Lucas on the other hand, was at his lodge drinking whiskey, and staring into space. Remembering the look on Adrian's face when he threatened him last night, he felt a little in pain.He saw the pain of betrayal in his eyes and he wished that he could soothe him, but that would be the most foolish thing to do.As he gulped down one more shot, his phone rang. It was an unknown number. He was hesitant to answer it, because he was hoping that Adrian didn't try to use another number to call him.He has already blocked him from being able to do that on his main contact.“Well, I'll just block the contact again.” He said to himself and then answered the call.“Hello. Is this Lucas?” The voice was familiar to him, but he couldn't recall where he had heard such a voice; and it was definitely not Adrian's voice.“Who is this?” He asked, calmly.“Oh! So, you do not recall my voice. Anyways, not everyone is able to do that. Regina told me that you have finally come to your senses and will be wil
Lucas was nervous, and didn’t know what to do or how to avoid this situation since Steve Wilson wanted a test of loyalty, but he had to keep up a straight face to look confident, and like it was no big deal.“I’m just kidding.” Steve Wilson chuckled, and returned the hand of truth into its box, and the person holding it, took it back.Lucas could almost sigh out of relief if not that he didn’t want to give Steve Wilson any hint that he was nervous to the peak. “I don’t need to use it for you since I believe you are willing to join us. But I will also have a use for you which would prove how willing you are to join my league.“What’s that?” Lucas asked.“Not a knowledge you are to know about, right now. I haven’t even thought and strategized about it, but when I do, I certainly will reach out to you.” Steve Wilson said to him, and then Lucas nodded.On the other hand, Adrian was set to go for the meeting he was to have with the Governor, and also checked the contact card that was give
Adrian went back to his company, filled with joy, knowing fully well that soon, Steve Wilson would get the bomb.He worked on other documents he was meant to work on until night fall when he retired.“Time to go home.” He said under his breath and then walked out of his office, taking his suit jacket along with him.He got into his car and then remembered that he wanted to search up that secretary. While he could have easily put a call through to Lucas to help him make that search, he couldn't, since Lucas was no longer a part of him.“Oh! There might be no need for me to make use of my phone or laptop to research on that woman.” Adrian smiled, recalling that the system in his head could do that.He was going to wait until he got home before he decided to do that so he could give it his full concentration rather than be distracted on the road.On getting home, he shared the news with Sophie and she was really happy.“Why don't we celebrate!” She voiced out happily.“No. Let's only cel
As he got into his car, he stared at the box for a while, and sighed.Then he drove off to a place which was a little far from Steve Wilson’s company, and parked his car just until he was done.He opened the box, and to his surprise, it was the hand of a little child. He could have almost thrown the box away, but he had to be calm so he wouldn’t make it known that he had touched the box.“What the hell!” He voiced out, still in shock.Then he brought out his phone, and took a photo of the box, then covered it up back, and placed it on the seat beside him, and took a deep breath before he started the car, drove off.Steve Wilson had sent him a text of the address he was to take it to, so all he had to do was to drive off to the person’s home.In about thirty minutes, he got to the mansion, and got down from the car with the box in his hand.He walked up to the gate, and the security guards turned to look at him, and stared at the box before they stared at him back.“I’m from Steve Wils
Adrian prepared for Lucas’ arrival. He had already told Sophie about it, and she also couldn’t wait to see him.“I’ll need you to stay in your room until I am certain that Lucas is really ready to be back with us.”“I don’t understand. But you told me that he realized his mistakes, and is ready to apologize.”“I know I said that, but we can’t just give him our full trust just like that. We both know it. He was damn clear about it when he told me he was leaving us and joining Steve Wilson. So, I can’t just believe it right away that he is back with us.”“So, how are you going to tell if he is truly back with us or not?” Sophie asked as she folded his arms, but then he heard the doorbell ring.Both he and Sophie shared a glance, and then Adrian placed his hands on Sophie’s shoulders.“I know you are eager to have him back to the squad, but our brains have to be in this as well. If you are hurt one more time, it is on you, and I don’t think I will ever forgive you.” Adrian made his point
Adrian gave Lucas a sharp look and Lucas smiled.“Now that you know you're busted, I'm sure your next step is to run away. But you have to be careful while doing that because I have installed mines all around. So, choose. Do you prefer to die while trying to escape or you'll wait in your house and stay alive? That's totally up to you.” Lucas uttered and hung up.Adrian's sharp look turned to a smile; one which showed how appreciative he was of that wit.“How did you come up with that?” Adrian voiced out with a chuckle.“Well, I just thought of it. You know, while we've been trying to get a hold of Steve Wilson, and we've been failing we've been learning about him. The steps he could take, what kind of man he is; and what he is capable of doing.” “Hmm. You're right.”A knock came on the door and that interrupted them.“Must be the cops.” Adrian uttered as he walked towards the door.He stared into the peephole and confirmed they were the cops before he opened it up.“Are you okay Mr.
It had been a month since Steve Wilson and his accomplices had been defeated and it left quite a relief in the hearts of the trio; Adrian, Lucas, and Sophie.They lived just the way they wanted. Living freely and happily like people with no problems. Years of hardwork had finally paid off, so they deserved it.Sophie was in her room and on her bed going through some papers. Today was the last day of their long-term vacation from so much work; especially complicated ones.“Ugh! I need a break.” She grunted and stretched to relieve the bones which had been tensed up from being on one spot for too long.She pulled herself down until her feet touched the ground and she rose to her feet.Sophie pulled off her casual wear, picked up her phone and turned on the water heater through it.Then she sauntered towards the bathroom and opened the door, then stepped in. She did a ballet dance to the whirring sound of the water heater and when it stopped, she chuckled.“Okay, time for something relax
“By the way, we all got the texts and something happened before then. What was your own encounter?” Sophie asked, out of curiosity.“I was locked in.”“Oh, that son of a b*tch!”“How long did it take for you to be released?” Lucas asked, inquisitively.“I don’t understand. Is that really what’s important? We have an enemy who is making use of technology perfectly, which means he could have killed us when he had the opportunity to, but he probably has a lot of tricks up his sleeves.”“You’re right.” Lucas uttered in a calm tone.Adrian sighed, feeling a little relieved that he didn’t have to make his sound suspicious because he had a system which helped him out of his situation.“We need to track the person behind this.” Adrian said, and both Lucas and Sophie nodded.“Lucas, kindly track where the message came from.” Adrian requested and rose to his feet to help him get a laptop.After retrieving the laptop, he handed it over to Lucas who began to make his search.“But if we find this
