FAZER LOGINNathan stormed into the hospital like a force that could not be contained, his presence alone sending waves of unease through the reception area as the automatic doors swung open behind him with a sharp mechanical hiss. His footsteps were heavy and purposeful against the tiled floor, each step echoing with authority and barely restrained fury as he approached the front desk, his eyes scanning the room like a predator searching for its prey.“I need the room Charlotte Dean was admitted to,” he said, his voice sharp, controlled but carrying an edge that made it impossible to ignore.The nurse at the reception looked up, startled by the intensity in his tone. Her fingers froze over the keyboard, her lips parting slightly as she struggled to respond, clearly overwhelmed by the man standing before her.“Speak, god damn it!” Nathan burst out suddenly, slamming his hand hard against the desk, the loud bang causing several people in the waiting area to jump in fear while a few nurses nearby
Sergeant Daniel Reeves and his team of officers arrived at the scene of the accident with urgency, their vehicles pulling to a halt one after the other as flashing lights illuminated the dark stretch of road. The smell hit them almost immediately as they stepped out, thick and heavy in the air, a mixture of burnt metal, fuel, and something far worse. What they saw before them was not the aftermath of a simple crash.It was devastation.The police vehicle that had been assigned to transport Charlotte was no longer recognizable as a car. It had been reduced to a blackened, twisted shell, its frame mangled beyond repair. The impact had forced it off the road where it had crashed violently against a large stone formation. The explosion that followed had done the rest, leaving behind nothing but charred remains and scattered debris.Firefighters were already on the ground, working through the wreckage with controlled urgency, while paramedics stood nearby, ready to assist with whatever
“What problem? Speak!” the commissioner snapped sharply, his voice cutting through the room with authority as he turned fully toward Daniel, his expression tightening with irritation at the sudden interruption.Daniel swallowed, the tension visible in his face as he struggled to maintain composure under the weight of the moment. “Sir… I just got a call,” he began, his voice slightly unsteady despite his effort to remain professional. “There’s been an accident with the police car conveying Charlotte back home.”The words landed heavily.Silence followed immediately.The commissioner froze, his expression stiffening as the implication of those words settled in. For a brief second, even the air in the room seemed to stop moving.Nathan stood still as well. Completely frozen.The confidence that had surrounded him just moments ago seemed to vanish, replaced by something else, something raw and unguarded. His jaw tightened slightly, and for the first time in a long while, his composure
On their way back to the station, the atmosphere inside the police vehicle was heavy with silence, the kind that pressed against the skin and made every passing second feel longer than it should. Gerald sat at the back, his hands still cuffed behind him, his shoulders tense as his eyes remained fixed on Daniel, who sat in the front passenger seat beside the driver. The city moved past them outside the windows, lights flickering by in a blur, but Gerald’s attention was nowhere near the outside world. His mind was locked on one thing.“Who are you working for?” Gerald finally broke the silence, his voice firm, edged with restrained anger. “Who set this up?”Daniel didn’t respond.He didn’t even turn.The driver kept his eyes on the road, his hands steady on the wheel as though he hadn’t heard anything at all.Gerald leaned forward slightly despite the restraints, his gaze sharpening. “I’m talking to you, Daniel,” he pressed again, his tone rising. “Who the hell are you working for?”S
“Have you gone insane, Sergeant?” Gerald demanded, his voice rising sharply with disbelief and anger as he stared at Daniel, his chest rising and falling heavily from the intensity of everything that had just happened. “Or is this some kind of joke?”“This is no joke, Inspector Ford,” Daniel replied firmly, his tone controlled and cold, his posture straight as he faced Gerald without flinching. “We’re here not just for rescue, but on order for your arrest—”“On what crime?” Gerald cut in sharply before he could finish, his eyes narrowing as he took a step forward, his anger now fully evident in his expression.Daniel paused for a brief moment, as though measuring his words carefully, his gaze steady on Gerald. The tension between them thickened, the surrounding officers standing alert, their hands still resting on their weapons as they watched the exchange unfold.“On dealings and possession of illegal firearms, and drugs,” Daniel finally said, his voice firm and clear, each word lan
“Shouldn’t we call for help?” Charlotte said, her voice weak and strained as she clung to Gerald, her body still trembling from the effects of whatever had been used on her. Her breathing was uneven, her strength barely holding, and the sound of gunfire tearing through the air only made her more fragile in that moment.“I already did,” Gerald replied quickly, his own breath coming fast as his eyes scanned their surroundings with sharp urgency. “On my way here. Let’s just pray they come fast. We can’t hold these men off.”There was no time to waste.Gerald tightened his grip on his gun and stepped slightly forward from behind the Jeep, using the edge of the vehicle as partial cover as he raised his weapon and fired back at the approaching attackers. His focus was locked on the incoming car that was charging towards them with reckless speed.He aimed for the driver.The shot rang out sharply, cutting through the chaos, and the bullet tore straight through the windshield of the approac
Mrs. Shaw sat on the edge of Charlotte’s bed, carefully dabbing ointment onto the raw wound on her wrist. Her movements were gentle, but the anger in her eyes burned fiercely. Every time she glanced at Charlotte’s bruised cheek or the swelling around her wrist, her jaw tightened.“How could your p
The hall exploded into applause.The sound came suddenly, loudly, swallowing every other noise in the room. People stood, clapping with wide smiles, nodding in approval, some even whistling. It was the kind of applause reserved for moments that would be remembered, moments that would be talked abo
Nathan ripped the chain bracelet off Charlotte’s wrist with brutal force.The sharp tug sent a fresh wave of pain through her arm, and she cried out softly, collapsing fully onto the cold floor. Her fingers curled weakly as she gasped for air, her chest rising and falling unevenly. Blood smeared h
Minutes later, minutes that stretched and warped into something that felt like eternity, the night exploded with sound.Ambulances screeched to a halt. Police vehicles surrounded the wreckage, their red and blue lights flashing violently against the trees, the broken road, the twisted metal. Siren
