Two Years Later…At Grenntech Logistics, Adrian looked at the time in a meeting while the Junior operation manager went through his powerpoints.“And if we secure the Zambezi contract before the end of the quarter, our numbers should push us into record breaking margin for Q2.”Adrian barely looked at the pie chart on the screen as he wondered when the meeting was ending.“As you ca see, our freight volumes from Durban port have stabilized since the last update which means-“Adrian got up. “I am so sorry. I am going to ask to be excused. Nigel, great job, you can finish this off and we will do a one on one base touch next week. Have a good day.”He walked out taking out his phone then called his PA headed to his car.“Sir..”“Hey, is everything in order?”“Yes. The deco guys just finished up. Its all looking beautiful.”He smiled. “Thanks a lot.”“The guest should be arriving just now. Will you be picking Mrs Vale from the airport or?”“Her friend will be picking her up.”“Uh Anaya St

Daisy tearfully looked at him shaking.“Adrian..”“I want you to start again.”She broke down crying. “Adrian-““You'redisrespecting me what happened?”“Adrian please..”She knelt down crying. “Please..”“I want you to start again because I can’t quite hear you.“Babe-““Start again.”Daisy looked at the gun in his hand and swallowed shaking. “I will end the entire thing. I promise.”“That is not what I asked.”Tears rolled down. “Please don’t hurt me. I am sorry.”“You are wasting my time. Who is he?”“I… He is my ex. We met in Brazil. I didn’t have much hope in us. I offloaded all I felt and we became friends. I n ever meant to hurt you.”Adrian stared at her. “You became friends and what?”“We stayed next to each other. One thing led to the other and.. he got me job at the university.”“When did the topic to use the egg come about?”“Shortly after. Baby I am sorry. I will end it. I love you, I have never stopped.”Adrian shook his head. “Tell me what your plan with him is.”“Adri

At Adrian’s house, the security officer waved his hand at the ambulanceThe ambulance drove in and 4 paramedics jumped out.The security officer shouted. “They are inside!”The paramedics rushed in with their bags, a stretcher rolling behind them. Two hurried to Daisy who was still lying motionless on the cold floor in a pool of blood. Her face was now pale. The other two paramedics rushed to Adrian, who was now just lying still with blood soaked into his shirt on his lower abdomen.The male paramedic ripped Adrian’s shirt open and pressed gauze against the wound, trying to control the bleeding while his partner felt for pulse.“Male, thirties. Abdominal gunshot wound, bleeding heavily. Pulse is faint but there. We have got a window.”They set up oxygen masks for the both of them then put them on the stretchers and strapped them in. Adrian moved slightly and the other paramedic looked at him.“He is semi conscious! Hi.. can you hear me? If you can hear me… squeeze me as tight as you

Later that morning, Judith sat in her office at the security company and switched on her computer. She took out her phone and opened her facebook and searched for Adrian.She looked at the trending posts and read through. Daisy’s death seemed to be the highlight of the news. She went through a few posts and sighed. Her death did seem sad but Judith could hardly find the born to care. Adrian being in ICU worried her that a part of her thought of going to see him but deep she knew she was probably the last person he wanted to see if he woke up.She scrolled through the posts and came across one from a retired officer.‘I might be retired but my instincts don’t retire. Whoever attacked this Adrian guy wasn’t a random. Chances are that its someone close to him. Someone who knew what time he’d be home and probably someone who had been inside his house before. My bet? The attacker was there at the wife’s party blending in. The police are not saying much but put 2 and 2 together, the couple

Alex stared at him then sighed.“I am not sure if I’m comfortable with you confessing such things to me. some things just go to the grave with them. You are scaring me right now. But at least you are alive. I was really worried.”“I am good. Thanks. I owe you big time.”Alex stared at him. “I hope one day when I also need you to show me grace, you will do the same.”Alex stared at him. “You don’t even have to ask.”“You never know with these things.”“You can trust me. Have you been checking on Given and the kids?”“Yeah but I do calls only. She has been worried about you. I think it’s the fear of losing you and going back to the life they used to live. Your mother has been coming everyday.”Adrian smiled a little. “She has?”“Yes. I think she’s really genuinely scared of losing you.”A gentle knock made then turn. Miguel slowly opened and smiled.“Damn! You are really alive.”Adrian laughed. “I am.”“They almost took you out.”Alex’s phone rang. He took it out then cleared his throat
