“I totally understand, but he also has to understand that this isn’t some heavenly race. If we don’t act smart, we’d all be six feet beneath the ground before we know it.” Nathan said.

“I understand that this whole thing is really pissing you off. But we have to calm down and be diplomatic about it.” Cayden said. “Take for instance we eventually take that route, he can play us right into the hands of the police if we’re not careful.”

“He can’t do that, not when he is into contrabands and other dirty business.” Nathan said.

“But you guys wanted to send him to jail also. Cayden said. “Isn’t Rose’s dad also into this kind of business?”

“Yeah.. he is. But we cleaned up all traces before going to the police.” Nathan said.

“And what if he does the same? Of course he’ll know it is us who kidnapped his children or wife. He’ll simply clean up also, then go to police and file a complaint against us for kidnapping and also selling contrabands.” Cayden explained. “And when the police come looking

    “Nicholas, Cayden,” Nathan said, calling their attention.Still engrossed in their conversation, they didn’t hear him.Nathan looked around for any signs of Rose in the cafeteria then sat down.“Listen guys,” Nathan said, hitting the table to distract them.“Yo! What is it?” Nicholas asked.“I am going to Letha’s house,” Nathan said.“Okay…. safe journey.” Nicholas said shaking his head. “That’s not it, I…” Nathan was saying when Nicholas interjected.“Whatever it is, just don’t take the car.” Nicholas said.“That’s not the issue, I am not taking the car. Have you seen Rose today?” Nathan asked.“Yeah, she went out of the cafeteria some minutes before you came.” Nicholas explained.“Alright. I need you guys to cover up for me when she asks my whereabouts.” Nathan said.“Look, I’m not interested in couples’ issues.” Nicholas said, concisely.Well, he didn’t expect it to be easy to convince Nicholas to do something of such.“You guys have to help me out.

    He hadn’t gone much steps away from her house when his guilt revisited him, only harder this time.Nathan hailed a cab and got in, taking a seat in the back. As the cab drove him home, he couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt that had been gnawing at him since his encounter with Letha. He couldn't believe that he had let his guard down and allowed himself to make out with her, despite knowing that it was a bad idea.A voice inside of him tried to quell his guilt by telling him that he didn’t go too far but it didn’t work.The guilt that he felt was overwhelming, and he couldn't help but feel angry at himself for his lack of control. He had been so careful to avoid anything that could compromise his position in his relationship with Letha and Rose, but one moment of weakness had undone all of that. How could he have been so foolish? He didn’t know if foolish was the right word or vulnerable.As the cab sped along, Nathan's thoughts raced. He wondered what would happen if Rose found

    They sat in silence, apparently taking all Nicholas had said in, waiting for anyone to contribute or oppose.“It’s a good plan,” Nathan said. “Only that I just hope that this big plan we are coming up with will be able to end this dude once and for all.”“Once we’re able to set the whole plan rolling I’m sure the one for the grand finale would come only naturally.” Nicholas said. He seemed very excited and pumped up, unusually.Nathan was adding up all the pieces of the idea together, trying to figure where they should start from and how to go about it.And , when issues like this arose, they had only one man to run to for anything they needed to set their plan rolling.“We are going to be needing Mr. Swack’s assistance on this one,”Nathan said.“Definitely, his spies,” Nicholas added.“He has got spies?” Cayden asked.“He can get his hands on almost anything or anyone. That’s power.” Nicholas said.“We’ll need his spies to get us some real privy information on Mr. Khosrow’s family.

    Nathan marched out of the library, his heart pounding against his chest. He was beyond angry, and he couldn't wait to confront Letha.As he walked out, he bumped into Nicholas and Cayden walking in. Apparently, they were looking for him but he just walked past them, almost hitting them, without even acknowledging their presence.“Did he not see us?” Cayden asked, after making way for angry Nathan to walk by. He stormed into the cafeteria and scanned the room for Letha. It didn't take him long to spot her sitting in the middle of a group of friends. He marched towards her and asked her to step outside so they could talk. “We need to talk, now!” Nathan said.“Hey what’s up?” Letha asked. “ Why not have a seat?”“We need to talk outside.” Nathan said, making himself sternly clear.She stood up, and he grabbed her arm tightly, pulling her towards the door.“Nathan, you’re hurting my arm,” Letha complained as they walked, trying to break free from his grip.“That should be the least of y

