***In the city***The mayor halted, baffled. He skimmed the face of the guard who had just stepped into his front and stopped him from going further into the governor's office.His eyes met the deep, unflinching eyes of the guard. Then he saw that he was not the regular governor's guard he was familiar with. "What's this?" The mayor asked, trying to control every ounce of hostility in his voice."Who are you? What business do you have here?" The guard was still looking down on the mayor, with a straight face. He was about two feet taller than the mayor and had super large shoulders that perfectly complemented his height."I bet you don't know how to read for asking me this question," the mayor could no longer control his anger. How could a mere guard stop him? Wasn't it embarrassing? To be stopped by a guard?The guard didn't flinch. He stood still in the mayor's front. "If you don't answer my questions I'll have no problem throwing you out of the building.""I'm Mr Guano," the mayor

"Killing two birds with a stone. If bringing down those woods will fix this mess then I don't mind burning down the whole forest. Announce that I have an announcement to make right now please." He settled into his chair and whirled around. This was exactly what happens when the universe is with you, opportunities present themselves to you, he thought. The universe has always proven to be on his side because whenever things were going sour and out of hand something just happened and he's out and free again.He picked the cell phone up and called Kelvin to inform him. "Hello, Kel!!!... Fine. She's fine. We're all fine… yes. Kel, Samuel called me to order the deforestation of the southern part of the forest. I was confused too man… huh?! Then he said he's found out the person who killed Abigail and wants to go on them."The mayor stopped to listen to what Kelvin was saying before he spoke again. "I don't think he knows that. Moreover, there's no way he's going to find you… that's true.

Somewhere in a bar at night, Kelvin was sitting before a group of strippers who were dancing on the bar pole as the different party colours twinkled around the airtight room. He was completely not interested in the display before him. He had been trying hard to keep himself away from the nostalgic feeling that had been trying to take over him. But the club doesn't seem to be the answer to his problem. After about three hours in the club, he was still not feeling any better.He loathed this particular mood he was in right now. Wasn't it possible to just live and forget about the past?Though It was true that the past shaped the future but fuck it! His own past was trying to wreck his future. These memories were like symbols sculpted on a rock in his mind. The more he tried to wash them away the more he found himself getting hurt.Of all places, why have his memories chosen a rock when the memories could have written themselves at a riverbank for the tide to wash them away? He drunken

"What do you want to know?" He finally gave in with a grunt.David's lips curled negligibly into a smile. They had finally gotten him where they wanted. Now it was time for James to get the words out of Kelvin's stomach piece by piece. David wouldn't have minded if James would let him do the questioning but…James unbuttoned the two upper buttons of his shirt, he then flipped the collar outside and bent over to begin after he had taken a moment to ponder the perfect question, to begin with. "Where did you get the information from?" James requested, keeping his eyes on Kelvin. David spun the knife-cutter in his hand like a jester in performance. "He meant who told you everything you know… about us?" Kelvin eyed David, raking his eyes from his head to toe. His inspection of David didn't last more than a split second. Suddenly, the angry look on his face changed into something else- mockery. "Your team member, Kayla, told me everything I wanted to know in exchange for my time and aff

James's POV Jason had left after making me understand that there was nothing medically wrong with Lorraine.He tapped me tightly on my shoulder as I heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at him.Jason was about five feet seven tall. With squinty eyes that nearly close when he smiles.I had known him since when he was straight. He had moved from that to being bisexual and now, was gay.I don't even want to think about what happened between Jason and I.Yuck…! How could he even think about it? But I'm not as angry as I was back then now that I remember it. It was all funny to me now. ****I was sitting, thinking about what exactly might be wrong with Lorraine and why she had lost consciousness.Suddenly, Ellie came to my mind again, I don't know why Ellie keeps coming to my mind. I have a strong feeling she knew what was happening, I just don't know why she's not telling me anything.I grabbed my phone and called Ellie again, after about a few seconds of the receiver whistling whirring
