The two friends sat on a reserve, a bit of distance away from the crowd that was dancing to the rhythm of the music that was being played in the background.“So, what's up, man? You disappeared all of a sudden and reappeared today again. Where did you go without informing me?” Mike asked coldly.“Forgive me, Mike, for leaving without telling me. The truth is that it came unaware, and I had to travel as soon as possible after I was told…” Felix suddenly paused as he thought of a perfect lie to tell his friend.“After you were told what?” Mike curiously raised a question as he slid his hand into his trousers pocket and brought out a cigarette and lit it up.“Do you care for one?” Mike offered.“Not at all. I no longer smoke like before. At least, you should notice that I'm now a changed person. Didn't it reflect on me?”“Hmm… Well, I guess it did because of the expensive clothes you are putting on. Apart from that, you are still the same. Perhaps, the beards you left, too, dignified tha
Now, Aidan fixed a befitting place for them to meet. As planned, all of them met in a fixed place.These team members were seven, including Felix's friends. They were as follows, Aidan, Sharon; Kate, Wayne; Felix and his two friends.“Sorry, man. I couldn't convince my second friend to come with us. So, only the two of us were able to make it up to you.” Mike apologized to Felix as they sat around a table.“No issue about that, bro. I got you. At least, we have a good enough number to handle this issue.” Felix responded and Mike nodded.The room went silent for a while before the entrance finally opened. All of them turned their gazes to the entrance and found Sharon entering the room.“Sorry guys. I was stuck in the traffic, that's why I'm late.” Sharon apologized and they all nodded.Immediately after she sat down, Aidan stood up to address them.“I welcome you all. Thank you for honoring my invitation to work as a team to deal with issues we have on the ground. However, before I pr
Kate and Henry took a taxi and headed to Antonio's house. After a few miles of driving around the city, they arrived at the house Antonio sometimes takes her to as his father's house.Getting into the house wasn't tough for them because the gatemen knew Kate as Antonio's girlfriend. They weren't aware that they had broken up with each other.Kate and Henry were led to Antonio's parents, who were eating breakfast in the dining room.As soon as Antonio's parents set eyes on Kate and the young man standing beside her, Antonio's mom excitedly called out.“Hey, my daughter.” the old woman who appeared to be in her early sixties muttered.Kate and Henry walked up to the old couple sitting in the dining room alone without their son, or a grandchild. They respectfully exchanged pleasantries with Antonio's parents, without showing any sign that they were there for something different; rather than what they might be thinking.“Is he your younger brother that you told us about?” Antonio's fathe
The two ladies woke up at the same time in an unfamiliar room with their heads itching as if it were about to cut off.They were still feeling dizzy because of the strange powder charm that was used on them by their captors.“Where are we? And how did we arrive here?” Kate fearfully asked after noticing that they were in an unknown place.Kate and Sharon weren't only taken to an unknown place by the captors, but they were both tied to different chairs and set in the middle of the scanty, enormous room.With shaky hands, Sharon responded to Kate,“ I have no clue about where we are, Kate. It seems like we were tricked by those two young men that we were together with.” “I never wanted to trust those men, but I couldn't help it because of Aidan. He was in charge, and it wouldn't speak well if we challenged him about the formation. Now, see where we are. If only I knew, I would have opposed him.” Kate conversed with Sharon.“The same thing that I was thinking. We made a mistake by not ad
Just as he said that, Sharon and Kate became jittered. They knew that Antonio was certain about what he was saying. If he could poison his girlfriend's mom, then what else can't he do?Nothing!“I never knew you were this evil, Antonio. I should have known this from the beginning. You are a big shame to humanity. I hate you to the core, Antonio.” Kate spat out every word with anger as she grimaced at the young man who was standing before them with an evil smile.The room went silent for a while as Antonio pondered what to tell her. He crossed his arms above his chest and chuckled as he gazed at Kate.On the contrary, Mike and Henry stood behind the two ladies in case Antonio or Gregory ordered them to cut off their heads as usual.These two young men have been working for Gregory for a long time, even before Felix fled from the police to country B, but he wasn't aware of this.Haven't said that, the reason Mike began to work for Gregory was because his father and Gregory were business
“Hey, what's happening? I haven't heard from Kate, Sharon, Mike, and Henry.” Aidan's voice echoed from the earbuds, calling for Felix's and Wayne's attention.“Hmm… that's what I was about to say before you overtook me,” said Felix as he stood before an enormous hotel, pondering if he should enter the hotel and check out or not.“I have a feeling that something might have happened to them or probably one of the teams.” Wayne's voice echoed as he stood beside Felix.“Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?” Aidan asked with his gaze fixed on the busy road.“Hmm… maybe and perhaps not. What are you thinking?” Felix asked.“Felix, how long have you known those guys? I'm afraid that they might have harmed Kate and Sharon. Are you certain that they are people we can trust?” Aidan inquired.Upon hearing Aidan's question, Wayne said to himself, “These were the questions you were supposed to ask before you decide whether these guys should join us or not. Is this boy too late to ask such quest
Felix, Wayne, and Aidan met at the place where they had the previous meeting as a team.Immediately after Aidan had given the guns to Felix, Felix informed Mike.Mike sent a different address from the place he was presently in. However, Mike didn't fail to inform Wayne and Aidan.“The two remaining guys shouldn't follow you, please. I believe that Antonio will see us from afar if we are approaching the location he promised to send soon. I tell you, these two guys have numerous unknown agents that are working for them. They are almost everywhere in the city. “So, you can imagine where he would bewhile watching his boys bring you to him. However, you guys should be alert because we might call for help anytime soon after Felix has successfully met with Antonio and Gregory.“The last thing is, please don't involve the police in this. If you do so, then it would be hard for us to achieve our goal.” Mike advised.“Yeah, we know what to do. There's no need for you to remind us, man…” Wayne
An hour later, Felix woke up in a strange place, feeling dizzy as if he were beaten up by some gangsters.“Ahh…!” Felix shrieked sorrowfully as he blinked his eyes repeatedly, trying to figure out where he was.“Felix, are you okay?” A low tone of voice echoed in his ears, calling for his attention. He lazily raised his head and looked at the two ladies who were tied beside him.Upon setting eyes on Kate and Sharon, Felix was shocked to see them; he never knew it was a trap that was set against him.He stared at them for a few minutes, wondering if truly he was looking at his sister and Sharon.“H-how? And why?” Felix stammered. “What happened? How did I get here? If I could recall, I planned to meet with Mike, so how did I end up here?” He asked more questions.“See, Felix, your friends betrayed us. I wonder where you picked them from because they are not people. We should have trusted. They brought us here and kept us hostage. Unfortunately, they are working for Antonio.” Kate annou
