The female officer dragged Nathan across the grey-tiled floor. Another officer led Donovan along. They took a winding corridor that appeared darker as they went along. "You could at least tell me your name, if you're going to lock me up in a cold, and empty place, with nothing to warm me up or keep me company" Nathan said to the officer. She shoved him. "You have your partner in crime to keep you company" "Oh Donovan is boring" "I heard that" Donovan said. The lady officer smiled. "That's his name? And what's yours?""Interesting. You didn't tell me your name and now you want me to tell you mine? That's quite entitled of you" "Nevermind then" She said. They'd gotten to a small clean cell with white bars as gates and a wooden bench that looked rough and didn't offer any kind of comfort whatsoever. She removed a key from her belt-hook and opened the gate. Then shoved him and Donovan inside. "Good lord." Nathan surveyed the room, it's blandness. The room gave off a hostile vi
“Can we be overheard from inside here?” Asked Nathan as he hastily sat on one of the metal chairs. He sat closest to the lawyer, at least that’s what he seemed to be. He hadn’t introduced himself yet.“I suppose you’re the lawyer?” Donavan asked.The man shook his head in response to Nathan and nodded in response to Donavan.He was composed. He cleared his throat, spreading his shoulders and swiveling his but on the chair as if to get serious.“Now what exactly happened?” The lawyer asked in a low, baritone voice. He looked slightly more toward Nathan as he spoke.Nathan took a rotary glance at the room. It was now he realized how transparent the room was. Seeing some officers stand outside, watching them through the glass made him unsure of whether they couldn’t hear them.“Are you sure they can’t hear a thing?” Nathan leaned towards the lawyer.“They shouldn’t be able to, but still, speak cautiously.”Nathan took another look through the glass, at all the officers outside. His eyes c
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. The trial.” Nathan hurried to the widow. He surveyed the weather in a way to try and find out the time.“Don
“I learnt the court case was canceled. Should I still proceed with my mission as planned?” The man said over his black mask.“Yes. Just as planned. Dusk. And do well to pay the guard a visit. Let him know his life and that of his family is on the line if he doesn’t comply tomorrow.” Khosrow replied.“It’s done.” “ “ “ “ “A cold breeze swept across Wales street. 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
They drove a couple minutes in silence as they all, except Donovan, were apparently thinking about the call from Cayden.It seemed to seat right with everyone except Nathan.“Wait wait wait…hold up,” Nathan hurled. Anger and rage stirred up inside of him. He gnashed his teeth, slamming the seat rest in from of him.“Hey would you stop hitting the seat? I’m driving,”Drew exclaimed. 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. Like fucking now.” He enunciated articulatelyNathan aroused from his chair and leaned over Drew, towards the steering wheel.“Hey hey hey,” Nic said, attempting to pull Nathan back but
Fleets of police Vehicles, cars and motorcycles, filled the area with each of them buzzing with sirens, and beeping the usual red and blue lights. Tripod stands with cameras where erected at almost every nook and cranny, and repoters as well as journalists were before them.An abmbulance was parked amid the cars with its back door open. 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. She was sorrounded by some journalists who was taking down what she was saying with their stationery.“Hello, hello ma’am,” Nathan said, paving his way through the journalists to the re
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
" 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
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
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. "What did you find out?" he asked, eyeing Remik closely."There's going to be a peace summit between the gangs," Remik replied breathlessly. "I think this could be our chance to end all of this."Mr khosrow raised an eyebrow at Remik's words, considering them carefully
As Nathan and Rose's relationship continued to blossom, their love only grew stronger. They spent most of their time together, going on dates, taking walks in the park, and talking about their hopes and dreams. 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. He was drenched in exhaustion after their experience at the club last night and pulled himself to reach through the phone."Hello, my love"?? He said, in a dull low tune." 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." Yeah, it's all clear from your voice. Well, it's Saturday today and I'd want us to hang out in Cosy Cafe just close to town. I want to see you today" She said. Nathan cleared his throat " Ohh ok, that will be nice. I have some stuff to do with Nicholas today, so when I'm
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
