"I just hope it will not be too long" he muttered to himself.

What are you thinking about? Jane asked hoping he would not reply so she can check the back of his neck for the sign she always knew was there but he replied quickly enough
"It is nothing and I am fine don't worry about me" Kingsley replied
"Ok" she answered with a sigh of disappointment
But you are supposed eat or are you not hungry? Jane continued

"I am very okay thanks for your concern" Kingsley replied her

"He is all polite he can't be Kingsley" Jane thought to herself.

Kingsley looked at her again she was beautiful no doubt but he had to focus on his mission he couldn't be distracted.
At the end of work for the day he had already become popular for solving difficult problems that they had being finding difficult for sometime.
*********
Mr Joseph stood before his library facing the windows and thinking about the young and confident young man he met today

"He reminds me so much of peter" he muttered to himself

He couldn't believe his son was dead and his grandson missing, that is why he had to stay on until there was no other hope of seeing his grandson.

He couldn't give power to Stephen, he was desperate for it but he knew better than to challenge him for the seat since the company was family owned and need the approval of the chairman to take the position.

He should have waited for his grandson to be born before he disowned Peter, he regretted his decision every time he thought of it. Peter studying medicine was a pain to him but seeing he succeeded and his grandson was pursuing a career in ICT he knew he had messed up big time.

What are you thinking of sir? Stephen asked
He knew it was Stephen so without turning back he told him

"I am just thinking of Peter and how he would have helped our medical section grow'' he told Stephen

And besides his son would be twenty four now then he stopped "yes that boy in the office is his grandson he was sure of it now".

What is it boss ? Stephen asked

"It is nothing" he replied immediately.

What are you doing here? The chairman asked

"I came so you can see the bid for the Advanced technology car we finished producing" Stephen replied him

DEDICATED TO ALL MY GHOST READERS, THANKS FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT

For the distribution I guess? the chairman asked

"Yes Sir" Stephen replied

"I will attend to them in the office tomorrow I am busy right now"

"Ok sir" Stephen told the chairman before leaving the library.

********
"You have to match yur opponent's aggression and be prepared to fight not on their on terms but create your own terms" Kingsley could remember his coach telling his trainees

"I guess it is time to create my own playing ground and stop letting events decide for me" Kingsley muttered to himself in the comfort of his library.

He sighed has he picked up his phone

"Hello..."

**********
Stephen was in his study when his phone rang

"Hello"he said over the phone

"hello Mr Stephen" the caller replied him

Who is this? Mr Stephen asked

"Never mind who because you already know who you are speaking to" the caller replied his question

"I will be willing to work has a personal and secret weapon for you, I am very sure you will need me and I am going to deliver without any problems and I won't be discovered either" the caller continued

Really, then can you do what I will ask you to do now ? Mr Stephen asked him

"Yes but be very quick" the caller replied him

"Good then I want you to publish anything that will get Mr Raphael out of the company, anything I don't know about, he is an hindrance to me" Mr Stephen told the caller

"I thought he his your friend" the caller asked

"He his that is why I am not killing him" Stephen replied him

"Ok, send me his details" the caller told him

Stephen smiled this call came at the right time of course he knew the voice belonged to one of the most feared assassin around.
*****
Kingsley walked in dark spandex material to the house of Mr Michael one of the men involved in his father's death.

He had driven to a place where the CCTV will not get his plate number before walking to the house.

He ran at impossible speed to the night guard standing at the front of the gate, the night guard was trying to make out the dark shadow moving close to him but the moment he tried to reach for his gun, a strong hand grabbed him at his neck almost at choking point before giving him a blow that sent him to unconsciousness.

Kingsley knocked the gate the guard that opened the door was surprised there was no one outside.

Shrugging he turned to enter before he remembered he saw something run past with something, as he tried to look out again a single punch from Kingsley sent him into oblivion.

When Kingsley got into Michael's house the family were watching a movie in their sitting room.

