"Well Cole, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Oscar " he raised his hands towards me, for a handshake....a handshake! But whatever, I took his hands.
"Okay, back to business.... " he retracted his hand.
"....tell me Cole, what were you and your crew doing in that warehouse? "
Was he talking about that abandoned building we were supposed to meet our supposed client. Wait!....was he the client we were supposed to meet?
"Cole! I asked a question " I felt my throat slowly getting dry again,
"We were supposed to meet a client there " I answered.
"What client? " he asked
"We were meant to deliver weapons to him and collect payment....... "
"And? "
"It was supposed to be a simple delivery.....just one simple transaction. But they double crossed us. Those bastard double crossed us " I spoke in whispers as I reminisce the event in my head. I felt my head began to throb due to the me
After Oscar dropped the bomb on me, he opt and left the dinning area leaving me to deal with the gravity of the revelation. Back at my holding room, I sat on my bed still holding the pictures and staring at the images as if staring at them much longer would make the images change. In the picture, Harry wore his favorite black leather biker jacket. It was the first thing I recognized. The jacket had a symbol of a hand with way too many fingers spreading out making it look like a tree. I remembered asking Harry what that symbol meant and him telling me in one word 'FREEDOM '. Thoughts keep roaming through my head as I fall into a very restless sleep, my exhaustion taking over completely. The next morning, I'm woken up by the same guard from yesterday. "I'm to get you ready for breakfast " he says simply and moves to pull up the cutains I didn't even realize was there in the first place. Come to think of it, it doesn't even feel like I'm a prisoner. I'm definitely not treated
"Cole! ""Cole?! ""Cupcake?! "His teammates caught up to him just as he rounded the corner where they were. They rushed to his side asking if he was okay, but he was too shaken to make out anything they were saying, so he just stared at them blankly.Oscar had timed the whole thing perfectly. He knew the time Cole's teammates would get to the nearest area closest to his hideout. He had watched their every step from the moment he had their location pinned. It was easier also to get Cole there since he was still in the shock phase.They hurriedly moved him to the car, worry evident in their tense bodies. They worried that something terrible might wrong with their friend.The ride back to the house was relatively fast. By the time they got to the house Nico was already there with a team of medics.Conny and Jeff were the first to come out of the car with Cole on their arms. They dragged a lifel
The rain can't seem to stop, it's been falling for almost three hours now. I need to get to the factory on time or I'll get scolded again and my pay for the day will be reduced and this rain won't just bear with me even if it's just for a little while for me to get to the factory. After what felt like an eternity, the rain finally stops and let's me walk the remaining distance to the factory. On seeing the gate of the factory I can't help but curse the rain for being so wicked, now I'll have to serve punishment for my lateness. Not that I mind the lateness, but come on.... my pay will be fucking reduced. That's what I have to put up with if I have any dream of surviving in this cruel world. I walk into the work section and the first person I meet is my best buddy, Harry. He has always been by my side for as long as I can rememb
I woke up to the sound of my alarm, ah I hate that thing, but it's what I need since I'm a heavy sleeper. I manage to get out of bed. After turning off the damn thing, I drag my lazy body to the bathroom to get myself prepared for the day. I got down the stairs to see my parents at the dinning table eating breakfast."good morning mum and dad" I say kissing both their cheeks. "good morning sweetheart" mum greets. "good morning son, trust you had a good night's rest"? dad replies"yes dad, I did""so, what are plans for today""uhm, I'm gonna meet up with some friends""are you guys gonna be studying"?"no dad, we're just gonna go out....you know, to the stadium""you know we've talked about this a about a hundred times. You need to mind the kind of friends you keep. Birds of the...... " "
"grrrh! grrrh!! grrrh!!! " My eyes shot open as the sound of that darn alarm. I wish there was a way to reduce the volume of the alarm, but then again it won't be called an alarm clock if it can't perform its function. I drag my lazy bones off the bed and quickly head to the bathroom to take my shower, I wouldn't want to be late to school since it's a Monday. After putting on my clothes, I head downstairs for breakfast. My parents were already out to their various offices so I had breakfast alone. After eating breakfast, I set out to school. I've taken a liking to walking therefore I walked the distance from my house to school. "grrrh! " There goes the bell signalling all students to head to their various classes. Ent
Getting to school the next day, I keep thinking about last night and the decision I made. I don't know if I made the right decision or not, all I know is I'm gonna keep enjoying my life to the fullest. 'grrrrrrrh!'There goes the signal for the commencement of classes. I have the feeling that this is going to be a long day, so I brace myself for the up coming boredom. During break, I meet up with my friends for lunch at our usual spot. "hey guys, what's up""Cole my man" Evan greets. "hey bro" Carl greets briefly before focusing on his lunch. Jason on the other hand just nods his head as a sign of his acknowledging my presence. Taking my seat beside Carl "so what are you guys up to""nothing much, just a little running around that's all" Jason speaks, a little too quickly. Which was weird.
Last night's party was a bang, I had so much fun. I enjoyed myself so much that I didn't bother to come home until the early hours of this morning. I knew my parents were going to give me a handful during breakfast, so I stayed in bed and slept in. After quite a while, I heard my parents car pull up from the driveway. Taking that as my cue, I get up from my bed and head to the kitchen to have my breakfast. Today's probably about to be the best day of my life because I remember my parents telling about some business trip this weekend. I couldn't be any happier, I'll have the whole weekend to myself -not to talk of the whole house. Taking out my phone, I called my friends to ask if they could come over to hang at my house today. They all agreed and settled for 1:30pm. Finishing my breakfast, I head to the bathroom to take my bath and i
I heard someone call my name from my sleep. Opening my eyes, I see Harry trying to drag me from my sorry excuse for a bed, muttering words that weren't clear to me."Get up you big baby_else we're gonna be late for work... and trust me when I say that is not how I plan to start a new week""Okay okay, I'm up " I get up from the bed yawning. I drag myself to the bathroom to take my bath. An habit that never died even after four years. After bathing and getting ready, we head out. We decided to branch by our favourite canteen to grab some sandwich for breakfast as we were going to be very busy to eat breakfast when we get to the factory. We got to the factory with fifteen minutes to spare_and that's a bonus. We look for a quiet spot to eat our breakfast, after which we started our work for the day.&nbs
