"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
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
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
"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
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
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
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 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!
