Unlike his other meetings where he'll usually ask her to accompany him... even though she was not obliged to, this time he did not mention anything related to that. Instead he left her with tons of work to complete.

She left the office pretty late that day, on getting home, to her greatest dismay, she discovered that her fridge was as deserted as that of a bachelor's.

With the hope of getting a quick bite perhaps from an all-night diner, she made her way down the lonely streets of Limesville. The distant chirping of the crickets and cracking of the mid-road trees as the night wind whipped their branches.

Fabiola had herself wrapped up in a gray shore, shielding her from the crude night cold.

The dinner wasn't a long way from home, just 7 blocks, so she decided to beat it on foot. After all, she had not done any exercise or worked out in almost a week. She needed to at least get some cardio.

"A chicken sandwich please!" She said when she finally got to the dinner. "And chips with ketchu

    "Where'd she go?" She heard one of the men ask his partner."I don't know," the other man replied."Com'on, let's find her.""I'll go this way, you go that way." She heard them say.She took a deep breath, waiting for the coast to be clear before she could grab her takeout and leave. She listened attentively as the two pairs of footsteps gradually faded.Her eyes bulged out when she saw a young Irish setter."Shsh!" She placed her finger hoping to silent the little dog from barking and selling her out.It stared at her wagging its tail."Hey cutie, go on, shoo! She whispered, with a nervous smile as she tried to shoo the dog away.It stared at her and fortunately it wagged its tail and turned away.She breathed a sigh of relief, only for her heart to skip a beat in fright when the cute puppy turned back to her and barked."No, no! Don't you dare!" She ground her teeth together as she threatened the poor dog.Her threats were not enough to silence it though."Boss we could not find her

    The phone rang, she picked it up on the first ring."How the hell did you get entangled with these people?" Dom's voice echoed at the other end of the call."What people?" She asked innocently.She was tired to stupor, and hungry. The last thing she needed right now was to solve another damn puzzle of her life."Glacier's Cartel." Dom said."Glacier's Cartel?" Fabiola asked in surprise. "Are you sure about that info right now?" She was genuinely puzzled."Yep." He replied plainly."Well, I don't even know why they're after me, maybe I got mistaken for somebody else." She said, munching her sandwich savagely."Are you sure you haven't insulted or punched anyone recently?" Another voice asked."Carlson?" She called in all glee and excitement, causing some food crumbs to fall off her mouth, she did not mind though."Yep, baby girl, how are you?" He replied with equal excitement."I'm doing great. Sorry, I promised pops I was gonna swing by to spend some time with you, but unfortunately,

    As her head hit her pillow, she could not help but have a retrospect about the day, especially concerning the assignment Pops had commissioned her to do.While she and Brant were making out in his office, she had quietly slipped a magnetic undetectable bug on his phone in his breast pocket. What she could not understand was why Grandmaster wanted to bug Brantley's phone. Even though this fight ought to be her fight, she sometimes felt like Grandmaster was taking some steps out of his own personal satisfaction."Ah, all the same… I gotta get to the bottom of it all." She whispered to herself, pushing the thought aside."This is for you guys." She stared at an old portrait of her family, hanging on the wall directly opposite her bed. Grandmaster had gifted her the portrait on her 10th birthday, and since then, it had been her most priceless possession and source of inspiration.***********The week went by in a flash, Brant had not pulled any other stupid stun trying to prove her ide

    "What a lazy ass." "You do realize that you are sitting just directly opposite me right?" He asked."I can see that." "Meaning, I can hear you clearly." "Oh!" She did not bother feigning ignorance."In the meantime,go to the kitchen and ask for Becky, tell her to make me a cup of coffee, and then you bring it to me." He said without raising his head.She stayed silent."What are you waiting for?" He briefly spared her a glance before dropping his eyes once more on the files.She chuckled.It caught his attention finally.She chuckled again.He raised a brow in confusion.She began laughing.Now, he was worried. She had his full attention.She laughed for almost 45 seconds straight."What….is…. funny?" He asked in genuine puzzlement."I see what you are trying to do, but trust me, that ain't gonna work boy….not today." She laughed mechanically, while pointing a finger at him, more in denial."What did I do? I just asked for a cup of coffee." He asked innocently. She shook her head,

    "Are you ok? Or lost?" The man finally spoke.That voice, it was the same, even better in reality than on video. She was staring at him and listening to his calm familiar voice."Oh, Mom, Dad… meet My girlfriend, Fabiola McDarryl." Brantley's voice echoed behind her. Only when he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his embrace did she finally turn her head to gauge him.Surprisingly, she did not protest."Oh!" Mrs White was the first person to react."And she is also my secretary." He added."Oh!" Mrs White raised her eyes.Fabiola's eyes traveled back to the couple, with her heart pounding violently in her chest for a lot of reasons.Mrs White took a moment toscrutinize Fabiola from head to toe."How are you, Fabiola?" Mrs White's voice echoed distantly."Hey?" Brant tapped her lightly on her waist. "Well, she just received some bad news, so….." he raised his head to his parents and flashed them a forced smile."Oh, now I understand why she seems lost." Mrs White said.