"You have being enjoying with your family while you let me imagine about them without ever enjoying all these you are enjoying" Kingsley told the family the moment he stepped his foot in the sitting room

The family were shocked but before anyone could react he had already grabbed Micheal in a choke hold.

Who are you? Michael asked him

"I am your worst nightmare, deal with it" Kingsley replied him

Kingsley dropped him brought out his gun and shot all his family members and he watched as Michael stood there shocked

"They are not dead, just tranquilizers" Kingsley told him

"I need information or I will kill you myself" Kingsley told Michael as he stood there fidgeting

Which information? Michael asked

"I want you to give me information on the members that were involved in the death of Dr Peter" Kingsley told him

Dr Peter?

Who are you? Michael asked the strange man in mask

"I already gave my answer" Kingsley replied him

"I know about Raphael but I don't know of the other guys because we are not that close, we only did what we did because of what we stand to gain" Michael replied Kingsley

"Tell me what you have" Kingsley replied him

"I will don't kill me" Michael pleaded with Kingsley
*******
"Don't be too confident in your plan things might go south, hope for the best and prepare for the worst" Kingsley had that in mind as he drove himself home from Michael's house

"I have to prepare for the worst but I really need to plan before things go south and I am discovered" he muttered to himself

He already heard information on Micheal he just needed information on the order members
*******

Early the next morning two news were circulating all over the Internet, two important news about two executive directors in Giants technology.

Raphael was involved in a sex scandal with his secretary, while the financial secretary of the company was in involved in fraud

PS: I HAVE NOT TYPED THE NEXT EPISODE

Re: Out Of The Blues... by King2019(m): 7:18pm On Aug 28, 2020
How could you let this happen? The chairman asked his executives in an emergency meeting after the scandals were exposed

If you cannot keep your dirty secret safe, then how can you protect the company? He asked Raphael and Michael who were involved in the scandal

"You are no longer eligible for any position in this company and be sure I will press charges for the money you have being taking from the company"the chairman told the men

"The meeting is closed and I will personally appoint those who will take over their positions which means I don't want recommendations from any of you" he told the remaining executives before standing up and taking his leave with everyone bowing to him

******
Jane sat down in her bedroom office thinking aloud

"I think it is him, he must have escaped the way we did before they died" she muttered to herself

It only began to make sense to Jane a long time after her dad died together with Dr Peter

How would her father be busy at the time they usually go for vacation, besides it was usually the time workload was reduced in the hospital.

"Maybe he knew they were going to kill all of us or he did not want us to know what was going on" she told herself again

Or were they planning to kill only Dr Peter but his loyalty to his friend made him stay with him? She asked herself

If that is Kingsley then why is he here? She asked herself again

Dammit!!! None of her questions had answers.

What are you thinking? Mrs Felix asked her daughter

"Mom I think Kingsley is alive but I cannot prove it" Jane told her mother

"Mrs Felix opened her mouth in disbelieve how did you find that out?" She asked her daughter

"I am not sure but I will confirm tomorrow" Jane replied her mother

How? He mother asked again

"I will tell you when I find out what I am looking for" she replied her mother

*****
Mr Joseph looked through his French windows

"I just can't prove he his the one" he muttered to himself

He stood thinking for a long time before muttering to himself

"I will do it my own way"

The Next Day
Kingsley got to the elevator, pressed the open button. The door opened and he saw himself standing before Jane, the chairman and Stephen waiting for him to enter.

"Good morning sirs" he greeted the men before bowing slightly to Jane has he entered the elevator.

"Good morning" both men replied him

Jane and the chairman started looking at neck but were disappointed when they did not see the mark.

"I knew it is not him" the chairman sighed with disappointment
"I was almost sure it is him" Jane sighed too

"I guess the search for him will take me a longer time" she thought

The chairman sighed again, he was not supposed to use the elevator since he had his own elevator but knowing that Kingsley will use that particular elevator he decided to use it to get the information he needed saying he was disappointed was an understatement.

The elevator door opened and has he came out of the elevator, he started to go on a fast walk with Stephen when he stopped abruptly

Kingsley who was out already walked faster than the chairman with his hand raised toward his neck and as he tried to adjust his collar a glimpse of his mark showed.

