EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWWe were scouting the environment when the gate to the building Tony pointed to rustled. Someone was trying to open it from inside. One side of the gate opened so we jumped to different hiding spots around then peeped to see what was about to happen. A young man dressed in an all black outfit looking like a private force member came out alone. He locked the gate then started walking towards us, the path that led to the main street. I wondered what he wanted to get that he came out alone considering the fact that the main street was as deserted as the most deserted desert in the world. He was on foot and that would definitely not get him to anywhere he could get anything. We stayed put in our hiding spot for him to pass by. I was contemplating what to do with him when he made a turn into another building. When he was gone, I jumped and went over to where Tony was quietly so my footsteps would not announce our presence. “Do they use all the buildings
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWThe man we captured reflexive bent his head to dodge the hit and honestly, I was a bit scared for him because I did not think he had recovered from the previous one. However, the chief security held his fist in the air. He slowly looked up when he felt nothing then saw that was just a scare punch. The chief security then put down his hand and opened the fist. “You see, it would be in your best interest to answer everything I am asking you now before you get a new look for free by my hands.” The chief security threatened.I guessed he knew there was no way out of this one as they were all ready to turn him into a punching bag and pass him around so he gave up and started answering the chief security’s questions. Apparently, he was collecting rent fee from the homeless staying in every abandoned building in the area.He explained, “I do this on the side to fend some more money for myself so our boss knows nothing about it. I threatened to make living
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWEric has just announced our presence to the rest of the men in the building. We had to hide behind some shelves in the corridor. I could hear noises of the men coming towards the corridor in search for us as Eric described to them. They searched all over but did not think of checking behind thr shelves. We had to squeeze ourselves in between the little space between the wall and the shelves. I leaned flatly and sucked in my tummy. I had to steady my breathing so I did not make any sound at all. I could have come out of hiding but there were truly a lot of them just as Eric mentioned earlier so it would be a disaster move.“Where are they? Or are you playing us because you do not want to remit the money you went to collect to us?” One of them said doubting Eric as they saw no sign of us.“No, of course trust me. Here, see my mouth. They did this to me. They said they are here for the boy we brought in yesterday.” Eric said trying to convince them as
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI flew over literarily and “po-o-o!” was the sound I heard as I rolled over and fell flat on the other side. The rest helped me get up but the bullet had grazed my arm. Thankfully, it was a slight graze but I bled regardless. “You are bleeding!” Taylor screamed on seeing blood gushing out from my left arm.“It is nothing. I said as I unwrapped the scarf I had around my neck to complement my outfit then tied it around the wound to stop the bleeding. The chief security helped me with it and it was done in no time. The wound hurt like crazy but it was not something I could not handle until we got to the hospital. “Let us find our way back to where our cars were parked.” Smart said.Taylor tried getting up and walked on his own but could not.“What happened? You walked a while back in there?” Smart asked him as he found it hard to get his balance then groaned when he tried too hard. He gave up and sat back on the floor.“I think I must have broken my
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI turned the ignition on then turned the steering with my other hand.“Are you sure you can drive in this stare of yours or should I take over?” Tony asked on seeing my struggle trying to navigate through with my injured arm.“Oh, do not bother. It is nothing.” I said as I tried to get the right gear and control the steering at the same time but my left arm which suffered the gunshot injury felt too heavy to move. I had no choice but to switch seats with Tony and get in the front passenger’s seat.“You need medical attention immediately. We are heading to the hospital first before anything.” He said as he successfully made U-turn and headed back the way home. I rested my head on the seat rest then turned my neck to check Smart and Taylor seated at the back. Taylor looked lost. I felt pity for him that instance because he had no idea yet that his brother was dead.We got to the hospital in no time. We took Taylor in to get checked up and admitted in
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI stood up then looked at everyone, “It is sad that we all have to gather here today to discuss Thomas’ demise and his funeral. I still find it unbelievable myself. We might not have the beat of relationship but he was family still hence why I am not backing off in the quest for revenge on whoever did this.” They murmured but I continued, “Yes, I believe that Thomas did not die a natural death even though he had been in coma for a while now. This morning, my friend and the rest including myself had to go rescue Taylor. He was kidnapped last night at the sacred house after the full moon night procession.” They looked shocked.“Where is he? Where is my son?” Thomas’ mother flew up from her seat as he came over to me and shook me as if she could shake some response from me. Her husband disentangled her from me and it was a hassle. I never knew she still had such energy in her despite that she was looking ghost few moments ago.“He is completely fine. H
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI left the ward and walked to the garage with Tony. We ran into the chief security.“Hey, I already went to the conference room to check you but you were not in. I heard the Robinson’s had a little meeting in there.” He said.“Yes, I left the meeting not too long ago to check on Taylor.” I said.“Oh, how is he fairing now? Nothing too serious, right?” He asked showing concern.“Yes, I guess. They just broke the news of Thomas’ death to him. They were inseparable. I can not imagine how he feels right now, which is why I have to get to the bottom of this.” I said“I think the doctors are hiding something. I just checked the footage but something seems fishy.” He said suspiciously.“Fishy how do you mean?” I asked.“Some of the footages are missing. Early hours of dawn which is very close to the estimated hour of death announced for Thomas. You know I am invested in the Robinson’s family. I have been with Pa Robinson for over a decade and I feel more l
WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI stayed in my hiding spot until they had all left. When I was sure they were gone, I got out then went further down in the street. There were abandoned houses all scattered around but I had not gotten to the one that fitted Sniper’s description. I saw some crowd of women and children in front of one but they all ran inside on seeing me then shut the door. I felt they must have been traumatized with the fight that would have ensued between Edward’s men and Sniper’s men. I did not bother finding out what scared them but headed to the building to give Sniper a piece of my mind as I could not understand how he could allow them find out their hideout not to talk of rescuing the hostage. A car drove to the building as I got to the gate and knocked. I almost tried running off thinking it was some of Edward’s men who were back to finish off whatever it was they could not earlier. Only for Sniper to alight from the car. I removed my disguises and called o
