Marco’s POV“Hey….” I was about to ask how everything was from their side knowing she was somewhere I could not even get to understand fully. But after a soft mention of my name, I couldn’t hear anything other than faint sobs. It was so faint that I wasn’t even sure I heard it right. I lifted my eyes to look at Matt and asked to change the call. “Can we turn this into a video call?” I was wary. Aside from that, it felt like it’s been so long since the last time I saw her face.“If it’s only for us to decide, you can just press the video call button. But we don’t know their situation at the moment, so you have to ask them instead of me.”Matt had his face to me as he spoke but he also made a sign with his hand if I wanted him to leave and give me privacy. I nodded. Skye and Gab must have heard my words to Matt because only a seconds after, I heard a few beep sounds on the phone and when I looked to check its screen, I saw an incoming video call request. I did not waste a breath and
Matt’s POV“Naomi, have you seen where our fascinating patient went?” I asked the nurse with humor although my face was not showing any of it. “Well, at least he was a patient before he woke up….” I added. “Before he woke up? What about now?” Naomi asked with a hint of disbelief and soft chuckle. “Yeah, before he woke up. Because now, I am no longer sure he needs any of our attention. He isn’t even seeking our assistance. He is nowhere to be found, and he isn’t looking anything close to a patient. See, he isn’t where a patient should be lying down and resting…?”I was not worried about his health, seeing how he was doing fine. I even checked his vitals, and I just finished running tests on his blood sample because I brought everything I could mobilize in order to have a full observation on the immediate tasks concerning Marco’s condition, I also checked his medical files from Naomi’s reports from the top to bottom, but I did not find anything that threatens his life. Maybe, and hop
Marco’s POV“Calvin, do you think we can move swiftly and discreetly?” I asked my head of security, Calvin Brook. Apparently, according to Calvin, Skye and Gab did not bring anyone from my security team to secure my safety while they are not by my side. But when I spoke to Gab about it, he also explained that they needed to move with people that won’t have any connection with me. Gab assured me that the people he had with him to assist him and Skye were more than reliable and efficient to easily shake hands with after the job was done. To assure me of his words, Gab even gave me every detail that concerned their mission on the go, so that I could have a trace of their situation. I would also get to send rescue when the time comes that they ever need one. “You won’t believe how big time the people we get to bump into in this place are,” Gab mentioned during our video call conversation earlier. “I, myself, had only heard of their legendary names, although I can see the manifestations
Skye’s POVWhile speaking with Marco, an idea popped into my mind. I got excited and put our call to an end. Anyway, it wasn't safe to stay on the phone for long. And talking to Marco in person was more captivating for me. “I want to expedite the wake,” I told Gab as soon as the conversation with Marco ended. I was thinking about wrapping things up here, and going home to see Marco. I wanted to check his condition with my own eyes and I was convinced that only by then would I feel peace. “What do you want me to do?” Gab asked in return. This man is making me smile at how easy it is to talk with him. I never expect him to be this obedient based on my first impression of him, but as soon as I gave the chance of accepting his presence with Marco and I, and investing my trust that this man will not hesitate to put his life in line just to keep me safe, I have noticed he wasn’t was I thought he was. Gab is a reliable and dependable companion. He is almost a step ahead in making sure o
Gab’s POVI noticed the weirdness in Attorney Newman’s behavior. He was sweating and obviously acting odd, compared to how he was earlier with us. If I would let my gut feelings lead me, I was suspicious of his way of acting at the moment. I walked closer to the lawyer. I was thinking about asking someone else to tell me where this man was before coming here, but as I got closer, I noticed something different on the buttons of his suit vest. It was a camera lens! ‘How bold of him!’ I thought. Bold indeed, because it was either he was brave enough, or he was foolish enough to provoke Skye despite what he had witnessed in the meeting room earlier. Nevertheless, his actions angered me. He was clearly putting Skye’s life in danger by giving whoever is behind the monitor screen of this hidden camera an eye and a chance to watch Skye’s actions in the privacy of her room. So, I discreetly pulled my hand gun and pointed its barrel’s end on the lawyer’s waist. He looked at me with eyes lik
Winston’s POVI was anticipating some of the consequences that might pop after the young Lady Supremo took that shot on the hidden camera that she discovered the lawyer was wearing in his suit vest. To add more conflict to the situation, the poor lawyer was in so much shock and drowning in fear when he was threatened to wear a hidden camera in his clothing knowing he would probably get to stay close to the young Supremo, who is without a doubt being hated by everyone of the remaining six elders at the meeting table earlier. So, I gave my men a direct order through our service line to keep their eyes and ears open for anything and everything. But not being able to see the situation where the gun fires were falling like the rain in the midsummer still made me feel anxious. So, I walked ahead of the young Lady as she was walking with her personal bodyguard, whom I am also quite impressed with how efficient he was in doing his tasks, Gabby. I have assigned enough men to watch her back as
Marco’s POVDespite Matt Shannon’s disapproval, I insisted on acting on my instincts. I spoke to my men assigned for my security and we arranged plans on how I could leave the house without being noticed. “I don’t know, Matt. I just feel like something bad is going to happen if I stay here and ignore my gut feeling about something. I am even lost to think and identify what it is specifically. But I need to do something!” These were the words I said to Matt when he insisted I tell him why I was so eager to leave Skye’s home when I was told not to. Matt even tried to clarify things to me that my actions might cause more harm to the two, Skye and Gab, nevertheless, I ignored his warnings and shut Matt off when I spoke to my men while asking someone else to watch over the good doctor so he wouldn’t be bothering me, or trying to stop me. And with the help of my men, we were able to come up with a good plan and as the creepy feeling inside me intensified, I asked everyone to move as soon
Matt’s POVWe arrived at Marco’s mansion and without leaving his side, I walked into the basement with him and just as I had anticipated, Marco opened the vault but not before telling his men to make sure everyone is standing and securing their designated posts. “What are you looking for?” I asked Marco when I noticed he was agitated as he was digging into things. “I am not sure, man, I am merely rummaging through like I am looking for a needle in a haystack, but not knowing if I am looking for a needle or a toothpick or anything of the sort!” Marco sighed as distress seemed to intensify in his aura. I tried to lighten up the mood by sharing sincere advice. “I think you should take a deep breath and calm down. Your emotion being all over the place might be clouding your senses,” I said as I looked around the room. I tried to make my words sound as easy as how I wanted Marco to take them without adding any more pressure to my point by not meeting eyes with him. I arrived at the gla
