“Honestly, the previous night; i went to the bar to drink away my sorrows, and i got drunk. I’m still wondering how i got home. I woke up suddenly very early this morning, and i was about heading to the bathroom, when the bullet went by the side of my ear. It was a near death experience, it’s God’s grace that I’m still here,” Simon paused, he looked at the cop to see his reaction; all what he just narrated was true. He hadn’t gotten to the part where he needed to add the lies. He wondered why he kept bumping into this particular cop, because of this; the police might have to put patrol around his house and that wouldn’t be good, Simon wasn’t sure what Freddy was up to. He still had no idea who wanted him dead, but it was still certain to him that it wasn’t Freddy. The only way to find out was to confront Freddy. “You mean there was a sniper guy?” Nick questioned, stunned. Who would want this guy’s life to end so badly that they hired an assassin with a sniper! All the previous assa
Julia felt the coldness of the concrete floor run through her legs upward to her thighs, like she was just stepping on them for the first time. Why did Nick leave a note? She wasn’t expecting to see him in bed this late in the morning, he was a cop after all. Julia walked slowly to the lamp desk, she picked up the small piece of paper that looked like it was torn from a little notepad, and sat on the bed. She covered her mouth in shock, when she saw what the note contained; it was a very short note, but the words were heavy and unexpected. It read; “Will you be my girlfriend? Yours truly, Nick” A very short and straightforward note, he drew the love symbol beside his name and colored it with the black pen. Julia was dumbfounded, she fell on the bed with her back, staring at the old fan in the room. Why now? It was too sudden, this was what she wanted if Gonzalez hadn’t showed up, even though that man was rude and authoritative, she wanted him. The wealth and h
He was sitting right there, on her bed. A cold smile on his face. Diana heart raced, her hands left the door knob voluntarily, she couldn’t comprehend the situation she was in. How did he get into her locked room? Gonzalez was still dressed in the same suit he wore the other night when he was flirting with her, that means he had been here waiting for her all night. For a man that doesn’t walk without guards, they might be anywhere around the house. Diana took a deep breath and exhaled softly, she had to calm herself down. “Nice room you’ve got here, miss Diana.” He spoke first, breaking the awkward silence that had been between them for almost a minute. Gonzalez glanced around the room as if he had just entered it, then his gaze landed back on Diana’s face. “Why are you so surprised, or should I say confused or maybe you’re afraid. If it’s the latter, I am definitely alone, no guards.” He uttered again, the cold smile glued to his face, and his grey eyes made it look more scary.
Diana stood upright, her eyes wide open like they were about to pop out from their sockets. Gonzalez had just mentioned her husband’s name, she had reached her surprise and getting shocked limit. It was high time she started listening to what Gonzalez had to say, the certainty that he knew her and everything about her was clear now. There was no doubt about it. She continued staring at his back figure as he was staring at the mirror, who would think there was someone out there who was monitoring or following her in silence. She didn’t remember seeing Ryan Gonzalez anywhere, the first time she saw him, was the previous night. Yet, this man knows everything nobody in Ohio knew. Diana closed the bedroom door that had been opened since she entered the room, she was ready to hear what he wants and what he was doing in her house. Maybe if she gave him listening ears, he’d tell her who he was and why he’s after her. Although, Diana knew who he was; he was the son of her boss after all, b
“I’m not so good in finishing off someone once and for all, if I’m to kill you, you’ll die slowly and coldly from intense pain,” Gonzalez added, his grey eyes had become a little cold than usual. “Don’t make me do it, Diana,” Gonzalez continued, moving closer to Diana slowly. Diana could feel the aura of evil all over him, her chest tightened. Who would have known that this man was after her life all this while, but how? How would her boss son be an assassin, there were still many things she needed to understand. Mr. Adams had threatened to kill her but who would have thought he’d go this far, sending someone to find and finish her off. He didn’t just send any random assassin, Gonzalez doesn’t seem like one, he was a wealthy man. If Mr. Adams had ordered him to carry out such a thing, Gonzalez might be indebted to Mr. Adams. Diana took two steps backwards, she wasn’t expecting such a threat, it left her with no single choice. “I know you might be so confused now, wondering how i
His pink lips brushed her soft ones, it was a dry kiss. Diana tried to struggle free, but he was too strong for her, she couldn’t even move her body; her waist was hurting from his tight grip. He pushed her to the door and held her two hands with his own, lifting them above her head and pressing them against the door. “There’s no need to struggle, once we get this started, you’ll definitely want me too,” Gonzalez whispered coldly, he was trying so hard not to lose control of himself. Today wasn’t the day, he needed to give her some time to think, but still; he couldn’t bring himself to stop the harassment so quickly, the little intimidation he was giving her brought him pleasure somewhat. Holding her hands up and pressing them against the door, he tried to kiss her; but Diana was evading his kiss by moving her head left and right. There was no doubt, his lips were so attractive; but she was never going to fall for that. Not for someone like Gonzalez, but still; she knew he didn’t
