Around 3 pm, during an important meeting with the board members. His phone rang and seeing the caller ID, he adjourned the meeting to next week and excused himself to take the call. He went down, entered his car and drove off. Curiously, Stacy flagged down a taxi and followed him.Knowing how sensitive he can be. He urged the driver to be extremely careful, at the expense of a high charge. He parked his vehicle, walking into an old area. Stacy hastily paid her fare and followed him quietly. He stopped in front of an automotive repair garage. Immediately, Blaze stepped out and Stacy's eyes leapt out, she covered her mouth in extreme shock, adjusting in her hiding space, trying to read the situation. The two walked in and met a young male mechanician. He was busy, working on a car's engine, and wasn't careful to note the people behind him. "Where's Oliver Woodbead?" He turned to speak but saw a gun, pointing at him. He shivered and fell to the ground."What do you want from him?" He ask
Mr Woodbead continued his memory search until he remembered and his eyes dilated. He raised his face to Jason to see his gun at him. "You remember her now? Yes, I was there too. That night, you guys gang-raped her like an animal." Mr. Woodbead swallowed nothing, he fell on his face, with a feeling of remorse. He was the noisiest, whose words were mostly painted with mockery. He literally spiced up the action with his words. His young deadly eyes screamed no mercy, he was so happy he was going to be a part of a rape scheme. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." He placed his finger on the trigger, right at his head. The man shut his eyes, a bit scared. There is no amount of words he would say to clear that young man's mind. His eyes are blood lusted. His heart is caged, he wants revenge. Yes. He mulled over everything and exhaled waiting for his death. "Paapa!""Mr Woodbead!" Two kids ran inside and embraced him tightly while Jason stepped back and lowered his gun."Where's
Matteo was at the dining table, taking his breakfast when his mother joined him. He looked at her and continued with his food without uttering a word. She panicked but calmed herself."Teo dear. How was your night?" Her voice filled with motherly concern, eagerly waiting for her son's reply. Only the clanking of their cutleries followed. She looked around nervously to see if anyone was around, luckily nobody was. Lowering her shoulders, a pang of pain struck her heart. "Do you like the meal-" he cut her flow of words by standing up from the chair, leaving his food. He walked away from the table, making head for the stairs. "Teo, I'm sorry. Please, forgive your mother." She cried and stood behind him. His fingers twitched, his eyes grew teary, and he didn't want to turn back. His feet turned weak, unable to move.He could hear his mother's sobs, he wants to turn and embrace her and say it was ok but the anger in him can't. His feet rose and moved onto the stairs to his room. He sank i
"Hi, Xavier!" Bethany waved with a nervous smile as the man abruptly lowered her hand. Xavier glared at the man and ordered him to release her. He did and returned to his position. The two stared at each other dumbfounded. A lot of questions in Bethany's mind. She broke off eye contact by looking around the unfamiliar environment. Xavier began moving in, leaving her there. She called and followed the only person she knows. "Xavier?""Xavier? Where's this place? Her eyes were still over the environment. Her heartbeat, in chaos. She saw Xavier ahead of her and ran to him.Xavier got to the main building, they were guards too. He passed but Bethany wasn't allowed to go in by the men. "Let her in." He ordered and she hurriedly walked in. Xavier got to his room and Beth followed him. "And what are you doing here?" He asked angrily immediately the door was shut, shaking her by holding her shoulders."I...I saw you by the roadside." She stuttered. Her fingers twitched and her gaze on the f
Jason stood up abruptly and walked to the door. "I'm not done with you, Woodbead. Let's wait for another day." Woodbead nodded and he scurried off. The kids ran inside engulfing him into a warm hug. "Paapa!" The little one cried. "I'm ok, I told you I was ok." He said and lifted him to his lap. The other two stared at him observing whether anything happened to him. "Let's go take dinner." He stood up with the little boy, heading for the dining table, he turned to the door, thinking about everything that just happened.Jason got to his house to see it scattered, many items were on the floor, and the windows were broken. Without wasting time, he took a lot of guns and pocket knives, before looking at his outfit, ignoring it and walking away. "Oh, shit!" Stacy was pushed into a room. Stone locked it and the others left.Xavier stopped behind him and spoke up. "Leave Stacy to me, I want to handle Jason myself." Stone turned to him. "This is business, not some time to ease your anger at J
Jason made his way across the room, his eyes shooting lasers. Some men ran inside to stop him but got shot before they could even get to him. Where is Stacy? "Matteo?" She looked into his eyes, unsure of what to feel. Happy? Or Scared? She leaned back to the wall, her gaze on the floor. He watched how her countenance changed and scoffed. Then his eyes moved from her face to her injured spots including her sole. He blinked and loomed over her, carrying her in a bridal style. "Oh." She mouthed and nervously tilted her face to Matteo whose face was strangely calm. "Hold my neck, so you won't fall." She bobbed her head and off they went.****************A man groaned and rolled off the ground. Stone's men backed away as they saw the man lying motionless, wondering if he was dead. They lifted their faces to see Blaze and other men behind her. She smirked and cracked her knuckles. "Guys, let's kick their ass'es." She told them, charging toward Stone's men with Matteo's men.Blaze launche
The harshness of the light had him blinking, Xavier darted his weak eyes to see a white bedsheet up above his chest. Wide-eyed, he shifted and yanked it off him. An IV needle was stuck into his wrist... And then he finally realised he was on a hospital bed in a ward. His lid lowered and he saw a head resting beside the bed. He blinked several times, trying to remember what happened before now until Bethany raised her face and drifted into a gentle smile. "You are awake." She yawned and leaned forward while he moved backwards. He shut his eyes and exhaled. "How long have I been here?""A night.""A night... and you didn't sleep here, did you?" He said this lowering his legs to the floor. Bethany ignored the question, of course, she slept. She stood up to leave and call a doctor when he gripped her hand. "Who brought me here?"She scratched her nape nervously, attempting to find words to reply. "Your brother did..." He loosened his grip, unsure of the emotions that ran through him,
Jason pulled out a chair and sat down, facing his laptop. He dug his hands into his pocket to take out a flash drive. Staring blankly at it and turning it around his fingers, he inserted it into the laptop. It was the video of the day, Crystal died. How did he get the video?FLASHBACKWhile on the ground, groaning at the pain he was feeling, he saw a clip laying on the floor. The clip was a few inches away from Stone's leg. Jason crawled and got up to his leg. He gripped it when Stone made to run in and stylishly dragged the clip as well as sand and dirt into his fist."Don't go in, we are not done yet." He said. Stone kicked away his grip and ran into his office while he lowered his face to the ground so tired and relieved.***********It began to display on the screen but a scene he wasn't shown then, popped up first. It turned out the clip was shortened before. Dark under the tunnel was a man, who pulled the trigger and shot the same time Jason had shot. The plan was to make a vid