Both he and Jane stopped at the same time, they both stared at Kingsley as he disappeared from view.

How on earth did he reappear? The chairman asked himself

Why is he here? Jane asked herself

The chairman and Jane looked at themselves

Questions and more questions yet no answers to any of them

Anything wrong sir? Stephen asked the chairman

The question brought him back to reality he turned to see the young woman still standing in shock.

The chairman knew she might have known him well enough to know the sign on their necks but he choose to pretend that nothing was going on.

"Nothing, I just remember something that I forgot at home" he replied Stephen

"Let us go" he told Stephen before walking to the elevator that will take him directly to his office floor

Has he sat in his office he could not think of anything else except what is grandson was doing in the company and the recent news about his directors.

It made him wonder if he was involved but the time it was posted he was at work in the company.

Jane watched Kingsley has he typed he did not appear to be tired in any way.

Kingsley was getting tired and it was almost break he needed to eat and plan how to get the information he needed from the other two criminals before he focuses on Stephen, he needed to break the man as much as possible before finishing him off.

"Hey Kingsley" he heard Jane's voice behind him

He turned to face Jane
"Let us go and eat together, I am sure you are hungry" she told him

At that moment Jane wondered if he knew that it was the same Jane eight years ago

"I am really hungry, let us go" he told Jane

*********
Stephen sat in his office thinking deeply, he picked up his phone and dialled the number he was given by Shadow the mysterious man who called him a two days ago.

"Hello" he spoke out the moment his call was answered

Before Shadow would reply he was already asking him questions

Did you do it? He asked him

Do what? Shadow asked him

"I mean expose Raphael and Michael" Stephen told the man

Shadow thought for some time before replying Stephen

"I think there is another player in this game probably someone who is close to you in the company" he told him

Any idea who? He asked Stephen

"Make your research and call me later for the answer I am going out now" he told Stephen before the latter could give him the answer he asked

Kingsley and Jane sat together in the in the office canteen, Jane watched Kingsley has he ate his quietly
"He had become a real gentleman" she thought
Were you always like this I mean gentle,calm? Jane asked him

"I am quite funny and I joke alot but it has been a long time since I last did that" Kingsley replied her

What made you stop? Jane asked him

"I just wanted to" he replied her while still bent over is food.

She watched him eat she knew it was because of the death of his parents, but she didn't want to push the issue any further

"Well you should start laughing again" she told him but he was already looking at a particular part of the canteen

She followed his eyes first thought it was the beautiful lady eating in the canteen until she saw three executives discussing in low tones.

She turned to see Kingsley still staring at them and frowning really deep at that moment she couldn't help but think they were involved in their fathers deaths.

Stephen was among the executives and he didn't go to the executives part of the canteen because he did not want their conversation overheard.

Who did this? He asked the other men

"You and I know I couldn't have pulled that kind of stunt when it can backfire" Samson one of them replied him

"As much as I like to be silent and pretend that nothing is wrong, but I told you to take care of his son so we will be sure we are safe but you were so confident Peter did not have a back up plan" Samuel replied the two men

"I am more than confident the boy is involved in this and I think he is closer than ever to us" Samuel continued

Both men stared at themselves their thoughts running wold, Samuel had no reason to panic je already had money and secret security for himself to protect him from any danger he was well prepared for any eventuality.

"I think we have to step up our game that way he will be revealed" Samuel told the two men

What do you mean? They asked him

Samuel looked at Stephen and Samson levelly
"Kill the Chairman" he replied their question

Kingsley watched as they discussed he was angry he had to plan for everything he had to do before he achieved anything
"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst" he could hear his coach in his mind

He looked at Samuel as he spoke in a low tone
"You are next"

Continuation

Jane sighed has she watched him stare at Samuel and his other colleagues, it made her wonder if they were involved in her father's death.

