The cops were standing in front of him. He could tell from their number, and the stern looks on their faces. He had also spotted the identification card before the cop stuck it into his face. "We are the police. We have an arrest warrant to take you in…""Under what charges?" Mr. Lincoln asked, even though images of all the atrocities he had committed in the dark started flashing in his mind."Under the charges of embezzlement of company funds, drug trafficking and fraud committed against Mr. Van." The man said, staring at him with hard eyes that suggested he was going to use force if Mr. Lincoln didn't cooperate. "Drug trafficking." Mr. Lincoln repeated, although it was plainly from shock that they had found that out. How had they discovered that? No one had been to his home. The men began to bring out handcuffs, and Mr. Lincoln cast a spiteful glance at Charles. "You." He gritted out, with his fists shaking, eyes restless, and lips trembling in anger. Charles gave a little sm

To Sandra, it was what an heart attack would feel like. She had never had an heart attack, but felt that the feeling she felt at that time was one that could be associated with cardiac arrest.Her chest suddenly clenched, and her hand flew to it. Her eyes stayed glued on Tyson, who looked like he was trying to find a way to take care of all the issues. Why would her husband be arrested? He had not come anything wrong. He had only come to save her and her sons."Can't be true." She said, and turned to Carlos who was reading something on the phone in a frenzy.She snatched it from his hands."Mum!" He called sharply in frustration, and tried to snatch the phone out of her hands, but she took it away, getting to her feet and continued to stare at the news headline.CEO of Lincoln consulting firm arrested!There was the photo of Mr. Lincoln handcuffed and taken by the cops."How come… how…" she asked, with her breath already beginning to come out a little faster. Then there were multipl

"What trouble?" Tyson asked, turning fully to Carlos. "The police might also be searching for us. They might want to arrest us." Carlos replied, and Tyson threaded his hands through his hair, bowing his head.He could not bring himself to ask why the cops would search for them.He also knew they hadn't exactly been innocent kids, and if their father had been caught then they weren't exactly safe. "What do we do now?" Tyson asked."We plan. We'll be back with payback for Charles. I'm very sure he's behind this." Carlos said venomously and without words, Tyson understood what Carlos intended to say.After all they were brothers. ~Sandra's eyes flitted open slowly, and she saw she was in the hospital.What had happened? Her brain felt hazy. She looked at the IV which she had drained of his contents, and sat up. She looked at her clothes; She was still in her casual clothes, which meant she had not suffered any serious injury that called for hospital treatment.Then slowly, it all be

Fear thrummed in Sarah like an instrument. No, she was almost there. She could have boarded her plane!No! Her world seemed to be crashing in on her. None of it made any sense. How could everything suddenly go wrong?Why hadn't they caught her when she was in her house? Why didn't they chase her on the road? Why hadn't they captured her in the hospital? Why, why, why???Why didn't they let her hopes get too high? How could they do such a sloppy job?Why did they let her see her freedom right in front of her and make her unable to snatch it?It felt like her freedom was really right in front of her, and she could snatch it, and take it for herself, but she knew she couldn't. They walked briskly towards her, and she wondered if they had seen her. Afterall, she had sunglasses and a cap on. Maybe she was overreacting. Maybe she was just too scared. She began to walk as casually, yet fast as she could, but ran into more cops."Mrs. Lincoln?" How had they recognized her? How in the world
The Black Card System Chapter Hundred And Sixty Nine
Apart from James being happy about the fact that they had taken Mr. Lincoln down, he was also happy that he and Amelia would finally settle things between them.Then he scrolled through his contacts, and dialed Amelia’s contact.“Hello Amelia.”“Hey James.” She responded in a delighted tone.“Well, I called to inform you that we’re finally done with the most tasking part at work, so if we could meet tomorrow to sort things out, that’ll be nice.” James spoke, hoping Amelia wouldn’t have changed her mind since the last time they spoke. “Oh, that’s sweet. It means you still have a few things to do at work, if you say you’ve only done the most tasking thing.”“Uhm… Yes. But that doesn’t affect our meeting. We’ll be finalizing what we’re working on, in three days.” James informed her.“Alright then. That’s fine. But then, if you insist on us settling things tomorrow, we will. Although, we’ll still have to go to see my father, but that’ll be after you’re finally free from so much tasks.” Am

There was Amelia standing in a midnight blue satin dress. The dress was fitting on her all the way to her thighs where it came free with a slit that showcased the slender beauty of her well-shaped legs. There were three jewels right above the slit, and three more on the single cap sleeve that she had on her right arm. He couldn't deny the stunning beauty of Amelia. She didn't do much for her hair, but the simple way it fell around her shoulders, smooth and silky, elevated her look. He hadn't even realized he had been staring for a while, until Amelia raised a hand to her neck, feeling shy. "Is it a little too much? I just thought…""No way. You look marvelous. You are just so pretty that I can't seem to stop staring. Come in please. I'm sorry I made you wait." He said, widening the door, and Amelia stepped in, with a faint blush on her face. James closed the door, and watched her stare at the petals he had arranged on the floor.There was a beautiful smile on her face, as she foll

