A sharp look appeared on the inspector's face as he tried to think properly.

"This is not something you can command of me. I have bosses in this job, and they have mandated that I do not mingle with them if I do not want to be scarred. I'm sorry but I don't love humanity more than my life."

A shrewd look appeared on Jerome's face, too, as he thought about the latest situation. "This is one of the most annoying things I have heard in a long time but listen, I didn't bring him here for you to read those lies that you have been taught. I came here so that I can have a lot of time to myself. I also wanted you to have a good time but here you are misbehaving and making me feel like I made a huge mistake. My only mistake is not taking this seriously when I should have."

I felt a nudge, and I immediately rose, "You realize how important this is to everyone, right? This is a cultural shock and a slap to the force at large. If you make me take this to greate

    The walls of the prison cell closed in on me, as I approached realizing the gravity of the situation. After our attempt at getting close to Mikky, we realized that it was going to take too much time and energy getting someone who was ready to fight for our cause. The best option was to stay away and pretend like nothing happened. Who would have thought that I would be sneaking into the prison cell just to have a conversation with Mikky. Actually it was like a monitor, and I had no choice but to try this route. Jerome was already getting tired of pushing so much for answers without getting none. There were a lot of things going on at the same time but the only thing that stood out was the fact that there was still some hope in both of us to get answers tonight. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I picked it up. "Are you inside the facility already?" He asked. I refused to reply because that wasn't our code. We had perfected our answer pattern which made things pretty easier for us

    There was a knock on the door, shocking both of us but I quickly raised my gun even higher in the air so that he realized that I wasn't joking with him from any angle. "Are you serious right now? Do you want to get caught? Trust me the moment this door is open you are going to be convicted and there is nothing, absolutely nothing you can do about it." Mikky bragged, also having a form of fear in his stance. "Right... Maybe I would finally have reasons to go to jail, but I can't see the same for you because you have every right to be as foolish as you can... Do you understand what this means?" He didn't say a word and instead kept on staring at me. "Please do not destroy your life simply because you want revenge. I know how you must feel but I'm going to compensate you as soon as I get out of here. You don't have to do all of this to prove a point. One of the things I hate most about people is the fact that they always choose the wrong things in life. I don't want you to be one of t

    My hands trembled with anger as I tried to calm myself down so that I didn't do something stupid and end up in jail. My conscience wouldn't let me retaliate exactly how I would have loved to. Doing the same thing that they had done to me was going to yield a lot of results than letting nature and the law take its course. "I'm sorry that my father caused you harm. You were the one who caused it. If you had not challenged me in any way, you wouldn't be in such a situation, I understand how disastrous this might be but even at that I didn't think my father was going to go to that extent. I beg of YouTube kindly forgive me so that we would have any issues in future."I folded my arms across each other while tapping my foot slowly contemplating my next move. Doing whatever I could wasn't the best way of handling things but thinking of the right way of punishing these guys would give me much satisfaction. "How many people are aware of this?" Mikky suddenly looked relaxed as he spoke. "I d

    Masking my shock was the hardest thing for me to do right now because I had only one option, to save him or to run away but neither sounded pleasant in my ears and I was telling the utmost truth. If I was going to be as truthful as I could, then I would have to do something about what has been going on. No one was supposed to lose everything that they had worked so hard to achieve just at the edge. I rushed towards him, grabbing his hands and packing up his bed sheets to stop the bleeding. "My arm!" He yelled as the pain probably seared through him but I was irritated. This meant that we had someone else who was trying to kill him. This was probably the consequences of his father's actions but I was not going to allow this to be pinned on me. A few officers would soon be arriving and if I didn't clean up the mess as soon as I could I was going to be in soup. Guess who didn't want to end up as a fried Turkey? You guessed right. "Shut the hell up, and let me treat your freaking w

    I heard the blare of horns in the distance, causing me to jolt out of my present situation.I thought of breaching the security cameras but that was only going to alert them but something was going on inside. Jerome refused to pick up the call anymore and that had me even more panicky than I should have been. If there was an issue it was his duty to reach out to me and inform me instead of leaving me in the dark to wonder what the hell happened to him. Had he been caught by the feds? If yes, then I was in hot soup. Mikky also gazed at me feeling a little bit victorious but I smacked him just as I had watched in movies, knocking him out.Escaping prison had to be something that I was only going to learn at the spot. No amount of watching the movie, 'prison break' prepared me for the reality of the situation as going ahead and ensuring that everything was rightly done. If there was something else I needed to put into place it was a

