Julian and Mr Walker were finally able to get back to the residence and I was halfway through the painting. I had to stop at some point as I noticed that it was taking a toll on me so I took a nap. I suddenly woke up to the sound of the door creaking and it was Julian trying to shut the door behind him.“You are back?….when did you get back?” I asked with a frizzy voice as I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm, trying to get back into reality.“A couple of minutes ago……. I actually tried not to wake you up” Julian said as he returned to my bed side.“I guess you failed then” I said with a soft smile.I tried to get out of the bed but then Julian stopped me.“Oh you don't have to get out of bed…..you seem tired” Julian said as he sat right beside me and patted me back into bed. “Yea, I got stuck while painting and did a lot of brainstorming…..how was where you went to?” I asked.Julian hesitated for a while as though he had wanted to tell me all about it but something changed his

David Thompson went about his business low key without knowing that he was being tailed by someone working with Detective Garrett.His first stop was at a gun store as he parked his truck and got out, dressed in a pair of blue jean and a brown jacket with a face cap.The stalker parked at a distance and watched as Mr Thompson walked into the gun store but he couldn't take pictures as Mr Thompson backed him when he entered so he had to wait until Mr Thompson was done and came out so he could take a clearer picture of his face.A couple of minutes passed and Mr Thompson stepped out of the gun store and it was at this time that the stalker brought forth his camera and took pictures of Mr Thompson’s face and posture in different angles. Mr Thompson got into his truck and drove off and the stalker didn't follow as he had gotten what he wanted- the pictures.*************************************************Marve finally drove back to Xavier’s residence after he had dumped and taken care o

I was still amazed at another hint that popped up while halfway through the Elysium. I placed the half done canvas in the angle I had viewed it from when I was on the bed and I finally saw it, another cursive letter and this around, it was not just a letter this time around as it was “ for S”. I wondered to myself what the cursive letters “L for S” could possibly mean. I knew that the cursive letter “L” was the first word judging from the starting point of the painting and then the cursive phrase “for S” was the second just as the painting went up gradually. The first thing that came to my mind was that the letter L stood for Lexi and with the phrase, it became “Lexi for S”. But putting them together like this didn't make any sense to me so I assumed that there was going to be more letters or phrases to make it make sense. To some extent I pondered what this painter couple were thinking to have hiden letters and phrases in their strokes. I picked up my brush and continued painti

Julian got out of the car and walked into the house without asking to know where his father might be while Frederick followed from behind. At las, Mr Blackwood was seen right in his office/study when Julian walked in while Frederick waited in the living room.“I see you're here” Mr Blackwood said as he looked behind him as though he was looking for someone.“Should I presume she's downstairs?” Mr Blackwood said as he finished scribbling something on a piece of paper.“She is not anywhere here and you will be the last person she will ever see” Julian said.“Come in” Mr Blackwood said and one of his men opened the door and walked in.“Get this to whom it may concern” Mr Blackwood said as he handed over the piece of paper now inside a brown envelope. The man collected the brown envelope and understood what he needed to do as he walked out. “I

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

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

“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

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’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

“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

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

“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
