Chapter 11
Macleod hadn’t seen his parents since arriving in Horki. Adan had been the first face he’d seen, and somehow that had turned into stumbling onto a murder case. Some welcome. He decided it was time to go home, since Phillips’ funeral was drawing near and his mother had been discharged from the hospital. He stood outside the house for a moment, just looking at it. The truth was, he’d never felt much love within those walls. Ever since Swart’s promotion out of the training center, he’d grown distant from his family — his children most of all. It always felt like he cared more about the dead trainees than the living ones under his own roof. He slipped inside and wandered into the kitchen, where Hannah stood at the counter, chopping onions and crying. He smiled, remembering how she used to tell him and his sister to stare at cut onions because it was good for the eyes. “Mama,” he said, wrapping his arms around her from behind. “Oh my gosh!” she gasped, spinning around. “You still chop
Chapter 12
Stephany greeted Adan with a “good morning” and a hot cup of coffee, but Adan wasn’t in the mood for kindness. Nada’s case had already put him on edge, and the club incident had only made things worse. He couldn’t walk through the CIA station without feeling every agent’s eyes on him, quietly convinced he was incompetent. Stephany’s smile and paper cup felt less like courtesy and more like a distraction from piling on more work. “What’s good about it?” Adan asked flatly. “Sir, I’ve done nothing but welcome you while everyone else treats you like an outcast. The least you could do is be civil,” Stephany said. “Did I ask you to be nice? Don’t bother being different. Treat me like everyone else does.” “Guess that explains why you were never raised right,” Stephany muttered. “What was that? Did you finish the research on Blaze?” Adan snapped. “Yes, sir. Here’s what I found,” Stephany said, tossing the coffee cup into the trash and handing over a stack of documents. “What am I lookin

Nada had been right. With Phillips’ funeral consuming their attention, the Swarts barely thought of Daisy. Like Macleod, she’d never been especially close to the family and was rarely home. When she told them she’d be staying at school an extra month, they simply filed it away and moved on, planning to deal with her return later. In the meantime, Macleod’s biggest concern was finding the right tie for his father. The funeral had finally arrived, and Swart was on edge — there was every chance his murderer would show up and make a scene. “Dad, relax. Your tie’s perfect. Mom’s going to love it,” Macleod said. “That’s not what’s bothering me. I just want to see Phillips and his family laid to rest,” Swart said. “I still can’t believe he’s really gone. Aunt Elisa too.” Macleod paused. “Anyway, I’ve gotta go — Adan and I are heading to the church together.” “Just make sure you beat me there. And watch yourself around Adan. He’s the type to forget his friends the moment things get danger
Chapter 14
Nada and the girls were still on the floor laughing by the time she hung up with Adan. They’d caught every word of him ordering agents to trace the gun she’d mentioned, and they couldn’t believe how easily he’d swallowed the bait. “So — what gun are they actually chasing?” Nada asked. “Good thing that bug in Macleod’s phone caught the whole thing,” Blesse said, wiping her eyes. “Exactly. Perfect placement, if I do say so myself.” “They’re about to be so confused,” Fae said. “How so?” Nebula asked. “I bought the gun and ammo under Swart’s name. Used his address too. Then I walked right up to his front door and collected the delivery myself,” Fae said. “You absolute monster,” Nada said, delighted, and slapped her a high five. “Anyway — stay on plan. Don’t let how much we hate Swart pull us off course. There’s no plan B here.” “If we knew who the third accomplice was, we’d already be done with all of this,” Blesse said. “True. Let’s check on mother and daughter,” Nada said. The
Chapter 15
Both parties were planning for their attack during the great meet at the abandoned training center. Nada’s was to get the name of the third accomplice from Swart and the later was to get his wife and children out of her claws, alive.Nada sat in front of her mirror, properly wearing her bullet proof. She was going to need it because Adan and Benson were planning on coming at her with force. They weren’t going to be a laughing stock for the third time and thankfully, she knew of it.She threw on her black shirt and Mini walked in holding their radios in her hands. “Is there gonna be any need for the radios?” she asked“I don’t think so. We’d be together so there’s no need for it. It’s better not to leave anything behind when we’re trying to make our escape” Nada answeredFae walked in and placed a voice modifier on Nada’s throat. She was like a Queen who was been dressed up for an occasion.“You’ll be the one doing most of the talking so this way they wouldn’t recognize your voice no m

