The silence that followed the departure of the last emergency vehicle was concerning.Opulent Haven Hotel, usually alive with activity at this hour of the day, had descended into an unusual state of confusion and silence. The staff members moved hurriedly through the corridors, while a few guests stood at a distance, whispering among themselves as they tried to get the complete story what happened.At the reception desk, two female receptionists stood close to each other with their voices barely above a whisper."Did you hear what happened upstairs?" one of them asked, glancing towards the elevators, making sure that nobody was coming from upstairs."I heard there were three men in the suite," the other replied. "Unfortunately, one of them didn't make it.""Jesus Christ!!!" The first receptionist covered her mouth. "In this hotel?""Keep your voice down. The manager has already warned everyone not to discuss it with the guests."A male receptionist seated a little farther down leaned

Someone tried to kill him, and whoever stood behind the attack was still out there. They might already know that he escaped. They might even be preparing for their next move.He looked down at his hands, remembering the struggle in the suite. He had fought his way through the danger, but surviving an attack wasn't the same as understanding it and that pissed him off.He desperately needs answers, and he needed to know who had been responsible for putting him in that position.The taxi eventually slowed to a stop near the address Rachel had given the driver.For a moment, she remained seated with her fingers tightening around the strap of her bag. She turned to Dylan, looking at him as though she still hadn't fully processed everything that had happened."Thank you, Dylan," she whispered as she swallowed hard and tried to force a small smile that didn't quite hide the emotions in her eyes."I honestly don't know what would have happened to me if you hadn't been there." She paused, look

The taxi moved through the city traffic with its engine humming as the driver navigated the crowded road.Dylan sat beside Rachel in the back seat, his eyes seemed to be staring but his mind was absolutely somewhere else reminiscing about everything that happened.Neither of them had said much since they left the hotel. The events of the day had left too many questions hanging between them, and Dylan wasn't the kind of person who could simply forget something because he had managed to survive it.He will definitely want to see it to the end. Three men had entered his suite with the intention of killing him. That much was clear. But what bothered him was something one of them said.𝑫𝒚𝒍𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎Dylan replayed the words in his mind.The attackers had been prepared to move. They knew the layout of the room, or at least enough to navigate it. Yet the moment they realised he wasn't where they expected him to be, something had changed. They didn't look confus

By the time Germany reached the underground parking garage, the hotel's security team was heading toward the wrong floor.Someone had redirected the cameras.He didn't know how long the interference would last, and he wasn't interested in finding out. He crossed the garage without looking back, his hand buried inside his jacket where the encrypted phone rested.There was a black-tinted SUV waiting near the exit of the garage and the moment he approached, the rear door opened and Germany climbed inside."Drive." Germany said and the urgency in his voice was quite obvious.The vehicle pulled away before the door had fully shut.For several seconds, none of them spoke a word and the driver watched the road while Germany examined the phone in his hand, turning it over as though he might discover something new by looking at it from another angle."Sir, did you get what you came for?" the driver finally asked."Yes, I got the device, but I can't access it yet." Germany answered casually, hi

There were mistakes you could afford to make, and then there were mistakes that followed you to the grave. This mission was beginning to look like the latter.The plan had been simple. Get in, retrieve what they needed, eliminate the loose ends, and disappear before anyone realised anything had happened. No evidence and no connection that would ever lead back to them. Killing the receptionist had only made things worse. The woman impersonating her had signed in using the real receptionist's identity that morning, creating the impression that she had reported for duty as usual. But if anyone checked the security footage or questioned the staff, they would soon discover that the real receptionist had never shown up at her post.That discrepancy alone could trigger an investigation. And the deeper investigators dug, the more likely they were to uncover something that should have remained hidden.And the worst part was that Dylan hasn't connected the dots yet.Well, that was the only a

For a few seconds, the two men struggled.The ring leader was badly injured, but his strength and training hadn't completely left him.The unknown man gritted his teeth and pushed harder while the leader tried to twist free, but his body was already failing him.The blade slowly moved closer and then the unknown man overpowered him and slowly plunged the knife into his chest.The leader's grip finally loosened and his hand slipped from the stranger's worst and fell limply to the floor.For a moment, the man in black remained motionless, watching the last traces of life disappear from the assassin's eyes. Then he pulled the knife free, wiped the blade clean, and returned it to its concealed sheath.He drew in a slow and satisfied breath."One problem solved... Now let's get to the business." He whispered as he crouched beside the body and reached into the dead man's pocket retrieving a smartphone.At first glance, it looked ordinary. No unusual markings and no visible security hardware

