"Are you leaving already?" Peterson asked Leonard as he came out of the kitchen, he already had his luggage dropped in his car.
"Yes, Peterson! I have a lot of pending work left for me to handle and there aren't easy work," he said to him."Oh! I am sorry about that but you should have said something about it. I would have sent help that would help you out," he said with concern."No, it's nothing to be worried about! Totally!" He said to Peterson."I have to! I got you worried with my health and should do the same for you! Thanks so much for everything, Leonard! You don't know how excited I am that I found help at last. It wasn't easy to be kept in one place, you and Emily have done something pleasant for me," he said with gratitude."You are so welcome. I need to leave now," Leonard said to him."But why are you living alone? Does Emily know? Aren't both of you going to wherever you are going to?" He asked, looking confusShe stomped into the littlest room in the house and by far that room can contain fifty people sitting. "Grandpa!" Emily yelled as she opened the door like a brat. "Who is that?" Peterson asked, looking up from what he doing. "Oh Emily!" He simply uttered before turning back to what needs his attention. Emily stood at the door with her arms crossed across her bosom. "What do you want Emily?" He asked her after a while especting that she would have said something since she was the one who came to him. "What do I want? Why was I abandoned this morning? Everyone just left me as if I wasn't existing or in the same house with you all," she lamented. "What do you mean? You were asleep when everyone started their day. Would you have prefered to be woken up?" He asked her. She rolled her eyes as she realized that he had a point but she wasn't satisfied. "And where the hell is Leonard? I can't find him anywhere,"
"Shit! Just shit!" She uttered as she honked at the vehicles before her as she tried to maneuver her way and get to her destination at a much better time.She drove at high speed through the road that leads to most of the major roads especially the slumy area of this magnificent city, which was her destination route. She drove with annoyance and anger, what could have gone wrong kept appearing in her mind. She needed answers and the only way to get them was to get to his site as fast as possible.Just behind by two to three cars was a white SUV, who was trying to tail the unaware Stephanie.After blaring her way through, she took a sharp turn at the next available turning to escape the building traffic jam in the front.The driver in the white SUV drove with anticipation of wherever Stephanie was headed to, he looked to his left and right then ahead constantly to be sure of where he was. He was baffled and surprise as to why a renowned and famous engineer's granddaughter who is traine
"Stone, stop it!" The order came with a firm and unshaken voice. They all turned around to the voice and slowly separated from each other. Stephanie took a second to adjust herself and her cool before taking a deep breath then stomped off to Graham who was wheeled out by one of his men. Blinded by her anger, frustration and annoyance, she didn't see him on the wheelchair and just stomped towards him. "Graham, what is the meaning of all this?" She yelled as she approached him. "Did you order your goons, these idiots to treat me like trash? Because of what? What have I done to deserve that? Am I not a paying client? Or what the fuck is going on?" She yelled, looking around. "You had just one job, Graham! One job! And you couldn't execute it! What the fuck is going on with you?" She yelled at her. "Isn't your lungs hurt? Or what do you use to yell and scream? You scream like a pauper, just like the one two houses down," Stone
"Do I look like a joker to you? Do I look like one to you? I am no joker or comedian , I don't crack jokes. I kill people which brings me joy, kill, kidnap, abduct and torture or torment people. And I tell you, I just told you a fact, Miss!" He said to her, innocently."What? That's a lie! That all brags and nothing. Reporters and cameramen are everywhere in front of my grandfather's gate. I barely got out this morning when coming here!" Stephanie said to him with disbelief."Stone, bring me Steve!" He ordered Stone, who glared at Stephanie before walking away. "What is wrong with this guy? I don't even know and this just happened to be the first time we are seeing each other. How can he be so hostile to me?" She said aloud, staring at his moving figure.There was silence as everyone waited for Stone and Steve, it was extremely awkward."And who is this guy that mean guy has gone to bring?" She asked Graham as she looked down to him."One of the guys I took with me on the job," he si
"She was the one who ordered the job! Yes, sir! And if you go through what I sent you, the initial place that the young guy was shot was at Sir Peterson's villa. How the news got to your place, sir, is still a mystery!" The driver in the white SUV said on the phone. "Where is she currently?" Lenon, who was on the other side of the phone, asked him. "Well, she just walked out the house, stomping to her car in rage," he explained to him. "I think she is not done for the day yet, follow her around until she drives into the house back and ensure you record right. The first recorded video you sent was a total bullshit before you got it right. Ensure that doesn't happen again. And send me the address of that young man, maybe a meeting with him will do," he instructed him. "Yes, sir! I will put that into work!" The young man said on the phone with a little bow before walking back to his car. Stephanie was ahead of him as he wanted, he looked around before driving out. "
She drove straight to Forklam Avenue, about a mile away from her place, Berkeley Hills. There was quite a distance between them. She drove with rage and annoyance. She has been pissed from morning when she just woke up to now which was almost noon time. Immediately she left Graham, she had gone to a restaurant to arrange her thoughts and emotions, have a breakfast then processed what's next to do. She could believe she spent more than an hour at Graham's hideout. That's sick, she thought to herself.Out of all her problems, only one has been solved. A spontaneous meal that was needed and she got a large delicious meal at the high end restaurant. There was only one name on her mind and she was going to deal with or face them to enquire what the duck were they thinking? As she thought about it, the angrier she got. She just lost a shot at getting Leonard and according to what Graham told her she had to pay another fee to secure his service and she wasn't ready for t
She slowly drove through the muddy parts of the road before parking by the side of the road. She alighted and had a very visible expression of anger on her face. She was still frustrated from this morning, hoping to get the person who caused this frustration. She looked around before taking the parts that had footprints and leading into the woods. She packed her hair into a ponytail and she kicked some dust before her as she commenced her walk into the woods. She was dressed in an off white tracksuit and gray trainers with a tint of pink. But far in the distance a shadow watched her as approached the large trees that were beginning to build up. The shadow sat on one of the tree's bark, watching silently as it played with a gun like object. Her phone rang and she hissed loudly in frustration as she hurriedly picked it. "You are disturbing the peace of this calm environment. What is it?" She said into the phone. "Where are you?" The pe
Suddenly the door opened with a creaking sound, loud and piercing. With it came an eerie feel as Emily felt a cold sensation all over her body and her hair flying like she was in the wind. She froze as she started hearing an indescribable sound, getting louder as the second went. Her hand was close to her phone when she slowly turned her hand towards the direction of the door, hoping to see nothing and all this was just her imagination. The door was opened, which was confusing because she knew the door was closed initially. There wasn't anyone in the doorway as she could see the clearing before the hut. Just as she was about to turn her head back she saw a figure appear out of nowhere, before her in all black. It was a shadow without a face or arms or legs. A smokey kind of shadow, a black ghost and immediately she let out a piercing scream with her eyes closed. She opened her eyes to see that the figure had gone, without thinking she was out of the hut
