||Hardie Morrison||
Staring into the empty space, I puffed out huge smoke from my nostrils. Arrgh!Jamel. Jamel. Jamel.Gareth. Gareth. Gareth.I hate to hear those two names. Yeah, they weren't really opposing me but they look like they really are. To themselves though and I don't really care, maybe I do...Being a huge drug addict and a drug Lord, do I need to be bothered by some opposing drug dealers in states?But here i am bothered by Gareth and Jamel which shouldn't expected of me. They're just a threat and what again...? I don't even know but they keep getting into my way and it seems they are everywhere too.Maybe I should just strike the deal with them and then what happens afterward...?Get them outta my way, huh?Yeah, oh yeah. That seems like a good idea to me.They called for the deal and Yes, I'm striking it with them.Its either now or never!***"We are here boss..." Lincolnshire, one of my most loyal hangmen announced, immediately the car came to stop.I sniffed in the last morsel of cocaine with me, wiped my nostrils before hopping down from my limo.I stared at the huge building before me, it really take in more fortune but I bet mine worth more.Not to brag though, just saying.In drug dealing, what matters the most? Money, Post or being famous?Maybe they all matters, yeah I'm starting to think that way.I gat the money needed, I am holding a high post here in New York and yes, I'm famous too. But everything started getting all blurry when Gareth and Jamel came into the picture.Do I have to risk all I've worked hard for, day in day out, all for these two? Hell no, I need to act fast or what...?Loose them all? I can't possibly allow that, not when I'm still breathing."This way." A dark figure guy with a hazing look gestured forward. I gave him a questioning stare and he barely give me a nod.He led Lincolnshire and I through a singled filed passageway with barely dim light. I could feel the dark aura oozing off here making it blend with the partially dark passageway."Here we're..." He paused after a long walk leading underground and here before a huge oak door. Yeah, I could feel it and I'm still feeling it. Something seems odd about this place."He is in?" I asked in deeply hoarse voice."Do I look like a liar to you?" He threw at me. "I won't bring you to this place if he wasn't."Lincolnshire drew out a short gun from his pocket pointing it towards his head. "Watch how you speak to Hardie, Fucker."I raised my palm. "Lincoln..."Lincolnshire gave me a hesitating look before he lowered his gun. "Thank your damn stars, boy.""Boy huh?!" The guy look unfazed as he let out a dark chuckled. "Thought you can threaten me with guns?"Lincolnshire burned with anger as he groan under his breath. We are here for a deal and not for exchanging words and bullets, yeah."Let it go." I huffed and turned towards the other guy. "Show us in.""Yeah. Why not?" He said in a mocking tone before inputting a short code on the wall side. Slowly, the ground shook as the huge door give way."He's somewhere down there." With that he turned away without waiting for a reply.Lincolnshire stared at me and I gave him an assuring nod before we walked in. Just as expected, the door closed behind with a hissing sound.Everything here seems weird, even the building structures too. Not one would have suspected that the building could hold an underground passageway. Maybe, just maybe, I haven't achieved what Jamel had in store......||Jamel Grayson||I chuckled darkly as the blonde bitch trailed her artificial nails on my chest down to my abs giving me the feeling I would never wan to miss. Gareth hung his head low sniffing in coke not bothered with the bitches trying to get his attention.He's sometimes like that or maybe he's always, busy with his coke, shutting out the world from him. He's a kind of introvert, a loner to be precise, wanting to do his thing his way.I've always admire him for that but I wished he could the world some other way. Getting hooked up with bitches, gunning cops down and getting Politicians wrapped on your finger. Yeah, that what defines life.He never fought for it but surprisingly, politicians feared him. Cops gives way whenever he's around and bitches hovered around him even without him giving them attention.He's not that rich but he got all a man could probably demand of. Post, popularity, bitches? What else? And Beauty? Yeah did I mentioned him to be a beautiful man? Guess I forgot to but Gareth is sinfully beautiful and deadly too.Sometimes, I fear him even if he's my childhood friend."What?" Gareth voice broke into my thoughts. I raised a questioning brow at him."Why what?""You've been staring at me with a creepy smile, like being amused. Am i amusing you?" He said still sniffing in his coke."Guess you are." I let out a croak laughter. "But never mind.""Tch... that's weird" He flicked his long lashes as his eyes wandered about before it finally settled at the far end of the hallway. I trailed his stare and there he is.Hardie Morrison. New York supposed Drug Lord."Finally, he considered our offer." I chuckled gravely. "I was doubting if he'll ever concur to it at first.""Maybe he isn't that bossy as rumored. Who cares anywhere." Gareth said plainly. But I doubt that, Hardie I heard about isn't a soft guy to bend.Maybe he has his own grave reasons for giving in, whatever reason it must be, I'm ready to send him back to dusk.......||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
"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
