He knew that what they were about to venture into was something dangerous and they needed to keep this tight-lipped.
''What's up?'' Andrew asked.
''I need you to keep this between us, I don't want you to tell Dad about it,'' Derek said.
Andrew stayed silent for a while, thinking about what his brother said. He knew he was right in a way but at the same time, he knew they ought to tell him in case he could offer some help to them.
''I don't need to remind you about our family and what we do.''
Coming from a military family, they both knew that they had to keep a

''I better fill this before it's too late.'' Leonard smiled.He couldn't believe what he had just bagged. This was literally his dream, something he had been praying for for a very long time now. He could hardly contain his excitement as he read through the job offer. It was something he could work with and he loved that he had found it at the right time he needed it the most.''Wow! A hundred dollars per hour?! This is insane.''He could hardly believe what he was seeing. Usually, the ones he got offered him about ten to fifteen dollars, and seeing this just felt to him like seeing a million dollars.''I'm going to apply for this,'' he murmured.After fill

Without thinking, Daniel rushed towards where Edgar stood, pushing him away from the girl. As a result of his action, the scene had already caused a small crowd of onlookers with some of the students taking a video of what was going on.''Get your hands off her.'' Leonard barked.He was now so bold that he didn't care about what might happen as a result of this. Edgar had crossed the line so many times and Leonard was determined to give him a taste of his own medicine.This wasn't the first nor the second time he had done something so foolish and this time around, he wasn't going to rest until he paid for it.''What right do you have to talk to me that way?'' Edgar barked.

''Why would you even engage in a fistfight with someone like Edgar?'' the nurse asked with sympathy shining in her eyes. It wasn’t just about the physical bruises alone, but could he even handle a clap back from his family?As the most outstanding scholarship student in the school, even the nurse knew his background. Also, she had seen his mother the other day and knew that he was from a humble background. Thinking of all that, she couldn’t help but feel bad and worry about Leonard. Leonard sighed, looking at all the various things she had brought out for his treatment. Before walking in, Leonard noticed that the teacher had expertly moved him and Edgar away from each other so that they were assigned to different nurses and different cubicles. It was a brilliant plan, one that he knew was well thought of.''Things happen.'' Leonard muttered.He wasn't about to get into all of the details of the fight with him and Edgar, and it was best he left it at that. The nurse proceeded to clea

''Tell me who your parents are! I want to know who they are.'' Edgar's mother shouted.Even with the way she spoke, Leonard was not fazed. He knew that the only thing she could do was to shout and shout and that would never take anything away from him.''My parents will only speak to the principal and not you,'' Leonard said.She hissed, stomping about with great hatred on her face. Leonard knew that she was livid, and there was no amount of pacifying that any of them could do that would actually appease her.''Please, ma'am… let's take this into the office.'' the principal insisted. Unwilling to have drama happening right outside his office. Edgar, who stood at a corner, looking at everything that transpired, stared at Leonard with a look of disgust on his face.''I told you, no one messes with me and goes scot-free.'' he mocked.If he had his way, Leonard would have hit him so hard that he wouldn't be able to sit for a week. As it stood, he was seriously getting on his nerves and

''Please go outside for a while, I'll call you in soon.'' the principal said.Leonard nodded respectfully before walking out of the office in the company of Edgar who was still making lewd jokes about him. Leonard resumed his seat, thinking about the principal's decision. As it stood, he was leaning more on Edgar's parents' side just because they were the school's major benefactors and were always donating one thing or the other to the school. In the end, Leonard wouldn't be surprised if the principal actually gave him the suspension just because Edgar's parents had pressed it on him.If it came to that, he knew that he couldn't be surprised because he saw it coming. The rich always had their ways and that was something he had learned a long time ago.Soon, they got called in and as they walked into the office, Leonard already knew what the answer was going to be. There was a satisfied look on Edgar's mother's face as they walked into the office. His father was just indifferent, the
World Domination System 34. Did The Right Thing
At the close of school that day, Leonard didn't bother to look for Daniel even though he knew he would look for him since they had already made it a habit to go home together. He packed his bags, heading towards the locker rooms. Since he had been given a two-week suspension, Leonard decided to pack most of his books and make proper use of the time he had. He was quite glad that he had already secured the job from the system and now, he had something with which he could occupy his mind.Soon, he was ready to leave and with his bags securely in his bags, he headed out of the school compound which would be the last time he would be here for the next two weeks. He was going to miss it, that was a fact especially since he had made a whole lot of new friends and met some great amazing people and for Susan, well he didn't know how he was feeling about her because they haven't talked in a while. He didn't know what was going on between them and he couldn't be bothered because he already

The next morning, Leonard woke up bright and early, ready to undergo that day's task. As he sat on his bed, rubbing his sleep-filled eyes, memories of the previous day even filtered through his mind and he knew he had to just block it out if he wanted his peace.''I just have to forget about it, there's really nothing there to think of.'' he sighed.He rubbed his eyes one more time before rising to his feet and walking towards the bathroom to do his toilet business. Soon, he was done, and walking out of the room, he met his mother by the corridor, tying something in a black plastic bag.''Mom, good morning,'' he said.His mother turned to look at him, smiling when she saw his bedridden hair. He was the pride of her eyes, that much everyone could see and she was quite glad that he had grown up to be a very intelligent boy.''Did you sleep well?'' she asked.''Yes Mom, thanks for asking.'' he chuckled, walking towards the kitchen.His mother knew that he couldn't function properly witho

