Michael hid behind the fences of a house just down the street. He hadn't gone very far from the compound, he was just two houses down the street.The best place to hide from your enemies was in their territory because they never expected it.He kept watching as the SUVs zoomed past him. Men in black were buzzing around the compound with big guns in their hands like they were after a hardened criminal."Why the hell are they with guns?" Michael asked himself.He wasn't holding a weapon of any sort apart from the key he had used as a weapon to knock Stones out."My life just got fucked," Michael hissed as he bent down and clutched his knees.He was only lucky to hide in that house because the owners were not there. He also had no means of transportation out of there. Using his legs would be risky.He kept on checking over the fences if the coast was clear so he could take another risky run. He couldn't stay here forever. He would starve and run out of options besides, it was too dangero
The ride home was longer than expected. There was traffic on the road —something that was rare due to the good management of the road safety agencies. But today, things were different.It was about eight in the evening, and the escorts rode slowly together. The meeting with Ford had been a little uneventful, with only the exception of some useful information, but they were still at a dead end."Any idea why there is traffic?" Iryna asked."Police checkpoint in the area," Reynold said.Iryna looked at him. "How did you know that?""I can see the siren from here. Those are traditionally red and blue lights upfront, see." He pointed at the window and Iryna saw it too."Lucien, has a lot of crime been happening lately? I thought Costa Rica was one of the safest countries in Central America," Iryna teased."Yeah, that is what Google says. All lies," Lucien said."The crime rate might not be high, but it is there, I could even show you to a human trafficking den if you want," Lucien said."
Amanda sped past 150 miles per hour.Michael's insides were spinning as they were traveling at that speed. He couldn't see anything since he had dropped her helmet, everything was a blur in his eyes plus it had become darker. The route they were traveling on had few street lamps. Michael tightened his grip around Amanda's torso, the fear for his life flashing before him once again.She looked back at him and said something but Michael didn't even bother to listen.His heart was beating at a rate that shouldn't be possible for humans. Saying he was having a panic attack was an understatement. What he felt was somewhere between a heart attack and a panic attack with extra attacks on his life!They started slowing down and Michael had never been so grateful in his life but he still held on tight to her as she drove through the woods. He started seeing the environment more clearly and he understood that they were close to the mountains."Where are you taking me?" Michael asked.Amanda t
Amanda lay with her back down on the bed and looked at the ceiling. "Tyrese is my guardian. You know, he taught me everything I know, such a fool," she said with a playful roll of her eyes.Michael was getting uncomfortable with her telling him things. Like, he had just met her, shouldn't she be worried?At this point, he no longer wanted to screw her. All he wanted was to go somewhere safe where the FBI or the Mafia wouldn't find him."Look, I really appreciate your help in making my escape, but I got to go," Michael said as he stood up.Amanda looked at him. "You won't leave, I haven't played with you yet," she said with a cruel smile on her face.What? Michael screamed in his head before snapping at her."I am not your sex toy!" He yelled. He wore a massive scowl on his face and clenched his fist. "I just want to go home!" It sounded childish but he would rather be a child than a plaything.Amanda looked at him for a while and she burst out laughing. "Gosh, you look so cute!" She
Michael sat down at the extreme corner of the sofa. He had been left alone in the large living room as soon as Tyrese had finished talking to him. Even his supposed "master," had left him there with a phone which she had given, telling him to answer it whenever she called."If you are a second late, I will eat you." Michael could hear her words resonate against his cranium. He shuddered at the thought of it. She meant, eat him, as in killing him. Right? Or did she mean something else?It occurred to Michael what the title plaything meant to him and what Amanda could do. He immediately sat forward and shook his head violently from side to side as if something was trying to get into his ears.What if she wanted to bite off his balls?Michael grabbed the phone which he had been given and looked at it. It was likely that the phone was being monitored, with every incoming phone call and message. Whatever he had to do, he had to do it fast. He looked at the ceilings and noticed that for
Michael got into the truck and he looked out of the window. He saw Amanda get in beside him and she strapped herself heavily in her seat. He couldn't help but ask her."Why are you getting strapped in like that? A belt would do," he said. In fact, why were there more than three belts in the driver's seat? Why wasn't it a regular belt?"I will advise you to wear your seatbelt," Amanda said, ignoring his question.She turned on the car and waited for the automatic garage door and revved the engine so loudly that it made Michael uncomfortable."Okay, what the fuck are you doing?" Michael hurriedly grasped the seat belt."Oh?! It is down," Amanda said. She floored the pedal and the car violently lurched forward like a rocket."HOLY GHOST!" Michael screamed as the vehicle flew out of the garage.I was like a normal sport truck that was fitted to go across all terrains but it was anything but normal.The truck flew several meters in the air before landing hard on the floor. It continued sp
