||Hardie Morrison||
Trailing deeper into the heart of the dark passageway, it later burst open in a partially light blue hallway. A large clubhouse might fit in, maybe.My both hand in my pants pockets, I stood godly, scanning around the hallway. Just at the other end sat the two fuckers who actually thought it'll do them good by striking a deal with me, not a good deal though.Jamel Grayson. Gareth Sebastian.I hate to hear those name and now I'm meeting with them? But well, I have to do this.I scuffled towards them in my best intimidating look."Are you sure about this, Hardie?" Lincolnshire asked barely escaping a whisper."They want me to, do I have any other option here?" I asked back."Yeah. You could just back out and..."I cut him short. "And look like a weakling same as the two pussy faces tagged me?""Well..." He trailed off as we appear before Jamel and Gareth. Fuckers."Look who we have here." Jamel chuckled like he's cracking a joke. Gareth just gave me a short stare and then face his sh*t, I don't care."Nothing is funny here, Jamel." I hissed at him."I know, I know..." He replied flatly."Dismiss..." He sneered at the bitches hovering around. The bitches stared at him weirdly before scurrying away in utter fear."So...?""Now that you're here, let's get down to business." He said."Yeah." I huffed. "Got the papers with you?""Of course. You excepting to sign the deal on lips?" Jamel mused.Somehow, I find Jamel funny and weird. Everything seems to amuse him."The f*ck, Jamel." I groaned clearly not in mood fpr his shits. "Let's dig into business already.""Yeah. But first he needs to excuse." Jamel said referring to Lincolnshire."So you could murder him right here? Behind my presence?" Lincolnshire scoffs."You should know better, Hardie." Gareth spoke for the first time."He should know better? Of his death, huh?" Lincolnshire pressed in pure sneer."Lincoln..." I nod at him and he sigh before heading towards the exit."Now, no one's here to protect you." Jamel smirks.I stared at him without batting my lids, did he thought he could kill me right here? If so, then he's so wrong."How about we play a short game first?" He pressed still putting on his smirks. Seriously?"Is this also part of the deal?" I scoffs."Maybe..." He said smugly. Before I could say Jack, I heard gunshot and a bullet fell beside me. Yeah, this shit is happening for real.......||Jamel Grayson||I smirks as he stared in disbelief and confused. Yeah, I just want to end his life here and then gain all he'd worked for.Its clear, he's the richest Drug Lord and I can't just afford to be the second. I'm greedy and bloodthirsty, I want to be mentioned the first before any other drug lord.Good thing he got no relatives, I would have start from them and watch him emotionally down before I finish him off. But it seems I'll have to act fast, tch."Really, Jamel...?" He groaned deeply."Life can be cruel sometimes, Hardie." I said with a smug grin."What about the deal?" He said flatly. Yeah, I haven't gotten his signature, how can I be so dumb.I masked my fallen expression with a sly smile. "Well, as I state earlier it was just a game.""A death game." He still didn't look mused."I never mean it that way, Morris. It was all a act, tch. I thought you would fall, good thing you did not." I pressed further.He let out a deadly smile. "Life f*cks us up more than a street game, how am I suppose to fall? Tsk, tsk, don't worry. Let get to business."Even with my intention to kill him, he still appear unworried. Clearly, there should be something behind his confidence. Maybe being fearless and cold even at the face of death, that's what it takes to be drug Lord. Is it not?"Here, you might want to go throught it first. All that remains is your signature." Gareth stretched a file towards him....