Epic 65Inspector John's incredible escape from prison! It was a night filled with suspense and excitement, a dimly lit, cold and damp prison cell, with the sound of heavy metal doors clanging shut and echoing through the corridors.He spent countless days and nights meticulously planning his escape, studying every nook and cranny of the prison. He knew every guard's routine, every blind spot, and every possible escape route.One fateful night, as the moonlight cast eerie shadows on the cell walls, John put his plan into motion. He had managed to fashion a small, discreet tool from a metal spoon he had been given during mealtime. With steady hands and unwavering determination, he skillfully picked the lock on his cell door, carefully listening for any approaching footsteps.As the lock clicked open, John's heart raced with adrenaline. He silently tiptoed through the dark and narrow corridors, avoiding the occasional flickering light that threatened to expose his escape. The air was he
Epic 66Finally, kyrian went to pick Timi up after the incident. He just couldn't hold back his joy, he had missed Timi recklessly.“Welcome home bro, hope you are all sound now?”. Kyrian said sounding a bit excited.Timi stepped out of the airport terminal with a wide grin on his face. "Thanks, Kyrian. I'm feeling better than ever," he replied, giving Kyrian a solid punch on the arm as they made their way to the car. "I've missed you, man. So much has happened since I've been away. I can't wait to catch up."Kyrian's heart swelled with warmth. "Me too," he said, pulling Timi into a hug. "You don't know how glad I am you're back." The ride back to Kyrian's apartment was filled with chatter, Timi eagerly telling Kyrian about his treatment, and Kyrian filling Timi in on the MK Group.Timi listened intently, his eyes widening at each new revelation. "The MK Group is really that deep in all of this?" he asked, shaking his head in disbelief. "And they're connected to my dad's disappearanc
Epic 67Jasmine's eyes flashed with anger. "A man in a suit? You let a stranger in to see an inmate without any kind of authorization? Are you kidding me?!"The guards exchanged worried glances. "He said he was from the Ministry of Justice," one of them stammered. "He had all the right documents. We thought he was legit!"Jasmine let out an exasperated sigh, pacing the small room like a caged tiger. "So, what did he look like? Did he have any distinguishing features?"The guards exchanged looks, searching their memories. "He was tall, maybe in his 40s," one guard said. "Had dark hair and wore glasses. But the thing I remember most was his tie. It had a strange pattern on it, almost like a cryptic code."Jasmine's eyes lit up at the mention of the tie. "A code, you say? That could be important. Did any of you catch his name?"The guards shook their heads, their nerves frayed."I think he introduced himself as Dr. Marks," one of them said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I could be w
Epic 68The bartender scrutinized the picture, his gaze lingering on John's face. "Yeah, I've seen him around. Usually comes in with some shady-looking guys. Real quiet, doesn't say much." He wiped the bar with a grimy towel, his eyes never leaving the photo. "But he hasn't been here in a while. What do you want with him?"Kyrian flashed his badge. "We're looking into his disappearance from prison. Anything you can tell us would be helpful."The bartender let out a low whistle. "Disappeared, huh?"Let's just say that if he disappeared, it's no surprise." The bartender leaned in, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Heard rumours that he's involved with some pretty dangerous people. Word is, he crossed the wrong guy and had to skip town."Jasmine exchanged a look with Kyrian. "Dangerous people, huh? Like who? What sort of 'wrong guy' are we talking about here?"The bartender shrugged, his expression impassive. "Can't say."All I know is, this place isn't somewhere you want
Epic 69With Jasmine's plan in motion, Kyrian and Timi decided to visit the Ministry of Justice the next day, hoping to gain more insight into this elusive 'Dr. Marks'.The next morning, the sun rose over the city, casting a golden light on the sprawling streets. As the city woke, Kyrian and Timi made their way to the imposing building that housed the Ministry of Justice. The sound of their shoes echoed on the marble floors as they walked through the hallway, their pace purposeful and measured. They approached the receptionist, who sat behind a polished wooden desk. She looked up from her paperwork, her expression guarded."How may I help you?" she asked, her voice pleasant yet professional.Kyrian flashed his badge, the metallic sheen catching the light. "Detectives Kyrian and Timi," he said, introducing himself and Timi. "We're investigating the disappearance of an inmate from State Prison Number 4, and we believe someone from your ministry might have visited him before his escape."
Epic 70"If they didn't want John alive," Kyrian continued, his pacing quickening, "then it means that whatever he knew was so damaging that they couldn't risk him talking. Maybe they realized that he was getting ready to talk. Or maybe they just didn't trust him anymore."Timi tilted his head, considering this theory. "So you're saying we need to figure out what John knew, but we also need to find out who wanted him dead."Jasmine crossed her arms, her face determined. "Right. "Let's work backwards," Jasmine said, leaning forward in her chair. "We know that John was meeting with someone named Victor. If Victor is connected to this mystery, he must have known what John was planning. Maybe he's the one who decided John had to go."Timi tapped a button on his keyboard, bringing up a screen of data. "If we're right about Victor, then we need to find him. His disappearance could be the key to understanding what happened to John."Kyrian nodded. "And don't forget about the tie knot."The t
Epic 71The Clubhouse Group's headquarters glinted in the late afternoon sun as the detectives approached. The lobby was opulent, with marble floors, high ceilings, and stunning artwork adorning the walls.As Timi approached the front desk, Jasmine and Kyrian took a moment to survey the space. It was clear that the Clubhouse Group was not only prosperous but also extremely image-conscious. Everything was impeccably maintained, from the immaculate reception area to the high-end furnishings.Timi exchanged a few polite words with the receptionist before turning to face his colleagues. Kyrian couldn't help but shake his head in wonder as he took in the grandiose surroundings. "Clubhouse Group? Sounds like a group of school kids in a treehouse," he muttered, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Yet here they are, owning a place like this."Jasmine, her mind already sifting through possible scenarios, cast a sideways glance at Kyrian. "Appearances can be deceiving. Remember, the Mob wasn't ju
Epic 72Jasmine took a deep breath, preparing herself for the mother's reaction. "Mrs. Smith, did John mention anything to you about what he was investigating? Or anyone he might have been worried about?"The woman shook her head, her eyes wet with tears. "No. I mean, he was always so busy, always working on some case or another. He never talked about work with me, not really. He didn't want to burden me with any of his worries."Kyrian's brows furrowed. "Mrs Smith, did John have a wife or girlfriend he might have confided in?" Kyrian asked, hoping to find a new lead.The woman's eyes flicked from one detective to another, searching their faces for answers. "He had a girlfriend, a very nice girl named Nadia. But I don't know if he would've told her anything. He always kept things close to the vest, even with her."Jasmine pursed her lips, thinking. "When was the last time you saw John?""Two weeks ago, he came to visit me, just before he...before he disappeared." Mrs. Smith's voice tr