Michael fished in his pocket for a gun but his hand returned empty.He slapped a hand to his face and groaned. He never even had a gun with him since his FBI encounter."Look man, let us keep things easy between us, we were just leaving the bar," Michael tried to smoothen things over.Pedro glared at him. "Who the fuck is the American? He better keep his mouth shut or his lips will be the only thing the American embassy will recover from his dead body!" Pedro pointed the chair he held in his hands aggressively at Michael.Michael made the zip gesture with his fingers and lips. Amanda gave her full attention to them, but she wasn't smiling like before."If you talk like that to my toy, you will regret it," she threatened.Pedro and the men looked at themselves and smiled. "Seems like you brought your weakness here. Don't worry, we will drop his dead body in front of the American embassy instead of feeding him to the dogs," he laughed.Amanda bowed her head. "I swear to God, your grandm
Iryna rolled and put her hands to her side. It was empty, Reynold wasn't there. Iryna frowned and opened her eyes, voices were coming from the living room in the hotel suite and she looked at the alarm clock at the table. It was still four in the morning and it was as dark as Batman's favorite suit. Iryna wrapped herself in her night robe and walked slowly to the door. The lights were on and she could see numerous shadows on the floor."We will take it from here.""What about the streets?""I have friends, they will support me. Some men will join us later this afternoon."Iryna pushed open the door and she met a frenzy of men in the living room. Reynold held a mug of coffee in his hands and he looked up at Iryna when she walked in."You are awake," Reynold said. "Grab a mug, this coffee tastes good hot."Iryna blinked and rubbed her eyes. It took some time for her eyes to get accustomed to the brightness. "What is happening? Why is everyone gathered so early?" She asked as she sat b
The court had been swift in declaring Marcus and Michael's verdict.Michael had hired a hot-shot criminal lawyer that lied like fuck during the entire hearing. The man was so good that he had almost even convinced everyone at the hearing that his client Michael was innocent, but the evidence was just too much against him.Marcus had been sentenced to ten years in prison with light labor in a penitentiary in California.Michael was sentenced to twenty-one years in prison, with hard labor and no parole. His modeling career was over, his life was over as it stood."Mark my words, you will pay for this!" Michael had said to Iryna when he was being thrown in a van."It should get old by now, shouldn't it?" Lucien waved him away at the court.Amanda Walters was still being held by the FBI, and it looked like it would remain like that for a while.The FBI wanted to fish out all information about the Mafia network in Latin America.Tyrese's charred body was later recovered.It was discovered
The sound of helicopters got closer and panic started spreading among the gangs and Mafia lords that surrounded the empty cars."The FBI!" Someone screamed.Government-issued SUVs pulled up and FBI SWAT teams were already over the place, holding their guns at them. They were completely surrounded.Michael gritted his teeth and dropped his phone. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" He screamed. "Why does this always happen to me!"The FBI team wasted no effort in apprehending all the Mafia and gang members.The mission was possible because of two things, one, the FBI had come in massive numbers and had surrounded their enemies. Two, because of their magnificent entree, the enemy was too overwhelmed to act that they had suddenly given up their will to fight."Drop your weapons and go down on your knees, order of the bureau!" someone said on a loudspeaker."Fuck this!" Michael dragged Amanda and kicked Marcus out of his way. He ran forward to a nearby vehicle, but he was stopped by agents.Amanda tried
"Sir, the plane has landed," the intercom buzzed.Michael was seated inside a black limousine and sipped wine from his cup."Any sign of them?" He asked after he had put his glass down."Yes, they are stepping out of the plane," the intercom buzzed again."Jesus, New Orleans is so cold at this time of the year," Amanda shivered as she entered the car. "So this is the United States," Amanda looked out of the window at the high-rise buildings in the Central Business District."The target has landed, the plan is being kicked into motion," Michael said."Good, they will be heading to the mansion, and we will cut them off in that location you mentioned," Amanda held Michael's chest and began drawing circles."What are you doing?" Michael suddenly asked.Amanda came up and kissed Michael on the lips, short and fast."What was that for?" Michael asked as blushes developed on his cheek."That is just part one, I will give you the rest when we are done with them," Amanda whispered in his ears.