||Hardie Morrison||I took the papers from him and went through them. Truth be told, I don't think I understand a thing from here.Games. Pass card. Last to be defeated. All the fortune?I was expecting more of this but here I'm only seeing a death game here. Who's gon' die?How in heavens name who some motherfucking fool think of such shitty things like this? Clearly, there's more to this? Yeah?I adverted my gaze towards Jamel then Gareth. "Really?""At least you can read." Gareth answered sarcastically."That wasn't the reply I expected from me. Why this shit? Why involving me in this, the fuck, there are some other pussy faces who will accept this. Why Hardie?" I snorts at them.Just as expected, Jamel chuckled yet again. "Are you now afraid of mere papers?""Why will I?" I shot at him."Then sign this shit and stop prolonging the issues here. Just so you know, I got something I should attend to." Gareth sneered.Seriously, what's wrong with the both of them? Are they taking me as a fool or what?"In a nutshell, what are you trying to insinuate?" I asked playing numb."Pick the motherfucking pen and sign this shit, then we dismiss. Nothing more." Gareth half yelled."How about I make a request?" I said in a flat tone."And the request is?""I'm taking this with me, at least to get a clear knowledge of it." I pried into their eyeballs as if searching for answer."And if you aren't allowed to?""I'm backing out then..." I said with a taunting grin.They both stared at each other in shock, clearly, they weren't expecting me to put them under condition.And that says it all, they're bent on destroying me......"And if you aren't allowed to?"Jamel asked with a deep frown."I'm backing out then..." I said with a taunting grin.They both stared at each other in shock, clearly, they weren't expecting me to put them under condition.I can't just sign this deal with them without knowing much about it.And that says it all, they're bent on destroying me.Gareth was the first to recover from his shock. "You backing out?""Tsk, I never mentioned that." I said feigning annoyance."Or did I?""Wait, what! You never said anything?" Jamel frowned deeper, clearly in confusion."Did you hear something? Like what you aren't supposed to hear?" I prolonged my feigned expression."Hmm... But I thought I hear you said something about backing out." He said more to himself."Then you must be hearing things." I huffed in pretence."Well never mind." He waved it off, not knowing what else to say to defend himself. "Can you just sign now?""H-huh? I thought
"Take this. Make sure you deliver this to Jamel before 6pm today." I stamped the envelope and handed it over to Jade.He nodded curtly before taking it from me. "Sure thing boss." With that, he bowed before walking out."First mission almost done." Lincoln said from behind."I just hope it goes as hope. Jade can be clumsy sometimes." I replied with a chuckle."Next, we need to get an informant from inside. They're sure to gain one from us, we need to be more careful." Lincolnshire said as he itched his brows slowly."I know. We don't really need informants from them, we need to disconnect all Cameras in here. They might want to hack through it, Jamel seems desperate with a look at the way he was acting yesterday.." I sighed."I should do that right away." He nodded. "What about a disguise, will it be okay?""A bitch will do, he loves bitches a lot." I smirks. "We can use that to get through him.""You should handle that yourself." He toned before gett
||Arlington Arlington||Stirring the meat soup on the fire, I sigh repeatedly. It isn't that easy working as a maid Cook, more like a chef.Who would think I'll get involved in this kind of job, I don't think anyone would. Yeah, my brother is stinkingly rich but mom doesn't want to get involved in his money.Why? She believed his money is impure. But come to think of it, Money is money. Right? Pure or not. Un clean or clean. It doesn't matter anyways, or does it? To me, its not. All that matters is spending it."Arlington..." Jesse yelled my name like Its the cause of her misfortune. Yeah, she's the manager here but she act like she owns the restaurant, arrgh!"I'm yet to finish. Can't you be more patient, huh?" I gritted my teeth trying to be nice cause I can't be any nicer than this. Jesse sure knows how to frustrate the daylight out of me."Yeah, I should be. Till you spend the whole day on soup only, chasing costomers away." She shot at me. I only groaned
•••FeW hOuRs LaTeR•••||Arlington Arlington||I woke up with a loud bang in my skull, that kind of bang you can't simply ignore.What?Am I, by some means, suffering from hangover yet again? Did I get drunk last night again, after I've promised not to? Oh God, this is bad!But, how did I end up getting drunk? I think harder but nothing is coming, arrgh!Whoever get me drunk last night will pay for... Wait! What am I even saying, I should clear this bad headache first.I groaned deeply, clearly frustrated as I tried standing up to get some pills. This banging is freaking me out and it seems as if my head will be falling off my neck in the next minutes."Easy, you might hurt yourself that way." A calm voice pierced into the air, shutting the daylight from me. I jumped up startled.How did he get in? Did mom invite some visitors in our home? If yes, this is my room and it should be off limit for him."Hey... hey, I didn't mean to startle you that
