It was a food chain company, ever since the products started getting tampered with by their competitors production had to stop but the investors were not informed “For three months, there haven’t been any production, any supply-my money is in this company!” A round old man bald man all dressed in suit and tie angrily spoke “The company took a hiatus, like I said the CEO had here reasons for that and very soon operations would resume” a lady explained, she was the deputy CEO “The whole point of what you are trying to say is that this company is not trust worthy, one minute you are in business and another you are out?” “I didn’t say such” the pet

The security men exchanged looks between each other and then to Judy “What did you just say about a robbery attack?” Just when Judy was about to tell the security guard that Dante was the ex-convict that was on the news some weeks ago, she feared at how petty she could be. “Did you see this Mr Camry with a gun or something?” the security asked again as they seriously waited on Judy to say something, anything at all instead of leaving then wondering how a robbery attack would soon happen in the hospital “Uhh, my bad” Judy closed her eyes “I guess it’s dejavu or my screen time is getting too much” “You said a robbery attack was about to happen here-“ “It’s in the movies, my bad-I saw a movie yesterday, sorry to scare you both” Judy replied “You didn’t scare us” one of the security cleared his throat “You infact might be leading us on false information” “Look I barely even know that guy okay? I just met him today at the hospital although we go back from childhood, coinc

Dante ran down the stairs breathlessly, he took it two each jump when no one was looking or close sight, but when he saw someone walking up the stairs he pretended to be composed and walked down the stairs pretentiously. If should incase the officer looked at the CCTV there was every possibility he could have spotted him taking Theo’s name tag and even Judy’s keycard so he needed to leave the hospital as soon as possible, he already got what he needed, Quinn’s phone number. On the fourth floor, a security man was talking into a walkie talkie “A laboratory scientist disguise?” the person at the other side of the device replied “Over, clear fourth floor” The man turned to Dante who was standing to hear more, he glared at Dante like as if to ask why he was standing and looking at him like he saw a ghost. “May I help you?” The security man inquired “Uhh no” Dante stuttered, he swallowed down nervously as he made his way to continue walking down to the third floor “The tracke

Dante took stride with his very good legs like a laboratory scientist to the staff room, as he got to the door he fumbled for the key card he collected from Judy without her contest and the slot it on the door, it turned from red to green. Dante smiled from ear to ear, although it was hidden behind his nose mask he couldn’t hide his happiness as he did a happy dance move with his leg while he entered the room. The room was actually a room to other rooms, in fact Dante was very confused, he was never expecting to meet another door? Nevertheless he maintained his calm and walked through the quiet hallway as another staff approached him “Good day” she nodded as she passed Dante who was ensure of how to respond nodded likewise with a slight bow as he continued walking to where he didn’t even know. The door where closed and from his guess Judy key card could open any door, he was actually anticipating entering through the main door in the first place but that moment his heart began

Dante didn't know what exactly to say to the nurse standing in front of him, the other day she had been nice to him that was the reason for the flowers, chocolate and wine he had ordered for her and not because he had any ulterior moltive towards her. “Can I have your number please?” Dante asked in a gentle man style, his voice was charming, and he was handsome as well, his long hair alone made him an eye looker “Sure” the nurse took his phone and typed her number into his phone, then she gave it back to him, she had already saved it as “Judy” with love emojis. That’s right her name was Judy, It was just then that Dante recalled. “I would give you a call” Dante told her even so he made a mental note to not call at all, his love was already a mess and he need not involve her in it. “I would soon be done with my shift, could you wait a little let me round up then we can go have lunch” she asked politely “-together, please” she added right there Dante wanted to decline her request

Dante took slow strides limping into the hospital, the last time he was there his leg was really bad that he didn’t have to pretend to be limping. That day he was heavily disgraced and he even cried after the incident with Ellie and her mother accusing him of stealing her diamond necklace when it was Nurse Quinn who took it.Dante never knew he was in fact a very skilled pick pocket until hours ago when he took the herb, he was able to recall a memory from his past, now he was on the move and he had a plan.“Uhh I have a physiotherapy appointment today with my nurse” Dante lied to the receptionist“Uhh, hold on a sec” she paused as she typed on the laptop “Your name please and Hospital card?”“Dante Willow” he blurted, for the hospital card he had misplaced it “I didn’t bring it along with him, I was here last month receiving treatment, my leg suddenly started paining me this morning, that was why I rushed down here”The receptionist looked at him“You were assigned to nurse Quinn”

“Your son, he…he” his voice sounded like he was panicking Raina’s eyes widened “He what!?”Her heart skippedJake’s voice then came tight, controlled, cutting through her shock“He is seizing” Raina’s chest droppedThis was what she had been avoidingWhat she had dreaded every secondNow it was happening, when Victor was finally safe “We are already headed to the hospital.

The Don raised his hands, eyes wide Not in surrender, but disbelief. His mind was racing He hadn’t counted on Raina, on anyone outsmarting him this thoroughly “What’s the status. Do you copy?” he barked into his phone, to his men stationed at the primary location No responses They were supposed to be the watch guards now they were unreachable The Don’s men had their gun on Raina but she didn’t flinch this time She kept her aim locked, this time she knew she wasn’t alone, the police were approaching Most especially her son was safe Raina blurted out “Game is over!” Two of the Don’s men kept trying the doors for an escapee route for him but nothing Raina smiled just a little, at the Library raid the Don had slipped away This time Leon already knew he would do same so securing the exits was a very smart move The Don’s face twisted in fury at Raina’s word “I rule the game and I say when it’s over or not!” he shouted “I will make sure everyone here pays!” “Boss, it’s

Back in the warehouse, Raina’s neck burned where the Don’s man held herHer hands were forced behind her, gun wrestled from her gripHer pulse thundered as sweat rolled down her temple, but her mind raced with Leon’s voice in her ear.“Raina.

Raina didn’t blink, she was not one bit sorry so why should she apologize? She struggled to get air into her lungs, the man’s elbow was getting stiffer on her neckRaina kept struggling until her vision blurred from the hold, Until her pride wavered, then, a weak double blink escaped, but her face stayed sternThe Don’s lips curled into a slow, crue

Back in the warehouse, the smirk on the Don’s face was annoying to RainaHe took another step backward when clearly she had told him not to moveThe rage inside of Raina was boiling up, if she shoot the Don, his men would shoot at herRaina’s eye darkened with fear and furyIf she couldn’t get her son, if she couldn’t save him then what was the point?Her hands shook, the gun trembling in her grip“We might as well all die today!” Raina spat her eyes didn’t leave the Don, not for a second “The only person that was suppose to die is her” the Don pointed at Kendra who was standing there with her hands cuffed “You should have just killed me yourself instead of involving the detective and her son” Kendra spoke up “She caused this, she was digging into the case”“My partner, Harris had sleepless night for this case before he died, the last thing I promised him was to find the people behind it!” Raina said between clenched teeth “Now you found us didn’t you-this is the first shipment th
