***Ms. Turner who was still Miriam’s secretary was returning from work. Her shoulders sagged with exhaustion and her body was weighed down by the toll of her long work hours.The fact that Miriam was on a break made life a little easier for her at work. She hated having a boss and more so a woman like Miriam as her boss. There was something about Miriam that just made her reek of hatred for her.The sound of rain drumming on the roof was very loud and the air was damp and heavy. The ground was saturated and puddles were forming on the floor. She was lucky that she had the rain had not started much earlier but it was when she had almost gotten to her home that the rain started pouring heavily.Suddenly, the unmistakable sound of her phone ringing jarred her into action as she dived her hand into her bag to pick it up. “Very good job so far, Ms. Turner,” a voice spoke through the phone.Ms. Turner knew at once that it was a receiver. Ms. Turner took cover under a large tree which offe
Damnit! She shrieked.It was Paul - her boss.Her mind was racing with a deadly rhythm of fear and her heartbeat was a drumbeat of panic.“Hello, hello, Ms. Turner, are you still there?” the receiver’s voice from the phone which had fallen to the ground erupted into the air.“Hello, hello, hello.”The line soon disconnected after a few unanswered hellos.Paul gestured menacingly with sharp and aggressive dark eyes, his hand slicing through the air in command for her to use her feet to toss the phone over.Ms. Turner’s brain was refusing to accept the reality of what she was seeing and her emotions were a river of fear and confusion. What was her boss looking for in her house pointing a gun toward her? What the hell was happening? What does he know? Did he know that she was an undercover employee? Did he already know that she was a member of Kazitanis?Ms. Turner’s mind was filled with unanswered questions.But she took a deep breath trying to contain her fear. Perhaps there was some
Paul knew that the moment he left, Ms. Turner was going to call the Kazitanis and inform her of his whereabouts since she had now told him the address.With a sudden burst, he slammed the phone on the ground and used his boots to crush it into pieces before picking up the SIM card. Paul retracted his gun into its place before he strode toward the door, his footsteps echoing.“You forgot to give Ghizzy his medicine,” Ms. Turner said, her words tumbling out in a rush as she pleaded. “Please don't go without giving my pet dog his medicine. He would die.”Ms. Turner’s gaze was going back and forth on tension as she took a glance towards the corner where her dog lay undisturbed and unresponsive to stimuli.“Oh, I didn't forget Ms. Turner. Just that—-” Paul’s brain hitched as if he recollected an idea.“Instead of allowing your dog to die, I will go with her. She seems cute,” Paul said with his tone measured with slight mockery before walking over to where the dog lay motionless.The dog w
***Rows of cargo trucks stretched out were seen by Paul as he found that there was barely anyone there. Towering cranes loomed over some of the trucks in a sublime precision.It seemed like the customs who would usually protect the terminal had left for the Kazitanis to come and pick up the cargo trains that had been contaminated.Paul’s gaze darted to and fro as he looked to make sure that no one was looking at him. He needed to find out the trains that had the Imperial Society products. He knew that they would be covered in the Imperial Society Logo and he knew what kind of trains they used for transportation so he sharpened his eyes. He had to be as precise and quick as possible - the Kazitanis could come in any moment if they had not already even come and take the trucks.Paul scanned the terminal, his mind racing as he wondered if he had missed out on the trucks.He moved with the swiftness of a mouse and his feet moved with a rapid shuffle, jerking his head from side to side
The conversation was one of mockery and disdain as the words made their way into Paul’s ears. The Kazitanis were approaching closer and closer this time.Paul’s ears picked up the unmistakable sound of weaponry in the distance and the noise sent a shiver down his spine. Paul’s senses were on high alert and he knew that it was war that was coming for him.Paul’s mind was a whirlwind of competing ideas, each one vying for his attention as his thoughts were jumbled up. Should he dart towards the driver’s wheel area and forcefully drive the vehicle out of the terminal? How was he even going to do that as quickly as possible without getting a host of gunshots in his direction - and that was even if he was quick enough? Driving the truck away from the terminal with the very limited time that he had was even very risky because there were many other trucks around there which was always going to be very difficult to navigate through until he was able to get out. It would take at least 5 min
“Man, we were all here when I closed it. You were there too so I don't get why you are still asking me about this,” Boarus responded.“Why wouldn't I ask you? You were the one who locked it. How am I supposed to know if you were careless or not?”“Do you think I am like you who would do things recklessly? Don't think I don't know about the instructions that were given to you that you didn't do,” Boarus spoke, raising an eyebrow and tilting his head as his tone was implying a challenge to the original accusation of him being careless about the padlock.Upalima’s face flushed red with anger as he vehemently as he vehemently denied the allegation. “What the hell are you talking about? Are you stupid? Are you crazy? Why the hell would I be given an instruction and I wouldn't obey.”“Do you know how long I have been working with Kazitanis? You are just a little boy who only started knowing the ways we follow a few months ago and now you think that you can stand up face-to-face with me?”Up
Both Upalima and Boarus’ bodies fell with a silent and violent scatter of destruction, their skull erupting with a violent burst as blood splattered all over the floor.Their bodies lay motionless and still. They were unresponsive as they lay on the ground and their lips slacked in absolute lifelessness.Zilinzky’s breath hitched with a horrified gasp of shock as he turned his gaze toward Hoestes who had shot the gun.“Come on, man. Let's get in. There is no need to worry about these blokes. They deserved what they got,” Hoestes spoke, his tone cut with a sharp edge of unrepentance.Zilinzky heaved a sigh that suggested that he agreed with what Hoestes said. “Alright, let’s get in,” Zilinzky responded.***Dynasty Medical Institute was a big building beaming with a white facade radiating with a sense of efficiency. The hallways were bright and airy and the walls were adorned with accolades and research papers. The rooms were filled with the hum of medical equipment.Camille had been
Camille wasn't going to back down though. She wanted to administer judgment and that was exactly what she was going to do.“Well, as delicate as this situation which has put the whole medical institute in is, what I find totally unacceptable is the fact that your negligence comes from a place of very reckless and stupid decisions.”Ms. Selena’s lips pressed into a tight line as a storm of rage built within her. She better not talk about Morris.“We conducted some investigation both in the doctorate department and outside of it. We found out that you were not in the right state of mind when you were administering the injection,” Camille said.“What do you mean by that Miss?” Ms. Selena spoke, her lips curled in a manner that seemed like she was offended. It was the first time that Ms. Selena had made a full statement sing she got into Camille’s office.“Oh, I think you know about it. You can't tell me that you are not aware. You have been in a relationship with a member of the physioth
