Pablo at the hospital

“Doctor, How is my patient’s condition?.”, James asks.

The doctor opens up his notebook pages while passing through the records as he checks the patient’s records, “Well, The patient is doing great actually. The bullets that he was shot by they just only left some minor injuries that’s all.”, Doctor replies while looking at his notebook.

James sighs with relief and exclaims, “Thank you lord.”

“So doctor!. When is my patient going to be discharged from the hospital?.”, James asks with curiosity.

“I think by today in the evening he will ready to go.”, The doctor replies.

“Okay thank you so much doctor for your help.”

The doctor replies, “No problem.”

The doctor closes his notebook and decides to leave the ward room, leaving James standing by himself as he looks at Pablo lying down on the bed unconscious. Shortly after the time passes, James decides to go to the nearest chair and sits down on the chair that is besides the room.

“Thank God that Pablo is alive. Now I will not have to worry anymore on what I’m going to say to his family.”, James speaks to his inner thoughts as he looks at Pablo laying down on the bed.

In few moments as James waits for Pablo to wake up from his bed, Suddenly Pablo opens up his eyes slowly and looks around the hospital ward. “What happens James, Where am I right now?.”, Pablo mutters to James slowly as soon  as he sees James sitting beside his bed.

James startles with surprises after seeing his boss awakes, “You are awake boss.”, and sighs, ”Oh finally.”, James replies with a smile on his face and decides to stand up from his chair and goes to his boss’s bed .

“What happened James?, Where am I?.”, Pablo mutters slowly while looking confused on his face.

“You are in the hospital boss. Don’t you remember anything?.”, James asks with confusion on his face as he looks at his boss.

Pablo shakes his head with disagreement, “No!. I don’t remember anything.”

“Yesterday we were at the Veracruz beach doing some business with Alexandra. Don’t you remember about that?.”

After James talks the details about Veracruz to his boss, shortly the memory starts click back one by one inside Pablo’s head as he begins to remembers back what happened to the transaction that they were doing with Alexandra which resulted into chaos. Pablo wakes up and sits properly on his bed. “James, where is the briefcase?.”, Pablo asks with curiosity on his face.

“What briefcase are you talking about boss?.”, James asks with confusion.

 “I mean the briefcase that contained the five million dollar cash for the transaction?.”

James sighs and looks Pablo, “Unfortunately boss the briefcases was taken by Alexandra when he shot you down on the ground.”, James replies.

Pablo grins and starts laughing by himself, “So this is how the game works now.”, Pablo speaks.

“Okay, we will see who is gonna be the king of this battle.”, Pablo speaks.

Pablo looks at James and extends his right hand towards his ,”Can you borrow me your phone  please?.”, Pablo asks.

James nods and replies, “Okay sure. Just wait a sec?.”

James puts his hand inside his suit pocket and removes his phone and then  gives it to Pablo with confusion on his face, “What is this man doing this time?. I hope nothing bad happens from this.”, James speaks to his inner thoughts.

When Pablo receives the phone from James, he then dials his contact numbers on the phone and calls immediately after he is done.

“Hello. Who I am talking to?.”, The person speaks on the phone as soon as he answers it.

“It’s me Pablo. Have you recognize my voice already Alexandra?.”, Pablo asks.

“Pablo?, The Pablo that I know is already dead longtime ago. Who am I speaking right now?.” ,Alexandra replies.

“The angel of your death.”, Pablo exclaims with anger,”  Listen fool don’t play  dumb with me, I know you are the one who shot me and also taken my five million dollar briefcase. You better start praying to your lord Jesus because if it happens I catch you on my sight. I will not hesitate to kill you by myself.”

Pablo hangs up the phone and returns it back to James, Leaving scared after hearing Pablo’s threats to Alexandra.

It’s 6:30 pm in the evening as Elias arrives at Vorture Company as he opens up the entrance door and enters inside the company. Elias walks inside the company and goes straight to the secretary’s desk. “Good Evening madam, How are you doing?.”, Elias greets the secretary and asks.

