REVENGE

While Sabrina was still trying hard to concentrate, Josh had just rejected another female customer who came to hit on him again. While he was arranging the food stuffs, he received a call from Daniel. "What is it Daniel? I'm not meant to receive phone calls during mt work hours." 

"We have caught your stalker Josh." Daniel said. 

Josh placed the last pack of vegetables on the shelf and leaned on the shelf. "Go on." 

"I thought you said.." Daniel had a mocking tone in his voice. Josh was breaking his so-called store rules.

"Just shut up and continue." . He looked through the aisle to check if anyone would see him. 

"Okay. We found out that she was sent by your mother to.." Daniel could not finish his sentence because Josh's deep voice which carried anger, interrupted him.

"Don't calle her my mother Daniel." The two speakers were silent for a second before Daniel continued. 

"Sorry, she was sent by Mabel to investigate whether your dad really sold the company because it went bankrupt, or if he transferred all the properties to you before his death.

Josh gritted his teeth in anger. "What does she want from me? Isn't killing dad enough?" He ended the call, left the goods he was arranging and went straight to Mrs Williams office. Sabrina noticed the anger on his face as she watched walk fast to Mrs Williams office.

"Is he alright?" She looked at the door of the passage to Mrs Williams office that was slightly opened. "I hope it's nothing serious."

As soon as Josh reached the door, he knocked softly. 

"Come in." She smiled when she saw Josh as he entered the office. "Is there anything you want my dear?" 

Josh massaged his nape thinking of the lie he would give to Mrs Williams to let him go today. "Ah yes, Daniel..had an accident. So he has been rushed to the hospital.." 

Mrs Williams stood up from her seat. Her face with total worry. "Is he alright?"

He immediately regretted the excuse seeing how Ms Williams was worried about Daniel. He helped her sit back on the chair. "It's okay ma'am, he will be fine. I was thinking if i could go to the hospital because he has no family except me." 

"Sure. Go my dear." She ecsorted him out to the entrance of the store. "If you need anything, just call me okay?" 

"Yes ma'am." He quickly left the store to go the 'hospital'. Sabrrina was confused about everything. Mrs Williams saw her reaction. "His friend had an accident." 

Sabrina gasped in shock. "Is he alright.?" 

Mrs Williams sighed. "That is what he is going to find out." 

As soon as Josh was a few blocks away, he sighted a black car which loked familiar. He knew it was Daniel's car. He walked towards it and opened the car door. He saw that Daniel was fast asleep. "Really?" He sighed and tapped Daniel softly to wake up." 

Daniel woke up and stretched, almost hitting Daniel in the face. Josh pushed his hand away from his face. "Dude, let's go already." 

Daniel scoffed. "You just came." He started the car and drove off immediately.

Daniel and Josh arrived at an old apartment. Daniel opened the door. Each of the furnitures were covered with big white clothes. It showed the place had been abadoned. Josh inhaled the air of the house and closed his eyes, remembering all the beautiful memories he and his dad had here. 

Josh went to a room. He stood before a huge painting of his father. He went closer and stared right at the eyes of the painting. The painting had a retinal scan. The painting moved itself to the side, showing a staircase leading underground.

He and Josh went down the staircase which led to a base underground. Daniel and Josh went to one of the rooms. He opened the door for him and Josh to enter the room.

Josh sat in front of the man whose face was facing the ground. Daniel pulled the man's hair up which made the man scream in pain. Josh smirked seeing the man in pain. He raised his hand, signalling Daniel to stop pulling the man's hair.He rested his back on the chair and crossed his legs. He pulled a cigarette pack from his pocket and a lighter. He inhaled the cigeratte and blew smoke into the air.

"Tell me who sent you." He waited for the man to answer him, but it looked like he was testing his patience. "Who sent you!?" He got up and punched the man right in the face. 

The man looked at Josh and started laughing like a mad man. His face was oozing out blood due to the heavy punch. "What will you do if I don't tell you huh?"

Josh stood straight and signalled Daniel who knew what to do. Daniel brought out a nutcracker from his pocket and grabbed the man's index finger and pressed it between the nutcracker.

"Ahhhhh! It hurts." He struggled to remove his hand. But Daniel was way stronger. " Okay I will talk. Lease it's painful." 

Josh signalled Daniel to stop. "Talk."

The man was still in pain but he managed to speak. "I have never seen the person who sent me. She only called me and gave me information about you, saying that if I manage to get everything you are doing right now, she will pay me well."

Josh glared at him. "Is that all you know?"

"Yes." 

"How many people are working for her?"

"I don't know. I just happened to get this deal Mr.. ahhhh!!" Josh had already grabbed the nutcracker and placed it on his private part and squeezed it. 

"Attitude mister, attitude." He removed it from his balls and gave it back to Daniel. " Take him to the cell now." 

The man was dumbfounded. "I have told you all I know, let me go!" He struggled to remove the ropes from his body. Daniel untied the ropes and called some of the bodyguards to take him to the cell. 

" Let me go! I have told you all I know !" They pulled him out of the room as he was still screaming until his screams could not be heard anymore.

Josh sighed and kicked the chair that the man sat on. He sat on his chair looking weak. "Why me Daniel?" 

Daniel sighed and squatted in front of him, patting his lap. " Don't give up now bro. You have to avenge your father's death okay? She will never go scot-free okay?" 

"I despise her Daniel. What did my dad do? I miss him Daniel." He bursted into tears. "I miss him so much." 

Daniel's eyes were filled with tears as he hugged his best friend. " Be strong for him bro, so he will rest In peace." He patted Josh's back trying to stop him from crying. 

As they left the apartment, Daniel decided to take a long drive for Josh to calm himself down. "You okay bro?" 

"Yeah." He wined the glass down to receive  fresh air. The air swept his curly hair across his handsome face, as he was thinking of all the happy memories he spent with his father...