    Cayden clutched his hand and pulled himself upward. “Finally,” He said, with an extended smile.“So how is it going to be? Are we calling Nicholas?” Cayden asked.Nathan you thought for a while, searching his pockets to see if he was with the keys.“I would have suggested we should leave him to drive home and board a cab but I’m with the keys,” Nathan said, holding out the keys.“So we call him,” Cayden said.“Yeah, we have to,” Nathan said.“Should I call him or you will?” Cayden asked.“Let me call him myself,” Nathan said.He reached for his phone in his pocket and scrolled through his contact list, dialing Nicholas.The phone rang for a while before Nicholas picked up.“What’s up?” Nicholas asked, withought any obstruction, like he had been waiting all day for the call to come in.“We’re about leaving, we're about leaving. Where are you?” Nathan asked.“I’m at Galewoods college,” Nicholas said, sarcastically. “Well I’m not ready to leave now, I’ve got something doing.” Nicholas sa

    The door clicked as it locked and Nicholas walked over to them at the dining“Hey Nicholas,” Nathan said, extending his arm for a handshake. “What’s good?”“I’m good,” Nicholas said. He received the hand shake and took seat beside Nathan.“Cayden,” Nicholas called out.“Yeah man, what took you so long?” Cayden said.“I was with Rose ,” Nicholas said, abruptly.It had crossed Nathan’s mind that he might be with her.“With who? Doing what?” Cayden asked.“Wait.. you guys didn’t expect me to leave her in that state, after hearing all she heard, to be by herself and go home by herself?” Nicholas asked.“Well…..” Cayden said, swinging his hand in the air, agreeing that Nicholas had a point.“Exactly,” Nicholas said. “Everyone left and she was really hurt. I had to talk to her a while, help her stabilize. And then I drove her home before coming home since she didn’t come with any driver.”“That was thoughtful,” Nathan said, trying as much as possible not to create a topic of discussion conc

Well, they hadn’t been to up to ten percent of the mansion.The door behind Mr. Swack creaked, then opened, and Rose emerged.Mr. Swack turned to look at who it was. “I need to attend to something, I’ll call you back in a bit.” Mr. Swack said to the person he was on the line with.Rose was on a yellow A-lined, quite simply designed gown. She was wearing a very dark large shade that covered her eyes and she let her hair loose.She walked over to her dad and bent slightly beside him, giving him a kiss on the cheek.She whispered in his ear for a while before he pat her on the shoulder and she left.”Be safe and let Donovan g

He tried it again and she didn’t pick.He tried it again the third time and after what seemed to be forever she picked, her voice rather calm as she spoke.“Nathan,” She said.“Kaylee..” Nathan said, rather unsure of what to say. “I didn’t pick up your initial calls because I wanted to get settled. I hate picking up calls when standing, or doing something. So I went to lay on my bed.”“Alright, so you’re on on your bed as we speak. I guess you intend to talk for a long while.” Nathan said.“Yeah, are you still busy?” Kaylee asked. “I mean, you can call me whenever you’re less busy.”“No.. not like that.

    The End

    Nathan had been living in fear for months, after the last face off. Ever since he had become involved with Mr. Swack and Khosrow's illegal organization he had been having a rethink about things. He needed to bring things to an end and make sure no one was going to be hurt again. Two friends had died. No one else was going down that line. He took a glass of juice from his fridge and downed it. Cayden bounced down the stairs dressed in an all black. He looked ready. "How are you holding up?" Nathan asked. "Ready when you are. We have someone to stop" Cayden replied. Nathan nodded. "Are you calling Rose over?" Cayden took his own juice from the fridge."No, I'd very much prefer that I see after this game of violence is over. Where is Nicholas?" "Right here" Nicholas came down, in ash-brown clothes. "Let's go" They all left the house heading for the cars. Nathan had seen firsthand what Khosrow was capable of, and he knew that he had to stop him before it was too late.For w

"I could tell things were getting tense and I thought changing the subject might help."Cayden nodded appreciatively. He knew he couldn't let his past issues with Veronica get in the way of his friendship with Nicholas and Nathan.But as they walked back to the mansion, Cayden couldn't shake off the feeling that something else was brewing beneath the surface. He had heard rumours about Mr Khosrow's recent attacks on Mr Swack's crew, and he knew it was only a matter of time before things came to a head.The next day, as the sun streamed into his room from his window along side the calm breeze from within, Cayden received a call from an unknown number."Hello?" he answered cautiously."Cayden, it's me, Remik," the voice on the other end said quickly.

