Xavier came closer to where David Thompson was forced to kneel, swung the bat and hit him right on the stomach as he let out a shout. The spy stayed in his car and took pictures while everything was going on.“I am giving you exactly the taste of what I was given!” Xavier said and hit him again. Marcus tried to keep a straight face while his father was beaten.Xavier hit David Thompson to his satisfaction and was finally done as he left bruises all over David’s body and faces. “Your time is up old man…….. I get you used to run things for Mr Blackwood but that was then, don't you go around butting into my business! You hear me?!” Xavier yelled out and threw the bat back into the trunk of the car. “Let's go” Xavier said as he gt into the car.The men holding David Thompson let go of him now and got into the car as he held his lower body in pain while Marcus still stood there and looked at his father with a feeling of disappointment mixed with guilt.“Get in the car kid” Xavier said
I felt choked and I couldn’t keep staying in the hidden room being reminded of what I had just found out so I stepped out of the hidden room and out of the study. I found my way to one of the rooms and entered there just to clear my head for a while. A couple of minutes later, Julian and Frederick got back to the house and the first place they came into was the hidden room but Frederick waited back in the study. “Lexi’s not here” Julian said frantically as soon as he came out. “What do you mean she’s not here?” Frederick asked surprised. “She’s not in the room Fred” Julian said as he hurriedly picked up his phone.“Wait who you’re calling?” Frederick asked.“My father!” Julian said.“Whoah! Calm down…….it couldn’t have been him, we were just coming from his place right?” Frederick said.“What if he sent some peeps here while we were away?” Julian freaked out.“We haven’t even checked around the house……she could possibly be somewhere around the house” Frederick said.“She hasn’t l
Not like I had much belonging but I went back into the study to pick up my painting supplies. I was so hotheaded and I didn’t just want to listen but get away from all of this as soon as possible. I stood there and looked at the painting that I was almost done with and pondered if I should take it along with me or leave it here half done, it would be useless to Julian half done anyway so what’s the point in taking it. Just then I heard the door open and I knew it was Julian so I wanted to hurry off again but he stopped me.“Please wait and listen to me……you are not even giving me a chance to say something or explain myself” Julian said.“What is there to explain Julian? Your father is the same man who plotted with you to kidnap and put me in danger, all because of some painting!” I yelled out. “Yes!!…..it’s true that I initially obeyed my father to kidnap you to paint the Elysium simply because I thought he just wanted to have a copy of the painting” Julian said.“You really expect
“You know I continued painting even when I was held captive back at Xavier’s residence and I found a clue” I said.“You found a clue?” Julian asked.“Yes, I found a clue hidden in the painting” I said. “Wow…… I never knew this painting could hold something like that” Julian said.“I need to show you something” I said as I stood from the bed and walked towards the painting. I tilted the painting sideways to show Julian the hidden phrase I found in the painting“Do you see this?” I said to Julian as I pointed to a part on the painting. Julian came forward and took a closer look at the painting and finally he saw the hidden phrase.“Yes!…. I see it!” Julian said.I put the replica back in its original position and then took the original painting and tilted it sideways in the same position as I did the replica.“Do you see it here too?” I asked Julian.Julian looked in the same direction at the painting. “Yes, I see it there too. What do you think the phrase means” Julian asked.I st
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
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. We got down from the car as Julian walked me to the door.“I have something to tell you” I said as we walked.Julian looked at m