Iryna's eyes felt like lead when she woke up. She was in and out of sleep for the past eight hours. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. The bandages on her hands made them feel even sore.She looked out of the window and all she saw was water, from a bird's eye view. They were on their way to The United States... home."You were out for quite a long," a deep voice spoke.Iryna turned in the direction of the voice and saw Lucien sitting on a chair on the other side. IV lines were there and he wore a blanket over his legs. He looked better now, and his wounds had been tended to."Gosh," Iryna rubbed her eyes and yawned. "How are you doing, Lucien?" Iryna asked. She stretched and heard a few bones bop in her shoulders."Never been better," Lucien laughed. "The doctor said it was a miracle I was alive. My liver has been grazed, plus a lot of other internal blood vessels," he said with a smile. "Seems like I will be out for months," Lucien chuckled."Just rest up," Iryna told him. She looked o
Michael was getting irritated where he was. All of a sudden, the cops were showing up in large numbers, and Amanda was nowhere to be found."Alright boys, let's round this up!" Michael spoke out.The men all stopped and looked at him."I know, I am not your boss, but I can't seem to find Amanda anywhere and the police are coming, so we will have to ditch this place and run," Michael explained.He expected Amanda to do just fine, besides she was crazy enough to save him from the FBI that day. She would save herself."Where is Amanda?" One of the men asked. "We can't leave without her," he looked around. There was a murmuring passing among the group."For Christ's sake! It is almost morning, we have to go," Michael pointed at the sky.The sun was just On the horizon, it was just seconds away from sunrise. There was no time to wait around anymore."Michael!" Amanda suddenly appeared from behind a vehicle and she limped heavily.Her Kawasaki bike was oddly naked and there were a few crazy
Amanda stood up and stepped forward. Her left leg side roared with pain from her contact with the ground after that stunt with the van. There was a bruise on her forehead, but nothing she couldn't handle.Amanda picked up a bat that lay on the floor and smiled. She walked in the direction of the van.Iryna was the first to open her eyes. She let out a cough. Her legs hurt, but she could still feel and move them.She looked around and saw that the door at the back was missing. She felt fear develop in her and turned towards Lucien. He was still breathing, but he was knocked unconscious after the van turned over. Reynold was also unconscious, but his breathing was becoming raspy.Iryna looked at the front, and she saw Selena dangling from her seat belt upside down, the wound on her head looked very bad, and she could already tell that the driver was in an even worse state.Iryna tapped Selena's face. "Selena, Selena, wake up," there was a response, the twitching of facial muscles and so
"Shit, hold him tight!" Selena cussed as they lifted Reynold across the burning parking lot.Iryna held his legs, while Selena held his hands. He turned out to be too heavy for one person to carry."Huh," Reynold groaned. They had managed to stop the bleeding, it was a miracle he was still alive after all that blood loss."Hang in there, we will soon get you a doctor," Iryna said despite the pain in her leg, as they carried him to a waiting vehicle. A nab was waiting outside and when he saw them, he brought out a stretcher and ran to them."He needs medical treatment," Iryna said to the man."Christ! Señorita Selena! What took you so long?" The man asked. He had a very thick accent."Long story, just focus on getting us out of here," Selena said to the man.Iryna opened the door to the bus and saw Lucien sleeping on a bed. There were vials and IV lines that were still attached to him."Hey madam," Lucien's voice cracked."Lucien!" Iryna hugged him. "God, you are alright.""Last time y
Selena would never forget Iryna's scream. It rang through the night and was momentarily louder than the sound of bullets moving around them.Iryna herself could not even hear her own screams. They were silent in her skull. She couldn't even hear the sounds of gunshots. She didn't care about the bullets that ricochetted against the cars.As she watched as Reynold slowly fell to the floor, she wanted to die too."Shit!" Selena cussed as she grabbed Iryna and ran to take cover.Kynes fired several shots at them, but they had safely gone behind vehicles."What are you doing?" Iryna was hysterical. "What about Reynold? We can't leave him there!" She kicked against Selena and thrashed about.She refused to accept that Reynold was dead. He was lying on his back, a pool of blood was already forming there."What are you doing? There is nothing we could have done! There is nothing I can do to bring him back!" Selena screamed.She looked over the trunk of the car and several shots rang. She duck
Reynold rested on the bench and ran his hand gently on Iryna's shoulder. It was the first time he was finding comfort in detention. Even in their situation, Iryna still looked very appealing.Reynold tried not to wake her up as he caressed her gently. Very soon, Selena would come up with a crazy escape plan.He was worried about Iryna, he didn't want any bullets touching her, and how they would move Lucien who had just come out of surgery —everything was hard.Reynold bent down and kissed Iryna's head. She smelled of mint, she must have used the twenty-four hour mist. It had been two days since they had gotten a proper shower. But Iryna still smelled nice.He heard footsteps at the door and Reynold clenched his jaw muscles. He sure hoped as hell that it wasn't Kynes. He always spoiled the mood.There were two heavy thuds. Reynold cocked his brows and watched the door.The door flew open and Selena walked in. She looked around the room and pressed the switch. Reynold flinched from the
