Xavier stood there and looked over Frieda’s body.“What were you thinking huhh?…..I had wanted to give you a painless death, I guess you got it,” Xavier said.“Get rid of her quietly,” Xavier ordered the other man and he did as he was told.Xavier approached Marve now.“Directly from the boss huhh??” Xavier said to Marve but he didn’t say a word.“Well while you’re under my watch……you only report and respond to me, I alone am your boss! Now is that clear?” Xavier asked.“Yes sir,” Marve said.“Have that treated or it’ll infest,” Xavier said as he picked up his jacket and they all exited the lodge.**********************************************************Detective Garrett was done with work and was home now. He had been expecting a call from Frieda as regards the auctioning she went for with her new client but yet there was no call from her. Detective Garrett deemed it that she was probably caught up with other things and decided to not overthink it. But then two days passed and yet

“You must be her uncle Karl, your number was the only emergency contact we found in her wallet……I’ll give you both some time” the morgue attendant said and exited the room. Detective Garrett began to sob in pain and deep hurt.“I’m so sorry pumpkin….I’m so sorry I wasn’t there to protect you….I’m so sorry, please wake up and say something. I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry” Detective Garrett kept saying as he ran his hands over her face, still unable to believe that his only niece and relative left was gone. “How you must have felt all alone and scared pumpkin…..I shouldn’t have let you go, I shouldn’t have let you go” Detective Garret kept muttering as he held her body in his arms and wept profusely. Just then the pen recorder fell out of Frieda’s pocket and Detective Garrett remembered he gave it to her and then held onto it instead as he wailed while holding her body. After a couple of long minutes with his niece, Detective Garret was finally able to let go of her body for the morgue

“I’ll explain when I am done with all of this,” Detective Garrett said.“What do you mean when you are done with all of this?… what exactly are you getting into Karl?” Detective Mike asked.“I just need you to trust me Mike, can you do that?” Detective Garrett asked.Detective Mike sighed but deep down he knew that he wasn't going to get Detective Garrett speak up about the sudden transfer. “Fine, I'll trust you and hope that you get to the bottom of whatever it is you're pursuing,” Detective Mike said. *********************************************************Back To The Present “That one call made everything come crumbling down,” Detective Garrett said.“I'm really sorry about Frieda, I had no idea you had this deep reason behind all of this,” the informant said.“I have been on this case for a while now and getting concrete evidence against the Blackwoods is my utmost priority” Detective Garrett said. “And I am happy to help with whatever you need,” the informant said.“Thank y

Walker prepped the chopper as he was told as he stayed by it until Julian’s arrival. Julian finally got to the helipad.“Good morning sir…….I wasn't aware of this trip, I would have prepped things earlier” Walker said.“Its fine Walker….have you notified Stronach of my coming?” Julian said as he tapped him on the shoulder and then threw his back pack into the chopper.“Yes sir, there will be a pick up car at the border……is there any task you'd like me to perform while you are away sir?” Walker asked.“Just keep your eyes on Xavier, we can't have him making any sudden moves” Julian said. “Will do sir” Walker said.“You are going to be taking orders from Fred and keep him updated cause he'll be the closest to you” Julian said as he got into the chopper and sat right next to the pilot.The pilot turned on the necessary engines and took off. Just then Frederick walked to the helipad but the chopper had taken off so he only met Walker there.“He’s gone?” Frederick asked.“Yes sir, he took

I sat there in the backseat as we drove fast and past trees, the fresh air up against my face as I inhaled and exhaled. The thought of painting such beautiful scenery occupied my mind and before I could finalize that thought, we had gotten into the city. Bubbling and quite busy but not so busy.We drove past cafes, restaurants, bookshop, art galleries, marts, precincts and every other thing that could be found in a city. We finally arrived at an art gallery and I was quite eager to step in and feed my eyes with artworks and creativity. I had finished admiring the pieces I was attracted to now and I just knew it was time to eat as my stomach had been rumbling.“Can we grab something to eat? I am so hungry right now” I said to Frederick who was still lost in the works of art he had seen.“Yeah sure. I am sorry, I should have made arrangements for that…there is a spot that I visit when I am here” Frederick said as we stepped out and got back inside the car and went to the new location

“But why?……There is no reason for Frederick to do such a thing” I said.“Well there is always a reason behind everything. Why don’t we start with what Mr Blackwood wants with you?” Detective Garrett asked as he sat on the chair while I sat on the bed.“Mr Blackwood? How do you know of Mr Blackwood and how do you know he has anything to do with this?” I asked.“You seem to ask a lot of questions young lady……I found the phone call logs of one of the men that kidnapped you and the last call made was to a number saved as Mr Blackwood, does that answer your question?” Detective Garrett said.“How do you know Mr Blackwood? You haven’t answered that” I said.“How I know Mr Blackwood doesn’t matter…..you know Mr Blackwood but you don’t seem surprised that he sent men to kidnap you, why is that?” Detective Garrett asked curiously.“Because it’s not the first time” I said.“What do you mean? You have been kidnapped before?” Detective Garrett asked.“It’s a long story and I don’t think I have th