Amelia found real comfort in James' arms and she had never felt more happy that she had decided to stand up to her father. Being with him was all she wanted. He was calm, cool, receiving, caring and knew exactly what she wanted. So why should she leave him and keep on going on blind dates with men she would never date?Amelia began to think of how things would turn out if she really managed to stand up to her father. She would no longer have to come in late at night, and leave early. She also wouldn't have to meet men she wasn't interested in, and go for business meetings that were always tiring.If she decided to go on a thousand dates with James, her father wouldn't stop her. Afterall, she was a grown woman already. She could make the decisions she considered best for herself.The thought of things becoming easier thrilled Amelia and she could not help getting more and more excited by the moment. James released her and she smiled. "I'm going to thank you for listening. For not cu

Charles looked at Lincoln in disgust. He detested him with everything. That was downright cheap. Was he so desperate to have someone go down with him that he didn't make use of his senses?How did he expect to drag Charles down with him without any evidence?That looked stupid to Charles. Sandra on her part didn't say a word, her tears dropped her cheeks. Her problem was humiliation. Charles doubted she really thought she was going to be given a heavy sentence. Almost everyone turned to see the person Mr. Lincoln was pointing at, and their mouths dropped when they saw he was pointing at Charles. Was he really pointing at Charles? Charles?Even his attorney looked baffled, and a little frustrated. Why would Mr. Lincoln try to show it outright that he was nervous? Why did he admit it?The prosecuting attorney took up the opportunity immediately.“Do you mean to imply that you admit to the sale of illegal drugs?” He asked, and Mr. Lincoln turned to his attorney, tongue-tied. It was ob

Charles couldn’t get rid of the whole shock immediately. These three seemed like unlikely allies. If someone had predicted that Vera was going to partner up with them in the long run, he wouldn’t have believed.He was lost for words, and the only thing he could do next was to applaud them.“I really don’t get it. How could abducting James be worth all these?” he questioned, finding it difficult to understand how they would think a stupid idea was worth how they waned to get back at him.“Shut the hell up, Charles! You have nothing reasonable to say. We have had what we want, and it feels so good to know you’ve experienced defeat. If you thought you could have a nice life without me in it, then I hope this incidence have taught you that you can never be as big as you want.” Vera said, looking like she could hit him with any sharp object if she was allowed to.Then Tyson pushed James towards Charles. As Charles wanted to bend down to pick James up, Tyson shot him in the leg.“Ahhh!” Cha

The siren blew as they all parked their cars around Charles’ house. They had even called the fire trucks to put out the smoke and fire that had been caused by the explosion.Charles sat at the back of the ambulance as they ran a quick check up on him to be certain he was okay.“You are fine sir. You weren’t affected in any way.” One of the paramedics informed him.“Thanks.” Charles responded in a low tone.Just when he wanted to celebrate one of his biggest wins, this calamity befell him, and worst of all, the man who had abducted James had not gotten back to him, since then.“Mr. Lincoln, do you perhaps know of anyone who might have a grudge on you that could have done this?” One of the cops who walked up to him, questioned him, while holding a note in his hand.“I don’t have an idea. It’s more like I’ve gotten rid of the enemies who let themselves known that they are my enemies. Right now, I have no idea.” Charles spoke, sounding really broken.“Alright, we’ll ensure we get to the r

The next day, Charles woke up to James’ call. He rubbed his eyes, and then managed to sit up as he was feeling very tired. Although, he was meant to wake early today, especially because he had a flight to catch, but his bones were too tired to help him act as sharp as he ought to. As he answered his call, his eyes opened up immediately due to James’ overjoyed tone. “Boss! Boss! We did it! We finally did it!” James voiced out happily.Charles adjusted himself on the bed, and made his feet to touch the ground, wondering what news James had this time that made him to sound this way.“What’s going on?” Charles asked, with his curiosity taking the best of him.“Boss. Mr. Van actually did something great, last night. He told me this morning that he sent an email to Mr. Jayla about our need for vibranium, then he mentioned your name. About an hour after he talked to me about it, I received a response through the company’s email, from Mr. Jayla, expressing his joy that we had actually reac

