Christian's eyes widened as he got to the scene, he saw the pocket knife in the man's hand and realized he'd gotten there just in time, what if he'd been a second late? "Put the knife down, boy, I won't say it again," Chris emphasized. The boy turned to him with a sneer, "And if I say, no? What will you do, punk?" He asked again, this time even advancing with the knife. Christian could see Shirley move away from the wall of the alley, clutching the back of her head. Then suddenly the boy turned to her and she flinched, "I'm not done with you, bitch! If you don't want to get hurt then stay right where you are," he snapped threateningly and turning to Chris he said, "Once I'm done with this motherfucker, I'm coming for you." Chris looked at him closely, despite his small and sturdy frame, he wasn't as young as he'd first thought, maybe in his early thirties or late twenties, he wore a thick coat over another thick turtleneck with long sleeves - and it wasn't even that hot outside. T

Christian dropped the girl home that night and gave her his business card. Although she was curious at first and asked why he still wanted to speak with her, he assured her it was just to check up on her and just in case she needed help with Ben if he returned. Shirley finally took the card and thanked him for the night as she got home. The next day, Christian hadn't gotten more than a full hour of sleep, as he got into his car that morning, even his eyes were heavy with sleep but his head couldn't quiet down for him to get any. Three cups of espresso later and he was feeling a little more alive, he decided that breakfast would wait and he needed to make another trip to where the pub was early. Because of the ruckus from the previous night, Christian decided to take another car, this time he picked out something more low-key, something that wouldn't stand out like a freaking goldfish. On his way, he received a call from Shirley. "Hello, am I speaking with Christian Robinson?" He

Shirley's heart hammered in her chest, she didn't want any trouble with her aunt. She was already in her bad book as it was. "I think we should be going, I have somewhere to be," she emphasized and Christian rose from his seat and nodded. At the car, she got in before he could offer to get the door for her. She day silently, her face cast off, an open expression that said she didn't want to speak to him at all. Chris did not want to push her, but did he have the time to play sweet and gentle? He needed answers and from her brazen reaction a few minutes ago, it was clear that she had those answers. "Do you want to talk about the second change in mood? You seemed okay a few minutes ago and then I mentioned my friend and you're all...well... I don't know what this is," he said lightly, Shirley didn't look like the kind of girl he wanted to push around. As much as she seemed vulnerable and was clearly in a rough patch, she had a certain fierceness and determination in her eyes. "It's

Christian showed up at her doorstep the next morning, he felt like an idiot. The girl had told him to get lost and never look for her again. But who else ought to go? Her nasty aunt who disliked him from the very first night for leaving her beer untouched? He was certain the old lady would chase him with a fucking broom.A few knocks after, the front door swung open and there she stood, with a tank top and pair of shorts jeans that made him swallow nervously. "What do you want? I thought I made myself clear that I didn't ever want to see you again, ever," she said but Chris stood his ground, he couldn't be dismissed that easily. If he couldn't talk to her, then speaking with the aunt would be much worse. "Sorry, I...I know you said that but...we need to talk," he insisted. Shirley sighed and closed the door behind her, keeping him out of her small apartment. "Let's talk right here, what do you want?" She said stubbornly and crossed her arms. "It's about the pub, listen, I know yo

Later that afternoon, after Christian Robinson had given all the information he could to his investigators just in case he needed them for backup, he arrived at Karen's place. Shirley had sent him the location but she didn't quite include how fancy it was. Christian reminded himself that he had to thank Shirley properly when all of this was over. As he parked across the house in his beat-up old Ford truck, he felt out of place. He'd picked out the car to blend into the small neighborhood, but now, he didn't think it was such a great idea. The building looked intimidating, from the glass doors to the large pool outside and even the two sports cars parked to the left. He wondered if a woman Karen's age was still agile enough to take an interest in sports cars. But his question was answered shortly after when he saw a boy no older than twenty years bounce out of the house. He was fancily dressed and a blonde was all glued to his side. Christian watched as he smacked her butt and she

Christian drove off from the fancy house and decided that he needed a stiff drink. The visit had not gone like he'd planned - or maybe it had because he'd know she wouldn't budge all along. At least one thing was certain now, she definitely knew Berlin and she didn't want to sell the place. There was no way an old lady could afford two Ferraris and a fancy crib just by selling warm beer at a pub that looked ready to close down. She definitely had some aces up her sleeves and Christian was ready to bet that Berlin was part of it. A few minutes later, he got to a decent bar where he decided to have a bottle of beer, not just because of the taste of actual good beer but because he needed to look around the neighborhood a little more and maybe pick up a few gossip. And there was no better place to get informed about a small town like the bar. "What can I get for you, sir?" The pretty bartender asked just as he took the barstool. "The best of your beer, please." He replied and she wink

