Scott stepped out of the compound and now found himself in the deserted street. The whole place was dimly lit, and the only source of light was the single street light by the corner of the street.Scott tucked his hands into his pocket as he began to walk forward.BEEP" BEEP" BEEP"While Scott walked through the street he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket which made him pull it out and glanced at the screen to see who the caller was.It was Theo Lahey.Scott glanced at the phone for a few seconds before answering it."Good evening, Theo Lahey." Scott greeted after answering the call."What do you take me for, Scott? A fucking joke?" Theo's voice sounded over the phone in anger. "You think I'm joking, right? I am a fucking clown to you, eh?" He added."Relax, Theo, something important came up that's why I couldn't make it." Scott informed."Something important my ass. You realize I have Tori in my custody, right? And I can kill her now that you disobeyed my orders!" Theo reported.
"The only person that took me under his wings and protected me was killed during the annual gang meeting. He was among those leaders who ate poison and died. With him being dead, I have no one to rely on. And I'm scared of the hunter coming after me. I need someone to protect me from his wrath." Theo spoke audibly while Scott sat there attentively."And what does this got to do with me?" Scott raised a question."I know you will soon get married to the daughter of Mr. Fernando. I didn't believe it at first until Tori confirmed it. If you should get married into his family you should be able to convince him to take my gang under his wings and give us protection." Theo responded."Now, what would make you think I would be in any position to make demands when I marry Caroline? I will only become his son in-law and not someone with worth that is capable of making such demands." Scott voiced out.Theo sighed as he puffed out smoke from his mouth before stating, "You know, Scott, there has
"What I am trying to say is that no matter how many people you have that's protecting you, once you're a target you will surely be dead. The Hunter could easily get to one of your trusted member and brainwash them, making them turn against you and help him carry out his dirty business." Scott added.Theo sat there in silence, his whole suit was now drenched in his own sweat and a look of contemplation evident on his face."Is there a way for me to escape?" Theo inquired shakily."The only way to avoid getting killed by the Hunter is if you kill yourself before he finds you." Scott affirmed, causing Theo's eyes to widen in shock."You're fucking kidding me, right?" Theo blurted out."Nope. Unfortunately I am not kidding you,y friend. You choose to die brutally by hands of the hunter, or die peacefully however you choose. It's your choice. I recommend drowning. It's much more reliable than poisoning." Scott remarked without a smirk.Theo's face became bright red in anger after catching
Scott kept walking down the street until he finally arrived at a shopping mall. He decided to buy a brand new suit for his wedding since the last one got destroyed during his fight on the rooftop.BEEP"Scott's phone beeped in his pocket which made him halt his step and brought out the phone to see the message. Catching sight of the message he had just received, Scott's eyes widened in disbelief.(Credit alert: $1,000,000)Scott glanced at the notification with a slight look of disbelief. At first he thought it was Sandro sending him the company's profit share as usual, but when he caught sight of the name of the sender his eyes widened."Mr. Malcolm Fernando?" Scott mused. "I remember he requested for my account details and promised to send me a compensation money. I can't believe he sent me one million dollars just for compensation." Scott pondered.Scott assumed Mr. Fernando would send him a maximum of one thousand dollars and a minimum of five hundred dollars when he requested for
The lady picked up the card and swipped it on the machine and asked Scott to input his pin which he did. The lady secretly prayed that the card gets declined so she could have an opportunity to disgrace Scott.However, her prayers weren't answered. The transaction was completed. The lady frowned and when attempted to pull out Scott's card from the machine, she caught a glimpse of his account balance which made her gulped down saliva.The amount was something she has never seen before. The zeros and commas behind it just kept going on and on and it seemed like it had no end."Just who is this man?" She pondered internally with he gaze fixated on Scott who stood there with an expressionless look evident on his face.Scott noticed the way the lady was glancing at him and he raised a question."Is everything okay, Miss?" Scott inquired."Ah, yes, everything's fine, sir." The lady affirmed as she placed the bags on the counter in front of Scott.A puzzled expression appeared on Scott's fac
"TONIA, GET DOWN!" Scott shouted as he ducked low.BANG"The sound of gunshot reverberated throughout the area as Angelo pulled the trigger. To his greatest surprise, he missed his target which was Scott. Scott was quick enough to duck low before he could pull the trigger and dodged it.Tonia, on the other hand, wasn't fast enough."Tonia?" Scott muttered with his heart racing and his gaze fixed on Tonia's chest. Blood could be seen gushing out of her chest like water.The bullet Scott dodged successfully ended up hitting Tonia's chest.Tonia stood there motionless, her eyes teary and filled with pains but she was unable to scream. After standing for a few seconds she finally fell down on the floor."SOMEONE CALL A FUCKING AMBULANCE!" Scott voiced out as he knelt down beside Tonia.Angelo stood there motionless for a few moments after realizing he had just shot Tonia instead of Scott."What the hell, man? You were supposed to shoot him and not her!" Gary stepped out of hiding and scol
"Search every single corner of this particular area. Whoever shot her might still be around..hiding somewhere and waiting for us to leave."The officers saluted before dashing away to begin their search.Jordan stood on the same spot for a few moments before entering his car and shut the door.BEEP" BEEP"Jordan heard his phone ringing and he brought it out and answered it."Hello, Perez?" Jordan said after answering the call."Jordan, thank God. I've been trying to contact Chief Jim but he already left to go see Robby in his college and his phone is not reachable." Perez's voice sounded over the phone."What's the matter?" Jordan inquired after sensing the tension in Perez's voice."Bad news. Our scouts just spotted a convoy of Special Force's vehicle. They are heading into our city as well speak." Perez informed in a serious tone."What?" Jordan blurted out in shock. "Are you sure?""Yeah, I am. The scouts sent me photos. It's definitely the Special force." Perez affirmed.Jordan sa
Mayor Campbell pulled Scott closer before slamming him heavily against the wall, causing him to groan in pain."You caused this! This is your fault!" Mayor Campbell retorted as he kept slamming Scott against the wall furiously, and the men and women that came with him just stood there and watch.Scott chose the accept the treatment he got from the mayor because he understood the situation perfectly. Mayor Campbell didn't care about Tonia ever since he was born, and right now he was joyful that Tonia was now struggling for her life and might not make it out alive.But, Mayor Campbell knew that if the public was aware about the fact that he hated his own daughter things could get ugly for him, that's why he decided to put on an act and pretend like he cares. Deep down he as praying Tonia dies... at least it would save him the stress of killing her himself."Sir, you need to relax." Scott finally spoke up after realizing Mayor Campbell wasn't ready to stop anytime soon."Shut up, you blo
