“Scalpel”Ryan stretched his hand out to the nurse assisting him. She dropped the scalpel in his hand and he made to make an incision on his patient’s thigh. He saw the nurse exchange glances with the other nurse. He knew they were wondering why he was doing that because it was not something they had gone over in the briefing before the surgery. But, he knew what he was doing. Draco was with him, and he had gone over the advantages of performing the operation this way. He had outlined an increased 25% chance in survival with this method than the regular method they expected him to use.“Stitch that up for me, please” he said to the nurse who was still looking at him skeptically. He was beginning to get irritated and possibly uncomfortable at their unpleasing stares. Their jobs was to watch and assist him, not stare.“Run a line for me” he said again to the other nurse who was looking at him wide-eyed. Soon enough, they were done. And as he expected, following Draco’s instructions h

*145*As Ryan and Rebecca walked down the aisle looking every bit like the perfect couple seen on TV, no one would have believed that they were only getting to know each other. While Ryan rolled the cart like a perfect gentleman, Rebecca picked up items off the shelf that she needed to restock her house with.“Aren’t you going to get anything for yourself?”Rebecca asked Ryan as she smiled shyly.“Nah, I’m good. I’m just here to keep you company” he said with a smile which made her blush like a schoolgirl on lunch break with her crush.“I’m just going to go down that aisle and get some things” Rebecca said to which Ryan frowned before asking.“You don’t want me to come with you?”“No, that’s not it. I just don’t want you to get uncomfortable” She tried to explain.It took Ryan a minute to understand what she was referring to and when he did, he chuckled.“You do know that I am a doctor and I see quite a lot of personal things on a daily basis, right?” He said, not able to stop himself

“Ryan, you said he came to the hospital with his worker. Did anything worth of notice happen? Did he make a scene or something?” Evans asked.They were seated at the dining table in Ryan’s place, papers spread out in front of them as they tried to collate all the evidence they had against Smith to see how much chance they had against him because they knew that he had a solid legal team who could refute almost anything unless it was backed with strong, unshakable evidence. That was the only way they could get at Smith with the law.“No, nothing like that happened. He was very courteous, listening to the doctors and nurses. He even helped some of the nurses out with carrying some files.” Ryan replied to his question.“We know that Smith would not help anybody, more less his worker whom he sees as below him unless he was getting something out of it.” Turner, said from his position at the other side of the table to which Evans agreed and poked further.“Yes, that’s right. You said he help

“Hey, come in” Laura said to Rebecca as she opened the door wider for her to step in through after they shared a quick hug. Rebecca walked in and dropped her bag on the couch before she sat down heavily and sighed loudly.“So, I was about to watch a movie. I just put some popcorn in the microwave. You game?” Laura asked from the kitchen which she had quickly walked back into after Rebecca entered since she was trying to prepare snacks for the movie marathon she planned on embarking on.“Rebecca?” Laura called out when there was no response from her friend. She frowned and walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on a dish towel wondering why Rebecca was ignoring her.She peered into the living room where she saw Rebecca staring into space.“Rebecca?” She called again but there was no reply. Her friend’s weird silence made Laura worried because it had been ages since she saw her friend in such a mood. She looked way too sad and that was not something she was not used to seeing in he

“Let’s go sit on the patio and have a drink before we retire for the night while your room gets prepared.” Evans said to Ryan as he picked up a bottle of white wine and two glasses. Ryan stood up from the couch he was sitting on after the party and followed Evans out.“It’s a cool night!” Ryan mentioned as they settled in chairs opposite each other while Evans made to open the bottle of wine before he started pouring into the glasses.He poured a generous amount in each of them, far more than was poured in societal settings before raising his glass to clink it against Ryan’s as they cheered before sipping at it.“Ooh, this is the good stuff,” Ryan remarked as he picked up the bottle to check the name of the wine so he could get one for himself the next time he was out.“Don’t worry; I will make sure a few bottles are packed for you before you leave tomorrow. I got them on my last trip to France.” Evans said, chuckling before lifting his glass to his lips and swallowing about a mouthfu

