The four finally pulled into town with Joshua constantly looking over at Julia via the rear view mirror. Nobody had said a word to the other ever since they took off and they were just but glad to pull over outside the grocery shop to do their business
"Call me once you are done." he said to the two who nodded their way out of the car. Helen gave a sigh of relief once they took off glad to finally be alone with Joshua
"Who is she?" she asked after a moment of silence
"Who..?"
"The girl...the blind girl. You two looked cozy earlier." Joshua smirked as he wheeled the car to a turn
"Julia.Her name is Julia and she is the most annoying person i have ever met." he said making Helen laugh
"But why though? She looks like an innocent blind girl."
"I sometimes wonder is she truly blind, and trust me there is nothing innocent about that prick!"
*******
"So what are we buying?"
"Anything...and everything."
The door creaked open revealing a concentrated Raymond. Upon lifting his eyes he met the two gentlemen who were hell-bent on making his life miserable. Faking a smile, he got to his feet and exchanged a handshake with his so called future father inlaw"You look really busy Raymond.""No no its nothing sir, do have a sit please." he offered after the deadly stare from his father"Your father was telling me about how hard you have been working ever since taking over, i am glad i chose this company to work with.""We try sir, and we will never dissappoint.""Well said, you truly have a good one here Richard." he said to Raymond's father who grinned like there was no tomorrow"I hope you are also ready to be my son in law soon. I trust my daughter will be safe with you." Raymond swallowed hard before responding"Ofcourse. I will always make her happy.""I trust you will Raymond, i trust you will...I will let you c
Timothy walked into Richard's office hurriedly upon being called"You called sir.""Lock the door and sit." he said while clicking a button on his laptop and Lucas popped up on the screen"Tell us.""Kenneth has a secret cargo travelling to the East in two nights. My men are not sure about whats inside but whatever it is its illegal.""How sure are you about that?" asked Timothy"Its heavily guarded, and nobody is allowed to touch it. Even the driver of the ship does not know whats inside only a few if not just one man on guard knows what it is.""What does it look like?""Its a tank. My men managed to send me a picture check your phones i am very sure something really catchy is inside. Richard sir, this is the chance we have been waiting for we cant miss it.""Thank you Lucas i will keep you on the loop." he cut the call his gaze shifting to Timothy"I have waited for this for five full ye
Joshua peeped from a distance at what was happening by the sea shore. Several men stood ready to leave and a huge private ship floated in the waters all ready to go. Crawling closer to take a good look and possibly hear what was happening, a figure in a work suit being accompanied by two other men approached the others and said unheard words which ended in a handshake. Recording the whole scenario on his phone, he realised who the man in the work-suit was, it was his target Kenneth and he knew he had to strike else he would fail his mission and possibly never get to know the mastermind behind the bombing that wiped out his entire family"Hey Romeo lets go!" one of the men called out as they got into the ship while Kenneth stood by the shore bidding them farewell. Joshua watched as the Romeo guy approached the ready to sail ship then released a bullet which pierced through his neck killing him instantly. That was when the mayhem started as Kenneth tried to navigate his escape
Groaning in frustration, Joshua pulled himself to his feet and looked at the dead man before him. He had him, he was moments away from getting his answer but no, one small mistake had cost him and he was back to square one. A gunshot then sounded making him remember what he had left behind. He then ran back to the ship and upon arriving the ship had been driven back to the shore and the door flung open revealing a number of young women flocking out one after the other. He walked over to help them out of the ship and that was when it dawned on him that they were the cargo, Kenneth was trafficking them away"Come on let me help you." he said to one who seemed hesitant to take his hand, "Its okay i wont harm you, you are safe now." the girl stretched out her shaky hand and Joshua helped her out. It took him a while to get the girls out of the ship before the real hero appeared and like him the person's face was half covered"You must be A.S.1. It was nice working wi
Tapping her way into the house Amanda enveloped her in a hug both of them almost taking to the floor"You are hurting me!" said Julia in between giggles but Amanda would not let go till a moment later"Do you know how worried i was? Why were you not picking my calls Raymond just left he was worried too!""Relax okay?" she said locking the door and walking in, "The bus died down and it took over three hours for them to fix it i am so hungry what are we eating?""Food? You better call Raymond right now poor guy is worried sick..! Wait is that blood on your dress?" said Amanda looking closer"I happened to nose bleed because of the heat its nothing worrisome. You shouldn't worry so much i can take care of myself more than you know Mandy. Now can i get something to eat?""Not before you call Raymond. Call him and i will get you your food." she said heading into the kitchen leaving Julia dialing Raymond's number. She looked over at worried Amanda
Days flew by fast with the police trying to dig in more into the Kenneth issue, Helen trying to figure out her master plan and the two friends figuring out how to keep the marriage as private as they could. The plan was to make Joshua pretend to be Raymond for as long as he can but that had Joshua laughing loud and asking the ultimate question"What happens on the wedding night?" he asked at some point when they were out for a drink at the club"I will kill you if you touch her." he snapped making Joshua laugh again."You do know that this plan is lame right?""I know, more please." he said to the bartender already looking drunk. It was final Joshua was driving them home that night. In two nights he was getting married all thanks to friendship and there was nothing he was going to do about it.****"You are quite generous Julia. If i were you i would never have agreed to a court wedding, not when i am marrying a loaded man like Raymond
Helen woke up the next morning head pounding and unable to remember most of the happenings of the previous night. As she tried to recall more the contents of her stomach flew right back threatening to spill out and it was then that she ran into the bathroom to vomit. Spitting out the venom she recalled pacing upstairs and entering the study finding Joshua cozily sitted by his study table scrolling down his phone. She did remember giving him the spiked juice but how come she was the one who passed out? Dragging herself out of the bathroom she walked in on her ringing phone but ignored it seeing that it was Timothy. She was beyond frustrated, how could such a brilliant plan fail? Dragging herself back into the bathroom she took a quick bath then paced out to go look for Joshua******All alone, Julia woke up the earliest feeling both nervous and excited, although she was getting married in secret atleast she was marrying the love of her life and the fact that it was sudd
A number of shiny black cars pulled over by the police station before a number of men in similarly black suits walked out to open the door for a smiling Richard. He walked out of the car and was embraced by numerous clicking sounds of cameras and journalists trying to get an insight for their stories. Squeezing his way past them his guards helped get him into the police station smoothly to meet anxious prosecutor Dylan Shumba"Minister sir...thank you for availing yourself. To my office please." he said leading a reluctant Richard to the office by the corner where he settled down at the back of his mind calculating his answers"I heard you were looking for me at the office prosecutor. Ensure that never happens again you caused a scene.""Well i am sorry sir, i can say i was just doing my job.""Just ensure it never happens again." he said firmly, tone full of threat"I would like to ask you a few questions sir in regards to the death of Kenneth Khe
