The ProtectoR A hard shell to crack
Cayden walked round the cold marble tiled living room without his shirts, holding a glass of coffee in his hand. He was still in the duplex provided him by Mr. Khosrow. He had just completed a hectic session of training, and had to pull of his clothes. Apparently, the whole master talk was already getting to his head. He walked around the apartment like a king.But as much he loved the whole luxury, it wasn't his till he accomplished his end of the bargain. So he had a big mission ahead of him.Velma walked in accompanied by another maiden. The maiden she met earlier handed her over to this one. Unlike the first maiden, this one was highly unfriendly, at least that’s what Velma witnessed as the olive-skinned mean looking lady didn’t return her pleasantries. Without even glancing twice at Velma, she went, “I suppose you’re here for Master Cayden, follow me.”They went pass the lobbyway that felt chill, like a natural cooling system had been fitted into the walls, then into the living r
The ProtectoR The Party
***“Didn’t you say you wanted something that’d stand out?” Devin asked Nathan, watching him walk past all clothes he thought were perfect for his outing.Earlier yesterday, Nathan and Devin had pre planned to go get a nice outfit for Nathan to wear at Drew’s party. There were a lot of fashion houses around their hostel but Devin suggested they patronize oneat Hanover Street. It was just some kilometers away.It seemed like Devin was brand influencing the boutique considering how he insisted on them getting the clothes from there.“They are the best around. You're not going to regret it.” He said a couple times on their way.Nathan put on black Tshirt and a wine colored pants. He caught a few images of himself on a mirror beforeleaving. . What Nathan had in mind when he said he wanted an outstanding outfit was a different shade entirely. He wantedsomething different, something unlike him. He had been trying to convince himself that he wasn’t trying hard to impress Rose or even

"Look who showed up,” Drew said, looking at Rose.“I told you I’d be present,” said Rose clinging tightly to Nathan.“Hey girls,” Nathan said referring to both Letha and Velma.“Hi, Nathan.” They replied simultaneously.“What a creative outfit you’ve got on Nathan. I never knew you to be the thoughtful type.” Letha said jokingly, approaching Nathan slowly. “Can I get a hug?” she asked.“Sure,” Nathan said, letting go of Rose. He let his arms open to Letha. She threw herself on him . She fitted tightly between his arms and remained there for a few seconds before letting him go. She stood very close to him, close enough to feel his breath. She held both of his hands, looked up to his face and smiled.“I guess you’re right. I didn’t style myself, Rose did.” Nathan said, turning to Rose. A little grimace formed on Letha’s face. She didn’t react, rather she retreated from Nathan.“Hey, miss Velma,” Nathan said, waving in Velma’s line sight. “Won’t you give me a hug?” He said letting his
The ProtectoR A heartbreaking reveal.
Last night, Nathan arrived at his hostel, tired and frustrated. He tiptoed in as Devin was fast asleep and he didn’t want to disrupt his sleep. Nathan’s mind was hazy so he opted for a good long sleep after he had showered.He woke up to a very sunny day with the aftermaths of a sever headache. Unfortunately, he had to live the day with the headache. He could hear loud bangs in his head. These bangs persisted even untill the afternoon. There was no way in hell he could focus in any class so he stayed away from class. He secluded himself in the school’s library, where it was relatively quiet. And he couldn't feel much pain.Luckily he had escaped everyone, and didn't tell them were he was. And he hoped they wouldn't find him soon enough. But Rose came into the library then, looking as stunning as ever in a red body-con dress and her hair tied into a ponytail. It seemed she had taken extra care on how she looked today. He felt a compulsive desire to explain to her what had happene
The ProtectoR Where Is she?
A cool breeze swept across the school’s field. Nathan stood at the center of the field observing nature. It wasn't of much help but somehow, it took his attention away from his problems. Away from everything.Rose is just a phase. He could get over it.What Mr. Swack had told him was a scar. He didn't think he'd ever get over it.Was he more than just the sum of every high and every low?A soft hand from behind touched his shoulders and he turned. It was Letha. She had spotted him coming to the field. She was the primary source of his problem, but now he had even more complex problems.Letha looked to the ground, guilt and sadness was written all over her.“I can go if you want me to,” Letha said in a thin voice. “But I'd still come back. A hundred times over.”Nathan didn't say a word, rather he turned away.“I'm sorry,” Letha said. “I guess I could have acted better. I let my heart lead instead of my head. Maybe I can't control my emotions, but... I love you.”Nathan stood still
The ProtectoR The investigation.
It was the second time Nathan was summoned to the deans office. First time was when he had a fight with Cayden during the basketball ball game.Unlike his first where it was just him and the dean in the office,today, he was summoned together with Velma and surprisingly, Rose's friend he had seen before, the curly haired chestnut skin who was the prettiest in the group. What was she doing here? Was she a witness? Or some form of plaintiff?There was, sitting beside the dean, a police officer. He looked low ranked, a bit taddy and pissed off with his situation, thereby looking for someone to take it out on.Velma was quite composed.It seemed like she was used to the deans office which was somewhat choking Nathan. He just didn’t like it in here.“Good morning Mr. Blueberry,” Nathan said. “You asked for me.”“Same sir,” Velma said.“Yes, yes, I did ask for you guys.” the dean said, as if trying to find his footing and wits in placing this whole situation “It is no news now that Rosetta
The ProtectoR A set-up
Cayden was the one who invited him over. Nathan couldn't figure out why Cayden left the note. He didn’t invite him so that he could be threatened about Rose’s whereabouts. Cayden must have something up his sleeves. Nathan thought as he walked into Gray crescent. It was a long, busy street and it was close.Why was he even thinking so much when he was almost there?When he sees Cayden, they'll either talk about it or fight about it. Nathan thought to himself, confidently.Out of nowhere, from behind, Nathan felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned back in response to stimuli only to receive a blow on his face. Nathan flung his arm to retaliate with his well-fisted palm. His attacker dodged his fist and dashed to his front. He landed another blow on Nathan, this time from the front, then began running.Nathan pursued him with every strength in him. Nathan was fast but his assailant was faster.His unknown fighter kept running until he came to the end of the street. The street was clo
The ProtectoR A long bath!
Nathan awoke from his painful and unending sleep . The sun rays were pouring in through the parted curtains. Standing before him was Mr. Swack together with two nurses. He felt like he had been kept in a fridge or locked up in an ice ball. It was freezing in the room and goosebumps formed on his skin.“How do you feel now?” Mr. Swack asked.How did he feel? Nathan didn't know. He turned around to flex his muscles before speaking, “Light, I feel lighter.” Nathan said.“How long have I been asleep?” He asked.“An estimated thirteen hours Sir,” replied one of the nurses.“What the hell, it does feels like I've been asleep for a hundred years,” Nathan said, trying to sit upright on the bed. His body still ached all over, but the pain had reduced substantially from what it was before, he was a lot relieved“Go get a shower and put these on,” Mr.Swack said, tossing over a transparent pack containing a white shirt and black trousers, and a new white towel to Nathan. “I'd be in my office,

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

" 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

Camaraderie
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'

introspection
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

Peace summit
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

Back home
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