Christian Robinson was faced with two options right there on the barstool. Walk away and hope the nosey man wouldn't mention it to anyone else that he was searching for Orton Berlin or talk to him and see if he could get help.He was losing valuable time and that was the one thing he did not have, not when Jupiter had met him herself to threaten him - and yes, he knew it was a threat alright. Christian finally caved in and decided that he needed help, there was no way he could leave that small town and still not find Berlin, not when Otec was at a dead end and time was running out. With a sigh, he turned to the man and asked, "What do you know about Berlin?" The man had a wry smile on his face, clearly satisfied with himself for successfully convincing him. He looked at him and then around the bar and said, "I don't think this is a good place to talk, come on, let me take you somewhere private. Christian sized him up, he was a foot inches shorter, and he looked sturdy but not too s

The drive back home after that day was long and tiring, he couldn't wait to call his investigators and find out what they'd gathered so far. Apart from his meeting with Ken, there was no progress on his end. But at least, he could now understand Karen's paranoia and defensive attitude. The old woman wanted to hold onto her cash source and Ken wanted that too. He could almost sense some underlying backstory to all that Ken had said, but it was useless to pry, the man had been the one to call him and if he wanted to tell him half the story then there was nothing he could do. As Christian drove by Shirley's place later that evening - he'd not just driven by actually, he'd taken a route that was much longer just to get to her neighborhood. But after several taps on the door, he discovered she was either not home or didn't want to see him, so he quietly left. ___________________________________________________________________The next day, Christian left home at first light - as had bec

Sonya couldn't believe her eyes, she gasped and that was how she fell into the orbit who was right behind her. One of them caught her swiftly and everyone quickly called for the company doctor. Chris remained calm. She was just in shock and would no doubt be revived with a little air and water. He could only imagine what it felt like to be thrown down after such years in power. "Where have you been, son?" Pa Pete asked and Julius only smiled. He was a spitting image of his twin, Evans Robinson and he didn't look like the years had treated him badly at all. Some of the men on the table who knew that their hands were stained and they'd been working with Sonya to condemn Christian, all looked down in shame because they could face him or Julius. "Now that you're back, what will be the fate of the executive board?" One of them mustered the courage to ask. But that wasn't really what he meant and everyone could tell. He was trying to find out what Julius would do to them that had gotten

Evans was a little shaky as the man took them to the inner recess of the tunnel and it became dark. Christian could still remember the way to Orton and he certainly could tell that it wasn't the same route they were being taken. "What's going on? Aren't we meeting with Orton anymore?" He asked and the man simply looked at them without saying anything. Christian swallowed nervously but quietly followed him until they got to a part of the tunnel where the light became brighter and they could see a glass room in the distance. Right through the glass sat an old man at a desk, Orton. "While I still breathe," Evans said as he entered the glass cave. "I never thought I'd see you after so many years, I could swear you vowed never to see the Robinson family again." Orton looked at them quietly and then offered them both the double-seated couch, asking if they needed a strong Irish coffee. "We'll be needing more than a cup of coffee from you," Evans replied with a serious face. He pulled ou

Evans had a plan and that plan was foolproof - or so they both believed. Right there in the living room, Christian showed the token to Evans and after he stared at it in awe, he said it would take them right to Berlin. They arrived at the small town the next day. Evans was in the front seat and Christian was in the driver's seat. His face was twisted in an ugly frown. "I told you to let Potter drive us, he's more mature on the wheel, we almost had an accident on the way here, I hate to think what will happen as we return," Evans said as he stepped out of the vehicle. "I hate this place, I could almost swear nothing would ever bring me back here," he spat angrily. Evans laughed at him, "Never say never, my son, life can be a rollercoaster sometimes," he said. Christian wiped at his head, a bead of perspiration had formed from the warm air. He pulled off his sunglasses and stared at the small pub that still stood in the distance. Karen was still in business and that only meant one t

