Zilinzky’s breath trembled and he shuddered as he tried to answer the question. He didn't know how to tell the receiver that it was actually only two of them that were against Paul Leonard.“I tried to convince Hoestes to stop the vehicle so that we could do a proper check because we heard a phone ringing from amid the cargo products but he was more in a hurry to get the products across the border. We knew how important the operation was and that was why we were in a haste.”“Oh, I doubt you know anything about the importance of the operation. I really doubt it because you were given a clue. You all heard the sound of a ring tone and yet you thought, ‘Oh, it was probably a little bird singing a nursery rhyme.’ Isn't it?”The receiver’s voice was laced with fury.“You are all four and none of you could use your discretion. Now, you all lost to him and you have the guts to tell me that Hoestes is dead as if I should have any concern or pity for him. You really don't know what it means t
He knew that they were definitely going to humiliate him if they caught him. He was their greatest enemy and catching him meant that they would have a feast of celebration.He took a good view of the agents from the tight spot where he was hiding between the truck tires and found out that the agents that were sent this time were ones that he had never seen before. One of the agents spoke in a loud voice, his tone tinged with ridicule and a sarcastic sneer. “Or am I not right, Paul Leonard? You are here, aren't you? Why don't you show your face? Or are you going to keep hiding like a scared little child?”The agent spoke, trying to provoke Paul into making the mistake of revealing himself. The three men who were sent by the Kazitanis were much higher in rank than the ones that they sent for the first truck.One of the men alone had completed many operations and killed many people. They were also heavily armed with guns, knives, and even grenades.The agent’s voice was laced with sarca
He turned another glance at the area and saw that the place was no longer safe. One of the agents was creeping around that place and ready to devour him.Perhaps he was really covered, he thought. The best thing for him to do was surrender to the agents and then perhaps he could plot an escape.He had accessed the agents and he saw that it was going to be very difficult to take them on in combat. Also, he was very weak from the tussle and crash that he had when he was trying to burn down the first truck. He had had enough for one day and perhaps it was time for him to show his face.Paul soon emerged from hiding with slow and cautious steps, his hands held high above his head in a gesture of surrender as he invited the events to come to get him.He turned his glance towards the truck that he had set on fire and heaved a sigh of relief that he had completely burnt the contaminated cargo products.Getting arrested was only going to be a small price to pay to have saved the world, he re
Rosette had lost hope. She lowered her head in dejection because she saw how insistent the men were. They had been very clear that they were not going to release her until they made progress with getting the trucks across the border.Koffi then lessened his aggressiveness, his muscles releasing their effort as he brought out candy from his pocket. “Here, take this candy. You can have this for then a in time until we get more information as to what to do with you.”Rosette immediately latched on to the candy that was thrown toward her as she quickly used her teeth to devour it even though her limbs were tied.Vanessa, Koffi, and Djene maintained a rigid discipline, their expressions impassive as they tried to control their impatience.Their eyes were focused and their minds alert as they waited for orders and new instructions as to whether they could free Rosette and return to base but Vanessa was already thinking that the delay could only mean that there were some complications in the
Mr. Ferguson was screaming into the empty air because even though the video call was connected, there was no one he could see. It was all dark and he assumed that Rosette’s kidnappers did that to scare her.“Hey! Who is there? Why don’t you take me instead? I will surrender myself to you. I am the one you need so why don't you take me instead of her.”“Do not release me until I have given you what it is that you want even though I have already done everything that you asked of me.”Mr. Ferguson’s voice was filled with unbearable pain. He had not been able to even think properly since his daughter, Rosette was kidnapped. Suddenly, Rosette’s face materialized on the screen her face popping into view with a sudden appearance after she had been propelled by Vanessa.“Hey, hey, Rosette, speak to me. What are they telling you? What have they done to you?”Mr. Ferguson’s voice was trampled upon by Rosette’s wailing as she spoke very fast in an attempt to relay the information that she had b
“What are you talking about Vanessa? We are not hearing anything. It's probably just in your mind.”Vanessa froze, her hands poised in mid-air as she tried to a better idea of where the sound was coming from, her face a mask of alertness and caution.But the strange sound soon wore out and she heard nothing again. “Oh, perhaps it's nothing anyway. I thought I heard something,” she said.Koffi and Djene’s face were contorted with a smirk.“Try to get some rest okay? You probably need a little bit of rest and that is why you are hearing strange things. It happens sometimes,” Djene spoke, his voice tinged with a piece of mockery.Djene and Koffi, who were stunned by the news about what Paul did to the Kazitanis agents kept them talking quietly to each other.“I can only wish that when we finally get Paul Leonard in our custody, I will be there when he gets to be tortured. I can't wait to see that happen and if I can participate in the torturing, that would be even much more blissful,” Ko
Djene, not ready to give up so easily gathered all his strength into his legs and exerted enough pressure to swing his legs towards Miriam’s rib area but it was as if his legs were suspended in the air as Miriam used her hands to grab Djene’s legs before twisting his bones dangerously as Djene screamed in agony.Mirian struck a devastating palm strike, her hands lashing out with a blinding speed towards Djene’s chest.Djene felt his soul leave his body as a watery mixture of water and blood spilled out of his mouth with a devastating effect.But Miriam wasn't done with him yet as she used her elbow to prevent him from falling just so that she could unleash more attacks on him.Miriam then delivered an elbow stroke towards Djene’s jaw which shattered every single defence that Djene had. Shockwaves were transmitted through Djene’s body and his muscles quivered at the effect of the rush of attacks on him as his bones creaked in intense pain, sending him to the ground in a heap. There w
Vanessa knew that she was in deep trouble. Her stomach was twisting in knots as she tried to contain the extent of danger that she was. If only there was a way that she could call her bosses and tell them to send agents to her rescue. But her hands were completely tied. She had to refrain from the dangerous act that she was going to do. But was she going to surrender just like that? Miriam wasn't going to pity her because she could tell that she was still very hurt by what happened with Dexter.“If you want to kill me, you can just go ahead and do it,” Vanessa spoke, her voice strong and steady despite the fear that coursed through her veins. Her eyes were flashing with determination. “I know this is about Dexter. You still haven’t healed from his death. But come to think of it, there are a lot of things that you have also not healed from.”Vanessa was referring to the death of Miriam’s parents but she had still not developed the full courage to say it out loud.“You know, Dexter’s d