“What about your husband?” Ryan asked the woman sitting opposite him.“He’s late now, he died a long time ago and I’ve been taking care of my son on my own all these years without any help. But I don’t see how I can deal with this alone.” The woman said to him tearfully. She had come into his office at the charity home where he was working for the day, crying about her son who was in the hospital for a debilitating illness that required immediate surgery. She needed a sizeable amount of money for the surgery and as a single mother, she did not have anywhere else to go because her husband was dead and her family was practically nonexistent.As he looked at her, Ryan knew that he was going to give her the money whether or not she passed their preliminary checks because his heart was greatly moved by her predicament and made him remember the days when he was poor and didn’t have anyone to rely on for basic things.He asked her some follow up questions and so far, she was answering ever

“Is this better now?” Rebecca asked her mum after fluffing her pillows and rearranging the cover cloth which was draped on her feet for her. Her mum nodded and she walked out to go get a glass of water as she requested.“Here’s your water, mum.” She handed her the glass of water and her mum invited her to sit on the bed with her. The moment she sat, her phone rang immediately. Rebecca checked who the caller ID was. However, she doesn't pick the call. Rather, she ignored it.Her mother observed what happened, but she chose not to say anything at the moment.“You know that you don’t have to wait on me hand and foot, right? I am in remission now and I am okay.” Her mother said as she touched her face. Rebecca nodded and breathe in the scent of her mother.“I know that but I’m just so glad that you are okay. When you were sick, I was so worried and scared that I was going to lose you because I felt like I had not spent enough time with you and now that I know you’re still here with me, I

Jessica walked down the sidewalk, pulling her new jacket around her thin frame tighter because the evening wind was way colder than she expected.She was meeting up with Roberts in a parking lot because he did not want to risk them being seen now that they had kicked off the plan of ensnaring Ryan.As she got into the parking lot, she looked around for the black truck he had given her the license plate of and at first, she didn’t see it until she did a second lap around and saw that it was tucked in a dark area. She approached it, knocked on the glass and let herself in since the door was not locked.“Took you long enough to get here.” Roberts said as she got settled in the passenger seat.Jessica didn’t reply to that as she knew he had a short fuse.“Have you been able to make any progress so far?” He asked, and she shook her head in negation.“What have you been doing all these time?” He asked, his voice rising.“I met him at the grocery store a few days ago but he was with someone

“Why are you so nervous?” Turner asked Ryan who was pacing the floors of his home, sweat running down his back and his breathing a bit chopped.“This is huge, Turner. This is huge!”“But you both are on the same page, right? There’s nothing to be nervous about”“No, the streamers shouldn’t go down that way. And why are they yellow? I don’t want anything yellow.” Ryan said to one of his staff who was hanging up the streamers, not answering Turner.“Okay, you’re one step away from scaring them and making them run for the hills. Come have a drink.” Turner smiled as he stood up and guided Ryan out of the living room and into the dining room.“Why is the cake still out? Shouldn’t it be cooling off in the freezer? It’s not yet time for it to be out.” Ryan commented as he spied the cake with lettering on the counter.“Apparently, this place is off limits too.” Turner added before he dragged him up the stairs. When Ryan protested, Turner stopped at the landing and spoke to him.“Listen, Ryan

“Greetings.” One of the students who passed by the school greeted me with a bow. Ryan who had been staring at the completed and now functional school building tore his eyes away from it and responded to the student who was already several steps ahead. He looked around to realize that sometime during his gazing, the students had let out for their lunch break. From where he was standing, he could see that some were milling around in the garden and having lunch while some preferred to make use of the outdoor café. He knew and was quite aware that others would be scattered around the indoor cafeteria and different lounges at the different corners of the school. He had decided it was best the students had a wide variety of places to choose from to have lunch. Experience they say is the best teacher, from experience he knew quite well how it felt to suffer through humiliation in the cafeteria and even worse not to have anywhere else to go. This even sponsored his reasons and gladness to

“Roberts, you never told us how it went on your end.” Lewis said as he popped open another bottle of red wine, poured into his glass and brought it to his lips.“What are you talking about?”“How did the project with Jessica pan out? Was it completed successfully?” Smith asked, irritated at how slow Roberts was being.“Oh, that?” He said flippantly as he swirled the wine in his glass.“The assassin carried out the job without a hitch. He told me that he stabbed her more than 5 times and left her to bleed out in a dark alley. She was taking her last breaths when he left and there was no one in sight to help her so now, we have nothing to worry about because our tracks are clear.”Smith smiled and raised his glass, inviting the other men seated around him to a toast. They celebrated Jessica’s death. Her death meant that there was no one who could point fingers at them especially with Turner one step away from the grave.“Soon, there will be no more obstacles in my way and I will have my