||Hardie Morrison||"Don't you get? it's foolish keeping her here, she needs to go before she brings any suspicion." Lincoln glared at me. I blinked, this was never the Lincoln I trusted. He never for once raised his voice at me, talk more of glaring dagger at me."I know right, I just want to...""Don't try anything rash, please Hardie." He countered."Okay. Okay, I won't." I smirks."Good. I'll get her to some safe route, it almost dawn already." He pinched his brows."Can I go with you at least?" I asked still putting on my smirk.He glared at him before nodding. "Right, no rash actions.""Sure..."***"Why did you look like you don't wan' leave yet?" I twitched my neck towards the back seat, facing Arlington. Lincoln insist I sit at the front for his own self reason."I've got work to go, stupid." She huffed."Yeah, right." I nodded. "You're only leaving cause of your work, now I get it.""You talk too much, Mr imposter." She hissed under her breath. "The Hardie everyone knows bar
What are you doing here?" I glared at him. "Aren't you suppose to be in a more classy restaurant since you claimed to be Hardie?""That's not how to talk to your crush, you know." He said with a smirk.I scoffs at his statement. "Don't tell me you are stalking me, or are you?" I pressed on further."And what if I am? What are you going to do about it, huh?" He switched to his flirting mood. Gosh! Why can't he be normal for once?I turned around to return to my usual job post and felt a grip around my wrist. I turned back to meet with mr imposter's taunting smile and I was red."What the..."He cut me short. "Please can I get extra package for take home?" He said like he wasn't flirting earlier."Hmm, sure." I gave him a dry smile. "I'll be right back." This guy isn't mentally stable, I guess. How can a man comfortably switch mood with in seconds?Since I don't want to get caught up with his tactics anymore, I arranged his take home package and dropped it politely on his table. Befor
_Page 9_||Hardie Madison||"Here, take a look at this." I collected the pictures from Lincoln.Without going through them, I gave him a blank stare. "What are these for anyways?""Go through them first, at least." He pressed. "You might get few information from it."I sighed as I go through the hard copy just as instructed. "The faces here are blurry, what information am I getting from blurry faces?" I asked."They are the faces behind the sudden explosion of your warehouse, I'm still trying to track down the faces though. But for now, these are the information I gathered."At leat he's trying to prove his worth by working his ass to find out about the opposite attackers.I stare hard at the pictures but I don't seems to recognize any of them, though. Who are these people anyways? They did a really nice job in hiding their identity from me. Wow, just wow for a job well done.Am I having new enemies aside from Jamel and Gareth? Why are they after me? I really need to know about these
||Arlington Arlington||The day seems to break faster than user, I sighed repeated as I get out of bed. I just hope today should not hold any drama. For the past two days, things have not be really good with me. I quickly do my daily routine and dressed up for work."Good morning, mom." I greeted my mom who's already at the table with a smile."Good morning, sweetheart." she returned the smile. "You look stressed out, why?""Nothing mom, just that work these days are demanding. But no to worry, I'll manage just fine." I replied curtly."Sure. I know you a strong girl but if things are getting out of hand, do let me know." She said, concern laced in her voice."Hmm..." I gave her a nod and had my breakfast in a hurry. "Good bye, mom."I kissed her goodbye on her cheek."Be safe at work alright?""I'll, mom..."***Trailing down the street, few meters before the next bus stop where I'm suppose to board a cab, a car halt beside me. I decided to ignore the car but the car owner honked to
