Thousands of people were gathered from around the world in the largest hall of the Austelin company, to celebrate Bryan for his new position. The outside was filled with different varieties of expensive cars and busses which was used to convey the dignitaries and influential billionaires accross the world who came for the party. One would easily be lust in though mere by staring outside because of the cost of each car he could see there, and if not being careful, might get intimidated. The party was of two sections. The day section, which involves introduction of some dignitaries and gifting of the new CEO, and then the dinner party which would take place later in the day.The Austelin company was surrounded with lots of taxed force security men who knew that there might be an attack and they were ever ready to secure their client.The executive seat were already filled with important partners of the company, which Mrs pheona and her son were part off. Mr Warren and his daughter wu
Their eyes were blinking nervously as they fixed their gaze on Mr Warren who wasn't even feeling any concern" what do you mean by what am doing here, I'm using the toilet of course, why are you guys here ?" He asked. His reply made bryan reminisced back to when he today them he was going to use the restroom but what he couldn't figure out was that he saw a strange man rushed into the restroom but they couldn't find him anymore. what was going on ?****The police flooded the hall, doing some thorough investigations in search of the slightest evidence they could get. Bryan was very sure he saw someone ran into the bathroom, so how come he couldn't find the person anymore or are the dark shadows more of a Spiritual being that they could appear and disappear at anytime ? How did they even managed to get pass the tons of securities outside. if what he's thinking is true, then he has really underestimated their abilities." Anything ? " he asked he inspector who was approaching him with
it was a really unfortunate night for the Jing family as they all returned home from the party, seated in the sitting room and lamenting on what happened. Mrs. pheona, and Eva haven't still regained from the shock, as their hearts kept pounding in fright." I can't believe that stupid party had me running home like a 10 year old child. I have never been this embarrassed before. " Mrs pheona lamented angrily as the event kept reoccurring in her head. She had took to her heels amist the confusion without even thinking of anyone. Even her securities became a threat to her in the fearful congregation." Mum, I have never been this scared all my life. What if the explosion plan happened, that would been how I would have ended ?" Eva asked, still in shock." I blame the stupid boy for not securing that place well before inviting people over for a party. Always useless and careless like his dad. " Mrs pheona cursed unconsciously making them stare at her in interest of what she would say next
Hopper woke up with a text message on his phone— inviting him to Mr Bryan's office. His eyes widened as he stared at his phone carefully to Know what he was looking at. 'Bryan was inviting him to his office ? to do what ?' he thought. He turned to his side and saw Sasha still laying beside him, asleep. He wanted to wake her but he didn't." This must be a good news " he thought as he quickly jumped of the bed and ran into the bathroom to have his bath and get dressed. Having a meeting with the CEO of the Austelin company is everyone's prayer, or was he touched by the gift he gave to him at the party ? he has started opening his gifts already ?' he thoughtHe had gifted Bryan during the party and inside his gift was a request he wrote in a small paper, with hopes he would read and grant them. Seems he has finally seen itWhat amazes him the most is to think that bryan already got to open his gift last night, when there were over 50 people that submitted theirs before him. He dressed
Sasha had remained devastated since hopper got back home, as he refused to eat her food, neither did he listen to her plea.She racked her brain, trying to figure out who or what must have made her husband know about the bruises on her face, despite all her attempts to cover it up, until she suddenly got the answer." it must be, Bryan" she said out loud. She knew the whole drama started since he got back from Bryans' office, which was initially the cause of his joy. She became more afraid, knowing the reasons for her husband's suspicion, because she knew her intentions with Bryan last night. She knew she planned to act so naughty around him, without considering the fact that she was now married. What if he knows that she sneaked out of the house last night, after faking her illness ? What if Bryan actually told him that she tried to seduce him ? Hopper would be really mad.*******it's been a week since the ugly event that happened at Bryan's celebration party and the police are still