It was four days after the legendary meeting at the Robinson lobby. Christian hadn't shown up at the company for that long. It made Jupiter happy that one thing she'd hoped for had worked out - Christian was too embarrassed to come back out. That fateful afternoon, Christian was at the Robinson estate after such a long time. If there was ever going to be a time he needed Evans' help, it was then. Arriving at the door, it was Melissa who welcomed him in and he nodded at her mutely and crossed the threshold. "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Christian," Melissa said as she ushered him in. Christian didn't say anything still. He didn't want to talk to her, he was in too sore a mood too. "I know what...how it went last time was not ideal. I know you trusted me with...well, I disappointed you and tried to cause a rift between you and Evans, I'm sorry," she said. Christian again simply nodded. Melissa sighed, she looked remorseful. She was dressed in a sheer green gown and shaw

Sonya did not look so confident anymore, her weak bones trembled and she quickly grabbed onto the desk for support. Christian still wore a smirk on his face as his grandfather, Pa Pete looked warily at the document on the desk."You got the deal?" He asked, his tone disbelieving. Christian did not reply, at least not verbally, he remained standing with a smile on his face. "This is ridiculous!" Sonya yelled, "There is no way this boy could secure a deal with Otec, there is also no way in hell that he knows Orton Berlin," she snapped. Christian dipped his hands into his breast pocket and retrieved the token that Orton had given to him, he did not bother handing it to her but simply slammed it on the table. With shaky wrinkled hands, Sonya picked up the token, she turned pale, her eyes wide in shock. "But how! I have been dying to meet this man all my life, how could you get the Supreme token?" Sonya asked, still in disbelief. "You are not the only one that can weasel your way into p

Sonya took the flowers and had half the mind to toss it in his face but she had to reign in her temper. She instead snatched it up aggressively and tossed it at one of the Orbits who held it like it burned. "What do you have to say concerning the challenge you called, Christian? Are you having a change of heart?" She asked and immediately one of the board members said loudly, "He can't do that! The entire board knows about it and we won't allow such cowardice!" The man snapped. "Who said anything about backing out?" Christian asked and the man began to stammer foolishly before sitting down. Jupiter was pleased with the way they all treated Chris, everyone was attacking him. "Will we all let him speak?" Pete snapped, his voice rising above the others. Christian rose and nodded at the roses he'd just gifted Sonya, "I picked those out myself, it's a shame you won't even appreciate it," he said and Sonya rolled her eyes, "I didn't recall asking you for any flowers, Chris, last I checke

Pa Pete was hesitant to begin the proceedings of the meeting and everyone on the table noticed, especially Chris who was just right beside him.Sonya must have noticed too because she smiled and said mockingly, "Are your feet getting heavier for you, Pa Pete? Perhaps it's not just your grandson that needs replacing, you too might be getting a little too old for that seat." Pete ignored her and looked at Christian who calmly nodded at him, a silent approval to commence the meeting. There was no need to wait, it wouldn't change the outcome of the meeting anyway. The orbits were right behind Jupiter, all six of them stood like rods, stuff, unyielding, with their hands crossed. Pete looked at them scornfully and then cleared his throat a little too loud. "Is there something you have to say? We don't have all day, Pete." Sonya said, her lips still bearing the same smile she'd exited the vehicle with that morning. "I think we all know what I'm about to say," Pete said, looking at member

Hope is a formidable force, even a single ray can light up the darkest abyss. Christian Robinson could attest to this as he woke up that morning, feeling a lot better than he'd slept. He had a feeling that the world was aligning right where it ought to be and he was at the helm of it all - where he'd always wanted. "Sir, your suit just arrived," his servant bowed as he entered the room. Christian hadn't heard him knock but he was sure he had, he'd no doubt been too lost in thought to hear. "Thank you, I'll be right out." He replied and the man nodded as he left. He looked again at the mirror and smirked, his crisp white shirt was tucked beautifully into his black trousers, and his shoe just a little shiny. He'd called back his servants the previous evening just as he'd gotten that token from Berlin. He had a feeling his life was about to change for good, he had a gut feeling. Christian left the room and took the suit from the servant as he got to his car - he'd decided he was dri

The exit of the tunnel led to a small boutique that was on the outskirts of town, close to where the train station was. As he climbed up to the stairwell and pushed the door open, he noticed that no one seemed interested in him even though they'd seen him crawl out of the ground. The receptionist at the desk simply looked at him blankly as he walked out the door and Christian figured that the establishment belonged to Orton, a way of making the tunnel he'd made. It was a brilliant idea, there was no way someone could guess that there was an entire world down there, an entire company. Chris could not get to his car that morning, he'd barely been able to get home in time for a change of outfit before he headed down to Otec - again. This was his second time parked outside the gigantic building and he didn't fail to marvel at the beauty of it all. He sighed as he pulled out the proposal from his dashboard and clutched the token that Orton had given him firmly in his grip. Coming down
