"Any news from Dre and Zan?" A feminine voice echoed in a room of extreme darkness. A young man stood in the centre with his head lowered to the floor. The moonlight seeped into the room through the wrecked iron window. His side face could be seen as well as the sweat dripping from his forehead. His heart thudded greatly, because of his inability to give a pleasing answer to the question directed to him. He hesitated before raising his head to the darkness In front of him. "It's been weeks and we have not heard from them""That means they failed... Failed their mission to capture Blaze." The voice came again and quite hoarse this time. The man abruptly lowered himself to the ground and his head resting on it. "Forgive me, mi lady. I have failed as well-" a dagger flew, past the man and thrust deep into the wooden door. "Capture Blaze! I won't pardon this incompetence again"The man hurriedly stood up, bowed and left the room in fear. The woman left her position and walked to the wind
Jason was on the pedestrian path when he saw the stuck child, shivering. People gasped, not knowing what to do as the truck kept moving. He sighed and made to take a step when a memory flashed in. He halted and charged towards the road.Fernando was about to rush into the road when Jason carried Jerry off the road while the truck passed. Jerry shut his eyes in fear, breathing improperly in the arms of Jason, who held him. He shook his head and shivered greatly. Fernando's knees hit the ground and his heart thudded greatly. He reached out his hand, drawing the attention of Jason. Seeing Fernando, he held onto Jerry, taking a few steps towards him until he stopped in front of him. He tried to lower him but Jerry gripped onto him. Chuckling, he looked at Fernando who shivered greatly at the sight of him. He couldn't believe his eyes. "Isn't that Him?" "Are you his dad?" Jason asked, gaining a nod from Fernando. He lowered Jerry and his feet felt the ground.The little boy hugged his d
Jason walked in and beckoned on the girls to come for a meeting. "We have a situation." He announced and the girls watched him with keen interest. "After visiting Mr. Peters today. He tipped me off information." He shut his eyes and exhaled and that might lead us to something concerning Matteo." Stacy adjusted on the couch and leaned forward to get the gist. "We are to search for a man with a huge deep scar from his shoulder to his upper arm, at all the taverns, clubs and bars we can find down the street." "Even her?" Blaze asked Jason while her eyes rested on Stacy, who took glances at Jason and Blaze."Of course, I can do it!" Mouthed Stacy and Blaze arched her brows at her. "Stacy will go with you and I will go alone, ok with that?" "Better.""A little problem, I have to meet Bethany's tomorrow by 8 pm, it's her birthday tomorrow." "Sure," Jason replied and left them in the living room. Stacy stared at Blaze before asking her a question. "How are you feeling now?""I'm ok."
AT THE RESTAURANTBethany hit her heels on a restaurant's floor nervously, waiting for her unknown "Daredevil" date."Will he come? Is he even real? What if he's AI?" Her eyes widened and she shook the thought off her mind. She panicked, waiting for Her dad, daredevil and Stacy. Her phone rang and it was an unknown number, she hesitantly picked up before pressing the phone against her ear. "Hello?""Hello, it's daredevil." She heard the voice from the other side and stood abruptly. Her eyes scanned around the hall even though she doesn't know what and who to look for. She stood up and took a few steps happily toward the door, at least he was here."What are you wearing?" They chorused at the same thing and laughed. "Ok, I'll go first." Replied Bethany while she gradually approached the door. "I'm wearing a backless long sliver gown and you?" She halted at the door and saw a man from behind answering a call. "I'm wearing a blue tuxedo." She smiled when she saw that he's arrived not u
Stacy's phone lay on the bench she sat in silence. She gasped tiredly waiting for Jason to call or something... To know whether he was fine, that's when her mind drifted off to Bethany. She stood on her feet, totally shocked as soon as she stared at her watch. "Oh, my God! I'm dead." She picked up her phone and covered her mouth after she saw five calls from Bethany not long ago. "Shit!" "What?" Uttered Blaze."I'm late, late for Bethany's event. She's gonna kill me!" She turned to Blaze nervously and her phone began ringing. Blaze picked it up and it was Jason. "Meet me down the streets, beside the bar... What about Stacy?" Jason asked from the other side of the phone. "She's here, about to leave for Bethany's? Birthday?" Stacy nodded and ran off after knowing that Jason is ok. She went to the bus stop and boarded a bus. "It's so late." She lowered her head in disappointment.***********Blaze arrived at the destination she was told. She saw a woman in a skimpy outfit, tied up and w
Mr Douglas enjoyed every bit of the event with Bethany and her "pretend" boyfriend, Xavier. Bethany talked about some funny moments between her and her dad when she was a kid, they all couldn't help but laugh. Mr Douglas dropped his car keys, mistakenly and bent to pick them up tipsily when Xavier called Bethany, she turned to answer but got a quick kiss on her lips. Her hands touched her lips and her eyes increased. "What was that for?" She asked curiously."Your smiles are fake... Your dad might notice, I don't want to be made a fool here, so let's play the game to the end... Cheer up." Hearing that, her face softened.Mr Douglas raised his head and dropped his keys on the table, releasing a quick smile. Meanwhile, Bethany couldn't stop thinking about the petty kiss. She looked at her dad and muttered a "thank you" "I hope he doesn't make you sad." Mr Douglas asked and gulped down a glass of wine..."He's the best boyfriend, I could ever have." Bethany stared at Xavier emotionally,
"What am I going to do? This is getting really bad..." Samuel paced around his cramped room and his hand massaging his jaw. He plopped down on his chair, with his eyes studying his ceiling and his arms resting on the armchair... While he continually gazed at the ceiling, a memory slid in.FLASHBACK:Samuel could be seen in a gaming house with other men. "Jackpot." He smiled and gathered the coins to his side. It was the fifth time he has won today and it infuriated the men he played with. One man leaned toward another and whispered: "He seems suspicious, he's probably cheating."The man being whispered to looked at the grinning Samuel and replied. "Check him out, discreetly." The other man hesitated before leaving stylishly. The next round of the game began and Samuel stretched his arms to get ready. People were already expecting to see him win again... He smiled and played his card.The man who was sent to check out on him stood behind and tilted his head to observe properly. He saw
"Hi, welcome guys." Blaze greeted happily but got ignored by Stacy. She took the stairs gently and entered her room leaving Jason to Blaze. "What's with the sullen looks?" Jason shrugged and got close to her. "Why are you still awake?" "I'm waiting for the wrestling tournament finale by ten pm. I even bought some popcorn on the way." She shoved her hands into the popcorn causing some pieces to fall to the ground. "I can pass," Jason uttered and took the stairs to his room. Plopping on his bed, he couldn't stop wondering why Stacy hasn't spoken a word to him. He turned to the other side of the bed and remembered how Xavier glared at him... He sprang up from the bed and squinted his eyes. "On a serious note, why the hell was he there with them?" He massaged his jaw, shut his eyes and gasped in frustration. ***********B-General hospital"Thanks for bringing in your dad as fast as possible." The doctor gasped and continued"You need to give your dad some rest, come back tomorrow mor
