Lance got put of the shower and dressed up quickly. He was about to leave the house when his phone rang. Looking at the screen, Lance was elated. Kedade was video calling him. Lance pick kedade up the call immediately.
"Brother!" Kedade chirped."Hey there!" Lance chortled merrily."I thought of yousaid and John today. I really wanted to talk to you..." Kedade said happily. "John is not here though." Lance smirked mischievously. "Oh come on. I have a fiance now and I love him very much. By the way, he is saying hi." Kedade told him."I was not hinting at anything and tell Saga I said hi too.""Absolutely....are going for work?""Yeah...there is this case we have to finish once and for all.""Oh alright. Tell me when you are done so that we can start planning for the wedding.""You don't have to wait for me to do that, Kedade.""I know but I want you to be present at all times during the preparation of the weddiLance looked out the window and gazed at vast city of Flora. It looked calm from his 7th floor office but, he knew better. Nothing was as it seemed. The capital city was on fire; tensions were brewing as road blocks intensified; checkpoints were being avoided, crime was being conducted with caution and most of all, everyone was lying in wait to see what would happen next. John called out to Lance but he was too absentminded to hear his friend call. John stood up and walked up to Lance, touching his shoulder from behind. Lance quickly turned with a blank expression and found John gaping at him."Are you having jitters?" John asked him."Is it time for us to brief the teams?""No...I came in to invite for lunch." John said. "You have been locked up in this room since the meeting with the other Agencies's leaders ended.""Ah, yes." Lance retorted. "I had to think about something first.""Let us go and eat first. We will need the energy.""As you wish
"He is mad about something. I must find out what it is." Gabriella thought to herself and spatial the blood from her mouth."Lower your gaze!" Pavel shouted at her as he landed a slap on her face."What? Did you find out that they tricked you?" Gabriella's voice was breaking from time to time."Tricked who?" Pavel sneered. "Do you think destroying Sultan will stop my operations?""Oh so he still thinks the Chief Agent is dead. He is mad because Sultan was destroyed. I bet this is a move from NBCI. Nobody would have made this possible except for Lance and John...I am so proud....it gives me satisfaction to see Pavel so rattled.""No more questions, SP Gabriella?""No...but I am satisfied to see you so rattled, Pavel.""You shouldn't have said that!" Pavel said and punched her stomach again. Gabriella screamed in pain and smirked afterwards. Pavel realised that she was toying with him and left the room angry.Hearing about Pavel’s vi
"Yes. I would would choose to live on the farm with Gabriella." Pavel thought to himself as he walked down the hallway that led to the bar. He still could not get the question that doctor Mattel had asked him out of his head. Even in the bar, he sat down and stared at his drink while thinking about Dr. Master's question."But it is too late now. This is my life. My father and I are far too gone that there is no turning back." Pavel told himself repeatedly.A few minutes after Pavel had left, Gabriella slightly opened her eyes and closed them again since she did not want to talk to Pavel at all even though she was awake."He is gone now. You can wake up." Dr. Matteo told Gabriella after Pavel had left."How did you know that I was awake?" Gabriella asked as she opened her eyes."I did not give you a high dose of the sedative." Dr. Matteo replied after chuckling. "From now on, you have to avoid taking to Pavel. Maybe i can get him to budge by
Later that evening, Lance crept near the Tavern with Terry and John following him behind closely. The other team from AHUTA had lagged behind to serve as the backup team when the attack commenced. Outside the Tavern, all was calm. Not many people were passing by and they made it easy for the law enforcers to move without being spotted. They all decided to enter the Tavern in groups of two to three in order to look like regular customers. Inside, everyone was busy that they did not suspect that something was off. The dim light in the tavern also provided a good camouflage. Besides, the tavern was crowded and noisy with the loud disco. People were busy grooving and chanting to the beat of the song. The law discuss not allow many people to be crowded in one Tavern but these people did not mind. They were used to breaking the law all the time. Soon, Lance and all his teammates infiltrated the Tavern and spread out to avoid suspicion. Some took to the dance floor while others
Seeing that the security cameras were going off one by one, the security men in the guard room sprang up and ambushed to the door. One of them opened the door and dashed out out only to be met with a bullet from Lance's gun. The man looked at Lance with a blank expressing before his eyes shifted to his lower stomach, bleeding as blood profusely oozed out of his bullet wound. The others dashed into the hallway and engaged into a gunfight with Lance. It was not long before Calvary and some of the men heard the cacophony of gunfire and rushed to the scene. Calvary was confused to see Lance killing his men one by one before he realised that he had been tricked. Feeling betrayed and angry, Calvary opened fire from his revolver. The bullet missed Lance right ear with an inch as he sidestepped the attack with left leap and went down with a somersault. Reaching the floor with his side, Lance skidded to safety. All the while relentlessly shooting at his opponents. Calvary and some of his men
