at the table, allowing them to enjoy the rest of their meal in peace.After dinner, Cayden pulled Nicholas aside and thanked him for diffusing the situation with Veronica."No problem," Nicholas said with a shrug. "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. "Listen, I need to talk to
" You too... Please take care and be careful we'lll be in touch." Nathan said. They kissed and she headed to her vehicle and zoomed off. Amelia waved them Goodbye as she headed to her vehicle too and they got in and headed home. " We finally took Khosrow down... They are all behind bars now" Nathan said, gazing at cayden through the side mirrors. Cayden was shocked as he heard those words " really??? Wow. How??" He asked." It was all Nicholas idea, he made rose lure Remik to spill the beans" Nathan grinned." Really and he spoke??? Wow.... The power of women, Inevitable!" Cayden grinned. They all began to laugh."we need to get someone to detect and disable the bombs" Nicholas said."Yeah that's true, I'll call on my technician to come help us with that" Nathan said, grabbing his phone.As they got home, The technician came and deactivated all the planted bombs all around their mansions and they got in safely and headed to their rooms to rest after the long dayThe next day, N
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
Chapter One******Nathan wasn't sure he was given the accurate location as he entered the walkway dressed in an oxford-pinstripe shirt and blue jeans.He reached the tall metal gate where two guards dressed in black suits watched him in the glass-office checkpoint. One of them, a brown haired, stoutly built man came out from the office with a metal detector pointed towards Nathan. "Stop there!!" He bellowed. Nathan stopped, wondering why he had to be so loud. "I'm here to see the owner of this place" He brought out the piece of paper with an address on it, in his pocket and held it out for him. But the man ignored it, instead he screened the paper with the Garrett device, scrutiny on his face. "What's your name?" Nathan could easily outmaneuver him, and his colleague--who was chewing gum absentmindedly in the office, and staring out through the glass window-- if he wished. What did they think? That he could be an armed robber? a potential threat? Maybe he was. "Nathan. My name
The man had pointed his gun up and pulled the trigger, sending both warning signals and alerting god-knew-who, then he brought it back to Nathan. "You have two minutes before all the security inside is on you. Leave n--"Nathan elbowed his hand, without letting him finish. He was fed up with the annoying guards. At the same time he deflected a blow from him and channeled a punch in his face, sending him staggering backwards. The other tall black man dashed towards him, gritting his teeth and cursing. Maybe he'd would handle him the same way he handled Arthur, but a jab to his ribcage made him think twice. The man came for him again, blow upon blow that Nathan deflected with swift darts of his hands, counter punches and blocks. Then Nathan made a double-hop on a large sill closest to him and spun, kicking the man head first into the large stone pillar and then the floor. Then there were loud noises from inside, hurried footsteps, a lot of them. Nathan sighed. He didn't sign up
***********Chapter ThreeNathan gave his books a once-over, before zipping his black back-pack. Devin, his pale-faced and skinny roomie had already left for school, leaving him work to do. Remembering him made Nathan think he had two people to protect, instead of one. But here he was, still fidgeting with what to take, and if he was dressed alright. Not that he wasn't confident or hadn't had friends or anything, but one couldn't help feeling first-jitters when in social settings like this, where so much people would be gathered at the same place.He'd always been educated privately, no school setting like this. Master had employed private tutors to teach him, and now it seemed more like he was going to teach himself. Because he had just one duty, and it wasn't to learn, it was to guard the daughter of Mr. Swack. He looked at himself in the mirror, his pale blue eyes, the small silver ring on his nose. His immaculate white hair was parted to fall on both sides of his face in cur
"I doubt your Dad would smile to that." He said. "Well, this is College and my dad ain't here." She pursed her lips. "Just avoid me, that's all. If you must guard me, then do it from a mile away . And don't ever let anyone find out the real reason you're here."Wow. He felt more like a servant, than he was a bodyguard. A rejected servant. "Yes Rose" He said coldly. She eyed him. "It's Rosetta ""Pls, enlighten me on the difference?" He gestured with an open palm. She shook her head and walked away. She wasn't the least bit boring, but she was going to be a pain in his ass alright. He went through the books on the shelf, examining the thick covers in search of one to distract himself with. If she was still in the library, he had no place else to go. .............Back at the auditorium, Nathan climbed the steep stairs, his eyes roving for an empty chair. The hall was almost filled, and the History lecturer was in class. He'd waited for Rose to get back to class, before followin
Shit. "Is it... that obvious?" He asked, feeling sheepish and maybe somewhat stupid. Drew bent over with laughter. He was going to draw stares at this rate. "Are you kidding me? Clear as daylight man. I mean, you asked for her earlier today, now you're standing close to a locker, stalking and drooling---""I am not drooling and I am not....Oh God. " Nathan said, frowning. "What do you know? I think you should leave alright" "Yeah, fine. Just approach her Nath, she's pretty and all, I know. But don't be shy" "Screw you, Drew"Drew chuckled and patted him before leaving. Nathan had had a couple unfortunate, terrifying, and heart skipping moments in his life. But he would never have believed, looking back to where Rose was---she'd turned to him, a big glower on her face, and her friends staring as well--- his heart would skip. Shit. She approached him then, carrying a large brown backpack."What part of the phrase 'Stay away' are you alien to, Nathan?""It clearly looks like