    Relief surged inside of me as I realized that I was not going to be found anytime soon. "You could go into the truck waiting for you outside. Just right at the corridor you're going to see some jackets on the floor. Pair it with your cup and walk away majestically like you belong there. No one is ever going to find out unless you tell them. I hope you don't make that mistake." I smiled at the thought of being caught and channeled my inner Annalise Keating in the series how to get away with murder. The only difference was that I was trying to save my neck. The first suspect would be me. Adding murderer to my bio wasn't going to be a pretty sight. I was going to have to fight a lot just to clear my name out of the mess. I sheathed my toy gun which I used to intimidate Mikky into my leather jacket pocket, before picking up the other coat which was exactly as he had directed me. It was at this point that I was thankful for having someone like Jerome behind me because I didn't think I

    The cranking sound increased making me even get more scared. “Tell me the car is not faulty.” I said, holding my breath. I was not about to die in the car crash simply because I was searching for answers that I could only get if I took my time and allowed the cops to handle it. “I guess we just might need to park for a while before we are able to ascertain what the issue is.” Jerome said but I wasn't confident in his words. Since he mentioned psychology I couldn't help but think that everything he was trying to do was just to make me feel alright when it was quite the opposite. “I wouldn't blame you if anything happened to any of those machines. I just need to know what the problem is.” That seemed to touch him because he applied the brakes, bringing the car to a sharp halt before looking at me. “I think the car had been tampered with. I don't know what exactly has been changed but this is not the usual sound. Now that is not all, the worst part of it is that we might hav

    "Just take her to the hospital and I was settle the bill from over here." I instructed Annie who sounded out of breath. Even if I was in a fire accident I needed to be on top of my situation. Courtesy of my grandfather. Is CEO was never to be caught off guard seeking help from his subordinates. That had helped me in a long time to always put myself first and find solutions as soon as I could think. "I don't have anyone to call. I don't have access to a car or...""Call Josh. He will pick up. He would never hear that my grandmother is in such a dilemma and ignore your call, even if he doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore." I assured her. Annie was a strong girl which I appreciated but sometimes she made it hard for me to even process a lot of scenarios because of her negativity. "I don't want you telling anyone what happened. This is strictly to be between you and I forever. Is that fine?" There was no response from Annie's end. "Annie, are you there?" I asked her a

    The crowd swarms City Hall’s steps again. Always with their banners, their chants, their 'hope'. I lean against the stone column, arms crossed. The mic waits. I don’t. “You want a mayor?” My voice cuts through the noise. They freeze. “Pick one. Not me.” Signs drop. Faces crumple. A woman in front—frayed coat, eyes red—steps forward. “But you 'exposed' the rot. You 'know' who’s clean!” “I know 'nobody’s' clean.” I jab a finger at the courthouse. Its cracked dome glints in the sun. “You think I’m your savior? I’m the guy who lights matches. 'You' rebuild.” Murmurs rise. A man shouts, “We 'trust' you!” Others echo. Trust. A fragile word. Brittle. “Trust?” I laugh. Hollow. “Trust got Gregory Tran killed. Trust let Coker fester. 'Trust' is your problem.” I turn to leave. Hands grab my sleeve. Desperate. Clammy. “Please,” the woman begs. “Just… guide us.” I shake her off. “Guidance costs extra.” ''' They follow me home. Petitions piled on my doorstep. Candles lit like a

    The cameras flash. Always flashing. Like a strobe light hell. 'Click. Click. Click'. I straighten my tie. Cheap polyester. Scratchy. 'Good'. Reminds me I’m not one of them. The podium’s edge digs into my palms. Cold steel. Biting. The crowd’s a blur. Suits. Lipstick. Teeth. Hungry for blood. “Ladies. Gentlemen.” I let the mic screech. Feedback whines. They flinch. 'Perfect'. “Tonight, we carve out the 'rot'.” A paperweight sits on the podium. Glass. Useless. I hurl it sideways. It explodes against the wall. 'Crash'. The crowd jumps. A reporter spills his coffee. Dark liquid bleeds across the road. 'Symbolic'. I don’t laugh. “Coker,” I say slowly. Let the syllables rot in the air. “Saint of the City? 'Bullshit'.” The screen behind me flickers. Grainy footage. Coker’s docks. Midnight. Shadows slithering. Crates cracked open. White powder glowing. Ghostly. “Drugs.” I click the remote.

