Arnold swatted the beads of sweat on his forehead, he heaved heavily while staring blankly.“I will get the jeep,” his subordinate said and jogged off, Mora lowered her head and simply spoke softly, “Sir, I have to rush down-home.”Arnold due to exhaustion simply agreed “alright, go ahead” he responded without rationalizing his response, Mora scurried away.When the jeep arrived a bottle of water was given to him, he rejuvenated and sprung to his feet “let's go” he ordered.His subordinate looked around, and saw the lady with their boss has left “Boss, she left already” he reminded Arnold, and his eyes widened.In regret, he lamented, “why did you let her go? And how are we going to see her again, useless!” he scolded his two subordinates haughtily.His subordinates pursed their lips tightly and wore an ambiguous look on their faces, they felt wronged “Sir, it isn't our fault, you are the one who permitted her to go” one of them reminded him, and Arnold's face sank.He couldn't blame
She finished putting the clothes on the line and walked inside the house “Mom, I will be going to town, I don't know when I will return” she said loudly, Mama Sarah was in her room, while Mora is at the house frontage.Mama Sarah echoed, “be home early, and don't stay out all night”Mora nodded attentively before she finally approached her friend “let's go” the two of them left the peasant settlement, and walked to the train station.Mora was popular among the men that work in the train station, especially those who weed the grasses on the railway lines "Uncle Shu” she called out to an elderly man, who was covered in sweats while weeding the grasses across the railway lines, he waved at Mora.One of the workers came over “May, when did you come back?” he asked, he has been pestering her to be his girlfriend, but May doesn't like him at all “none of your business” she retorted and dragged Mora out of his presence.They came to the ticket booth, the two of them purchase their tickets, t
The opposition party didn't miss the opportunity to amplify the news, all radio stations in the district were bribed to announce it regularly.Mama Sarah heard the news and couldn't help but sneer, a knock came at the door, and she lazily opened the door to see May, Mora's friend, standing right at the door, looking miserable.She had a bad premonition immediately “where is Mora?” she asked, her heart beating rapidly, May dropped to the floor and started wailing.Mama Sarah's face sank, she realized her daughter was the one kidnapped, she sat down and contemplated the issues, her gaze landed on the piece of paper on the table.She reached out to pick it, she stretched the rumpled paper, picking up her handset, she dialed the number, it rang once.And a baritone voice came from the other end, “Did you change your mind? I guess you won't die impoverished after all”.His statement made Mama Sarah look angrier “Mr. Stone, I want you to release my daughter, she has nothing to do with my de
Mayor Lycan shut the door behind him, and the three men exchanged greetings before he finally sat down.“Major Sun, I am sorry to drag you into this, I am a little helpless presently, that is why I quickly sent a message over,” he said calmly, the stern-looking man chimed in “Mayor Lycan, as a comrade I can't abandon the call, you have been a patriot to this country, if it were to be anybody, I wouldn't have bothered at all”Mayor Lycan exhaled and acknowledged him with a nod, he looked at the Police commissioner “well, I have already prepared the tactical team, to help with this mission” he commented.When the men were making plans to undertake such a mission, the butler of Agora's family, Bass, walked towards the room of Madam Vanessa, he knocked twice before a voice ushered him in.He closed the door from behind and looked at Madam Vanessa, who sat calmly on a chair “Ma, I have taken care of the last warehouse” he informed her.Madam Vanessa's lips curved up showing satisfaction “M
Madam Vanessa cringed inwardly, the two of them remained silent for some time before Madam Vanessa requested “can I see her room?”Mama Sarah nodded, and pointed towards a door, she stood on her feet and walked towards the door Mama Sarah pointed a finger at, and Madam Vanessa pushed the door open.And a frame on the wall came into view, three people in the picture, she froze while staring at it, her feet padded the floor, as she made her way towards the frame and took the frame from where it is hung on the wall.Her eyes teared up as she settled on Mora's properly dressed bed, her shaking fingers on the frame.The door creaked, and Mama Sarah emerged standing at the door “Vanessa” she called out to the grief-ridden woman, who looked towards her with bloodshot eyes.Mama Sarah handed over an envelope to her “I wanted to give this to you, years ago, but you have refused to ask of your friend” she said and turned around walking out of the room.Madam Vanessa looked blankly at the door
The campaign trail was moving smoothly, with two lorries, and many people marched in the streets of the peasant territory.Wearing T-shirts that display the face of the current Mayor, Lycan.Many people trooped out of their houses to witness this, fliers were distributed to carry out the message.A lady stood in one of the lorries with a megaphone “vote for Lycan Dan Agora, for a better tomorrow, do you want the education system of your children to flourish? Do you enjoy the light and water supplied to this settlement? Do you enjoy the availability of jobs? Vote for Mayor Lycan”. While these chants were going on, the people who came out, some of them aware of the party proceedings were disgusted, they frowned at the campaign trail, and some retreated inside their houses.The campaign didn't pull the expected crowd, people started returning to their houses, with disappointed looks on their faces.The man in charge of the campaign was a bit disoriented, he couldn't place his fingers on
Mayor Lycan entirely ignored the nosy printing press agents that tried to coerce him into goofing.He managed to get into the hospital, and his subordinate stayed back to chat with the journalists.“Well, my principal has already addressed you all, this is a hospital, and your behavior isn't suitable for the patients inside, can you pick a better location to interview him? Or better still, invite him to your firm”. The printing press agents saw that they were being unreasonable, and retreated accordingly, leaving the premises of the hospital.Mayor Lycan headed towards the secured ward where his campaign manager was admitted, he entered and saw his family gathered inside taking good care of him.The moment he set his eyes on Mayor Lycan, he tried to sit aright, groaning. “you don't have to do that” Mayor Lycan cautioned him, and his campaign manager reclined on the wall, with a solemn look, regretting his actions earlier.“Mayor, I am sorry, if I had listened to you, this won't have
Mayor Lycan with seven-armed security men followed gingerly behind him, they ducked in the darkness when they heard footfalls.The building that Mora was kept in has three floors, the first floor is the one she was held, hostage.The building has a back and main entrance, and a large room that served as a reception desk before it was vacated for the operation.“I heard footfalls,” a voice said from inside, “are you sure man? It might be one of us” another voice responded with disinterest.“Let me check it” Torchlight beamed towards the backdoor entrance, as he walked towards it, Mayor Lycan have already envisaged this.So, they all leapt through windows and got into the dark room that was devoid of their enemies, but the door was tightly locked.The man who suspected the movements beamed his torchlight in several directions before he retreated, “I told you no one is there” his partner taunted.But he had a bad premonition and started patrolling the place, Mayor Lycan realized they ha
