LEO POV

"Do you have any idea about where he disappeared to?" I asked.

"I think he disappeared around the deserted bush area. I'm so sorry, Mr. Leo. I would have spoken up but I was not sure about how you'd take it," Fred said.

"It's fine. You don't have to apologize. Tell us everything you know," Jude said, encouraging him to speak up.

"After I heard about your break-in into the mansion and how you were attacked, I felt I had to inform you. I haven't been myself since I witnessed the incident," he said then clasped his hands. They were shaky and sweaty, I could imagine how scared he was. One of my greatest fears was that his missing son might have been abducted for the MIR project since they were majorly focused on young men.

"You'll be fine. I'll ensure that Kay pays for everything but for his crimes," I said.

    LEO POVI looked away as I spoke because I was ashamed.“I knew that the Robbins mansion held those who were abducted so I visited and searched the place. I got a few clues but was attacked by Kay’s men. I bet he already knows that I know something,” I said.“Why would you do that? You didn’t even share a thing with me. What if something had happened to you?” she yelled.“I was trying to protect you. I knew you would react this way. I had to find out the truth,” I said.“What else did you find?” She asked “I found the location of the underground funnel where I guessed they were being kept. We also found the trash site where corpses of their victim were kept. I noticed that they kidnapped young men” I explained. Emily’s hands dropped and she stared into space. “My father was in it. He had been running the organization which I think they called the MIR project since around 1995,” I said.“1995?! Oh my goodness!” she exclaimed.“I’m sorry I got you worried. There was too much going on

    LEO POV“Oh my goodness! When did you arrive here?” I asked.“I’ve been here all along,” Emily replied.“Really? You look amazing. Where are you off to?” I asked.“Off to wherever you’re going off course,” she replied and I gawked at her.“Do you even know where I’m off to?” I asked.“I heard your entire conversation with Jude early this morning. I know that Kay’s man has been sighted and you’re bringing him in. I want to be there as well. I don’t want to be left out anymore. This is my fight too,” she answered. I moved my right hand through my hair then stared at her. She could be a pest sometimes. Her face wore and unwavering firm look, convincing her to stay back would lead to a war within the house.“If you escort me, you must not do anything. Just watch, alright?” I said and she nodded.“Let’s go,” I said and she followed behind me till we reached the car. We stepped into the back seat while the driver started the car. Then I had just an entourage, four men in a car who followed

I grabbed another sachet of the chemical on the table and inserted the injection into it. After filling the injection, I approached him.“Don’t come near me,” he yelled but his right thigh ws stiff.“Once this enters into your body, you’ll become paralyzed in another part as well. You’ll experience immense pain that you can’t endure because your body wont be able to take it,” I said then bent low and looked him in the eye.“What do you know about Max Jones,” I reiterated.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he yelled. “Fine!” I said then stuck the injection into his left thigh. He screamed and the leg was paralyzed immediately. He squeezed his face as the pain began to set in.“That’s just the start, man. Give it fifteen to twenty minutes and you’ll want to die but you won’t. I won’t let you die. You’ll suffer. The pain would become too unbear

My hands were in my pocket as I glared at her. She was extremely stubborn and almost killed a man. I didn't know she could be violent if she was provoked. "You're safe here," I said, aitting beside her. I took her hands in mine and caressed her lips. "You collapsed while you were yelling at that man. I rushed you to the hospital because you lose consciousness," I explained."What about that man?! I hope he rots in hell," she said."He didn't die. We had another antidote. Why did you do that, Emily? He could die and his blood would bw on your hand. I don't want you to hurt anyone because of your revenge," I said."It's easy for you to say. You share what he said that they did to my brother. I don't even know if he'll ever survive it. I'm going to kill him if the news would bring joy to me and Max" she said, forcing herself out of th

    LEO POVA few men guarded the house where we kept Agnes while we headed out to the address of the lockers provided in the form of patterns in the footer. We arrived at one of the largest malls in the city. "Screw that guy. He's such a con artist!" Jude exclaimed."Whatever it might be, we are digging that out today. Get on the move and do not alert anyone. You know that a CCTV camera would be watching. Stay vigilant," I said and signalled to the men who followed us. We splitted into different groups and went in separate ways to check the locker numbers. The lockers were placed in different strategic places without a sequential pattern so we had to look around the entire mall. We also moved so as not to alert the security men at the entrance of the mall. While we were moving on from a store, my eyes caught a simple dress that Emily would love. It bore a striking resemblance to one of the dresses she wore when we first met. I chuckled then went into the store to get it. "She'd be sur

The FBI would be ready to take him in once the special unit apprehends him as well," Jude said."Keep your eyes on the look out and make sure nothing gets redirected," I ordered."Roger that," he replied then I cut the call. As soon as I parked my bike, some men in black approached. They were all on guard after I broke into the house the other day. The one who appeared to be their leader faced me squarely with one hand on the tip of his gun."I suggest you leave, Mr. Leo. We have strict order from Mr. Kay to keep you out of the house," they said."Why is that?" I asked. They were quiet as they gawked at me. I laughed hysterically which got them confused. Then I pulled out a stun gun and struck the man in front of me. He fell unconscious instantly but I had declared war. The others attacked me without restraint. Then members of the elite team joined from nowhere and in a few minu

For goodness sake, are you even a Robbin?!" Kay roared."I'd rather just be Leo if being a Robbins meant sacrificing the life of innocent people for a worthless experiment to fill your bellies," I replied."You've crossed the line, Leo. For a second, I felt you would change your mind because we're stl brothers but I see that you've been brainwashed. That devilish woman did a thing on you," he said "Don't call her that! Don't you ever talk about her with your filthy mouth," I shouted."I see that you've made up your mind to drag us in the mud," he said."Us?! Who is us?

One of my men came running to me where I stood with Jude in the interrogations room."Mrs. Emily is here and wants to meet you," he said. "Did she know about it?"

"You'll be leaving a lot of memories," she said."I know but I've got bad memories here than the good ones. I'm done with this kind of life. I only want to make good memories now," I said and turned to her. "I want to make good memories with you," I added.She beamed then looked around the house."You won't visit anymore?"

    LEO POVI stood before Mr. Fred while he wept bitterly. No one could console him except his daughter who was also waiting for her brother. Just as I had guessed, he had been a victim of the MIR project and had recently died. "I am a bad father. How could I have worked for those who killed my son," he said, beating his chest repeatedly. "I am sorry," I said with my head facing the ground. I was ashamed to look him in the eyes. "Bring my child back! Bring him back!" he yelled dragging me by the collar. My men moved to separate him from me but I gestured to them to stop. I deserved that much for being a Robbins. After pacifying him, I left his house with Emily and my men. Emily had gotten emotional and she kept wiping her face as we drove to another part of the city to tender our apology. IN THE EVENINGWe arrived at the health center where those who were addicted were kept. I met Dane who rushed to my side the minute he saw me."Thank you, Mr. Leo. Thanks so much for bringing my s

After a few minutes, we arrived at the other entrance and parked at the garage. The office was disorganized when we stepped in. The employees hurried around the lobby when I appeared.

Not one person was missing from the table. I sat down and Emily sat beside me while Jude stood behind me. I felt I didn't need moral support but I was not as strong as I thought.
