After listing out what he wanted Anthony to do, Mr. Lincoln ordered for Anthony to be freshened up and well taken care of just so he could look presentable, and so it would be easier for him to carry out the job he asked him to do.Then his phone rang and he discovered it was a call from Michael.“And what’s the feedback?” Mr. Lincoln questioned as he crossed his lap.“Actually, I don’t think they are there either. The employees checked their check-ins and out, and it seems your family have already checked out.” Michael informed him.“Oh, I see. I guess they must have gone off to another place to have fun. They are quite the fun type. When they are done, they’ll get back to me. For now, I have a different job for you.” Mr. Lincoln spoke“And what job is that, boss?”“I need you to go in search of Mr. Thompson. He is one old, annoying frog lawyer whom I really need to get rid of.” “Okay, noted boss. I’ll be expecting the location of the person.”“Sent it already as a text. Do a really
“What!” Charles exclaimed in shock.He felt like a rock had been left to sink down in his heart as he heard the shocking news from this stranger.To him, it felt like it was a waste of time, and he was so annoyed at himself for not sending someone trusted, over to this place instead, to check if the man still lived there.“Yes. But what’s surprising is the fact that before he left, he paid five years rent more, for this house. So, no one else lives here, and he hasn’t come back since then. In fact, I don’t think he’s ever coming back.” The woman uttered.Charles almost felt dizzy because all these were too sudden for him to digest, and it wasn’t good news either. He staggered back a few steps and James held him back.“Are you okay?”“Yeah, I am.” Charles replied, then he exhaled sharply. “Do you perhaps have his contact or an idea of where he stays, now?” “No, I don’t. He never really shared private information, so we’re all clueless.Charles and James both went back to the car, and
Both Charles and James turned to look at him instantly, eager to know who it was that had come to their rescue.“Who are you?” Charles questioned inquisitively.“I think that’s not important now. But if you must know, I’m Anthony.” The young man revealed himself.“Oh, Anthony, nice to meet you. I’m Charles, and this is James.” Charles introduced he and James to Anthony.“Nice to meet you too.”“So, how did you know we’re in need of help?” Charles asked, trying to be certain that the young man knew what exactly they needed help for.“I watched you from a distance when you were at Mr. Thompson’s door. I thought you were his son who has come here to live for the three years left, but I guess you’re not.”“You live here?”“Yeah. But I also do travel around for a few reasons.”“Alright, so, you said you can help us. In what way?” Charles questioned.“Well, let’s say I know where Mr. Thompson lives.” He uttered with confidence.“What! Are you sure about this? You know where he lives?” Charl
“If we are to stop this man from taking us any further to where he wants to take us to, we have to do it wisely.” James whispered to Charles, ensuring that Anthony does not hear what he had just said.“You’re right.” Charles responded, agreeing to tackle the situation wisely.He wasn’t scared of Anthony, but the fact that he was in control of the steering wheel, endangered their lives. If they tried to get it from him, he could decide to drive away from the streets, and over a cliff.Most people who were sent to carry out evil activities tended to be crazy and ready to end their life. Charles wasn’t ready to die, neither did he want to endanger someone else’s life as well.“Anthony, please make a stop right there. I need to ease my self out immediately.” James spoke out, acting like he was really pressed.Then Charles picked on and decided to act along.“I told you not to take too much water due to the nature of our journey. Now, this is going to take out of the time we need to get to
James poured the cold water over Anthony’s body and Anthony woke up instantly, shivering. He shook his head and his short-length hair slapped around his forehead and side head.“Let me go!” He yelled as he tried to release himself from the tight grip of the ropes.“You really don’t think we’ll let you go at your command, do you?” Charles questioned as he sat opposite him, and crossed his legs.Then Anthony chuckled and sneered at him.“Regardless, you can’t hurt me, and I will only waste your time if you think you can get answers from me.” Anthony scoffed.“Well, we didn’t think you’ll comply that easily and since we have no time to waste like you’re well aware, I hope you love electricity?” James uttered as he turned on the taser.Anthony’s eyes widened in shock. He wasn’t expecting Charles and his men to be this ruthless as he had never heard anything scary about them.No, Anthony. They certainly can’t hurt you. They are good men.” Anthony thought to himself as he shook his head.“R
Everyone in the car, heard Mr. Lincoln’s threats, and James could understand why Anthony was so pressured to capture Charles.Even as they understood him and had a feeling he was now on their side, they still preferred to ensure he wasn’t out of their sight as Mr. Lincoln’s threats could lead him to have a rethink.“But I’m glad you’re giving me a second chance. Once this is all done, I really hope I can escape far out of Mr. Lincoln’s reach, just so I won’t be captured again to be tortured to death.” Anthony said, shakily.“You won’t need to run nor hide, because I will ensure he goes to jail, and before then, he wouldn’t even have the time to give orders to search for you.” Charles voiced out, with determination.This time, he was going to use all his might and resources to ensure that his father gets what he deserves, and regardless of his power and influence, he won’t escape this particular arrest, especially if he has been escaping the others, before.Soon, they got out to the bu
Before he could speak, another doctor came out, smiling, and this made Charles hopeful that they surgery had actually gone well.“Mr. Lincoln, the surgery went well. He will be moved to a ward, and when he wakes, you can visit him.” The doctor informed, and Charles almost jumped up in great joy.He shared the news to the others and they were all glad that none of their efforts went to waste. Then he and James went outside the hospital to take a walk, later that night.“It feels so great whenever we achieve something.” James spoke out, breaking the silence between both of them as they walked step by step down a quiet road.Although, the road was quiet, but a few people were still seen around, each of them to themselves. “I know right? Things are gradually unfolding, and this time, I have a hunch that my father would go down for good.”“I support and trust you on that. He has to go down, because he has tried a lot of things, and it’s time he stops his heinous acts.” James uttered.“Yea
The next day, Charles let Anthony off the hook and gave him enough money to start a new life, but Anthony pledged to always be at his service if he ever needed him, so they parted ways after then.Charles, James and his driver then started their long journey back to California, waiting for the right opportunity to kick Mr. Lincoln off and their family, off their high horses.On the other hand, Sandra was really fed up of the whole stress and rudeness she had to endure. She walked out and noticed a restroom which special guests mostly used.“Before I leave, I must ensure I use this place. I did more work than the debt I owed them.” Sandra said to herself.As she walked into the restroom, she began to hear light moans, and she insisted on finding out who the person was.As she got closer, she discovered it was a particular male staff which she had not seen before, but his physique caught her eye, and she just couldn’t get her eyes and mind off his nakedness.The male staff noticed her a
