“Stop there!”Nick kept on yelling as he ran after the man who was dressed up as a doctor.

Nick caught up with him when he bumped into a nurse and a patient.

Nick caught him and pulled off the hospital mask on his face.

“Who sent you! Who the hell sent you!”He yelled at the man who gave him a crooked smile.

“Call the police, some one call …….”Nick couldn’t finish his word because he was pushed away.

While the man ran off in a hurry, Nick stood up too, running after the man.

He ran through a hall, which was dark and has no one in it.

Nick stood still looking for him in the little dark Ness that enveloped him.

He ran further in and there was still no sign of the bastard.

He was about leaving when he noticed some thing on him.

There were three red s₱0t of light pointed right at his chest through the large glass window.

Nick stood starring at the window and he knew that if he moved,the gun would be shot and there was no way he could do it, he will be hurt too.

He stood still and just then men who had the gun pointed at him shot right at him but it didn’t meet him because some one pushed him to the floor.

“Lay low “Peter said as they both lay on the floor while the shooter shot all their bullet.

The shooting stopped after a while and when they were sure that they were safe, they both sat up.

“Are you all right?”Peter asked

“Yes” Nick said still shocked by what just took place.

If Peter hadn’t been here, he would have been dead already!

“What happened? How come you ended up here?”Peter asked

“I was chasing a man who tried to kill Celine …..”he stopped thinking about Celine.

“Seems like the man had lured you…… Wait where are you going?”Peter asked as Nick stood up to leave

“I need to go to Celine! “he said as he ran out of the hall which a lot of people were already waiting by the entrance,thinking the worse but when they saw Nick walking out they all sighed, gushing over him and asking about Peter who had run into the hall,not caring for the danger that was there.

He assured every one of them and asked them to call for the police and then he excused him self heading to Celine ward.

At a distance, he saw some nurses around a patient who insisted on leaving, he looked closer to see that it was Celine who was crying profusely, wanting to leave.

“You don’t under stand….that gun shot…..just let me go!”She said trying to move past then but they were also determined not to let her leave..

“Celine!”he called and she turned to see him, immediately she saw him, she stood up limping with her one good leg to him.

He walked towards her too and when she was about to get to him, she fell on the floor.

He moved towards her quickly and she stared up at him, carressing his face

“I thought some thing bad had happen to you”She said as the tears kept pouring

“Am a guard, you should put your trust in me”he said

“Not this time Nick! Do you know how worried I was! I don’t want you to ever leave me, ever!”She said and he pulled her to him giving her a tight hug.

Just a few minutes ago, he had been almost killed, during that time, the only thought he had was Celine.

“She is still not feeling well, can you please help us take her to her ward”A nurse said as she walked towards them.

He carried her in his arms and took her to the ward.

“Don’t leave okay, stay with me”she muttered at him, holding onto his hand.

The nurse gave inject some thing in her arm and she slept off like a log but her hand never left his.

Nick sat for a while starring at Celine, he bent towards her and gave her a k-ss and then released his hold on her.

He walked out of the ward to see Peter talking to the nurse he had seen earlier.

“What’s wrong?”He asked

“She was just telling me about the man she had seen in Celine room earlier”Peter said

“What was he doing in Celine ward?”Nick asked

“He had injected a deadly drug into her drip bag, the doctor had said that if we hadn’t been there on time, she would have died but luckily we were able to detect it on time”She said

“Thank you!”Peter said and with one last nod at them she walked off

“Those bastards had tried to kill Celine”

“Don’t forget that they had tried to kill you too”Peter said

“Seems like they were targeting both Celine and I”He said as he hit the wall angrily

“The cops are at the hall where the shooting had taken place and also at the building were the men were, they didn’t find any one but they were people who stood there saying they had seen two men fleeing the building” Peter said

“While the police work on that,I will be visiting George”he said

“Stay here and watch over Celine, I will be…..”

“Why do you want to go and…..”

“I have to see that bastard! I have to make him pay for what he did today” Nick yelled out angrily.

“Don’t be blinded by rage, George is an important man, once you do some thing to him, he will file a case on you, don’t give him that satisfaction”Peter said and that calmed him down a bit

“But……”

“Listen to me Nick,this is what they want! They will take you away from Celine side and then kill her. Is that what you want?”Peter asked and he stopped to think about what Peter said.

