Marcus was seen having a smoke in a secluded place after work hours when he suddenly remembered the guys talking about me being rescued from Xavier’s place. A quick thought of calling his father crossed his mind and he decided to go with it. He put out the cigar brought out his phone and dialed his father’s number, it rang. “Hello?….Marcus?” Mr Thompson asked, equally surprised. “Yes, it's me” Marcus answered. “I didn't think you would call me again” Mr Thompson said. “Well, don't get your hopes up” Marcus said. “You still don't think it's ideal to return home?” Mr Thompson asked?“That is not why I called, alright?…….. I heard Lexi got out” Marcus said. “Lexi got out? How do you mean she got out?” Mr Thompson asked. “Well if I knew I wouldn't have called you, would I?” Marcus said. “Xavier isn't going to like this, neither will Mr Bla……” Mr Thompson suddenly paused. “Mr who?” Marcus asked curiously.“It's nothing, I just know that Xavier won't take this lightly and I fear i

For the first time I slept perfectly fine with ease ever since I got kidnapped by Julian and then by Xavier. I didn't think I would ever be happy that I was back to Julian’s residence and not only that but sleep with ease. I got out of the bed gently as I didn't want to stress my ankle just as the doctor recommended. I walked over to the box where Julian had put all the art supplies and ruffling through, I brought out my paint brushes, colors and my color palette. Looking at the medium sized canvas rested on the wall, I gently bent down and flipped it to the front and I became more amazed at the little piece I had painted. I myself couldn't understand how I was able to paint that but I knew that there was more to this little piece. I lifted up the canvas and set it up with the stands right beside the table where I also set up my colors and brushes. Something was missing, I needed a chair for me to sit on and there wasn't any in the hidden room. ************************************

Xavier has been skeptical ever since I was rescued from his residence. He has been on edge ever since because he finally realized there was no way to get me back with ease because he clearly knows Julian rescued me and who Julian is to Mr Blackwood. “What do we do now sir?” Marve asked.“Just shut the f*ck up!…… can't you see I am trying to think?” Xavier said as he paced the room. “Damn it! I don't have the original painting and not even the supposed counterfeit and I don’t freaking have her!!” Xavier yelled out. Just then Xavier’s phone rang and it was a call from Mateo.“Sir, we’ve got an issue here at the wharf” Mateo reported.“Then freaking take care of it!” Xavier yelled out in frustration. “I would have sir but I figured you needed to know” Mateo said. “Urrgggg!!” Xavier yelled and hung up.“Get the car ready!” Xavier ordered Marve as he walked out of the room. *******************************************************Sooner or later, Xavier arrived at his wharf with Marve

Detective Garrett was seen trying to make some coffee back at the precinct when his informant called and he picked up.“Got anything for me,” Detective Garrett asked in a low voice to avoid being heard.“Yes, that’s why I called,” the informant said.“What have you got?” Detective Garrett said. “So I was able to find out some information about the Thompson kid….. apparently he was once charged for car theft so I asked around and I heard he left home of recent,” the informant said.“You mean his family home?” Detective Garrett asked.“Yes,” the informant said. “Any idea of where it is located? Or the last time he was there?” Detective Garrett.“It was a couple of days ago, he was seen storming out of the house after having an argument with a man in his 50s,” the informant said. “A man in his 50s?” Detective Garrett asked.“Yeah, that’s what I heard,” the informant said.“Any existing relative?” Detective Garrett asked.“Not that I am aware of………. his last guardian was his father” th

“That must have been Miss Lexi” Mr Walker said.“Why do you think things went bad when the orphanage had the visit?” Julian asked.“After Mr and Mrs Carter handled the event, his spokesman delivered an invitation to the sponsor’s residence to the director” she said.“He told me about the invite and was quite skeptical about going but I encouraged him to go because I figured him going would make things better for the orphanage but I was wrong” she said, slightly sobbing.“What were you wrong about? What happened?” Julian asked, quite hooked and curious.“A couple of days after the director went over to this anonymous sponsor’s residence, he suddenly became distant and then I suddenly noticed that the kids started missing.” She said.“Missing? How” Mr Walker asked.“At first it was 6 year old Josiah then it was 4 year old Nyla and then the numbers kept increasing” she said, now fully sobbing. “How high did the number increase?” Julian asked.She couldn’t control her tears and this made

Miss Caitlyn told Detective Garrett the very same thing she told Julian and Mr Walker and when he also showed her a picture of David Thompson, she recognized him as well.“I'm going to register you under a witness protection, your involvement in this is quite deep and I can't have you being in danger or at risk…… I hope you would be able to boldly testify when the time comes,” Detective Garrett asked.“Yes I will Detective, I owe it to those innocent souls” Miss Caitlyn said with teary eyes.“Thank you so much, here is my card……call me when you feel you need to” Detective Garrett said as he stretched forth his card to Miss Caitlyn and she collected it.“I will be on my way now” Detective Garrett said as he took his leave.As he walked towards his car, he brought out his phone and called his colleague, she was an older colleague in her early 40s and had been in that precinct longer than other officers. “Hey, I need you to assign a watch over this address please……I am gonna send it to

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

Mr Blackwood had a scheduled meeting with the major investors of this new product he was making in his residence where Julian lived in the present as they all sat down “What is holding the sample test?” the first investor asked.“Yes, we have put in so much money and we are yet to see anything for it,” the third investor said. “I sincerely apologize for the delay we have faced in the course of the sample testing, I am heavily working on that,” Mr Blackwood said.“And what exactly is causing this delay?” the first investor asked.“Finding the right test subjects for the sample testing” Mr Blackwood said.“Can’t you get volunteers and tell them it’s clinical trials and then pay them afterwards?” the second investor said.“That would have been a plausible outcome but being that the said products is a high level kind of product, we wouldn’t want one of the volunteers ratting us out or going against the agreement by taking things out of hand” Mr Blackwood said.“I agree” the first invest

