Barely twenty-four hours later, a staff member of Liverpool Anti-Fraud Crime Commission tracked his foot into an office with his eyes darting with caution.

His cell phone was on an active call with another staff member in the building.

He mouthed without delay, “I’m at the door. What should I do next?”

“Good. The first code is 445781. You mustn't make a mistake, or the security alarm would be triggered, and you know the implications.”

He nodded in acknowledgment, drew a deep breath before inputting the code numbers like his ears grasped.

He indulged further, “It’s showing receiving authorization. Would the code work? Would the security alarm get triggered by chance?”

His words dripped with a mix of caution and curiosity. He nudged his ear closer to the cell phone for a response.

“Stay calm I've got this. I suspected the office door would have an advanced security trigger alarm so I’d advise you to input a code that ensures we extract the secret code.”

The staff member did as he was to

    Escobar chipped in, expecting a call from the assassins, “Good. You got him on your palm girl.”Dante tried not to wear his jealousy on his face for obvious reasons. He felt he was missing something about Lucia dumping him for Johnson Brentford, Mr. Montoya.He felt there was more behind Lucia’s decision that she hadn't told him about. The rejection happened rather quickly, and he was yet to shake it off.Escobar chimed in once again, “The law enforcement hasn't got further concrete evidence to tie your neck around the rope. They knew it'd be a long battle to have you arrested if they failed to garner enough incriminating proof against you.”“Thankfully, the stupid disloyal assassin who mentioned your involvement is dead and wouldn't testify against you in court if there were trials.”Lucia sighed in relief as Escobar's words felt therapeutic. Those were the same words her husband whispered to her ear while vowing his undying support.Did Achilles make the wrong decision in eliminatin

  • 74: Only If She Knew

    After Victor Escobar’s call conversation with one of the assassins which was on a loudspeaker.Lucia Montoya waved a hand across to spill a word. The executive heads of the cartel threw her a complicated stare.Their blood boiled hot with utter displeasure at how everything they had plotted after the failed Prime Minister's assassination scheme had gone south.Since the phone call, the room had been flushed with awkward silence with their faces contorted with deep concern.It was looking like the universe had arisen to distort anything they did. They pondered what's so hard in apprehending a young lady in over ten minutes of car chase.Lucia Montoya still parted her lips for words, “If it were the butchered assassins on this job, Dora would have been caught already.”On reflection, they shot a weird gaze at her once more. Victor Escobar tried keeping his composure from scolding the hell out of her.Those were the least words they expected, and coming from her, screamed all shades of w

  • 73: Dora's Ticking Clock

    Brig. Beauty tightened her grip on Margaret's shoulders at the sound of Anthony’s full explanation. She wrapped her hands firmly on her while she dripped in hot tears.It was a gesture of acknowledgement that she was harsh on Anthony and that none of what was happening was his fault. She could have handled her emotions better and remembered he was also in a panic state.The Faithfuls narrowed their eyes in muffled admiration of how smart Anthony was in activating future cautionary measures.For a moment during the panic rollercoaster, the Faithfuls forgot he was an experienced investigator and one of the ways to stay alive in the work was by having survival instincts.Achilles mouthed, “Alright, that's it. Send in the tracker’s coordinates. Like right now.”The call ended.Anthony’s hands quivered as he nodded about to do as the warlord commanded.He mumbled countless positive prayers under his breath, hoping the rescue mission went as successfully as his. Dora could be stubborn; he h

  • 72: Not Jumping The Gun

    Brig. Beauty's chest almost leaped to her throat while yelling at Investigator Anthony Jordan.Dora Beauty was the only family she had, and if by the slightest chance something messy happened to her tonight, then hell would surely break loose.She had been protective of Dora from her childhood era— she didn't only play the role of an older sibling but that of a parent, regardless of the four-year age difference.The crossfire of the illegal business investigation had taken a toll on her. The last time it was Anthony, and with no break, her little sister has become a target.“I-I’m sorry!”Anthony’s voice dripped with cracks. He feared that if he didn't at least make a statement, the undisclosed apartment he was in could quiver from the rage of Rachael's voice.All she wished was to hear her little sister's annoyingly beautiful voice once again.Anthony found his voice back, “Earlier, we had a conversation, and she mentioned meeting our wedding planner, which I frowned at. I told her i

  • 71: Why Leave The Damn Apartment?

    Brig. Beauty snapped her fingers as Margaret's words resonated with what she had in mind.Brig. Scott chimed in, “That would be one hell of a plot if that's the situation. Why would they wait this long and act like they don't already have their nudes?”Achilles nodded and couldn't deny that Margaret made a good point about the present situation. Anything was possible.He indulged them, “I must admit that would be a killer move if the blackmailers decide to keep mute and not make any threats yet.”“However, a week is enough for them to decide on how to move. It's either that they're in a blind spot about what happened on that fateful day in the deceased house alongside the gunned-down assassin, or they are indecisive.”Achilles clicked his lips, still had more to say:“These guys are blackmailers and would have threatened us if they had those nudes. Similar cases had befallen several booming enterprises in England. The sudden change of partnership, ownership, and outrageous possession

  • 70: Brewing Storm

    Achilles and Brig. Stones had been on the camera privacy invasion case for a while and it hasn't been a smooth path.A and H Luxury Dior female staff had expressed their complaints about the situation, asking questions about why the deceased female staff member, whom they had embraced as a friend, would do such a thing to them.Achilles advised George while in office, he shouldn't spill all details about the incident that occurred the day the female staff died, given the fact that there should be an insider who had a tail on the deceased young girl.Achilles also instructed him to assure the staff members that everything was under control but ensure they were in the dark about the recovered flash drive.Failure of that would most likely trigger more panic among the female staff members and also give the insider a heads-up on what was on the ground.The least the staff members should know was about the death of a second party which Achilles was certain the external contractors should a
