Lance, Evans and John met at the casino later that night. The three men took out their pens and papers and began drafting plans and strategies to ambush Dario Pavel. Evans provided more insight after gathering information from his friends in Sultan.
"The route behind the jungle is more suitable for us when ambushing Pavel." Evans said. "The main tarred road is full of spies who work for Dario. Even children are used to spy on people and scout potential victims and enemies."
"Then I will send you and two others to go and scout the back route. I will need a report on the route's possible dangers, disadvantages, hideouts and its distance to the brothel." Lance told him.
"That is a good idea." Evans chirped.
"Meanwhile, I will continue to work with O'Neil on the sides. We need to make sure he shares with us all the information we can use." John added.
"Thank you so much for being a part of this miss
Lance stood outside the room and watched Vivian and Claris through the window blinds. Both women were still unconscious despite a day having passed since Katrina 's demise. The postmotem reports still showed no sign of poison in their systems. No weapon or injury was detected either and this puzzled Lance greatly. John came to him and placed a hand on his shoulder."Hey....""John...you are here?" Lance looked at his friend."You haven't had food yet. You need some replenish your energy.""It is my fault that Katrina is dead....""You did your best to protect her.""I still have to find out whay happened.""Do you still think that it was Vivian?""The truth has a way of coming out." Lance said and looked back at Vivian. She looked so peaceful and innocent in unconscious yet it was highly possible that she had killed Katrina and sent herself and her sister in an unconscious state to cover up the sin."There is a cafe near
Lance looked at the report that John had brought him and sighed unhappily. John slumped in the nearest seat defeatedly and furrowed his brow."With this, there is no way to prove that Vivian murdered Katrina." He said."I know this woman had something to do with Katrina's death. What I don't know is how she did it and whether she did it alone or with someone's help." Lance commented."I know you suspect Vivian and Claris but how could they put themselves at risk too if they are the masterminds.""You are the one who told me that Vivian spoke strangely during the interrogation. Maybe she just gave herself up in order to carry out the murder. Bedsides, I also found it strange that she willing came to me to arrest her. ""The Chief said he will keep investigating.""I feel bad about not helping them.""It is not your case, Lance. I don't want people accusing you of trying to step on the local police's toes by taking up their cases.""You always think too much...
Lusha was awakened by the agonizing cries of Gabriella as they mercilessly whipped her with batons. Tears streamed down Lusha's face as she helplessly watch Gabriella being mistreated. After an hour, it was her turn. The men went to get Lusha tied her to a post where they started whipping her too. They made Gabriella watch her too. This was the only way Pavel could think of when if came to crushing Gabriella's spirit. Dario Pavel came in to the torture room some hours later and sat down to watch. He eventually asked the men to leave so that he could have a private conversation with Gabriella. Lusha was no use to him since she could not talk anyway."According to my investigations, you, Lusha, O'Neil, Kedade and Saga planned to help Kedade and Saga elope from here. I must commend you because your plan worked well. ""You are not the only smart one in the world..." Gabriella said each word with struggle."It looks like you have not been broken yet...""It have been t
Amber reached out for the phone and contacted the Chief of police. He showed up thirty minutes later. He looked angry. Amber and Lillian saluted him nervously. The man gave both wardens a grimaced stare and went on to examine the dead body of Vivian. The doctors had already pulled a sheet on her so the chief had to uncover it for scrutiny."Have any investigations been carried out?""Yes, Sir." Lillian replied nervously. "A man dressed in a nurse's uniform was the one who launched an attack on Vivian.""Where we're you when all this took place?""I stepped out for a moment. I met Amber on my way out and we came back together.""Constable.....do you realise that two people have lost their lives under your care on different occasions too?""I know the situation looks suspicious, but I swear on my integrity that I am not involved in the murders.""Your word alone is not enough....I can believe you as your superior and mentor but other will not.
Lance got put of the shower and dressed up quickly. He was about to leave the house when his phone rang. Looking at the screen, Lance was elated. Kedade was video calling him. Lance pick kedade up the call immediately."Brother!" Kedade chirped."Hey there!" Lance chortled merrily."I thought of yousaid and John today. I really wanted to talk to you..." Kedade said happily."John is not here though." Lance smirked mischievously."Oh come on. I have a fiance now and I love him very much. By the way, he is saying hi." Kedade told him."I was not hinting at anything and tell Saga I said hi too.""Absolutely....are going for work?""Yeah...there is this case we have to finish once and for all.""Oh alright. Tell me when you are done so that we can start planning for the wedding.""You don't have to wait for me to do that, Kedade.""I know but I want you to be present at all times during the preparation of the weddi
Lance looked out the window and gazed at vast city of Flora. It looked calm from his 7th floor office but, he knew better. Nothing was as it seemed. The capital city was on fire; tensions were brewing as road blocks intensified; checkpoints were being avoided, crime was being conducted with caution and most of all, everyone was lying in wait to see what would happen next. John called out to Lance but he was too absentminded to hear his friend call. John stood up and walked up to Lance, touching his shoulder from behind. Lance quickly turned with a blank expression and found John gaping at him."Are you having jitters?" John asked him."Is it time for us to brief the teams?""No...I came in to invite for lunch." John said. "You have been locked up in this room since the meeting with the other Agencies's leaders ended.""Ah, yes." Lance retorted. "I had to think about something first.""Let us go and eat first. We will need the energy.""As you wish
"He is mad about something. I must find out what it is." Gabriella thought to herself and spatial the blood from her mouth."Lower your gaze!" Pavel shouted at her as he landed a slap on her face."What? Did you find out that they tricked you?" Gabriella's voice was breaking from time to time."Tricked who?" Pavel sneered. "Do you think destroying Sultan will stop my operations?""Oh so he still thinks the Chief Agent is dead. He is mad because Sultan was destroyed. I bet this is a move from NBCI. Nobody would have made this possible except for Lance and John...I am so proud....it gives me satisfaction to see Pavel so rattled.""No more questions, SP Gabriella?""No...but I am satisfied to see you so rattled, Pavel.""You shouldn't have said that!" Pavel said and punched her stomach again. Gabriella screamed in pain and smirked afterwards. Pavel realised that she was toying with him and left the room angry.Hearing about Pavel’s vi
"Yes. I would would choose to live on the farm with Gabriella." Pavel thought to himself as he walked down the hallway that led to the bar. He still could not get the question that doctor Mattel had asked him out of his head. Even in the bar, he sat down and stared at his drink while thinking about Dr. Master's question."But it is too late now. This is my life. My father and I are far too gone that there is no turning back." Pavel told himself repeatedly.A few minutes after Pavel had left, Gabriella slightly opened her eyes and closed them again since she did not want to talk to Pavel at all even though she was awake."He is gone now. You can wake up." Dr. Matteo told Gabriella after Pavel had left."How did you know that I was awake?" Gabriella asked as she opened her eyes."I did not give you a high dose of the sedative." Dr. Matteo replied after chuckling. "From now on, you have to avoid taking to Pavel. Maybe i can get him to budge by
