The door opens immediately revealing John Paul, he had his laptop in his hand and backpack neatly hung on his back.John Paul was breathing heavily as though he was chased by something. He quickly closed the door behind him, took a moment to catch his breath, and then turned his attention to Alex Waynee and Eric Raymond."Sorry for the rush, Lord Alex Waynee," John Paul said, his voice apologetic, his face etched with remorse.Alex Waynee immediately stared at him, his face etched with bewilderment."Where are you coming from, John Paul?""Is someone chasing you?"Alex Waynee asked as he stared askance at John Paul."Not at all, Lord Alex Waynee.""Lord Alex Wayne I've been monitoring the communication channels of the dude that's threatening you since yesternight.""I embarked on a fully undisclosed research on our new friends or enemies, not sure who they are yet."John Paul said as he stared intently into the high opulent ceiling above.Alex Waynee stared at the whole thing and spo
"Lord Alex Waynee, who or what is this Tinkler he is talking about?"Eric Raymond asked, his voice barely above whispers.Alex Waynee stares askance at him in bewilderment, "Eric Raymond at this junction, I'm as confused as you are right now."The weight of his words were like a burden, hanging heavy in the air, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the private lounge. Alex Waynee's mind raced, attempting to unravel the enigma of Tinkler, a name that seemed to hold the key to the mysterious threat looming over him."But for him to mention that name the Tinkler, that certainly means that you should know who or what the Tinkler is."John Paul suggested, his voice barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of concern and anxiety.As the trio sat in the opulent surroundings, a palpable silence settled, interrupted only by the distant hum of the city outside. "That's the issue John Paul, I really don't remember having anything to do with this Tinkler guy or thing.""It's all just frus
Two weeks later, Alex Waynee, Eric Raymond and Evans Raymond and Nicole are seated in the private lounge.Everything had gone back to normal and for 2 weeks Alex Waynee hadn't heard from any of his newly found friends as John Paul would consider them."Lord Alex Waynee, are you sure these guys aren't playing tricks on us, for two straight weeks, no one has contacted us for any weird monetary demands."Eric Raymond said, his voice barely above whispers as he paced around the room like a caged lion, restless with uncertainty and anticipation."I understand your concern, Eric Raymond, but we can't let our guard down.""Especially not now, not at this point in time."Alex Waynee responded, his eyes reflecting a mixture of determination and caution."If they had really disappeared, I think it's good for us, don't you think so?"Alex Waynee asked, his voice barely above whispers."It's good but we need to be more cautious than ever.""We really need to beware of their silence.""Their silen
Moments later Alex Waynee is pacing around the room, his face etched with bewilderment and curiosity."Are you expecting someone or any call from anyone?"Eric Raymond asked as he stared askance at the waitress at the door."No, I'm not expecting any call from anyone, especially not from the reception downstairs."Alex Waynee said, his voice barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of concern and anxiety."Can I go now?"The waitress asked, her voice was barely above whispers as she stared at everyone in the room in bewilderment.'Yes, please go."Nicole said and walked towards the door and closed it as the waitress left them in the lounge.""This is really bad.""What is really going on here?"John Paul asked as he walked over to the door to make sure it's locked."Lord Alex Waynee, did you say, you aren't expecting any calls from anyone?"Eric Raymond asked, The weight of the question hung heavy in the air, echoing the unspoken fear that gripped the room.Alex Waynee, now visi
Alex Waynee said as he turned his back to the receptionist and faced his team members."Who is this?"Alex Waynee asked his voice barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of concern and anxiety."So you thought we were done with you?"The voice finally broke through causing Alex Waynee to shudder in trepidation."It's him."Alex Waynee whispered to his team as he covered the mic of the telephone.The whole team stood up abruptly in anticipation of what might come next."What do you want from me, I thought we have been over this?"Alex Waynee asked, his voice filled with a mix of frustration and impatience.The dude chuckled on the other end, a chilling sound that seemed to reverberate through the phone. "Oh, Lord Alex Waynee, we're far from done.""You see, you've stepped into a game much larger than you comprehend."His voice was laced with a mixture of authority and power."What game are you talking about?"Alex Waynee asked, his tone sharper now, his eyes narrowing in suspic
Moments later Alex Waynee is pacing around in the private lounge, they all have retired to the private lounge.As he paced around, Eric Raymond stared back and forth at him.The situation was intense and palpable as everyone was confused with the weight of the situation."Lord Alex Waynee, if you could just relax for a minute."Eric Raymond called out as he stared at him continuously.Alex Waynee immediately stopped in his tracks and stared at Eric Raymond and back to all his team members."How do you expect me to calm down and relax under this tension?""We don't know what this guy is capable of yet.""None of us know what this guy can do or not do at this point in time."Alex Waynee said, his eyebrows furrowed in a mixture of trepidation and anxiety. The private lounge, once a refuge for strategic discussions, now felt like a fortress under siege, its walls echoing with the unsettling words of an unknown adversary."We don't expect you to calm down at a point like this, but a littl
The night came upon whistling meadows very fast.Alex Waynee is at the same spot, at the same thing with two briefcases stashed with three billion dollars in cash.Eric Raymond, Evans Raymond, John Paul and Nicole are hiding some blocks away in the dark and they all are in Comms with each other."I hope everyone is ready for action and fully understands the plan?"Eric Raymond asked, his voice barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of concern and authority."Crystal clear…we fully understand the plan perfectly."John Paul said, his voice very loud over the Comms as he continued his surveillance from the black van packed a bit far from the scene."Guys I would also like to bring to your notice that we are not alone…he has some henchmen lurking around.""I think they are for backup or something."John Paul said as he continued staring askance at his monitor in the black tech van."Remember, we are to wait until he has the cash in his hand, then we swoop in immediately…let's not
It's Saturday night, the night after the incident, Alex Waynee is awake and lying beside Sandra Douglas who is already fast asleep.Sleep has evaded Alex Waynee as if it had fled from the weight of the recent events.Alex Waynee's mind was a tsunami of thoughts.The echoes of the masked figure's words reverberating through the corridors of his consciousness.The revelation that he played a role, unwitting or not, in the creation of this weird adversary clawed at the edges of his sanity."This is just unbelievable..."He muttered to himself as he quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb Sandra's slumber.The night air was cool as he made his way to the balcony, the cityscape below shimmering with the distant lights of life carrying on, unaware of the turmoil within.Leaning against the railing, Alex Waynee stared into the horizon, searching for answers amidst the shadows of uncertainty. The events of the past days played in his mind like a well edited video, each scene an in
