Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 107
As the first lights of sunrise dawned on Townsville, the group of people who sent the main team to Paris were seated together at SB cafe. Steph, Owen, Monica, Raymond and Pam made a breakfast platter and had breakfast with Dave, Lois, Keith, Amanda and Esther. "They should be landing in Paris in about two hours. Fingers crossed, all goes well." Dave commented and everyone nodded in agreement. "So, with Derek and Charles away in Paris, does that mean that Amanda and Esther will take charge of everyone here in Townsville?" asked Owen. "Oh yeah, that's right. We should have thought about that." said Monica. "Amanda, Esther, I personally have no problem with you both taking charge. I think that you taking charge would be appropriate, considering you have spent time with Derek and Charles." said Raymond. "Thank you, Mr. Raymond. With that said, we are a team. Ms. Amanda and I welcome any suggestions and assistance you can provide." replied Esther. She then turned her attention to Amand

The infiltration team were less than thirty minutes away from meeting Bowen, Alex and Henry at the safehouse prepared by Peter Quinton. The situation on their end was less than optimal, with an enemy humvee disguising itself as part of the fleet."Guys, we need to root out the imposter humvee before we reach the safehouse. We can ill afford to let Pamela know about the location of our safehouse." said Charles over their communications. "I have an idea. Ivy, which humvee are you at?" asked Victoria. "The last one, Vicky. I can see all the humvees in front of me." replied Ivy."Perfect. Ivy, activate one of your drones; but make sure your drone stays hovering above your humvee. After that, everyone activate the homing signal on your suits." said Victoria.Everyone carried out Victoria's request, hoping she had a plan in mind. Upon activating their homing signal, back in the Phoenix Bunker, Madam Louise noticed seven signals in single file; but with a gap in between them."Victoria to M

After driving out of the dense forest and taking care of the enemy infiltratoin team, the remaining humvees resumed their journey to the safehouse. Unknown to them, one of the enemy infiltration team members placed a tracking bug on one of the humvees. After driving for twenty minutes, the team made a pit stop at one of the local petrol stations to refuel their humvees. Everyone exited their humvees to take a quick break. As Mason was exiting his humvee, he noticed the tracking bug at the passenger door of his humvee. "Hey brother. Check this out. What is this?" asked Mason as he removed the tracking bug from his humvee door. Charles walked over to Mason's humvee to investigate. "Hmmm, this is indeed unusual. Let's check with Ivy. She may know what this is." said Charles. "Just in time. She's out now. Ivy, can you take a look at this? I found it on the side of my door." asked Mason as Ivy was walking out of the station shop. Ivy walked towards Mason and Charles, took the device fro

As scheduled, a transport van soon pulled over at the entrance of the Phoenix Bunker. Esther, upon seeing Holly, Desmond and Jocelyn in the van, opened the door for the van to drive in. Without wanting to trouble Madam Louise, Desmond, Jocelyn and Holly followed Esther's instructions and acquired all the necessary equipment to move to Quinton Tower. As they were about to leave, Madam Louise went over to the garage to greet them, telling them she understood their intentions and held no grudges. Before leaving, Holly, Desmond and Jocelyn shook hands warmly with Madam Louise, after which they boarded their van with Esther and drove out of the Phoenix Bunker. After seeing the van leave the garage, Madam Louise turned her attention back to Nathan, Madison and Juri. "How's progress on the simulation, Nathan?" asked Madam Louise. "I'm making good progress, Madam Louise. I should be able to solve the problem within the next two hours." replied Nathan. "That's great news, Nathan. This will

"Ms. Amanda!! Get everyone out of here!! It's a bomb!!" Esther shouted. "What?!?" Amanda, Desmond, Jocelyn and Holly reacted in utter shock. "There's no time!! Get out of here!! I have to suit up and diffuse this somehow!!" ordered Esther. "You heard her! Desmond, Holly, track that delivery man! Ms. Amanda, let me help you out of the building." Jocelyn assisted a pregnant Amanda out of the entrance, while Desmond and Holly split up to pursue the bogus delivery man that placed the bomb at the reception table. "Esther to Madam Louise!! Come in, Madam Louise!!" exclaimed a desperate Esther. "I read you, Esther. What's wrong?" asked a concerned Madam Louise. "Madam Louise, there's a bomb at the reception table of Quinton Tower. I've done a scan just a minute ago. It's set to go off in a couple of hours. I may need Nathan's support on this one." replied Esther. "Understood Esther. Nathan is originally on his way with Keith and a squad of his to the abandoned shack that you and Amanda w
Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 112
At Townsville Hospital, in a VVIP wing, Lea Quinton's recovery process was steadily going well after the horrific, literal backstab she suffered at the hands of Roxanne, one of the Quinton Mansion maids, who turned out to be working undercover for Pamela. Sitting by her bedside was Peter Quinton. He had not headed back to the Quinton Mansion since admitting his wife Lea into the hospital. Instead, Hector had been giving him a change of clothes every night from the Quinton Mansion. It's been five years since husband and wife had some alone time with each other for more than a day. Although the circumstances leading to their alone time were less than desired, to say the least, they were grateful that they were still alive and well; especially with Lea's steady recovery. The only disturbance to their alone time was the occasional sirens of the ambulance heading to the entrance of the hospital. During their stay in the hospital, both Peter and Lea had a habit of looking out of the wind

