"Yes, Scott, we are getting married." Tory informed, joy evident in her voice as she stretched her hand towards Scott, making him catch a glimpse of an expensive diamond ring on her finger.Scott became speechless. The whole thing was too sudden for him.He still doesn't know who this Theo dude was or if he could be trusted, so he felt troubled realizing his bestfriend was getting married to a liar.'This man definitely knows who i am.' Scott pondered, glaring at Theo who was busy talking and laughing with Theo.Each time Scott wanted to make a transfer to the hospital to pay Tory's mother's bills, he calls Sandro to inform the accountant to send a certain amount.'It's either Sandro or someone from the company informed Theo, and now he's here on an agenda that i have no clue what it is.' Scott pondered.Only few people in the company knows about the transfers, and that was his right hand man, Sandro Walker, and the accounting department. Scott has never saw Scott in his whole life,
Somewhere in the city, the city's hospital was located.The hospital's exterior is a blend of modern architecture and classic design, with towering glass walls reflecting the city skyline. The entrance is adorned with a canopy of soft, warm light, guiding both patients and visitors. Ambulance lights cast flashes of red and white across the entrance, emphasizing urgency.Inside, the spacious lobby exudes tranquility, with comfortable seating and soothing artwork on the walls. The hum of activity is palpable as nurses, clad in pristine white uniforms, move with practiced grace. The soft glow from computer screens illuminates their faces as they coordinate patient care.From a distance, you can spot dedicated medical professionals working in different departments through the windows – from the busy emergency room to the serene patient rooms. The night air carries a mix of antiseptic smells and distant city sounds, creating a unique atmosphere that signifies both healing and resilience.I
The hospital's reception fell silent after hearing Jordan's explanation, until Perez broke the silence with a question."What do you mean set her up? If thet are working together, why would he want to set her up?" Perez questioned, standing infront of the duo with his two arms folded."Okay, here's my theory. Everyone knows that girl, Marie, lives in the small corner of Sunshade sreeet. No one has ever made a complain about her about her being violent or disappearing for some days." Jordan spoke in an aubible tone."But recently, a thug was killed in the corner she lived in and she went missing thesame day the blood was found. What i'm saying is, what if she isn't the one who actually killed the thug, but just happened to be there at that time?""The main killer must have panicked that if he should leave without her, she would definitely go to the cop to report since she witnessed everything and also saw his face. So he had no choice than to take her along.""And later on, when the ma
Scott took a cab that took him straight to the hospital. The time was 11:24pm, almost time for gangs to start roaming about, so he made sure his movements were quick and swift to avoid any gang member.After several minutes of driving, the cab finally pulled over infront of the huge hospital and he ailighted it and payed the bills. He advanced forward and headed straight to the entrance door, but halted his steps as he thought.'What if the cops are stil in there?' Scott pondered, glancing around the quiet compound until he spotted a single cop car there. 'Hmm..a single car, meaning there is either one or two officers in there.' Scott intoned, pushing the door open as he stepped in and found himself in the lobby.'There's nothing to be worried about. Even if the cops sees me, they can't tell i'm somehow involved in the case they are currently working on.' Scott pondered as he walked towards a counter where a lady could be seen sitting behind.The lady looked to be in her early twenti
Scott gulped after hearing Jordan's words. He had expected Marie to be the type of girl with no background and anyone would believe anything he made up, but it turns out Marie has quite the record, and Jordan already got hold of the record."Oh, that's because Marie's mother divorced my father when Marie was still a young child, so it's possible her mother erased everytying about my dad from her life, that's why it's not stated in the record." Scott replied, trying hard to hide his tensed expression.Jordan remained in silence, rubbing his chin in contemplation. "Well, you are still her brother, and i'm truly sorry for shooting her." Jordan apologized once more."It's fine, don't worry. Marie is a strong girl, she'll definitely pull through." Scott assured with a slight smile.The duo rested their backs on the wall, their arms folded, and their heads facing the ceiling in silence. Scott was looking for a way to ask about the investigation without being too obvious, but all his thought
Being asked to come over in short notice came as a surprise to Scott. Even if he already cracked thr case and got evidence, he didn't expect Mr. Fernando to invite him over so soon.He gave him 10 days to figure it out and it's barely even day three."Oh, yeah, i'll be there." Scott muttered resentfully before hanging up and tossing his phone to his bed.'I wonder what's happening in 10stars hotel tomorrow that he needs me there. Did he plan on humiliating me infront of his whole family and friends, and maybe infront of other wealthy men in the hotel?' Scott pondered as he couldn't quite grasp what was going on.He didn't thinl about it too much as he laid down on his bed and slept off instantly due to how exhausted he was.***The morning sun rose up, and the rays flicked in through the windows and shone brightly into the eyes of Scott.Scott's eyelids began to lift open as he rose up sluggishly and let out a loud yawn while stretching his body. Even if Scott had a lot going on in his
