Nothing was making sense at the moment, all this while, Gal Mayer had been the main character, going about playing a good leader in Claudia while she had her game almost where she wanted it.A throaty laughter filled the room. It was Benson laughing so hard with his eyes half closed. This man must be crazy, alot of people seemed to be going crazy recently around here. Someone at gun point playing with his life? Or, does he think I wouldn't pull the trigger because he has a lot of valuable information for me? "You see, I am not scared of all these guns pointed right at me now. I have faced a more scary and worst situation, you don't want to know. The only reason I am letting out this information to you is not because of your little threats darling, but because your life became endangered the moment you got hold of this system now on my desk. The Dogma's, the Shalomes and the Marshalls' General herself would be searching the whole continent for you. There's no going back kids. You have
There went a loud awkward silence as we waited for him to answer my question.I knew if I had allowed Janet to do the rest of the questioning herself, Benson would either die, before or after he'd answered the questions. Janet is a merciless fellow, she can be very brutal sometimes. So, I made sure to avert it. When he was done wrapping his coke, he lit it, drew a long smoke and puffed it in the air as he relax on his seat, looking at our faces one by one, Mercury was looking very cold. A lot had happened in a short period of being a Marshall. "I am, Karl Sullivan's brother, but precisely, Archibald's descendant. I have a son at the Marshalls. He must have met you guys. His name is George Anderson. I use to be a very good friend of Karl in high school untill he took a turn I never liked, but I kept him close, not letting him to read me or what I was going to be up to. Wealth comes with violence they say and I knew if I ever tried talking him out of his plans, he would have me killed,
My amiable readers❣️ I want to use this free chapter to clear your possible misunderstanding about Karl Sullivan and Benson's relationship. Karl Sullivan and Benson attended the same high school, literally best friends. But later on. Karl started derailing from good Morales to loving affluence and wealth more than anything.So, Benson hated it, but had to pretend he was cool with it so as not to let Karl notice his displeasure. He started avoiding Karl who was not noticing. Then, Karl became filthily rich and built the Marshalls and KS army as you already know having his friend, Benson to be the Commander of the KS. When Gal got pregnant, he never knew it was Karl's child until, he browsed about him and found out other secret things he does.So, Benson knew that his best friend got his girlfriend and lover pregnant, but he was cool about it or rather, he tries to stay cool by getting every information about Karl and started plotting his downfall which was for the good of the people an
Now, I don't know what you must have heard about land mines, but as a soldier and as someone who had experienced its life wrath, I could tell you that, land mines are not merciful weapons unless they are designed to be. If not, a weight as light as two kilograms triggers it and would cause it to blow off immediately. The least of the damages could be having your leg amputated. It is a Miracle that I live to tell this story.***************** Standing as still as we could. Mercury was already crying and breathing heavily. She thought she was dead. We all did. "Quit crying and just stay still, soldier. If you shift your weight then it's your last Nerdy and as much as we are not so good a pair, I would still love to have you around, so just hang in there, we would figure this out. We've always did, okay?" Janet whispered to Mercury trying to calm her down. We were suspended in the air, we could feel our weights in our chests. The situation was so severe and life threatening, we were b
Heading to the Barracks, there was no soldier in sight, so we continued towards the President's office low on our backs and sharp with our eyes, he was the reason we came afterall, reaching his office, I jammed opened his door with my boot and immediately, three guns clicked at once with their mouths pointing towards us, halting our movements.Three soldier males stood there holding us at gunpoint obviously waiting for us all the while, unfortunately, the President was not there, we were made to drop our weapons and raise our hands in the air, captured.Amongst the three male soldiers were the Colonel, who smiled sinisterly remembering his first encounter with Janet and I. "Well, well, well. Fate brings us together yet again, kids." He said opening his palm towards one of the soldiers as he said, "Pay up Diego, I told you they were gonna survive the Land mine explosion, the Charlie Angels ain't no match for these girls, I am thrilled"Diego handed him some notes. They had a bet on u
After a long straight run, we halted to take in deep breaths as I held my knees with my hands to steady my balance, oh how I missed my burnt water flask, I needed it now more than ever. Janet tugged on my elbow pointing ahead of us, she was too breathless and spent to speak, gasping for air, she brought out her inhaler and used it to soothe her burning nerves. I made sure she was okay before looking at the direction she pointed, it was a ware house stocked up with weapons, we were desperately in need of them because our lives was in serious danger, getting to the door, it was locked. Janet immediately searched around for any possible stuff to knock out the lock, then she came back to the door with a long iron rod, she handed it to me and I inserted it on the padlock making sure it was balancing on the door, with one step back, I bent the rod together with Janet who held the very end of it and the padlock broke into two pieces making its way to the floor. Janet pushed the door open and
