“Those assassins were sent by Valentine and his dues Stone, if those guys are still in this country, then, you definitely shouldn’t have problems finding them” Lord Vladimir told Stone immediately he stopped to watch the laptop Stone was working on.
He stepped more close beside lord Nathaniel who had just instructed Khora to close one of the van after the men loaded the van up with the weapons they’ve come to acquire.
“Boss. The assassins are professionals, it won’t be easy finding them just like finding anyone around the country” Stone tried to reason thoughtfully with Vladimir. He took a quick glance at the drug lord and back to the laptop placed on his laps.
“Boss, words came that Sunny is dead” Khora announced thereafter he closed the van.
“Sunny” !! Lord Nathaniel called, he looked up immediately to meet lord Vladimir fixated eye on him.
He made a smirk and nodded in pity before turning back to Khora.
“But you should at least find them Stone. We have men scattered over this country and there’s no place those assassins could be without us finding them” Lord Vladimir urged Stone on.
“How about Steve Jones” Lord Nathaniel asked Khora before he took two steps forward to crosscheck the lock on the van door.
“Who killed Sunny?” he added another question while waiting for Khora’s response to the first question but there was silence for a moment instead while Khora was yet to respond.
“We’ve got to move now” The four men heard Margot loud voice from the front door of the van. They saw her open the door afterwards with Benjie and she opt in,side instantly.
Having seen that, lord Nathaniel took a glance at his wristwatch and move almost the same seconds Lord Vladimir moved behind him.
“We’ve got to go” Lord Nathaniel muttered afterwards Stone and Khora followed behind.

Mr. Doss made a sigh in relief and rest back immediately Mrs. Carol Evelyn was handcuffed by the two men Mr. Madison had called in.
He squinted and made a breath from beneath him,
“This is unbelievable” He muttered and turned to Mr. Madison who was looking at the way Mrs. Carol Evelyn was handcuffed. He was about calling the agent attention when the land phone on his desk size of 60cm by 30cm rang. He picked it up at once just the seconds Mr. Madison looked at him.
“Good. Let her in immediately” The director said into the phone few seconds later and dropped the land phone, by then the two men Mr. Madison had called in maintained their stands with Mrs. Carol Evelyn between them.
“please help me Mr. Doss, everything I did wasn’t any of my intention. The late director forced me to” Mrs. Carol Evelyn cried slowly and pleaded immediately the door to the office opened.
“Please come in miss Sophia George” The director urged the 26 years old lady who had on a light face and had taken a step into the office immediately after popping her head in,side first, nonchalantly ignoring Mrs. Carol Evelyn pleads.
“Oh thanks Mr. Doss. I was… Uh told you invited me… Over” Sophia stammered.. And her words became slower the more she steps forward. An awkward face showed on her face instantly and her legs weaver, her face turned likewise immediately to a troubled one.
She saw Mr. Madison staring a look at her likewise Mr. Doss who frowned, her heart skipped immediately she sighted Mrs. Carol Evelyn when she saw the handcuff on her hands and the two agents besides her.
“Miss Sophia George, we do have few questions to ask you regarding a financial irregularities on a luxury resort in Cozumel, the fake property you and Mrs. Carol Evelyn knew about in Mexico” Mr. Madison spoke sharply and turned sideways to face her.
Sophia returned Mr. Madison gaze with extreme fear immediately. She froze and her heart skipped again, she took a quick glance at Mrs. Carol Evelyn and the director.
“Sophia, what do you know about this resort and where the money made from it goes?”
Another question was thrown to her.

The blue painted door to the interrogation room Steve was seated opened again an hour after Inspector Kelvin left.
Steve raised himself and took a look at the door, Charles was coming back again.
He heard Charles made an heavy sigh after their eyes lurk and his two hands placed on his wrist, another audible breath sounds from Charles again who had only taken five steps away from the only door.
“How many more troubles are you gonna cause Steve?” Charles barked but in a low and paced voice.
“You shouldn’t be let in here freely as you want Charles” Steve interrupted sharply the same way.
“I don’t fuc..king want to be in here anymore Steve, you’ve caused so many people more damn problems and you are fuc..king gonna make corrections to all this shi..ts because you are the damn reason all of this happened” Charles barked again. This time loud and louder.
He dropped a file immediately on the desk Steve hands were cuffed on and returned his hands thereafter to his wa-ist.
“You fuc..ing needs to take this up right now man” Charles barked again with more annoyance.