“So just calm down, let the police do their job and let’s keep digging for more evidence and when that is done, we will take each and every one of them down”Peter said..

The two were so immense in their talk that they didn’t notice Bruce approaching them .

“Excuse me”Bruce said softly and recognising his voice Nick turned immediately to glare at the man

“What the hell are you doing here?”he barked sharply

“I came to see Celine”he said

“That’s what hypocrite will say”Nick said angrily

“Look am not here to fight,I only want to talk to Celine, Her mom is angry at me and she wouldn’t……”

“That is what you deserve, you deserve that and a lot more, after attempting to kill her, you still show your face here again”

“Have told you that i don’t want Celine dead!”He said

“Really? Are you sure, you were with George, the man in charge of the illegal gambling den?”Nick asked not believing a word

“Since you won’t believe what I say, I will tell you the reason why I went to see George yesterday”Bruce said softly .

“Let’s say I believe what you say! Tell us why you went to see George yesterday?”Nick asked

“Thomas plans on working on a new project with him,as the president, he sent me there to get him some doc-ments to sign”Bruce finished lamely

“But then I figured some thing wasn’t right ?”Bruce said suddenly catching the attention of Nick and Peter

“Thomas had told me that he would be buying a particular land for a certain sum of money, I had asked him what it was for but he only told me that it would be for business,I never got to find a land because it was quite hærd and he told me also that he was unable to get one but one day while his was in his office, I saw a land name and every thing in one of the folders the secretary was taking to him”

“He had payed for it and it only needed his signature, which he signed on that particular day, he had had it all set only for me to ask him about it and the answer he gave me was that…..”Bruce paused

“Was that what”the two of them asked in unison

“That he hasn’t acquire a land, I found it odd that day and I was more surprised when he asked me to keep finding one and when I did he bought that one too and asked me to take the folder to George. That was why you saw me at George house, I wasn’t doing any thing shady, I was only doing what Thomas asked of me”He said.

“What you are saying right now is that Thomas was the one who sent you and that you think he is up to some thing with George?”Nick asked Bruce who nodded his head in return

“I find that hærd to believe, you are just trying to rid your self off the issue”Peter said

“I swear on life it self, you need to believe me Nick, am not amongst the gambling den members and I will never want Celine dead !”Bruce said as he moved towards Nick.

“You don’t have to listen to this Nick, he is…..”

“Let’s give him a benefit of doubt, I will meet Thomas my self and once i get to talk to him, I will know which one of them is lying”Nick said.

“You go and talk to him and you will see that am not lying, I will help you in any way to get those bastards who are working at the gambling den”Bruce said as Nick began to walk off

“That is if you aren’t one of them”Nick said and walked off.

Nick got to the Clifford office and got out of his car.

He stood starring at the building, starring at the upper floor.

Thomas might be mischievous in things but as to join an illegal gambling den, that’s some thing he would never do. He is much of a coward to join an illegal Den.

But all in all he would have to confirm, if he has any thing to do with them, he wouldn’t hesitate to take him down with the rest.

Seems like Thomas has been expecting his arrival because this time his secretary didn’t bother to stop him but instead she treated him with utmost care and led him to

He walked in and saw thomas Standing in front of the window starring out side.

On hearing Nick foot steps he turned, welcoming him with a smile which never reached his eyes

“Welcome little bro”He said gently

“You must have been expecting me and from i Remember,I never told you i was coming big bro”Nick replied

“I have a sixth sense as you see, I certainly know when you will come!”He said.

“Okay, I will take it that you really have a sixth sense and stay to chat with you”Nick said

“Chat about what exactly?”Thomas asked

“About the company, as you must have known by now, am not back in Celine life and so her business Is my business, you can show me the things you have been doing so far”Nick said

“Really? And did Celine send you to do this or are you just doing it because you feel like it”

“Why am doing this is none of your business, what you should be telling me how is every thing you have been doing for the past three days, she is also a share holder in this company”Nick said

“Then she should come her self, I don’t like talking to stranger’s when it comes to business”He said

“But why? You just called me your little bro a while ago and now am a stranger, that’s bad”Nick said sacastically.

