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
Skye’s POVI was not stupid not to expect that when I shoot that lens of the hidden camera in Attorney Newman’s suit vest’s button, something would happen. I was ready. Or maybe my anger was just too much to give a damn about anything else. But when we were about to face the crowd, where I was going to announce that the process of the wake would be quickened, we did not even get to the main lobby where the guests were gathered in front of the temporarily made altar, when a heart shaking sound of gunfire broke the silence of the whole surroundings. I was shaken! I froze in my spot where Gab protectively covered his body on top of me while we were down on the ground to avoid getting hit by any flying bullet. I closed my eyes tightly as I tried to collect myself in composure. I did not want to appear scared, although I was in cold sweat all over. I even think my soul escaped my body for a moment as I shook like a leaf in so much fear. But I did not want anyone to see me like a dog wit
Gab’s POV“With the commotion that occurred here, the authorities will no doubt be here very soon,” I said to Winston when he asked me what to do next. “I don’t want her to get exposed, so we are leaving the building.”“The whole area is already surrounded. You might not see it, but there are a lot of authorities hiding everywhere and would grab anyone that would step out of this building,” he answered.I was taken aback.“What are you talking about?”I stared at the man sharply.“Who are you?!” I asked again. This time my tone was a bit harsh. But recalling how this man was he
Marco’s POV As soon as the news reached my knowledge about the sudden sound of gunfire in the building where Skye and Gab were said to be holding a funeral for the Naharts, I ordered all my men to gear up because we were leaving as soon as possible. I was worried Skye and Gab would insist I stay down, I did not contact them until I was ten minutes away from arriving at their location. Just as I anticipated, Skye tried to talk me out of it. But I remained firm with my decision. Not a chance will I let her be in such a dangerous place, even if she wasn’t alone, because Gab was with her. But I needed to be right next to her! With her identity that I have found out, although I am still in awe and greatly bewildered, I cannot hold myself back to see her and tell her the news about her parents. “Marco, you can’t be here with us, stay outside and stand by, we will call you when we need your help. Right now, I really doubt your presence here would mean anything with sense,” Skye said ov
Winston’s POVI sent the three right to the door of Mister Nahart’s hidden home. I was not sure who the new guy is but I am glad to know that with how I can see from the eyes of this man, he is as protective as the man named Gabby. Considering the situation right in front of our faces, all hands willing to help will be welcome and appreciated.On my way back to the hotel lobby, I contacted the appointed commander of the secret army that I had summoned to assist us in the building earlier.“Stand by. Keep a safe distance. I have men blending in the crowd and in the surroundings to help me if the situation becomes difficult to handle.”Then I dialed the direct line connecting to Mister Goerge Nahart.
Marco’s POV“Are we safe here?” I asked as soon as we got into the door which was said to be the door to where Skye and Gab were supposed to find refuge before I came. “I believe so,” Skye answered. “I will check the monitors first. You too, catch up, I will join you, guys, as soon as I am done checking things around the place for security,” Gab rushed walking deeper into the house, I guess, to do just as he had told us. “Okay,” Skye answered readily.I nodded in response but as Gab had his back to me, I don’t know if he saw my gesture, but I believe he did not have to wait for my reply. “There is a room where we can see what is going on outside,” Skye said as if informing me the details of the place. “I believe that is where Gab was heading to, let’s check and see for ourselves if we are safe to get out of here or if it would be better to stay down and wait a little more,” she added, walking in the same direction where Gab went.But instead of saying anything, I couldn’t help sta
Gab’s POVI noticed Marco was engrossed in his thoughts, but I did not say anything until I heard him say something which I was almost convinced he did not mean to say out loud, yet his words reached my ears and I could not let it slip away. “Yeah, if you are that worried, tell me first and I will help you explain everything to her later when she wakes up,” I said as cautiously as I heard him say those words earlier. Just as I expected, he was surprised to find out I heard him talking. But Marco must have taken the logic of my words, because after a few moments of thought, he started to open up. “Remember the girl I have been looking for all these time?” Marco asked.His voice was in control as if he was worried Skye would suddenly wake up and hear our conversation before he could tell me everything there was for him to share with me before telling Skye. I nodded. I was feeling the weird sensation that somehow, the next word Marco was going to say would be the same thoughts that I
