“I have asked the wrong questions all theses while, thinking it was the right thing to do,” Daniel began his questioning, after noticing Elijah’s reluctance to bend to his wishes, “a wise man said, ‘only a fool will do the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result’, is it right or wrong?”Elijah remained silent, unsure of where Daniel was driving at. Just like before, he chose stealth over hastiness. “Am I a fool or what?” “If you call yourself one, then you definitely are,” Elijah muttered, letting the cat out of the bagDaniel responded with a light chuckle, and took another sip from his beer, “well, I am definitely one, I guess.”Elijah shrugged, making no comment on Daniel’s following words. Daniel rose to his feet, and traversed the four corners of the warehouse, and finally settled at the only window that provided illumination to the warehouse, aside from the light bulb hanging down the ceiling. As the rays of sunshine splashed on Daniel’s fa
“I don’t care what you choose to believe,” Hank returned Daniel’s tricks with one of his own making, “it is left to you to believe what I tell you.”Daniel squinted his eyes and scanned around with a quizzical look, watching Alex and the other members of the group standing behind Hank like giant oak trees, except that they were in no way looking like giants. “Why?” “Excuse me?” Hank raised the corner of his eyebrow. “Why then did you choose to offer him back to me? You could just have made the same deal you claim Gusto tried to make, and run away with it, in exchange for you sparing his life”Daniel took short steps toward Hank, but was still a reasonable distance away from him. he scrutinized vividly the scenery, and hoped everything Hank talked about was the truth. He knew Gusto to be pious, and was not ready to choose Hank’s words even though the story seemed convincing and perfect to the core. “Don’t tell me you no longer have a price.” Hank’s lips curled into a short
Daniel chuckled sitting unfazed by what Hank had just said. He needed his answers and could only resort to means like this to get the truth from a lie. At its best, his plan could only enrage Hank, but not break him. “You idiot, I was just messing with your head a little,” Daniel said mid-laughter. He covered up his anger with laughter to blend in with the emotion of the moment., Hank leaned closer to him, giving Daniel deaf ears to his final show of surrender, “Don’t try it, because you won’t survive it. The shits I have in my head will suffocate if you even try to spend a minute there.,” he pinned his hand on Daniel’s chest. “Fine. I will see what I can do about it if only you would understand me and let us get going after we are done here.” Daniel yielded with a frown but was still adamant about not releasing Hank. Hank was starting to get disturbed and scared. ‘The police will be here soon.’ Hank thought to himself. He tried to control himself on who the police would
“Why are the police here?” Daniel questioned at the top of his voice, glaring at Hank, “Why the fuck are the police here?”Elijah plastered an elfish grin on his face and charged at Daniel with a takedown to his side. He thrust a right hand into Daniel’s face, and then returned his face with a jaw breaking left. Daniel tossed him off away from him, but before he could get back to his feet, Elijah charged with another spear to Daniel. He continued to land repeated punches to pattern Daniel’s face while the siren of the police got closer. “We have to go now,” Hank said with an intonation and fear creeping in his voice, as he tried to pull Elijah off of Daniel. Elijah resisted, throwing Hank away from him, as he refused to give Daniel an breathing space however possible. His fist tightened after each successive punches with each one creating a lasting effect than the previous one. Hank fidgeted for a while, and would not want the police to meet him there, “that is enough, let us get
“You have to circulate the entire area right now,” Richard said with a touch of hurry in his voice, lockng eyes with the detective. “This is not your turf, tell me exactly what is going on or else none of my men will do nothing,” he answered, still remaining stubborn and unyielding with no sign of backing down.His words put Richard in an even more difficult position, as each second passing only spelt danger for Elijah. It only meant that his chance of redemption is sweeping past him faster than he could imagine. “You have to trust me, please.”He resorted to pleading if plain asking would not work out as he planned. However, sooner did his worst nightmare come upon him like a tsunami with no control. “Trust? Hell no!” the detective retorted with no time wasting, his upper lips curling into a sneering smile, “Let me ask you a question, Mr. Morgan,” he continued with his lips relaxed and his attention solely fixed on Richard in a sterner manner. “This is no time fo
It took Elijah and Hank with the rest of the crew two hours to finally shake off Daniel from their trail, and finally make their way to the city where they can get help. Hank decides to lead them to his hideout for a while until Elijah can reach Richard, however, shaking Daniel off their trail is the least of their problem, as Daniel immediately hires a rival thug group to fish out Hank and his men. “Son of a bitch,” Hank cursed out as he hid from the search of the men rummaging through his hideout, which happened to be an apartment but with an underground basement that contained all sorts of weapons. “What is it?” Elijah asked, sneaking behind Hank. “Look over there,” he redirected Elijah’s attention to the silhouettes that reflected on his window. “Who are they?”Hank wanted to ignore Elijah’s question, but he was the key to his wealth, “I don’t know yet, but they are not from me.” “So, you guess that Daniel sent them?” “Let us wait.”Hank could see strange faces
“ What are you both doing here? They are looking for you? The police!” Cory said ,his voice very low and Hank held his hand dragging him to a dark corner where no one was going to see them.“ Who are all these policemen working for?” Hank threw the question at Cory but he avoided Hank's gaze which meant one thing; he knew something about what was happening since he was the one who kidnapped Elijah at first.“ I know nothing about it” Corry denied and Elijah sighed.If only Cory could tell them who the policemen were working with, it would be a great help to them.“ Just tell us who the fuck they are working with!” Hank was running out of patience. He just needed a way to survive all this problem so he couldn't help but raise his voice at Cory.“ Hey,” Elijah stepped in and held Hank's hand indicating he should step back which he did, his face looking pissed off.“ Hey Cory,” Elijah called, looking straight into Cory's eyes, though Cory tried avoiding his gaze.“ Just tell us who these
“ I am no longer your brother-in-law, remember? I already divorced Hayley” Elijah stated the fact calmly making Daniel laugh.“ Sorry, my bad” he apologised with a smug smile on his face. Elijah felt irritated by Daniel's smile but he wouldn't want to complicate things because any slight mistake from him, all his plans would be ruined and he might end up dying, so he had to keep calm to avoid ruining the whole plan.“ I knew you would want to escape so I sent Cory to deceive both of you here. It was so much fun, I thought you're a little smart, Elijah but now I know that you're totally brainless” Daniel mocked. Elijah folded his fists inside his trouser. It took the last strength in him not to throw his fist into Daniel's cheeks and burst his lips.“ Now that you deceived us and led us here, what are you going to do? Extort money from me?” Elijah asked but Daniel moved closer to Elijah and whispered.“ Sorry brother-in-law, I already have enough money so yours isn't needed, I just wan
