Radley waited outside the ward, praying in his heart for James to survive. It's being thirty minutes since they wheeled him in and that only got him worried.

After what seems like forever, the doctor walked out.

"Well, he is out of the critical stage, but we still need to observe him for any complications."

Radley nodded as he said that while the doctor left as he has another patient to attend to.

Just in a matter of hours, the hospital have become a place where he has spent a lot of time.

He sat down and clenched his hair. He was relieved that James was still alive, but the thought of what might have happened to him, filled his mind. He couldn't imagine that.

He took in a deep breath before he stood up and left for the ward where James was wheeled to. James was on the bed with his eyes closed, all bandaged up.

Radley sighed again and sat down beside him, but not taking his eyes off his face. He felt pity for him. His face wasn't spared by Felix and his g

    Dwayne looked up and saw the blackmailer pushing Rielle's chair towards the back door he must have entered through. "Rielle." Dwayne said and stood up to go after them, but was stopped by fire, burning fast. Dwayne looked around and noticed the line of gas, round them. He moved back, as the fire separated Rielle from them. "Dwayne, Radley." she called out, before she was taken out. "Rielle!!" Dwayne called back and went to open the front door but it was locked from outside. "Oh goodness." the fire was burning fast, and soon surrounded them. He pushed and pushed the door, trying to open it but it wouldn't bulge. The smoke was suffocating and he fell to the floor weakly, coughing out loud. He looked at Radley who was still unconscious. If he was awake, he would have easily found a way out for the both of them. He shut his eyes tight, and shook his head. Why can't he also think of a way to save them instead?

Fortunately, they met Batista in seat. “Any problem guys?” Batista asked. “Do you have any information about Windsor, Omar’s brother?” Oliver asked. “No… but his compartment still exists” Batista said with a smirk. Then he took them to a part of the Vatican that no ordinary member of the Vatican had seen. “Every year the Vatican grows but since you left for the void, it stopped. Jean and I realised that it didn’t need any more replacements. These compartments down here belong to some prolific members of the Vatican whether good or bad. Here, you’ll find the compartments of the likes of the Murphy twins, Heraldine and Hades- your parents, Ole-your uncle, Omar and Windsor, Omar’s brother” Batista explained.

Soon, he found himself appearing in front of Omar. “I don’t know how to find my brother” Omar said sternly then snapped his finger and sent Roland back to his body. “What did he say?” Oliver asked in annoyance. “Still the same thing” Roland replied. “Well go back and tell him that I can’t get h