Frederick called Mr Blackwood the moment I got carried away.“I’ve done what you wanted, please tell me where my brother is” Frederick said. “ I will tell you where your brother has been moved to. I am a man of my word and a generous one, Julian, might not be so much” Mr Blackwood said and hung up.Frederick later received a text message from Mr Blackwood and it was the location of his younger brother and this was after Mr Blackwood had confirmed my location with the two men before Detective Garrett arrived. Frederick ran into the car and drove off as fast as he could to the location that was sent to him.He finally arrived and it was a private hospital, he went into the hospital and after he asked for the ward number where his brother was moved to, he went straight there and found his brother bedridden with a private caretaker. The caretaker excused herself and left the two brothers. Frederick came closer and sat next to his brother’s bed and held his right hand.“I am sorry, I s

Julian has finally gotten to the border of Russia as the chopper dropped him off there and flew back home as he could not pass through the border without proper means. Just like Stronach said, there was already a pick up ride waiting for Julian at the border the moment.He came down from the chopper with his backpack and walked towards the pick up ride as there was a man waiting by the car.“You must be Mr Julian….I will be the one to drop you off at Mr Stronach’s,” the aide said.“How far is it from here?” Julian asked.“Not far enough to disturb your peace on the journey, shall we?” the aide said as he gestured his hands for Julian to get into the car.Julian got into the car with his back pack and they drove past the border and to Stronach’s. The aide drove for a while and finally we arrived at Stronach’s. Julian and the aide finally got to Stronach’s as he was led into the compound and then to where Stronach was, busy grooming one of his horses. “Ah! my business partner Julian!…

Mr Blackwood was still running away with his injured shoulder, accompanied by one security guard as they met with the back up squad detective Garrett requested for. They rushed over to him and had him arrested along with the men that fought with detective Garrett and Frederick while some came upstairs to where we were and arrested the investors, the pharmacist, the hitman and Marcus. I ran over to Julian the moment I broke away from the hitman’s grip as I held Julian in my arms.“Julian, I am here, look at me” I said as I tapped him gently on the face so he could be conscious.Julian was too weak to say a word as he stretched forth his hand and caressed my cheeks and then became unconscious as though he had been withholding until he touched me before he gave up. I held Julian in my arms and wept and cried until then medics came up to where we were and carried him onto a stretcher and out of the building as I and aunt Melda followed them into the ambulance and drove to the hospital.

Marcus stood there with the gun in his hands and couldn't say a word but as soon as he was about to mention a name, Mr Blackwood cut him short. “Dont worry, I know exactly who is responsible for your mother’s death” Mr Blackwood said.He took Marcus’s hand that held the gun and pointed towards David his father. “There, there…..the man responsible” Mr Blackwood said.Marcus became comsfused as to why the gun was pointed ti his father.“No, no….it can't be my father, its Lexi’s fault that my mother died” Marcus argued.“Of course not! He has been feeding you lies all along, I am sure he can say the same, hmm?” Mr Blackwood said as he looked at David knowing that David was at a stage where he would collect every blame and guilt. “Marcus, I am sorry….. I should have—I should have come clean about everything with you, I am so sorry son” David apologized sincerely.“No, mom wouldn't have died if you had listened to her! All of this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't brought Lexi home!

“Sir, Marcus is at the door” the hitman said. “Let him in” Mr Blackwood said and the hitman let Marcus in.“Where is my son?” Mr Blackwood asked from where he sat.“Sir, he—he escaped and I am sure he is headed here with the detective as we speak, I am sorry sir” Marcus said. “That's okay, that was my plan after all” Mr Blackwood said and this had Marcus confused.“ I don't understand sir” Marcus said.“Why do you think I let you handle Julian?….I knew you weren't up to par to handle him” Mr Blackwood said. Marcus felt inferior and like a failure at this point.“Not to worry, you have other tasks to fulfill” Mr Blackwood said.Suddenly the fourth investor stood.“What is going on here? What is this crap about a detective coming here? Are you trying to pin us all here on purpose and run with our money?” the fourth investor asked as other investors wondered if this was true. “Of course not, you don't have to worry about the detective, he is a minor issue that can be taken care of” M

