyes, scouting all over me as he adjusted himself, slightly feeling uncomfortable as he tried removing his hands.Edward noticed this and quickly adjusted himself also, smiling at him and quickly released his hands."I'm sorry, sir…" Edward said, cheerfully. "I thought you'd be at the meeting hall with others…" "Oh, no. I'd check that out later, besides I already sent out my team to do that…" Richard responded,If Edward had not seen his picture and his nature on the internet earlier, he would have concluded this was not the man he was ex
Chadwick paced around the room, wondering what to do.Merlin and Belinda were already walking towards the office with two other white men behind, giving comments on what they were discussing.He couldn't come out of the office that way since he was in there and he would be questioned.He quickly arranged the files back, the way he met them and sorted them gradually before thinking of how he'd get out.He tiptoed silently to the entrance, trying to get hint of what they are discussing about,"Yeah, we gotta make arrangements with the city media on Friday and we must make it known to them that this would be on our terms now…" Merlin said, turning round to address them as he handed his hand bag to Belinda."Yeah, but Mr. Merlin, is this not going to reach the CEOs hearing, I mean he gotta give his consent on this, I guess. To at least instigate more support from the public" one of the white men said,Merlin chuckled a bit, snapping his fingers together."I understand your point, we truly
******Richard stares intently at his laptop, his hands typing some commands fast as he tries to dig deep into the wayne's family company, searching deep to see if he could get any clue about their recent progress.The hatred he felt for them, burning hot in his heart. He'd been mapping out all ways to reach back to them, but none of them seems well aboslutely.Multiple notifications pop up on his Laptop, he clears them as he continues with the coding he was entering. He is currently on their family Business page, digging deep to know about their financial status currently."Oh shit" he cursed, the code he had entered did not work.He squeezed his face as he wondered what could be possibly wrong, this is the upteenth time he'd been trying it.Alex was cooking in the kitchen humming his favorite song as headphones blared it in his ears, his injured leg is now much better."Hey man, you're done with it?" He asked, holding a tray of dishes filled with grilled chicken and chips as he too
"I'm afraid it is man.." Alex said, pointing to the area the location points too..Richard stared at it intently, "This is obviously close to where my in law stays, it's just some miles away" He said,"You're married?, you've got some in laws..?" Paul asked, sounding surprised.. "I thought you're some young dude..""Eemm….Paul, it's kinda complex.. you really can't understand.." Alex said,Richard paced around the room seeming worried, his right hand on his forehead as he worried about the secrets before him now."Can we really track the origin of this tape, I mean we could get some concrete evidence there… who knows?" Richard asked,Paul cleared his throat, turning to address the two.. "As it seems now, it's obviously gonna take a while for me to dig deep into the video's source and that might delay your investigation, I guess.. you gotta act fast" He said.He brought out a cigarette about to light it, not minding the presence of the two. Alex looked at him disdainfully as he pulled

*****"What the fuck! You two alone?" Priscy exclaimed,"That's not the main thing now, we should think about we're gon leave this place. It's been over two days now, I'm fucking famished and even if we decide to leave for the country, the gasoline in the car gon take us nowhere …" Alex said,.."We're not leaving for anywhere Alex, we go out there and fight those men." Richard snapped,"Whose men? Are you kidding! Do you think manpower is just about muscles, those guys gon take us down before we know it." "But we can't tell except we try it out…""What the fuck are you even saying Richard…" Alex snapped, standing up to him."You could have taken down two men with the rage you used to speak now…" Richard said, standing on his feet and went outside."How about we give it a try Alex, we never can…."Priscy was saying before Alex hushed her,"Now, you just shut your mouth there and act like you never existed…" Alex said.Richard heard his voice and walked towards him in anger,"You won't
*****It's been hours of long drive to the Fargo city and Alex was beginning to get weary of driving.Priscy had slept off at the backseat she is, and Richard also.Alex alone was the one who battled with his eye lid from closing.He thought of doing something stupid, to at least ease him of the boredom.He connected the cars mp3 player to the internet and went to the music folder. Choosing a bass music, he played it.The music began on a slow intro and Alex took it away, he selected another music.Not seeing the ones he liked, he went back to the music he played first and increased the volume of the music.Midway to the music, the beat instantly became loud, kolting Richard out of his sleep as he looked around.Alex let out a wide laugh as he looked at Richard. The loud music had woken him up."C'mon man, this is crazy. Why the fuck would you have to do that…" Richard snapped.Alex only hit the steering wheel in laughter as he kept on laughing, Richard on the other hand kept hissing
Alex decided to go back to revisit the web site and binged on the information he could see there…He kept scrolling through the site as he kept being amazed at the range of content in that website and why no one ever noticed it…"But, how the fuck does someone not know much about all this before… I mean, I've surfed through the internet looking to get information about my father's death… I never saw jack.." Richard exclaimed,"With the recent information i know about Mr. Talbot" Priscy began, taking up the leftover drink from the stool… "He might have done shit with some tech bosses and probably tried to lock down any site that talks shit about him…. Something like that happened recently…" Priscy explained,"Happened?" Alex said, stretching the word… "I thought he had a press case to settle as regards his imported goods mischief.." He said,"Yeah, I heard that shit too…" Richard quickly chipped in, taking his seat beside Alex."And, you're not aware that the case was swept under the
"Who the fuck is that again?" He snapped,"Honey pie. It's me!" A voice rang aloud, and the door opened"Richard Gabriel!. What the fuck! Edward exclaimed, as he adjusted himself on the bed."Who is Richard Gabriel… I heard you mention your nemesis" Camila said, walking close to him.Edward bowed his head slightly, his mind was beginning to play pranks with him.He looked up to see Camila…"Camilla!!" He called out, softly.He stood up and clung to her like a baby…"Who is Richard Gabriel?" She asked again,"Richard Gabriel? Did I mention any name of such.." Edward asked, resting his head on her shoulders."Yes baby… Are you good? You look really tense. Is there a problem?"Edward thought whether to confide in her but eventually discarded the thought knowing that his wife is someone who really could not keep secrets."Chadwick just annoyed me…" he lied,"Oh! Probably that's why he wants to see you. He said you sent him out annoyingly, but he still needs to tell you something though…"