"What the hell is Domingo doing? We get he's angry, but why resort to actual violence?"A female worker muttered in surprise. It was okay to insult Scott and call him names, but strange if he gets beaten up."I think that trash deserves it. Who is he to talk back at Domingo?"A man with no hair on his head uttered gleefully as he watched Domingo charged towards Scott with clenched fists."I will teach you bastard a valuable lesson!" Domingo roared in anger, pulling his right arm backwards and punching his fists forward towards Scott's head.The fist traveled towards his head at incredible speed due to the force applied to it while punching it out. In the last second, Scott moved his head slightly, and Domingo's fist missed him by hair length.Thr fist kept traveling forward due to the immense force behind it, giving Scott the opportunity to clench his fist and send out a punch of his own."Argh!" Domingo groaned in pain as Scott's fist slammed heavily on his right cheek, and the forc
Offending a Black Mountain member is like offending Ramous Stormbreaker himself. The gang was just like a family. It feels link they are linked with eachother.That was what feared Scott the most.If Ramous Stormbreaker should come at him, he would be left with no other choice than to fight with everything he got. And that would mean him revealing his true identity, and he wasn't ready to do just that."Domingo struck first, not me." Scott muttered with a tensed expression."Look, these gangs don't want to know who striked first. As far as you laid a finger on their member, they would come after you. Why do yoi think the cops are hell bent of finding the strange man that has been killing gang members these past few days?"Simon was worried for his friend, but he couldn't stop himself from pointing out facts. Hearing Simon's words, Scott once tensed expression vanished and replaced with a surprised expression."What do you mean gang killer?" Scott questioned in curiousity.Simon gave
In the footage, Scott could be seen sitting on a sofa, and opposite him was Wombat. They were currently in a living room, and Mr. Fernando knew exactly where they were because he had been there before.They were currently talking about how to snatch the weapons from the ship that was supposed to deliver it, and then bring it back to the territory.Mr. Fernando's blood boiled as he watched the clip, and his face was bright red in anger. Even Bolasco who stood by his side had a look of disbelief on his face. He couldn't believe what he was watching right now.At first, he thought Nadine was lying and Scott didn't do what she was accusing him of doing, but with the footage in front of him he realized she was telling the truth."I know how hard this must be for you because you trusted Scott and treated him like a son, but I hope this will teach you a lesson and make you realize you can't trust anyone. As long as you are in this line of business you shouldn't trust anyone but yourself. If
Hearing the name the man said, Mr. Fernando found it familiar, but he couldn't quite remember where he heard it from."Did she say what she wanted?" He asked, and the man shook his head."Alright then. Send her in." Mr. Fernando ordered.The man nodded before turning around and walked out of the living room. A few moments after he left, the door opened again and Nadine walked inside.Catching sight of Nadine, Bolasco pulled out his pistol and pointed it towards her head, his finger on the trigger, ready to shoot."Relax, will you? I am not here to fight." Nadine stated with her two hands in the air and a sign of peace."Oh yeah? You made a big mistake coming to our territory alone and unarmed. After what your boss did, give me one reason why I shouldn't blow your brains out right here and now?" Bolasco spat, his pistol still pointed towards Nadine's head."I know you all have been wondering about how Wombat knew about the weapons and also your plan. I know you are also suspecting that
Bolasco and his men escaped from the island though a ship that was already prepared for them by Dave and his boys. They crashed in a hotel that night, and when the next morning arrived they swiftly went to the tarmac where their aircrafts was and they all entered it one by one.The engines were starter and the aircrafts drove through the runway until it finally took off and began to head to Spain.None of them talked about what happened last night, and none of them mentioned anything about Scott. They all acted like nothing happened as they headed back home."""Several hours later, the aircraft landed on the tarmac in Spain, and they all stepped outside and walked towards the car waiting for them a few meters away.They got into the car and drove off instantly, and after what seemed like forever they finally pulled over in front of the mansion."You all are free to leave now. I'll go in and discuss with Mr. Fernando about all that happened during the mission." Bolasco said.The comra
