DEEP INVESTIGATION Josh has the desk littered with files and documents and pictures from the scene. He’d had a sleepless night trying to add one or two dots together. There is no way a CIA will have no clue on a case like this and from the words of the victim’s wife he had listened keenly, everyone now thinks Maven is the cause of this. But to get the facts straight she is actually innocent. He rummaged through the files tracing a finger on the list he had in his hand. His eyes fixated on the paper that he didn’t notice Ray had walked in. “Still on the case?” He asked, causing Joshua to look up for the very first time in a long while. “It’s draining man, take a look, new stories every day and the suspects did a great job in hiding all the tracks,” he answered with drooling shoulders.“Do you think we can even make a convincing report this week? The state Sheriff wants to know how far we’ve gone with investigations and you know how cruel he can be when it comes to matters like this

OUT FOR THE TRUTHJogging up the hospital stairs Josh had only one motive in y; to get to the root of the matter once and for all. There was little chaos in his heart as to whether the step was a right or wrong one but at this point it didn’t really matter how he was going to dig out the truth from them. Under this investigation he had decided not to wear his uniform until he was sure he wasn't being followed or watched by anyone. He took only the last step, landing himself in the elevator hallway. Large hall filled with outpatients, nursed well-wishers and all you can think of. He punched in the button to the fourth floor where the victims were kept. The two men are in the same room with their wives looking at them. His heart pounding against hos chest like an earthquake or a volcano was going to happen if he didn’t reach there on time. Luckily for him he got to the fourth floor without delay. The nurse who had tried to woo him the other night had been replaced by another who obv

AN INTERVIEW The sun was a bit hot when Davis stepped out. He had arranged for a secret meeting with the press. He drove the car speedily and packed right in front of the press house. He stepped out of the car wearing his sun shades and his suit. He smiled at himself and at what he was about to do. A little honk front, the car before locking it up. The two ladies assigned were already standing by the side waiting for him. He had called them earlier to tell them he would stop by the press house. By then officer Joshua was parked outside watching him as he took the woman's hands one after the other in a firm handshake. “Good day Mr. David, good to have you here”. The ladies greeted him in unison, he nodded at them and followed their lead. “This way sir”. They told him and he began to walk straight up to the direction the ladies went. He adjusted his suit and followed them. They walked through a long hallway leading to other rooms. Then when they got to the main transmission room t

A SUSPECT Since the news was finally going to spread round town David had the broadest smile on his face. This isn’t going to take anything away from him but it would definitely do a lot of harm to Maven and her profile. That was just the only motivation he was having. Now he had done what Sebastian has always wanted and what he too thought was good enough to ruin her reputation. No one was ever going to believe her and no one would believe her ever. After the interview he shook hands with Mr. Morgan and then got up to leave. They thanked him for coming then assigned one of the ladies to walk him out to his car. David had the greatest joy that he is able to achieve this great mission now. He is sure in his mind that his grandma and the family will be very proud of his decision to speak to the news men. The moment he got out Officer Josh brought his camera out and began to make videos of him. Of course he never forgets to take his pictures for evidence too. He watched him get into

LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES A soft door came on Joshua’s door. He checked the time on his phone, it was four o'clock in the evening. He had been working all morning from home since it was the weekend so he decided to take a quick nap before visiting the case on his table. “Who could be visiting without calling?” He asked himself. He got up from the couch and dragged his feet grudgingly to check the door. The doorbell comes chiming loud this time it seems the person has finally seen where the doorbell is. Joshua scoffed and when he got to the door, he grabbed the knob and pulled it open to meet a set of large blue eyes peering into his face. He squinted his eyes at the lady trying hard to recall where he had seen the face. “Good day officer, I am Bella” “Bella, I think I have met you somewhere but I just can’t recall, you know we meet a lot of people daily”. He scoffed, still unsure whether to let the lady in or not. He scanned the yard to see if she had come with any extra bodies witho

