EPISODE TITLE- Who is the Godfather..?










Anger is a silent huntress, He knew that but he allowed it, allowed it wrapped it's cold hands around him..., his face flushed with rage and he unknowingly clench his fist as he waited for him to come out....

He sighted him strolling his way with such a boldness that sent his fist shivering to punch him in the face, a second later, he saw her behind him, his beautiful angel now wrapped in a woeful state....

He ran his hand through his close cropped hair three times in quick succession and fixed hm in a stare that could have frozen the Pacific....., he waited impatiently as he close the distance between them acting like he hasn't done anyone wrong..., the sight of her make his whole body vibrate with fury and he fears what he may do if he comes close to him....

"Silas..."Caleb said, a lopsided grin playing in his cheek..., he approach him taking a taste of his own ripe lips.....

Silas eyes moved from him to his girlfriend behind him, her hands on her skirt every opportunity she got..

Caleb noticed, he glance back to face her before returning his gaze to Silas...
"She was sweet.."Caleb dare to say adding gasoline to fire..

Silas clenched his fist beside him, in a few seconds he will have no choice but to deliver a blow to Caleb's face....

"I might likely have her tonight again..."Caleb added, a ruthless smile following his words..

The words was like a dagger cutting through Silas bones..., he revelled in his own anger, his facial muscles twitches before he slightly raised his powerful hand and boom..., he slammed his wild fist across Caleb face...

Stars burst in Caleb's vision as the powerful punch sent him staggering.., the thugs around quickly came running towards his direction.....

"Leave him.."Caleb said when one of the thugs approached Silas ready to return the punch on Caleb's behalf...

Caleb spat and touch his broken jaw..., blood pooped around his mouth and with a full force, he set a blow to Silas stomach...

Silas groaned and his girlfriend panicked where she stood....

Two of the thugs hold Silas and set his face straight to face Caleb...

"Please don't kill him.."Silas girlfriend pleaded...."I beg you..."

Caleb spat again before he grabbed Silas by the neck with his right hand, a thug extended a gun to him and he quickly placed it on Silas penis....

"What did I tell you huh.."Caleb growled sticking the gun to his fly making sure he was feeling the touch of it...."I told you I'll blow your fùcking balls off if you ever disrespect me again..."

Silas glared at him but never said a word...

"Please..."His girlfriend chimes in kneeling down...."Please, let him go..., I'll do anything you ask of me but please don't kill him...."

Caleb gulp a dry lump in his throat, fused his furious eyes on Silas before he pulled the gun from his fly and stood across him.....

"Take your girlfriend and get out.."Caleb sneer..."You're no longer part of this crew..."

Silas cast him an angry look before he pulled his girlfriend from her knee and began to walk away with her without even looking back......












********************
Claude heaved a deep sigh of happiness as she wrapped her hands around Miranda....
"I'm glad you're back..."Claude whisper into her shoulder..

"Me too..."Miranda said separating from the embrace...

"We need to get those wounds looked at.."Claude said pointing at the bruises on her face....

"There is something you should know..."Miranda said

"Zach is dead..."Claude mutter bitterly

Miranda nodded, the painful moment flashing in her vision....

"Come here, you two need to rest...."

"I need to make a phone call..."Lawrence said stepping closer......"I know my sister's number, let me place a call to her and tell her I'm fine and will be returning soon..."

Claude grope her fingers on her nose with a cringe at Capisho..."With everything going on, you can't do that now, the call will be traced back to us, it's too risky.."

"It's just one call..., my mother will be so worried.., letting her know I'm alive will ease the tension..."

"Fine.."Claude said before she looked Capisho side..."Your phone... "

Capisho hesitated a bit before he took out a small phone from his pocket and handed it to Claude who gave it to Lawrence....

"Thank you.."Lawrence said..

"If she doesn't answer after the first ring..., don't call again, we can't afford anyone knowing you're here, we already lost lots of our men.., our defense is in jeopardy..., if your pursuers attack us, we'll all die..."

Lawrence nodded and dial in Maria's number..









********************
Maria moan into the sheets as Aaron kiss her neck while banging her from behind...., she breathe with ecstasy yearning for more of him, more of his dick in her pussy....

Her phone ringtone went off like a rattled buzzle, a distraction in the euphoric moment....

"My phone..."She mutter with pants breathe as he increase his speed, fùcking her harder.....

"Don't answer..."He whisper into her ears licking her ears in the process...

The move sent her crazy and she cried out in pleasure when he hits the exact place she wants..., she ignored her ringing phone and allow herself to drown into the pleasure....








********************
Disappointed, Lawrence tried to dial the number again but then he remembered Claude words, he can call only once, and he didn't want to put them into trouble because of his mistake..., he walk towards her and gave back the phone..."She didn't answer..."

"She can't call back..."Claude replied giving back the phone to Capisho...

Capsiho opened the sim slot, took the sim out and break it with his fingers...

"Capisho said someone must have slip out the plan.."Claude said to Miranda...

Miranda flash back to the explosion....

"The Godfather knew where our men were..., that made it easy for him to counter our attacks and attack us first instead...."

"Who leaked out the plan doesn't matter now..."Lawrence chimes in..."What matter is we are safe..."

"We aren't safe...."Claude riposte..."Until the Godfather is dead, we aren't safe..., and you aren't safe, so stop thinking about it.."

"I found out something.."Miranda said crisply remembering Riot words...."One of the Godfather's men, he told me the one with the trojan horse is the Godfather..."

"Torjan horse....!"Claude resounds

"Yes....."

"The Greece trojan horse..."Lawrence cut in....

Miranda glance at him..."That's what he told me, he said the one with the trojan horse is the Godfather..."

"That's absurd..."Lawrence said....

"Or not..."Claude interjects...."The Greece were unable to enter Troy, so Epeius built a trojan horse and the Greece pretended to flee from the trojan war leaving one of their men behind who persuaded the trojan armies that the trojan horse was an offering to Anthena, the goddess of war and that was how Troy was defeated....., now let's bring it to our modern world, the name Trojan horse was applied to deceptively benign computer codes that seem like legitimate applications but are written to damage or disrupt a computer’s programming or to steal personal information....., so what if in this case.., the trojan horse is not a wooden horse like in the 20th century, neither is it a virus but a place....."

"He said the one with the trojan horse..."Capisho chime in..."That doesn't sound like a place to me.."

"It does sound like a property..."Lawrence said..."Like he owns it.."

"Exactly...."Claude jump in..."And a property can be a house and a house is a place, and all sorts of things are done in a place..., what if the trojan horse is where the Godfather operates from..., his hideout..."

"Why don't we ask him.."Capisho said

"Ask who..?"Miranda ask anxiously

Claude inhale..."Capisho caught one of the Godfather men..., he was unconscious when he brought he in but now, he's awake, I was on my way to him when you arrived..."

"Where is he...?"








*******************
Anger swept across Miranda's face when she saw the boy tied up in a chair.....

"Welcome back to the world...."Capsiho sneer...

The boy groaned as he glared at each of them......
"You wasted your time bringing me here...."The boy sneer...."I'm not saying a damn thing..."

Capisho eyes flickered with anger and he quickly pressed the boy's injury...
The boy scream in pains before Capisho let go of him...

"We have one question for you.."Claude said...."Where is the Godfather...?"

The boy scoff and tilt his head forward...."I'm the Godfather..."

Claude knit her brows at the reply......"Where is the Godfather hiding...?"She asked again...

"I told you, I'm the Godfather...."He retorted...

"Capisho..."Claude called out and step out of the way..

Once again Capisho pressed on the boy's injury, he screamed before Capisho let go of him.....

"Where is he..?"Claude growled...

The boy breathe heavily before gazing at Claude...."You're going to die soon..."He said

Miranda groan and quickly stepped out of the room....

Annoyed, Capisho slammed his fist across the boy's face and grab the boy's neck before he could regain himself...

"Where is that son of a bitch hiding..?"Capisho growled

Laughter heaved out from the boy's mouth as he slowly turn his face to face him....."Kill me.."

The door blast open again and Miranda came in with a knife, he push Capisho out of the way and before the boy could fathom what was going on, Miranda stab his leg with the knife...

The boy screamed as more blood gush out from his legs..., Miranda dig the knife deeper as the boy's screams echoe throughout the room..

"Miranda...."Claude called crisply as blood pooped without stop from the boy's leg....

"Bitch..."He growled in pains as he try to touch his leg but quickly realise his hands were tied...

"I didn't stab any vital organ..."Miranda said..."Mess with us again and I'll zip this knife down to your popliteal and you won't be able to walk again...., so I'm going to ask you for the very last time, where the hell is the Godfather hiding....?"

The boy pants in pains as he tried to muff words from his mouth...

Impatiently, Miranda forcefully zip the knife down cutting his flesh as more blood gush into her hands and flow from the boy's leg

The boy screamed and began to shake in the chair, Capisho hold his shoulder to stop him from falling...

"Where is he...?"Miranda yelled

The boy quickly took his tongue out, and dig his teeth into it furiously...

"Stop him..."Claude shouted..."He's trying to bite off his own tongue...."

Before Capisho could reach for the boy, he dug his teeth deep into his tongue and cut it with pains, the rest of the tongue fell off to the ground...

"Heyy.."Capisho yelled slapping the boy...

The boy struggle to breathe as his own blood choked him.., after much gasp for breathe..., he died.....

The knife fell from Miranda's hand and she quickly reclined her back on the wall for support......

"He's dead...."Capisho said....








******************
2:26PM








As Lawrence walk along the walkway, he saw the same person he had seen few minutes ago when he went to the queen..., but the person took off but now he was just standing looking at him....

He wonder what he wants, he was dressed as a palace guard and was calling to him with his hand..., Lawrence looked back when he saw Noone, he took a step forward..., he thought about the paper containing the warnings...., he raise his gaze to face the guard again, he thought about the possibility of the guard sending him the warnings and now he was calling him to tell him...

Without time wasting, he began to approach the guard who quickly left where he was standing..., Lawrence ran after him to catch up with him until he found himself in another part of the palace.., when he didn't see the guard, he turn to walk away and that was when he saw a shadow on the ground, his heart froze before he spun around to face him..., he was a young boy probably in his 20s.....

"Hey..."Lawrence mutter but the boy step back like he was afraid of him..

"Don't be scared..."Lawrence said walking close to him..."Are you the one who's been sending me those warnings...?"

He swallowed dryly when the boy nodded....."Why do you think I'm not safe here...?"He ask drawing closer to him...

He waited for the boy to answer.., he watch the boy look around but no one was in sight...

"Hey.."Lawrence mutter ...."Who are you and why do you think I'm not safe here...?"

The boy look back at him.., Lawrence eyes widened with shock when the boy took out a knife and was about stabbing him..., Lawrence snapped out of his shock in time and hold the boys hand before he could reach his stomach with the knife...

"Who are you..?"Lawrence asked, trepidation engulfing him...

The boy didn't reply, instead he took out another knife with his other hand and slashed it at Lawrence making a big straight cut in his hand......

Pain and blood erupted from the cut but Lawrence ignored it and counter the boy's second attack....









********************
Miranda pace about in the room, she stopped and gaze at the picture of the trojan horse in the laptop...., Riot words resounding in her head over and over.......

"The one with the trojan horse..."She mutter to herself as she took a careful look at the picture.., she examined the woods it was built with..., then she came back to modern age and think upon the trojan horse as an app, a virus...., she glanced at the picture again as the flashes of the moment Riot said the words to her appear in her vision....

"The one with the trojan horse is the Godfather..."She said to herself....."What could it possibly mean....?"

The one with the trojan horse.....the one with the trojan horse is the Godfather....the Godfather...

EPISODE TITLE- The one with the trojan horse








"Wait..."She said sharply as fear travelled in her veins ...., she knew running or trying to fight him would be a disaster, an inlet for the enemy to surge through....

Her heart was hammering hard against her chest but she kept her gait casual without a hint of hesitation...."Before you shoot me..."She said lightly..."I want to know something..."

He raise a brow at her still holding the gun to her face..."What..?"

"The Godfather, who is he and where is he hiding...?"

Riot chuckle..."Why should I tell you about the Godfather.."

"Because you want to kill me and I know whatever I say wont matter to you..., you already arrive at the conclusion..., so see this as a dying woman's wish..., who is the Godfather....?"

He grit..."The one with the trojan horse is the Godfather...."

The word resounds in her head ..."Trojan horse...!"

"Goodbye princess.."He said between his teeth, a mirthless smile surround his lips as he got ready to pull the trigger...

She shudder with heavy breathe..., she thought about her loved ones and close her eyes when she realise there is no other way to turn, no matter what she says or do to convince him.., he will just kill her anyway....

Fear engulf her entire self as she waited for the bullet to hit her..., she waited for what felt like an eternity but was just a second..., she quickly open her eyes only to see him smiling at her.....

She was about to talk, to latch out at him and that was when someone from nowhere dived at Riot and they crashed to the ground, their bodies hitting the rough ground hard...

In that split second of shock and panic.., she recognised the person who just joined them....THE PRINCE..

Lawrence quickly got up as Riot tried to do same.., Lawrence threw the first punch throwing Riot back to the ground..., Lawrence rushed at him again and slammed his fist across his face again.., blood pooped from Riot mouth and nose as Lawrence punch him consistently.....

Riot eyes burned with rage and when Lawrence try to throw another punch.., Riot cut his fist in the air, glared at him before forcefully pushing him off his body...

Both men stood up same time.., they glared at each as they catch their breathe...

Riot spit out blood, search for his gun but he couldn't find it.., in that split second, Lawrence rushed at him but Riot was faster..., he dodge his advances before they dive at each other again, eyes narrowed in full determination..

Riot dodged Lawrence fist and came up with his own; for a brief instant, his dark eyes widened before he managed to tilt his head back and slam it into Lawrence.

Stars burst in Lawrence vision but he shook it off and threw his body weight behind Riot fist that edged closer to his face, it hit his jaw with such force and blood pooled into his mouth but that was certainly the least he could take.., When Riot attempted to drive his fist across his face again.., he dodge and without time wasting, he punched Riot hard in the stomach..

Pain erupted from the point of contact making Riot bow and hold his stomach...

In that prime moment of pains, Lawrence grasped Riot head in his hands and brusquely brought his knee cap up to his nose...

Crimson leaked from both Riot nostrils and his nose....., it angered him to the core, he regained momentum.., when Lawrence drew closer..., he drew his fist back and plunged it into Lawrence stomach...

