*****"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
