Engagement Under Pressure

Morris's Point of View."You have been awfully quiet since you got into the car." Maybe it was all the bumping. Or perhaps it was the pizza, but Carson hadn't said a word since we left the house.He turned and stared at me for a while, as if trying to decode what I had just said. "Huh?" He asked after a few seconds, proofing my point. Something was up with him."You have been quiet. Are you having second thoughts about this?" I knew I was having second thoughts of my own, there was no need denying it to myself. Maybe the fact that I was a little bit nervous that we were going on a mission as dangerous as this on our own would make me more agile. More quick and fast."No. No, I just... I think I overate that's all." He said. He was lying. I co

In the Line of Fire

Carson's Point of View."What are you doing here?" I couldn't recognize my own voice through the anger. I had specifically told her to stay away from me when it came to this aspect. I couldn't be fooling around like this when it came to this aspect or I would be dead. Dead! What part of that couldn't she get? My heart thudded with fury and a headache suddenly pinned in my head. She looked around for a while, her eyes wide."I... I was out looking at the stars and then I slept off. I woke up a couple of minutes ago but I kept on tapping. You guys wouldn't answer." She explained, her voice shaking. It didn't keep my anger at bay. I could tell that Morris was softening but me? I wasn't. She could have done better than tap and&nbs

Adelaide's Secret

Katy's Point of View.I hated this. I hated that Carson was going to sacrifice his vest for me but I was over here lying to him. He was ready to go there bare and all for me and I was going to send him to jail. I clutched the steering wheel as my heart burned. I couldn't stop the tears as they continued flowing. I was supposed to be searching the car for anything implicating and taking notes of this area just in case the court needed it for evidence, but the thought of doing it made me sick. I was about to pull up his phone and call Mrs Smith. I couldn't do this. I couldn't keep lying. I just couldn't. It would be easier if I just called things off now. It would be much easier for both of us. I searched for his phone and a paper fell off. I picked up th

Seconds to Live

Katy's Point of View.My heart thumped and I quickly placed the key into the keyhole, and turned it, making the engine come alive. It made my head hurt more. But I didn't want to know. I didn't want to let it grip me now. Carson was in danger. Carson was in danger! Annabel moved to the back seat immediately, making room for one person in the front seat.The both of them ran to the car, as fast as they could. The alarms were beeping. They had triggered the sensors, I realized. It was a matter of seconds before we'd be slain."Fast! Come on man, we're kind of running out of time here!" Annabel shouted from behind, turning my head into a boom box. Literally. She made no move to apologize for screaming into my ear

Fleeing Shadows

Katy's Point of View."Is everyone okay? Is anyone hurt?" I heard Carson's voice echo through the dizziness that surrounded me. My eyes hurt, but my head hurt more."I'm alright. I'm fine." Morris said. I couldn't quite see his face clearly through the haze."I'm not exactly great but I'm good," Annabel said. Of course, she was cool. She had the guts to smile in a car that was about to get blown to bits."Are you okay, Jo?" Morris asked again. It was Carson's arms that I felt around me. Then it dawned on me. We were in a moving vehicle. There were bumpings and tire screeching from the heaviness every few seconds. The truck had to be old. I was going to have to check the place out later. That is if I could stay. I doubted I coul

Gone Without a Trace

Morris's Point of View."Where is she?" Where is she? Where was who? I still struggled to keep my eyes shut. I didn't want to open them. I needed my rest. I needed all the rest I could get. My shoulder was still numb."Where is she?" I heard again. It took me a while to realize that it was Josie's voice. I immediately opened my eyes, standing up probably at the same time that Carson was."Where's who?" He threw the question back at her, making her look somewhat frustrated. Then it dawned on me. Annabel was not with us anymore. She was no longer there. Where was she?!"Annabel. Annabel is nowhere to be found. I don't know, I woke up this morning and I didn't see here. She had just been a few... I don't understand what's going on here

Shadows in the Open

Carson's Point of View."You mean you just grabbed the chip and you're still alive? Is that even possible? Unless he let you grab the fake one." Abel concluded, unbelief consuming him."You can't even do a duplicate of this thing. That could cost like a few million dollars. The limited version that is. I doubt that Verde would let them take that amount of money from his account to build that stuff."I said. I'd had only two meetings with him before and the both of them had been from a distance. The man was ruthless. Too ruthless if I did say so myself."Woah. Are you sure we can't just sell this thing and take the money? I mean it could make us real millionaires." Abel joked, as Morris entered the office.

The Unraveling Truth

Carson's Point of View."Alright now, what do you know?" I asked, startling Morris half to death. It had been too quiet after Abel hung up and Charmaine decided she had things to take care of. It was the perfect way for us to have this conversation without prying eyes and ears. Not that I couldn't talk about this in front of his siblings after all they were my cousins and I trusted them but at the same time, I didn't want things to get more dangerous than they ought to be.He shrugged and continued to stare at me blankly. "I have no idea what you're talking about, Carson.""You do. You know something. What is it?""What makes you think I know anything? The both of us have been&n

Unmasking the Truth

Katy's Point of View "What are you doing here?" I whispered. I wanted to scream, but luckily I whispered. What in Earth was she thinking? She couldn't be here.Mrs Smith chuckled and shook her head. "You know they could be watching you now, you're being sour to a neighbor who wants your help. How does that make sense?""You're breaking protocol." I whisper-screamed again. My heart was beating very hard. "You know that. Why couldn't you just send a message since you know where we were.""You're supposed to have checked in yesterday and the last three days, why didn't you, Katherine?""It's been really crazy around here. So crazy that I'm beginning to get all use to the ruckus. You might think me incompetent but I'm trying my best, Mrs Smith. I'm trying my best, I'm trying to do everything I can so that this mission would not be a complete disaster. And believe me when I say that there

Unspoken Truths

Jackson's Point Of View When Charmaine said she wanted to talk, I was scared. I didn't know what she wanted to talk about and that alone had me irritated. She was the only girl I ever loved. The only girl I was convinced I will ever love. Maybe deciding to stay with this job even after finding out that she was Carson's sister was a bad idea. Maybe I should have left."You look tensed up." She said from the door, startling me to death. She smiled when she saw that she had jumped me and walked further into the room. Her hands were safely tucked behind her. "You also look beautiful. Just staring at the sun. Definitely a picture to kill for. Reminds me of the old days." She said and her eyes flashed to her hands then up again."Oh... I don't even know what to say to that."She chuckled. "People usually say thank you to this kind of compliment."I smiled and shook my head in wonder. She w
