Epic 109"Do you live alone?" Kyrian asked. "Or do you have a family?"The man looked down at his feet, and then he looked back up at Kyrian. "I used to have a wife and a son," he said. "But they died many years ago. I've been alone ever since."Kyrian's heart went out to the man. He could see the pain in his eyes, and he knew what it was like to lose someone you loved. "I'm so sorry," he said. "That must have been hard." Kyrian looked at the man, and he said, "Please come with me to the city. I need your help to find out the truth about my mother. I know you don't know me, but I promise you I'm not a bad person. I'm just trying to find the answers I've been looking for."The man hesitated, and then he nodded. "I'll come with you," he said. "I want to help you in any way I can."Kyrian smiled, feeling a sense of relief. He had someone on his side, someone who was willing to help him. "Thanks Kyrian asked about the MK Group, and he noticed a change in the man's demeanour. The man's fa
Epic 110Kyrian's question seemed to unsettle the man, who shifted in his seat and cast nervous glances around the car. Finally, he leaned in closer, his voice low. "Yes, I know Inspector John. But he's not the man you think he is."Kyrian's heart skipped a beat as the man's words sunk in. "What do you mean? He's been helping me find my mother's killers," he whispered, feeling as though the pieces of the puzzle were shifting before his eyes.The man sighed. "The MK Group is more cunning than you could ever imagine. The man's face contorted with a mix of dread and resignation. "John's involvement is deeper than you realize," he said, his voice quavering with emotion. "He's been working with the MK Group for years. That's why he was assigned to your mother's case, to cover up any leads that might expose their involvement."Kyrian's mind reeled, struggling to process this new revelation. "He was working with them? All this time, I thought he was on my side..."Kyrian will come with the r
Epic 111"I can't go with you," the man said, his voice firm. "I have my work to do. You're on your own from here."Kyrian's jaw clenched in frustration, but he knew there was no point in arguing. He turned to Fredrick, giving him one last, warning glare. "If I find out you're holding out on us, you'll regret it."Fredrick's face turned a sickly shade of pale as he closed the door behind them, his shaking hands fumbling with the deadbolt.Kyrian and the man left the seedy alleyway, stepping out onto the busy streets of the city. The bustle of people and traffic seemed to mock their efforts as if the MK Group's reach extended to every corner of the world."I don't know if this is enough," Kyrian said, his voice tight with frustration. "We need to figure out what Project Omega is. And we need to find the leader before he slips away again.""I know," the man said, placing a hand on Kyrian's shoulder. "We'll need to move fast. "I wish I knew where they were," the man replied, his voice f
Epic 112Kyrian's excitement was palpable as he led his father into the café, gesturing towards Timi and Bola. "Dad, I want you to meet my family, Timi and Bola. They're the family I've found in this crazy world."His father extended a hand in greeting, his expression a mixture of curiosity and relief. "It's a pleasure to meet you both. Kyrian has spoken very highly of you."Timi smiled and shook the older man's hand. "The pleasure's ours, sir. Kyrian's told us so much about you, too.".Kyrian's father looked at Timi and Bola with a sense of pride and warmth in his eyes. "I'm honoured to meet you both," he said. "Kyrian has told me so much about you, and I can already see why he considers you family. Family is not just about blood, but about the people who stand by you through thick and thin."Timi beamed at Kyrian's father, his smile widening as he responded, "Thank you, sir. Kyrian is like a brother to us, and we're so glad that we can be here for him, just like you.""I couldn't be
Epic 113Within minutes, police sirens wailed in the distance, racing towards Kyrian's house. The group huddled inside, tense and alert, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.Kyrian held Jasmine close, his arms around her like a shield. "We're not going to let anyone hurt you, Jasmine. You're safe with us," he reassured her, his voice steady and strong.Bola and Timi positioned themselves near the windows, their eyes scanning the surrounding area. "Looks like they've got this street locked down," Bola said, his gaze sharp and vigilant. As the police sirens grew louder, Jasmine's breathing became more erratic. Kyrian stroked her hair, his touch gentle and comforting. "Jasmine, look at me. You're safe. They won't get to you. I promise," he said, his voice low and reassuring.Jasmine closed her eyes, her body slowly relaxing into his embrace. "I'm sorry, Kyrian. I'm so scared," she whispered, her voice ragged with emotion.Kyrian cupped her cheek, his gaze soft and tender. "There's n
Epic 114.Kyrian's head swam, the world around him blurring into a dizzying, surreal haze. His father...shot? The only thought in his mind was to get to the hospital, to see his father, to find out what had happened.He whirled around, his eyes meeting Jasmine's. "We need to go," he said, his voice urgent and panicked. "My father...he's been shot."Jasmine nodded, her face pale with shock. "I'll get the car," she said, already moving towards the door. Kyrian and Jasmine raced out the door, the urgency of the moment driving them onward. Jasmine slid behind the wheel, her hands gripping the steering wheel with white-knuckled intensity.Kyrian watched the scenery race by, his mind racing even faster. "Call Bola," he said, his voice tight with tension. "We need to know what's going on. Where did they hit them? How did it happen?"Jasmine fumbled with her phone, trying to dial Bola's number as she swerved around a corner. Finally, the call connected."Mr Bola, what happened?" Kyrian demand
Epic 115As the mysterious figure stepped closer, the cameras captured a glint of metal. It was a gun.Kyrian and Jasmine exchanged a look of alarm. This was it. The moment they'd been waiting for.Kyrian's hand hovered over the keyboard, his finger poised to press the button that would alert the police. But then he stopped a thought dawning on him."What if we don't call the police?" he said slowly, his eyes never leaving the screen. "What if we use this as an opportunity to find out who he's working with?" Jasmine's eyes widened, the wheels in her mind turning at lightning speed. "We'd need a plan," she said, her voice low and steady. "A way to get close to them without arousing suspicion."Kyrian nodded, his mind racing with possibilities. "We could pose as recruits," he said. "Mercenaries, maybe. That would get us into the warehouse, and it would give us a chance to gather intel on their operation."Jasmine nodded, her expression thoughtful. "We'd need to change our appearances, t
Epic 116The minutes ticked by, each one seeming to stretch into an eternity. Kyrian's mind raced, trying to process the truth about his father, and the potential danger he was in.Finally, the door swung open once more, and Inspector John returned, his face a mask of anger."He's coming," he growled, his eyes fixed on Kyrian. "Your father's on his way here, and when he arrives, I'm going to give him a choice. He can either surrender himself or watch you die."You can't do that!" Kyrian shouted, his voice cracking with desperation. "He's my father, you can't hurt him!John's lips curled into a cruel smirk. "Oh, but I can, Kyrian. And I will. Unless, of course, you help me bring him in. Help me put an end to his reign of terror once and for all."Kyrian froze, his mind reeling. His father, a terrorist? It was impossible to believe. And yet, the evidence was mounting against him. "You want me to betray my father?" Kyrian said, his voice shaking. "I can't do that. I won't."Inspector Jo
