The room fell silent, with people looking at each other and back at Adam, a middle-aged woman who had a gleam in her eyes came forward and jabbed a finger at Adam,“It's true, I heard someone say it and they were so sure of what they said! He's a criminal who escaped prison!" Whispers quickly erupted amongst the crowd as they looked at Adam with varying disdain and sneers, At the stranger’s mention, everyone turned their eyes on him with questions and hatred in their eyes, causing Adam to sigh and try to subtly survey the crowd,It was only someone who knew him who could possibly say that, but unfortunately, he couldn't see the culprit as Logan had purposely said it to the hearing of a few people he suspected to have loud mouths.Mr Durmont was undoubtedly smug as he sneered at him,“Haha!!! It's obvious you're a criminal. You already look and act like one! Only a fool would have believed your tales!” he exclaimed, then turned to the vice manager,“What are we waiting for?! Let's ge
“Hello Adam,” the man exclaimed with a beaming face, walking towards Adam, his bodyguards walking right behind him,“You're the last person I would expect to meet here this fine morning.”Adam shifted his weight to another foot, feeling of relief slightly cutting across his skin. He recognized Jordan and knew that Jordan could aid in expanding his argument about being a member of the bank.“Mr Jordan,” Adam gasped, breathing out his exhaustion. “I am more than pleased to meet you here,” he was holding back his facial expressions, to hide the discomfort he was subjected to in the past minutes.The crowds’ inquisitive gaze was stuck on at Adam as they engraved their gaze at him, expectantly waiting to see how things unfold.Mr Durmont, was consistently fuelling the Vice Manager towards getting Adam Arrested for being a criminal.The tired manager traced his dull gaze from Mr. Jordan to Adam and back again to Mr. Jordan.“You two know each other?” He asked Jordan, with a glint of hope in
“Please sir,” the vice manager pleaded on behalf of Elizabeth. “She is a young breadwinner, helping her poor family and she is the only source of hope they have,"Adam and Jordan exchanged glances and burst into laughter,“Wait a minute, she is from a wretched background and would have the guts to speak in such a gross manner to me?” Jordan asked with a surprised glance at the Vice manager.“Can you call her in?” he demanded. “I need to see what she looks like,The vice manager rang up the secretary and she sent up Elizabeth, who walked into the office, shivering,Jordan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, as he stared at her with mouth agape, “You? Elizabeth?” He turned to the Vice manager. “I was her surety for this job. When the board demanded a surety for her, I stood for her. So it is you who engineered the embarrassment that Adam Sander endured today?”She started to shake her head and then nodded, tears gathering in her eyes. Her face was beginning to lose its colour,
The sonorous sound of the afternoon breeze filled Adam's ears as he walked out of the Haman Hale bank, feeling a little lightened as he walked out, his mood gradually swaying back to his normal self as he tried to push aside the terrific events that occurred earlier.He was trying to be hasty in his steps as he walked through the street, down to a point where he could pick a taxi, he needed to check on Amber before his trip to thr exhibition,It was going to be a long day but the better half of it has been graciously given to the bank, not on his will.His loops curled up in a sneer as he remembered in a flash the hoarse voice of the lady whose name was Elizabeth and the accusatory voice of the pot bellied mad who was called Mr.Durmont,“Funny humans…” he mumbled through clenched teeth and a stifled smile.A taxi pulled up in front of him and the driver poked his head out.“Do you need a ride, Sire?” He asked, flashing his brown teeth and his hairy nostrils,Adam was taken aback, as h
The journey to Dumbbell in the North Province was long and Adam sat in the tight cab, glaring at the streets and the roads. General Olson was right, it was a small town, but as small as it was, it was beautiful,He was so engrossed in the beautiful forms of nature that he did not catch a quick glimpse of the little crowd of three people that were by the roadside, two of them moving frantically, while someone seemed to be lying on the ground,He registered the scene in his subconscious but hadn't fully sunk in until the cab sped a little down the road, blinking his eyes, he sat up on his seat and immediately tapped the driver,“Did you see that?”“See what Sir?” The driver asked, looking at him through the rearview mirror,Adam glanced a little to the back, and then faced the driver again,“We gotta go back. I just saw three people by the road and they look like they need help.”The cab driver looked through his rear mirror to view the back and he hesitantly hit the road in reverse mod
The calmer sister palmed her hand to her face and exhaled, her face reddening as she turned her sister to face her, releasing her grip on Joan's hair,“You haven't done anything aside from pacing back and forth and wailing at intervals! Now that someone is here and willing to help out you're acting unreasonable?! Wake up, Joan!!!" She seethed as she snapped at her sister who only sneered in response and hissed loudly.Ignoring her sister, she heaved a breath and faced Adam calmly,“Go on, and do whatever it takes…” her voice cracked some more and she expelled a breath, closing her eyes tightly before continuing,"Just please help him if you can…He can't die" It was a terrific scene for Adam, watching siblings fight over who got to handle their father,Adam nodded his head, he could understand her fears and plight. He got to work as he used the needles ito find the old man's pressure point and traced his fingers from his neck down to his wrist in search of a small vein.He immediately
The journey to Dumbbell in the North Province wasn't as harrowing as Adam felt it would be, asides from the driver's praises at intervals and loud personality, the drive was quite pleasant. The exhibition was a two-day event and he was a little late for the first day, considering the delayed time while helping the family by the road.As soon he arrived at the event, he thanked the driver and stepped out, heading towards the hall, he couldn't wait to find what had brought him to this part and finally be able to help his child,Adam heaved a breath and closed his eyes briefly before trudging forward with a small smile etched on his face, The hall was buzzing with activities as Adam made his way through, it was a large hall with different stalls as well as the main room where the auction would take place. Adam couldn't help but admire the view, taking it all in. He was glad General Olson had told him about this place, it seemed promising. "Over here Sir, I have the rarest and most uni
Not long after, a lady rushed towards them screaming with tears rolling down her cheeks.“I have been scammed by a lady here! Where is she?!”The woman demanded with tears streaming down her face as she darted her eyes around the stall, the seller seemed to have disappeared into thin air,“I said, where's that fake woman!" She cried out, almost sniffling as her eyes kept darting. Adam who already knew what was happening hid a smirk as he spared the proud man a glance,"Ma’am what's all the fuss about?! The auction is about to start, we can't have the hallway rowdy” the proud man stated proudly with a puffed-up chest,The ranting lady sneered at him and huffed,“I want my money back! Take this useless and rotten herb off my hand this minute" she whined, her voice almost crumbling under the weight of the herb she held, Adam felt a little pang in his heart for her, he could tell that she had been duped by the herb woman, who had almost caught him.He cleared his throat and faced the woma