“Fine then, since you want to see it, then do “He picked up his phone and called his secretary, asking her to bring the necessary doc-ments.

Nick was still scrolling through it when he began his interrogation

“I heard from some one that you are planning to you bought a land, can you tell me what it’s for?”Nick asked

“And who told you that?”He asked softly

“some one I know, just tell me if you bought a land!'”Nick said

“Yes it’s true that am planning on buying a land but as it is I haven’t bought one yet, we are still looking for it”Thomas lied and Nick thought of what Bruce said earlier.

“Really? Well can you tell me what you planning to do with that land once you have got it?”He asked

“Well I plan on building another branch, it’s time that we begin to set new offices as it is”Thomas said

“I don’t think Celine will like this”Nick said

“What does Celine know, she doesn’t know a thing when it comes business, she is still a baby in the woods,In fact the only thing she knows is you Nick, she is blinded by her love for you”He said

“Well am glad she is ! Because am the same too”Nick said as he stood up

“Well I think I will have to put in more effort then”Thomas said suddenly and Nick stared at him

“I simply can’t let her go to you, you see have grown fond of Celine, I like her and I told her so just a few days ago”He said

“Am sure she didn’t welcome you with open arms”He said

” You are right but at least I got to taste a part of her”Thomas said intentionally

“What do you mean?”Nick asked

“I k-ssed her and it was the most…. “Thomas didnt get to finish his word because Nick pushed him to the wall angrily

“What did you say?”

“That I k-ssed her and though she replied by slapping me, I certainly wouldn’t give up! Celine will be mine, that I can assure you”Thomas said and Nick released him

“I trust Celine and I know that she certainly wouldn’t go to you for any thing in the world,as you have said she is blinded by her love for me and that is some thing I will rely on”he said as he turned to leave

“But it will be open some day, her eyes will be open and she will see you for who you really are! Am sure you haven’t told her the truth yet right?”he asked and When much didn’t answer he continued

“I knew it, you still haven’t, I wonder what she will say about you then”Thomas said and Nick turned to stare At him

“Stay away from Celine that’s the last warning am going to give you”he said and turned to leave

“How is she any way,I heard she is at the hospital and today you two almost got killed, not that am concerned about you but I am when it comes to……”

“How do you know about the incident that took place today?”Nick asked as he stared at him again

“From the news of course! It’s on the internet”he said looking a bit nervous.

Nick nodded and left his,the first thing he did when he got to his car was to search about the incident and he didn’t find any on any of the news,so Thomas is lying! He thought as he drove off.

Celine could feel some one sitting beside her, the person had been holding her hand for a while now and she knew who it was even before she opened her eyes

“Am glad you are…..what are you ?”She stopped when she saw Alicia sitting on the chair starring at her

“Why are you here?”Celine asked

“To see you of course”she said

“Why? You aren’t oblige to and…..”

“You caught me! You know I would never come to see you, am not that close to do that, I came to see Nick, I heard he has been at the hospital watching over you”Alicia said sounding a bit angry

“Yes,he has been watching over me as it is and I certainly don’t see what your problem is with that”Celine said

“Really? Do I have to remind you what I am to Nick!”

“His lover? Oh please! Save me that bull shit, I know already what you are to him, you see Nick tells me every thing “She said

“Are you sure? I doubt that! If he has you certainly wouldn’t be talking about him in a sweet way, you certainly will be full anger and hate towards him”She said laughingly

“What do you mean by that ?”Celine asked

“It’s not in my place to tell you but this is what I will tell you. Stay away from Louis, cut what ever ties you have with him”She said

“Why must I do that?”

“It’s simple, I want him “Alicia said

“He is your …….”

“Step brother, which means we aren’t related, have always wanted him even when I thought of him as my brother but now that I know that he is not my brother, what do you think that I will do?”She asked

“I won’t be leaving Nick for your useless infactuation”Celine said

“Then you will leave me with no choice, I wanted this to be a good arrangement between us but you want it to go the wrong way, then I will give you what you want”she said

“What do you mean?”,

“I will steal him away from you, am his little sister after all and he will do what I want, that is some thing I can assure you”She said starring at Celine with anger.
