Chapter 31

Quinton's Angels Assemble!It's the end of the day. Amanda, Jocelyn and Kimberly gathered at the entrance of Quinton Tower. It's time to get back at Jocelyn's abusive ex boyfriend for hurting her with a pipe. No one harms a Quinton Consortium employee and gets away with it. Before meeting at the entrance, Jocelyn made a call to her ex boyfriend Mike. She faked repentance over the phone and convinced him to meet her at a nearby abandoned construction site.All three ladies were about to set off when an SUV pulled up in front of them.They were surprised and puzzled at the same time. Who is stopping them?The side window then rolled down and the ladies were surprised to see the driver inside.....Owen Beck."Mr Beck. Wha...." Amanda was at a loss of words."Take it easy, ladies. Young Quinton told me aboutyour plans for tonight. I'm just your security and driver." replied Owen."Mr Beck, no disrespect; but this is not worthy an issue for you to even bother about, much less help us." s

"You.....B****!" Mike muttered to himself. He saw that Amanda, Jocelyn, Kimberly and Owen had their backs turned on him as they made their way to their SUV.Taking his chance, Mike reached for a pocket knife in his back pocket. He intended to stab at least one of them."LOOK OUT!"Before Mike could attack, he felt an arm grab his wrist holding the knife and another arm squeezing around his neck. Next thing he knew, Mike was caught in choke hold and was unconscious in thirty seconds.Quinton's Angels and Owen turned around to see Mike on the concrete pavement, choked out with knife in hand. They then saw someone in a black hooded jacket standing over a fallen Mike. That same person took the knife away from Mike's hand."Is everyone alright?" asked the person in the hooded jacket."Yes we are fine. Thank you. Is Mike OK?" asked Owen."He'll live. We should call the police." replied the person."I agree. Kimberly, call Chief Martin. Send him your recording while you are at it." instruct

Bright and early the next morning, Derek's office was crowded. Derek had called for a meeting involving Amanda, Owen and the newest member of the Quinton Consortium, Desmond. "Ok everyone. I'm sure we are all relieved that the Mike issue is resolved. Now let's move to more important matters at hand." began Derek."Firstly, Desmond, let me officially welcome you to Quinton Consortium. Sign this employment contract and take your place as Head of Security." said Derek as he passed the contract to Desmond.With a new level of humility and gratitude, Desmond took a pen and signed on the dotted line, before passing the contract to Amanda."I'm humbled to be a part of this wonderful company. A dream come true for me; but I know the journey has just begun." said Desmond. Derek smiled, "Ever since I've taken over the Townsville side of our family consortium, I have yet to really assemble a team of my own. I want this team to be my eyes and ears for Townsville.""I already have Amanda, my sec

Evening approached as Desmond entered Derek's office to report his findings. "Hi Desmond. Let's hear your reports." said Derek. "Let me start with our ex-boss." began Desmond. "What Mr Owen and I found out was this gang hired is some low ranking gang, nothing compared to the Mafia level; and get this...Mike is a part of that gang.""Who knew." replied Derek. "So what are your plans?""I had help from Mr Owen to assemble our team to take out that gang before your event next week. We plan to take them down tomorrow night." reported Desmond."I wonder....do we really need to wipe them out?" Derek thought aloud. "If you were me, Desmond, what would you do?""These guys are still young. Putting them in jail would not help them. If we can convince them to join us and be our underground eyes and ears, they can benefit and so would we." replied Desmond."Good idea. Here's the plan...by tomorrow evening, capture every single member of that gang and bring them to the abandoned construction si

Steph brought bottles of water to Derek, Desmond and Wayne before returning to her work."Wayne. What happened to your leg?" asked Desmond. "I sprained it. It happened about a week ago." replied Wayne."Care to share more?" asked Derek.Wayne was hesitant to share anymore with Derek around. He felt awkward having been one of the people who constantly mocked and bullied Derek. Desmond saw what was going on and interjected."Wayne,, no need to worry. Derek is on our side. He managed to get me a job at Quinton Tower. He works there too." said Desmond. "That's right, Wayne. We are colleagues now. Desmond told me about what happened after I was fired. Even if you see that as karma, that should be enough karma for one to take." added Derek."Can I trust you guys? My life is actually in danger." pleaded Wayne. "You can trust us." replied Desmond. "Ok then. It wasn't a sprain. It was worse than that." began Wayne. "Derek, I'm sure Desmond told you about how our ex-boss had his gang secu

