Kimberly brought out a pan of freshly baked muffins from the oven,and carried it to the display glass where she was arranging the hot pastries when the door opened.She turned to their new customer and said.“Welcome to Angel’s bakery. How may I help you?”“I’ll like a cake.”“What’s the occasion?”Kimberly inquired.“My daughter’s seventh year birthday.”“That’s nice. We have some freshly baked cakes of different sizes and shapes in our catalogs. Please come with me.”She said while leading the slightly overweight woman in her late thirties to the cake section.After browsing for a while, the woman picked a medium sized naked cake in the shape of a heart, which Kimberly carried to the dressing table.“What color of frosting should I use?”She asked the customer.“White. With pink writings”“Alright.”She immediately set to work, moving the icing can with dexterity as she beautifully coated the cake. Twenty minutes later, she was done, with it.Yellow star candy was sprinkled on it, w

EIGHT MONTHS AGO Kimberly shivered slightly as the harsh cold wind blew relentlessly, but she continued following in the footsteps of the Afghanistan local who acted as their guide through the mountains to their rendezvous point. Behind her was sergeant Oscar, her closest friend in her unit who was also a sniper.“Are you getting tired?”She teased him.“Hell no.”The Texan replied with his southern drawl. Kimberly was not finding it easy herself. Hiking at a fast pace while carrying full military gear on a steep terrain for over four hours was not a small feat.Rather she gathered her strength and continued moving. The only thing that would stop her was if she dropped dead. Being one of the few females in the marines meant that she was constantly looked down on by some of the chauvinists in her unit. The constant need to always prove herself was what made her develop a thick skin both physically and emotionally.At the same time, being the only female

Kimberly entered Luis’ mansion for the first time and took in the splendor of the aesthetics. The interior decorators had done a great job planning this party.The building was a gothic styled house with golden chandeliers hanging on its high ceilings,purple Persian rugs adorned the floor, white marbles decorated the walls and a dining table made of mahogany with golden candle stands were some of the things she took note of when entered the building.The man sure had taste and was a lover of luxury. One of the waiters offered her a glass of champagne from his tray which she took a sip from while looking around the small crowd of about forty people for the celebrant. She took a walk across the hall towards the back of the mansion where there was a transparent wall made of glass which made the pool outside visible from where she stood.A man in suit was patrolling the perimeter of the compound. In her experience, a little bulge at the edge of the jacket meant he was

Bryan entered the DEA’s building, greeting several of his colleagues as he made for his office. He was almost at his office door when his phone chimed.He opened the message which read.‘Crucial meeting at the conference room by 8:30am’It was from Ben, the Agent in charge of the Atlanta’s DEA division.Bryan entered his tidy office, removed his jacket and opened his drawer to bring out a file filled with several short notes he had written on the Italian mafia. He was engrossed with what he was doing that he did not realize when his partner got to his office door.“Hey.”Jamal called out to him.“Hey man, come in. How long have you been standing out there?”“Just got here now.”Jamal said as he entered the office and took a seat.“How are you holding up? I heard about what happened to your daughter.”“I’m fine. It’s my wife I’m worried about. She was up all night crying her eyes out.”“I’m so sorry man.”“Thanks a lot.”“You could use some rest too. You look tired.”Bryan said after

Khalil and his childhood friend, Ayo were almost done breaking down the last brick of cocaine for the day when there was a knock at the door.“Yo! Reduce the volume.”Big Trey instructed.Khalil immediately went to the boom box speaker, and turned the control dial in an anti-clockwise direction.There was a knock again. Much louder this time.“Go see who’s there.”Big Trey said to Khalil who immediately went to the door, and peeped through the hole before he opened it and went outside, the door behind him.“What are you looking for?”He asked the woman standing in front of him.“I’m looking for Maureen. She texted me this place as her address.”“There’s no one bearing that name here.”“What about your neighbors?”“The landlord evicted everyone.”The woman looked at him suspiciously, then he added“My mum and I will be moving anytime from now.”“Okay. Thanks for your help.”She said as she made for the stairs.‘That was a close one.’Khalil thought.He entered the Crib and took a seco