Loud panting sounds could be heard as Scott sat there upside down in the car. Bolasco had just abandoned him and fled with the rest of his comrades, but for some reason Scott wasn't shocked by the fact that it happened. It was almost like he expected it to happen.That's how the current world works.People will do whatever they can to survive, even though it means sacrificing someone close to them, be it friends, family, or co-workers.Scott struggled to come out of the car, but he was stuck, and no matter how hard he tried to move he just couldn't.As he was busy struggling, he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching him. Scott glanced out of the window and saw the Sheriff and other officers walking towards the car.When they arrived beside it they bent down and glanced inside."Well, what do we have here?" The Sheriff stated as he pulled out his pistol and cocked it. Scott thought he was going to get shot after watching the sheriff cocked the gun, but instead he pointed it to the
BOOOOOM!!Explosion sound reverberated throughout the place as two cop cars exploded after crashing. Bolasco didn't relent as he kept firing, aiming to get rid of every single one of them.The rest of the Police cars kept driving zigzag to make it difficult for Bolasco to aim."Keep driving, Matt." The sheriff said as he turned around and grabbed a bazooka from the passenger's seat."Are you sure it's okay to use that? Wouldn't it be too extreme?" The driver asked after noticing the bazooka in the sheriff's hand."Those scumbags killed sheriff Joe, and they just killed four of our comrades. I already gave them the opportunity to turn themselves in but they have chosen the hard way." The sheriff bellowed as he loaded the bazooka and placed it on his right shoulder."Just be careful. That guy has a submachine gun." Matt warned."Get me closer to them." The sheriff ordered, and Matt nodded before hitting the accelerator, and the speed at which the car moved increased.The sheriff pushed
Scott and Mr. Fernando's men stepped out into the heavy rain, and they swiftly made their way to their cars. They pulled the doors open and stepped inside before shutting the door."Let's get the hell out of here." Bolasco said as he started the engine of the car. "We can't fly back home because of the storm, so we'll have to find a hotel outside this island. We will pass the night there, and when the storm comes and it's no longer raining we'll begin our journey." Bolasco spoke in a commanding tone before driving away, and the remaining cars followed after.They drove through the island under the heavy rain. The place was quiet, and the only sounds that could be heard was that of the cars driving and rain hitting the roofs."Dave mentioned something about this place crawling with cops but for some reason we haven't seen a single cop ever since we arrived." Scott spoke up after a few moments of silence."You are right. I also find it strange. But as long as we haven't gotten into any
They all got out of their cars and glanced at the church directly in front of them. The building of the church wasn't that grand. The exterior of the building was rough, and just like the rest of the buildings on the island it wasn't painted. A bell tower could also be seen beside the building."Alright, boys. Just remember, they are fucking insane.. and dangerous." Bolasco spoke softly as he placed a cigarette in his mouth and lit it up. "I've told you all what Dave said, so let's just sell this damn opium and get the hell out of here." He added as he puffed out smoke before advancing forward, Scott walking beside him, and the rest of the men were behind.Bolasco pushed the entrance door open and they all stepped inside.The church was filled with wooden chairs. The chairs were arranged in neat rolls, and the statue of holy mary could be seen by the altar. As they scanned the church they caught sight of a group of individuals standing several meters away."There they are. Come on." B
The aircraft landed on a tarmac after what seemed like forever. The doors of the aircrafts were opened and the gangsters stepped outside majestically.There were already three black limousines and four sports cars waiting for them a few meters away, and a group of men in black suits could be seen standing beside the cars."Wait here." Bolasco said to his comrades before shifting his gaze towards Scott. "Come on." He said, and the duo began to advance forward.They walked towards the men standing beside the cars, and when they arrived in front of them they came to a halt."What's good, Dave man?" Bolasco spoke as he made a fist bump with one of the men among the group. The man was clad in a black suit, had a low taper fade, and a bushy beard. His neck was covered in tattoos, and his fingers were filled with gold and silver rings."We've been expecting you, Bolasco. Where is Mr. Fernando?" Dave asked, his voice deep and matured."He has some more important things to do so he couldn't ma
The eyes of Zhang Yang widened in shock and he swifly got off the bed. "What are you talking about, Wang Jian ? Answer me! What the fuck are you talking about?" Zhang Yang voiced out, his voice laced with anger and disbelief.The words of Zhang woke up the woman lying down on the bed, and she sat upright, using the blanket to cover her naked body."Your father traveled to Spain to sell Opium to a certain gang Lord. Things didn't go exactly as planned and a fight broke up and your father was shot." Wang Jian explained over the phone.Zhang Yang staggered backwards after hearing those words, and he also lost balance but he tried his best not to fall."You know the tradition, Zhang. Anyone who sheds the blood of the person sitting on throne will automatically take over throne. The man who killed your father has been elected to be the new boss of the gang. That's why I am calling you tonight, Zhang Yang, to inform you about this." Wang Jian spoke further."No, no, no, no, it can't be! My