    "I can fuck you for dinner and kill you for breakfast. I can fuck you now if I want to, and you won't be able to resist, that's because you are just an available dick to me." She smiled menacingly. " So don't think that that one night meant a thing to me." She stated.He shivered, his heart dropped, not that he was expecting anything by inviting a girl to his hotel room, but after knowing who that girl was, he somehow wanted to think that their time meant something to her…or else, why chose to get in bed with him as the best way to make her come back."I don't let my boyfriend's fuck me, I let them make love to me!" She tiptoed and attacked his lips with her warm moist mouth.He was just too stunned to react, but by the time he decided to open his mouth and reciprocate the kiss, she broke it and immediately left for the door. He had not recovered from her verbal assault, now this? Shit!He smiled when she left. "I guess you do not need any help then." He shook his head and touched h

    Pops stood up and welcomed Fabiola in a tight hug.She relaxed in the comfort of his arms. He was an old plumbed man with a developing pot belly and overgrown greyish dotted beard covering the line of his mouth, but his handsomeness was still no doubt unable to be concealed.He could kill for his cigar and whiskey or vodka. He had a permanent strong scent that she'd gotten used to already… "I miss you Pops." She wrapped her arms around him and whispered with a cute pout. This was the only place where she could be herself and not have to pretend. She could let go of her pain and break her shell because she knew that she couldn't be any safer anywhere else on the planet except here__in his arms."It's been just a couple of weeks." Pops said with a soft chuckle."A couple of weeks and four days, that's a long time." She complained."We've been apart longer than that," "Yeah, but in different towns or countries, not in the same town." She argued. "You are beginning to sound as if I mea

    "Come with me," Dom offered."Don't boss me around, I know my way around." She said, going back to her hostile tone. Dom rolled his eyes at her.They went through the shelf door, it led to a completely different world underground as they took the descending stairs__not that either of them weren't familiar with the scenario.They passed the dimly lit tunnels, bypassing numerous rooms, each built for different purposes…storage, experiments, target practice and the list continues."How is Carl?" Fabiola asked as they took another turn leading to what seemed like the end of the burrow. The rooms or stalls here were much smaller and barely lit."He is…." Dom paused, thinking of the perfect word to describe Carl. "...Just Carl, I do not know how to describe him. But he is just the same as always." Dom said."You got any idea on what he is working on, I mean, like the reason why he is presently in Limesville?" She pressed, trying to siphon information from Dom."Nahh, but I heard word flyi

One of the Court's IT workers announced.It was there, everything….from the squabble in the office to the phone call in the garage.Everyone gasped and turned to look at Mr White.Mrs White passed out.Brantley rushed to his mother.The twins held each other's hand tightly.Brenda leaned back in her chair.Mila's mind was teleported Somewhere else.

    COURT TALES OF TRUTHFourteen minutes.It was almost time……"It is already time, your Honour, we should proceed." Grandmaster stood up and said.That was the advantage of representing yourself."We still have some more seconds, your Honour." The prosecution quickly added.The judge nodded. Grandmaster stood up to say something again, but his words were interrupted by the loud opening of the door.Everyone's attention was directed towards the door.One after another, all those who were against Grandmaster released breaths they never knew they were holding…surprisingly, even the judge.Disappointment was evident on Grandmaster's face.Dr Edgar accompanied Mr Walborn in the courtroom. Mila and Freya waited outside.When Brantley did not see Mila in the two-man procession, he immediately stood up on his feet and went outside."Which of these men is the supposed witness?" The judge asked even before Dr Edgar and Mr Walborn could reach the front of the courtroom.Dr Edgar indicated that i

    THE CLOCK IS TICKING"Can the prosecution explain to the court why your said witness is not yet available?" The judge asked. She was getting impatient, it was evident."Technical transportation issues." The state lawyer responded.He leaned towards Emille and asked, "what is keeping your witness?" He asked in a whisper."What is holding him back is the only reason why they would not want him to testify, but don't bother, he's being escorted by one of the best bodyguards." Emille replied."Excuse me." Emille stepped out of the court to call for Mila.Brantley had arrived in the court too. He was worried, not that Mila could not take care of herself, but because he loved her, so it was natural for him to worry."What the hell is going on?" Emille asked in a concerned tone as soon as Mila answered."We got company." Mila replied."Do you need more refreshments?" Emille asked."I got it, I guess water would be enough to entertain them." Mila said over the phone."Good then, tell me where