Lawrence groaned, his guts smashed together, blood vessels bursting..... but he never allowed him take control..., so when Riot threw another punch at his face.., he suck the pain in and immediately, he slammed his fist hard against Riot jaw...

The fierce blow sent Riot staggering backward as more blood pooped from his mouth infuriating him more...

"Bullshit.."Riot growled charging at Lawrence but quickly stopped when a bullet pierce into his stomach..., more blood poured from his mouth before he raised his head to see who shot him...

Miranda remembered how he killed Harry, then Zach.., the burning animosity pushed her to the edge and she quickly fire more bullets into Riot blasting his body with bullets holes..., her dead friends flashing in her visions, she continued shooting him until she ran out of bullets.....upon realization.., she cried out with a loud scream...

Riot fell to his knees as blood flow from all parts of his body..., he glanced up at Miranda again before he ultimately fell into his own pool of blood and gave up the ghost...

"Hey hey.."Lawrence mutter holding Miranda into place..."It's okay, he's dead.., he's dead...."

Her breathe reverberated and she crunched to the ground with the help of Lawrence..., hot tears dripping from her eyes

"It's okay..."Lawrence mutter with pants breathe as he held her head to his chest..."It's over for now..."







*******************
"What did you just say...?"The DPO queried standing up from his chair...

Kess lips quivered as the painful flashes of what happened to Dorathy jut his vision....

"She's dead sir..."He mutter bitterly

"How..?"The DPO queried finding it hard to believe the words...

Kess sniffle fighting back the tears..."I got a call from her phone this morning...., but it wasn't her, it was someone else demanding I come to the address they send to me..., else they were going to kill her..., I went there and saw her with a bomb tied to her body.."

"A bomb..!"The DPO blare out....

"Yes.., I tried to diffuse it but I couldn't, she.., she asked me to leave, she begged me to leave.., I never intended to run.., I..

"You what.."The DPO cut in brusquely..."What happened..?"

"The bomb timer was already progress.., it was almost zero.., I..

"You ran away like a coward.."The DPO snarled..."You abandoned an officer in distress.., what sort of a person are you.."

"I I.. I...

"I knew it.."The DPO chided.."I knew with you here, everything we've ever worked for will be flushed down the drain, you're a total bad luck, you're a...

"Don't you understand what I'm saying..?"Kess yelled directly at his face..

The DPO flinch by the anger in Kess voice....

"She's dead..."Kess reminded him...."Dorathy is dead okay and the people who killed her are out there celebrating...."

"Who killed her then..?"The DPO growled......

Kess flare his nostril and step back from him..."Liam..., chief Borgias son.."

"And how did you know that...?"

"Because he's the one who called me..."

"That is not...

"She told me...."Kess cut in.."She told me herself before she got exploded.., it was Liam..., he wanted me dead for the shipment..."

"If he wanted you dead, why not just kill you, why involve Dorathy..."

Kess sniffle and glowered at him..."You should be gathering men to arrest that son of a bitch.."

"Don't you see this..., you cannot arrest anyone without proper evidence.. "

"I'm the evidence..."Kess growled

"Are you...., that doesn't prove anything..."

"Dorathy told me herself..."

"And where is she now.., we need to go by the book, you cannot arrest anyone with the testimony of a dead person......"

Kess curl his lips and take another step back.., with the way his body was acting up.., he might lose himself to the anger lingering inside him and he fears what he'll do....

"I'm not going to war with that family without proper proof to tie them to this crime.. , do you understand that...?"

"What I understand sir.."He retorted taking a step towards his table.."Is you're scared of these men.. , you're afraid of what they can do to you.., that's why you aren't doing anything.."

"Do not talk to me like that..."

Kess nod his head once and took a step back again...."Dorathy was a good officer...., and it will be a great shame if her so claimed superior doesn't do anything to bring her killers to justice...."

The DPO glare at him...

"Goodday sir..."Kess sneer ignoring his expression...., he didn't take another look at him before leaving the office...

Infuriated, the DPO slammed his palm on the table.....








*******************
Once again, Lawrence looked Miranda way, she was still glaring at Riot dead body like she was wishing he was still alive to feel her wrath, to feel a taste of the anger inside her....

"Are you okay..?"He asked jutting his chin.., pain from the bruises in his body seared across his face.., he bit his lip to stuck in the pain..

She manage to look his way but quickly take it off and refocused her gaze on Riot lifeless body...

"You've be staring at that body for a while now..., don't you think we should start leaving...?"

Anger roused every muscle inside her and all she feels is to punch the man who had caused her this pain she's feeling.....

"Hey.."Lawrence chime in..

She wipe her face dry and stood up from the ground..

Surprise by her act, he stood up to meet her gaze...."He's dead Miranda.."

"You think I don't know that.."She retorted....."I know he's dead okay.., I shot him myself..."

He exhale wondering why he was even wasting time talking to her.., he needed to get home and spending time trying to talk her out of her whatever daymare she was having was totally irrelevant.....

"Fine.."He riposte..."If you want to be here so you can keep staring at her.., you're welcome to continue, I'm leaving..."

"Thank you.."She said when he turn to walk away..

He huff and face her....

"Thank you for coming when I needed someone..."She added

His smile slip..."You're welcome..."

She took a last glance at the body before walking ahead of him...

"Do you know our way out of here..?"He ask catching up with her..."I've been running in circles.."

"Exactly how did you escape...?"She ask sharply tilting her head to face him...."I remenber very well you were attacked..."

"I took them out and I ran without looking back.."

"Mm..., never knew you were full of power..."

"Never knew you were full of it too...."

She didn't smile, she wanted to but her visible pain and anger won't let her.....

"So where are we going...?"

"To the palace..."

"I need to get home..."

"I know but you need to get to the palace first...., and I promise you, our guards will take you home safety..."

"No bullshit bait game with me again..."

She grunt..."No bullshit bait game..."

She took off her face from him and walk faster, her mind brooding over Riot words when she asked him the identity of the Godfather......., The Godfather is the one with the trojan horse....the trojan horse....








********************
Chief Borgias frown as he dropped the phone to his side....., he walk towards Liam, gulp down a glass of water before speaking...."It seems the queen is catching the fish.."

"What do you mean..?"Liam ask

"Our man from the palace just called..."Chief Borgias said..."Tiger is expecting the white man..."

"The white man.."Liam shrugged..."So..."

"Before the king died..., I learnt he was communicating with this same white man about some nuclear weapons..., he didn't finalize the contract before he died and now Tiger wants to finalize it..."

"What does she need with a nuclear weapon..?"Liam asked curiously

"What she needs and what she doesn't need is not the problem now..., we certainly don't want to find out about that...., the white man will be landing soon..., we need him on our side to get those weapons..."

"So what do you want me to do Dad...?"

"I want you to abduct him.., I learnt his name is Hunter but I don't know his identity..., no matter what you have to do son.., do not let that white man set foot in the palace...."

"Roger that Pops.."

"Son..."Chief Borgias said..."Be careful incase it's another trap.. "








********************
"It's almost time Sulieman..."Queen Tiger said staring at the wall clock.....

"I'm just curious if he'll corporate when he finds out the king is dead..."Sulieman said

"He will have no choice but to corporate..."She riposte... "We need those weapons Sulieman...., you know how urgent we need them..., so whatever happens we must make him sign those weapons to us...., without the king's presence..."

"Alright then..."Sulieman said..."Let me go and get ready..."

She raise her brows and watch him walk away..., she walk towards a table and took out a book from the drawer...., she opened the pages and took out a picture of the trojan horse..., her mind brood over the past events before she trot towards the mirror.....

"Wherever you are..."She said looking at the picture....."I will find you...., your time will soon be up trojan horse...."

EPISODE TITLE- And God bless her soul









As Kess walked towards the house, his eyes moved slower and always more down-cast...., nothing can explain how he feels, his world had shattered and he didn't know if it would ever be right again..., he staggered, his eyes and face still drenched with tears, his whole body dominated with profound sadness....
His lip quivered before he bring himself to knock on the door...

The sadness flowed through his veins and deadened her mind and all he feels at that moment was anger, anger towards the people who killed her and he will make sure her killers pay for what they did..., Breathy gasps reverberated throughout his body, each mingling with the anger he feels inside him....

He sniffle fighting away the tear as chief Dario opens the door...., Dario noticed, noticed his sad mood and he drew closer to him....

"They killed her.."Kess said amidst tears and anger....."They killed Dorathy...."

Dario nibbed and quickly give him his shoulder to rest on..

Gut wrecking tears flow out from his eyes as his head brood over the awful way she died.....

"Cry it out son..."Dario said tapping him in his shoulder as Kess sob into his shoulder..









*******************
Mind totally unsettled, Tamara walk towards the guard she had spoken to earlier that day.., her mind brood over the blood water she saw earlier and how she's been thinking it could be Joshua's blood....
She trot forward only to see the guard a few walks away.., she look around, she saw two of the AS squad looking at her.., she almost stopped but then she realise finding out what happened to Joshua is far more important than anyone looking at her...., she ignore the guards and trot forward towards the guard....

"Hey.."She said looking around to see if anyone was watching, if that was Joshua's blood, it certainly means someone killed him...

"Tamara what are you doing here..?"The guard asked sharpily..

Tamara took a breathe to calm her panic, she look around again to see if anyone was looking her way, she saw a guard staring their way, when the guard look away, she turn to face him again...

"I saw something..."She said

The guard nibbed and glance at his side boldly showing his lack of interest....

"What..?"He ask looking her way again..

She look at her side and saw the same guard looking their way.., he was staring so hard like he was suspecting they were discussing something, something that concerns him...

"I saw blood.."She said reverting her gaze from the guard to him

He tilt his head showing a little interest..."Blood..!"

"Yes blood.., I saw it while I was sweeping..."

"Where did you see blood...?"He ask anxiously

"At the abandoned quarter...."

"Was it really blood you saw...?"

"I know blood when I see one.., there was a mop there and it was soaked with the blood.., it's someone's blood, I know it, I can feel it in my bones"

He grit look around again before facing her....

"I know what I'm saying.. "She added

He suck on his teeth but didn't say a word...

"I can show you where I saw it.."

"Even if it's blood we don't know whose blood it is.."

"It's Joshua.."She cut in..

"You don't know that"

"I know it.., it's his blood.."

"Look Tamara.."He mutter drawing close to her .."I think you're getting a bit over this.., you're just paranoid and that's why you're assuming things.."

"You think I'm assuming, I'm telling you, I saw blood.."

"Fine I believe you but that gets us nowhere..."

"Joshua is our friend and he's missing, don't you want to find out if he's dead or still alive..."

"I do ..."

"Then believe me when I say this..., Joshua aren't just missing.., he's dead and somebody in this palace killed him..."

He drew his lips between his teeth and look around with unsettled eyes...

"What...?"She cut in when she noticed his nervousness

He inhale softly and fused his gaze on her..."Look I didn't want to tell you this.."

"Tell me what..?"She asked anxiously

He glance at his side as he remenber what he find out..

"What..?"She ask again..

"I never wanted to tell you this..."He said crisply..."I asked around and the last time someone saw Joshua was he entering the princess room.."

She tilt her head forward, shock sweeping across her face...."I knew it..."She said remembering that moment she saw Aaron coming out from the princess room....

"When was this...?"She added anxiously

"Day before yesterday...."

She swallowed forcefully as her thoughts heightened.., she remember confronting Aaron, she brood over his reaction...., she revisit the memory of seeing him coming out from the princess room.., they kissed...., if Joshua was seen entering the princess room, it could mean two things, either the princess is sleeping with them both or Joshua finds out something, the princess knew and she summon him to her chamber...., she must have tried to warn him to be quiet, Joshua could have refused and he was murdered for it......

"If it's true..."He chime into her thoughts..."If it's true he's truly dead, then I suspect we're dealing with the royal family..., or someone dangerous.."

"What do you mean someone dangerous...?"

"Rumours are already going around, people are saying someone is making people disappear, same person that made the king disappear..."

"The king didn't disappeared, he died..."

"Exactly the point, people are beginning to say the person must have killed Joshua...., it could be Joshua found out something about the misery surrounding the king's dead, and he got killed for it..."

"Lastnight.."She said.. "I saw Aaron coming out from the princess room.., they kissed..."

"What..?"

"Yes.., I think the princess was sleeping with both of them, or just Aaron and Joshua finds out and got killed for it..., they have mop the blood and dump it in the abandoned quarters because they think noone will see it since noone goes there....."

"It doesn't make sense...., why kill someone and leave the evidence......?"

"I don't know, but I know what I saw was blood..."

"Or maybe it's blood for something else.., a trap perhaps.."

"A trap for what...., you dont use blood to set a trap.., they callously left it there...."








*****************
That painful moment made a flash in Kess head making he grew furious than never before...

"So she said Liam..."Dario reiterated with his hands propelled behind his back....

"That son of a bitch..."Kess snarled clenching his fingers...."I need a gun...., I'm going to kill him.."

"No son...."Dario said drawing nearer to him..."You cant act irrational now.."

"You don't know what they did to her."

"I know son.., I know..., cry now, wail all you want but do not act in the gleam of rage...it'll destroy you...."

His lips quivered as the painful event flashed in his vision...

"If they were after you, they only killed her because they want you to feel what you're feeling..., this is their retaliation for what you did to the shipment..., Liam must have known if he kills her..., you'll be prone to meet him with the aim of killing him just the way you want to....., they'll be waiting for you to give you the worst death you can ever imagine...."

"They killed Dorathy..."He repeated painfully

"And God bless her soul.., but you should know this is your life at stake here and it'll be a shame if you die without fulfilling your promises of avenging her death..."

"I cannot live knowing the bastards that killed my partner are dinning and wining..."

"You have to.., it's in your best interest...., leave Liam for now, his time will come and when that time comes..., you can unleash this rage you're feeling right now.., to defeat the enemy..., be a smarter enemy..., outlive their expectation and when the right time comes, you'll walk in like a thief in the night...., hitting them where it burns....., but for now, you need to hold in this rage, swallow it...., and open your brains to think...., first question..., since you're the target, why did they kill her and not you..., second question.., if you don't do as they expect, what would be their next plan..., third question, where would they likely attack you from.., your hotel room, on the road or the police station...., these are things you need to know and don't think of going by the book.., the greedy men of Saruza do not respect the book.., arrest them today and tomorrow they're out more stronger.., so playing by the book is a total no,.attacking them on a front is also a total no..., they have verse armies who are ready to lay down their lives to protect him and his son Liam......"

He sniffle and look up to face him.."So what should I do...?"

"You'll attack them from all corners but from afar...., you'll become a torn in their flesh..., you'll be in their head every minute of the day.., and guess where that leaves you...?"