Damn, I would give it to Mr. President, he was a good executor of characters. He successfully fooled all of us who came to his official speech day to rescue his sinful ass, except of course The General and his son who initially had their heads all in, in the game.That very day, I and Mercury together with Janet felt for him because of the fear and trickling pebbles of sweat filled with worry he plastered all over his face, vulnerable. But today, he had a long face devoid of emotions and stoic with wickedness and atrocity. He stood up from his seat the moment he sighted Commander George Benson who stood along with the Marshall kids at our rescue and beck in his full regalia. The President, smized his eyes on the possibility of what was about to happen, he tugged gently on his tie that was resting perfectly on his well steamed suit as he heaved a deep sigh. "Brother, you and I are no much different from each other you know?" The President said circling his table to get a better view
"Looks like you have another battle to settle, Helion. Good luck!" Janet shouted patting my shoulder as she climbed through the skidding rails entering the copter. The rotary chopper of the copter was roaring in the wind, I held on to my beret to stop it from flying away as I looked at my sister who was glaring maliciously at me on her aviation headset and cockpit. "Are you alright?!"She yelled and I chuckled and nodded my head towards her, visibly angry yet she wanted to know if I was okay so she could kill me herself. That's what sisters are for. "Good, 'cause I have dug a grave specially for you. Hop in, I want you to stay beside me, c'mon!"She said patting the seat next to hers gesturing me to hop in.I hopped in and sat beside her and she took of, accelerating with speed, she handled the fly as if she had been doing it for ages. I put on my headset too, bracing myself and trusting Yuvonne to not crash us somewhere."You will need this."Yuvonne said handing me a bottle of wat
It has been five years since tranquility and harmony was restored in the three country's affected by the historic prison of stones.My mother came home to us and we nortued her back to a human being because she was looking like a scarecrow after serving some time behind the bars.Just like I imagined, a monument was built in our names and the nine of us, including Anderson, became the government's most valued assets and our accounts specifically was weekly blessed by them. I wished so badly I had a bet on that with Washington.Now, you must want to know who the chosen one became eventually, little Nora opened the spellbound vault because she had the bloods of a Shalonian and a Dogma running in her veins.Owning to the fact that she was fiery and dauntless regardless of her age, she did a magnificent job. Karl Sullivan and Gal Mayer were later convicted and were serving a life sentence in the state prison while Ragnolf Henry committed suicide when he found out that the Capleton's weren
"What do you mean?"I asked Julius who provided me with the first answer with my calmest voice ever."She said something that got Karl angry and he took her away."My chest began to heave up and down.I got infuriated to the point my heart swelled up and in my rage, I roared heavily making everyone in the other cell to stand up and hang onto the cylindrical rods that created a barrier between us.-"Helion?! Please stop! You are hurting yourself."-"Oh my God, this is not good.""Anyone with water?!"Most were trying to help while some just stared blankly. Everyone acting according to their reaction towards panic.My muscles became stiff as if my tendons was growing apart from my bones, the chains got hotter by the minute but I couldn't decipher which was burning up; my hands or the chains? There was a rush of strength in me, I couldn't contain my being.In the next minute, the chains clamping my wrists began to glow. A cobalt-blue rays as though it was being subjected to an oxy-ethylen
An hour en route to Ramoha, we started growing cold about everything.So many ambivalent thoughts began to slip into our heads through the windows we unknowingly created; doubt, fear and anxiety. We couldn't picture a future after Ramoha, it felt like the beginning of the end as Claudia and Shalonian's future where in our hands.But I brought our minds together, made everyone to take a deep breath and exhale as many times as possible our morbid thoughts away with it. Then, we said our war prayers before the last navigation, bringing us up above water.Ready as expected, we marched stealthily into Karl's HQ, but unfortunately, there were uncountable number of armed soldiers scattered around, alert and enthusiastic."This was not the plan guys. Julius promised that they wouldn't be this much."Mercury whispered."There was never a plan. I only speculated.""You what!? speculating in a matter of life and death? Aren't you a joke in a handsome face?"Collins looked like he could have kille
