•A MAN OF DECEPTION•
Screams of people asking for help, the sound of blaring sirens and the deafening shrieking high pitched tone rings in his ears as his eye flew open slowly.
"Oh sh*t!" Detective Won groaned, holding his head.
They were upside down and the thing the keeps them on their seat is the seatbelt wrapped around them. Both of them has their hands hanging down to the ground, having a headache from being upside down for a moment there.
The pieces of broken glass are all scattered on the cemented floor. There are people gathering around.
"There's still people inside! Get there out of there!" A woman shrieked the moment she sees the two inside.
"There's fire! Come on! Let's get them out of there!" A man called for anyone's help and marches quickly to the car, opening the jammed door.
"Sh*t! It's gonna blow!" Collin woke u
•A MAN THAT NEVER FALTER•"How could he possibly avoid thos f*cking egg cams!" Detective Won angrily throws the folders above Walker's table that was organized nearly and now it's all on the floor and needs reorganization.Walkel gave the Detective an annoyed look before starting to pick up those with just a hand. Collin helped him and for some reason, a paper with Klyde's face caught his attention, it's not the face.... but the details written and printed on it."Girlfriend, field officer Lori Payne." He read while holding out the paper in his hand. "Who's Lori Payne?" He asked to Detective Won who's counting to calm himself down after blowing up to Walker's paper works."She's been relieved of duty after making a hole in the authority's business. She helped McMarrow for too many times in a row along with the other 6 officials and a superintendent. Amazing right? We had to detaine her. She
•A CHANGED MAN THAT DOESN'T CHANGE•"Anyone wants to welcome a lost member of your family?"Dolora sucked her breath heavily, seeing a man with a face that could scare anyone. He has his eye wide looking at her, just as wide as his grin while standing in front of her, just by the door."No!" Rig shouted, making Dolora shift her head to him.Seems like the numbers of her family doubled their number, but no, half of them are not her family.Rig was kicked on his stomach, giving him enough pain to bare. One of them even slapped him with a gun on his cheek. The taste of bitterness of blood runs at the corner of his lips, so as his nose.Gasping for air when a pair of hands wrapped around her, causing her not to make a move, preventing her from moving her arms, squishing her jaw."Now, dear. As long as I love having a little chit cha
•A MAN DECEPTION GOT DECEIVED•Living in a life full of money, money that seems not to get empty in his bank. He helped too many orphans, he started being a philanthropist, donated enough bucks on cancer patients, started a party club where famous DJ's gets to the floor, and the food that he wants.From the ugly past of Duke Hermes he left behind, he became Alexis Peterson, taking his grandfather's name and his Mother's maiden name. He's now proud of himself, taking his path alone.He's no more the man who was convicted from having the case of statutory rape, a man that was part of smuggling and raping girls, transporting drugs and even support to kill people and illegal deeds.Guns are no more in his hands but just papers and pens. Killings are not what's on his sight no more instead partying people and food that he's getting addicted on.He became big, literally but n
•A MAN OF FIRE•Steering the wheel, he chose to drive straight to his house. His family is his first priority. Knowing Klyde McMarrow, that criminal will do everything just to get back at him, he will show himself one of these days or hours but his family, his family would need him more than the revenge and the desire to end the life of the criminal who made his and his family's life too hard and heavy to bare."Oh God." Detective Won exclaimed, seeing the house caught on huge fire and high black smoke.Collin got out from the car and tried to get in the area but a fireman halted him."Sir, you cannot go in there. It would be risky and dangerous for you, let us do our job."The loud pounding of his beating heart can't be stopped bot until he confirms that his family's safe, his wife's safe.The fireman left him standing there to help his coworkers.
•A MAN OF AN *SS•"Oh my gosh! Collin!" Finley's voice is what welcomed him as he visits the precinct where part of his family are."Fin!" He welcomed her with a tight hug. "Are you hurt?" He asked her."Shouldn't I be the one supposed to ask you that?" She pulled out from the hug, examining his face. "How's Mom and my sisters? Are they okay? How are they?" She started to lead him where she and Carl and the kids are staying."Ezra's fine, she just got trauma from the fire." He began, opening the door which sees him Carl carrying his two daughters."Collin! Oh thank goodness you're okay, son. How's my wife? Where are they? My daughters? Tell me they're fine, please tell me they're okay." He almost begged using his eyes that's filled with so much pain and of worn out."Collin said that Ezzy is fine." Fin took Helga from her father, sitti
•A MAN WITH MOUTHFUL OF COMPLAIN•"You motherf*cker." Lori Payne muttered while looking at him.That familiar addicting smell of his body odor and chocolate filled inside the car. But as his lovely scent can be smelled, his unbearable face can undeniably pull the golden wagon of anyone could welcome him. Add the fact that his true self can smell like a rotten dead body."Hey, that's my line." He laughed, looking at her hard situation. "That's a nice bracelet, too bad the wheel caught it." He ironically praised the handcuff she's wearing."Stop fooling around and help me get out of here, since what happened to me are all your fault." She blamed him while pointing at her wrist, getting too red from rubbing her skin on the cuffs."All my fault? Honey, all I did was to charm you, and everything was up to you. You chose me, you chose to do the illegal deeds wit
•A MAN OF HOPE•"It's been almost a week but the case we're involved is still a work in progress, what are we going to do now? I'm starting to get bored and I'm hungry. I wish I could have almonds and cashews as a snack." Alexis groans while daydreaming about foods while literally holding a McDonald's burger in his hands."First, a case usually last longer if it needs a lot of details to decode. Second, you were not told to stay and wait for the case to be solved to act. And third, you just ate a jumbo fries, pancake and eggs, you already had a couple cup of coffee and a couple of burgers, you're eating another right now and it's only 2 in the afternoon. No wonder how you suddenly bloated like a balloon after five years of not seeing you." Rig pointed out while lying on his hospital bed with his eyes closed, relaxing himself and still waiting for his moment to discharge."How did you know that? I've been here f
•A MAN THAT DOESN'T TRUST•"Any updates about McMarrow?" Collin seriously asked Detective Won who comes to visit him at the apartment that he rented while they're still in search for a house that he could buy, with his budget."No, he's still at the same place. Lori Payne has been giving us the crumbs of his trails. We're all good, but we keep the team ready in case something breaks through. I know that he has his men to do the deeds he has to do while he's in his hibernation. We should always be cautious." Detective Won reported to him, referring Klyde to a dormant volcano that sleeps for a long time and when he got the chance to present himself, he will let out his steam and eventually make his explosion bigger and an eye opener for everyone to see how powerful he is."Lori Payne, has she really on our side? She might be doing what she really are. She might turn her back on us. She used to help Klyde with his