Derek received a message on his phone. He took it out and saw a message from Owen.'Per your request, Young Quinton, everyone has been captured and are now at that abandoned construction site. I've sent Hector to pick you up at the Quinton Tower.'Derek texted back 'Understood Owen. I'll see you there.' Derek then sent his own to Desmond, informing Desmond the meeting location. By the time Desmond saw the message on his phone, he had already admitted Wayne to the hospital and settled the necessary paperwork. Upon seeing Derek's message, Desmond then went back into Derek's Mercedes and drove off.Amanda, having seen Jocelyn's message, went to Jocelyn's apartment, three levels below her penthouse, to keep Jocelyn and Kimberly company.Derek arrived at the abandoned construction site, where Owen was waiting. "Hi Owen. Thanks for your help." greeted Derek. "Is there anyone else we are waiting for, Young Quinton?" asked Owen."Yes. Desmond is on his way." replied Derek. Five minutes l

There is one week remaining before the Quinton Consortium throws the dinner party event at Townsville Convention Center to announce the winning bid to lead the rebuild of BDT mall and the build of Quinton Consortium's new beach resort off the coast of Townsville. The submission deadline had long passed, which means there are no more submissions to be entertained. It is the weekend in the Smith household; and everyone's morale was expectedly high. Everyone except, surprisingly, Charles.Even Madison noticed Charles's sour mood in the dining room as the family was having breakfast."What's wrong, Charles? You look like someone broke your favourite toy with that scrunched up face of yours." said Madison."Shut up, Maddy! I'm not in the mood for your jokes!" Charles barked back, stunning Madison for a moment."Charles!! Madison in just asking you a harmless question. No need to be so rude! Apologise to her!" Charles's father, Dave ordered.Charles didn't want to apologise initially; but

That same morning, Derek woke up bright and early in his room. He was going through his morning exercise routine; but was more sombre than usual.There was something Derek wanted to do on this particular weekend; and he wanted to get it done bright and early.Furthermore, later in the night, he had to execute his plan involving Desmond, Owen and his father Peter Quinton. So the morning was the best time to run this special errand.He joined his parents Peter and Lea in the dining room for breakfast as usual. Peter and Lea noticed the slight difference in his body language."Morning, son. Is something wrong?" asked Lea."Morning, mum. I'm ok. No need to worry." replied Derek. "You don't look as ok as before. Do you want to share it with us? Just to get it off your chest." asked Peter."Rest assured, dad. It's nothing that is detrimental to any of us. With that said, there is something I want to do this morning." replied Derek."What is it, son? Do you need our help?" asked Lea."Not e

Poisoned? That word struck a chord with the Quinton family. They found it too hard to believe.From Derek's point of view, he always thought his adopt parents Edward and Emma died of a sickness. How was it that they were poisoned?"You better have a thorough explanation for this!!!" Peter warned Dr Crestwell. "Start talking!!" Lea commanded."Derek, the day your parents...I mean adopt parents died, I did a mandatory autopsy to find out their cause of death." began Dr Crestwell. "When the autopsy was completed, I found quantitative amounts of what I thought were blood clots in their bloodstream. When I did further tests, I found out it was not clots. It was poison."Derek was getting more upset as Dr Crestwell continued his explanation. "I went to the Smith household, intending to report my findings to the whole family. Instead, Madam Louise ordered me to go to her study and report my findings to her alone.""I did what she requested. When she heard my reports, she was not saddened

It was a rare occasion. The Smith family had a whole weekend to themselves to spend as a family...minus the loser Derek.The whole family was happily shopping around in BDT mall. For the most part, they were looking for suits and dresses for the Quinton Consortium event happening in a week's time. As Madison walked along the shops in the mall, she noticed that NL Suits and JL boutique were closed for the day.She already knew, of course. Nick had informed her about his parents' wedding anniversary. Madison took a peek at the dresses placed at the display window of JL boutique. In her mind, as nice as they were, she was still happy about the yellow gold dress she bought previously. She was still looking at those dresses that she didn't notice Chloe and Juri approach from behind her and jump scare her."Hey Sis! What are you looking at?!?" asked Chloe.Madison thought she was going to have a heart attack. "OMG!! What the hell are you two doing scaring me like that!!" Madison retorte
