“Where is the Dragon General?” His name is being tarnished, and all his faithful followers are now joining the Professor to call for his head. Stephanie has been watching the news a lot of late, and she is not liking the reports at all. “Why isn't he coming out to defend himself?” She murmurs. Roman is on the bed with a cup of coffee in his hand. “You want him to?” She turns back to look at her husband. “Any sane person would. This is getting out of hand.” Roman doesn't say anything, but keeps on drinking his coffee, and this makes her even more anxious. She goes to sit with him on the bed and place a gentle hand on his knee. “Can't you speak to him, Roman? We are living in his house, I'm sure you will find a way to contact him.” Roman sighs as she stirs his cup. “He has kind of gone MIA, Stephanie. I mean, he has been named a wanted person.” “By the Professor himself?”Roman nods. He knows that she wants to help, but he has to convince her that there is nothing he can do ab

A vial of antibiotics drops from Stephanie's hand and crashes to the ground. Willow is over the phone, telling her a very terrible news. “The Professor, under his new military authority, asked for the house to be evacuated immediately.” Willow says. “We can fight them off, ma'am. We can stop this nonsense.” “Where is my husband?! Is he aware of what's happening?!” “His number isn't going through, ma. So is that of our direct Captain, Carmen.” Willow says. Stephanie's heart is beating like a crazy drum. She doesn't want to have to tell her daughter that they are homeless now. That's her worst nightmare. She takes an excuse from the hospital and drives down to the house with a very crazy speed. The sight of the bulldozers, the soldiers in uniform, scares her out of her mind, but the military trained servants that Roman brought in come very handy today. They have been vigorously trained by the dragon general himself, while these new soldiers were hurriedly recruited to serve the

Nothing John Kent can say prevents him from being viciously thrown into prison. A shocked Stephanie is still sitting in the office, struggling to digest everything that she has heard. The worker walks back in with a smile on his face. “Hope you are comfortable, Mrs Croft?” He asks her. “Do you need some water? I'm sure you are tired after all the mistreatment that you suffered in the hands of that stupid man.” The slight pain she feels is nothing compared to the shock she is feeling right now. She scratches her head and leans forward. “Mister…” “Desmond. Desmond Luke.” He tells her. “Mister Luke, I'm sorry, but I have to ask this question. Were you joking when you said that I own that house? Or when you said that the dragon general sold it to me for a dollar? Did you manipulate the records just to throw John Kent into jail?” Desmond laughs and turns his laptop so that she can the informations proudly being displaced on the screen. “Mrs Croft, my job is a very serious one, an

The Professor is actually indifferent about the Kents being unable to seize the property that Roman and his family lives on. He may be a very wicked man, but he didn't give the word to the Kents just because he wanted to see Roman and his family homeless. It was a trap to force the dragon general out of hiding, but it fell through. The good thing is that it wasn't the main plan, so it's not that important. He has travelled down to the country capital, Raviss, to see the president personally. The president of the country is a puppet of a man that is ready to do the biddings of every rich person that lines his pocket with millions of dollars. The dragon general was the one who kept him in check, but since he has disappeared, the man now feels like a free bird. But irrespective of what has happened, he has been trying to get into contact with the Professor for some time now, but for some personal reason, the Professor has refused to pick up his calls. Now, he has just randomly de

Roman eyebrows pull together when he sees that the President has managed to recognize him through his eyes alone. This confession makes everyone stop as Jerry points at him. Roman clears his throat and decides to clean up this situation, before it turns into a bigger mess. “I'm quite honoured, Mister President, maybe it's because I'd been in the army for a while. I was here once, but I was a mere driver that drove the vehicle that..” “You were here with the dragon general.” The President says. Roman nods. “Worked and trained under him, Mister President.” The President smiles and drops his hand down. The Professor snorts. “And now he is my bodyguard. What has that got to do with anything?” President Jerry takes a file and starts to write out an order for his assistant. “It's alright, Anthony, I will ask for my team to prepare for a press briefing, and you will have your heart's desire.” The Professor stands up with a big smile on his face. “Do you see how easy things can get