Charles stepped on the throttle and zoomed off, trying to cut through and ensure no one was going to take up space on the road which he could take advantage of.“If I’m able to drive faster than this, I should get to the nearest hospital very soon.” He thought to himself and then sped up.Fortunately, there was no traffic congestion this time, and the hospital he planned to go to was just right around the next main road.There was just ten minutes left and apart from getting to the hospital, there would obviously be some little process one would have to go through before making payment. Soon, I got to the hospital, and then walked in immediately, heading to the reception.“Good day. Please I’ll like to make payment for any patient who is need of medical attention or anyone who hasn’t been able to make payment.” Charles said to the receptionist.“Alright, sir. We’ll go through the records now. Please kindly have your seat while I make my research.” “No. I need to make an urgent payme

When it was evening, he packed up his bags and was ready to leave for his home when James walked in.“You’re about leaving.” He said, noticing that he had packed up.“Yes. By the way, Mr. Van will be the one to go with me to Paris, and I’ll like to leave you to the company to take care of other things.”“Oh, are you sure about this? You know, you might need someone who you’ve really known, to go with you to another country.” James expressed his concern.Charles understood that he’s more vulnerable in a different country, especially with someone he hasn’t worked with, long enough to know if he had good intentions for him or not.“I understand. But I also need someone with experience, someone I can trust, that can stay back and that’s you. You don’t have to worry too much. Just do fine, here.” Charles spoke.“Alright, boss. I understand. So, are you going to set your eyes on the physical idea which the production team will prepare first, before you leave, tomorrow?” James asked, out of c

When Charles got to his office, he asked to be left alone as he needed to strategize and see how he could make things work.“System, show me how many points I have gathered altogether.” He inquired and waited patiently for the system to show him his points.YOUR POINTS ALL EQUAL TO 15. DO YOU WISH TO USE THEM? YES/NO.Charles tapped his chin lightly, thinking if he can get through with anything with those fifteen points.“Show me the skills I have as options.” He uttered, and focused his eyes on the screen before him.YOU HAVE THE VARIOUS SKILLS OPTIONS AND THE POINTS YOU CAN USE TO GAIN THEM AS WELL ARE AS FOLLOWS: A. FIGHTING SKILLS (15 POINTS) B. MIND READING SKILLS (20 POINTS) C. MARKETING SKILLS (25 POINTS) …Although, Charles was a bit worried with the number of points needed for the various skills and the points that would be needed for the last skill which the system would bring up. But more than that, he was more worried about if the last skill that would be brought up would

“We’ll talk more on this, tomorrow. As for today, you know how sacred it is for me. I won’t be engaging in any work, no matter how pressing it is.” Charles said, standing on his ground.“I understand, boss. It’s noted.” James replied, acknowledging what was more important to Charles, at this moment.They both stayed at the cemetery until it was 6pm.“Alright, it’s time to leave.” Charles urged as he rose to his feet.James also rose to his feet and helped Charles pack up the few things he had set up and then placed it in the car.“Thanks for your help, James. You should go home to rest and then tomorrow, we’ll look into the problem we have. Thanks for your concern again.” Charles appreciated him and then got into his car.James smiled and then walked to his car as well, then got into it and stared the engine immediately Charles drove off.He was glad that Charles was okay and nothing bad had happened to him, but he also hoped that their current problem at work would have a solution.

James tried to call him again, but his phone was still switched off. He rose to his feet, then rushed to his bedroom, preparing to drive out to where Charles was, but he stopped halfway when he got back to the living room.He already had a second thought and which was to be patient. He felt that the information could wait. After all, all he just needed was confirmation if they were to go on with the idea of using vibranium or not.In a situation like this, he was used to reaching out to Vera, but now, he couldn’t. Well, he was going to get used to it, soon. He decided to put a call through to Mr. Van and the reason he decided this was so Mr. Van could get a hang of this work quickly and know what to do in different situations.“Hello, Mr. Van.” He greeted.“Good afternoon, Mr. James.”“I hope you’re getting the hang of things at work?” James asked as he sat on the sofa.“Yes, I am.”“Alright then. I need you to make a research on people who have vibranium in possession.” James instruct

The next day, Charles had had his bath, and was searching through his wardrobe for something simple to wear.Today was his mother's memorial and as usual, he doesn't do anything on that day. He decided to wear a dark suit as that's how it has always been.After dressing up, and ensuring he was leaving nothing behind, he walked out of his room, with his shoes making tapping sounds which echoed as he walked down the stairs leading to his living room."Good morning sir." Martha greeted politely."Good morning." He responded with his hands in his pocket."Here are the flowers you ordered. They came in an hour ago." Martha informed as she handed the bouquet of flowers to him.Charles removed his hand from his pocket and received the flowers, then sniffed the scent in."Smells nice." He spoke as he nodded his head in acknowledgement. "Alright then. Until when I get back home."Charles turned towards the door and then halted before he turned back to her."You should also take the day off." He