At last, the day of the event was here. Julian was all ready to head to the address that was sent to him through a message. Detective Garrett came over to the residence as he was aware of the message sent. “Here, this is a tracker. You can have it installed anywhere you want” detective Garrett said and handed over the tracker chip to Julian and he collected it. “I will secretly have your location and tail you without being seen, you have to be careful Julian even though you think he still believes you're his son” detective Garrett said.“I will” Julian said and installed the chip into his shirt pocket and wore a black leather jacket over it. Julian found his way downstairs niw as he was ready to leave to the location, he got into his car and drove off.*******************************************Julian drove to the entrance of this location and it seemed like an underground bunker but with a garage where cars could be parked. He wasn't allowed to drive into the garage as Marcus s

Julian and Frederick finally arrived at Marve’s place and luckily they met with Marve but unluckily not with me.“What do you mean she is no longer here?” Julian asked. “I am sorry Julian, she left a couple of hours ago. She didn't want us to let you know she was with us” Marve said.“I understand…..Where is she now?” Julian asked.“To be honest, I have no idea but she mentioned she was going to return to you when she had cleared her head” Marve said.“There is a chance she might be back at the residence” Fredrick said.“We must have missed ourselves while coming” Julian said and headed back into the car, followed by Frederick.******************************************I was not back at the residence yet as I was still trying to find myself so I had lodged in a motel. I took a cold bath and was finally prepared to head back to the residence and figure things out with Julian instead of running away. Immediately I opened the door, I encountered Marcus and one other man at the entranc

Mr Blackwood is seen in his lodge smoking his cigar as Marcus knocked and came inside.“You called for me sir” Marcus said. “Are you ready for this task I have for you?” Mr Blackwood asked. “I am ready for any kind of task given sir” Marcus said.“I want you to kidnap Lexi, can you do that?” Mr Blackwood asked. “Yes sir, I can” Marcus said with a straight face. “Good…..have her here latest by tomorrow noon” Mr Blackwood said.“Yes sir” Marcus said and took his leave. Immediately Marcus left the room, Mr Blackwood’s personal man who had been doing his biddings from the onset came out from the shadows.“Kidnap David and bring him here quietly” Mr Blackwood ordered.“Yes sir” the man said and exited the room as well. *******************************************“Still haven't spoken to her?” aunt Melda asked Julian.“No, she has not been picking my calls and I don't even know where she is or could be” Julian said as he was frustrated with the whole thing.“I am truly sorry Julian, I

Detective Garrett was at the precinct when he received a call from his informant.“Whats up?” detective Garrett asked.“I have been tailing Mr Balckwood for a while now, although its been tough having to keep a track on them, there has been some movements” the informant said.“Finally!…..what has he been up too?” detective Garrett asked.“There has been a few cases of children missing from orphanages of late….. I looked into and I found out that it's been Mr Blackwood” the informant said.“He is up to it again” detective Garrett said.“What do you mean? What does he want to do with orphaned kids?” the informant asked. “He is going to test his drugs on them again” detective Garrett said.“My goodness” the informant exclaimed.“Keep tracking him and notify me of any news, no matter how little. I will try to figure out the orphanages these kids are missing from” detective Garrett said.Mr Blackwood is seen with one of the pharmacists dressed in a white lab coat in the new lab he already

Aunt Melda wiped Julian’s tears and carried him as she tried to make him calm down from crying. “Where are your parents?” Aunt Melda asked but there was no response from Julian as he had calmed down now and was comfortable being in her arms.“Don’t you want to tell me? Where is your mom kiddo?” Aunt Melda asked. “Ish shcream” Julian mumbled.“Ice cream? You want ice cream?” Aunt Melda asked.Julian nodded his head in agreement.“Okay then, let’s go get ice cream…… I just hope your parents would be able to return right on time. Aunt Melda carried Julian and went into her car as her driver drove them to a nice and fancy ice cream shop and Julian had his fill. On the other hand, Mr Carter was still looking for their son.“Julian!…….Julian!………Julian!!” Mr Carter searched and searched the hospital but there was no sign of Julian.It was late noon now and Julian had enjoyed what he wanted and aunt Melda was happy that she could do that for him as she looked at him with so much emotion a

Just then, my phone rang and it was Julian.“Hi!” I said as I was not expecting his call.“I didn’t hear from you since you left, are you good?” Julian asked.“Uhh yea! Yea I’m good, I’m glad I came around” I said.“Okay that’s good….. I actually called to tell you that aunt Melda will be staying with us for a couple of days” Julian said.“Oh wow, that’s good to know…..do you think she’d be happy to meet me?” I asked.“Yeah….she really can’t wait to meet you” Julian said.“Really?, it would also be nice to meet her based on the fact that she’s nothing like your father” I said.“If anyone wants to take down my father badly, it would be her………I’ll come pick you up when you are ready so let know me alright?” Julian said.“Sure, I love you” I said.“I love you too” Julian said.It was late in the evening and Julian came and picked me up as we headed back home.