Adan was outraged at Swart. He felt he was trying to drag his Father into his mess. If not that why then would he mention him as an accomplice? He paced about angrily and turned around to give Swart a punch. Swart stumbled and fell and the agents had to hold Adan back. They thought he seemed to have forgotten that Swart was the Minister for Defense.Macleod held onto Adan as well, he was annoyed that his Mother and sister weren’t returned to them and they were being shot at and treated like dogs in front of the CIA and there was nothing they could do to help them.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” he asked“How dare you mention my Father as one of your accomplice? What the hell were you thinking?!” Adan yelled and tried to hit Swart again“Your Father is the cause of all this!” Swart said “You see this building? He was the one who suggested it’d be brought to the ground even though they were children in it. I was only trying to protect my family back then little did I know t
Chapter 17
Nada highlighted from the taxi in front of Portier’s international airport. She had gotten the information she need and now she was to return to Horki and set the place ablaze with it. She couldn’t believe she was going to have to go after Adan now that he was a relative to Robertson. Her plan was to finish Macleod off along with Swart if the next man wasn’t a diehard criminal like she had confirmed but now she had to put their execution on a hold and add Adan to the list. But since he was literally a fool for her it was going to be easy to get him.As she made to open the sliding door and board her plane, she saw the man she never had on her list. Francis. Was he the one Katherine was talking about when she told Nada to be careful of her own? He was from Bunya so technically he was her own and he had betrayed her and the girls or was he about to do it again?”“What’s he doing here?” she wondered and placed her voice modifier on her throat the pulled her hoodie over her head and walke
Chapter 18
Daisy and Hannah had begun to recover from their injuries but they had their doubts of ever going back home. Hannah at some point hated Swart for getting involved in such dirty activities as joining to kill young children when he had children of his own. She wanted to see reasons with Nada and the girls but they were killing innocent people as well. Like Elisa and Thelma, they didn’t take part in Philips’ dirty work but Nada killed them and was about to do the same to them. Worse, Daisy’s savage tongue wasn’t helping their situation.“Mom, are we ever gonna leave this place?” she asked“We might, if you try to keep shut and not anger Nada” Hannah said. The girl in the room with them had an AK-49 in her hand. They thought Nebula was a monster but they hadn’t seen anything then. Holding a pistol and holding an AK-49 was two different things. One was slightly monstrous and the other, monstrously monstrous.“Is Dad even looking for us? Is he really guilty of those things Nada said he did?
Chapter 19
Nada left Clybin Park to meet the girls but Macleod and Adan remained, engaged in a heated conversation. Macleod fully believed that his Daeva was indeed assaulted by Nada and Adan’s claim that she was Nada was nothing but bullshit, a means to push the blame on someone. He was trying to handle his family problems as well as getting Daeva to be in a relationship with him but after he had disturbed her when she was at work, Adan decided to add fuel to the fire by accusing her of being a murderer.Adan however, was so sure Nada was Daeva. Even if the only proof he had was the fact that she talked like Nada sometimes. Like the way she called everyone sweetheart or sugar and the whole vibe she gave off. He was sure she was the Nada everyone in the CIA dreaded. The CIA agents had begun to whisper amongst themselves about how they were going to back out from any plan Adan presented them in a bid to save his Father. After seeing how Nada worked and how scared Adan was to move and do anything
Chapter 20
Adan sat on the ground beside the dead bodies Nada had left. She had done her usual carnage and his Father was going to end up like Hannah and Daisy. He had his hands in his hair wondering what his next step in life would be. Lankan, one of the CIA agents who still had a little courage within them to face Nada, tapped him on the shoulders to draw his attention.“Sir” he called“Don’t Sir me you good for nothing!” Adan yelled and brushed him off“Leave them be Adan” George said. He heard his Father’s voice and lifted his head, thinking his ears were playing tricks on him but George was indeed standing in front of him. Nada didn’t kidnap him like he had thought“Dad! You’re here. How did you….. She didn’t take you?” he asked“No, I don’t think she even knows who she’s after” George said“What do you mean? I definitely saw her take someone with her. Who was it then?” Adan asked“Stephany, Sir” Lankan said“What? Why would she do that?” Adan asked“Well, Stephany was protecting your Fath
