"Traced?" Priscy muttered, holding her wounded arm in pain."How the fuck were we traced, we tried our best not to let out guards down"."Listen, we have a lot to do now to escape, I sighted a building at the end of the stream there. Trust me, I'd hold these guys down, just take cover in there" Alex said, as he turned his back to leave.Richard immediate held his hands as he looked up to him,"I can't allow you to leave like that… we're together in this.." Richard mumbled,"Would you two stop this bullshit and let's get the hell out of here.." Anthony snapped,Richard immediately sighted two armed men coming into the cottage.They held their rifles closely as they checked through the whole room.The men quickly held their breath and hid carefully behind one of Anthony's shelf.Not too long, Anthony's dog came into the room and resumed barking at the men.One of the armed men turned t"What sound is that?" Richard asked, trying to get where the whirring is from."Damn!! We've been traced." Priscy yelled, as she returned back to the room.Immediately, a chopper pulled up before them at the verandah as three men began spraying them with bullets." Get down … down.." Alex yelled, running back to the room.The bullets shattered all the glasses as these men continued spraying sporadically. Instantly the hotel alarm began ringing as everyone became alarmed of an intrusion.Alex quickly rushed into the room Anthony is in and helped him down from the bed as the bullet slightly hit the bed stand.After successfully destroying all the glasses and windows, the chopper flew away."We gotta move in now, the chopper has landed on the roof. They're trapping us in" Priscy said, in a rush.Instantly, they heard an explosion outside.A police vehicle has been blown away, it appears Talbot's men had su
Alex sent two rapid shots to the man standing in the door towards the entrance.He braced up himself as he walked towards the reception.He counted six men standing strategically at the reception waiting for any intruder…He gently hid behind the walls as he held his breath.Just at that moment, he saw Richard and Priscy crawling behind the door moving towards the building's main car park where Talbot was.He knew he had to act fast, else they'd be caught.Without mincing thought, he ran across the door, sending two shots to two men in the process.The other men turned to him as they shot sporadically. Like a martial artist, Alex skillfully rolled on the ground sending another two quick shots to two men.He quickly hid behind a table as he saw more men running towards the building.Alex frowned his face as over ten men came into the building again, he knew for sure Talbot had more than enough men with h
"You really would agree that you did a lot for us!" Richard said, trying to start up a conversation.Alex turned to face him as he squinted his eyes, "What do you mean?"Richard gave a deep sigh as he walked towards him, "No one would have done what you did except for a very dear friend, who really wants to see you live" he stated,"What I did? Pull up the crap bro, stop talking in parables" Alex replied,"Alex, you could have neglected me and went for Talbot when you had the chance, but you still protected me. This injuries were because of your loyalty, man" Alex giggled slightly as he sat up, he groaned slightly as his bandaged arm hurts him."You were more than a brother to me Richard" Alex began,"We had lived together for months, even though you were a billionaire, you never treated me as a scumbag. I understand what it is to be once poor and rich now, but you decided to stay true.And not just that alone,
Edward felt proud for the show of inspiration he displayed in his speech as he walked down the pulpit.The shouts and applause he got fueled his ego more as he was sure something good would definitely happen.He could feel the happiness of the audience and the eagerness in them.The time ticking is evident of his show of popularity and pride he had towards their upcoming innovation but the look on Zach his assistant's face wasn't cheering at all.He walked up to him as the people cheered him along, he motioned him to a more silent place as the people continued with their chitchatting."What's with the face?""There's a problem sir, a real one to be honest" Zach answered,"What problem? Are the guests not coming?" Edward gasped. That was the worst he was expecting."Sir! If it's to be the guests issue it would have been good. A more terrible thing is it…" Zach brought out his phone as he opened his social media h
"Leave? What's the leaving for?" Alex muttered,"I don't have a good premonition of what would happen next! The doctor could be an accomplice to the threat we're experiencing" Richard answered.Priscy nodded her head slightly feeling what Richard is saying."Alex! I think it's true. We gotta leave here like Richard said. We did not know the doctor from any corner, it was the hotel management that prescribed him to us. We could be in danger by doing so" Priscy added,"So, what are you insinuating now…" "Simple! We gotta leave this place in a hurry. I'm sure Talbot would motion his men to be on the lookout for us and you know what that means'' Alex added,Alex gave a deep sigh as he walked out of the room leaving the two to do their thing.Priscy and Richard focused their gaze on Anthony where he laid, he was getting thinner and leaned by every passing second. "How are we going to do this?I'm still not strong en
"I never really thought you'd love to meet with me again, Master" "This is no time for frivolities, I need you up for something real quick Julius…" Edward snapped, making Julius give a slight chuckle."Oh! Seems my energy is needed more. Now, that you've lost your so-called auction…" Julius replied,Edward squeezed his face at the tone Julius spoke with him with. He had never spoken to him in such a manner before and it made Edward wonder where he's got the nerves to speak with him in such a manner."Seems like someone is really baffled about the situation of things…" Julius giggled, adjusting the dark goggles on his face."Julius! Listen, I need you for something real urgent… You gotta drop someone for me real quick…" Edward snapped, pissed off by his attitude."Ohhhh!!!" Julius laughed sarcastically, infuriating Edward the more."You should have thought of our next operation together when you embarrassed me out the last time… Did you know the scorn I went through? You know how I su
Rapid knocks rapped Edwards door as he jerked up quickly…"Who the fuck is that?" He yelled,He did not know when he drifted off to sleep with his preoccupied mind."Its… it's Chadwick sir," the person said,"I saw your message sir, you sent for me."Edward grumbled slightly and stood up from the bed. He walked towards the door loosening his belt."You can come in…" He turned the door knob,"Good evening sir…" Chadwick greeted, closing the door behind him."Chadwick!!" Edward called, giving a slight smile."Seems you're not taking my job serious… I haven't gotten a feedback from you.." Edward replied, giving a slight frown.Chadwick gave a slight bow as he looked up to Edward."Not that sir… The company's new update is really hindering something's for real sir and it has kept me glued to my workspace sir…" Chadwick replied,"Kept you glued to your workspace that you forgot something that has gave you your identity… Chadwick!!" "I'm sorry, you know for sure that prying into another ma
"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…"