    He voiced his concerns to Mr Khosrow who listened intently before reassuring him that everything would be fine. But deep down inside, Remik knew that nothing was ever certain in this line of work.As they prepared for battle once again, Remik steeled himself for what lay ahead. He thought back to those dark days when he was lying in a hospital bed wondering if he would ever walk again.And yet here he was now - ready to take on Swack's empire one more time. It wasn't just about revenge anymore; it was about justice for all those who had suffered at Swack's hands.With renewed determination coursing through his veins, Remik stood up from the table and looked around at his comrades-in-arms. "Let's do this," he said firmly. And with those words ringing in their ears, they set out once again to face the challenges that lay ahead - together as one united force against what they deemed tyranny and oppression.A few days later, Cayden and Olivia were out on a date at a busy restaurant in th

    As they stepped out of the hideout, Mr Khosrow's face was clouded with guilt, and Remik couldn't help but feel suspicious. He knew that Mr Khosrow had done some terrible things in the past to get back at Swack - he just didn't know the extent of it."So, what's our next move?" Remik asked, trying to steer the conversation away from Mr Khosrow's past."We hit them where it hurts," Mr Khosrow said, his voice laced with anger. "Their drug factories."Remik nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of satisfaction that they were finally making progress against Swack and his empire.But as they made their way towards the factories, they came across Nathan and Rose. Nathan had a dark scowl on his face, and Rose looked worried."What's going on?" Remik asked, immediately sensing something was wrong."Nathan told us what you're planning," Rose said, her tone desperate. "You can't do this. It'll start a war."Nathan stepped forward menacingly. "You might think you're doing the right thing, but you'

    Remik and Mr khosrow walked through the city late at night, deep in conversation about their next move. Suddenly, they heard people shouting in the distance. They quickened their pace and found people looting shops.Remik's heart sank as he witnessed the anarchy in front of him. He thought to himself that how much more they have to face to make their city a peaceful place.Mr khosrow saw the desolate expression on his face and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "We'll get there, Remik. We just have to keep fighting." Remik nodded solemnly, feeling a renewed sense of determination.As they continued walking, they noticed a group of young boys huddled together in the corner of an alleyway. One of them had a torn shirt and a black eye. Mr khosrow approached them slowly, his hands raised in a peaceful gesture."What happened here?" he asked them gently.The boys looked up at him with fear in their eyes" We were attacked by some bullies who have been threatening us to give up terr

    Remik's heart skipped a beat as he listened in on the conversation. Could this be the answer they had been looking for? A chance to put an end to all the bloodshed and violence?He tried to keep his expression neutral as he continued past the two men, but inside he was buzzing with excitement. He couldn't wait to go back and tell Mr khosrow what he had heard.As he made his way back to their hideout, Remik couldn't help but notice how different the atmosphere in the city felt today. People seemed to be going about their business with a newfound sense of peace and calm as if they were all holding their breath in anticipation of what was to come.When he arrived back at the hideout, Mr khosrow was already waiting for him.

Nathan was always there for Rose, He supported them in every way he can, and they enjoyed moments and shared a lot of time.The next morning, Nathan received a call from Rose.

Hey sweet, ops did I wake you up??" Rose replied." Yeah ... But it's all good. Is it that obvious I'm just getting up?" Nathan giggled. He felt quite embarrassed."

    Cayden was heartbroken as he walked out of the coffee shop. He knew deep down that he still loved Veronica, but he also understood that she had moved on. He frowned, as he walked down to the bus stop to board a bus. His placed his hands in his red jacket and headed back home. On arrival, he walked in to meet Nathan and Nicholas seated on the couch and seeing a movie. The banging sound as he closed the door got their attention. Nicholas and Nathan gazed at the entrance to see who came in." Hey man, Are you Okay?" Nicholas said as he noticed the gloomy countenance.Cayden sat at one of the single couches in the sitting room, his hand on his face and placed his legs on the seat's hand rest." Looks like you had a bad day man," Nicholas said. They gazed at Cayden waiting for a reply." Yeah yeah I had a very bad day... I've lost her guys. It's high time I realize that and move on. I can't keep toiling with my feelings like this" Cayden replied." She didn't accept after all this time o
