"We will have to work together if you want information on Lawton," Logan said.This upsets Barry as he assumes Logan is trying to take advantage of him.Logan could tell Barry was angry as he looked at him, he knew he had to do something to convince him to join hands with him."I want to bring Lawton down too and I need a strong accomplice like you," Logan said."We can work together to destroy him," Logan added.Barry's expression softened as he listened to Logan, everything was starting to make sense to him.He was happy Lawton was their common enemy and the idea of joining hands with the strange man in front of him didn't look so bad.Barry was about to ask Logan how they would go about it when he suddenly remembered he didn't know anything about him."How am I sure I can trust you?" He said."You might stab me in the back?" Barry added."You can trust me," Logan said."I don't have any reason to betray you," he added.Barry was sceptical, as he still didn't trust him."How about w
Logan walks out of Barry's office happily, excited he had finally achieved his goals.He then decided to talk to Amanda as he knew this was going to make Lawton angry.He walked into the reception and asked Clara where Amanda's office was.Clara was angry as she heard Logan talk, wondering why he needed to see her."She's in the cafeteria," she said, continuing her work."Thank you," Logan said, as he walked into the cafeteria.He met Amanda who was still eating and sat beside her as she smiled."You are still here?" Amanda said, looking at him."How did your meeting go with Barry?" She asked."It went really well," Logan said, smiling at her."You should eat something, the food here is really nice," Amanda said."Okay," Logan said, calling out to a waitress.He ordered food as the waitress walked up to him, before starting a conversation with Amanda.Logan had been away after the incident at the warehouse because he needed to keep a low profile.He couldn't risk anyone finding out it
The ride home was silent as Amanda looked out of the car's window as Barry drove her home.Barry stopped the car as they got to Amanda's house."We are here," he said, breaking the silence."Thank you," Amanda said, as she got out of the car."See you tomorrow," Barry said, waving at her before driving off.Amanda walked into her house and was about to bring out the key to the house when the door suddenly opened."Lawton," Amanda said, as the door opened."You are home early," she added, smiling before walking into the house."Yes, I finished early at work today," Lawton said."I wanted to surprise you," Lawton said, as Amanda sat down in the living room."Can you smell anything?" Lawton said, smiling."Smell what?" Amanda said, as she stood up and started to walk towards the dining area."You cooked?" Amanda said as she smiled at the array of dishes arranged on the dining table."What is the occasion?" She asked as she looked at him."There's no occasion," Lawton said, as he carefull
The leader of the other gang opened his box and smiled as he brought out one of the sealed white powder and sniffed it.The content of the box Barry had given the gang was hard drugs.Barry trades hard drugs as a side hustle, he started the business two years ago when he was in desperate need of funding for his business.Barry did not want to ask his family for money and this led him to the illegal business.He used the money he got from the deal to fund his business and although his company had grown so much and he didn't need the money anymore, he still continued as it was now a hobby to him."Nice doing business with you Black," the gang leader said as he walked up to Barry, pleased with the deal.Black was Barry's nickname as he does not review his face or real name whenever he makes deals.Barry had been making deals with the gang leader for months now and they were now pretty carefree with each other.Barry finished counting the bundle of money in the box and passed it over to o
Barry thought about Amanda as he sipped his drink.His mood suddenly changed as he thought of her.He wondered why it was so hard for her to leave Lawton and be with him."She's pushing me to do this," he said to himself."I don't want to hurt Lawton but I do not have a choice," he added, before gulping down his remaining drink.Barry walked into his room and laid down on his bed and soon fell asleep.Morning soon came, and Lawton and Amanda woke up to go to work.Amanda was still worried about Lawton's reaction yesterday and decided to keep a distance from Logan as Lawton's reaction always changes as soon as she mentions him."Good morning," Amanda said as she stood up from the bed."Good morning,' Lawton said, looking at her.He could tell she was upset by something but didn't know what."Are you okay?" Lawton said, as he stood up and walked up to her."I'm fine," Amanda said, looking away from him."You are not," Lawton said, looking at her."Please talk to me," he said."I think w
Unknown to Lawton, the bus that had pulled up in front of him was the gang leader's boss.The driver and the passenger of the bus were all members of the gang leader.Lawton looked around the bus and could tell something wasn't right as all the passengers were men and they all looked weird.Lawton started to feel uncomfortable as all the passengers stared at him.He then decided to get out of the bus."Please stop the car," Lawton said."I want to get down," he added.The driver ignored Lawton and this made Lawton scared.After a few weird exchanges between Lawton and the passengers, the bus suddenly stops at the side of the road and the passengers pounced on Lawton."Why are you all doing this?" Lawton yelled as they continued to punch him.He was defenseless and there was nothing he could do but shout as the men continued to beat him up.Lawton was beaten up so badly, that his eyes started to get blurry."It's okay," the driver of the boss stated firmly, as he looked back at Lawton.
"He's being attended to," the man said."Please take me to him," Amanda said.They then both walked towards a hospital room but were stopped as they were about to enter."Please wait here," a nurse said."You can't enter until the doctor is done attending to him," the nurse continued."You can sit here," she added, pointing towards a chair.The man sat down on the chair while Amanda continued to pace around.The doctor soon walked out of Lawton's room and Amanda immediately rushed towards him."How is my husband?" Amanda said."Is he fine?" She continued."He's fine," the doctor said."He was beaten up badly but he didn't suffer from any internal bleeding," he continued."We just treated his wound, he only needs to rest a bit," the doctor added."Thank you, doctor," Amanda said, sighing in relief."Please come with me, I need to have a word with you in my office," the doctor said."Ok doctor," Amanda said, as she followed him.The doctor and Amanda walked into his office together."Si
Amanda suddenly remembered how she left the office in an hurry and dialed Barry's number."I'm sorry I left in a hurry," Amanda said, as he picked up the call."I had to urgently attend to something," Amanda added."How is he?" Barry said.It was at that moment that Amanda realized Barry was infact the one behind Lawton's attack."How did you know about what happened to Lawton?" Amanda said.Barry lied about hearing it from one of his friends but Amanda could tell he was not speaking the truth."Bye," Amanda said, as she hung up the call.She had had enough of Barry, she couldn't believe he could attack Lawton again after how she slapped him the last.Amanda walked into Lawton's hospital room to see Lawton sitting up.She was happy he was finally able to sit up by himself as she sat beside him on the hospital bed.Amanda brought out the food she had bought for the both of them and fed some to Lawton."Thank you," Lawton said, as he looked at her.He could tell she was sad as Amanda lo
