LOGINMarley walked through a narrow pathway using a face cap to hide her face.She clenched the bag dangling from her shoulder tightly and passed a group of men who were drinking and whispering to one another.Their whispers quietened when they saw Marley and one of the men stood in her path abruptly making her halt her step.“Hey pretty.” He cooed and bent his head a little to peek at her face.“What is a pretty woman like you doing in a place like this? You are one hell of a pretty lady and I would love to see how pretty you will look naked on my bed.”The other men jeered, their laughter ranting in the air.Marley's lips thinned. “Get out of my way.” Her voice dripped with coldness and the man scoffed.“Don't be rude, I can satisfy you pleasurably well. What do you say, we have a quickie in the corner?”“Go have a quickie with your mother.” Marley spat and shoved the man away.The other men booed.Marley had just taken three steps when a hand dragged her back.“How dare you talk to me l
“Boss the transaction was made from an account named Florida!”Anthonio's brows creased. “What?”“Yes, Boss. The account Lucifer made the transaction from was named Florida.”“Could it be the same…”“Yes, they are literally the same account,” Bruno affirmed his thought.“Why would he make the transaction from that account? How are they connected?” Anthonio muttered, his mind racing in all possible directions.“It seems the person that Lucifer was working for is someone you know or a rival because they are also exploiting your company,” Bruno said over the line.Anthonio drummed his fingers on the table deep in thought.Whom could it be?This could also be connected to what happened five years ago.“Boss?” Bruno's voice invaded his thoughts.“Yes. What were you saying?”“I said we have to find how it is all connected.”Anthonio hummed. “Can you trace the account?”“The account is hard to trace and I'm trying my best.”“We have to find out who has that account and how it's all related.
Anthonio turned to his side and groaned.His eyes flew open and gazed around.The sunlight coming from his room’s window was too bright for his eyes and he turned his head away but that little movement caused his side to hurt.He winced and got up slowly and carefully and he walked into his closet.He took off his shirt and stared down at the bandaged wound.Marley had done a fine job of wrapping it and he hadn't thanked her.He sighed and put on a new pair of shirts, then went downstairs.He could hear the chatter of his caretaker and was greeted by some maids as he walked by.He went towards the dining room and his footsteps halted.Marley was at the table eating bacon.He didn't expect to see her having breakfast here. Missus had been taking her breakfast upstairs for the past few days.She looked up then back at her plate and picked at her food.“Good morning Mr Kalvey.” Missus came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and set it on Marley's side.“Thank you,” Marley said and s
Gunshots rang in the air.Anthonio placed a hand by his side and groaned.Blood dripped on the floor.Bruno rushed to his side.“Boss!”Anthonio clenched his teeth against the pain.Mouse rushed back in panting.“They escaped.” He wheezed out.“Are you okay?” Bruno held his arm and Anthonio nodded.“It's just a scratch.” Mouse came to his other side and held his other arm.They helped him out of the building and they went to the bus.Steve opened the door for them and they all slipped in.“I'll be right back,” Bruno said and got down. He went towards the building and emerged a few seconds later, holding a computer in his hand.“Lucifer’s.” He answered their unspoken question and Anthonio nodded.Steve put the vainon gear and they drove off.~~~~~~~~~~Marley's hands moved over her keyboard, her eyes fixed on her computer's screen.She was going through the names again using a service that helps trace a person's name.Multiple faces came up but she was lost.The faces she was seeing w
“I have found the location boss!” Bruno's outburst cut off any further questions from Mouse and Anthonio breathed out in relief.They both bent low to stare at the computer.An address blinked at them.“Where is this place?”“It looks like a deserted area,” Bruno answered.“Is it the right place?” Bruno nodded. “Yes. This was where the message was delivered. This is the computer's server location.”“Good job Bruno.” Anthonio patted his shoulder and straightened his back.“We have to catch this guy named Lucifer. My mind tells me he isn't the mastermind behind everything. He is too stupid.”Mouse nodded. “So what are we going to do? What is the plan?”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lucifer sat behind his system and input a code and went to the gaming site.He sent Bat the evidence of the payment and asked for his location but no response was forthcoming.He waited but still no response.Has he been duped?Fuck! This was bad. He didn't tell his boss he was making a transaction.He had made the transa
Marley walked across the pedestrian walkway and stopped in front of the glass door of Jessica's cafe.She didn't have many customers, just two or three were inside drinking coffee and eating sweetened biscuits. She could even hear their voices ringing out; laughing.Marley pushed the door open just in time to see a customer rising to meet Jessica at the counter.Jessica attended to the customer with a smile but her smile faltered a bit when she saw Marley come in, confirming Marley's thought; Jessica was upset with her.The customer moved away from the counter and went out. Marley took a seat at the place that overlooked the street.Jessica removed her apron and came towards her, carrying a cup. She sat down opposite Marley and set it in front of her.It was hot cocoa—Marley's favorite. Marley smiled at it then at her.“Well, well, well.”“Hey Jessy.”“Jessica to you from now on. Only those close to me and those that tells me their whereabouts are privileged to shorten my name.” Jessi
A woman stood at the threshold of the Australia airport.“Home sweet home.” She breathed in and removed her dark shades.“Where is he?” She glanced at her wrist watch.“Benita.” She turned her head to the voice and smiled.“Peter.”Peter stepped up to her and hugged her.“Why are you just coming no
“Hey, girlie.”Marley's stomach churned at the voice. No one needed to tell her who was calling.How did this crook get her number?“It isn't three weeks yet Don.”“Yeah, I know girlie. I'm just checking up on you, in case you wanna pull any funny business I just wanted you to know you can't run aw
Mrs. Kalvey opened the door and welcomed someone in.Anthonio's eyes darkened when he saw who it was.Benita.“What the….” Mandy gasped behind Anthonio, also not expecting Benita to be here.Benita smiled awkwardly at the two siblings whose eyes were sending daggers her way.Mrs. Kalvey broke the t
Marley moved quietly in that direction, her heart thumping fast.She knew it was foolish to follow someone who may be dangerous or armed without being armed herself.She had forgotten to take her pocket knife with her, so now she was left with her fists.She reached the end and turned sharply to th