A DIG IN Marcus looked at his system again. Then typed in the Garcia name into the system. The database is quicker to find anything one needs since they are all registered. He waited for it to lead. As the system reads, Initializing… Marcus smacked his lip... he suddenly remembered he was munching on some potato chips before his boss’s call came in. He grabbed the can and resumed munching on his snack. The system began to bee “Loading…” Marcus drummed his fingers on the desk and grabbed his soda, he gulped it down his throat letting the sweet sensation it gave trail down the thirsty side of his esophagus. “Let’s see what we have” Marcus waited and for a minute it kept reading the loading sign. Marcus smacked his lip the moment the system showed complete. “Here we are”. He took a deep breath in and looked at the screen with Keen interest. “Come take a look Jamal” he said with his eyes still on the system Jamal didn’t hear because he had quickly plugged in his headset. Marcus turned

IT TAKES A LITTLE CONVINCING Maven thought about the whole thing. If she tells her mom her mom might not allow her to go for this mission. So she kept quiet about it till the day she was ready to go for it. The next morning was a Sunday. She had planned out how she would dress and what she was going to do to make Sebastian spill all the juices he has. The truth was all she needed from him and if it meant setting him up to get the truth she would. She got dressed in a nice dinner dress. She had called Sebastian the night before to book the date. She knows that telling him to stay with her in his home would be the perfect idea to make him spill the cake. She has taken her time to study Sebastian for the past years and nothing on earth would make her think he would disagree with the plan. As nature and luck would have it, she didn’t disagree with her. She had her earring on when her mother came in. “You have a date my darling?” her eyes spark as she asked her daughter. “I hav

CAUGHT IN THE ACT Maven strolled into the house. The living room was well decorated with lights and roses. The entire house smelled of sweet rose and musk. “Your house smells nice”. She said to him with a smile. “I had to do it all for you my love” he said and then went on to wine ware to get the most expensive wine. “We need to be in the mood” he said as he walked to get it. He turned the wine into a glass and gave her one. “Thank you” “So did your rich boyfriend dump you?” he asked her with a grin waiting for her response. “He is not my boyfriend. It’s you I want Sebastian” she said to him sipping the wine he had just brought, Sebastian took a sip and then winked unbelievably at her. He still doesn’t seem to understand why she had chosen a date with him at such short notice. He has his own plans to do what he wants yet he was going to wait for the perfect time. “You what me yet you chose him over me the other day”. He reminded her. “I didn’t choose him, grandma

HOME AT LAST The moment they finished the duo got up and began to walk from the VIP lounge section to the main restaurant. Suddenly Thomas paused as a sense of danger hit him. His eyes shot a glowing green light and when Maven saw it she became very terrified. “What is wrong with you Thomas?Why are your eyes glowing?”she began to panic.From all she could see, Thomas looked like a demigod. “Is everything alright? The moment she shook him violently he came back to his original self. The green glow in his eyes died down immediately. “I think someone needs my help around here”. He said unbuttoning his suit as he began to walk faster. He increased his pace so much that Maven had to run along with him. “What do you mean someone needs your help?” she asked him but he gave her deaf ears and continued without stopping to say a single word. She called his name and ran after him till they got to the hall. “Call the ambulance”. Maven heard loud voices screaming while others tried to gi

A DATE The moment Maven got home her mom had done the decorations and a cake was placed on the table with candles. ‘What’s going on here? Maven asked as she walked into the living room. Lady Victoria had a smile on her face. “Happy birthday my child”. Lady Victoria said, handing the glass of wine to Maven. ‘Mom. You did all of this for me? Awn! Thank you so much”. Maven said smiling, she took the glass from her mom and sipped from the wine. “This is good.” She then cleared her throat and clasped her hands together. “Look what we have here”.She exclaimed and rushed off to sit close to the cake. I have a wish and I want to make it. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath for a second before blowing off the candle sticks. Lady Victoria and Abigail clapped their hands happily. “Happy birthday Ms.” Abigail said to her and handed her a small box. “You got me a gift too?’ Maven asked with her eyes watering. “Come here” she grabbed the lady and hugged her tightly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAVEN "What agreement are you talking about mom?"Maven asked her mother. “You know about it already and Grandma here knows too. It’s long overdue and I need to get my life together. A life outside of the Taylor’s roof”. Lady Victoria was determined to get her life back at least for the rest of her days. Having a companion and someone to share her burden with. “Grandma, what do you have to say to this proposal?’ Maven asked, looking at her grandma with knowing eyes. “Mom, what exactly are they talking about? What deal do you have with Victoria? Do you have any idea Derrick?’ Patrick turned to his brother and asked him. Derrick shook his head. “I have no damn idea anything like this ever took place. “Whoa! Mom, that's pure wickedness. I thought all these while she stayed back with us because she so loved her husband and wanted to keep the legacy going. I never knew you had some contract running right under our noses” Patrick said the words without filtrating an