No, no, no, no. I can't agree to this " he shook his head negatively, as he stood to his feet. " " Why ? "" Because it isn't the right thing to do. I can't let an innocent man go in for what he knows nothing about " he responded" But he isn't that innocent after-all, right ? He is a well-known assassin that has killed hundreds of people home and abroad. What makes any difference in this ? " Mr Warren said" Well, he's innocent in this particular case " He said and turned to the PC who had been silent since he got in. " Are you even agreeing to this or it's your idea ?"" Have a seat, Bryan, let discuss as men. There's absolutely no need for panic." The PC took a deep breath and replied. Bryan obeyed gently, having a seat . " I'm listening" Bryan said." The issue at hand now isn't an easy one for the police to solve. We here know that the dark shadows are the ones responsible for the death of that guy, but how do you intend we get them ? and in the space of two weeks ? does that ev
At night, the initiates gathered in a black van, with Dickson, Carlo and Mr Suraj, leading the team. On the computer screen in front of them was the current location of Simon from the Ratel gang, who was going to get the drugs. The location showed Northern Cape. With this, they drove and arrived at Northern Cape moments later, parking the van at a safe distance under a tree. “This is the location,” the driver said as Mr. Suraj looked at the computer to confirm. The place was far from town and uphill. Outside, a lot of gang members were holding guns and keeping watch around an abandoned building.“This is where the magic happens. I believe that’s a trap house,” Suraj said.“What’s a trap house?” one of the inexperienced initiates in the van asked.“It’s a house where drug dealers keep their drugs. It’s mostly situated on the outskirts of town, where the government wouldn’t know,” he replied.“There are many securities here. How do we get in and plant the explosives?”“That’s why we’re
By noon the following day, Carlo and Dickson drove out of town to a place called Camelot. Camelot was the ghetto part of the city, where the youth were involved in many crimes like drugs, kidnapping, assassination, and money laundering. The crime rate was high, as it was the primary means of survival for the youth. Dickson and Carlo had come here to gather intel about the Dark Shadows.They arrived in Camelot, parked under a tree, and proceeded into a bar. Inside, the bar was dark with all the curtains down. Naked strippers moved about, and different gangs occupied various spots. Dickson and Carlo headed towards a table occupied by a gang known as the Ratels. They had previously learned that the Ratels were the biggest drug dealers in Camelot and might have connections with the Dark Shadows.The Ratels were in conversation when Dickson interrupted.“Greetings,” Dickson said, while Carlo stood beside him.“How can we help you?” one of the men asked.“I’m here for a drug deal,” Dickson
At about 8pm, a private plane having the international initiates landed at Ashvilles airport. It was a full squad of trained men from the security services.They alighted the plane in numbers and proceeded to the white coaster bus that was provided to convey them to their destination.Minutes after, they arrived the Austelin Mansion and all assembled in the garden outside, where Dickson Carlo and Bryan were waiting for them." How was your trip ? " Bryan started" It was fine sir." Their leader responded." Good. Now that you all are here ? Our work begins. I need you guys to share your thoughts on how we can defeat the dark shadows. The main challenge is to know who the number 1 man in the dark shadows is." Bryan said." That is not much of a problem sir. We can simply figure that out if we strategize properly." One of the men, dressed in sm army camouflage said." Do you have anything in mind ? " Bryan eyed the man who had spoken, sizing him up. The international recruits seemed sha
Two days have passed, and the 50 people who volunteered to be part of the White Shadows have returned to the Austelins Mansion for their training as promised. A date has been set for next week for the initiation of other volunteers who were living in other parts of the country.Bryan had reprinted the White Shadows logo and purchased licensed firearms for every member. The main course today was to teach them how to use them. The initiates all stood holding their guns while Carlo and Dickson stood in front of them. The first step was to teach them how to use a gun."The weapon you are holding is an AK-47 rifle," Dickson started. "The AK-47 was designed by **Mikhail Kalashnikov**, a Soviet engineer and tank commander. He developed the weapon in the late 1940s as part of a Soviet military initiative to create a reliable, durable, and easy-to-manufacture assault rifle. Kalashnikov's design became the standard issue for the Soviet armed forces in 1949 and later spread globally, making him