Few Hours later.
Sophia George stretched out her hands and placed them on the desk now in-between Mr. Madison who was seated opposite her and Mrs. Carol Evelyn.
She raised her head to listen to the agent after a straight glance at the doc-ment stretched on the desk for her to see.
At the first opened front page of the doc-ment is a passport of Lord Nathaniel at the top right angle with inscriptions beside it.
“This is Nathan Barnes, he worked for this company few years ago as an assistant to the financial secretary before he resigned after getting his hands on the leaked data that led to all of this” Mr. Madison said and paused. He leaned back on the metal chair and watched as Sophia opened the front page of the doc-ment.
“Taxation, smuggling of drugs, fake properties, cocaine, high sophisticated weapon deals and all sort of irregular financials involving millions of dollars. All of this money were secretly kept in this company server by some people and one of this people is Mr. Valentine, the founder of Zee’s xpress” The agent added loudly with a tip of his left finger on the desk. He took a look at both sides who was looking at him likewise except Sophia who returned her face back to the doc-ment.
She opened the next page of the doc-ment which contained Mrs. Carol Evelyn bank statement account and the next which contained hers.
She closed and reopened her eyes in a seconds, its really dawn on her she and Mrs. Carol Evelyn had been caught and has to speak.
“The late director has a hand in this Mr. Madison, I only knew few information about the fake resort and some government taxes that passes through this company illegally” Sophia said afterwards and heaved a deep breath. She continued.

“But my lord, we still have to be careful and approach this with intelligence and not with levity hands”
“Khora, I have not said we shouldn’t act appropriately neither have I told you I trust Vladimir and Margot. The only thing that has brought us together is the common cause and we’re gonna dealt with the goddamn thing later” Lord Nathaniel said as the door was opened for him by Khora who was walking behind him.
He removed his face cap and suit jacket immediately he stepped into the room and walked to one of the long sofas. He sat instantly and leaned back, he made a hand gesture to one of the two boys in the room just then Khora who was walking behind the drug lord dropped the small brief case he carried on the center table between the long arranged sofas in the room.
In less than two minutes, a glass cup and a bottle of alcoholic drink was brought to lord Nathaniel who gulp down the first filled cup in less than 40 seconds. He raised the cup up for it to be filled instantly before given the instructions for the bottle to be drop beside the brief case Khora dropped on the desk.
“My lord, do you have any contrary plan ahead?” Khora asked immediately lord Nathaniel zipped little from the chilled drink.
He settled on the sofa likewise to await the drug lord response.
He leaned on the sofa and leaned back again, he fixated his eyes on Lord Nathaniel who didn’t give a direct response to his question until one and half minute later.
“After we hijack the cocaine truck and the money, I want you to kill Vladimir and his boys” lord Nathaniel answered. By then, he had empty the second full cup of the alcohol and was about to pour himself another.
“I am sure Vladimir has the same plan for me likewise” Lord Nathaniel added. He zipped the filled cup again like the previous way before gulping it down sharply as Khora sat up straight with full seriousness.
He took a quick glance at the men with them in the room who had the same look on their face immediately they all heard lord Nathaniel last words.
“Guys. Excuse us” Khora said loudly in dismissal, he made a hand gesture to all of them immediately and sat on the edge of the sofa.

The w-t leaves respond to the call-up morning breeze as air direct its stands against all the trees. The green grasses also followed the path as grasshoppers jump up and down the w-t slope of the garden.
The breeze blew more and the weather soon changed, vivid explanations as to why there was so much cold. The light atmosphere had suddenly turned dark and the light sound of thunderstorm is a true confirmation that the rain was soon to pour.
A tear dropped down from Vivian eyes, a painful one. The air blew her shirt and scarf as Margaret try to console her, tapping her shoulder like a ten year old kid.
Mr. Stephen held unto his devastated wife and their two kids painfully as he tried to console his weeping wife. He held unto her shoulder and allowed her place her head on his chest as she weep continuously.
Charles stayed beside Mr. Kruger at the middle of the two sides, he couldn’t help the look on the old man’s face as he stared a painful look at the carved inscribed stone where Mrs. Kruger was buried.
She couldn’t even survive the night through, she died 2 hours after the doctor told them about Mrs. Kruger situation and her slim chance of survival.
Charles thought of stepping more closer to the old man but he couldn’t move any of his legs, Mr. Kruger continued staring at the ‘rest in perfect peace’ written on the stone and surrounded with few flowers. He took another glance at the old man’s face a minute later and tried to move his legs but he still couldn’t.
Another painful tears rolled down from Vivian’s eyes again as her l-ips parted to the harshness of the environment and cold weather. Soon, the rain began to pour slowly and gradually till it becomes heavier and none of them moved an inch or said a word.
Truly was a devastating moment.
