Marcus, Rachel, Micah and Elias got down from their respective cars and walked into the precinct where the evidence Marcus had promised was waiting in Coleman’s safe of personally kept evidence. Marcus looked around to make sure that they weren’t being watched and when he was sure that the coast was clear he entered into the building with the rest of his family.Some officers stood up at the mere sight of almost all the Wei family entering the precinct. It had never happened. At least, not after they had been here asking for help to find their son Marcus in the past. It was a rare sight as most of them knew that this family liked to handle their businesses on their own most times and if they were all here at the same time then something wrong was going on. The officers greeted them as they walked by and as Marcus led them straight to Eric Coleman’s office. The same man his uncle had introduced him to.“Who is it?” Coleman shouted out as he heard a rap on his door. The door opened up

Marcus had made the necessary arrangements to have Lori and her family relocated abroad. He also had his mind set on sending Rachel with them after his encounter with his uncle the afternoon of the kidnapping, but Rachel had opted to stay back and she was adamant about it. He sighed as he sat down in his office as he wondered why she was being so stubborn and wouldn’t allow him to protect her. Oh, that’s right, he already knew why. She had already told him her reasons but still she had to know that she was in danger because his uncle would do anything to get to him. He couldn’t have her still in the house with that man.Apart from sending Lori to safety and having a mild fight with Rachel about taking her to safety also, the police; specifically, Eric, the chief and Callum the detective had done their part in contacting the officers in Italy to help them with the security issue. When the officers over there were informed that a Wei would be paying them for the job, they jumped at the

“Another thing. I need that laptop back. It’s important that I get it back.” Marcus said as he turned back to the smirking men, wanting to get one thing straight. That laptop was still important. One of them shook his head. “We can’t. We still need to get paid by our previous employer.” He said, a small sneer forming on his face. “Do you still want me to pay you or do you want nothing?” Marcus slightly threatened. “What do we tell him when he asks?” Green eyes asked. Marcus rolled his eyes as he couldn’t believe that these men were able to kidnap people in broad daylight and not be caught but can’t lie to save their own lives. It was truly unbelievable. It was a let down. “Tell him that you got the evidence and destroyed it. As for me, let him know that you couldn’t kill me. I went straight to the police while the girls came over here and did the exchange themselves. Assure him that you’ll keep on trying and soon enough, you’ll have me killed.”The men glanced at one another bef

Those green eyes stared back at Marcus, Rachel and Lori menacing and ready to pounce. The man who Marcus could see clearly now, smirked at him, taunting him with that sly grin. Marcus had a feeling that this meeting was probably going to end up with someone dead since the man was purposefully going to kill him before. He could smell the bloodlust from the man.“Calm down. I’m not here to kill you. We need to take care of this business first and then I can finally end your life maybe later.” The green-eyed man spoke out, placing one hand on his waist. “Who ordered you to do this?” Marcus asked, getting a bit on edge as the man and his two partners edged closer to them.“Who ordered me to do what exactly? I have a lot of employers.” He retorted, toying with Marcus. “You know what I mean. Who asked you to kidnap those people and try to kill me?” Marcus asked him more clearly, not in the mood for fun and games. The green-eyed man waved his hands in the air.“Whoa, whoa, whoa. I’m not h

Marcus left the mansion in a hurry with the new found knowledge that his uncle had been watching him. It irked him as he got into his car wondering how long Eric's spying had been going on. He knew that there were cameras at every inch of the mansion but he didn’t think that his uncle would be keeping such a close eye on him. Now that Lori's family had been taken by Eric, of that he was sure, he had no choice but to turn in the evidence that they had just uncovered. It was annoying that Callum was right to say the least, but he couldn't risk having anything bad happen, especially to Lori's little brother. She would never recover from that and he would blame himself explicitly. Marcus swerved through the streets trying to decide whether to go to the police station and tell Callum what had just happened or to go straight to a place he knew could disable the cameras of his prying uncle without being noticed.As he made his next turn he noticed that a car turned with him. It wouldn't ha

Marcus successfully got Rachel on his side after he took his time to explain what was really happening. He had pulled her into his room, Lori too and re-explained everything to the both of them also while showing Rachel the pictures that Lori had brought to further prove his point to her. At the end of his talk, Rachel blushed, extremely ashamed of the behavior she had shown when she thought that something else was going on when she saw the both of them together. She had gone through a rough time with Davon and although she and Marcus weren’t romantically involved, she didn’t want another ruined relationship that would be based on lies. She wasn’t sure that she could take that again. “Oh, I see.” She uttered, bending her head a little and staring at the ground while Lori just stood there and rolled her eyes at the situation.“But now that we have this, we have to take it to the authorities and even if nothing can be done, we have to take matters into our own hands.” Rachel said, gett