“Remember that we have to remain calm no matter what he says or does.” Evans said to Ryan as they walked towards the place where they had kept Monroe all the while because he knew Ryan had the propensity to be erratic sometimes.“I know that.” Ryan nodded“Okay, good.”They got to the room and without any hesitation or stopping to think about the decision they had arrived at concerning their hostage, Ryan turned the doorknob to reveal the inside of the room. There, Monroe was, strapped to a bed; his mouth duct taped so he didn’t make a sound and alert anyone. Not like there was a single living soul that could be found for miles but still, it was better to be safe than sorry.“Hello, Monroe. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Evans asked, as he strolled into the room behind Ryan, a smile on his face.Monroe saw them and began to wrestle with his bindings eager to be out of them. He thrashed and thrashed on the bed while screaming at them or rather attempting to scream at them seeing as th

She ran like her life depended on it, weaving between parked cars and alleys because it did.She was being chased by someone she didn’t know. She had on Nike shorts and a plain black tank top with her hair in rollers looking like she was about to go to bed because that was what she had been trying to do when she heard a crash from outside her bedroom door, down the hall from the toilet.When she crept out, she saw a shadow from under the door because the light was still on and she hightailed it out of there, hoping to get a bat or something to defend herself. However, when she saw a big, burly guy coming to her with a knife, she took off outside the house, to save herself.She was still running, looking back at intervals to see where he was. Previously, she was several steps ahead with a large gap between them but the last time she looked back, she saw that he was way closer. She cursed her luck at not keeping in shape with her body when she finally had enough money to afford a gym

Ryan walked into the hotel where he was meeting Smith and went straight to the receptionist who was all smiles.“Good morning.” He greeted her before letting her know that he was supposed to be meeting with Mr. Smith and wanted directions to the private meeting room Smith had asked to be met at. It was a new upscale hotel that was the rave of town. It was no surprise that Smith had chosen the hotel for them to meet because it was a neutral ground as neither of them had shares in the hotel though there were rumors that Smith planned to acquire it. After all, he liked the way it was growing rapidly. “The maître d’hôtel will be here to escort you shortly. I will just place a call to him now.” The receptionist said after confirming his identity and checking that indeed Smith had reserved the private meeting room.Ryan nodded and took a seat in the lounge as she asked. He was not seated for long before the maitre d’hôtel appeared to take him to the meeting room. He stood up and after adj

“What I need is a hot shower, a hot meal and sleep. Exactly in that order.” Ryan muttered as he dragged his tired body into his house. He plowed straight into the shower in his room and proceeded to have his bath.He had just finished the first task he was given, which was to give out 100 million dollars to a hundred beggars in 3 hours and he was extremely tired, who wouldn’t? It had been a hell of a day and he wanted his bed badly.He quickly sent a text to the chef to send his dinner up because he didn’t have the strength to trudge downstairs. He laid on his bed covers, still tying his towel. He knew that if he got under the covers, he would be asleep faster than a light went out.Suddenly, his phone rang. He stretched his hand out on the bed and picked it up, his eyes squinting to see who it was and he was excited to see that it was Rebecca calling. He sat up in his bed and leaned on the headboard, his finger about to slide up to answer it when he stopped. He remembered the mann

“What exactly are you saying to me? I don’t understand all the medical terms you just mentioned.” Jessica said as she looked at the doctor from her seat at her mother’s side. The doctor blinked at her slowly.“Let’s have this conversation outside, please.” His voice was almost a whisper as he directed her outside the room her mother was lying in and then began to explain what he had said earlier in clearer terms.“What I am telling you is that your mother has no chance of living anymore. From her prognosis, she has at best, a few days to live. I’m sorry!”Jessica was shocked and she gaped at him for a while before she got her words back.“No, no, no!”“I’m sorry.” The doctor apologized as he shook his head.“No, doctor, there has to be something that you can do. My mother can’t just die like that. You can’t just abandon my mother like that.”“I’m sorry but there’s absolutely nothing more we can do for you. Her cancer has spread and eaten into so many of her organs. It is a miracle tha