He shrugged but didn't reply....

"You'll be the number one on the black list..., the most important target.., and when it gets to that level..., they lost reasoning because all they want to do is kill you...and that will be their vulnerable mistake....., and that's where you implore the snake...."

"Snake..!'He mutter..."Is that a strategy ?"

"Yes...., what does a snake do when it sees a threat...?"

"It runs..."

He scoff..."It doesn't, it hides where you cant find it unless you searched harder..., meanwhile the threat is already impatient, all it wants is to kill the snake..., he starts beating around in search of the snake...., he isn't seeing the snake but the snake sees him..., the snakes knows he is there but it doesn't strike yet.., it allows the threat to come closer and when he eventually does.....boom.."








*******************
The way her heart was beating, Miranda realise sooner he's going to notice how scared she is..., she inhale softly and regain her composure as she take him through dreaded places of the Bush...

"Do you have a mum..?"She dared to ask as they walk further into the bush..

"I said don't talk.."He retorted maintaining the harshness in his voice...

She swallowed..."Well if we're going to keep moving, we should at least have a conversation..."

"Why do you care if I have a mother..?"He chided from behind her...

"Is she alive..?"She added letting go of every fear inside her...

She bit her lip when he didn't reply...."If she is, does she knows you're a psychopath who kills for fun.."

He quickly overtake her and point the gun to her head..

She froze as she stare at the gun muzzle once again...

"One more word about my mother and I'll kill you...for fun.."

Resentment warped around her lips, she hated his guts, hated his face and everything about him...
"Fine.."She sneer..."But I'm going to keep talking even if it's not about your mum.."

"Well let's start with where you're taking me to...."

Her stomach crumble with fear and she wanted to take a step back but quickly realise how stupid it will look if she gave him the impression she was scared, people like him, they feed on your fears and tramp their feet on it....

"You mentioned earlier a guard took the prince to the safe place.."He continue holding the gun to her face.."And I've been thinking, if the guard can take him there, he can take him to the palace...., and there's absolutely no way the prince will be there, you want to know why....?"

She froze where she stood, her body vibrating to the firmness of the gun that's been pointed at her....

"Because he won't put his life at risk again..."He continue..."The prince knows we are after him, he put his life on the line for your queen once but he won't do it again, only a stupid person will repeat the same mistake..., I think the prince went off on his own, you don't know where he is..."

She try to muffle words yet what came out was engulf in stutters..."I..I..

"Shuu shu shu.."He shush her...."I think you're just trying to buy time by leading me somewhere else....., so princess dear..., you have two seconds to talk..., where the hell are you leading me...?"

She heard her heartbeat beating with tremendous speed, threatening to rip out of her chest, at that slight moment, she lost words to say..., her brain stopped and just when she finally open her frozen mouth to talk..he hopped in....

"One..."He sneer curling his fingers around the trigger...."And that's two..., bye princess..."

STILL ON DAY 3






Sweat rolled down her skin in thick, salty beads as she run as fast as her legs can carry her, She could feel her heart throbbing inside her chest. Her skin felt like it was roasting..., she bolted down the woods like an Olympic champion at the start gun....., she didn't know where she was running to, all she care about was getting to safety, getting from the man who had killed Harry.., and then Zach...

Her hair whipped back and forth behind her like a fiery tale as she flung herself over stones and tree trucks..., assure she had given herself a distance between her and the man who killed Zach, she stopped running and took a minute to take a breather..., she inhale heavily, dragging in all the air she can take in..., she look around, the road wasn't familiar but she believes she'll find her way out, what matters now is surviving.....

With rasping throat, tears find her eyes once more and they rolled out in beads from her eyes..., the pain of loosing another close one sink into her bones.., deeply crumbling down every strong wall she have left inside her.., she gave way to more tears as her legs collaspe making her fall to her knees.....

Tears tinged with great anger flowed unchecked from her swollen eyes igniting her pains....., She sniffle, then wheezes as her burning lungs gasp for air. Her legs feel numb and unsteady, painfully sore. Her throat feels dry, so uncomfortably dry and she knew she needed water but where on earth would she get one..

She got up reminding herself the deal has been done, they're dead, she's still alive and that's all that matters now...., her clothes clung to her body, she look around in search of anything, any weapon that could come in handy in case of danger, when she saw nothing but pile of woods..., she swallowed bitterly and step forward to continue her journey..., between finding a way out and scanning her eyes in search of a weapon..., a loud gunshot sounded.., she shivered believing the gunshot came from a close distance......

Her heart throbbing hard, she spun around and there he was, her ultimate enemy, there he was, wearing a smile on his face like he didn't just kill someone she cared about in cold blood..., how he found her wasn't no longer the question..., what she's going to do is what's hitting her.....

She never anticipated for this moment, but he came, he has a gun and she has nothing..., all there was were broken sticks scattered everywhere, none could foister the weight of a small metal that could cause terrific damage to her body..

"Don't you get tired of running..."Riot chided approaching her..

Her heart raced and her breathe came in shorts..., between her body and the surrounding, she knew she was going to die, no one is coming to help this time...

"You run pretty good girl..."Riot sass..."I almost gave up pursuing you...."

She shouldn't have stopped.., there could be 5% possibility he wouldn't have caught her off guard if she hasn't stopped but that wasn't important now, she's here facing the devil who could torment her before throwing her wretch soul to the devil....., she weigh the pros and cons of the stupid idea that was heaping in her head...., fighting him is totally stupid.., boring him with her talks is likely equal to insanity but one of the option will go a long way in keeping her alive until hopefully someone finds her or until hopefully he gets bored and shoot her just as he did Harry, Zach and many more of her people...

"Who could have known princesses run this fast..."Riot said..

She glared at him, is the only thing she could do..., she wish glares can pierced a person's heart, she'll be more than happy to pierced the devil's heart standing in front of her.....

"I'm not a princess..."She said, voice coat with spite...

"If you stay in a palace you're a princess..."He returned, a mirthless smile accompanying his words..

His smile infuriated her more and all she wanted was to kill him...., but killing him was far from her reach...
"Is that what you were taught...?"She asked with the anger inside her....

He took out his tongue..."Hola..."

She dare to step closer to him when her mind keeps barking at her to be running.., she certainly have no plans, no way she's going to escape from him without a bullet catching up with her......

"I'm not a princess.."She reiterated wondering if she keeps him in the conversation she might get closer and have a chance to fight back.., fight him with all she got......

"Okay..."His voice rumbled low.., he tilt his head and took a step forward..

She shudder wondering what will happen if he gets to her.., if he slammed his hard fist across her face again.., she's still feeling the drastic effect of the earlier collision of his fist with her cheek....

"So the prince vanish..."He said, opening his two hands wide...

She lock her eyes with him and that was when it occured to her, the prince was the key.., Zach had the right right key but he couldn't unlock the door.....

"Your men killed him...."She riposte keeping her composure, the last thing she wants is he thinking she's afraid of him..."Don't you know that..?."

"That bastard must have a guardian angel..."Riot sneer..."He took out six of my men.., I found them dead.."

"Oh.."She hushed surprise..., she never knew the prince had such killing instinct...."Too bad then..."

"Too bad..."He mutter before blew a silent whistle with his mouth...."Too bad is you're useless to me now and do you know what happens to useless people....?"

She glared at him but didn't give a reply...

"They die.."He said before pointing the gun at her...

Her heart raced with tremendous speed as she realise any second she'll drop dead from a bullet....,in that fearful moment, she needed to implore a tact, and the best tactic is using the key.......

"I know where he is..."She said sharpily as her eyes shut close.., a second later she reopen them only to see him still pointing the gun at her but she's still alive....

He scoff and drop the gun to his side again..."Earlier you didn't know where he is and now you miraculously know..., who exactly are you trying to fool here...?"

Good question.., who exactly is she trying to fool.., he's a psychopath who kills for fun....."I'm telling you now..."She manage to utter but with heavy breathe..."I know where the prince is..."

He nibbed and pointed the gun at her again..

She froze as all muscles in her squeezed themselves into a state of paralysis .....

"Then start talking..."Riot snarled






********************
Tamara sang as she sweeps the floor..., when she was young, she has dreamt of becoming a singer..., many times her father tells her she has the voice of an angel...., and she will smile and wish for the glory days...

A smile crawl on her face as her head revisit the good memories of her childhood...., they were the memories that brings joy to her whenever she feels down, is just like her father has always say..., when you're sad or feel trapped, think about the good moments of your life and she's been applying it to her daily life hoping it never stops working for her...

She continued sweeping until she came across a bucket with a mop on it..., with the intentions of taking it out wondering why someone will abandon a mop there, she grabbed it..., trepidation almost suck the breathe out of her..., she enlarged her eyes as she stare at the red water.., she look closer wondering what could make the water to be reddish, just then it occured to her......BLOOD....

She looked back, nobody was in sight.., she raised the mop stick, it was soaked with the red liquid....
Her heart pulsating, she look around again, her head going in circles.., if it's blood, then whose blood....., fear gripped her at the only name that rang in her head...JOSHUA







*******************
What could be more dangerous than a psychopath pointing a gun at you..., Miranda knew there was no other option, if she's going survive long, she need to be extra careful, extra smart in her tactics..., she think carefully on her next words for they will decide if she lives or dies and right now dying is certainly not an option for her...

"Before we launched the attack..."She said holding herself from fidgeting, if she's going to convince him, she needs to be confident.., he's a psychopath, if she isn't composed, he will read through her lies...."We had a plan, and the plan was, if something happens, the prince goes to the safe place..."

"I know the safe place, you were heading there..."

"Not there.."She jump in immediately..."Somewhere else.., the plan was for the prince to wait there until we are sure everything is calm..."

"Where is this place...?"

The eagerness in his voice convince Miranda she was doing a great job.., and it gave her closure to continue..."It's called the brozen farm..."

"Where the hell is that..?"

"Is a place not too far from here, I was actually heading there before you caught me..."

"Why would the prince still be there...?"He queried

"He has no phone to communicate with anyone from the palace and two he will be sticking to the plan..., it was our plan c..."

"You better not be lying to me princess...."

She almost flinched by the roughness in his voice..."You're facing me with a gun, why would I be lying...?"

"Because you'll do anything to save yourself...."

She swallowed forcefully as she fears her plan was slowly falling off the ladder....."Zach lied to you and he died..., I won't do that..."

"But you'll rather been punched then tell the truth...."He returned...."You're lying now..."

"You think I didn't know my people were coming for me... , I knew they were coming to save me and that's why I never revealed the location of the prince to you..."

"Why do now..?"

She frown at the question..."I wont give up my life to save his..., so if you want to save the prince, drop the gun..."

He chuckle.."Why on earth would I do that, I can kill you right now and find the damn place myself..."

She nibbed maintaining her composure..."You can, but you'll never find the place, you know why, because only three of us knows the way to the brozen farm..., me, the queen and the guard who took the prince there.., so you see..., kill me and you're fucķed up..."

With renting heart, she waited impatiently for his reply..., with the way her body was reacting to her own lies and the devil that stood in front of her, she fears he'll sense it and everything will zoom back to square one...

"Fine then..."Riot said..."Lead the way.."

She wore a half smile and quickly turn around as she hatched her next plan..

"Know this princess..."Riot said from behind her..."If it turns out you're leading me to a trap, I swear to God, I'll kill you before anything happens to me..."

She smile knowing he wasn't seeing her face..."Are you scared of a woman...?"

He didn't reply, instead he close the gap she was giving him....."Walk faster..."

She swallowed knowing they're going nowhere, there's no brozen farm, no prince hiding there...and certainly she doesn't even care what happens to the prince....

"I said faster..."Riot scowled

Like a little girl, she obeyed, only if he knew she was leading him to the dangerous parts of the bush..., into a dangerous world where surviving is not an option but a basic necessity......
All thanks to the hunter, she knows her way around these thick bushes...., let the animals of the forest be ready because she's bringing to them a fresh prey....

EPISODE 23
EPISODE TITLE- Painful Retaliation








Dorathy was mortified, she rest her head on the car steering, totally traumatised by what happened in Kess room.., how could she be so reckless and stupid...
She exhale bitterly, hit slowly on the car steering before she started the car and drove out of the hotel...

She swung the car wheels into the roads all the way thinking about what she did, how she acted....., she wonder how she'll face him when he finally returns to the office...., just when she was about turning into another road to drive to her house, a car speedily drove in front if hers....

Shocked she quickly kick on her brakes and wasted no time in reaching for her gun, only to raise her head to see a man pointing a gun at her...

"Don't even think about it...?"The man sneer with a baritone voice...

Another man quickly open the car door, took the gun from her hand and they led her to the car.., they shove her inside, get into the car and speedily drove off....






******************
The rich benignant cigar smoke eddied coolly down his throat; he puffed it out again in rings which breasted the air bravely for a moment; blue, circular......, he took another deep drag and exhaled the smoke into the air, watching it disappear in the cloud of smoke above their booth.....

He quickly dropped it when he saw one of Caleb close buddy approaching....

"Hey Balak..."He said stopping him...."I need to ask you something..."

"What is it..?"Balak ask with a touch of impatience....

He exhale, swipe the bottom of his nose before speaking out..."How is she..?"

"How's who..?"

"My girlfriend damnit.."He retorted, voice clipped with spite..

"Look man, you better forget that girl..."

The words sent his inside seething with rage..."What did he do to her...?"

"He slept with her, that's what he did to her..."

Resentment colour his face, the bitter truth making him slowly lose it, he couldn't sleep a wink the previous night knowing another man was fùcking his girlfriend..
"I know that okay..."He riposte bitterly..."I just want to know where she is, is she out of his room..?"

"They're still in there...naķed"

He bit his lip hard...

"Forget about her man..."Balak said...

"When is she going to come out..?"

Balak shrugged..."Do I look like a future teller to you... ,I don't fùcking know when the boss will be done fùcking her, so if I were you man.., I'll start finding another hole to dig my dick in...."

Fed up, he glare at him and left him there....






*******************
The pain throb into her guts as she tried to raise her face but quickly realized how futile it was when she had to bite her lip to keep from crying out.....

"Tell me.."Riot groan grabbing her bleeding face so she can look at him....."Where is the prince...?"

She glared at him, her face drenched with blood and dropping freely from her broken nose..

"Where is he..?"He yelled at her...

"I don't know..."She hollered....

Riot burrowed his eyes into her and stare daggers at her.., his jaw twitch with anger before he finally let go of her....

Miranda wince in pains and her head spin for a moment before she got herself back again...