"Oh... I think I'm starting to get light-headed from joy." said Lea happily, after just hearing the news from Esther that her daughter-in-law Amanda was pregnant. Peter just stood where he was with his jaw figuratively dropped to the floor. Understandably, he too was in a loss for words; but for happy reasons. "Honey... we're going to be grandparents!!" exclaimed Peter after snapping out of his shock. Like a little child, Peter then jumped up and down in joy, causing Desmond and Esther to laugh out loud. They understood the joy that was going through Peter and Lea. "Wait, wait, wait... Esther, does Derek know about Amanda's pregnancy?" asked Lea. "Sadly, no, Mrs. Quinton. Ms. Amanda wanted to tell Young Master Derek but he was already on the plane. I suppose she thought that Young Master Derek was going to stay in Townsville; that's why she didn't tell him about it." replied Esther. "Haha, that brat! If he knew about his wife being pregnant, he would not have left for Paris. Anyway

Charles took a minute to gather his thoughts before replying to everyone listening. "Grandma, go ahead execute the plan you had for Steph, Maddy, Juri, Yvonne and Joanne. Taking control of that underground control centre is key for us. Not only will we have control of the underground network they have established here in Townsville, we will also know where they have branched out to." "Mason, Ivy and Victoria are at the abandoned building right now setting up the trap, hopefully for Pamela. Chloe, you and I will have to fly over to help them finish up. Time is of the essence so more hands on deck will complete the task there." "Brother Derek, you, Jim and Ivy stay with the advance party and set up our equipment. The sooner we can get full surveillance here, the better." said Charles. "Charles, allow me to interject." said Peter. "I'm not sure what plans you have for the rest of us; but due recent circumstances while you and your team flew to Paris have resulted in me having to make

Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 3 - Quinton Consortium Worldwide
The cameras were flashing as journalists and reporters gathered at the eagerly anticipated launch of the new mall in Townsville, specifically located near the Townsville Hillside Condo. Standing in front of the main entrance, Desmond and Jocelyn faced the crowd. Desmond then took the mic to address the crowd, "After months of construction, through reported ups and downs, we are happy to announce, on behalf of the Quinton Consortium, the officially opening of Townsville Hillside Mall." said Desmond. He then took his side next to Jocelyn and proceeded to perform the cutting of the ribbon, signalling that the Townsville Hillside Mall was officially opened. Applause rang all around the front as Desmond and Jocelyn opened the front entrance doors, welcoming the crowd into the mall. In another corner of Townsville, Wayne and Kimberly were also dressed sharply; but for a different reason. Joining them were Roland and Elaine Russo, as all four of them stood in front of the main entrance t
Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 2 - The Don and his bride
"Brother Derek, are you sure about this?" asked Charles as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a tuxedo; but not any ordinary tuxedo. Derek had Charles wear his diamond encrusted tuxedo, the most expensive tuxedo he bought from Nick Lopez when he first found out he was a Quinton. "I'm sure about it, Charles. I know I bought it for me initially; but in all honesty, you wearing this tux means so much more." Derek reassured Charles. "Man, I'm nervous. Brother, how did you even go through your wedding with Ms. Amanda?" asked Charles exasperately. "Desmond told me to take a deep breath to calm my nerves. It could work for you, too." replied Derek. Charles decided to take Derek's advice and took two deep breaths. Surprisingly, he felt much calmer. Then he and Derek heard a knock on the door. In walked Mason, "Brother, are you ready?" asked Mason. "As ready as I'll ever be." replied Charles. All three of them then walked upstairs... to the top deck of Charles's superyach
Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 1 - Closure
The prison gate key entered the lock. With a click, the warden opened the cell gate, with mixed emotions. "Madam Louise... it's time." In her cell, Madam Louise looked around the jail cell she had been living in, serving her time for her past wrongs. She thought about the time she spent in the cell, forming a close friendship with the warden, being released early to help Team Quinton and the Phoenix Mafia, eventually being a key player in the fight against Pamela. It was a sad day to leave her family after the fight ended; but heading back to prison was necessary. Thanks to Lea Quinton, however, she did not have to stay in prison any longer. She received a pardon from the Mayor of Townsville; and now, she can leave the Townsville prison freely. She slowly stood up and walked towards the cell door, where she noticed her warden friend had a tear in his eye. Smiling slightly, she wiped the tear away from his eye. "No need to weep for me, young man. We will meet again, outside of t

