Lance stood before the board and presented the Chief Agent, bound in cuffs like a common criminal. It was hard to say but everyone was shocked at this development. Lance nodded to John and the two of them distributed the papers containing the evidence among the board members.
"I recently received news from Agent 505 that there is an insider working with the syndicate and I have reasons to believe that the traitor is Chief Agent Andrew Boyaze." Lance said, confidently following through with his plans with evidence. "The reason I say this is that there has been many attempts on my life, John's life and the lives of my colleagues recently. To top it all, all evidence points to the Chief Agent.""Recently, Agent Wilson was sent to kidnap my girlfriend as bait tokill me and Lance but the plan backfired." John chipped in. "The following day, Wilson was strangled to death with the help of his own hands by Jim. We have signed confessions from both Jim and Carina,Dario Pavel woke to the bad news of his father’s demise. The rumor spreading around was that he had been poisoned in his sleep. Infuriated, Dario had Cube and tony brought to him for questioning since they were in charge of Lorenzo’s safety but the two men were dazzled. they could not remember seeing anything suspicious in Lorenzo’s room. “Should I assume that you two killed my father?” Pavel asked. “Please, believe us, young master. We had nothing to do with this.” Cube retorted pleadingly. He was telling the truth. The two men and Buxton had dedicated their lives to serving Lorenzo and vowed to leave his side only after their deaths but Pavel did not believe them. In the world of war, people believed that those closest to you had a higher chance of ending your life and Pavel assumed the men had intentions of killing his father fr a long time; they just waited for the right time and did it. Pavel was right about his assumptions but he was wrong about the killers.
Locked in a cage with dozens of weapons, Cube and Tony fought each other to the death. Pavel and the rest of his men sat down to watch the match. Buxton clenched his fists, feeling overwhelmed by what he was seeing. He had overheard Gabriella trying to convince Dario Pavel that the two men were innocent but he disregarded her words and angrily ordered her to keep quiet. To Buxton, Gabriella had tried her best and could not go on anymore. She had a duty to protect her unborn child too but whatever was happening did not feel right to him. Cube charged at Tony, knocking him down and when he was about to unleash a kick to his torso, Tony rolled away and tackled Cube and both men fell to the ground. “Brothers! You and me.” Tony said in the bid to reason with Cube. Cube nodded and both men hugged. Pavel stood up in anger. “I ordered you to fight and kill each other. The winner will be spared.” He shouted. “No, Dario.” c
John disconnected the call and got out of bed and dressed up. Sharyn opened her eyes and saw him heading for the door with the car key in his hand. Sharyn sprang up and rushed to the door ahead of John and stood in between. “Are you going to stoop lower than you have already?” He asked her. “Say whatever you want but I will not move.” Sharyn said. “Is that so?” John looked angrier. “I didn’t know that people change so easily, Sharyn. You were so good that Lance always advised me to give you a chance but I am sure he is regretting now. I am regretting it too.” Sharyn flinched and reluctantly moved away from the door. John grabbed the knob and tried to open the door but Sharyn stopped him. “I am only doing this for your safety.” she said. “Did it ever occur to you that without Lance we wouldn’t be together?” John asked her. “I don’t want to lose you.” Sharyn said. By now, she was shedding tears.
Buxton moved closer to Pavel and placed his hand on the latter’s shoulder. Pavel looked at him and shoved his hand away. At this point, Pavel as wary of everyone around him. He could not even trust his own shoulder.in his head, he hoped that no one would revolt against him in this crucial moment as he was too weak to bear the attacks of the enemy. Buxton moved back, sensing Pavel’s discomfort. “I will get rid of all your loyal men and women and strike once you are alone.” Buxton told himself. “Forgive me, master. I know you are worried about the lady at the moment, but shouldn’t we search the brothel to see if we can find the murderer of your father?” Buxton asked him unexpectedly. Pavel looked at Buxton and then glanced over at Gabriella’s still body. “I know you will not be able to leave this room, but you can trust me with this task.” Buxton said. “I had vowed to be loyal to your father always.” “Alright then. Bring me the culprit if
Lance opened his eyes and found John, Kedade and Saga by his side. He smiled, relived to be alive as he thought he was going to die. Three days had already gone by since he fell sick. The doctor came in and examined him."Welcome back, Mr. Daniel Cortez." The doctor said with a big smile."Thank you doctor. I appreciate it." Lance replied merrily."Maybe I talk to the three of you in my office?" The daughter turned to the trio. Kedade grimaced. She hated this line the most when she was at a hospital. Doctors often had negative things to say when ever they asked to see a patient's relatives in their offices. Kedade was not the only one worried, John, Saga and Lance himself were also worried but they suppressed their emotions, each wanting to be strong for the other.As three of his guardians and the doctor left the room, Lance took his phone and looked at the calendar. Today was Chief Agent Andrew Boyaze's trial in court. Lance began to get out of
After two days of being apart, Pavel decided to face Gabriella. He was unsure of what he would say to her so he practiced some lines before he went to meet her. Gabriella was seated on her bed, looking outside through the window when Pavel came in. She turned to him, gave him a quick glance and looked back outside. A chill went down Pavel’s spine, making him even more nervous. He approached her and took a seat on a stool beside her bed and placed his hand on hers reluctantly yet affectionately. Gabriella turned to him as she withdrew her hand nervously and moved away, leaving some space between them. Even though it was an act, she had to make him believe her memory had returned after his gruesome attack on her."Dr Matteo says you have regained your memory. Do you remember what your name is now?""Risha...." Gabriella replied."Do you remember where you came from?""I was a hostess in Saba.""Now I know where Japheth found you.""That good for nothing man refined m
Lance stood in front of board and the other agents. The time had come for him to be inaugurated as the Chief Agent. Lance looked at John and smiled heartily. The position of Chief Agent had come to him at the right time. Now the two of them would be able to bring a stop to the human trafficking syndicate once and for all. The Chairman stepped forward and placed the pins of authority on Lance and made him take an oath in front of everyone.John applauded merrily. He knew a time like this would come and he would have to support his best friend wholeheartedly because a new day had come in NBCI; a new leader had emerged. He was going to set everything right and bring back the good reputation of the justice system. Lance saluted the board and turned to his comrades as they all stood up and saluted him."Thank you for choosing me as your next leader. I promise to uphold justice and to bring peace to our citizens by alleviating crimes of all kinds." Lance said and sal
Claris sprang up as her eyes beheld her sister, Vivian. The latter was taken into Claris and Katrina's cell, stupefying both of them."You can stay here while we prepare your cell." The warden said. Vivian nodded thankfully and walked to her sister's bed."Why here?" Katrina hissed. "Why can't ahead stay in another cell?The warden was about to reveal that Claris was Vivian's sister but Claris stopped her with a glared. Vivian chuckled and approached her sister reluctantly. Claris recoiled. She had no idea what Vivian was going to do, but she hoped they wouldn't have to hug each other."May I sleep here tonight?" Vivian asked Claris. Katrina snorted and looked away as Claris moved aside and let Vivian sleep on one side."There are eight beds in here. Why did you choose a bed which is already occupied." Katrina finally asked."I am scared someone might kill me in my sleep...." Vivian replied. Claris did not say a word, but she gave Vivi