"Are you lying to me..?"Riot ask with no form of softness in his voice...

Her lips curl and she spat out blood, once again the memory of him shooting Harry found way to her head infuriating her more....."I'm not lying to you.."

"You were with him.., where did he go...?"

Searing fiery burst pulsated around her face, intensifying with every facial muscle she move...."You're forgetting something..., your people dragged me out of there..., how would I possibly know where the prince is when I was brought here..."

"You must have had a plan..."Riot said walking close to her again..

She flinch as he drew closer...."We had no plan..., the only plan we had was one that the Godfather messed up for us..., so if you're going to kill me, go ahead and stop boring with questions about the prince..."

"You think I'm boring you...?"He riposte, voice harsh...

She didn't answer, more of his fist across her face will probably send her to an early grave than what she hopes for.....

"If the queen doesn't bring me the prince..., I will deliver your head to her..."

Fear shook her to her root..., her whole body racing with it..., she took her eyes from his gaze greatly offended by his looks...

"Boss..."A voice chime in from behind..

After much stare at her, Riot revert his gaze from her to the direction of the voice...."What is it..?"

"Someone from the palace is here..."

Shock, Miranda turn to face the man who had join them, all the way wondering who came from the palace....

"Does he have the prince..?"Riot asked with a cringe at Miranda...

"He came with someone.."

"Who..?"

"We haven't seen his face yet.., he's blindfolded..., we wanted you to check for yourself..."

"Fool..."Riot cursed and walk pass the man to meet the man from the palace...

Zach clenched his fist as he fused his eyes on Riot who was approaching him..., his eyes turn to the five men who were pointing their guns at him before he fused them back on Riot who was now closer to him...

"It seems the queen is scared to save her cousin.."Riot sneer, a taunting smile circling his left cheek

Resentment swept across Zach face but he didn't show it...certainly not now...

"Have you search him..?"Riot asked

"Yes..."One of the men replied showing to him the gun and knife they took from him..

"Why blindfold the prince, or could it be he isn't the prince...?"Riot said walking closer to him...

"I want to see Miranda..."Zach chime in stopping Riot in his track...

Riot taunting smile slip.."Well for that to happen..., I have to be sure if this is the prince.."

"And I have to be sure she's still alive.."Zach retorted totally infuriated

"She's fine.."Riot said

"Miranda..."Zach returned without flinch..."And then the prince..."

Riot chuckle..."You do know I can kill you right where you stand and still get the prince...."

Zach frown at the words and took a quick glance at the hut not too far from him, he eye counted the men that are around the premises..., they were three men near the hut, five are with him and he have no idea how many are inside the hut.....

"That will be cowardly of you..."Zach chided..."Because you'll be shooting an unarmed man.."

Riot laugh..."Who cares if you're unarmed..., you think this is a movie..."

Zach grunt..."I still need to see the princess before I turn the prince over to you..."

Riot stare at the man, his hands were tightly tied and the blindfold cover his face to his shoulder......"The prince I know have a loud mouth.. , this one is mute like a zombie..."

"Okay let's do this.."Zach said.."If you find out he aren't the prince, you can shoot me and send my head as breakfast to the queen..."

Riot nibbed.."I love this idea and I promise to execute it as you've stated...bring the girl out..."

One of the men quickly rushed towards the hut...

"This better be the prince..."Riot said walking towards the man again...

Zach heart ached when they took Miranda out and he saw her bloodied face...

"What did you do to her you bastard...?"He yelled at Riot who raise his hand to remove the blindfold from the man's face...., rage seared through him upon knowing it wasn't the prince..., push to the extreme, he took out the gun and shot the impostor before turning the gun to face Zach...

"Zach..."Miranda mutter with fear as the impostor dead body landed on the ground...

"You think I'm joking here....?"Riot queried angrily...

Slowly Zach wrapped his fingers into a fist as his body boul with anger...

With shock still rolling in Miranda, she took a step forward..., she knew Zach wouldn't come here without a plan, but what is the plan....

Riot took the gun closer to his face so he can feel the muzzle, the terror it can create...."I know you want to die..., but it isn't you I'm going to kill..."He said and quickly turn the gun to face Miranda...

Miranda's heart hammered against her chest as she stare at the man that wields a gun at her...

Riot circle his fingers around and just when he was about pulling the trigger, a bullet came out from nowhere almost reaching him and that was when the fire began..

Zach dive at Riot as other men ran out from the Bush and open fire..., with Riot down from the fall and bullets flying everywhere, Zach quickly grab Miranda and began to take off with her...., bullets whirled around them but they continue running not bothering to look back....









******************
Dorathy struggled with the ropes her body was tied to the chair with and muffled words into the piece of cloth her mouth was gag with.....

They took the cloth from her mouth and she sneak in a little fresh breathe before she shouted....

"What the hell do you want from me....?"

"She has the number on her phone boss..."A thug said handling Dorathy phone to Liam

"Whose number...?"Dorathy asked anxiously struggling to be free from the ropes...."Liam.."She shouted..

Face stoned to the core, Liam ignore her words and quickly dial Kess number.., he waited impatiently for him to pick as his mind flash back to his mother's body....

"Hey....."Kess stated from the other end when the call connected...

"Listen to me you slowpoke..."Liam scowled without softness in his voice...

"Who is this....?"Kess quickly ask.."Where is Dorathy....?"

Dorathy screamed as she realise it could be Kess, it could only be him..

"Dorathy..."Kess shouted...."What have you done to her...?"

Liam motioned at one of the men and quickly they gagged Dorathy mouth again...

"Who are you...?"Kess queried with worried voice..

"You better listen to me shithòle....."Liam retorted...."Because I'm not going to repeat myself.., this is a very important person talking to you and if you don't get to the address you'll receive after this call in 5mins..., I will send you pieces of your partner in a dustbin bag...., do you understand that you slowpoke..?"

"I swear if you...

Liam quickly end the call before Kess could finish, then he gave the phone to his man to text the address to him....







*****************
Adrenaline sucked the daylight out of Miranda's body as they ran out of the woods into an open space..., she stopped realising no one was following them...

"We need to keep moving..."Zach said....

"What about the rest..?"Miranda asked..."They need our help..."

"We can't help them.."He said..."Those men sacrifice their life so you could be safe and I promise the queen I'll get you home safely and that's what I'm going to do..."

Miranda breathe heavily..., she was about moving, but at the edge of her vision, she saw something, someone, the early sun rays shone on a metal flying vigorously towards Zach, she open her mouth to scream but she was a split second late..., the fierce bullet hit Zach from behind and blood pooped from his body...

"Zach..."She shouted trying to catch him as he began to fall to the ground...., she raise her head only to see Riot running towards her...

"Go..."Zach whisper in pains..."Save yourself..."

Her eyes move from Zach to Riot that was running towards her.., a tear rolled from her eye, her breathe fluctuating, she kissed Zach palm and took off into the woods, a bullet came for her but it didn't get to her.., with tears running uncontrollably down her cheeks, she increase her speed, running as fast as her legs can carry her..

"You damn fool.."Riot snarled stopping to face Zach who was struggling in pains....
"Idiot.."Riot added and shot Zach's head who died instantly..








******************
Breathing heavily, Kess took out his gun and dash out of the car..., he survey the area as he tiptoe towards the only building in the surrounding.., there was no sign of anyone so he walk faster and that was when he caught sight of Dorathy....

He quickly ran to her..., shocked raced through him when he saw the bomb attached to her body..

"Kess leave..."Dorathy pleaded with tears...."Please..."

Sweat tickle down Kess skin as he look into his side pocket and took a dagger out.., he look at the countdown in the bomb.., it was 28..., then he stare at the wires....

"Who did this to you..?"He asked looking for s wire to cut to diffuse the bomb..."

"It's Liam..."She mutter with wrecking heart...."It's chief Borgias son..., this is a trap Kess, it's you they want.., please leave..."

"I'm not leaving here without you...."He groaned.."Which wire should I cut...?"

Tears rolled down her cheek as her heart beat like it wants to explode..

"Which wire....?"Kess growled...

"I don't know..."She cried out as she slowly fade away.., the menacing horror holding her captive...

"Red..."Kess said gently placing the knife on the red wire...., he look up to see her face and she nodded in fear....

Carefully, Kess cut the red wire.., the countdown stopped..., Kess heart beat with joy and just when he was about undoing the bomb from her body, the countdown started again.., this time with triple speed.

Dorathy widened her eyes as death stare at her in the face .....right there she knew it was over......

"Run..."She shouted.....

The shock paralysed Kess to the spot, when she screamed again, he jolted back to reality... he gazed at the countdown, it was 15 and within a second it got to 7..., and that was when he regretfully departed from her and jump before the bomb stopped counting....then it exploded.......

Kess head spin for few minutes as he try to stand up..., dust crumbled on his body.., his head dazed before he recall what just happen...., he staggered into the smoke and that was where he saw dispatched pieces of her body scattered everywhere...., his whole body shook with the sight, and quickly he collaspe to the ground.., he stare gormlessly at parts of her body, then the blood mix with the dust on the floor....then it hit him.., the painful reality of it....Dorathy is dead.. dead in the most painful way possible....

A tear fell from his eyes as he try to pick up the burnt part of her detached hand.., he remenber their little moment together and more tears run from his eyes and that was when he screamed her name and cried out into the floor, allowing his tears to soak the ground...

"Dorathy...."He wept bitterly

They hid, quaking and sweating with fear.., adrenaline sucking the very breathe from them..., Lawrence breathe heavily as he check for bullets....

"You got any left..?"Miranda asked, her breathe filtering into her hand...

Lawrence bit his lip hard, the pain seared through him but he didn't give a damn, he can still hear gunshots sounding from far making him quickly realised they were still much, and they were still coming for them.....
He shook his head in disappointment....

Miranda swallowed bitterly as it occured to her it was over, as this stage, she was between life and death...

Lawrence swallowed forcefully as he lean his back on the tree, adrenaline activating his sympathetic raging system, making his heart beat faster, diverting blood to his muscles and away from his gut......

When they heard footsteps, Miranda widened her eyes letting in every ounce of the darkness..., her muscles are frozen in place but filled with such a tingling pressure she want to run until her body is empty – put as much distance between herself and the men after them as possible.....

"Shhh...."Lawrence shush her placing a finger across his lip...

Her heart is pounding in her chest but she try to ignore it and slow her breathing. The only reason she's not dead right now is because it hasn't found her yet. She silently grip the leaves on the ground, trying to calm herself, if it hears her panting... it's all over...

The footsteps came closer and closer, her hands tremble on the ground as her heart raced with tremendous speed..

Lawrence waited, counted the footsteps as they approach, from the movement, he realise it wasn't just one but two..., he drop the gun and clenched his fist.., his plan was simple, knock them off, take their guns and shoot them...

Miranda's body feels hot and sweat starts trickling down her neck. She grip it tightly and twist it. With every footstep she hears, she get more and more terrified...., Just as she begin to feel the sweat that she is covered in, she felt something cold wrap around her ankle. A hand, a cold hand with a rough palm....

She quickly scream as the hand made way to her mouth stifling every scream from her mouth.., Lawrence was about running to her side when a thug dive at him and they land on the ground and rolled over....










********************
05:00AM






The fear thoughts loom around Claudes head..., she was deeply worried something could have happened to them.., it's been 3hours and there was still no news from them.....
Her hands tremble at her side, breathe ragged and harsh.., with her legs shaking she realise she might trip, so she sat down.., the paralyzing fear spread through her body like icy, liquid metal, she clenched her fists as she hesitantly took each breathe...

When the door burst open, she quickly stood up to face the door....
"Oh thank God..."She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Zach .....

Her eyes look ahead to see if there is any other person, when she saw none, she drew closer to him...."Where are the rest...?"

Zach's expression sent her shivering and she quickly took a step back..."Tell me Zach, where are the rest, where is Miranda..?."

"He played us..."Zach said..."The Godfather, he played us..."

"Damn it Zach.."Claude yelled..."Where is Miranda...?"

"I don't know...."Zach mutter softly...."I searched for her after the shootout, I didn't see her..."

Claude heart sanked and staggered backward almost falling but Zach hold her and stopped her from falling to the ground...

"Your majesty..."...he mutter helping her to a chair...

She breathe heavily as her mind was starting to fail, like an engine that turns over and over, never kicking into action. She couldn't formulate a thought.......

"Your majesty...."

She jolted out from her horror as they both shift their gaze to the person running towards them....

"Someone dropped this at the gate...."

Zach took the paper from him and quickly unfold it.....

"What does it says..?"Claude asked anxiously with pants breathe...

"He has Miranda...."Zach riposte bitterly..

Claude quickly snatch the paper from him...., her eyes enlarged with shock as she shudder at the words in the paper...."He wants the prince..., where is he..?"She queried as she raise her head to him

Zach gulp a dry lump in his throat and took a step backward....

"Is he dead..?"Claude asked trying hard not to believe it...

Zach flex his fingers as his brow furrowed...."I don't know..."

Claude flare her nose and drop the paper on the table...."I'm going to get Miranda..."

"Your majesty, you cannot go there, I'll go..."

"Miranda is my cousin.."Claude retorted..."She's the only family I got left, I'm not leaving her there.."

"You're not..., I'm going to get her, we have some men left.."

"How many...?"

"I don't know, but enough to bring Miranda back...."

"I'm going there myself..."

"Your majesty please, think about the throne, think about your children, if something happens to you, everything we've worked for will be in vain..."

"Do you promise to bring her back...?"

"I promise.."He said..."I'll bring Miranda back..."







*****************
05:46AM




The egg yolk bulb light poured through the cracks in the bedsheet and awaited entrance into Dorathy's eyes. Sight still in the clutches of the night's glue, she hesitantly rubbed the dreams away. Thoughts of the visions in sleep come and go in waves, clinging on to the very last memory of the night but with little success....., she blink and attempted to roll in her stomach then she noticed where she was doesn't look like her room..., she quickly sat up and saw Kess sleeping on the floor with a blanket covering part of his body..., she quickly checked herself, she was still in her police uniform, totally untouched..

She tried to remenber but nothing useful came into light.., she actually slept here in his room...., embarrassment waved across her face as she could tell she must have did something stupid, something she can't even remember.....

She took a deep breathe and quietly crawl out of the bed, she has decided to leave before he wakes up, she wonder how she'll face the embarrassment when he wakes to sit her lying peacefully on his bed while him on the floor..., the events of last night that led to her sleeping over was something he didn't want him telling her.., she might die if it's something bad..., what if she went for him.., many times she finds it difficult to keep her hands to herself when she finds a man she fancy, that was her problem, problem she's been trying so hard to contain for the past few years...

