Saint had to adjust his hearing to the sound of the music blowing not too loudly but just too inconvenient for his type of life. Nicolas had insisted that they both went out that night rather than locking themselves both in the house to work and even though he had resisted, Nicolas ended up forcing him along. Nicolas led the way inside while he followed a step behind with his mask secured firmly in place. The dim light cast clearly on the spot where Aaron had claimed for himself before their arrival and when he saw them, he whistled, drawing their attention by the waving of his hand. "There he is." Aaron rose from his booth, arms already in easy greeting. "You must be Storm. I've heard plenty." "This is Aaron." Nicolas gestured between them. "We've known each other since high school. He is the closest thing I've got to a family outside of everything else." "I am pleased to finally meet you." Aaron extended a hand, studying Saint with genuine curiosity. "I've heard about you

It wasn't even up to ten hours since the rescue happened, yet the news had spread through the city like wildfire by morning. Reporters had camped outside the hospital, headlines were blaring across every channel about the shocking abduction of a young journalist and the leaked recording that was likely to implicate a political figure who was actively involved in the ongoing campaign. Simon had been caught off guard by the whole situation because he had made sure not to alert the reporters so how they suddenly got a whiff of it and turned it upside down was beyond his comprehension. He stood stiffly in front of a cluster of cameras with a pressed uniform and his expression carefully neutral despite the chaos of flashing lights and shouted questions around him. "Inspector Simon, can you confirm the recording obtained from the victim implicates the politician directly?" "I can confirm a recording was recovered, yes but we won't be playing it or giving much information about the

CHAPTER 44.*****WHO IS THAT?Mike paced near the window with his phone pressed to his ear, waiting. "Anything?" Saint asked with his arms crossed, watching him from across the room. "Nothing yet. He should've either called back by now or at least answered. It's been days already and he hasn't given us feedback on what's going on over there." Mike frowned and decided to dial again.This time, the call connected. "Simon?" Mike's voice brightened immediately. "Hey, what's going on? You are yet to get back to me..."He stopped short, his expression shifting fast from hopeful to disbelief. "Huh?" He looked at his big brothers. "Wait, what do you mean dismissed?" His grip tightened on the phone. "They can't just...that's insane...no wait, Simon, listen, you did the right thing..." There was more silence as Simon spoke on the other end. Mike's face grew increasingly agitated with every passing second. "No. No, absolutely not, I'm coming over right now." Mike was alrea

"...and as this story continues to develop, questions remain about the identity of Elena Voss, a woman connected to mayoral candidate Peter Halloway through a leaked audio recording that has since gone viral overnight across every major platform in Kingsport. Sources close to the investigation suggest that he had kidnapped the journalist because she asked about Elena Voss and from the alleged words spoken in that recording, it seems there is a need to know who Elena Voss is..."Dominic muted the television with a satisfied click of the remote, leaning back in his chair with a slow smile spreading across his face at the same time. "Now would you look at that!" He glanced toward Vincent, seated across him with a drink in hand. "The man's entire campaign is crumbling in real time."Vincent chuckled slowly. He was beyond pleased. He took a sip while nodding. "I told you Storm would handle it. That boy doesn't fail." "You did say that." Dominic raised his glass slightly in acknowl

The sizzling sound from the can of beer broke the silence in the sitting room. Nicolas passed one to Saint who was across him while he took the other and sipped from it. "Do your parents know about you being gay?" Saint asked, adjusting his mask well. Nicolas took a large gulp almost instantly and wiped his mouth with the back of his palm. "Not really. I have never acted like I was interested in men and in general, I'd never expressed interest in romantic relationships publicly because I knew at the end of the day, I would still have to follow the wishes of my father as regards marriage." Nicolas replied truthfully. His answer stung Saint's heart a little. "I guess that is the life we are made of. I remember someone telling me some times back when I informed him about someone I liked." He paused and drank from his can while Nicolas waited for him to continue. Their eyes met for a minute before Saint continued. "He said falling in love, having someone to call your own
