PRESENT

"So, Ak Forzan is just a title and we all thought it was a name.The name of a gang leader" Juliet said in bewilderment

 "That's how they made it seem. Ak forzan didn't die, Shadad did,  A new Ak forzan arrived just after Shadad's death. And he has been operating secretly for years now. His name is Sharad, Shadad's twin" Eden explained tactfully.

Silence fell in the room after Eden's explanation.

 "So what do we do with the info, boss?" Eagle eyes asked.

 Eden turned to him with arms akimbo.

 " First of all, I need to meet Sharad, he's our only way of breaking in" he said

 "What!! There's no way I'm working with a drug lord, I'm an agent of the law, remember?" Juliet pointed out.

 " I'm doing this alone Juliet, you don't need to get involved, besides I owe him a lot" he said to her.

 "Do you even know his whereabouts?" She asked

 "Last time I heard about him, he's back in the slum. He had travelled out to Malaysia where he had been leading the gang after the death of his brother. But right now, he's back in the slum" he explained

 "So how do we meet him? Would it be easy?" Eagle eyes asked.

He paused for some seconds to think.

"The Ghost and The Forzan brotherhood had never been friends from the start. There is a great enmity between both gangs, starting from Gabriel and Shadad" Eden explained

 "And so how do you even plan on meeting him if both gangs are enemies? Do you think he'll accept an invitation from you?" Juliet asked

 "Sharad is unlike his brother. He is quite calm and understanding. He once spared my life, I don't think he'll have any reason to reject my invitation especially when it has to do with Derrick" he said, thoughtfully

 "I think that we would be able to allure him through that. We'll make it known and clear in the invitation" Eagle eyes supported

 "Anyway you do it guys, I just want us to be careful especially as this has to do with drug lords" Juliet said and Eden nodded.

 "So Eagle eyes, you'll prepare a special letter which would be delivered to him by some of the Ghost loyalists in the slum. I'll get them to give me every information I need about Sharad before embarking on this" he said

 "That would be okay, boss," Eagle eyes acquiesced.

 "So, what next?" Juliet asked as she rested her bum on the table behind her.

 "I'll be visiting the slum, a place where I belong" he said with a charming smile

"I can't let you go alone, if you're going back to that place, then I'll go with you" she insisted

 "No sister, this is personal. I can't risk you going over there with me" he refuted

 She kept silent with his gaze upon her. She knew there was no way he would let her in.

 "Fine, just keep safe and keep me updated" she said as she stood on her feet.

 "Thanks Julie," he said, smiling.

She picked up her car keys on the table and pecked his cheek before walking out.

 He gave a sigh of relief as she walked out. He turned to Eagle eyes who was busy with the computers.

"Let me know when you're done. I'll be getting the boys ready. It's time to visit home" he said with a mischievous smile as he walked out gallantly.

12 AM, D&D CASINO

She crossed her legs majestically as she sat at the bar drinking and smoking. She moved her body slowly to the loud music playing at the casino.

As usual, the whole place was bustling with activities. She could see men of high calibers moving to and fro the Casino. Her eyes were a bit heavy as she had divulged a huge quantity of alcohol.

She had been waiting for Derrick to come meet her at the casino where they would have their usual night fun. He had been taking a lot of time and she had gotten herself wasted with the alcohol.

 He seems to trust her a lot and he didn't even bother keeping guards over her like before. She always serves him good sex, more reason he hadn't thought of sending her away like he does the other girls.

Not long, she watched him walk down the stairs with his bodyguards. She stood up immediately and adjusted her skimpy black down.

 " Hey, you kept me waiting" she said as she approached with a bottle of liquor in her hand.

 "Oh Mi Bebe, I'm sorry," he said as he pecked her cheek. 

She could smell the strong fragrance that oozes out of his body as he pecked her. He was dressed in a black leather coat with a sheepskin's scarf use to adorn his shoulders. 

 "Shall we?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

 "Not tonight Bebe, I'm expecting a visitor. I can't pass over the night with you" he explained.

 "Oh, " she said as she feigned sadness.

"I'm sorry ok, I'll make it up to you by tomorrow," he said and kissed her passionately on the lips.

"She's here, boss" one of the bodyguards called his attention.

He broke free from the kiss immediately. His eyes fell on the tall slim lady who was walking in through the entrance with three able bodied men guarding her.