David returns to Mr Blackwood’s residence and informs him of the new update.“I have finally been able to speak to the said artist sir” David said.“What did he say” Mr Blackwood asked.“Actually sir, they are a couple. The director recommended them as they quite good artists and have a good reputation” David said.“A couple?” Mr Blackwood asked.“Yes sir” David said.“Well, having them handle the art exhibition should not be a problem” Mr Blackwood said.“Not at all, I explained everything to them. I just need to get a list of what they would need for the success of it” David said.“When we have succeeded with the art exhibition, put the next plan in motion” Mr Blackwood ordered.“Yes sir” David said and still remained.“Is there anything you want to say?” Mr Blackwood asked.“Yes, yes sir…. I wanted to ask how the sample test is coming up” David said.“Why do you think I am in a haste to find kids for the testing?” Mr Blackwood asked.“I’m sorry sir, it was a silly question to ask.

HOW IT ALL STARTED EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO18 years ago, Mr Blackwood was seen in his office going through some documents as David knocked and came in.“Have you been able to find a suitable option?” Mr Blackwood asked.“Yes sir, it’s an orphanage run by a friend of mine….he can be quite difficult but I believe we would be able to make him an interesting offer” David said. “What about the artist? We need an artist to host the art exhibition, an exhibition is the only way we can use to pretend to care and support the orphanage” Mr Blackwood said.“I am still working on getting the right artist sir” David said.“How is your wife by the way?” Mr Blackwood asked.“She is doing fine sir” David said.“Okay….that will be all” Mr Blackwood said and went back to what he was doing. David drove all the way down to the orphanage to meet with his friend who was the director of the orphanage as at that time. David parked his car in front of the orphanage as he opened the gate ans walked in. On his wa

“I just got off the phone with detective Garrett, he said officer Petra was attacked in her home” I said to Julian.“Attacked?” Julian asked. “Do you think this was the trap detective Garrett said he set up for officer Petra?” Frederick asked.“No, he initially had plans of shaking her up a bit by having someone act as though he was ordered to attack her but I think your father actually sent someone to eliminate her” I said. “That’s just how he does things, he never leaves any lose ends” Julian said.“So the suspect is still at large?” Frederick asked.“Yes but officer Petra came clean, she has confessed to her crimes and that of Mr Blackwood” I said.“Knowing who my father is, he would go underground. It would then be difficult to find or locate him and my guess is the suspect would be with him” Julian said.“I think in the meantime we need to know the true story behind the Elysium and the orphanage…. We all seem to be connected to this one way or the other” I suggested.“Walker wa

Julian finally broke away from our embrace and we all turned to detective Garrett and that’s when it occurred to me that the person I saw tase the man was actually Frederick.“Frederick?” I suddenly said. Julian looked at me and then looked at Frederick and realized he was the one who actually stood there. He was caught up in getting to me that he didn’t notice him when he came in. “How are you here? I’ve been trying to reach you but nothing man! Walker said you went to Russia but you weren’t there, where have you been all this while?!” Julian said, a little bit frustrated.“I’m really sorry for ghosting you all, I really thought I could pull it through but I couldn’t” Frederick said.“What do you mean ghost all of us? Were you trying to disappear?” I asked. Marve gently led his wife to have a seat as it was going to be a long conversation. “I’m so sorry Lexi, I

Xavier’s trial started and ended and he was finally sentenced to prison. Detective Garrett was present at the trial as his niece Frieda was also killed by Xavier. Marve came forward as a witness and testified to Xavier’s dealings as he had been keeping records and evidences against him. Xavier was seen escorted into the prison transport bus in cuffs as he looked at Marve and detective Garrett before the bus drove off.“Thank you so much for coming today, it would have been a difficult case if you didn’t decide to testify against him” detective Garrett said.“I am just happy to help out, we all seem to have been affected one way or the other by Xavier and Mr Blackwood” Marve said.“That just tells us that we still have a lot of work to do as Mr Blackwood is still walking around freely” detective Garrett said. ******************************I was with Marve’s pregnant wife back at their place.

Just then Marcus tried and found his way to Mr Blackwood’s residence as he no longer trusted Xavier and his words.One of the security from the gate radioed the closest aide to Mr Blackwood.“Boss, there is some kid at the gate.

Detective Garrett and I immediately found our way to the VIP section and met with Xavier who tried to run away. “I don’t think that's,'s a good idea,” detective Garrett said as he stood in front of Xavier with cuffs out. I quickly came up from behind and saw Julian standing on the opposite side of the room.“Julian!” I called out to him as he quickly heard his name and looked on my direction.“Lexi!” Julian called out too and quickly walked up to me and hugged me deeply and warmly.I held him so close to me and missed being in his arms.“I didn’t know you were back……I missed you,” I said, still in his embrace.“I'm sorry I did not make you aware of my arrival, I wanted to sort things here before I return to you,” Julian said. “I would go ahead and make the arrest,” detective Garrett said.He approached Xavier who had no way of escaping right now and arrested him alongside his aide.

Detective Garrett and I on the other hand had no issues with finding our way into the party as Marve already guaranteed he would let us in through the back door.I got dressed in a black sequin short dress and a pair of strap heels, I had my make up done and my hair packed in a pony tail style. “You really have an idea how to dress up for events like this” Detective Garrett said the moment he saw me all dressed.“To be honest, this is my first time being in a club, I have always been all about painting. All I did was surf through the internet for basic outfits and the kind of make up to wear” I said.“Well I think the internet really helped you” Detective Garrett said.We both got into the car and we drove all the wa