With her phone in her hand, she walk over him and head for the door and that was when his voice stopped her..

"Sneaking out...?"

She swallowed forcefully, embarrassment almost crushing her where she stood.., she drag in a weird smile and turn to face him..., he was already up and reclining his back on the bed...

"No.."She mutter awkwardly, she knew how she sounded, like who is she even trying to deceive, he will certainly see through her lies..."Not really.."

He suck on his teeth..."You were going to leave your gun..."He said taking the gun from the drawer...

She scratched her hair for her mistake..., embarrassed enough, she step away from the door...."Mm...."She drool wondering how to let the words out..."Did anything happened last night...?"

Kess gave her a lopsided grin and drop the drawer on the bed...."Where you expecting something to happen..?"

She swallowed, totally bashed by his choice of words....."No.."She mutter shabbily...., her lips quivered with unsaid words as she think carefully on her next words.., she already embarrassed herself.., she won't do it again...

"Nothing happened..."Kess added, though a sly smile came with his words..

She read meaning to the smile, it disappeared quickly from his face but she knows it meant something, something she'll be ashamed of for the rest of her life....

"Maybe you should learn on how not to get drunk next time..."Kess said calmly

She swallowed, though his voice was calm but the sarcasm in it totally gave him out, every part of it screams 'Girl you're so cheap'

She manage with a smile, it was regrets and lots of it inside, how could she be so stupid.., she should have listened to herself the previous day when she receive multiple signals from herself not to go to his house...., she must have totally made a fool of herself....and she was doing it again....

"I'm sorry.."She mutter softly wondering if he even heard..., he was too calm, too gentle, any guy would have yelled at her for her mis-behaviour the previous night but he was too calm, like he was pleased he saw all of her.., saw everything she got and buckle her up again....what if he really did...

"You have nothing to apologise for.."Kess said back, the corners of his face looming with an adorable smile...

Berseck hit hard at her stomach and once again she try to revisit the events of the previous night, anything meaningful, anything sensual..,anything involving their lips closed on each other's mouth, their naķed bodies touching and their hands smoothing each other.......

"I don't usually get drunk..."She said realising she was trying to explain herself.., exactly, that's what the guilt do to you, wanting to make amends for what you aren't even sure you did....

"Last night must have been special..."Kess returned keeping his half smile..

She bit hard at her lip, searing the pains in.., she deserve it for been so stupid, for getting drunk in front of him, what exactly was she thinking..

"It wasn't.."She said back, she notice there was no coolness in her voice.., like her guilt was slowly working on her anger...

Kess nodded, pick up the gun again and stretch out his hand...."Your gun.."

She hesitated a bit, even with her state, she still wanted to know if he was angry..., if what she did had really offended him...

"Thank you.."She manage with a smile as she reach for his hand to take the gun....

Kess alarm beep and quickly he put it off...."It's 6 in the morning..., I can call for breakfast..."

He must really be a gentleman, offering her breakfast when her insides suffers with the guilt of unknowingly doing something with him, something he enjoyed but wouldn't tell...

"I'll pass..."She replied, her body turning to the door but her eyes still fused on him....

"Are you sure...?"

"Thank you Kess but I think I should leave...."

Kess shrugged, when he stood to his feet, her eyes wander to his waist then to his groin to be certain if he was having his morning glory...., she quickly turn away when she realise it was stupid of her.....

"Will you be coming to the station...?"She asked trying to avert her eyes from his bare chest..., his dick area...

"I'm suspended..."He returned tilting his head forward...

"If you don't talk to the DPO, you might remain suspended..."

He nibbed his lips..."That's fine with me.."

"Fine with you..., Kess it's not fine, you love this job..."

"I do.., but I'm not going to beg him to fulfil my duties..."

Dorathy exhale, she should go, arguing with him will just prolong her stay, her guilt, her needs...."Okay, if that's what you want, it's fine..."

"I still don't trust the DPO.."Kess said swinging his shirt on....

"I don't either... , but there's nothing we can do about it until we find evidence..."

"Certainly...., which is why we are going to the chief's house today.., you remembered right, I mentioned it to you last night before you got...

"Yeah I remember.."She cut in stopping him from saying the last word..."Chief Miguel..."

"You'll be there right...?"

"Yes I will.."

"Thank you.."

She nod..."Later officer..., and thanks for the bed..."

"I hope you enjoyed it.."He replied jokingly..

She didn't catch it, so she left leaving him a smile....








*****************
Miranda breathe heavily, breathe harsh and ragged as the blindfold was lifted from her face.., she coughed before she caught sight of the two men that was with her..., her hands were tied to a chair rendering her useless, woefully vulnerable and deprived of her strength......

"Why don't you just kill me..."She sneer, death too difficult to call upon....

She cough again and her hair fell loose on her face, then she raised her head, the single move fit her hair on her back and around her shoulders...
The thoughts of Lawrence creep into her head and she wonder if he was alive or dead, she remember seeing him rolling on the ground and more of their pursuers reaching for him..., he's probably dead and she fears her time has come too...

She stare into the open space trying to figure out where she is.., she certainly was in the middle of nowhere and there was no sign of the Godfather, just the two men that has been keeping watch over her.., she dropped her head and slowly raise them again when she heard footsteps.., she shudder at the sight of the person, she remembered him well, too well to forget such a face...., it was the same face of the man who had shot Harry..., but how is he alive.., she allowed her mind brood over what happened in the bush, another group of people opened fired and she took off with Lawrence........

She glared at him as the moment he shot Harry in the head hit her head hard.....

"You..."Miranda growled..."You're alive..."

"Surprise to see me...?"Riot retorted as he draw nearer to her....

Just as Miranda had expected, Riot grabbed her jaw and press the corners of her mouth with his broad fingers and raise her head to face him...

Miranda glare at the scars in his face, his bad breathe.....

"Where is the prince...?"Riot snarled

Shock swept across Miranda face but she didn't show it, if they're asking for the prince it means he's alive, that gave her some relief, some strength to fight back....

With his hands pressing against her jaw, she manage to utter some words..."Go to hell...."

He grew furious, when he let go of her mouth, he slammed his fist across her face....

Stars sparked in Miranda's vision as his mighty violent fist land on the smooth flesh of her face...., pain erupted from the point of contact and blood pooped heavily from her mouth.....

He grabbed her mouth again, this time more rough and violent than the first...."Where is the prince...?"

STILL ON DAY 3






02:00AM







Great fear held Lawrence as they got to their destination, he alighted from the car, the only visible light was the night moon in the sky that was spreading it's light around.... , he wasn't thinking about the cold, his mind was preoccupied with the horror that will unfold in few minutes...

"Where are they...?"He ask Capisho who took out ropes from the car boot......

Lawrence eyes met the ropes and once again his head brood over the warnings that were sent to him..., all his life he has never imagined a day where he'll be putting his life at risk will come.., when he was younger , his mother has always told him life was all about risk but never has he thought the risk will come this way...this is suicide..

"You don't need to think about them now..."Capisho replied and quickly took out a chair from the boot...

Lawrence heave a sigh, more of regret than the terror that looms before him.., he look around again, there were bushes distance away from where he's standing, there's a house not too far from him too and he guess that must be where Miranda and the queen are hiding..., but it seems foolish to him, if the Godfather attacks, that is definitely going to be the first place they attack.....

"Sit..."Capisho baritone voice chime into his thoughts...

He jolted out from his dilemma and look at the chair Capisho had dropped beside him....

"So what exactly is the plan....?"Lawrence ask anxiously, it was like he knows nothing at all.., he blames himself for not asking enough question before agreeing to this suicide operation, and now it seems to him it was too late to retreat, whoever is after him could be watching, even now could be looking at him, aiming his gun and ready to put a bullet hole in his chest...

"The plan is for you to sit here...."Capisho chided..

Lawrence didn't like his tone, he sounded like he knew something is definitely going to go wrong, like he's surely aware a bullet will come for him while sitting and waiting for God knows who to show up....

"I need to be fully aware of what is coming for me.."Lawrence retorted...., he knows he sounds weird and totally unserious but he couldn't help it, if a bullet doesn't kill him, the fear inside him and the darkness of the night will certainly rid him off the surface of the earth....

"You have your gun..?"Capisho ask..

Lawrence drew his lip between his teeth, he hated this, asking a question and getting replied with a question..., his friend, Malcolm does it alot and it annoys him....

"Yeah I have my gun.."He riposte, his face frowned to the peak and he fears his once smiling face might never return, that is if he survives the horrors of this insane operation...., so many things are going on in his mind, so many unanswered questions, questions he feel like voicing out but no one has been given him ears.....

Capisho glance at the time and Lawrence quickly realise, it was the appointed time, the hour for the operation to begin..

"What about your dagger...?"Capisho ask

Lawrence suck on his teeth, with the cold washing over his skin, he took out the dagger, flipped it and hold it in the air for him to see it...

Capisho tilt his head..."It's time.."

Lawrence swallowed forcefully, unknown forces trampled on his heart making them beat with irregular speeds and for once in his life, he fear he might crashed even before the real nightmare begins....

"You don't have to worry.."Capisho said..."We'll be watching you.."

Lawrence nearly laugh at the words, such encouraging words in a primal torture....

"Is that suppose to make me feel better...?"

"Don't breathe on me prince, you signed up for this..."

He's right, he signed for it, now why the hell is he complaining, why is he getting scared, when he agreed to be a bait he didn't think about the consequences, why think about it now, why let it ruin the last form of boldness he had....

He rub slightly at his nostril before sitting on the chair, relaxing his back on the metal chair..

"Trust me..."Capisho said as he began to tie him up..."You'll be safe..."

Lawrence swallowed as the rope tightened his body to the chair..."Stop talking.."

"Just remember what I told you.."Capisho said standing erect after he tied him to the chair..."Cut the ropes when the shootout starts...."

"Why tie me though.."Lawrence said...."It's dark, not like anyone will see the ropes...."

"It need to be convincing..."Capisho replies before entering the car, he turn around and drove few metres away from Lawrence...

Lawrence try to rid himself of the ropes but he couldn't..., he bit his lips before placing the edge of the dagger on the thickness of the rope..., whatever happens, he's not taking any chances.....








*******************
Miranda walk towards the broken window for the fifth time and look outside..., the perimeter was still quiet, nothing and noone was moving yet...

"It's 2:32AM already...."Zach said...."And neither him or any of his men are here.."

Miranda grit wondering what the Godfather is planning, she quickly took the walkie talking to her mouth, tune in the channel and spoke into it...."Capisho what's your position...?"

"Nothing yet...."Capisho voice sounded distortively

"Have you seen any sight of anyone moving...?"Miranda ask

"No...."

Her brows furrowed and furiously, she tune into another signal......"Zulo what's your position...?"

"No sign of him yet..."Zulo said

Miranda shift her gaze to Zach before speaking...."Keep your eyes open, I think he's planning something..., tell the others and keep eyes on the prince..."

"What do you think he's planning...?"Zach ask anxiously when she dropped the walkie to her side...

She chank her teeth together and look out from the window again...."I don't know but my instincts tells me something is going to happen..."

"I can take you home lady Mira...

"No.."She cut in brusquely..."I wanted to be here..., and I'm here now.."

"We don't even know if he'll come.."

"Whoever comes will suffer the consequences..."She retorted, voice clipped with spite...."Don't worry about me Zach, I can shoot as well..."

Zach smile slipped..."It's not about that..."

"Whatever it is, I don't want to hear it...."She returned and just when she was about looking out from the window, the walkie light beep before Zulo voice came up...

"We see someone...."

Shocked, Mira raise her gaze to Zach before talking back to Zulo...
"Who do you see....?"She asked anxiously

"Someone who's not wearing our uniform..., he's heading towards the prince.., I need permission to shoot..."

"Wait..."Miranda said sharply..."How many people do you see...?"

"Just one..."

"Is he carrying a gun...?"

"No, he's carrying nothing, he's raising his hands...., do I shoot...?"

"You think he's surrendering...?"Miranda ask curiously

"It seems he wants to talk..."

Miranda glance at Zach before replying Zulo...."Get him before he gets to the prince..."







******************
Heart throbbing hard, Lawrence cut the rope lose as the man drew closer to him, without time wasting, his hand reach for the pistol that was given to him by Capisho, on his sited position, he waited for the man to come closer, he was about standing up to shoot when five men came out from nowhere and pointed their guns at the man who was approaching him...

"I come in peace...."The man shouted going to his kneels...

"Who are you...?"One of the men asked..

"I was sent by the Godfather, I have a message for the queen...."

"What kind of message...?"One of the men asked...

"I was asked to only say it to the queen....."The man said terrified...

The men glance at each other, then they grabbed the man and dragged him away...

Lawrence sigh, more of relief that the menacing aura that just unfold before him..., he watch as the men drag the man into a dark corner, and then to the building he has seen earlier..., he wanted to follow them but then he realise other people were watching him, so he sat, the rope lose and the gun in his hand






*****************
Miranda glare at the man as he was pushed to the floor before her...

"He said he has a message for the queen..."One of the men said....

"What message...?"

I was told to tell only the queen.."The man said

"I'm the queen dummy...."Miranda retorted...."So whatever it is, you better start talking..."

The man look around suspiciously before his gaze finally fell on Miranda again...."He told me to tell you.......

"Tell me what...?"Miranda blare out..."Where is that son of a bitch...?"

"He ask me to tell you..."The man pause, look around again before spurting the words out..."A beautiful death day...."

"What...?"Miranda groaned

She grew furious when the man burst into laughter and that was when they saw a red light showing from his white shirt.., Zach quickly rushed at the man and raise the shirt up.....

What they saw sent them shivering before Zach shouted....."It's a bomb..."

Zach quickly grab Miranda and together they jump out the window before the bomb exploded .........

What followed was gunshots, they came without stop. The tin projectiles cutting through the frozen air, oblivious to their purpose. Each one rips into something, be it inanimate or living, spilling blood and lots of it...

Senses sharpened with adrenaline, Zach held his breath, straining to hear with every ounce of his concentration as he lifted Miranda and began to run with her through thick smokes from the explosion and bullets flying everywhere...., bullets jingle as they ran for cover....

"What just happened..?"Miranda asked with aching heart...

"He distracted us with the bomb..."Zach said..."He has been here all along..."

"Go, help our men..."

"I can't leave you here..."

"I'll be fine..."

"I cannot leave you here.."

"Our people are dying..."She riposte...."They need help, go Zach, that's a command..."