She was dressed elegantly in a black sequined long gown which had a front split that stops right on her laps. Her face was partly wrapped with a black scarf, making it difficult to picture her clearly. 

She stopped right in the middle of the Casino as she spotted Derrick who was beside Sara. 

 "Hey, Sancho will look over you okay, I've got to go now," Derrick said to her and walked away with the rest of the men.

She turned and her eyes fell on the lady whom Derrick was going to meet. She wondered who this lady was. Their eyes met and the lady turned away. She was beginning to look familiar, She thought as she continued staring at the her, but the club lights were making it difficult for her to have a perfect view of her face.

 She watched as Derrick and the lady walked out of the casino hand in hand.

 "Ehem" Sancho cleared his throat. He had been standing behind Sara for a while now.

 "Who's she?" His wife?" Sara asked

 "Um.. not really, but she visits him once in a while and I guess she is so important to him" he replied.

 She kept silent and she took a sip from the bottle she was holding.

 "How about we have fun tonight? I don't think the boss is coming back tonight" he said to her as he licked his lips with his eyes on her cleavages which her dress was revealing perfectly.

 "You want a ride, you'll get one" she said seductively as she moved closer to him and dipped her hands underneath his trousers.

6:30 AM, EDEN'S MANSION

The ringing of the phone jolted him from sleep. He opened his eyes slowly as he yawned and stretched tiredly. He had slept so late as he had worked almost all night.

He reached for the phone which was on top of the drawer beside the bed.

 "Hey Alves, any positive feedback?" He asked.

 "Kind of, he finally received the letter and he's ready to meet with you, but you've got to be careful, he doesn't trust you and he only agreed to the meeting because of me. I assured him you were of good intentions. Do not do anything stupid else, you'll get us both in trouble" A male voice spoke from the phone.

He gave a sigh of relief. 

"Thanks a lot Man, seriously, this meeting is of great benefit to him and I. There will be no cause for alarm, trust me" he assured with a smile.

 "Great, you and your men can go in today, and don't forget to deliver my money to me when you get to the slum" Alves said

 "For sure, I'll do just that" he assured again and  hung up.

He exhaled deeply  as he dropped the phone on the bed. Everything was working in his favor, he thought.

Securing a meeting with Sharad had not been easy. He had  employed Alves, an old member of the ghost, to help him secure a meeting with Sharad. Alves who once trained under Gabriel at the slum now runs his own gang and he still operates from the Slum. 

Alves was into partnership with the Forzan brotherhood and they've worked quite well together. Sharad had declined the meeting request from him due to the unpleasant history of both the Ghost and the Forzan brotherhood.

After much pressure from Alves, he was ready to honour the meeting request only if Alves would stand as a guarantee that nothing would go wrong.

Eden knew this was his only chance of meeting Sharad and all he's got to do was get prepared to visit the Slum, a place where his life began.

    5:45 PM, VENO SLUM The sun was beginning to set as they drove into the slum. He couldn't take his eyes off the place which brought back memories of his childhood. The memories were more of adulthood than of childhood, he thought as he smiled while adjusting his glasses. Looking out of the car window, he could see the old dirty houses that lined up the streets with almost falling roofs. The road was rough with stagnant Waters occupying it. As the car moved slowly down the road, they could see boys and girls, men and women moving around the crowded street. A few teenagers could be seen smoking around the corner, while some girls were frolicking around them. There were mini restaurants around and he couldn't help the smell of tapche which protruded out of the restaurants. He could also see kids running around, all dressed tattardly. A few teenage boys and girls with tattoos all over their body, stopped beside the road to watch as they drove past. They were dressed ruggedly an

    The chamber was dark with only the chandelier lights shining in the middle. The whole place was furnished lavishly and the floor sparkled like gold. A few lights came on as soon as they stopped. "Look who we have here" a voice startled him. He looked around and from behind he saw a man seated on a golden chair which looked more like a throne. He was dressed in a white sultan garment with a red scarf wrapped around his neck. He had thick beards on his chin, with long black hairs which stopped on his shoulders. As he stood up from his seat, Eden could see how tall he was. No doubt, he was Sharad, he thought. The middle aged man walked majestically towards them with a glass of wine in his right hand, and a walking stick on his left. Eden marveled at how he had aged with time. He saw the looks on his face, and they were no longer that fierce looks he saw when he was young. "This is the man you're looking for," Alves said to him "Are you a part of this meeting also?" Sharad a