"Sir, the initiatives to bring back the White Shadows started due to the unbearable operations by the Dark Shadows," Bryan began. "The Dark Shadows have fought me in so many ways, and I believe it’s not just me, but everyone who isn’t involved with them is feeling the heat. This is why I have agreed to set up a team that would fight against them," Bryan explained to the Minister of Defense, who nodded in agreement."So, what are your big plans with this White Shadows NGO you want to set up? And what do you think you’ll do differently to curb the situation with the Dark Shadows that the police aren’t already doing?" the minister questioned, his brows narrowing as he looked at Bryan."Good question, sir. I have observed the activities of the Dark Shadows and discovered they are certainly skilled in many areas. To defeat them, my NGO will undergo training from top security agencies around the world, and all the expenses will be on me," Bryan replied."And you’re willing to bear the cost
Bryan stood outside, still not satisfied with the information Mr. Benjamin had given him. He had hoped for more but decided to work with what he had. It was time to start somewhere. Since the White Shadows fraternity had been his dad's effort to fight the Dark Shadows, he would bring the fraternity back to life. All he needed to do was gather people who would join the cult and help in the fight.An idea came to him immediately. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Dickson's number. "Hello, Dickson. You and Carlo should meet at my house. We have something really important to discuss," he said. "Okay, boss. We’ll be there," Dickson replied, and Bryan ended the call.He got into his car and started the engine. As he began driving, he fell into deep thought about how he could make the White Shadows fraternity strong enough to stand against the Dark Shadows. The key idea that came to his mind was training. Mr. Benjamin had told him that the Dark Shadows underwent a
"Wait, what do you mean my father founded the White Shadows?" Bryan asked, confused. First, it was him discovering Mr. Warren was the leader of the Dark Shadows, and now this? "Does that mean my dad is no different from these evil men?" he said, disappointment written all over his face."Don't you compare your dad and Mr. Warren, Bryan. That's a big disrespect," the man cut in angrily."What do you mean?" Bryan asked.The man didn’t reply just yet. He called one of his children, who brought out a seat for Bryan to sit down, before continuing.**FLASHBACK (NARRATION)**"The White Shadows is an offshoot of the Dark Shadows. Decades ago, there was great insecurity in the world. Kidnapping, drugs, assassinations, rape, and various social vices were ravaging this city. The government did everything they could to stop it, but they couldn’t. At worst, any government in power that pushed the limits to fight the unknown terrorists causing the havoc eventually got killed. This made many scared.
AUSTELIN'S MANSION**Bryan had been living in deep thought since he returned from the prison after seeing Mr. Warren. He had just one thing bothering him, and it was unraveling his dad's death. From what Warren had told him, it wasn't the end of the dark shadows yet, and his dad was into some cult that gave him such wealth and influence. If what Mr. Warren said was true, the first step to take was to decipher the name of the cult his dad was involved with. After a thorough search in his heart, he couldn't think of what cult his father was in, so he decided to go through a thorough search in his dad's mansion.Edward moved back and forth in his dad's room, searching for any information. He saw pictures of his dad from a tender age until his old age. He also saw pictures of a woman always next to his dad, but he couldn't recognize her face; it was obscure. After searching for hours and finding nothing, he moved to his dad's library. There were thousands of books, and Bryan hadn't bother
At 8 p.m. that day, Wuyan received a call from Mrs. Pheona, who agreed to tell her everything she needed to know about her stepbrother. This news excited Wuyan, and although Mrs. Pheona suggested they meet at a location, Wuyan insisted they meet at her house. Wuyan felt a wave of relief as she ended the call, knowing that her search for her stepbrother was finally coming to an end.Mrs. Pheona then called Jack to inform him of the change in plans. Jack was furious about the idea of going to Wuyan's house, as it wasn’t part of the original deal, but he eventually gave in after Mrs. Pheona managed to convince him.At 9 p.m., Mrs. Pheona arrived at Wuyan's house in her Jeep, with Jack and two armed men sitting in the back. As the gate opened and she drove in, the men hid their guns under their clothes. Two of them remained in the car while Mrs. Pheona and Jack stepped out and walked to the door.*Knock, knock!* Mrs. Pheona tapped twice on the door, and Wuyan opened it. "Hello, Wuyan,"