"You know the route to the safe path...?"

She nodded..

"I'll meet you there..."He said getting up from hiding

She quickly hold his trouser..."Zach..., don't die..."

"I won't...."He said and ran off...

Miranda breathe heavily as she crunched behind an abandoned tank.....
Bullets flies around with extreme precision, toring effortlessly through the soft human tissue, allowing the arteries to split. It coated the floor in a slick, thick liquid. Blood....., Miranda checked herself to see if she has any weapon.., when she saw nothing, she decided to head for the safe route and wait for the rest of the men... if they survive..., she remember the prince, he could be dead, there was certainly no time to check..., she quickly stood up and ran towards the safe route keeping distance between her and the sounds of bullets.....

Adrenaline flood her system as she ran towards the wood..., after much distance from the shootouts, she decided to take a rest and that was when she heard footsteps, she raise her face and quickly took it away when a torchlight shone on her face....

"Hello there....."A man said to her....

Miranda's heart raced with tremendous speed as another man came up from behind her....

"You thought here was safe..."One of the man taunts....

Miranda stare at them, calculated their moves and she weigh the pros and cons of what will happen if she speedily snatch a gun from one of them....
Before she could think of doing anything stupid, one of them held a gun to her head....

"Move it bitch..."The one holding the gun to her head said.....

Miranda swallowed forcefully but she didn't take a step...

"Now..."The man sneer...

Miranda look at the other man, when he dropped the torchlight, she seize the opportunity and quickly, she spun around and hit the gun from the man's hand and was about running when the man grabbed her hair and drag her back...

Miranda shouted as the man furiously drag her back with her hair before he shoved her to the floor...

"Bitch...."The man growled and hold her throat and stood her up...

Miranda's eyes sparked with anger, if she's going to die, she certainly going to give them a tough time and with that thought, she kick his groin.....

The man groan and quickly reach for his penis...

When the other man came for her, she was fully ready but her morale was shortened when a bullet came for the other man before he could touch her.....

She didn't care to know who the shooter is, her gaze fell on the man she kick, he was trying to get up when he realise his colleague was dead, without time wasting, she went for him before he could regain his posture and march his head violently.., the man staggered and she quickly reach for the man's gun and shot multiple bullets into him before she turn around to point the gun at the intruder.....

Their eyes sparked with rage as they glare at each other, their guns firmly pointing at each other.....

"Nobody came for me...."Lawrence chided..

"You knew what you were getting into when you agreed to be the bait...."

"You all left me to die..."Lawrence growled

"We all are trying to survive here..., it's not about you..."

Lawrence curl his lips and move close to her....
"Down..."Lawrence shouted..., when she did, he fired at the men that were coming from behind her..., she did same, crunched beside him and fire at the men that were running from behind him...

The gunshots rent the cold air - too powerful not achieve it's aim...., bodies drop as the noise reverberated in their ears and rang out far over the town....., little did they know that this was just the beginning......

DAY 3





Stars filled the sky like pale corn into freshly turned ground. It was the promise of life in the darkness, a sense of warmth springing from the cold. It was a vastness to bring humbleness and an eternal space to bring gratitude for the coziness of home. No matter the years that passed, Tamara saw each night sky as a fresh gift given anew. It was the moment anyone that knew her would see her eyes smile and her breathing deepen just a little....

Twenty years ago, she was just a girl staring at her the sky with her father, her father will sit her and the other children down and tell them beautiful stories.., she remembered one story in particular, why the tortoise is a more clever than most animals..
The memory chase a smile to her face, she reveled in those memories.., those beautiful moments...., but then she was just a kid.., a kid who doesn't and hasn't experienced the perils of the earth.., the beautiful stories her father had told her and the other children made them thinking the world was a beautiful fantasy, where all was roses and sweets.....

But here she is, twenty years later facing the gigantic troubles of the world.., been a maid is one thing, but been a maid in a palace where people disappear without any information about their whereabouts is a whole new level, one she's more than inclined to indulge on....

It's already a day since the disappearance of Joshua, yet there's still no info of his whereabouts, the palace heads has been acting like they don't care when in reality...they don't really care...

She drew her lip between her teeth as she glance up at the sky again, wishing in her heart, the stars give her a clue on Joshua's whereabouts....

"How long are you going to be here...?"

She quickly turn to face the direction of the voice.., the intruder, her peace disruptor ....."I'm about leaving..."She murmur wondering herself if he heard her words....

"It's past twelve already...."The guard said to her

She lick slightly at her lip as cold brush across her tender skin..., she loved it, ever since she was a child, her father has always taking her outside to sit, even with the cold, she sits with him as he tells his beautiful stories..., she guess some habits never change...

"Goodnight...."She mutter giving him a lopsided grin and quickly took a step to walk away...., but then she remembered Joshua and she's been hoping on asking someone and an opportunity was presenting itself...

"Have you seen Joshua..?"She asked turning to look at him...

When he raise his shoulders with his mouth leaning forward, she realise it'll just be the same answer...

"You asked me this afternoon..."The guard said

"Oh..."She murmured to herself before her head brood over the conversation she had with him in the afternoon....."I'm sorry..."

"It's okay.."The guard said..."We're all worried about him..."

"The head guard.."She said crisply hoping to get a favourable answer from him..."What is he doing about it...?"

"Nothing..."The guard replied..."He's angry he hasn't been displaying his head guard duties ever since the queen brought in her own people..."

She frown at the words..., the queens own people were the words used in referring to the AS squad...and she wonder why the head guard will be angry at that.., she has always knew the head guard was the sort of person who loves domination..., commanding and giving orders, but to stoop so low to consent to this level was a total no from her, for God sake, is she the only one who's really worried about Joshua's whereabouts, this is a matter of life and death....or it could be...

"We need to tell the queen..."She said changing her standing position..., she has always been of the decision of telling the queen but the more she decide on taking action, the more she get scared and get dragged back to her thoughts...., the queen is always angry whenever she set to open her mouth to speak about Joshua's disappearance..., she thought her angry mood could be because the king recently died but deep down, her skin itches it could be more than that...

"We're planning on it tomorrow...."The guard said

"He's missing..."Tamara said.."I can feel it.., you know I asked the guards at the gate and no one,no single person saw him leaving the palace..., isn't that suspicious...?"

"It is but we can't start pointing fingers now, it's too early for that..."

"Well sooner or later we're going to start pointing fingers..."She returned folding her hands...

"At who...?"He shrugged

"At anyone who knows something about his disappearance.."

"How do we even know who knows something and who doesn't..."

She sigh relaxing her palm on her forehead....

"Just go and relax now Tamara.., I believe tomorrow we'll hear more about this..."

"And if we don't.."

"Then we'll have no option but to tell the queen...."

"You know who poisoned the king hasn't been found yet..."

The guard look around, when he saw Noone, he lean closer to her..."Never say anything about the late king again, we are forbidden to talk about that..."

"I know, but the way I see it, dangerous things are beginning to happen in this palace and I am scared if you're not..."

"If you're scared why don't you quit...?"

Her brows furrow and she withdrew her head back...."Like you don't know we aren't allowed to leave the palace until the king's killer is found..."

"You need to get your mind off this Tamara..."

"Get my mind...."She riposte and quickly quiet down when she saw a guard walking with an eye stealing glances from them.....
When he finally walked past, she continue..."I cannot get my mind off this, something must have happened to him and if someone don't speak out now, who knows who'll be the next to disappear....?"

"Please Tamara, go to bed.."

"Okay..."She chided with her right palm on the air..."Fine I'll leave.."

"Fine.."He said back..

She heave a deep breathe..."Goodnight..."She manage to say over her shoulder before scurrying over to the walkway to her room..

Her mind flash over to the moment when she walk with Joshua on this same walkway, she remember his jokes, how she laughs and giggled at them.....

Threading on the walkway carefully, making sure she was making no noise with her footsteps, she thread on.., the princess certainly doesn't like to be disturbed by anything when she's sleeping and this has made whoever was walking on the walkway to raise her legs because defaulting comes with mortifying consequences, one she vow never to indulge in by accident or self volunteer....

She trot on, almost getting to the princess room, she usually walk faster than normal whenever she draws closer to the princess room but this night she was slow, like her legs were refusing to move because her head was preoccupied with the thoughts of Joshua and was refusing to send signal to her legs to remind them of the usual habit....

She stood when she saw a bulb beeping..., she quickly realise it was faulty and it's too late in the night to talk to the technicians to have a look at it..., so she ignored and move on and that was when she saw the princess door opening.., at first she thought what the princess could be coming out to do so late at night, seems it was very unlike her to come out from her room to do anything by herself without calling and barking on a maid....

Her eyes enlarged with shock when she notice it wasn't the princess who was coming out from the room but someone else, a guard, a guard she recognised very well....AARON

She quickly lean her back on the wall.., and that was when she saw a glimpse of the princess and they kissed...., she swallowed dryly as shock almost paralyzed her where she stood , she waited till Aaron takes the other walkway without sighting her.....

When the princess door closed, she came into sight, shock still etched in her face........








*******************
Lawrence exhale, his heart beating irregularly as the clock clicks, an hour from now, he will be put in harm's way..., he wonder the kind of silly plan they came up with, how could they possibly ask him to be in an open space when infact he's the target, when he accepted to be the bait, this wasn't the plan he thought would back it up.....

A light knock came on the door jolting him from everything that was going on in his mind....., he waited for the knock to come again but It didn't ..., he drew closer, his heart hammering against his chest...

"Who's there...?"He asked drawing close to the door...

He pull out the gun that was given to him by Capisho, Capisho words resounding in his head....'For your protection'..., he walked closer, his fingers almost reaching for the doorknob and that was when a paper slipped in from under the door....

He open the door to check but he saw Noone, he close the door and pick up the paper...., he unfold it and his spines ignite with fright when he saw the content...., another warning telling him he's in danger in the palace....

When another knock came, he squeezed the paper and dump it in his right pocket before opening his mouth to say..."Open..."

The door crank and Capisho came into sight...

Lawrence eyes glazed at his dressing...., he was on black overall and a dark head Warner in his head...

"Its time..."Capisho said to him....

Lawrence gulp a dry lump in his throat..., his head brood over the message he was sent...., what if Queen Claude and Miranda were the bad people, what if the whole plan is to kill him...exactly, that is the plan...., he's certainly walking into a suicide....

"Give me a minute please..."He said to Capisho who nodded and left him






******************
Caleb staggered deeply intoxicated by the too much alcohol he had taken....
"Celebrate boys..."He shouted to the thugs who were sitting in a company of girls...."Today is a happy day....."

"Comeon baby..."A girl chime in from behind Caleb..., she pout and stood in front of him with just her panties on.., her breast dangling naķed...

Caleb smile, the bottle slipped from his hand and broke the moment it landed on the floor, but he didn't care, didn't even notice..., after much stare at the girl's breast, he buried his head in her breast....

"Follow me you naughty boy, I want to take you to heaven..."She pout caressing his hair...

"Yes..."He drool on her breast..."Take me to heaven..."

She chuckle, grab his hand and began to walk to the room but caleb stopped when he laid eyes on another girl...

Caleb manage to stand as he look at the girl...."You.."He pointed at her..."Follow me.."

"Boss...."One of the thugs chime in stepping forward..., he slowly wrapped his hand on the girl's shoulder...."She's my girl..."

The words sent Caleb spines racing with anger....
"I want to fùck her..."He retorted

"She's my girl boss, only I is permitted to fùck her...."

Frown lines encroached on Caleb's forehead and he quickly pull out his gun and point it at the thug's stomach...."I said, I want the girl, now give her to me or I blow your head off here and now..."

The girl shivered and clung tightly to her man but Caleb certainly wasn't a man of patience, he forcefully drag her to her side...

"Boss..."The thug growled almost rushing at him but the other thugs hold him back...

Caleb smile and tighten his grip on the girl, then he dragged her to himself and lick her face despite the girl's resistance....

The thug boiled with anger as he watch Caleb force his mouth into his girl mouth....

Caleb let her go, glare at the thug before opening his mouth to talk...."Take her to my room..."He said and two thugs quickly grab the girl and drag her away...

Caleb walk closer to the thug who was still boiling with rage and touch the thug dick with the gun...."Let this be the last time you'll ever challenge me, the next time, your girlfriend will be packing your balls after I blow them off.., do you understand that you ingrate......?"

The thug glare at him but didn't reply...

Without further words, Caleb staggered as the first girl hold him and took him to the room







*********************
"Mr Hunter..."Queen Tiger said the moment the receiver answered the call...

"Your Majesty..."The receiver replied...

Tiger look into the mirror to see her reflection, and that was when she picture the entire kingdom burning and she and her children were standing above the smokes.....

"I just want to remind you that we'll be expecting the package..."She said walking from the mirror..

"Of course, a deal is a deal...."

"I'll be waiting Mr Hunter..."

"I'm already at the airport..."The receiver said..

"Safe landing........"

"See you soon..."The receiver said...

She ended the call, pull off her slippers and lay her head on the pillow before dialing another number...., it wasn't long before the call connected..

"Do you have the coordinates...?"She asked..

"Yes.."The receiver said...

"Good..., I'll be waiting..."She said....

"How do you want it....?"The receiver asked..."Cold or hot..?"

"A little crazy..."Queen Tiger said..."I want Saruza to remember this day, I want them to know, that no one, absolutely no one can mess with the royal family.."

STILL ON DAY 2






The fear sits on Lawrence like a pillow over his mouth and nose. Enough air gets by it, allowing his body to keep functioning, but it's crippling all the same......, he heaved a deep sigh of anxiety and quickly stood up from the bed..., he pace about and head towards the end of the bed..., his head beating with contradictory thoughts....

He inhale, comb his hair with his hand and trot towards the bed again...., but quickly fused his eyes on the door when he heard a knock.....

"Come in..."He said after a slight hesitation....

He quickly got rid of any fear in his face when he saw Miranda..., a smile that quickly disappeared creep on his face as he walk towards her...

"Having second thought...?"Miranda asked...

"No..."He replied shapily....

"Good..."

He bit his lip and walk closer to her...."Can I ask a question....?"

She raise a brow to him and fold her hands...."As long as it doesn't involve the identity of the Godfather...you can ask.."

He suck on his teeth and replay the question in his head before opening his mouth..."Was the hunter your father..?"

She gulp and took a few steps away from him....."No..."

"Then who was he..?"

"He was like a father to me..., you see I lost my father at an early age..., the queen's father took care of me.., when he died.., I seek solace in the hands of the hunter..., he pampered me, and for a while I actually thought I had a father again..., but that bastard took him away, the Godfather always find a way to snatch away my happiness..."

