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
"Boss, what are we going to do about this? We cannot just let Mrs Wilson have Grenade. And, we know her well. She will kill Grenade by the end of the second day." one of my men asked me."I need to think this through," I replied."Get inside everyone," I said to them.They all turned and started to leave but Alex and Jason stayed back with me. "Now you see? Mrs Wilson has him and is threatening us with his life in her grasp. And there you were suspecting him for nothing." Alex said."I admit my mistake, Alex," I replied. Jason looked at Alex in an odd and suspecting way but changed his face the moment Alex turned to look at him.I placed my hand on Jason's shoulder and eyed him, a way of indirectly saying he should control himself."What is up with you two anyways?" Alex asked us. "Nothing," Jason said, and by the way, he said it, I knew he was struggling to hold in other words."So what is the next step? We have to get him out of Mrs Wilson's custody." Alex said to me."As I said ea
Alex POV: I could not stand this and most of all, I could not wait. Not when there is a limit of two days. What is something that happens to Grenade because of Devon's stupid decision?No. I cannot let that happen. I have to do something.I waited until it was dark and I snuck out of my room. The only person who saw me leave, because I could not avoid his sight, was the security guard who I casually walked passed.I took a cab and in no time, I was a block away from my mother's mansion. I walked the rest of the way after paying the cab driver and once I was there I got confused about what to do next.Should I knock or just open the gate? Surly the security guards of the mansion will not be aware of what has been happening in my family.I decided to just go in.I pushed the gate open and walked in like it was nothing. I looked around and to my surprise, there was no one there guarding the gate. Where were all the security guards?I noticed a roughly covered floor at the side and went
Devon POV: "Are you alright?" Jason asked Alex. "Yes. Thank you." Alex answered. "We have to leave immediately," I said to them. "Huh? But what about Mrs Wilson?" Jason questioned. "We have got to take her," Jason added. "No. It will be too risky. Not just that but we might never find Grenade." Alex said to Jason. "How do you mean?" I asked Alex. "I already went in there. Grenade is not being kept in the secret room. That was the only place within the mansion that my mother could have hidden Grenade." Alex explained. "And I know that if we take her hostage, she will never speak of his location," Alex said. I looked over at Jason and nodded, "let's leave then." I said and I helped Alex to the car while Jason opened the back door. I put Alex in and went to sit behind the steering wheel while Jason sat at the back with Alex, giving him first aid treatment. I never thought that things could turn this way but at least the doubt about Alex's loyalty was now cleared. That is if the
Devon POV: "We went there last night and Grenade wasn't there and I can tell, neither was Tamira," I said. "Tamira? Do you mean Tamira Wilson? Mrs Wilson's daughter? Why the heck would we want her sir?" one of my men asked me. We were all gathered early this morning, discussing what had happened, "Tamira is a friend and not a foe. She hates her mother just as much." I replied. "That doesn't mean she automatically becomes one of us or that we should help her," he said to me. "She is your boss's wife remember?" Jason said. "Yeah but all that was fake. Nothing real. All was for the mission." another one of my men replied to Jason and then turned to me. There was a somehow awkward silence between us. "Boss. Don't tell me you fell for..." he said, watching my face for my reaction. "What we had was and still is real," I stated. They were all surprised but did not complain, "Then we will help you get her back as well." someone else said and the rest agreed. "Thanks." I found myself
I got out of the room and thankfully, the person I knocked out had a cap on which I could use to hide my face. I made it passed some of Mrs Wilson's men and just as I was approaching the exit, Mrs Wilson walked right in and we almost bumped into each other if not that I dodged on time. "What the hell?! Just who is this dimwit that almost knocked me over?! " Mrs Wilson shouted, two bodyguards, one on either side of her, stood mightily over me and grabbed both of my hands as they lifted me to my feet. Shoot! What a dangerous mistake I just made! I maintained my bowed head, trying for them not to see my face. Mrs Wilson reached out to remove the cap but just as she was doing that and I thought all hope was lost, someone came running and shouting. "Boss! Boss!" I heard a man's voice shouting and panting. "What is it?!" Mrs Wilson questioned, already annoyed as she held back her hand. "It's Grenade!" the man shouted and my heart skipped a beat. Had I just been caught so easily?"Wha
