The early morning sun flickered into the small room through the small square shaped window. The room only had enough space to fit in a single bed,a closet,and a study table.Tap! Tap! Tap! The sound of computer keyboard getting hit countless time filled the room as a man in white pjamas kept typing away with determination in his eyes. "What am i missing?" The man said,taking off his small eyeglasses and rubbed his bloodshot red eyes with black bags under it. "I keep getting thesame failed result even after working overnight." "One more time,i'll just try a new code." He said to himself,putting his glasses back on and began to type with his eyes glued on the computer screen. The screen displayed rolls and rolls of numbers and letters,changing to a whole different numbers any time he hits the keyboard. After typing away for minutes,The numbers and letters screen changed and was now displaying a bar with a countdown. [5 hours for the extraction to be completed] 'Same damn result!
[Transfer successful] [Your account has been credited with 750,000,000,000,000]Edward's eyes widened in shock after reading the message. Rubbing his eyes to confirm if he wasn't imagining things. '750 Trillion dollars?' Edward pondered his expression mixed with surprise and joy at the same time. Edward quickly rushed up from his bed and hurried to his computer that he left on while going to work. 'It worked?' Edward thought with his eyes wide opened. Leaving the computer turned on,the extraction process was completed then the transfer began for another set of hours. 'I can't believe it. I finally succeeded.' Edward pondered,typing away in his computer to make sure they don't reverse the funds he had just received from an unknown source. Edward had no clue who's bank account he has been trying to hack for months now,all he did was try by passing the rich men's account around Brickwoods. 'Maybe i'm just getting too excited. I don't know if it's even real.' Edward said,glancing a
Edward arrived at his apartment,a two story building with faded paint and tattered environment. Individuals who weren't able to afford a nice appartment in Brickwoods,chose to settle in the one room apartment.Edward climbed the steps,footsteps echoing with every step he took. His room was located at the top floor of the building. Arriving infront of his door,Edward unlocked his door and was about to go in.. "Where are you coming from?" A female's voice said from behind,startled,Edward quickly turned around to see who just spoke. After catching a glimpse of the girl,Edward scoffed and ignored her question. The girl was Angela Alvarez,daughter of a Brickwoods sheriff. Sporting brown hair that touched her waist,a heart like shaped face and a hot body. Anyone who spot her on the street would conclude that she was the daughter of one of the rich men. But she wasn't rich,nor is her family rich. Working as a sheriff,Angela's dad was earning a decent amount of money and the family was d
Edward sat inside his small room,thinking about how to spend the money without getting suspicious. Ofcourse,people would ask questions about how a common security guard suddenly got trillions to spend around. Edward didn't want the gang leaders finding out he was the one holding their money,if they do,it will be his end. 'Maybe i should just travel to another town?' Edward suggested internally. Relocating to another town where no one knew who he was would fix his whole problem, 'Nah,i need to remain in Brickwoods and prove to those people who looked down on me that i am now far richer than they will ever be.' A smile formed on Edward's face after creating a scenario about the faces those rich people and also his girlfriend that ones lookes down on him would make when they see him driving in a brand new golden lamborghini,and convoy of ferrari following behind him. 'Haha,They'll be like,yo who's this man? And i'll say,yo,I'm just Edward. Haha' Edward laughed out loud at his thought
"What's the matter, Angela?" Edward inquired, concerned."Answer me truthfully, Edward," Angela began. "Where did you get such an amount of money?" The question came out of the blue for Edward,he didn't expect such question when he only spent a little amount of money. A security guard having $10,000 wasn't something that looked suspicious. Angela's question now made Edward realized how poor he was to other people's eyes to the extent that they assumed he had no scent. "I-i have been saving it up since i began my security job." Edward replied,saddness written evident on his face. "Hey,i didn't mean it like that" Angela patted his shoulder "I was just afraid that maybe you joined a gang that pays high. Joining a gang is dangerous, i wouldn't want anything happen to you,Ed." Angela has always cared about Edward ever since he moved to that apartment 7 years ago. She didn't see any difference between both of them since Edward was also from a poor background,the only difference she saw
Beep* Beep* Beep* The sound of monitor beeping inside the ward was heard,the ward was finally calm since the operation was over. The nurses and doctor proceeded with the operation and was successful after a few hours. Angela sat on a chair,her head bent to the back,snoring loudly after waiting for hours. The entrance door swung open,and Edward walked in and saw Angela sleeping in an uncomfortable position. The day was gradually getting dark and it was a law for the folks around Brickwoods to stay indoors when it's night time. Edward stood over Angela,glancing at her worried and tired face while she slept. 'You won't have to worry anymore,My friend.' Edward said internally,joy filled him that atleast he was able to use his new found riches for good. Edward lifted Angela off the chair with both arms,not wanting to disturb her sleep by waking her. He carried her outside,informing the nurses that he needed to get her home before midnight. Edward took her to the Uber waiting for hi
"Great speech today, Vice Mayor Charles.""Have a good day, Vice Mayor.""We love you, Vice Mayor."Compliments poured forth for the vice mayor, Charles Munrow, as he navigated the throng, his son Malcolm at his side.Having just concluded an address outlining plans to allocate trillions of US dollars for city security against gangs, Vice Mayor Charles Munrow and his son made their way to the sleek, obsidian-hued Bugatti, flanked by seven armed sentinels.Amidst a flurry of camera flashes and journalists wielding microphones, hope hung in the air that the vice mayor might pause for inquiries. However, this was not to be.The door was opened, affording the vice mayor and Malcolm passage to the opulent interior."Feeling alright, Malcolm?" Vice Mayor inquired from his seated position."Yeah, I'm fine, Dad," Malcolm replied, engrossed in his phone and wearing a grin. The vice mayor's curiosity was piqued by his son's amusement. Upon glimpsing the screen, a name stood out boldly: (Kate.)
