Canvas Of Secrets CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
The next morning Julian was ready to drive back home since the purpose of him being in Ontario had been carried out by someone else. He picked up his small bag, picked up his gun and lodged it at the waist of his trousers and then headed to his car. He got into his car, brought out the gun from behind and put it in the compartment box, then his phone rang—it was Stronach. “Hey my friend…… you didn’t call me back to report,” Stronach said in his Russian accent. “I was just about to do that,” Julian responded. “Well, is he dead?” Stronach asked. “Yes, he’s been taken care of” Julian said.“Good, good….. I will send three of my men to your address tomorrow to go save tvoya devushka(your girl). They will handle the matters of getting in and out of Xavier’s mansion…..Poka!(Bye)” Stronach said and hung up. Julian placed the phone in the phone compartment and buckled his seat belt before he kickstarted the car and drove off. ************************************************************

Xavier had exhausted his cigarette now as he quenched it in the cigarette plate. He picked up the cigarette pack and brought out another stick and gestured it towards Marcus. “Here, have a smoke with me,” Xavier said and gave Marcus the cigarette and then lit it for him with his lighter. Marcus held the lit cigarette with two of his fingers and took a puff. “There are so many ways for you to be a man and not just a man, a man that is feared, just like me.” Xavier said. “Sometimes you gotta move away from your father’s shadow to see how much you are capable of,” Xavier said again. “I remember you mentioned killing a man, was that the very first?” Xavier asked. Marcus recalled the event and inhaled the smoke through the wrong pipe and coughed out. “It-it was self defense,” Marcus answered with a raspy voice as he tried to clear his throat. “Easy boy, things like this shouldn’t flinch you…….these are things that build you up to a man!” Xavier said. Marcus now put out the cigaret

Julian finally drove home at night after making different findings about Dmitri. He drove into his compound and was welcomed by the head of security. “Welcome boss,” the head security said and collected Julian’s small luggage. Julian without wasting much time headed into the house, into his study and into his hidden room. He took off just his shirt and went into the bathroom with his black pants. He stood right there, under the shower, water drizzling down on his hair and down his well built body. He ran his wet dark wavy hair with his hands, moving the water flow down to the back of his shoulders and revealed a more broader shoulder and a tattoo of a snake wrapped around a sword at the center of his back, a scar slanting from behind his lower back to his waist; it was an old scar. He stood there in the shower getting soaked with water for a while as he hoped to recollect himself. He was finally done and came out of the shower and into the room in a white bathrobe. He then came ou

In total darkeness, Mr Thompson found his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone as the screen came on and shone some dim light on his face and he called his son Marcus. The phone rang all through and Marcus didn’t pick up. He called again as he walked towards his car and got in, still, Marcus didn’t pick up. He dialed the number one more time and dropped the phone on the passenger seat, started the car and drove out of under the bridge and while he drove, Marcus picked up. “Marcus! Why weren’t you picking?!” Mr Thompson vented out.“I was busy” Marcus said without remorse.“Busy?” Mr Thompson asked.“Yes, and I will be a lot more busy from today onward” Marcus said. “Busy with what Marcus? I want you to be extra careful, I don’t want you going around getting into a mess that would cost me!” Mr Thompson said, both hands still on the steering wheel. “Is that all I mean to you Dad?” Marcus asked. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Mr Thompson asked. “Never mind” Marcus chan

Marcus finally broke free from the hands that pulled him away from the offender. Marcus then pushed the man out of his way as he exited the bar and in the process made an object drop from the man’s pocket. The man bent and picked up the object and apparently it was his identity card—he was a detective. Detective Garrett was a fairly dark skinned man in his early forties, his dark hair was on a low cut with black shiny beards that ran from one jawline to the other. He had no wife, no kids and just work. He’s been working on a particular case that is linked to Lexi's biological parents and a missing technology. He stood there in the bar as he looked outside and watched Marcus get on his bike and zoomed off. ****************************************************The morning brought forth three of Stronach’s men as promised to Julian’s gate as they were allowed into the vast compound and led into the main house. “Our Krestny Otets(godfather) wants us to help you get your girl out” the t

It was a couple of minutes to the said time for getting me out from Xavier’s mansion. Klaus and his men were ready and all set as they headed into their car while Julian followed as well. Klaus made contact with one of their men in Xavier’s mansion and gave them the time for the secret passage be opened. They were all dressed in black outfit, used a black nose cover and a black full face cover. Julian had picked up his silent gun and also stuck a pen knife right beside his sock before he got into the car with the other three as they drove off. They finally drove and parked at a spot not too far from the mansion and walked over to the secret entrance. Klaus led the way while the other two and Julian followed from behind and indeed there was a secret passage and it was already opened. They all got into the mansion now as they moved sneakily to avoid attention. Using the house blueprint, Klaus found his way to the house entrance and stabbed one of the guards by the door while one of h

Marve was seen seated on the bonnet of his car smoking a cigarette when Mateo approached him. “The kid seems eager to work……he’s been at it since morning, is he trying to prove his worth to Xavier that bad,” Mateo asked. “Put him to more work if he’s so eager,” Marve said and hopped down from where he sat. “You don’t like that he’s here? Is he related to you?” Mateo asked out of curiosity. “Like you said, he’s just a kid trying to prove his worth….so help him do just that” Marve said.“How’s it look? The goods” Marve asked.“The ball boys are quite good at offloading them off the ship, we’ve been able to ship some of the stuff out of the country” Mateo said.“I need to head back” Marve said as he looked at his watch and the time read 8:50 pm.“I actually found it odd that you’ve been here since you came in the morning…. I didn’t think you’d stay till this late. Got any issues back at Xavier’s?” Mateo asked.“I needed to clear my head……keep your eyes on the kid, I am outta here” Ma

Marcus was busy and diligent with what he was doing. He and five other ball boys were in the part of the abandoned ship that was used to package Xavier’s drugs. They all wore nose masks as they were busy packing and wrapping the drugs in small transparent satchets and also in small quantities. “Did you hear about the disturbance yesterday?” One of the ball boys who wore a black face cap said. “What disturbance?” The other ball boy asked still busy with what he was doing. Marcus overheard them from where he was busy with his packaging and decided to pay attention. “I heard some girl got taken from the boss’s mansion.” The ball boy with the face cap said. “Some girl? Are you sure she didn’t run away?” The other ball boy asked. Marcus still paid attention but didn’t think anything of some girl being taken until he heard the other ball boy respond. “I heard she’s some painter that was kidnapped by the boss……I also heard she’s painting him a top coded artwork” the ball boy with the

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

Detective Garrett walked back into the house now.“I am sorry you both had to go through this” detective Garrett said. 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.

Mr Blackwood is nowhere to be seen as he laid low in his residence during all of this chaos but is notified of what is going on. “Turns out Xavier has been siphoning the extra production of GB-3 sir…..he launched and hosted a party” the aide said.“I am well aware of all of these” Mr Blackwood said and poured himself a glass of vodka and drank.“But sir, you never mentioned or took action against Xavier” the aide said.“There is no point in chasing the rabbit tail, I knew that he was bound to get caught and arrested soon enough” Mr Blackwood said. “He should have paid for stealing from you sir” the aide said.“He will get whatever comes his way” Mr Blackwood said. 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. Claims he wants to speak to Mr Blackwood” the security said.“Must be a passerby. ...….send hi

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