    Jordan’s POVFirst, a ding, followed by a mild vibration.A smirk played on my lips as I dipped my hand excitedly into my pocket and brought out my phone. I had been expecting this message and it came at the perfect time.My eyes scanned the notification on the phone after which I unlocked it to view it better.It was from FriendsMe, a secret platform I and Josh created when we were just kids, whispering about taking over the world in hushed tones.Back then, FriendsMe had been a platform where we could dream big and fantasize about anything. It was our safe haven where we could plot our future and plot ideas without anyone watching us.But things had changed— I had changed.“I know it is you. Behind all of this. The accidents. The disappearances. The chaos. It’s you, isn’t it?” Josh asked.I let out a chuckle as I read the message again. Josh had always been smart but he wasn’t smart enough.I left the message on read and wanted to lock it when another message came in.“Listen man, I

    Jordan's POVThe scent of fresh paint and polished wood filled the air as I stepped into the Langston Consortium’s main building. Truly it was fascinating how far we have come and I was so proud of myself.Months of silence had been replaced with ringing phones, busy days and nights, we had so many clients that we had to open a waiting list and that still got filled up.I walked through the hall, hands tucked into my pockets, watching the company my grandfather built come alive once more. It was mine now and I hoped he was proud of the slight changes I made.His death didn't go unpunished and I wouldn't let anything happen to this company no matter the cost.Near the entrance, an older man in a faded suit approached, his steps hesitant. His gaze held quiet hope. “Mr. Jordan, I’ve been with this company for thirty years. My loyalty has never wavered. I—”I lifted a hand, cutting him off gently. “The past stays in the past. It’s time for something new.” I uttered in a finite toneHis th

    Jordan's POVThe courtroom was filled with tension. No one said a word but you could feel it in the air as we waited for the video to play.Mr. Coker sat stiffly at the defendant’s table, fingers locked together as though he wanted to strangle me.His lawyer whispered something, but he didn’t react. His jaw worked as if grinding gravel, his eyes shifting to the large screen where the next piece of evidence played.It was a briefcase exchanged proving Coker had bribed the inspector. The official took it with a quick glance over his shoulder, counted the cash, then nodded. Mr. Coker’s voice came through as he gave clear instructions. “This needs to be handled. No complications.”Gasps rippled through the courtroom.I leaned forward, hands gripping the armrest of my chair. My throat felt dry. Across from me, Mr. Coker’s wife pressed a hand to her mouth, face drained of color.The prosecutor stepped forward. His eyes flicked to the judge, then back to the screen. “For the record, this foo

    The weight of my words had barely settled before the world caught fire.We couldn't even continue the interview because of how fast the clips circulated on news channels, social media posts multiplying like cells under a microscope. The video surged past fifty million views in hours, tearing through every platform like a storm with no intention of slowing down. "Jordan Langston exposes billionaire Coker in a shocking interview!""Explosive truth: Young heir accuses Coker of murder!""What really happened to Mr. Langston? The answer stuns the world!"Comments, opinions, speculations poured in. Some hailed me as brave, a warrior dragging hidden rot into the light. Others called me reckless, a kid playing with fire, a target painting himself in the brightest red.I sat in the dim glow of my phone screen, scrolling, skimming, watching my own words loop over and over. The sound of hurried footsteps pulled me from the trance. The door swung open. My mother stood there, her breath uneven,

    I straightened in my chair wiping off invisible dirt off my suit, I was to look perfect today.We were at the TV station, bright lights beamed overhead, hot against my skin but I didn't break a sweat, we were surrounded by cameras and the interview team.Beside me, my lawyer adjusted his cuffs, his movements smooth, practiced, deliberate. He smelled like expensive cologne and fresh paper, like someone who knew his way around battles fought with words instead of fists.“You good Jordan” he muttered not out of care but hoped I wouldn't make the wrong move.“Never better” I reassured, giving a smile that would be stuck on my face for most of the interview.Soon the interviewer took her seat, a woman with clipped curls and eyes that held the hunger of someone searching for a story, she leaned forward. Her lips, painted the color of ripe cherries, parted as she spoke.“Nice to have you here today” she began giving a big smile for the camera before she returned to us."Mr Jordan, given the

    I trust Silvia to do just as I've told her to. All I was expecting at the moment was just results, results of the strings I was going to pull, something he'd never recover from. At some point, I felt selfish. I was literally putting Silvia's life on the line because I know he'd surely come for her after everything's going to be leaked. I should have tried another alternative. It just occurred to me. I gnashed my teeth in regret. I've been running for my own life and now I'd have to protect two souls at the same time, I grabbed my phone, “Silvia…yeah I know…as soon as you're done, grab a few stuffs and come over…I have spaces here…I know, but believe me when I say this, Coker will come for your head and he won't take chances, that's why I said you should come” I hung up the call almost immediately.