Jones' eyes widened when he saw Jason unleashing a gun, with his hand on the trigger guard already. And in a split second, a whip-crack sound exploded out of the barrel.“Jones!!!!!!” Kenny yelled at the top of his voice when he saw Jones pacing towards Jason, immediately the gun was fired.Coming to the realization that the gun shot he heard was fired towards Kenny. He quickly lunged at Jason.They both crashed to the ground together, rolled together through the wet, dirt, and the thorns and the broken branches, tearing and punching and growling at each other. A large tree root hit Jones in the head, making his ears to ring. Jones got more advantageous with the punches as they rolled down the broken branches.Jason was looking rashly for his pocket gun but couldn't remember where it had fallen. Another resounding punch came from Jones and he couldn't block it.Jason held him as he rolled, making Jones to roll on alongside. They rolled down the hill, the world flipping and flipping

J-kill and Paul ran into an unknown direction, paving through the dense forest. As they stormed through the forest, it morphed into a large open space, cluttered with rocks of different sizes. Paul had no idea about where they were headed, he just had to follow J-kill like a puppet.“Com'on, we're getting close.” J-kill beckoned and started running towards an unpaved road surfaced with gravel. The more they get closer, the more a noticeable grin masked Paul's face. For more than three years, he had never felt such a tender joy.“Is that it?” Paul asked when they stopped running.“Yes! That's our way out. We're out of this forest. Woah,” J-kill yelled.With Paul's eyebrows scrunched up, he asked, “you know about this escape route all these while?”“I think I do, I just don't remember the way. I had to think.” He answered and walked briskly towards the gravel road. They wandered through the road, though J-kill wasn't feeling hopeful, Paul was consumed with zestfulness, that he was fina

“This is FBI, you're completely surrounded, Surrender now!” Came a voice from a megaphone as they close on Jones and the rest of the prisoners, who were still alive. They didn't expect everything to turn out this way, the deaths and everything happening was never close to what Jones planned.Jones and the escaped prisoners were taking cover with the stolen car, while the FBI agents were closing on them from both side. If they should keep running at the open space that lead to the forest, there's a high chance they won't make it there without getting shot.And there is no other option better than surrendering, and Jones wasn't ready to go back to prison. If they are caught as it seems like, they might not get thrown into Atlad prison again. What fate awaits them?“Does that mean, I will be thrown into the same prison as my brother? Is he even in any prison? Why is it not known to public! Dammit,” Jones doesn't know what to believe anymore. He was having mixed feelings and feeling bad w

A Boeing 747 flew over and landed safely on the helipad. The cool mist splashed Melvin Otani's face as he walked out through the door of the jumbo jet.The roaring sound of the jet engine rushed through his ear as the door to the plane shoved open.Hundreds of men in suits fell into a line immediately the door of the jet was open, they had a badge attached to their suit.The badge on their suit was an indication of loyalty to Melvin Otani. Once the loyalty of a recruit is perceived to be without pretense and remorse, they are accepted to serve.While they were anticipating his presence, Joan and five burly men, stepped out. Melvin was behind them, walking in a lordly manner as usual.The whole building, attached to the helipad, was owned by Melvin Otani and no intruder has been able to invade the location. Even the government still doesn't have any idea about Melvin's movement. He comes into the country and leave like the ghost he was. The walking living ghost as known by everyone.“W

Melody briskly walked out of the brick building. It was an old building that had an undeniable serenity. The fusty nosegay of age and quietness embraced her as she walked through the environment.There were drawings imprinted on the walls of the building, but they all seemed to have faded away along the design layers.Despite its deteriorated state, the whole building and the environment had the peace the other world craved.“Hey Melody,” Ramon waved at her and walked towards her.“How's your man, uhm…Chris?” She asked without staring at him. She felt bad and didn't like how she was feeling despite being in a safe place. She tried comforting herself that all seemed to be fine, but she was merely betraying her true feelings.“Oh, Yeah, he's getting better.” He exhaled heavily, before throwing the question he had always wanted to ask since they got the news about Jones escaping. “Why did Jones hire you as his lawyer?”She hiked her head up and stared in surprised at him. She never expec

Jones and the other escaped prisoners were still running at a fast pace through the woods. They are tired, sweaty and breathing heavily. “I knew it. I knew it will get to this. Everything is just fucked up.” Kenny said, slowing down his pace.“I never wanted to join the escape. I—I… I really don't want any of this.” Kenny stammered, trying to catch his breath. He was clearly close to despair. With that, Jones and the other prisoners stopped running.“How long are we going to keep running?” Paul asked out of frustration.Everyone was tired and frustrated. They trusted Jones' plan, but it seemed like everything was going south. They got found before, and they believe the police will find them again if they don't get out of the woods now.Jones had to deploy a new escape plan the very moment he found out that his brother was not in Atlad prison. So his former plan had a means of getting them out of the woods with ease, but since they weren't using his initial plan, it was going to be d