Hey Kingsley... She called to Kingsley
"You have a beautiful lady seating before you and you are looking elsewhere, pretending that she thought he was looking at the lady not far from Samuel's table" she told Kingsley

Kingsley turned to her and smiled mischievously
"Phew, I have a real jealous friend you know" he replied her

What? Jane fired at him

"I am not jealous of anyone and besides you are not my type, so stop making things up in your naughty mind" she continued without waiting for his reply

Kingsley smiled has she told him that he was not her type
"You are the one making things up here I never said anything about type or even if it was that lady I was looking and besides, you are not my type too so stop making things up in your naughty mind" Kingsley retorted still smiling

"Enough of the jokes already, it reminds me of what it use to be with my dad" he continued before picking up his spoon to eat his food

"You should leave behind the shadows of your dad's death and move on with your life Kingsley, my dad died quite the wrong type of death you know" Jane picked up her spoon to eat too

At that moment Kingsley looked up at her to see her expression from what she told him but has his eyes got to he hand and the way she picked up her spoon, a realisation hit him.

It was Jane, so many questions were already on his mind

How many people knew about him already and how manydid he know himself?

If it was Jane did she know he was the one?

Only one thing came to mind, she knew he was the one and she knew who he was looking at but was pretending
*******
"The mind is a very powerful weapon, with it, nuclear weapons were created, with it some come up with murderous intentions" Kingsley could hear his coach clearly in his head

Train yourself to tune your mind into your opponent's so you can get a glimpse of what will happen if you engage him
******
"I need to take care of Samuel fast, I can't afford to risk wasting time before I am discovered" he thought

This night he thought with determination he was going to go get information from Samuel and use it against his colleagues

"They will all pay"

*******
The chairman called Jane to his office, he stood before his window as Jane came into his office

"Good afternoon sir" Jane greeted him

"Good afternoon Jane" he replied her

"Have your seat" he told her before taking his seat

"Thank you sir"

"I don't have much to tell you I only wanted to confirm what I saw today, he told Jane staring levely at her

Kingsley is back and you know about it right? Je asked her

"I don't know what you are talking about sir" Jane stuttered her reply, the question took her by surprise

I wasn't expecting you to tell me yes or no what I want to know now is does he know those who were involved in his father's death? He asked Jane

"I think he knows sir" Jane told him

"Good I am going to watch from the sidelines for now" he told her
*******
Stephen sat in his home office thinking about what he heard from Samuel that day
"He his going to be a threat and I won't let that happen" he muttered to himself

"Hello shadow" Stephen called over the phone

"I want you to take care of Samuel" he told shadow without waiting for his reply before stopping the call
*******
Kingsley walked in the dark towards Samuel's house everywhere was too quiet and easy for him to actually believe he was going into a easy job.

"He his prepared for anything and I won't disappoint" he muttered to himself smiling mischievously in the dark.

He ran full speed to a part of the fence jumping and clinging on the top without any sound from him before jumping into the building

He walked quietly to the front of the house looked through the windows with his infrared glasses he smiled as he knocked the door.

The doorbell was answered immediately by Samuel himself exactly what he was expecting.

The moment Samuel opened the door he knew something was wrong because a strong hand immediately grabbed him by the throat before leading him to the back of the house.

It was not suffocating but strong enough for him to know not to try to break free or shout for help, well he was going to cooperate at least for now so he would not end up like his other two colleagues.

He opened the door through the back of the house before Kingsley lead him up to the visitor's bedroom it was surprising to him, he wondered if someone provided information about the house to him before he came for him.

He opened the door to the visitor's room and the under part of an inner wardrobe, Kingsley opened it brought out a flash card and inserted it in Port there

"You are not getting away with this" Samuel told Kingsley with a smile

I won't fall so easily and cheaply to use of force by someone who can't even read his environment and know his enemies before attacking

"I know about that I created that antivirus flash drive myself because I know you already have a virus in this information system" he replied Samuel

When the Flash drive completed its download he removed it from the port before pushing Samuel towards the bed he left him and sprinted towards the fence he was already halfway through the fence when two bullets hit him in his back

He came tumbling back down to the ground
