The Return Of The God of War 167
They touch down in Mexico City late afternoon and the scorching sun greets them. The place is as hot as an oven and maybe it's just the environment telling Duke that he is not welcome. A line of cars is waiting for them outside of the plane, Duke can see this outside of the window. " This is it, man. " Ansel takes off his fastener. " Hope you are ready."" I am. "" One more thing, before we leave. " Ansel looks straight at him. " No weapons on you, right?"" Of course not, I am not going there to fight him. " Duke scoffs. " I just have to remind you because it might get you killed. " Ansel warns." I don't have any of that on me. " Duke answers. " If you say so, I just want to help you." Ansel raises his hands in surrender. He stands to his feet and Duke does the same. Ansel leads the way out of the plane, he steps into the brightness of the sun. "Juan!" He shakes the hand of the first man. " Ansel, hola!" The man, Juan greets. He is in a suit and has dark shades on, he doe

" Do you realize that with a raise of my pinky, I can order your destruction?" Alejandro mocks. " Waste you the same way you wasted my son?"Duke's hands don't drop from the air, dropping them will mean death for him. " I didn't kill your son. " Duke calmly mutters. " Liar!" Alejandro screams. " Bloody lies and you are going to pay for it!"" Think about it!" Duke raises his voice and stands to his feet. " You think that if I am guilty I will come here to explain everything to you?" Alejandro watches him. " I risked everything, came here to tell you that your son was at the wrong place at the wrong time. " Duke looks him straight in the eyes. " Why should I and the people I love pay for that?"" Are you saying I should be accountable for that?" Alejandro grunts. " Yes. " Duke nods. " Maybe you shouldn't have let your young son go all by himself to do something so dangerous."Duke's eyes move around the room and find Ansel. " Maybe you shouldn't have hired little boys to play wit

Ansel is smiling like he has won some kind of lottery and at this point, Duke is convinced that his sister has gotten down with a psychopath. " Tell me. " Ansel puts his hand against his chin. " How did you find out?"" It was all your master plan, wasn't it?" Duke fires back his question. " Why don't you tell me?" Ansel lets out a happy exhale and then looks at Duke. " Well, I am going to tell you. It all started when you won't just let Eden and I be. " Ansel starts. " God, you were such a pain and I wanted you gone. I couldn't be directly involved with trying to kill you because your sister will find out. So I plotted it out."" It wasn't hard for you, was it?" Duke nods. " Absolutely not. " Ansel beams. " Not when I have every leader of the military on my payroll, including the freaking president! It took one call to send you straight to Padre island!"" Where your boys were working and where Ethan was your intern." Duke looks out of the window, almost speaking to himself. " E

Vice president Connor McWilliams. He is a hundred times more responsible than the sitting president and everyone knows this. If not for politics and godfatherism, he should have been the president. He has been the only one who has been intentional about positive change in the country, the upright one who wouldn't sell his conscience for a gold coin. It's not a surprise that Mister Conor has been missing a lot in the public eye and Duke hasn't seen or heard from him for a very long time. Mister Conor calling right now has to be something important and at this moment, he wouldn't have taken the call of the president, but he will take that of Mister Conor. He takes the phone from Bloom, who turns around and leaves the room. Duke places the phone over his ear and strolls to the window. " Duke Dawson. " He hears Mister Conor's familiar voice, it has been a long time. " Good evening, Mister vice president. " He greets. " Sorry for the wait, I just came back from a trip and I was tak

Logan is looking straight at Eden, she is leaning against the wall of her office. She is thinking as she taps her puffed cheek with a pen. " What do you think?" She asks Logan. " Should I let him go through?"" You don't need my opinion, I am only delivering a message, I will take back to him whatever you say. " Logan shrugs. "Hmm." She huffs and returns back to her seat. " You think I should let a wanted criminal pass my territory? But there is a bounty on his head."" Yes, but he has promised to give you three times more than what the government is promising." Logan reminds her. Eden lets out a chuckle, she has been caught, and she likes the price involved. " That's a lot of money, I think I am going to take it. " She concludes. " Tell him he can go through, only him." "Woah, that's the catch." Logan stops her. " He is crossing with some of his men, and some of his hostages."Eden's face changes, and drastically. Her eyes grow dark and her eyebrows furrow. "Hostages?" She repe

Eden is left throbbing on the bed even after having slept for good hours. She has woken up in Ansel's bedroom with clear images of the sex they had hours ago. She sighs as she sits up on the bed, she is still sensitive in her down area, but it's in a good way. Maybe that's why she hasn't left Ansel after all of this time, he knows how to leave a woman satisfied. She pulls the blanket with her as she gets off the bed and she gingerly walks to the bathroom. She takes a slow bath and finds a free dress to put on. Now she is hungry. She goes to the kitchen and pours herself a glass of drink. The current housekeeper wanders in and almost trips when she sees her. " Good evening, ma'am." She greets with a stammer. Eden nods, that's just about all of the acknowledgment she gives the woman. She waves her away and she goes off to her business in the kitchen. Eden is perched on a stool from the kitchen. Ansel is downstairs in the sitting room. She can hear his conversation if she tr

Duke is working in his office, looking through records and lightly chewing on his pen when he hears a knock on his door. He looks up to see Melody looking at him. She has changed through the months and that's probably because the pregnancy did change her. She is chubby and her skin glows even more, but that just makes her even prettier. She is holding the door by a small crack and she peeks through it. " Hi. " She smiles. " I'm so sorry to bother you.""No, you're cool." He closes the files in front of him and pushes them aside. He has been this way since she came to live with him. He drops everything the very instant she calls for him. She walks in, she is putting on a beautiful long black gown. She turns around and lifts her hair so that he can get her zipper. He pulls it up and arranges her hair to cover it back. " Thanks. " She says. " You're welcome." He nods. " Bloom went to get the team from the airport." She says to him. " We are going to get to work as soon as the

" General." Duke acknowledges him with a nod. " This is unexpected. "" Indeed, it is." He grunts. " To what do I owe this visit?" Duke asks. " It has been a while since I last saw you, to be honest."" You are being invited to the office for questioning." General John says. " You are to come immediately."" What for?" Duke shrugs. " I thought you guys didn't want anything to do with me anymore?"" Quit the questions and come with us, son. " General John groans. " For once, stop being such a pain."" Why does this look like an arrest to me?" Bloom chimps in. " Why bring this number of soldiers just to invite him in?" " Watch who you speak to, son? " General John warns him. " You have forgotten that you can be dealt with massively."" Leave him out of this, I am the one you came for," Duke warns. He pushes Bloom behind him. " Come with us, General." He says. ", The longer you linger, the harder it gets for all of us."" I'm sorry, General John, but that won't be possible," Duke t