In twenty minutes, we all gathered round the oblong table we dragged earlier in the middle of the coven, Julius was the one to lead us in the plan but the problem is, he said everyone was allowed to opine.He stood up and started while we sat down and watched keenly waiting to interrupt when necessary, of course a bottle was going round already and you know who the waitress is."Guys, this is no child's play and take it from me, Karl is preparedly waiting on the other end for our arrival. Now he probably have over a hundred armed soldiers with him and we are apparently.....""Wait...we are literally sacrificing our lives? As what burnt offerings? for what again, can someone please remind me?"Collins was beginning to freak out, it just dawned on him."Okay how about I look after the boat while you all go and do your....'thing'?""Dude, it's 'our' thing now, it's either you do this with us or you swim back to the Marshalls."Henry was not having it at all.Julius sighed and continued, h
Literally like forever later when I managed to open my drowsy eyes, goodness I was having a very hard head bang as if a drum roll was going on in my head, I actually got up because of a muffled high pitched noise I heard in my subconscious state, but now half awake I observed that the noise was coming from Julius' compass wrist band and he had that hand over my head through the night.Darnit! It was an emergency blaring alarm and Julius was so stoned and was sleeping beautifully like a new born, he didn't even notice. How professional, Janet took the odds though.I frantically wiggled his sleeping butt to wake him up and when he did, he stood up immediately, cursed and rushed to the helm while Henry and Washington followed behind him."We are all gonna die!"Collins whimpered in fear waking up the rest of the crew who were oblivious of what was happening, we all felt the urge to go see what was going on but the helm is not a place to be crowded, also it's the most sensitive part of th
Henry and Daniel headed to the coven while Julius made to trail after them but he needed to tidy up one or two to make sure of our safety, I stood by the door, floating in my head at the thought of the beauty that stood at the helm, I was drawn by his charisma, his aura and personality, I hypnotizingly tiptoed behind him, stood on my toes and hugged him from behind as I caressed his neck with my nose taking in his fresh scent and aftershave, I got tipsy already, he was simply alluring and I felt proud, knowing he somehow belonged to me, alone. My hand made for his nipples as I gently squeezed on each bud, he was giving out short helpless gasps responding to the touch."Not you avoiding my stares earlier and here you are now, going all shameless and naughty, you don't know how much those cute acts of yours arouses me, Hel. I don't mind making love to you here."Hearing that, I needed no wizard to tell me to let go of him, because he doesn't bluff when matters like that came up. As if he
Morning came and the seven of us already came out standing before the Bay, out front. The Bay was facing the pacific directly for easy take off. My head was swelling up at the vast water body and the breeze it produced, it was simply overwhelming. The ship was already halfway into the water, she just sat there looking pretty and gigantic and waiting for us.All of us but Janet was ready and present, we had to wait for her. Just like Julius promised, he already serviced the boat and made sure we had enough gas, I was feeling a little nostalgic about the whole situation because I never knew our quest would bring us to the point of using a submarine, I made sure I brought a lot of bottle water, talk about staying sane. Everyone of us was on a travelling backpack with our stuffs prepped inside of it. I didn't forget to bring along the phone, I went online last night right after Yuvonne got done with praising the hell outta Julius, she slept off immediately and I brought out the phone and s
"Wait, we are traveling on submarines?"Yuvonne asked with a narrowed brow. "Yes, SNX-921 precisely. Our safety is ninety percent assured if we ride on her."Julius encouraged. "Pfft, ninety percent? What happens to the ten percent huh?"Washington pressed on."You can't be so sure Daniel, even if we are to fly, you wouldn't be sure of our seventy percent safety."Julius answered. "Ok, guys I want out! I mean I don't have any specific or special skills to be in this team apparently, I will only wish you guys luck! I can't even last three minutes on a ship without barfing and messing myself up, not to talk of a submerged submarine? I am an alpha by the way and for a reason, so yeah byeee!"O'Connor said as he stood up and briskly left the country yard, swinging his butt sideways with his hand dangling beside him and the other one in his pocket. "Good riddance dude."Henry muttered to himself. "Who else wants to use the door?"Julius asked but nobody said nothing, so he continued,
Julius looked around and found out that most of us were freezing cold already and with what he was about to disclose, it was going to be a long night. Looking over at the hearth place, there was no woods to make fire. He brought out his key bunch and started, "There's a cellar down here through that door..."He said pointing at the door but Janet interrupted him,"There has been a cellar all along?" "Yes Janet, but unfortunately for you, it only stores woods for the hearth." "Oh c'mon!"Janet grunted in disappointment. Henry stood up and took the key from Julius and Linda accompanied him to get some woods for the hearth. Collins stood up and went to the bar to fill a glass for himself as we waited for the two."Make two please."Yuvonne requested and Collins came back to the sofa with two glasses and gave one to Yuvonne who smiled thankfully at him and started sipping."You know, Anthony was the only person that actually owned a phone in this place untill I saw you with one Helion