A hush fell over the room after Edward concluded his explanation, awaiting Simon's reaction and response.After a few moments of silence, Simon finally broke it with laughter.."Dude, what's so funny?" Edward inquired, his expression one of bafflement. He had expected Simon's rebuke or stern words, not laughter."Very funny, dude," Simon managed to say through his chuckles."I'm serious, bro. You don't believe me?" Edward asked, his tone earnest. Seeing Edward's expression and hearing his tone, Simon quickly realized this was no joke.The two had been inseparable for seven years since Edward moved to Brickwoods. Simon, orphaned after his parents joined a gang for his future, faced harsh circumstances. People treated him poorly due to his poverty and shaved head, until he met Edward, someone who understood him and was willing to spend time together.Simon had never seen Edward act this way, so he knew it was serious and pressing."Wait, it's all true? You embezzled trillions of doll
Caroline overheard what she shouldn't have heard. Now she gave Edward no other choice but to silence her completely and prevent her from saying anything to anyone.Edward couldn't risk words getting out or him getting arrested at such young age. She should have just minded her business and stayed on her own. But no. She chose to be a big mouth,and now she has to pay.***The sun was begining to set and the day was gradually becoming dark.Thunder rumbling and rain falling heavily.Caroline was stuck in a heavy traffic and her head was filled with thoughts. After the conversation she had with Edward,she was convinced to head straight to the station to report Edward. But after thinking for a while,she hesitated.Caroline knew what Edward has passed through in life and how he got tossed around because he was poor. Him getting rich through illegal means was understood by her.But shouldn't he have just asked her for help?Thinking aback,Caroline remembered when Edward approached hee in hi
The gang were still chilling in the arena,trying to recruit more members. After so many trials and no luck,Edward decided to call it a night and the group began to head home.Meanwhile,Caroline has been following the group in secret,listening to their conversations and deals they made.The whole thing seemed confusing to Caroline on how Edward was able to psy this guys $100,000 without breaking a sweat. She couldn't help but think Edward already went down a dark path to aquire such amount of money."I hope he gives me reasonable explanation on our date tomorrow." Caroline mused,stepping into her silver coloured Buggatti then droe off to her residence.***Edward finally arrived in his apartment and headed straight to his room. It was already past 3 in the moring and everyone was already asleep.Unlocking his door to go in,Edward heard a familiar voice from behind."Good morning to you."Edward quickly turned around and saw Mr. Alvarez still dressed in his cop uniform."Uh..Hi." Edward
The cop car pulled over infront of Edward's apartment and Mr. Alvarez ailighted the car with Simon by his side.The duo rushed into the apartment and straight to Edward's room. "It's locked." Mr. Alvarez notified,noticing the lock on the door ."Dad? Simon? What's going on?" Angela stepped out of her room and questioned.Catching a glimpse of Angela,Simon's heart skipped. After staring at her a few seconds,he quickly regained composure and remembered why he was here in the first place."Angela,Have you seen Edward today?" Mr. Alvarez questioned.Angela wanted to reply truthfully but paused her words after remembering what Edward said. He pleaded to her not to mention a word to her father until he asked her to."Edward? Ah,yes,he came home earlier." Angela replied nervously,preventing eye contact."Reall? Where is he?" Simon questioned."I don't know. I only saw him go into his apartment then i went inside to take care of my mother." Angela replied.Mr. Alvarez could notice the nervou
"I found this gun in your back pocket." Angela said,taking out thesame golden colored pistol Edward used against Sniper. Edward retrieved the gun from Angela quickly, "You can't be going around touching my stuffs. Especially this." Edward warned,placing the pistol inside the drawer."Mind telling me why you have a gun on you?" Angela inquired with a raised eye brows."This is Brickwoods,Dude." Edward shook his head. "Besides,i just got it recently after the incident thar happened right here. I have to stay protected."Angela didn't bother arguing again. What Edward said was true. Someone who an assassin came looking for in his home to kill him would often feel paranoid and look for ways to protect himself."Now that you are awake,Tell me how you got shot." Angela asked with a worried look. "Was it the same assassin?""I mistakenly walked into a gang warefare and ended up receiving a stray bullet. Please don't tell your dad." Edward explained."Why shouldn't i tell him? He's a cop. He