    THE AMBUSH.Randy rode in another car, tailing closely behind Mila.When she got to her condominium, she did not step out, rather she called Dr Edgar to bring Mr Walborn outside.Dr Edgar had personally selected a suit for Mr Walborn. The different clothes made him look 10 years younger."You look handsome, Mr Walborn." Mila smiled as she held the door open for him."Thank you, child. At least this doctor here has fine taste in quality clothes, only if he could put those skills to what I put in my stomach." Mr Walborn glared at Dr Edgar. Mila could not help but laugh."You look handsome too." She mouthed to Dr Edgar when Mr Walborn got into the car. Dr Edgar was dressed in a simple shirt and trousers, he had a clean shave. That alone made him look really different."Thank you. You look stunning yourself." Dr Edgar complimented back. Compliments were being poured at randa."Thank you for coming with us." Mila smiled at Dr Edgar."I have to do my job as a babysitter." Dr Edgar gave a sh

    NAKED SLEEPOVERThe newly bonded family decided to spend the night together.Carl and Phelix were pals, they warmed everyone's heart, especially Mila because she never known that he was good with kids. She had no idea whether or not he loved kids, she did not even know what he loved.Pops had ruled their lives in such a way that all their likes were buried within them and only what he approved, that was what they did…to his face though.She allowed the cold water to run down her body. Everyone together, the smiles, the crying, the hugs, the laughter…this is what she'd ever wanted, not tension, the type of atmosphere she grew up being used to under Pop's roof.It was less than twenty four hours, and everything changed. For once in her life, she did not have to worry about tomorrow. Only if everyone she loved could be here…Only if Dom had lived to experience this different breeze…even just for a day."Fuck this life!" She cursed, turned off the shower, threw a bathrobe on her wet body.

    BRENDA IS SCARYBrantley laid down on his bed, staring at the ceiling while he pondered about what Brenda told him earlier.Brenda was nosy, everyone knew that, but she wasn't a liar. She could be blunt sometimes, but the kid sure knew when to keep her mouth shut.She was smart too, probably more than all of them…well, except him, he had a photographic memory after all.He knew that she would not tell him all those things except something more was going on in that house. He had plans on saying hi to his mom before leaving, but he left without saying a word. He felt guilty, but he could not do otherwise.With the revelation, he wasn't sure to face anyone, especially his father.He needed time to think. He could not just jump into conclusions, he had to get more details about everything before concluding."She said that she was pushed, by who? Who would want to hurt you?" He pondered out loud.'Then why did she keep quiet only to say it now?' He thought."Who are you going to see in th

    WHAT BRENDA KNOWS'Why do good men die and the selfish monsters live?' Brantley pondered as he walked down the corridors of his father's house empty mindedly."Do you want to bulldoze me before you notice that something is in front of you?" Brenda was starting in front of him, with her short self and crutches.He halted abruptly, for real, he had not taken note of the girl."Oh, I see you've upgraded to crutches. They're cute." Brantley rubbed her head like a kitten.She supported her weight on one crutch, freed her other hand and used it to slap his hand off."Why are you always fighting with father?" The youngest White asked.Bran was stunned, he did not expect that question from here. He was speechless for a few seconds, trying to think of an appropriate response to that."We were talking, maybe a little of a disagreement, but we were not fighting." Brantley looked down and said."You were loud!" She raised one side of her lip, confident about her statement and presumption."Wha

    SWEET REUNION"Nice meeting you." Carl forced a smile.The expression on his grandparents' faces changed immediately.He sunkened his shoulders, 'Just as I had expected, outcast!' The words reverberated in his mind.He wished he could turn back the hand of time to just a 5 minutes ago, he'd make sure to get away from here and prevent none of this from happening."Mason had a son?" Papa Rivers looked at his wife. "Isn't he handsome? He looks like an angel." Mama Rivers praised.Carl raised his brows. 'Did they mean the opposite of what they said, or…he had judged the situation wrongly.He looked at Mila, she smiled at him."How old are you, boy?" Mama Rivers asked."I'm 28 years old, ma'am." Carl held his hands together in front of him as though he was for a religious procession.Mila raised her brows and hung her mouth open at his lie."Nonsense, don't call me ma'am. I am your grandmother. Come here!" Mama Rivers rebuked him and hugged him."Just for the record, he is still 27 years o

    OUTCAST"Why do you want to see Fabiola?" Brantley decided to ask at one point. He just refilled their tea cups.Mama Rivers who was about raising her cup to take a sip, paused mid way. She stared at her husband who also had the same look on his face."Oh, we knew her when she was a kid. Since we were in town, we decided to drop by." Papa Rivers replied."Oh, ok. I see." Brantley nodded. There was an awkward silence among them."We'll see your father and enjoy the view a little before going back." Papa Rivers added."I will be glad to show you around town. I bet they'll be so much to entertain both of you." Brantley smiled."Yeah." And there goes the silence again. ________"I got a text from Brant, he said that the package was at my doorstep." Mila looked at her brothers. They were just touching down back in Limesville."Just as we thought." The ever nonchalantly Emille said.Carl was silent."I bet they got my address because of the media." Obviously."So…we are going to your hou