His forehead creased..."And Harry..?"

"He was my friend who the Godfather took away too....."She retorted with furrowed brows.."You see why I want the bastard dead..., he has ruined me many times than I can count.., no more..., so if you're having second thoughts you better start ...

"I'm not having second thoughts..."He cut in...."I'm just....

"Just what..?"

He stuck his nose in the air...."Nothing.."

"No it's something.., you're just what...?"

"I'm scared..."He blare out..."I mean why 2AM midnight..., we can set up..

"We'll have more advantage in the night..."

"What are you not telling me...?"

"What are you not understanding..?"She fling back..

Lawrence stare at her but didn't say any word...

"Come out now..."She said turning to walk away..."It's time to start planning for tonight.."She added over her shoulder before walking out of the room






******************
The ice falls against the glass, Dorathy fingers slide on the condensation before her fingers regain their grip. She feel the chill run down her throat and her head makes an involuntary shake......

"God knows it's been long I had such a cold water..."

Kess laugh and crunched down to sit beside her.., their bodies reclining on the bed frame...

"You know.."Dorathy said pushing the bottle of beer aside..."When I decided to join the force, I never knew it will be this hectic..."

"You get what you sign up for..."Kess said jokingly..

Dorathy laughed before raising the glass to her mouth to gulp down a bit of the drink...
"So what are we going to do when Chief Miguel doesn't talk..."Dorathy asked

Kess nibbed and drank a little of his bottle of beer...."To be sincere.., I don't know..."

"The chiefs are driving us crazy.."Said Dorathy before they laughed...

"Our top priority now is knowing who's bringing in these drugs..."

"Who do you have in mind..?"Dorathy asked

Kess suck on his teeth..."The chiefs.."

"What chief in particular...?"

"Borgias.., Miguel or even the Godfather.."

"Mm, seems you have no particular suspect in mind..., but the Godfather is on top of the list..."

"You mean the man we don't know...."

"Have you ever thought about this..?"

"Thought about what..?"

"That the Godfather could just be a name.., what if the Godfather doesn't exist, it could be just a name someone created to instill fear in people..."

Kess press his lips together as Dorathy words sink deep into him...."Well if that's true, whoever did that achieve his aims.."

"He didn't only instil fear, he have us chasing a lie.."

Kess scoff...."Truth or not, we will find out soon enough.."

"You sound confident..."

"Yeah, it's the only thing keeping me sane right now..."

She sniffle and gulp down the remaining beer in the glass....

"Your partner....."Kess chimes in..."How did he die...?"

Dorathy took a deep drag..."He was shot., nine bullets in the head.."

"Nine.."Kess reiterated

"Yeah.., those guys are ruthless..., if you cross their path, they kill you..."

"Then why do you still get in their way..?"

She turn her face to look at him...."Like you said, I'm getting what i signed up for..."

Kess chuckle.....

"What about you, why are you so determined to bring them down despite knowing the death wishes that comes with it...."

Kess grimaced at the taste of the beer before speaking...."I'm just doing my job.."

"It's not the job.."She said..."You once told me chiefs like the ones here once ruined your life.., I wonder what really happened to you in Akpatu..?"

His nose flared as the thoughts of Sonia engulfed his head...."I guess I just like sending bad men to jail.."

Dorathy laugh..."Even you don't believe that.."

He poke his eyes at her and they both laugh...

Dorathy blinked, glanced at her watch as she try to stand, ..."I should get going"

Kess checked his own time..."Whoops...., I didn't even realise how far the time has gone..."

She grit, hold the bed for support and raise herself to stand..., her eyes dazed, when she took a step, she staggered ...

"Woh..., careful.."Kess said holding her before she stumble...

"I'm fine.."She stated, her mouth reeking of alcohol

"Oh..,ok.."Kess mutter letting go of her..

She walk forward off balanced...

"You had too much to drink Dorathy..."Kess said walking with her..

She chuckle..."Come on I'm not high..."

Kess nibbed..."I know, but I can't let you leave in this state.., I'll drive you home.."

"You don't need to..."She said gently reaching her hand for his face..."I'll be fine.."

"I insist Dorathy.."

She blink as the earth spin around her..., the moment she took another step.., she slip and fell into his arms....

Kess grunt and quickly carried her to the bed.....
"I'll get you some warm water..."He said to her...

"I don't need warm water..."She stated playfully hitting him on his arm..."I need you.."

Kess sigh.."Look Dorathy, you're not yourself, let me get you some warm water..."

"Uhhh.."She drool

Without a reply, Kess walk over to the intercom and place a call to the hotel reception







******************
A sour and vile taste slipped into Liam's mouth, nullifying him, stealing away reality in favour of fantasy. he came to lust after it like no other, the strong tonic becoming his only comfort in the time of sadness...

He drown his sorrows on the alcohol as his tears dried up in his face..., the painful thought of his mother pushing him into a state that he may likely not come out from...

"Boss Liam..."One of his thugs said to him..

Liam crank his finger on the chair before holding the bottle again to take another turn down of the hot drink....

"What..?"He groaned at the thug...

"We know where the inspector is now..."The thug said..

"Where is he...?"Liam asked, face stoned and ready for anything...been blood or savagely roasted...

"He's at Coastal hotel.., hes been staying there since he arrive.."

"Tell me what I don't already know..."

"This evening, our spies saw the female inspector going into the hotel..., she went to his room but she hasn't come out till now....., the boys are already there, they're waiting for your order..., should I call to tell them to kill the bastard...?"

Liam fist clenched and with flaring nose, he took another gulp down of the alcohol....."Leave it..., I'll handle that bastard in the morning..., I want him to suffer as I'm suffering now.., tell the boys to get the car ready.., because once it's dawn..., blood is going to be spilled all over this damn town..."







******************
Claude fingers slowly wrapped into a fist as she stare at the sketch of the Salisbury road....

"Some men will be here..."Claude said touching the area on the sketched map......."While others will be around this corner...., the rest of the boys will be with us...."

I have a feeling he might want to surprise us..."Zach said..."So instead of taking this men here.., let's station them on the bushes around us.."

"The bushes around are metres away.."Miranda chime in..."If there's a shootout, it'll take up to a minute before they arrive, we can't take that risk...."

"So what do you suggest we do...?"Capisho asked

"If he sees lot of our men, he will know something is going on.."

"He's the Godfather.."Zach cut in..."The idea alone will make him realise something will go on...."

"Exactly what I'm saying...."Miranda said..."We'll station our men where he wouldn't find them.., out of sight but close..."

"Hey..."Lawrence interjects walking into their midst..."Where am I in all this...?"

"You're the bait...."Claude said..."You'll be tied to a chair and place in the centre of the road where everyone can see you..."

Lawrence eyes lit up..."You don't understand, I'm the target, putting me in the middle of the road will make me an easy target and easy target means easy death..."

"That's exactly the point of this whole thing...., making you an easy target...."

"I don't understand, I thought you want the Godfather dead...., how will that be killing him..?."

"You wanted to be the bait.."Claude riposte..."This is what been the bait means...."

"Any bullet can easily come for me if I'm in the open, what kind of plan is this...?"

"Take...."Capisho said handling Lawrence a pocket knife.....

"What will I be doing with a knife...?"

"To cut yourself lose when the shootout begins...."

Lawrence shift his gaze from him to Claude..."Seriously..."

"Look prince, no one asked you to be the bait, you're either in this or out..."Claude said

Lawrence eyes moved from Claude to Miranda, then to Zach before landing on Capisho again..., with contemplating heart, he took the knife from him....

"And this..."Capisho added handling him a pistol....

Lawrence took it and made sure it was loaded...

"So this is it..."Miranda said...."No turning back.., the bastard dies tonight..."

STILL ON DAY 2





Lawrence stare at the men standing on guard on the walkway as he followed Zach to Wherever he was taking him to.., he took a careful observation of the composure of the guards and checked if they could easily been dismembered....

"Walk faster..."Zach sneer almost beside him..

Lawrence frown at the words and his head quickly brood over the note someone has sent to him.., the words went bold in his vision letting his spines run with cold chills.....

"This way.."Zach motioned when they got to a compartment..

Lawrence glare at Zach who didn't bother returning the look before he opened the compartment door....

"Go inside..."Zach said

Lawrence stare inside, at first he saw no one but when he looked closer, he saw her.., the reason behind his presence in the house....
Lawrence took a deep drag and entered the room.., his eyes gazed gormlessly at her behind since she was backing him and just then she turned her stunning face to him..

Lawrence heart jiggle with butterflies and his muscles crumbled at the beauty standing in front of him, now she wasn't the girl he had met in the forest, the angry girl whose father was killed and whose face was bombarded with a load of dust..., how come he never noticed how pretty she is...

"Thank you Zach.."Miranda said, her accent coated with a honey voice....."You may leave now..."

Zach nodded, stole a last angry glance from Lawrence before he left and shut the door behind him...

A swoon washing over Lawrence, he stylishly look at her, she was classically beautiful, with her dark cat eyes holding such an intelligence and serenity that it was impossible for him not to be held prisoner by them..., there was undeniable symmetry to her features and perhaps that's what held him so captivated.....

When she stepped towards the balcony, he jolted from his thoughts and drool on the fact that she's the reason he's here..held like a prisoner...

"So she finally shows her colours..."Lawrence sass refusing to take a step towards her..

Miranda quickly turn to face him.....

Lawrence swallowed at the sight of the lovely eyes, florid cheeks and flawless sculpted lips yet dangerous....
He raise his brows at her hoping to shoulder off the unexplainable feeling growing inside him....

"What did you say to me..?"She asked, voice totally in dispute with her beauty...

Her question hit a snag in his feeling..."Who the hell are you..?"He asked hoping to take control instead of been control by her gorgeous self....

She puckered at him, turn away and face him again...."So..."She said walking back to the balcony..."You met with the queen..."

"I did.."He replied taking a step with the intentions of closing the distance between them, but the more he step closer, the more his body draws him to hold her......"But that doesn't answer my question, who are you..?"

"There is absolutely no point telling you who I am..."

He suck on his teeth and dare to draw closer to her..., she is sweet but a dangerous sweet and sweets like her will send one to his grave with grievance diabetes...

"You said I'm a bait, what did you mean by that..?"

His body perfect scent found way to her nose as he close the distance between them, she breathe in the exotic scent despite her effort not to and her eyes involuntarily gazed at his face, he was handsome from the depths of his eyes..., perhaps she didn't take note since he was all dirty and drenched with blood....., she shook out any thought of him from her head and immediately took a few steps away from him....

His eyes followed the direction of her footsteps....

She sigh when she face him again, his question ringing in her head once again...."Whatever I said..., is totally not your business..."

He chuckle and scratch his nose..."You're kidding right.."

"No..."

"You said I'm a bait..., a bait to what huh..., a bait to catch the Godfather....?"

Berseck hit her stomach...

"That's is it.."He topped it before she ruled it off as nonsense..."A bait to catch the Godfather.."

She scoff..."Hours ago you didn't even know who was after you and now you think you're a bait to catch the Godfather because I mentioned him as a likely suspect, you're even more stupid than I thought..."

He grind his teeth at the insult..."No.., I'm not stupid..., because I remember everything that happened too well.., you told me this is the Godfather style, chasing the target to the end of the world.., and then your bodyguard also mentioned the Godfather name when he met us at the roof and earlier.., the queen mentioned him too...., even a kid will understand the maths..."

"Which is..?"

"It's one plus one baby..., you're at war with the Godfather and you want him out so you using me as a bait to get to him because you think it's the Godfather who's after me..."

"Wow..."She crowled...."You must have really impressed your parent.., so now that you figured it out, what do you want to do, escape from here...?"

He grit..., that is the plan, to escape from the hell hole she brought him.., once again the words in the paper jinx his vision...

"No...."He said taking another step towards her..."I need you to answer some questions for me.."

"What do you think I am...Google..?"

"I'm serious..."He riposte...

"I'm not answering any questions and since you've found out about our intentions, why don't you leave..?"

For a moment, he got lost in her face but quickly jolted out upon realization...
"You'll answer them rregardless..."He said, an atom of hardness in his voice

Her brows furrowed but she didn't say a word...

"Who exactly is the Godfather and why do you think he's after me..?"

"Ask your mother.."She returned brusquely and was about walking out but he dragged her back, she almost tripped but he hold her and drag her body to himdelf colliding their bodies in the process..., for a moment they remained like that, each lost with the warm feeling of each other...

Miranda widened her eyes upon realization and quickly she jerked away from him....

"Tell me..."He said pushing the awkward thoughts away...."Who is he and why is he after me...?"

"I don't know if he's the one after you okay..."She snapped...

"No, you're sure...., you know is he..., tell me, why is he after me..?"

"I don't know...."She blare out...."Like I said, ask your mother.."

"Then what do you and the queen have against him...?"

Her fist clenched as her brows furrowed..."That is totally not your concern..."

"Look.., if it's true the Godfather is after me..., i need to do something..."

"Something like what...?"

"I need to know who he is first..., how powerful is he, what's his name, his identity.."

She scoff.."You cannot catch air...."

"What's that supposed to me..?"

"It means he's invincible...., the queen saw a glance of his face in that night and that was all.., the rest we know about him is just his name and how he operates..."

"Wait, what night..?"

She sigh heavily..."I've said enough..., just leave, go to your home town..."

"You said I'll die if I go there..."

"I don't care okay..., die if you must.., it's totally not my business..."She riposte and turn to walk away..

"Let me be the bait..."He stated stopping her in her tracks....."I want to be the bait..., if truly the Godfather is after me, I want him down as well..."

"Is that what you want to do..?"She ask turning to face him...

He nodded and step closer to her..."Yes..., If it means getting home without men chasing me with guns, I want to be the bait.."






*******************
Kess cleaned his feet on the pillow foot mat, tied the towel round his waist and trot towards the bed..., he was about applying his cream when a light knock sounded on the door..., his right arm reached for his gun and with the towel around his waist, he trot towards the door and looked through the door lens hole...

He exhale when he realised it was Dorathy..., dropping the gun to his side, he unlock the door....

"Hi officer..."Dorathy said

Kess didn't find her late visit charming but he never showed it....
"Come in.."He said walking back to the bed..

Dorathy eyes fused on his back down to his top bum before noticing the rest of his body disappeared into the towel around his waist...

"I wasn't expecting you..."Kess said searching for a shirt to wear...

"You don't need to wear a shirt because of me..."She stated impetuously before realising the words came out wrong....

