140. A setup
The elevator doors slid shut in front of Raina She pressed the button Leon had instructed: OM The panel lit up, but the floor numbers didn’t match The elevator went down Deeper than the lobby, deeper than the basement She was confused, she had never been in an elevator that went down from the ground floor The hum of machinery grew louder The light dimmed slightly, her hand tightened on the diamond card She remembered Leon’s calm voice when he gave her the card The doors opened A cold, antiseptic scent hit her first Then the sight Military-grade screens lined the walls Encrypted terminals blinked in silent rhythm Men and women in dark suits walked past, armed but quiet Live feeds streamed across massive monitors She stepped inside slowly, was she in another universe? Her heels clicked against the polished floor, her pulse quickened This was not normal Now she understood, this was Omnipower Omnipower didnt have a physical location known to the public, but here she w

Her jaw tig

143. The war won’t start tonight
The Vorene’s mansion front door closed behind him Leon did not look back again The Ferrari sat inside the compound Shiny, loud and proud Meanwhile his Avalon waited at the car park It was an old painted car and quite engine The same car Charles had called “rackety” earlier Leon walked to it, he opened the door and sat inside The left the engine and the light was off Just beside, was his laptop, he turned it on A blue glow filled the car, it reflected on the windshield and on his calm face His jaw was tight, that was not anger it was calculations Something he had never seen coming but he was now interested in it Council connected to Kendra and the Don He knew already that the police department could be compromised He opened the OmniPower interface an dashboards flickered. A message popped up. : BOSS ARE YOU FREE TO TALK NOW? Leon typed back. : Yes, put me through The line connected immediately Jake’s voice came in, low and steady “Wha
144. Unit 9
In a dimly lit room with a long table at the middle Their was a black glass surface and a minimal light On that table were seven seats One screen glowing at the center All seven of them had no names, there faces was clearly shown Only silhouettes and voices Silence stretched at first Then a feminine Ai voice sounded “Terry Ferdinand is in custody” There was no reaction “He is sloppy-he let the case linger too long” someone on the table added “How about Kendra?” Another person on the table asked “Contained-she has refused to comply with the investigators, I believe she is scared” the Ai voice responded “She knows the consequences of complying too well” another let out a small laugh “So far, there was not been any evidence except the anonymous leak of Kendra’s confession-but about some minutes ago Chief Sandra reported an external interference in the city’s shipment log” the Ai voice briefed the table “The shipment routes?” Another on the table asked
145. You are surrounded
As the Avalon car rolled in the air, the glass shattered Leon’s head slammed against the roof Pains surging in his head as darkness clawed the edges of his vision Blood ran from his lip Jake’s voice broke the black “Boss? You’re alive-status?” Leon groaned, his ears ringing and his vision clearing “I am alright” he groaned in pains Leon looked around the car, the broken windshield and twisted doors The Avalon was wrecked, nevertheless he was alive Outside the car shadows moved Men dressed in tactical gear, armored and silent It was not random This was an ambush, it wasn’t even the first time he was being ambushed in a car He was sick of it, there were other cooler things they could do? This time it wasn’t one man like Drogo, this time they were team Leon knew one thing for sure, they were Valen’s capture team and they wanted him alive Leon’s jaw tightened, every of his breath calculated as he regained his energy Every muscles was ready now, he reached for t
146. About to kill
There he was sitting arms crossed, his back leaning on the wall The Don- Terry Ferdinand It was not up to twenty four hours since his arrest, he couldn’t stand being locked up One thing he knew was his people were definitely trying all means to get him out of the prison The don tapped his foot on the floor losing his last remaining patient Why the delay for his release? He had the connections, the money, the power There was nothing that couldn’t get done with those three forces If it hadn’t been for Kendra’s audio record, he wouldn’t be locked up in the first place Also, if it hadn’t been for Detective Raina too One thing he did was to underestimate a woman like her She had outsmarted him She followed his directions diligently to get back her son and boom, she had another plan up her sleeves The next thing, he was being lead out of the warehouse in cuffs That was the golden moment to end everything With Kendra dead and him no where to be found, the case would
147. A new narrative
A penthouse has its curtain drawn The city lights spill into his penthouseThere at the chair sat Zayn, looking as his followers reducing drastically He was still awake His one night stand woman sat on the bed scrolling through her phone while half watching him, half bored tooZayn’s laptop was opened, he was a thorough search for Leon’s profile pageEmpty, that man was not on any social media Just then his began to ring, it was an unknown number Zayn answered without greeting “Yes”The tech guy spoke fast “Sir. We dug deeper”Zayn leans back on the chair “And?”“This man has no childhood history”Silence stretched “No school records” the tech guy continued Zayn’s eyes narrowed “No early tax filings” he said again “No hospital birth registry in the major states”The woman looked up now from her phone Zayn spoke slowly “Meaning?”The tech guy swallowed“Meaning he didn’t exist before this year”The room went quiet, then the air changed “That’s creepy” The woman whispersZayn
148. Another target
Back at Unit 9, medical centerThe white light above flickered once, then it stabilized“The Council sends their regards” The guard’s words settled in the airThe words were heavy and cold that it made the Don freeze However, he did not shout or panic yet He was still, his eyes sharp as he was thinking and calculating He studied the guard for a brief second, this was not a joke The guard didn’t look angry neither was he excited, he looked like a man who pretty much wanted to do his job and be out of there He only had a look of certainty, that was worse“What do you mean the council sends their regards?” The Don’s voice was flat “They were suppose to manipulate things so I get bail to leave here”The guard didn’t blink“You are a prison guard and I demand answers!” The don half shouted “You think the Council would dirty their hands with prison guards?”The ego of the man was visible “They won’t-I am not a prison guard” the guard replied “I am Tega, one of the council hitman”Th
149. A bigger monster
In the alley, Leon stood in the dark observing Jake’s voice panicked from the comms “Boss incoming. They’re not sending soldiers. They are sending Valen’s personal team” Leon’s eyes narrowed “Good. Let’s see if he is ready” “Boss! You can’t outnumber them, they are many” Jake panicked “You are not armed” Then Leon replied with a calm lethal voice “I don’t have to be armed to kill” Jake almost choked through the comms. “Boss, they are everywhere! Eight below. More on the balconies. Drones overhead. This is not a warning. This is a cage!” Leon doesn’t move, he closed his eyes Then breathed in and breathed out Footsteps were getting louder Leon opened his eyes On the left side, three men were defensively walking closer On the right side were metal scrape, safety off Above him, the drone hummed, sweeping the area “Valen is getting desperate” Leon said quietly. One of Valen’s men shouted “Leon Draven! We know you are here, Valen only wants to talk” Leon s
