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
Djene and Koffi went into the doom of death as the air had been snuffed out of them.Miriam turned to point the same gun towards Vanessa but she was quick enough to defend herself.Vanessa, in a quick burst of action and the speed of lightning quickly picked up Rosette from the grounds in an instant.Vanessa shielded herself desperately with Rosette, her body pressed close to her.Rosette shuddered with a deadly quake of fear and her heartbeat was pounding in her ears as she felt like a light paper the way that she was so easily picked up from the ground. Her thoughts went wild as she darted from side to side with terror. She tried to free herself from the grip but before she knew it, a gun was pressed tightly to the side of her head.The force with which Vanessa pressed the gun against her head was so violent that her head was booming with a destructive quake. She was so sure that she was going to have a headache for two days if she was able to survive the horror that she was experi
Arggghhh! Eeek! Vanessa screamed in pain as she lost a slight grip on Rosette which she quickly took advantage of as she fled away from Vanessa in a sudden motion. Pow!Miriam immediately noticed that Vanessa had been exposed and with her body bracing against the recoil of her gun, she fired a decisive shot on her legs, rendering her crumbling to the ground.Vanessa’s knees were broken by the force of the bullet and she was rendered paralyzed from her knee down to her foot.Miriam then took long strides towards where Vanessa was writhing in pain.“I thought you were running your mouth so vigorously not long ago. What happened to you now?” Miriam mocked, her lips widened in a smug smile.Vanessa had so much disdain in her heart that she couldn't help but spit at Miriam in rejection, her lips curling with contempt. “To hell with you, Miriam!”Vanessa knew that she had lost the contention with Miriam and she was ready to die. She would rather die than beg Miriam like a coward.Miriam to
“Well, I am someone who came to save you,” Miriam responded.“Come on, I already know that. What I really mean is who you are, and where are you from. Who told you about me? Are you sent by my father to save me?”Miriam stylishly dodged the questions as she sipped an energy drink for a long time just to aim for less tension.“I mean, aren't you scared? You have just killed three people just to save me. What if the police come here and find out what you did? How are you going to defend yourself?”“I won't be alone though, would I?” Miriam asked, trying to poke Rosette with some mind games.“Erm, yeah, of course, it is only right that I stand by you but I still need to understand why we are not running for our dear lives because some more of those assassins could still be around.”“Don’t be scared, Rosette,” Miriam spoke calmly. “I can assure you that you are safe with me.”“Alright, thank you. But I need to see my dad. He has been worried about me and I have to tell him the good news a