“I’m doing great. Thanks.”, The secretary replies.

“I need to speak with the boss. Is he inside his office?.”, Elias asks.

“He has not arrived yet but he told me that when you arrive here, you can just go inside his office and wait for him.” 

“Okay thanks for the info.”

“You are welcome.”, The secretary replies.

Elias leaves the secretary’s desk and goes to his boss’s office. When Elias opens the door and enters inside his boss’s office, He then sits down on the coach and rest as he waits for his boss arrival while checking on the news paper that rests on the top of the table. In few moments while Elias waits for his boss to arrive, suddenly Pablo enters inside his office with his two bodyguards. 

"Good morning Elias.", Pablo greets Elias as he goes to the nearby empty coach and sits.

"Good morning boss.", Elias replies.

"How are you doing today?.", Pablo asks.

"I'm doing great thanks.", Elias replies with a smile.

"Good, without any further ado. Elias there is something that i want to discuss with you today and I need your full attention on this."

Elias furrows his eyebrows with confusion and then replies, "Sure boss. Tell me, What is it that you want to discuss with me today?." Elias asks.

Pablo sits properly on his coach and looks at Elias straight while his eyes are fixitated towards him. 

"Listen Elias, I really need a favor from you this time.”

“What favor do you want from me?.”, Elias asks with confusion.

“The only favor that I’m asking from you this time is to win this match that I’m going to organize soon between you and Eden.”, Pablo replies.

Elias raises his eyebrow with confusion and asks, "But why boss?, Why are you so concerned about that match so much?."

"Because this is my only chance for me to return back the money that i have lost recently."

"Hold on, wait a minute. Did you try talking to Eden too about this matter?.", Elias asks.

"No!. I haven’t talked to him yet.", Pablo shakes his head with disagreement.

"But why?. How sure are you that he is going to agree with you about participating in this match?.", Elias asks.

"He will have to agree with me because if not. I don't know what I’m gonna do to him next"

Elias stands up from his coach with panic and exclaims, “What?.”

 "Why are you looking at me like that with so much anger on your face Elias?",Pablo asks.

"Listen boss, you will have to forgive me. I'm not going to participate in that match at all if you are gonna do that to Eden."

Pablo stands up aggressively from his coach while looking at Elias with anger on his face, "What are you saying young man?", Pablo asks.

"I have already told you that I am not going to participate on that match that you are planning to do.", Elias moves closely to Pablo and looks at him through the eyes.

Pablo grins at Elias and asks, "Your are not serious, aren’t you?."

“Yes I’m serious about this. For how long are you gonna torture innocent people for your personal interests?.” ,Elias asks.

Elias shakes his head with disagreement, “No thanks I’m not a part of your sick games anymore. I’m leaving.”

Elias decides to leave Pablo’s office after finishing talking to him. Before Elias opens Pablo’s office door, shortly Pablo orders his guards.  

"Boys catch him right now.", Pablo speaks.

Pablo’s guards darts straight to Elias and grasps his hand tightly as they return him to their boss. ,”Let go of me. Leave me alone.”, Elias shouts at the guards.

Pablo goes to Elias and looks at him straight into his eyes,

"So young man, you are saying that you aren’t gonna participate on this match right?.", Pablo asks.

Elias groans in pain as he tries to forcefully remove his hands from Pablo’s guards grip, "Yes that is correct. I'm not going to be anybody’s slave anymore", Elias replies with the fierce look on his face.

Pablo grins and speaks, "Listen young. Don't test my patience this time. It is better if you do what I'm telling you to do before things turns out really ugly."

"I’m not afraid of your threats. You can do anything you want but I’m not gonna participate on that match.",Elias replies while shouting.

Pablo looks at his guards and speaks, “Boys, You know what to do.”

After Pablo’s bodyguards receives an order from their boss, Shorty they decides to award Elias a brutal beating as Elias groans in pain without any mercy or help while Pablo returns back to his coach and sits, watching Elias how is being taken care of by his guards.