Simon shrugged off the guards, they wanted to hold him down again but Freddy waved them off. Staring at Simon with angry eyes, the guards left the office. “What is this about Simon?” Freddy asked, relaxing back on his black leather swirl chair, as usual, he was putting on his black blazers, his bald head looked like sunlight illuminating the room. There were several loads of cash on his table and other contrabands, Simon seem to have entered at the wrong time. Hatake was standing next to him, with his mask on, hands on his sword at all times. The two guards that stood behind them were also on alert. “Don’t pretend Freddy, only a person working for you would have possession of a military grade sniper,” Simon countered, although he was pretending to be angry; he was actually getting angry just by staring at Freddy’s face. Looking at the man who murdered his wife made him so angry, but losing control here would only cost his life. Dying without taking Freddy’s life isn’t dying, he w
“Don’t be in a rush, i just have a hunch, and I’m not going to tell you who’s in my mind till I confirm that he’s really the one. It’s just a hunch after all,” Freddy discarded Simon’s question, walking back to his swirl chair. He jumped on it and adjusted his blazers before he relaxed his back on it, waiting for Simon’s reaction. “I don’t care if it’s a hunch or not, if you want your money, you’ve to keep me alive. The police may not be enough, so do what you must and get those cats off my territory,” Simon finalized and dashed out of Freddy’s office. There was nothing more to observe, he was done here. The more he stood there, starting at Freddy’s face, the more chances for him to lose himself and pounce on Freddy. It ain’t easy, looking the man who ordered the killing of your wife in the eye. Getting revenge for Joanne was the only way to make himself stop thinking, and he was going to do it. Now, it wasn’t primarily about revenge, he had no intentions of paying Freddy back and
“How did he get down here.” Hatake voice was furious, it was certain that he’d be frowning behind the mask that moment. “He kept insisting that Fred knew him and he was the son of Ryan Fisher, the second notorious mafia in all of Ohio and was forcing his way through,” the guard responded. Freddy wanted to speak when the door creaked open, and Gonzalez walked in. “I did forced my way in, because my dad was kidnapped because of you.” He said walking inside the large room uninvited. Hatake was about making a move, but Freddy waved him off, trying to sit up on the large bed. “Go on Hatake, I’ll deal with this,” Freddy said, his gaze focused on Gonzalez who wasn’t smiling. Hatake stared at Gonzalez for a few seconds, then his gaze shifted to Freddy and then to the guard that was standing close to the door. He then started walking out of the room, hastily. Gonzalez watched him from the side of his eyes, as Hatake passed by him, he wondered just how good he’d be in actual combat. Fredd
“First, you’ve to tell me what really happened, Nick and I guess we’d have to fill Angelina in too, she’s looking so confused,” Simon said, glancing at Angelina. She nodded positively at him, still confused. Nick sighed, he placed his hands on his face for a few seconds, then he went over to Simon and started losing the rope they had used in bounding him to the chair. Simon felt the pain on his wrist ease out a little, he couldn’t be more happy that Nick agreed to his plan without making a fuss. This plan would help him solve all the problems in his life, with a price of him going to prison. He’d make sure he opened up to Diana before he was thrown in there. “I was almost there when it happened, but I was late. When I got there, Diana had already been carried inside the vehicle. Julia was with her, it seemed she was pushed or something. She was bleeding at the back of her head, when I got to her and they were already gone,” Nick narrated, as he finished losing the rope. “ I’m rea
“What the hell are you doing here Angelina?” Nick bellowed, scanning her from head to toe. Why was it the moment when Simon was ready to spill everything that she came rushing in, now he might decide to change his mind. He was almost there, and Angelina just blowed everything up. Maybe he didn’t really need a partner. Nick thought, frowning. Simon sighed, glancing at Angelina, she shouldn’t be here with the way she was looking. “I’m a detective too Nick, I’ve informants; one of them just told me that Ryan Fisher and one of his workers, a woman named Diana Flames has been kidnapped by unknown people. They only saw Diana being kidnapped, Fisher didn’t show up at work but his car was later found, his guards were dead but his body wasn’t there, which explains that he had also been kidnapped. That same informant told me you arrested Nathe, and that’s why I’m here, he saved my life Nick. What are you doing?” Angelina narrated everything without taking a breath. Nick covered his face in