Kess poke his eyes at her....

"I mean..."She said a bit embarrassed by her own words.."You know what I mean.."She added with a light laughter before her eyes settled on his hard abs stomach.....

Kess lick his lip and swing on the shirt anyway.....

"I came to formally apologise for what happened..."She said averting her eyes from his body and concentrating on his face.., though she wished the towel falls off...

"What happened wasn't your fault..."Kess replied..."He escaped.., he played us all..."

"Still, I think it's my fault.., if I had watched him carefully, I would have seen him taking that drug..., I messed up.."

"You tried your best..."

She smile, when he didn't return it, she continue...."How was your discussion with the DPO..?"

"Didn't go well..."

"The two of you fought again.."

"He was accusing me of harbouring illegal weapons, can you imagine that..?"

"Illegal weapons...!"She reiterated..."Why would he think that...?"

"He asked me where I got the gun I used during the shipment..."

"Wait.., how did he know you had a gun..?"

"Well I think someone from the team told him but it doesn't matter who did.."

"So what did you tell him..?"

"Nothing...., I swear I would have lost my cool again if you hadn't walked in.."

"So I saved you from unleashing that beast again..."

He chuckle...."Indeed.."

"So where do you think he escaped to...?"

Kess puckered..."No idea..."

"Those people he killed..., he has no conscience..."

Kess walked towards her....."We'll get him again.."

"How...?"

"I don't know but I have a feeling we will, but something doesn't just add up with those men he killed..., he couldn't have killed those many men all by himself..., someone must have helped him...."

"Yeah, I noticed that...."

"Tomorrow, we will be paying a visit to the other chief.."

"You mean chief Miguel...?"

"Yes...., the king's dead is still hanging on the thread, we don't know who poisoned him yet..., i have a feeling chief Miguel may know something...."







*******************
Rick laughed as he served a spoonful of the food in Claude food...

"Mum..., table manners..."Liza chimes in..

"Liza, I'm just playing with your younger brother..."

Liza rolled her eyes before returning her attention to her food..

"Your majesty..."Capisho chime in from behind them..

Claude quickly turn her face to see the person....

"A moment please..."Capisho said...

"I'll be back Rick.."She said to her son before standing up and entered another room with Capisho....

"What is it..?"She asked

"Sherpa is dead..."

Shock swept across Claude's face...."What about the letter...?"

"Missing.."

"Oh God..., it's him...., I'm sure he has the letter..."

"What do we do now ...., do we let him go or follow Miranda's plan..., use him as a bait.."

"You think that will work, the Godfather is not stupid, he will know it's a trap..."

"It's the only shot we got now your majesty.., I suggest we take it.."

"I'm not loosing any other person on my account..."Claude replied before the door open and Miranda and Lawrence walked in...

"What's he doing here..?"Claude asked shapily..

"He's ready..."Miranda said....

"For what...?"

"Tell her what you told me.."Miranda said to Lawrence..

Lawrence gulp a dry lump in his throat and his mind brood over the words in the paper once again....

"I want to be the bait.."He said damning the warnings...

Claude look at Miranda before returning her gaze to Lawrence...."Did she tell you you might die if plans go south.."

"I know.."Lawrence mutter...."It's better I face the demons holding me from getting home or suffocate with the thoughts of never going home, so I'm ready..."

"He killed Sherpa, didn't he..?"Miranda ask...

Claude nodded....

"Who's Sherpa..?"Lawrence ask curiously

"He was a good man.."Miranda replied shapily..." A good man going to deliver a letter to your mother, to notify her you're here so she can come get you herself, he was killed by the Godfather, this is enough..., we need to get that bastard tonight... "

"How...?"Claude ask..

"We'll send another letter.."Miranda said..."But this letter will be to him, it will state the time, the place for the handover..."

"You do know the gravity of what you're getting into.."Claude said to Lawrence..."If things go bad, you're on your own, I won't lose any man trying to protect you from bullets understand..."

Lawrence heart raced with tremendous speed as the words sink deeply inside him....."I'll need a short gun..."

Claude nod and face Miranda....."What time will be suitable...?"









********************
After killing the driver, he took the letter out before dialling a number, the call connected after the third ring...

"What..?"The receiver queried from the other end.

"We got another letter boss..."

"What does it say...?"The receiver ask

"I have the prince, meet me at the Salisbury road at 2AM midnight for exchange, don't come late or I'll reveal your identity to everyone..."

A crocked dry laughter sounded from the other end before the voice came...."Bye you fool..."

Still on Day 2






A nudge to Lawrence rib made him sluggishly open his eyes.., he blink only to realise he was in a room.., he rolled his eyes staring at everything within his vision and that was when he saw a little boy looking at him gormlessly from the door..., he raise his brow and try to move but his hands couldn't move, when he try to move his hand again, a drag restricted him..., he manage to raise his eyes to a corner and just then he saw he was chained to the rods on the wall...

"Don't try to move..."The little boy said crisply....."You'll only get yourself injured..."

Lawrence sigh, a sigh of annoyance as the past events brood over his head, he remenber the men who came to him and Miranda and when he tried to ask who she was....

He gulped a dry lump in his throat upon realization he was hit to the state of unconsciousness...., he turn his face to the little boy who was distance away from him, the boy's body reclined on the door.....

"Where am I..?"He asked the boy

When the boy shook his head, Lawrence understood, he can't talk but he needed to know, if Miranda has brought him to the men after him he has to know in order to plan his next line of escape...

"Hey.."Lawrence mutter to the boy before he forcefully swallowed....."Listen to me.., you have to help me...

"My aunt said you're a bad man..."The little boy riposte softly...

Lawrence grit wondering who his aunt is, then it crossed his mind, it could be Miranda....

"Your aunt..."Lawrence said praying the boy tells him the truth..."Is her name Miranda...?"

"Aunt Mira...."The little boy coos...

"Yes aunt Mira.."Lawrence said shapily..."Look, whatever aunt Mira told you about me, it's all lies, am a good person, and your aunt.....

"My aunt said you're a bad man.."The little boy reiterated

Lawrence suck on his teeth wondering if it's right if he tells the boy the truth, that his aunt is a kidnapper and possibly a killer..she's the bad person....

"Look..."Lawrence said trying to get down to him but the chain hold him back...."I am not a bad man, I need you to help me, do you know who has the keys to this chain I'm chained with..."

"No he doesn't...."A voice cut in from outside before the room door open...

Lawrence stare at the person who came in wondering who she is...

"I'm sorry mum..."The boy said the moment the new person joined them...

Claude exhale..."Rick, I told you not to come in here..."

"I'm sorry mum.., I was just passing..., I wanted to know if he was up or not..."

"He's up.."Claude said..."You may leave now Rick.."

Rick stole a last glance from Lawrence.."Okay mum..., but don't be furious he woke up, i was the one who pinched him..."

Claude raise her brows at him and without another word Rick left them there..

"What's going on here..?"Lawrence asked anxiously.."And who the hell are you.., where is Miranda...?"

A smile that disappeared as it came surrounded Claudes face...."One question at a time prince.."

"Who are you people...., are you the ones who want me dead...?"

Claude scoff..."Tell me, why would I want you dead..?"

"Don't play games with me.., if you don't want me dead, then let me go.."

"I wasn't the one who brought you here..."

Irritation swept across lawrence face...."Unchain me then..."

"Relax prince, I only want to know a few things about you...."

"I'm not telling you a few things about me until you unchain me...."

Claude smile..."Capisho..."She announced..

The door open, and a huge man entered the room with a set of keys dangling in his hand....

"Unchain him..."Claude said..

Lawrence sigh in disbelief but kept staring at the man as he walk over to him and unlock the chain...

Lawrence flex his fingers as the man took the chains off of his hand...

"So tell me.."Claude said walking closer to him..."Who want you dead...?"

"Why should I tell you anything..?"Lawrence sneer..

"I just let you out of your chains, I can easily put them back and this time, forever..."

"Are you that cruel..?"

"Depends on your definition of cruel..."

Lawrence glance at the thug before turning his gaze to Claude...."I don't know who's after me..."

"Are you sure..?"

"Well if I'm sure, I wouldn't be here, would I....?"

Claude threw a gaze at Capisho before returning her gaze to Lawrence....

"But Miranda did mention the Godfather...."

"Do you know who the Godfather is...?"Claude ask

"I don't...."

Claude stare at his bloody singlet, and lour her face down to see hid shoes and trouser....

"Show him a bathroom..."Claude said to Capisho....."And get him some fresh clothes...."she added and turn to leave..

"Miranda..."Lawrence cut in stopping Claude in her steps...."Where is she...?"

Claude turn to face him...."You'll be seeing her soon..."







*******************
"Is he awake..."Miranda ask over her shoulder as she try to march her earrings with her attire...

Claude sigh and open the room door wide before she walked inside..."Yes..."

"So is it time...?"

"Time for what Miranda...?"

Miranda quickly turn to face her..."You know what I mean.., let send a message to that bastard telling him we have the prince...."

"He doesn't know who's after him..."

"We know who's after him..."Miranda said.."One of the Godfather men was taken out by Zach himself...., this is an opportunity for us to enact revenge for what he did to your father..."

"I'm sending the boy home.."

"Are you kidding me..?"Miranda riposte standing up to face her..."We've been at war for the past two years with that son of a bitch and now that we have a weapon to finish him off once and for all, you're relenting...."

"I just don't feel it's right..."

"Everything is right in war..."

"If we use him as a bait and things go wrong...he might die.."

"Who cares..."Miranda snapped....."As long as we kill that bastard, I do not care who dies..."

"Is this why you put your life at risk this morning...?"Claude asked..

"The hunter was like a father to me..., he stood a father figure after the dead of your father...., we were going to make the ritual together..."

"You mean the blood ritual, I can't believe you believed that nonsense..., people have offered so many sacrifices still, the stain doesn't erase..."

"It would have been worth a try, but do you know what's worst.., the Godfather took two more people from me.., The hunter and Harry.."

"You mean Harry, the young man you've been leading on...."

"Don't even think of blaming me for his dead..., I didn't force him to follow me..."

Claude scoff...."I'm sending a message to his mother.."

"Whose mother...?"

"The prince mother.., I heard his town chief priest have given his mother a seven day ultimatum for him to return.., today is the second day..., we need to get him home..."

"Your majesty..."Miranda said...."You're getting sympathetic..., stop it..."

"You know what almost happened to me when those men threatened to take away my father's throne from me"

"That's different, and if that bastard hasn't instigate those men, that wouldn't have happened, so you see, every bullshit we went through all beats down to him and if we don't stop him now, he'll continue to mess with us..."

"I'm not going to stop him at the expense of the prince's life.., we'll find another way.."

"There's no other way and you know that..., is either this or nothing.."

"We'll find another way.."Claude said and walk out of the room..

Miranda groaned as she watch her leave.....






*******************
Lawrence stepped into the shower, toes flinching as they touched the chilled ceramic floor, his mind was in shreds...., he bathed his skin lightly, taking careful notice not to touch the bruises that scattered his body...., he shut his eyes as the water rinse down the dirts and blood down his body....

After his shower, he stepped out of the bathroom totally ñaked with the towel around his neck.., he glance at the new clothes Claude men has offered him..,, he pick up the Tshirt and that was when the door burst open...

Shocked, he quickly wrapped the towel around his waist....

"What the hell man...?"Lawrence blare out when he saw Capisho with a trolley of food...

"Compliment of the queen...."Capisho said brusquely...

"Did the queen also ask you not to knock....?"Lawrence queried

Capisho maintained his stoned face, after much stare at Lawrence, he turn to walk out..

"Where is she..?"Lawrence asked

"Who..?"He asked over his shoulder with a baritone voice...

"Miranda.., I'm yet to see her, where is she..?"

Capisho didn't bother replying, he just walked out and locked the door...

Lawrence brows furrowed and he quickly change into the new clothes they had given him....






*******************
After writing the note, Claude fold it and place it on the envelope....

"Go to Saruza land..."She said to the man in front of her..."And hand this letter over to Queen Tiger..., make sure you give to Queen Tiger and no one else..."

"Yes your majesty..."The man replied taking the letter from her...

"Be careful Sherpa...."

"Yes your majesty..."He said and left...






*****************
After eating few spoons of the food, Lawrence tossed it aside and walk over to the door, when he tried to open it, he realised it was locked...

"Helloooo...."Lawrence shouted...."Get me out of here...."

When no reply came, he groan and walked back to the bed and that was when a paper slipped into the room space between the bottom of the door and the ground...

Shocked, Lawrence rushed to pick the sheet of paper and he quickly unfold it...., fear shrieked his insides as he read the words written on the paper out...

"You're not save here, leave while you can."He read out

Fear creep into his skin and once again he rushed to the door...

"Who is there...?"He asked lightly but no answer came.., he glance at the disturbing words in the paper again, when the door creaked, he dropped the paper in his side pocket...

He took a step back when the door open ..., he gulp a dry lump in his throat when he saw Zach, he quickly recognise him from the roof before he was hit into unconsciousness....

"You..."Lawrence drool pointing at him...

"Follow me.."Zach sneer...

Lawrence remember Miranda's words, she said he's a bait and now someone sent him a message warning him of been in danger in the house......

"Now..."Zach added without a flinch in his voice...

"Where are we going...?"

"You don't have to know.., just listen, now get yourself out or I'll help you...."

Lawrence took a step back as he weigh the pros and cons of hitting Zach down and finding his way out of the house.....whoever sent him the message is right...he's definitely not save here....







********************
Sherpa, the letter delivery person swung the car into the lone road of the town, the words of Claude replay in his head over and over...'GIVE THE LETTER TO ONLY QUEEN TIGER..'

He shook off the thought and concentrate in his driving and just when he was about turning to a different road, a car quickly drove past him and stop in front of him and he quickly kick on his brakes..., when men came out of the car with guns, he grabbed his own gun from the front passenger's seat...

Without time wasting, he shot one of the attackers from the side windows and that was when several bullets came for him..

The bullets from his attackers broke his car windshield, many bullets penetrating his body as blood splashed and he died instantly from too much bullet holes....

One of his attackers look inside the car and took out the envelope, he opened it before taking out his phone to dial a number..

The receiver picked up after the second ring..

"I have the letter boss.."He said

"What does it says..?"The receiver asked

The man look at the letter..."It says...'Queen Tiger, it's my pleasure to inform you that I have your son in my palace.., come and get him....QUEEN CLAUDE..'."

"Thrash it.."The receiver said....."And find another way to kill that stupid prince, I'm beginning to run out of patience...."

"Yes boss..."