Oksana can't sleep, she can't do anything. This country is going nuts, the Professor is now the head of the military? That only means that this place will get just hotter and hotter for her and her son. Even with that, she is very determined to keep him here. Alex is very happy in his new school, and he and Athena's friendship has grown so much, she doesn't want to hurt him by tearing them apart. She also has to speak to Stephanie, but she has decided that it's until she makes peace with herself. She puts a call through to Jackson, in the bathroom, where she knows that her son won't hear. “Hello, baby mama.” “Don't call me that, that's disgusting!” She rebukes him. “Well, someone is not in a good mood today.” “I need to see you.” she says. “It's very important.” “Great. Maybe your friend, the Doctor, can watch Alex and you come down to the island to see me.” He says, and this doesn't pleases her at all. “What the hell are you talking about?! Your brother has just become th

Early the next morning, Stephanie is very exhausted after a very long time in the operation theater. She has just sat down when she is informed that someone has been waiting in the reception to see her. “A patient?” She asks. “No, she claims that she is your friend. Oksana.” “Oksana!” Stephanie immediately stands up to her feet. She hasn't seen her friend in a while, and she misses her. Even though they've been really awkward with each other.” She finds her in the reception, standing and biting her nail as she walks up and down. As soon as they see each other, it seems like the whole world has come to a stop for them. “Stephanie.” Oksana says at the verge of tears. The two women hug and a few tears are immediately shedded. The ego has been broken between them. Stephanie immediately takes her friend's hands and starts to examine her body. “Are you hurt? Did you break something? Is that why you are at the hospital?” She asks anxiously. “No,” Oksana laughs. “I'm here to say

Alex and Athena jump up on their feet as soon as they see Oksana. They hi five each other and do a happy dance. Oksana is the fun parent that gives them all the ice cream and cookies they want. Stephanie, on the other hand, would rather stuff them with fruits and vegetables. She steps out of the car completely exhausted as she takes their bags with a smile. “Alright, who is ready to go home?” She asks. “Alex will be having his tablet back and you guys can watch all the cartoons you want.” “Cool!!” Athena grins. “We are having a sleep over!” As soon as she gets the kids into the car, she sights Willow standing in the distance. Hands folded. She takes her phone and calls the number that Stephanie gave her. Willow picks up. “Hello?” “I spoke to your bosses already, I will be having Athena for the rest of the day.” “That doesn't mean anything. I'm a private bodyguard to her.” Willow insists. “I know you may not like it, but I will have to follow you around.” “Please, don't,” Ok

Isaiah's eyes glisten with joy and relief when the elevator doors slide apart and he sees Roman. “Thank you for coming, to be honest, I thought that you would never come,” he sighs. It's true. Since he told Roman that bizarre thing about Sandra Kenton still being alive, Roman has refused to call or contact him. It's true that there hasn't been any reference to the dragon general, but Roman is being very cautious with everyone. They are all looking for favors from the Professor, since it's evident that he is becoming closer to getting his hands on the presidential seat. This is the Kenton household, at the highest floor that no one but the family members and two of their oldest and most trusted servants are allowed on. That's where Sandra Kenton has secretly been kept. Roman is literally the first outsider to be allowed in here, and even with that, Isaiah is very nervous. “You said that Sandra Kenton is still alive.” Roman says. “I have been hoping that you misspoke, since a p

When Oksana gets to the house, she makes sure to put the car in the garage and ask the kids to go inside. She serves them their food, and turns on the television to keep them occupied to the maximum. When she is sure that they won't bother her, she goes back to the garage and shuts the door after her. She sits in a corner, staring hard and long at the booth as she lights a cigarette. She smokes the entire thing and when she is ready, she goes to open the booth and the eyes of the dead man stare back at her. “To hell with this,” she mutters as she shuts it back. She has killed a lot of men by poisoning, and the good thing about this was the fact that they never died immediately. They would stumble back to their wives, complain of a headache, and die by convulsion right after. The good thing about it was that she never had to clean up. Never. Now she understands why the good Madame who trained her, taught her to be very efficient with knives and guns, but she always insisted th
