Mr. Cranston took some time to think before he could answer Alex's question, "I was the one who sent him into your home. If your mother had found out his identity then it means she also found out I am the one who sent him. Now my thought is, what have I got to lose?" Mr. Cranston replied."Can you help us get him out?" Alex asked."Only because he's the best I've got." Mr. Cranston answered."Thank you, sir," Alex said to him. "So what is the plan? What are we going to do?" Alex asked Mr. Cranston."You and two men from my group will sneak into the mansion and get him. Since you lived there that means you must know or at least have an idea of where he is being kept." Mr. Cranston explained to me."There is something else," Alex said to Mr. Cranston."What else?' Mr. Cranston asked him. "It's my sister Tamira. She cannot be safe if she stays with me. I need her to stay here." Alex answered."What?!" I explained and it came out like a scream. "You know how dangerous this is Tamira. And
Jason POV:The moment that Mrs. Wilson said that she would take over taking Devon upstairs, I got angry about it. However, I composed myself.I had promised myself that I would not go down the road that my friend Devon fell into and that is exactly what I will stick to. She thought me to be a very stupid person. How could she think I wouldn't notice anything strange with Devon? I knew his weakened body wasn't out of being beaten up or tortured.As I lifted Devon's head, some of the particles of the substance that was used on him showed themselves. I recognized it immediately I got a small whiff of the smell.That substance had been used against me in the past before an important match that I had. Mrs. Wilson came back down and I saw her put a bunch of keys in her pocket.Luckily for me, I was able to see which room she entered and all that was left was for me to get the keys from her."Your service is not required as of now." Mrs. Wilson said to me."Why are you having problems showin
I snuck passed them silently and found myself at the front door. The door was locked and I couldn't think of any other way to get in. I went around the mansion and spotted a window that was low enough for me to climb through and get inside. With much struggle and effort, I climbed through the window, and there I was, now in a room. Luckily for me, it was not a locked room. I came out of the room and started to look for the room I had seen Mrs. Wilson walk into before. It took me ten minutes to find and with every passing minute, I feared the more for Mrs. Wilson's return. After getting into the room, I was very disappointed to find that there was no one in it. Oh shit! All this had been for nothing! I slammed my fist at an object in anger and to my greatest surprise, there came an opening which I discovered, led to a secret room as I went into it. The room was dark and I had to turn on the torch of my phone to see where I was going. Was I going to find Devon here? I soon found a l
The time came for the switch and I was left to wait for Mrs. Wilson. Twenty minutes had passed and she had not come. "You are wasting your time. Why would she still want me when she was the one who abandoned me in the first place?" Tamira said to me. "Shut up girl!" I yelled at her and then took out my phone. I dialed Mrs. Wilson's number and placed my phone on my ear as I waited for her to answer the call. Mrs. Wilson still didn't pick up or call back even as this was the fourth call I was making to her. "I told you that this is a waste of time," Tamira said. "Release me immediately! What you are doing is called kidnap and I hope you know that! As soon as this is all over, I am going to expose you and your gang to the police!" Tamira threatened. "Best of luck. Now shut up! I am trying to think here!" I said to Tamira. Just at that very second, Mrs. Wilson appeared from nowhere. "I am here," she said. "What took you so long to come here? You fixed the time yourself." I complain
"There's a note for you sir." a man rushed to me. "From who?" I asked him."Mr. Cranston. He wrote it to you. I found it under his pillow." the man replied."Let me see it," I said and the man gave me the note to read. When I was done reading, I could not believe my eyes. "He wants me to take charge of the gang?" I questioned out loud. "What?!" the man who had led us into the house exclaimed. "Let me see that," he added.After reading, he looked at me in surprise, "You... You are our new leader..." he said to me. I turned to Jason and Alex. They were also speechless."Get ready for a new rule then," I said.Tamira POV:Mrs. Wilson, what I call her now as she was never my mother, threw me into a small dark room and slammed the door shut. I got up and went to the door and I started to scream and hit hard on the door multiple times."Go ahead and waste your time. No one will ever hear your voice from in there. No one will even step into this mansion! You'll die there if I don't get what
We went our separate ways within the building and began to put our plan into action. Soon I was done and I came out. "Everyone out?" I asked as I approached the men who were hiding at the corner outside. "It's just Grenade and the other that is still inside." one of them answered me. We waited and after a while, Grenade and the other came out."What happened? What took you so long?" I asked Grenade."He mistakenly woke someone up and I had to help him silently that person." Grenade answered. I stared at the man who had come out and he locked eyes with me nervously. I felt something was fishy but this was not the time to think about it."Let's do this," I said. I led them out and passed the gates before pushing the button and throwing lit dynamite inside. In a few minutes, the entire place exploded.The explosion was so loud that my men panicked and ran to the car we used to get there "Come on Devon!" one of them shouted to me as I was still standing and watching Mrs Wilson's hard wo
The very next morning I woke up earlier than anyone else. I can be many things but not gullible. My instincts have never bothered me this much.I took the keys to my car and got into the car. I horned and the gate got opened for me to pass with my car. I had that piece of paper in my hand and I drove for a long while as I followed the directions given to me by people on the road.I reached the place and it seemed like a friendly neighbourhood. I got off my car and approached a certain house that seemed to stand out. Houses were scarce and looked equally normal but this particular one looked a little less in appearance.I knocked on the door and a lady opened up. She looked at me as if trying to recollect if she knew me before, "Sorry but I think you came to the wrong place." she said to me.The lady was going to close the door but I prevented her by holding it back, "What do you want? Are you looking for someone?" she asked me."I wanted to know if you knew anyone known as Grenade," I
Devon POV: That was a close call. I was just inches away from being spotted by Grenade if not for that squirrel. However, I am happy to have found this out myself. But one thing I have not figured out is why Grenade would lie about his family.I stood up and watched Grenade's car disappear into the distance. I sighed and then walked back to my car and then drove it back to the mansion.I parked at the side of the gate and took out my phone to call Jason and then Alex. It was too risky for me to discuss this with them inside the mansion where there are ears and eyes everywhere.Soon enough, Jason came toward my car and seconds later, Alex appeared from behind Jason. They both came into my car, Jason at the front with me and then Alex seated at the back."So what's up? Why did you call me over here?" Jason asked me."Yeah," Alex said.I looked around from inside my car and Jason and Alex gave me confused looks, "What is the problem? Is it about my mother?" Alex asked me."No," I answere