    Silence fell into the room as soon as he finished speaking. Sharad nodded his head slowly as he thought about Eden's plan. It was a perfect one, he reasoned. "Perfecto," he said after a few seconds. Eden smiled briefly while staring at the man. "But the problem is, I'm not the man to help you get in. I can't get in touch with Derrick any longer, considering what he has done," Sharad said sadly "Then who is the man that can help me? Eden asked "The only man who can help is Alberto. He works as an agent for Derrick. He was the man who connected us for the business in the first place," he said "Where can I find him?" Eden asked immediately "You have to go easy boy, there is no way you can get through Alberto without Derrick suspecting foul play. Alberto would surely give you out to him," Sharad cautioned "I know, and I wasn't planning to go through him easily. I need to know where I can find him" he said boldly "He has been avoiding me ever since the incident with Derrick. He kn

"These guys are so damn hot," her friend Elena remarked "They're coming over to us,oh my gosh!! Isabel exclaimed. "Girls, you don't have to fool around" she cautioned. Just then, the guys stopped in front of them and the one in front came forward. She tried to look away from his grey eyes which were round and sexy. And the abs he was showing, did her no good as she wasn't so good at ignoring abs. "Hey" he said with a charming smile "Hi, how may I help you?" She asked bluntly while her friends giggled silently. "Saw you dancing on stage and I must remark, you're good and probably the best I've ever seen" he said, still smiling charmingly. "Thanks" she replied bluntly again while trying to avoid his gaze which was now fixed on her face. "Would you mind if I go on st

Men numbering up to Ten could be seen seated around a table drinking and smoking with girls who were half unclad seated beside them. Amongst them was a man in his early fifties who was dressed in a black emirati thobe. He has a well built body structure, with an oval shaped face accompanied with round silver eyeballs, and a pointed nose. On his side were two bodyguards and two half naked girls who were seated on his laps and caressing him. He seems to be enjoying himself as he was seen drinking and moving his body slowly to the song being played at the club. "Boss, there is a call for you" his bodyguard said and handed the phone over to him He looked at the caller and it was an unknown numb

Ever since he escaped death from the deadly Forzan brotherhood, he had not been able to get hold of himself as he had seen too many deaths and things he wasn't supposed to see. "Hey Eden, your attention is needed" Ella said as she walked Into the room. He nodded immediately and wore the black polo shirt on the bed. He stood up slowly and walked out of the room. As he entered the sitting room, he could see Gabriel with Ray sitting opposite him on the cushion. Ray gave him a Stern look as soon as he walked in. "Hey boy, you've been in your room all day are you ok?" Gabriel asked as soon as Eden sat down "Yes.. I'm.. fine," Eden mumbled. Ella smiled and sat beside him. She ruffled his hair and patted his shoulders. Eden felt relaxed as she did that to him. She reminded him of Mrs Sergio, Julius' mother.

He and Ella had been invited by the school authorities after the whole incident. Kareen's parents had been threatening fire and brimstone if anything should happen to their daughter. Thankfully she didn't sustain a life-threatening injury and the doctors had been able to place her in a stable condition, and so everything was settled amicably. "It was all your fault Ella, I warned you!!" Gabriel yelled again as he turned angrily to his wife who was sitting on the cushion behind him, looking so tired and frustrated. "It wasn't my fault Gabby, don't tell me that!! How was I supposed to know Ray could do such a thing like this!!" Ella yelled at once. " I made my intentions known from the onset!!

He took a left turn where he could see a passageway holding up to three cells. Two heavily armed policemen could be seen patrolling along the passage which was as calm as a graveyard. He stopped in front of the cell with a number tag, G3. The sound of the steel gate could be heard as it opened wide and he walked into the cell slowly. She rose up from the bunker bed and heaved a sigh as she turned to face him. Her lips curved into a mischievous smile as she saw him holding the tray with his head bowed. "Gracias" she muttered with a smile as she took the tray from him and he turned to walk away immediately. She sat on the bed with the tray resting on her legs.

"When Eden was taken back to the mansion, I began to notice a few unusual things about him. He sometimes refuses his meals, and he becomes emaciated. Sometimes, he would lock himself up in the room and I would hear him cry. One night, I saw Grace take him out of his room and she led him into the Master's room while he was away on a business trip.