“Hello there, guess you’re awake. Don’t worry, we’re not gonna hurt you, if you cooperate with us.” The masked man accent could absolutely tell you he was Japanese and the sword he was holding also somewhat confirmed it. “Who are you people, and what have I done wrong?” Diana felt the sharp pain at her nape as she spoke, her head was aching one sidedly. “When he’s awake, he’s going to answer that himself, for now. We need to clean you up and have you prepared while we have the chance,” the masked man said, walking over to where Diana was and he started losing the rope tied around her hands. Diana was confused, who was this “he”, the man was talking about, her mind was filled with the pictures of Gonzalez, it could only be him. How did he get back to town without the police knowing, and tried to kidnap her twice, even after losing two of his men. “I don’t want to see your boss, please; if you let me escape, I’ll give you anything in return,” Diana struggled as the masked man loosed
Julia screamed loudly, when she saw what was done to Diana, fear surging through every fiber of her being, one of the masked men pushed her because of her screaming, she staggered and fell, hitting her head on the street light pole, losing consciousness instantly. Nick had driven past the Simpsons club when he heard Julia’s scream, he increased his speed, driving to the direction of her scream, his headlights showed Julia collapsing beside the street light, while a car zoomed off. He quickly hit the brakes, and jumped out of the car pointing his gun at the vehicle that was already leaving his sight, he couldn’t even make out the plate number anymore. Nick brushed his hand through his black hair, walking hastily towards Julia, he squatted and raised her head on his lap, tapping her cheek lightly. “Julia, Julia,” Nick called, but there was no response, he felt her pulse, she was still alive. That was wen he realized the moist texture flowing at the back of her head. Blood! Nick’s
“Hey babe,”Nick frowned a little at sound of the word, she was moving too fast, he only had the sex to make her carry out this small mission, he hadn’t agreed to take her back fully. Even though he was more willing to take her back than he was before, but the thought that Diana was still out there and was being bodied by the mother fucking Simon was still eating him up. “What do you have for me?” He went straight to the point without replying to her pleasantries. “You could at least say hi,” Julia sounded a little concerned, Nick could imagine her furrowing her brow or rolling her eyes. “Okay hi, just give me the information already, there’s an emergency,” Nick replied, tapping his desk involuntarily. He heard Julia sigh on the other end and then the name came through. “Simon King, that’s it.” Julia said, her voice a little low than she was speaking previously. “Got it, gotta go now, bye.” Nick hung up the call before Julia could respond. He wasn’t ready for casual talks, not t
Freddy walked slowly down the ridge that led to the lakeside, the beach was quiet and entirely deserted, it was midnight, no one was expected to be there. He had six guards, armed to the teeth, three following behind him and three moving ahead of him. He was puffing out smokes from his marijuana as he walked; they came down the beach, only to hear a man’s yell from a far distance. Freddy immediately knew who it was, it was Ryan. “Over here Freddy!!” The guards started walking towards the direction of the yell on Freddy’s orders. As they got close, they could see him clearly. “He’s bounded sir,” one of the guards in front called out, raising his hand in a fist to halt their movement. He glanced backwards at Freddy, waiting for instructions. They were just few meters apart from each other, Freddy popped his head out to get a clear view of Ryan, he had been suspicious of this whole situation from the very start, he had wondered and thought why Ryan would call him out here just to t
Diana kept stealing glances at Julia, she had been smiling brightly all night, it seems something good has happened, but she wasn’t going to ask. They haven’t been talking to each other for quite awhile, and Diana didn’t want to be the one to approach Julia this time, the last time she tried, she was scolded. But, to her surprise; Julia did come to her herself this time, after the counter was a little free from customers, Julia came close to Diana where she was wiping spilled drinks from the counter. “Hey Diana, why aren’t you wearing an elegant smile today, did your little boyfriend offend you?” Julia started, her eyes glowing. They hadn’t spoken for some time and here she was acting like nothing ever happened between them, Diana stared at her surprisingly for some seconds before she replied. “I don’t have a boyfriend Julia, I should be asking you the opposite of that question. You seem to be in a good mood today, want to share the good news?” Diana responded, waiting anxiously f
Holding Julia very tightly, Nick released the whole thing inside of her, he then pushed to the couch panting, Julia was also panting heavily, they laid there, without uttering any words, just the sounds of their breath filling the room. Nick didn’t want to admit it, but there was no doubt that he had certainly missed this woman, the thoughts of giving her a second chance was clouding his mind, but he couldn’t quickly decide now, he might not be thinking straight. After he had finished up all of his cases, he would make his final decision, for now; all he needed to do was play the game. “I’m going to do it Nick,” Julia was the first to speak, she was staring at the ceiling as if it was what she was speaking to. “I’m going to get Simon’s other name,” she completed bringing her gaze down to Nick, whose eyes were fixed at her, with a small smile. There was no need for him to say anything more. ***Simon had been thinking about who would want to kidnap Diana, he couldn’t come up with
