I was awake now as my eyes slowly opened and looked around. Right there, I found Julian right beside me as I had slept in his arms. I adjusted a bit gently and looked at him as he lay there, his eyes closed. I could tell that I was completely in love and mesmerized by him. My hands slowly went over to his face as I traced my finger over his brows, over his eyelids and then over his lips when I suddenly heard him speak.“They are all yours” Julian said with a soft smile, his eyes still closed.I quickly tried to adjust myself away from him as I was embarrassed that I was caught but he pulled me into his arms and held me, completely covered with his arms.“Let’s stay like this for a few minutes…….I don’t want to separate from you just yet” Julian said with a smile.I decided not to break away but remain in his embrace, his sweet scent all over me.******************************************************We were all gathered now. Julian and I had told Frederick all about the clues we fou

Mr Blackwood finally decides to visit his new drug making lab hidden in an abandoned wharf as he arrived there in his car and a few of his men. Xavier was notified of Mr Blackwood’s presence as he hurried down to the wharf to welcome him.By the time Xavier got to the wharf, Mr Blackwood had already helped himself inside to inspect.“I didn’t know you’d be coming today……I would have welcomed you properly sir,” Xavier said.“I didn’t realized I would have to inform you before coming,” Mr Blackwood said while looking around.“No not at all sir, that’s not what I meant……you’re always welcome to come anytime, I mean it’s your lab sir,” Xavier said. Mr Blackwood ignored Xavier and went into the next room where the ball boys were formulating and making the GB-3.Mr Blackwood looked around, came close to where the finished product was packaged in pills and in blister packs in pairs and then the unfinished substance. He scooped some with a tiny looking spoon and smelled it to be sure it was

Officer Petra headed to the hospital where Asher was hospitalized after the stabbing incident he had with Marve and his partner. Asher was eating when officer Petra walked into the room.“What did I do again?” Asher asked sarcastically as he stuffed a piece of food into his mouth.“Well it’s about time you get outta here” officer Petra said.“Can you guys please stop joking with things like this….I guess that’s not happening seeing as I am still handcuffed” Asher said.Officer Petra moved closer to him and unlocked his cuffs with her keys.Asher quickly removed his hand from the cuffs and flexed it a bit to improve blood flow.“So I’m really free to go?” Asher asked.“What other proof do you want to believe you’re free to go?” Officer Petra said.“But the other detective said—…..what about the substance I had on me?” Asher inquired.“Well you could have just told us it was just crushed aspirin and save us the stress of testing it” officer Petra said and smiled wryly.“Crushed aspirin

Finally Detective Garrett has created enough time to meet with David who is being held hostage and undergoing treatment.Detective Garrett walked into the lodge where David was held hostage and saw him lying on the bed, stripped to a drip.“This was the best I could do for me……I’m currently low on funds,” the informant said.“Thank you for this, I’ll definitely pay you back,” Detective Garrett said as he approached David who was still unconscious.“How long do you think before he will gain consciousness,” Detective Garrett asked.“I’m not an expert but at most in a couple of days, give or take,” the informant said.“He had better be up soon…..he’s got a lot of answering to do,” Detective Garrett said.“One thing has always bothered me and I’ve always been meaning to ask you this” the informant said.“What is that?” Detective Garrett asked.“Why are you so hell bent on this case?……if I recall correctly, you asked to be transferred here. I mean, there must be some back story that I am n

Frieda stood from where she sat and headed outside the building. She came out now and didn’t see or notice anyone in front of the building so she brought out her phone and dialed the number.“I’m outside the building but there is no one here” Frieda said.“Please walk to the right side of the building, you’ll see me there” the voice said.And so Frieda kept the call going and walked to the right side of the building and at last, she saw a man who looked like a chauffeur standing right next to the back seat’s door.“Are you the one on the phone?” Frieda asked as she looked at the ongoing call.“You must be miss Frieda” the chauffeur said as he showed her the call from his own phone and this confirmed their identity.“Yes……I thought we were having the meeting here at the Convention Centre” Frieda asked.“Yes, that was the initial plan but some urgent things came up for my client and she pleads you have the meeting back at her suite” the chauffeur said and gestured her to get in the car.

“It’s pretty simple, paint the damn replica or you die. We don’t have to be dramatic about it” Xavier said.“Please don’t kill me, I am as good as dead the moment I paint the replica. Please let me go and I won’t say a word” Frieda pleaded.“Agree to paint the replica and you won’t have to die, it’s quite simple don’t you think?” Xavier said. “Why does it have to be me?” Frieda asked.“You were the easiest to trick into buying one of your pieces, what’d did you call it? Resonance?” Xavier said and burst into laughter and went away to the restroom. It was at this point that Frieda knew that she had woefully made a grave mistake and there seem to be no way out. She suddenly remembered her uncle’s words to be careful and wished she had just listened to her head instead of her heart. In the process of regretting her decisions, Frieda felt a slight bulge in the back pocket of her jeans and remembered that she had put the pen recorder Detective Garrett had given her as a present the last

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.

“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

“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

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

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.

“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