WE ARE SORRY Since the incident Maven has just been minding her business until Grandma’ request for dinner came through. She had always known who grandma was when it came to having dinner or lunch or even breakfast at her place. With all that has gone on she just doesn’t want to get entangled with grandma and her boys, just focusing on her job and if need be quit if another chaos comes. All that mattered to her right now was her peace of mind and sanity. Maven walked down to meet her mother in the living room. “Mom, did Grandma Clara call you?’ She asked her mother if she had her eyes glued on the TV for her favorite show. The lady shook her head repeatedly without taking her eyes off the screen. “Well, I guess we would be having dinner at grandmas’ I suggest you go get dressed.” She informed her mother. Lady Victoria looked up at Maven with a frown on her face. “I am not going to Clara’s house for no dinner” she said rudely, grabbing the remote control on the table. “Why?Sh

SENTENCED It’s been three months since Sebastian has been in and out of court. His Lawyer Bryan knows well that Sebastian would never win the case against the government and the Al Thani’s. The biggest name in the society. He had his head bowed in the cubicle when his lawyer made the last statement. The presiding judge Albert Wilmore sat on his seat with the wig hanging stylishly on his head. An old man from the North. He is presumed to be the best and sincere judge in the entire city. “Get me out of here” he whispered to his lawyer in a very soft tone. “I am trying my best. The judge is a strict one but I will see what I can do. “What do you even mean by that? I don’t need you to try, I need you to get me out. What’s there to lie and convince the court that I didn’t do it? You can’t even lie. Shame on you”. He said and just then the judge hit the gavel to maintain order. The break was over. The judge cleared his throat. “After hearing from both parties, this honorable court

LET THEM GO The moment she saw the news she knew she had to do something to save her son. She had gone to the station to plead and try to bride David but the officers wouldn’t let her do that despite the fact that they know her too well. “I need my son out of here. No one is saying anything”, she began to cry. Just then Thomas drove in. She threw her bag on the floor and rushed to meet him. “I asked you to get your lawyers ready. David is appearing in court in a few days and there is nothing anyone will do about it. I will not let him treat my wife like that all because of envy”. Thomas was still pissed at what David did. But before he could say one more word, the old woman fell on her knees and began to plead. Everyone came out and began to look in surprise that the all mighty Lady Clara Taylor could go on her knees begging a small boy like Thomas all because she wants her son to come out of prison. At this point Thomas remembered his grandma and how she had gone to her k

CROWNED The morning after the whole incident Thomas’s assistant called in. Thomas was still in bed when his phone began to ring. “It’s too early for all the calls to start coming in”. He murmured as she reached out for the phone. Seeing Greg’s name made his heart churn a little bit. “Greg, what do we have this morning?’ he asked in a greasy voice. “Sir, you have a meeting with the Lesotho group at 9am”. His phone was calm and patient. “I will try not to be late. Put everything in other”. “Yes boss! Greg answered. They spoke on the phone for a while listing Thomas’ meetings and activities for the day after which they ended the call. Thomas got out of bed grudgingly. After the whole drama for the week he doesn’t see himself getting into any meeting or sit but he had to do it for the sake of the company. The company has to go one way or the other. Just as he got the tip of his bed a knock came on his door. He turned his head to look over. He knows his grandpa or Lucas, his co

MAVEN IS DISCHARGED Lady Victoria has never been this rude to grandma but since Grandma has decided to bite the finger that feeds her then she would have to face the dance and the music she had set for herself. Thomas left the prison that instance and he headed straight to the hospital to meet Maven. On his way he had asked Grace Maven’s assistant to watch over her while they await her discharge time. He hurried and drove the car to the hospital and when he arrived at the front gate the men he kept to safeguard the yard nodded at him. They were dressed in black suits and black face Masks different from the security men who work for the hospital. He raised up using the elevator to the fourth floor where Maven was. He waved at the nurse rashly and wafted past her like spoke ready to consume a whole bush. This was the moment he wished he could kill his enemies with his powers but that would not be very necessary at this point. He is not big enough to face David and Sebastian. Rath
