Drex storm out of the Daily newspaper building in so much haste. He has to get to the bottom of this all. The only thing still keeping his sanity intact was that he has not felt any pain anywhere on his body, which indicates that Ava could be in danger.He went straight to the parking lot. There, he met Tyler leaning on the car.Tyler straightened up the moment he saw his boss approaching with a stone-cold face. He needs no one to tell him that all was not or did not go well in the office.He waited expectantly."Where is he?" Drex demands at once when he got to the car.Tyler moved quickly to the back and lifted the booth to reveal a struggling battered man, lying squeezed inside. His face unmasked, mouth painfully sealed.He had his hands bound strongly behind, and his legs too were tied up.On seeing them, he began to make a muffled sound.His eyes widened in fear as he sighted Drex."You will tell me all I want to know or you are dead" Drex stated.The man shook his head and groan

"Hello boss, we have sighted our suspected target but she's gone" Gustavo breathe heavily into the phone. His left eye was now parched by his dried blood, the front of his ash-colored shirt heavily soaked by it too."What do you mean he is gone, you imbecile!" raved Xavier from the other end. Gustavo pulled the phone away from his ears as his boss's loud screechy voice emanated from it."Sorry boss, we ran into a little bit of a situation and..." He was about to say but was cut short "Shut that gutter you call a mouth, up!! What do you mean by 'situation' huh? You bunch of incompetent lazy fools. I should have known that you and your men are not capable of pulling this off. How can a mere weak bone girl outsmart two of you and the others outside!? Tell me!" Xavier barked furiously on the phone."So...I'm deeply sorry boss, we will not disappoint you next.." He was about to say but the now impatient Xavier wouldn't allow him to."There is no next time! You and your men. Call off your o

"What do you mean by confirmation of the Mason's home?" Asked Mrs Donovan for help irritated by the so many questions that the policeman who had phoned the Mason residence kept asking.She was even more mad at him because he just told her that their master had been involved in an accident but wouldn't tell her where."Please disclose the scene and we'd get there right away, stop wasting time with your unnecessary questions" she fired at him at last, unable to keep her cool any longer."Madam how dare y..." Then the line went dead."Hey!" Mrs. Donovan yelled into the receiver."Son-of-a-bi..." She was about to say but quickly stopped herself as she glance around her. It will be unwise on her part to let her lesser workers hear her curse like that.She cleared her throat uneasily. They all stood staring wide-eyed at Mrs. Donovan.As far as they are concerned, Mrs. Donovan just unleashed a really scary side of her that none of them had ever seen.Mrs Donovan hung her head feeling a bit a

Ava woke up to bright morning rays falling over her face through the window adjacent to the bedShe tried to open her eyes but squinted due to the light which was too strong for her eyes.After a while, she tried opening them again, slowly. A splitting headache threatened to break her skull open. Where is she? She wondered. A strong familiar smell wafted through the air to her nose. Cami lo papa.She tried to sit up immediately but memories of all that had happened the night before came rushing back to her."Ouch," she cried out, falling back into the bed again as the pounding in her head wouldn't stop.She glanced around. Nothing has changed much. Everything was almost as she had known them but for the slight difference in the scanty furniture arrangement.The old grey armchair still stood by the corner. It looks quite worn out than before, with many several holes.The mini-size table made of wood and metal which is gradually corroding still sat right there before the table.She not

This chapter is a prelude to what happened before Ava encountered Mother-General in the orphanage home.Drexel POV"Where the f*ck did this bitch tossed her phone" I cursed under my breath, frustrated to the bone marrow.I have no idea where Ava is. Tyler is losing consciousness slowly. And I am gradually losing my sanity.My phone buzzed. I flipped it over and check the screen "I WILL BE THERE IN A JIFFY" the popped-up notification read.I inhaled deeply. Before I breathe out, the phone began to ring."Yes Doc," I said coldly into the phone."Sorry, I had a little work to tidy up, but I am done right now and on my way as we speak," Amelia said from the other side.I grunted a reply."Are you hurt!?" She added quickly.I brought the phone down and hung up. Not that I did not hear the question.I normally do not entertain such pep talk with virtually everyone.I find it even offensive that she dared to ask me in such an informal manner.The car got to the front of my mega villa and cam