As soon as Leon and Gabriella were done talking, they both went inside the house and found Pavel seated in the floor with his head on his mother's laps. Gabriella was a little flustered. She was never used to seeing Pavel so vulnerable and child-like. The woman stopped talking and caressing her son's head when she saw Gabriella. Pavel stood up too."Mum...She is the woman I was talking about." Pavel told his mother. Gabriella stepped forward as Pavel's mother stood up from her seat. Gabriella was going to shake her hand but she received a hug instead."Thank you." The woman whispered into Gabriella's ear."For what?"Gabriella could not help but ask. Pavel's mother chortled merrily and cradled her face."Without you, my son would not have come home." She said happily. "How long are you staying?"Gabriella was reluctant prompting Pavel to answer on her behalf. "We will be here for a week.""Although it is quite a short period....I am hap
Arriving at home, Pavel told his mother and brother to pack up before making a call. A van arrived in half an hour later and Patel helped Leon pack their luggage. Gabriella and the two men's mother watched in silence. As soon as they were done, Leon and Patel spoke in low tones. It was obvious they were discussing where learn would take their mother. Soon after that, they both approached Gabriella and their mother."Mother it is time to go." Leon said."Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would have to leave this place." Their mother replied sadly before she turned to Gabriella with a frown on her face."I am sorry dear. I wish we could spend a week together as planned.""I understand..." Gabriella replied and the woman hugged her. Leon also approached her and hugged her."Perhaps this is the last time we will see each other." He told her. Gabrielle smiled-it was a bitter smile. She knew that this was indeed the last time; not only for
Back at the brothel, Lusha bolted to Gabrielle and hugged her. Pavel just walked past them and headed to the lobby where his new aide, Marcos was waiting for him. The two hugged lightly before Pavel took a seat and stared into space."Well....Did you do what you wanted?" Marcos asked him."Yes....I sent my family to a safe place." Pavel replied happily. "Now there is nothing stopping me from completing my plans.""What about Gabrielle? ""As usual, my mother loved her.""Too bad. You two won't ever be together.""It was her choice. She has exercised her will and It is time for me to exercise mine." Pavel replied."What are your orders?""We have an important adversary to deal with at the moment." Pavel said as he walked to the window and stared outside with a dismal expression."Don Francis." Pavel went on. "He dared to try and have experience assassinated.""What insolence! Give me your orde
Gabriella..." Lance whispered her name. Gabriella stood up, dashed to him and hugged him."Daniel.." Gabriella cried on his shoulders. John walked in and began scrutinizing the basement to give them space. He found Lusha hiding behind a barrel and offered her his hand for help. She readily agreed. Hugging lengthily, Gabriella and Lance cried in each other's arms for a while before John interrupted them."We should go now." He said. Gabriella smiled at him and saluted."At ease..." John said and began walking to the door. Lance looked at Gabriella and caressed her cheek. Lusha grinned happily as she walked behind them."Why didn't you salute me too? I am the senior most here.""Do you want to brag about it?" Gabriella scoffed. As they reached the door, Pavel suddenly showed up and kicked John torso, sending him to the cold floor beneath Gabriella and Lance."Nice to meet you, Daniel and goodbye!" Pavel cried out. Looking up, Lance reali
Pavel ordered that Gabriella be brought to him after being disappointed when he did not receive a response from NBCI about his demands. He was worriedly looking out the window when she was brought in and carelessly slumped into a chair in front of him. Pavel turned to looked at her and she scoffed, her eyes glistening with mixed feelings of hate and gratitude. Apart from locking her and Lusha up, nothing major had been done to me. She and Lusha had food to eat, a comfy bed to lay down on and no torture. This made her wonder why Pavel was hesitant to deal mercilessly with her when he had it in him to hurt her."Your people did not respond to my message." Pavel told her as he poured himself a drink."I am not a weakling that they should rush to rescue me.""Or maybe you are not important to them.""Keep dreaming, Pavel." Gabriella scoffed again."You are my prisoner and you want to be hardheaded?""Do your worst! I am done playing with y
Two days after Evans' Commission, the allied forces met again. Hopefully, this would be their last mission This time around, Lance had also called the board members at NBCI to be a part of this meeting as the spies that had been deployed to spy on el Paradiso's vast areas had returned and this meant that the time to go and ambush Dario Pavel and put a stop to his terror had come.Meanwhile, Lance and his allies were not the only ones preparing for an attack. Gabriella and Pavel were also secretly planning their moves against each other. From the start, Pavel had vowed that no one would take Gabriella away from him and his desire to accomplish his promise was at the core of his very own heart."Are you really going to put me with this plan?" Marcos asked him pensively. "It could backfire you know.""If it backfires, I will kill Gabriella myself." Pavel replied confidently."Boss, think about this again.""All I have done since I discov
