“I don’t think so.”Firm, confident, but not that proud. Erika is torn from everything that is currently happening. Especially if the crime happens in their business that more than sure enough it will cause the reputation of their name which she is also currently taking with her marketing team to seize and control. Take the media out as much as possible while she is weighing the things that also involve the high authorities, the special force, and the authorities from their initial failed mission. But now seeing what happened to be a clue to their target. “He doesn’t know anything.”“But that wasn’t what we found out and dig. We just wanted his cooperation, and if you please will you talk to him.”With a deep breath two, Erika is hesitant to approach Sam with the current situation, his worries, and sensitive emotion right now. Worst, she didn’t want to burden him with the investigations and the operations that the high and few of the department authorities got a hand with about him a
DUMFOUNDED and speechless for a second and two. Erika is patching the facts fast from what she just heard and learn at that moment. Things that are happening within the Lawrence, the organization, and most especially about the state Governor. “Is that everything in it, right?” She asks, wanting to be assured and to be surprised anymore by the deeper trouble that she felt that she shouldn’t have dwelled in. Now more than ever that there are people more than who she knew that are involved. Worst, the possibility, no, the pieces of evidence that the state politician Governor Charles Gideon is involved with one of the dark organizations that might or not be the group that the high authorities are investigating right now, is putting her on the edge. Worst, the Governor is an ex-convict who escapes from prison and assumes the identity that he is currently using right now which ends with the fact that the real Charles Gideon is already dead. Scared for the consequences and how dangerous th
SURPRISED at the first few seconds, disappointed afterward, and now in between cursing and having some benefit of the doubt. Silence took place and a heavy atmosphere surrounds the VIP table of the hotel’s restaurant what is Sam is showing without hesitation. Looking down and thinking deeply about the worst and the possibility of facing the person that he doesn’t want to see.“Sam—”“Stop.”The immediate response and his tone that’s screaming that he is not taking lightly nor considering weighing things that they will about to talk about and especially the things that she wanted him to know.“Please, I know that nothing of any words will make anything better. Nor, I am here to ask for your forgiveness after all that happened in the past. But believe me, I am shame of what happened. I know that it is a hypocrite of me to defend myself, and ask for consideration for I didn’t do anything to stop my sister from committing that mistake.”“I am not interested to hear your story, nor looking
“WHERE DID YOU TAKE THE TWINS, FRANCIS?”Alarmed and more than that, Beatrice is on edge by what she just heard and was just informed about. Worst, what Francis did is the total opposite of what the organization wanted, especially after the warning that she just receives from Hiro. Putting them and herself in danger if she didn’t think of any escape route and fast to save herself. “Where? Why do you need to know about that superficial thing? I can handle everything, no, in fact, I already handle everything.”“Damn it! Are you out of your mind!”The rage and disappointment that she wasn’t able to control. Now that everything is going out of control, added to the facts and the current things that she needed to work and fast. More importantly, she shouldn’t be rubbing the patience and little generosity that Hiro gave her. That tiny fraction that Francis just ruined for not informing her before jumping into the plan is utter stupidity. “Why didn’t you inform me ahead of time? Why did yo
THE door opens without even knocking once, startled Erika for a second. But looking back and seeing Sam marching in a speed and immediately kneels, hugging Monique and tight. She knew that something happens.“I’m going to leave you two for a while alone.” She excuses herself, closing the door as she left and found Brian just standing not far from the room. “Can I ask you something?” her request that Brian didn’t hesitates to agree upon.All knowing of what Sam needed right now and especially in the midst of a huge problem that they are currently facing and still are unresolved for the moment.“What happened? I know it is a private and I do not have any right, but just tell me what to do to help.”“Very well.”Brian didn’t just agree nor give in, but he positively reply with the intention of not giving away the private life of Sam and what just happens. But he wanted one favor from the little inquiring request that Erika just asks of him about.“Everything is under controlled, right?”
SCREAMS AND CURSES are echoing and flying all over the place. Francis is out of control while Beatrice couldn’t get into him anymore. Worst, she is being rejected and pushed away by the dominance that Francis is asserting over the current situation that they are in. “Shut up! All you have to do right now is to shut up!”“Are you telling me what to do?”“The hell I am.”Francis once more breaks a glass by throwing it to the wall and right a few inches away from Beatrice. Startling her a bit, but wasn’t enough to make her cower in fear now scream. Instead, she put her brave front up, clench her hands tight, and gritted her teeth. “I couldn’t believe what I am hearing and seeing from you. You are consumed by your anger and becoming stupid for the things that are simple and aren’t even hard to win from.”“So, you are saying that I am being reckless right now?”“You are not just being reckless Francis you are putting our lives in jeopardy. Do you know how much this---"“The hell I care a
“THIS is what you need to do.”Instructions that Beatrice needs to follow. Things that she is hesitant at first to do since it might drag her name along with the danger that she just run away successfully from Francis. But with Hiro’s assurance and the things that Hiro just told her. The plan and the fact that the organization has Cath, Lindsey, and Cole, the truth that the organization is the other party that is rubbing Francis's patience, and the little deal that Hiro on behalf of the organization strikes a deal with Cath. Is more than a heavy reason for her to believe. No, she had no choice but to believe. For in between the organization and Francis, added with the fact that Cath strikes a mutual deal with the organization. One thing is only left for her to choose from, and that is to follow the plan Hiro just told her about, and put everything of the blame on Francis.“I got it. I’ll prepare everything as soon as possible. I’ll call you when everything is ready.”“Thirty minutes.
GUN shots can be heard from a distance and back. The exchange and the loud crash with the blow of a bomb shake the ground for a few seconds. Holding on to a tree while tightly holding Lindsey’s hand with her right one, Cath held her ground looks back when Lindsey screams in surprise at what just happened. Starling Cole awake, that worried Cath even more than she is under a lot of stress right now. “Lindsey, are you alright?” “I am. I am just startled.” “Mom? Mommy?” “Cole.” They both immediately coax the child back to sleep. Lindsey covered Cole’s ears while hugging the little boy tight into her arms. “Mommy, aunt Lindsey, what is happening?” “Don’t worry Cole, that was just nothing, just go back to sleep.” Relieved that the little boy is still sleepy and that it didn’t give them the hard time to coaxing it back to sleep. Cath looks around and a few steps away from where she instructed Lindsey to stay covered and safe with Cole. “Tsk!” She couldn’t help but click her tongue
