Days passed with Nathan and Donovan still locked up in the cell awaiting the court trial. Everything was mapped out and was to tilt in their favour until news got to Nathan that they had lost the clip.

The clip which was intended to be their big card. Nathan didn’t care much for the details. All he knew was that somehow, Mr Khosrow got information that they had such evidence and sent deadly malware to all the electronic devices in Mr Swack’s house.

In the form of mails, sneaky links and all deceptive means. It destroyed the memory of all the devices affected.

Although he always knew, it was now lucid as crystals that things could only get worse.

Sadly, Mr Khosrow’s move wasn’t one Mr Swack could have possibly predicted so he didn’t have their evidence backed up in some external storage device. Or better still, in a device in his study room where all the devices were absolutely resistant to any kind of malware.

Nathan and Mr. Swack's evidence they had against Mr. Khosrow was vain ex

    A new dawn befell Nathan when the sun had completed its rotary cycle. The rays from the sun forced its way through his eyes forcing him to open them.His eyelids felt too heavy. Like he had been sleeping for years.First he saw, only a bright white light. Slowly it faded into red, then blue and then his normal vision.He rubbed his eyes with his palm in way to completely pull himself out of the grip of his sleep.His eyes caught two transparent nylon packes thrusted beneath the burglary.Pizza?On a closer look, Nathan realized it was just some pair of orange shirts and black trousers.Shirts? Trousers? For what? Nathan thought.In a few seconds, his brain restores its cache memory.Shit!The trial.“Donovan!” Nathan said, vociferously. “Donovan!!”Nathan threw the smaller pair at Donovan’s. “Sleepy head.”“What is it Nathan?” Donovan muttered, apparently irked.“It’s today man.

Most of the pedestrians were putting on sweatshirts and coats. The weather had completely morphed to the stormy, windy cold, which was quite the opposite some hours ago.A short black man in pants clutched his coat to his skin and walked into the Wales bar. He was wearing a navy blue coat.He sat at to the rear end of the bar spot.“What will you be having Sir?” The bar lady asked, politely. “You don't seem to have a very good day.” She said, noticing the permanent glower on his face.“I’ll have any strong liquor.” He replied indifferently. His face was clothed with gloom.“I’m not really a fan of alcohol,” She said. “But.. I

    *******Nathan stood alongside Donovan with mixed feelings as they awaited their lawyer. They had been granted freedom. They were only waiting for their lawyer to guide them through the papers they had to sign and all other formalities.They were on their orange shirts and black trousers. The ones they were supposed to wear to the court case.They sat on a wooden chair, draped with aesthetic carving designs on its arms. They were in what seemed to be the checkout area.It was the same place where Nathan encountered the pretty female police when he first visited. Thank goodness he was finally free.. Officers walked from one end to the other, in and out of the station. Most of them wore angry faces. They were most probably coming to have their guns refilled or to file a case or maybe, report a situation.“I guess you’re happy now,” Donovan said, breaking the long lasting silence between himself and Nathan, and relatively, in the room.“What, am I supposed to be sad?” Nathan snapped bac

He turned to get a quick look at Nathan, wearing a disgusted obscure look.“Pull the car over.” Nathan said sternly. His voice was tinged with ire and his eyes poked out with red cracks around them.“What do you mean I should pull the car over?” Drew asked, with a addled look. “It seems you took some of Mr Khosrow’s drug.” “Really, right now?” Nic said, nonchalantly.“I’m not going to say it again. Pull the fuck over, now.

Surrounding it was a crew of medical staffs in their whaite overall and another reporter interviewing them. Nathan and Letha managed to struggle their way through the crowd to the front of the building. Letha clinged tightly to him, intertwining their arms as they walked.It can’t be. It just can’t. Nathan’s heart raced as he drew closer to the house.He spotted a seemingly friendly reporter. That’s what he thought since she wasn’t wearing a mean look like the others.

    He sat in the best position his mind told him, beside Letha, at the extreme of the chair. Her sobbing had reduced but her eyes were still widened in shock. It was hard for her to believe, it was hard for everyone.Nathan flashed back to when Velma saved him form an ambush from Cayden. He remembered how promptly she arrived after he phoned her. She picked him up almost lifeless. If it weren’t for her, he’d have died that day. He would never forget the night the both of them watched the stars ocean, under its breeze. She was everything.The room had started to lose numbers. Most of Cayden’s friends had begun leaving. At the time, Cayden wasn’t present in the room. He had gone to see off some of his friends.“I need to talk to them,” Nathan whispered in Letha’s ears.

    As Cayden’s friends reduced in number, so did the officials and practitioners. The reporters, journalists, police and medical staff. Only a few were left.Some minutes earlier, the ambulance left with Velma’s corpse. The forensics promised to get back with useful results of their analysis but their faces told the opposite. It was obvious all the evidence they had obtained was vague.However, a black male from the forensic team hinted Cayden, Nathan, Drew and Nicholas, the ineluctable result of their analysis.It seemed to be that the suspect was clean and detailed. All the evidence he left only led to dead ends. The suspect wiped off all possibly useful evidence.The only thing left was for an autopsy to be conducted. This was only because it is ideal under the law. It was very obvious, as told by the black male forensic scientist, that she died after sustaining a few blows at strategic points. The part where her hair was removed was the only ineffable part of the story.“We have

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.

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'

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.

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.
