Reynold put his hands into his pockets as he walked over to the attendant. He asked about the medical cabinet, and he was pointed to it. Reynold got all the painkillers he could carry and other medicine. He also carried food and a change of clothes for them. After he purchased the items, he got out and headed back to Iryna."What took you so long?" Iryna asked as soon as she saw him approaching."I was also getting food." Reynold raised his hands and glanced down at Lucien. "Come, I saw a shed up ahead," Reynold said. "Let's get him treated there," he suggested.Quickly, they made their way to the shed. It was a small wooden shack that looked like it hadn't been used in years. Reynold dropped Lucien gently on the ground and he heard him grunt."Oh, you are awake?" Reynold asked.Lucien opened his eyes and winced. He touched his side and tears streamed down his eyes. "Stop that! You will only hurt yourself!" Iryna hit his hands and collected the items that Reynold had purchased. She
Reynold supported most of Lucien's load as they weaved through the many abandoned buildings. The area was a slum settlement, and there were a lot of people out. It was a hassle getting past people, but at the same time, it worked to their advantage."Are they behind us?" Reynold asked Iryna who was walking fast in front. She turned back and narrowed her eyes."So far so good, nothing," she responded."Look, you guys should just drop me, I am holding you back," Lucien said. He depended heavily on Reynold as they walked."Like hell, we would!" Iryna groaned and walked up front. "At this rate, we will have to hide somewhere," she said. The sun was high and hot on her skin."It is so damn hot!" Reynold winced as he squinted his eyes. The atmosphere here was totally different from New Orleans."Hey," Iryna pointed at a shaded corner between two large buildings. It was protected from the street view. "let's rest there for the time being. We have been at it for two hours non stop, I will be
Iryna closed her eyes as she heard Lucien scream, she put her hands to her head. The gunshots just wouldn't stop, it went on like a train roaring into a mountain tunnel. It was endless. In all of this, Iryna felt the urge to scream. All she ever wanted to do since the gunshots started was to scream. She took in air and let it all out in one go.Suddenly, it was as if Iryna's screams had drowned out the sounds of the other guns. It was as if she had been transported to another dimension. It was as if she had been dreaming.But no, she could still feel debris falling on her, debris from the carnage that was happening.Reynold shook Iryna out of her head and she opened her eyes. She looked around and saw that there was too much dust to see it was only Reynold's eyes she had recognized as he brought his hands out to him. The dust was starting to settle a little as the gunshots seized. She looked down at Reynold's bloodied hand and he saw that he was dragging Lucien.Iryna was shaking out
Michael winced and screamed in agony as they poured alcohol on his wound and then they began sewing it."Easy there!" Michael struggled to pull out his hand but Amanda was stronger."Pussy!" She insulted him.Michael wanted to insult her, but he held back his tongue. It was still too early for them to fight."Tyrese never told me we were going to have a shooting fest?"Amanda looked up at him and patted his hands, meaning she was done. "Things just happen in life without it being planned," she said. "I hope we catch that slut soon. I want to make her suffer for all the riches she spent. My money!" Amanda hit her chest.Michael cocked his head to one side. "If you wanted to make her suffer, you wouldn't have issued a dead or alive order," Michael said.Amanda looked perplexed. "I did?" She asked.Michael slapped his head and went to the long sofa. "I need to catch some sleep," he said.Amanda brought out her phone and dialed a number. "Change of plans, I want her brought in alive, kill
It was gray.The room smelled metallic. There were no windows, only a single door and it was five by five meters in size.Iryna's butt hurt from sitting for long hours on the bench. She held her hands together and prayed silently. She hoped Lucien would be fine.The flickering light bulb didn't help much in illuminating the room. Instead, it gave it a kind of haunted feel. Something Iryna didn't need at the moment.Reynold had been called at one time for questioning, but he wasn't back yet. It must have been at least two hours since he went.Kynes had taken his time to transport them to one of their facilities in Costa Rica where Tyrese's gangs didn't have power. He had even taken Lucien to receive special medical care in their high-tech facility. She feared what he wanted to know in return, FEDs only did this when they wanted to acquire information from people.The door opened and light rushed into the room. Reynold came back inside and he joined Iryna at the bench. The door was stil
Iryna's throat felt dry.It really was Selena, the one that had been her best friend since childhood. Selena walked past Iryna with a laptop in her hand. She didn't meet Iryna's eyes once as she passed her."All the documents are ready," Selena said.Iryna gasped and put her hands to her mouth. It gave concern to Reynold and it was obvious to him that they knew each other."Who is she?" Reynold asked. "Is she someone close?"Iryna put down her hands and glared at Selena. "She is my best friend," Iryna replied.Selena turned to Iryna and wore her attractive smile that swooned many men. "Don't you mean was?"Kynes started laughing. He stood behind Selena and put his hands around her waist."Agent Selena here is one of Quantico's most promising talents," he kissed her cheeks. "And a very beautiful woman," he laid his lips on her neck.Iryna's mouth hung open. She closed it back with her hands."What the hell is going on?" Iryna looked at Kynes and Selena. "What the fuck is happening? Whe
"What the hell was that about?" Reynold demanded.Iryna looked at him with pain in her eyes. "Huh?" She replied."Didn't you see that? She looked remorseful," Reynold reduced his voice to a whisper and looked around.Iryna put her face in her hands and remained like that for a while. "I don't know what you are talking about," Iryna said."I have been betrayed again, by my best friend," Iryna said.She looked at her hands as if expecting to see blood on them. "Was marrying Fred a mistake?" She murmured.Reynold put his hands around her and consoled her. It made him sad when Iryna talked like this. "Shush, close your eyes for a while, it will be over soon," Reynold said.Iryna sobbed in Reynold's hands for a while and fell asleep.Not long after, the door rattled, and Iryna was forced out of her sleep. She opened her eyes slowly, groaning that she had to wake up so quickly.Although it felt good while it lasted. Her headache was gone, and she was starting to feel more like herself.One
Kynes crossed his legs in his office and chewed viciously on a gum. He held a poster of an agency providing five-star accommodation for a trip to Bali. It was a nice poster and it showed the beauty of Bali in one picture.Beach, beach trees, and flowers.But it was one heck of a price. One that had several Zeros behind it, even more than his six-month salary. But it would be possible when he collects his money from the Walters.He looked at the surveillance feed that was on his desktop. There was none of Iryna and Reynold. He had personally removed all surveillance cameras in that room so that the footage wouldn't be there in case of a leakage or tracking by other agents that weren't in his pockets. So that when they did their stupid review on him, they would find nothing.Kynes disposed of the spent gum from his mouth and straightened up when he heard footsteps at the door. It opened and Selena walked in folding her hands."You haven't asked them to wire the money to you, and you are
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