With the mask worn on his face; and the briefcase full of cash repacked into a duffel bag found in the control room, Charles slung the bag over his shoulder, ready to move out of Pamela's HQ. Before heading out, Charles made sure to surround himself in a nanoshield sphere to avoid any sudden sneak attacks. After which, Charles used his upgraded suit to do a thorough scan, looking to devise an alternate way out of Pamela's HQ. 'Hmmm... it looks like I'm going to have to blast my way out of here. Time to check out what weapons are at my disposal.' Charles thought to himself. Scanning the system in his suit through his mask, Charles was surprised to find various forms of weaponry to pave his way out. "Well then, let's get started." Charles said to himself. However, as we was about to step out of Pamela's control room, an alarm sounded inside of the control room. Red emergency lights were flickering in the control room. Charles turned his direction to one of the screens in the control

"Gerard! Andrea! You certainly have some guts showing your faces here after you betrayed me!" Pamela sneered at the couple. "Lady Boss... wait! We did not betray you." Gerard defended himself. "That's right, Lady Boss! The hostages... they escaped!!" shouted Andrea. "WHAT?!?!?" Pamela shouted angrily. She then turned her attention to Charles, who was standing there, perplexed. "Charles!! You were at the dungeon earlier. You said you saw your team in their cells. Is that true?!?" Pamela asked authoritatively. "Absolutely, Lady Boss. I personally locked up the dungeon after making sure that loser Derek was in his cell." replied Charles. "He's lying, Lady Boss. Charles must still be working with his friends. Somehow, they managed to get their suits from the lab and escape from this place." Gerard said accusingly, pointing at Charles at the same time. "Hold on there, Gerard. Up until just now, when Lady Boss showed me her lab, I did not even know that existed." Charles defended hims
Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 138
"You tell me, Charles. How did you and that loser escape in the first place?" Pamela asked suspiciously. Charles was calm in his answer, "Well, I found a couple of metal pins in my cell and I used it to pick my cell lock." Charles began. "Once I got free, that's where I hatched my plan. I picked the lock of Derek's cell. I had to convince him that he and I were on the same team in taking you out. So, while the rest were in their cells, which, by the way, they still are, Derek and I made our way out of the dungeon." explained Charles. "Well, you certainly have some talent, unlike that loser. Still, Gerard and Andrea not reporting back is concerning for me." replied Pamela. As she looked at the monitors of the control room, she noticed something peculiar, then she started frowning. "What's wrong, Lady Boss?" asked Charles. "Take a look at that." said Pamela, pointing Charles's attention to one of the monitors surveying the lab. "What about it, Lady Boss?" asked Charles curiously. "C

Before Charles could answer, they heard footsteps approaching the dungeon. Derek passed Gerard's dungeon keys to Charles before he cloaked himself again. In order to play along with Pamela's ploy, Charles quickly opened the dungeon door, placed Victoria gently inside before locking the door again. The footsteps grew audibly closer towards the dungeon door. Charles turned his attention towards the sound of those footsteps and walked in that direction, taking caution to who he might run into. As he turned around the corner, he found out who those footsteps belong to. "Oh my gosh, Esther. What are you doing here?" Charles exclaimed softly as he embraced his girlfriend. "Wait, you shouldn't be here. Didn't Mr. Quinton give you and the rest the order to head to the safehouse?" asked Charles. "I had to come here. I was not going to let that b***h Pamela take you." replied Esther emotionally. Just then, Derek decloaked himself and met up with Charles and Esther. "Esther, so it was you. G

"Ok, Charles, the feed is on." said Pamela. "Take your position, on Derek's right side." "Understood, Lady Boss." replied Charles. Seconds later, everyone, including the people in the Phoenix Bunker, the safehouse and the combined invasion and rescue team saw the live feed on their screens. "Your eyes do not deceive you, Peter. Charles has betrayed you. He has decided to join a real mafia and I will nurture him properly, so he can be a real Don." began Pamela. "As you can see, I have your son as hostage. If you ever want to see Derek again, in one piece and alive, firstly, call off your attack dogs. Secondly, you will, and I mean WILL, surrender your precious Quinton Consortium to me. Oh, before I forget, that includes your so-called Phoenix Mafia as well." "And just in case you think I'm not being serious... " Pamela then did something no one expected. She pressed a button on her control panel; and in the next moment, Ivy's suit emerged from a corner of her control room. 'What th