''I guess we need to talk then.'' his mother said.Leonard shrugged, looking at her. She had just finished making supper, and he knew that this was the perfect time they could talk. He needed answers, but at the same time, he didn't want to pressurise her.''So what happened? Why am I just getting to know now and from Madame Diane of all people,'' he said.His mother came to sit beside him on one of the high-backed chairs, facing him. She put a plate of spaghetti in front of him, and she had a feeling that he might not eat until their discussion was over.''Leonard, there's something I need to tell you. Something I've kept buried within me for a long time." her voice quivered slightly, betraying the weight of her words.Leonard squeezed her hand reassuringly. "You can tell me anything, Mom. I'm here for you."He had come to realise that being hard or rude wouldn't help at all. His mother had been there for him all through his life and had saved him so many times, and so the least he c

When they arrived at Andrew's house, they found him sitting in his room, engrossed in a book. They exchanged greetings before Leonard hesitated, then took a deep breath and finally spoke up.

199. The End Of The Road
Leonard had always been resourceful when it came to finding quiet corners within the bustling school campus. Today was no exception. He wandered through the labyrinthine hallways until he stumbled upon a seldom-used storage room on the third floor of the engineering building. The room was dimly lit, with dusty shelves of forgotten equipment, and it was blessedly free of the usual chatter and footfalls echoing through the school's corridors.Taking a seat on an upturned crate, Leonard pulled out his sleek, portable computer. He had received an anonymous message, cryptic and enigmatic, urging him to come to this very place and log into the school's restricted system software. His curiosity had driven him to this obscure location, far from prying eyes.As he connected to the system, Leonard couldn't help but feel a shiver of anticipation. The instructions he found on the screen were unlike anything he had encountered before. They were written in a code only he and a few others could deci

The next day at school, Leonard and Daniel found themselves sitting nervously in the uncomfortable plastic chairs outside the principal's office. They had been summoned, but neither of them had any idea why. Anxiety gnawed at them as they exchanged uncertain glances, wondering what could be so important.After what felt like an eternity, the door to the principal's office swung open, and they were ushered inside. The principal, always a stern and imposing figure, was sitting behind his desk with his hands folded, his eyes red and puffy. The sight of their usually composed principal on the verge of tears sent a shiver down their spines.As Leonard and Daniel took their seats, Principal Anderson cleared his throat, struggling to compose himself. His voice wavered as he began to speak, "I... I don't know where to begin. I owe both of you an immense debt of gratitude." His voice cracked as he continued, "You see, you exposed something that was far more sinister than I ever imagined."Leon

Leonard's footsteps echoed urgently down the dimly lit alley, his jacket billowing behind him like a cape. Daniel hurriedly chased after him, his voice strained with concern."Leonard! Wait up! Where are you off to in such a hurry?" Daniel called out as he finally caught up to Leonard, who was panting with a mix of worry and determination.Leonard glanced over at Daniel, his eyes filled with urgency. "We need to find Susan, and we need to find her fast," he replied, his voice tense. "I have this feeling that with Edgar being arrested, he might come after Susan and... and harm her. I can't let that happen."Daniel's eyes widened with realization as he processed Leonard's words. The threat to Susan's safety was real, and they both knew it. Without another word, they continued down the bustling city streets, their pace quickening as they embarked on a race against time to ensure their friend's safety.Later on, the boys finally stumbled upon her, standing at the edge of a small clearing,

The sun had barely begun its ascent on the horizon, casting a gentle glow over the quiet school campus. Students were trickling in, their backpacks slung over their shoulders, oblivious to the impending chaos. It was a crisp, ordinary morning at the boy's High School until it wasn't.At precisely 8:15 AM, the serene atmosphere was shattered as an entourage of police cars screeched to a halt outside the school's imposing main doors. Uniformed officers spilled out of the vehicles, their stern expressions a stark contrast to the typically serene surroundings. Right at the forefront, the head of education for the city, Mr. Hugo Harrington, emerged from a sleek black sedan. He was a formidable man known for his strict policies and no-nonsense attitude, and he was not alone. Armed policemen flanked him on either side, creating an intimidating presence that sent shock waves through the school.Inside the school building, the principal had been going about his morning routine when the commoti

Just as they were about to step inside, the stern and imposing figure of the schoolkeeper, came into view. He was a tall, burly man with a perpetually furrowed brow, known for his strict adherence to school rules.The older man's eyes narrowed his eyes as he saw the two boys approaching. With a determined stride, he closed the gap between them and crossed his arms, blocking their path."Why are you two late again?" he barked, his voice filled with irritation.Leonard, who had been nervously glancing around, now stifled a chuckle.
