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
MAVEN IN THE HOSPITAL The car parked right in front of the hospital, Officer Josh got out immediately to help Maven out of the car. “Cone ma’am let me have your hand”. He said and the maven responded with a weak hand stretching at him. He grabs her hand and helps her out of the car. The nurses were already there to help. Maven was then placed on the stretcher bed and rolled into the emergency ward for treatment. It was already getting late and Maven’s mom grew worried at home. He took up her phone and dialed Mavens’ line the fort time. When there was no answer she resorted to calling Thomas at least he would give her a good reason why her daughter is not home yet. “Hello Thomas,” she said over the phone. “Is Maven with you? I haven’t even met her yet?” he asked him, Thomas hesitated before giving her a genuine response. “No she is not Ma’am she is with Sebastian last I checked”. He answered him politely. “But she said he was going out with you?” Lady Victoria lied so she c
MAVEN IS FINE NOW The moment the doctor assured Thomas and Victoria that they could see Maven, the duo ran into the ward like loose dogs. The Doctor and the detective kept smiles on their faces as they watched Thomas and Lady Victoria running off to see Maven like they were some fourth graders in a queue. “The lady is stable now, you too can go see her”. The doctor informed Officer Josh who had thought the rule was for two persons to go in at once. “Two people are already inside”. He pointed quickly. “I know, but bring her here and you are a detective so we can be a few rules for you”. The doctor said, He cleared his throat and continued. “Mr. Al Thani doesn’t even have a business here except that she is some sort of friend”. “She is his wife”. The officer reported. “Really, I never knew they were married until now”. The doctor revealed with a look of shock on his face. “Yes, we all didn’t know until sometime we did” the detective answered. Then placed a large hand on t
THE ARREST The next morning the team of officers had surrounded Mr. Patrick’s house. A knock on the door and the maid hurried to open it. She had her eyes widened at Officer Josh. “Goo-good morning officer”. She stuttered the words to him. “Good morning ma’am. I am here for David, do you know if he is in?” he asked her politely. The lady took in a deep breath and held her chest with one hand. “Oh goodness gracious! I thought you had come for me instead. “No ma’am I have no case against you. The criminal Sebastian had confessed himself that David is the architect of the kidnap, so we have come to arrest him. I have my warrant”. He answered her. “It’s a good thing someone has to stop the madness but then I think you were quite late this morning, David and his father are heading to the airport. The flight should take off at 8:30am. He is going somewhere I can remember the name”. She told him while scratching her head. “Can I search the house Ma’am?” officer Josh asked polit
I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU MA CLARA Grandma walked out of the station in shame. She had sought several ways to release David from prison but to no avail. “Move the car Karl”. She spoke to her driver angrily like he was the cause of the problem, David was dancing to the tune he thought he was creating for Maven. Now that the news has gone round town no one would accept the fact that he didn’t do it. “I shall get my son the best lawyer to defend him”. She bit her lower lip after saying the words to herself. The driver continued with the drive home. Meanwhile Thomas has all his plans out together. He got into his car and drove off to the station at full speed. When he pulled up in the large parking lot just opposite the field, he saw some prisoners walking with spades in their hands with the officials watching them on one side. Thomas smiled. Of course prisoners who are here have to work for their sins one way or the other. “You are welcome sir”. The prison officers greeted since
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