Angela managed to drag Edward into his room and placed him on the bed. She placed a towel above the wound to slow dow the bleeding before Caroline arrive.Placing Edward on the bed,Angela glanced around the room to see if there was any first aid box to atleast stop the bleeding permanently.Angela searched around the room. But nothing. She bent down and looked under the bed to see if it was there.Glancing under the bed,Angela's eyes caught something. A strange bag sitting on it's own under the bed.Curiousity got the better of Angela,Making her drag the bag outside. While pulling the bag,Angela could feel te heaviness. What ever was inside weighed a thousand ton.Angela took a deep breathe in before unzipping the bag slowly to see what was inside.'Eww,Dirty underwears?!' Angela gasped internally,zipping the bag and immediately slidding it back under.Edward knew something like this could happen. So when he placed the weapons in the big bag,he covered it up with dirty used underwears
Mr. Alvarez walked into the elevator after discussing with the doctor. He still couldn't understand how Edward was able to get such amount of money to settle his wife's hospital bill.The Edward he knew was a common security guard who barely makes $100 amonth,and yet,he was able to psy a bill of $500,000.After so many thinking,Mr. Alvarez concluded that Edward was apart of a gang.Edward beinh apart of a gang would explain the whole thing since the gang members are paid nothing less than $10,000 dollars every night.And since someone visited Edward's home few days ago,gave him the impression that Edward was now apart of a gang.'Why did you choose to go down this path,Ed?.' Mr. Alvarez pondered,leaning his back on the elevator wall as he got taken down.BEEP* BEEP*Mr. Alvarezphond began to make buzzing sound. Slipping his hand into his pocket,he brought out his phone to answer the call."Jordan?" Mr. Alvarez spoke after answering the call. Jordan is Mr. Alvarez partner at work.Almo
"Haha,bro,you lost again!" Simon remarked,his fingers currently working on the videogame console."You are cheating you bastard!" Edward replied,leaning his back on the sofa in defeat.The two boys has been playing fortnite for the past one hour now. It was a way for them to forget their problems and remember how they used to hang out before this whole trillion dollars issue."So,How's Angela?" Simon asked,getting sick of the silence in the room. It felt as if the two boys already forgot how to start conversation with eachother."She's good." Edward replied. "I have always told you to just ask her out already." Edward said with a smirk.Simon picked up the pillow and slammed it on Edward's face. Simon has always had a huge crush on Angela,but due to him growing up as a priest,he couldn't gather the courage to ask her out."I don't know man. What if she doesn't like me?" Simon asked with a depressed expression."Why won't she like you?" Edward asked back, "You might be bald and all,but
"PLEASE BOSS! AHHH!" Marcus pleaded as a whip landed on his naked back.Delgado took Marcus back to his base after failing to return the money.Marcus claims that the money just seem to disappear into thin air.Delgado concluded he was lying,commanding his boys to tie him up in a dark room and torture him until he provides the money."You greedy bastard!" Delgado shouted. "After all what i did for you,you still had the guts to steal from me!"Another painful flog landed on Marcus naked back. And with every flog,a red thin line could form."I swear i have no idea he worked for you." Marcus pleaded, "I would have returned the money,but i have no idea how it disppeared. Please believe me ,boss!"Delgado ordered his boys to pause the flogging since Marcus repeated the same thing for hours now even when he's getting tortured. It's either Marcus was a good actor,or what he said was the truth."This guy you robbed from,who is he?" Delgado asked."I have never seen him before." Marcus replie
Thunder rumbling,rain rain falling heavily. The group walked out of the mall with their supplies and began to make their way to the man road."Slowly. Don't let them notice us." The thug's boss ordered,following Edward's group behind.The group walked into an empty park that leads to the main road."Why do i have this feeling that someone is following us?" Lexi asked in a low tone."That's because we are being folllwed." Edward replied,halting his steps and turning around.Turning around,Edward caught a glimpse of four rugged looking figures. All clad in black jackets and black hats. The Hattrick Gang."What do you want?" Edward demanded. "Nothing much." The leader of the gang replied in his deep rugged voice,"We only need you to transfer every single penny you have. That's all."Rocky and Lexi quickly clenched their fists and got ready to fight. But Edward stopped them and stepped forward."And what if i don't?" Edward asked. The gangs brought out their pistols and pointed it towar
