199. Mingling Politics and Business
Governor Du Mont was still awake, enjoying a nice scotch, when the message flashed on his screen, leaving him baffled and curious.He had heard all about the accident and how it had sent Alex into a coma. But a text from his personal number quickly roused his interest.If it were anyone else, Governor Du Monte would have ignored such a wild request without even giving it a second thought. But he knew that turning down Alex was never a good idea.***At half past one, Governor Du Monte arrived at the hospital, and Captain Williams escorted him in through the emergency exit to shield him from the eager reporters, who were still camping in their news vans, waiting for the next twist.As the Governor walked into the private cabin on the third floor, he was surprised to see Alex sitting there completely unfazed.He simply couldn’t imagine anyone recovering from such a terrible crash so quickly.“I saw your car crumpled up like a pack of cigarettes. It was all over the news,” the Governor b
198. Killer or Philanthropist?
Henry Pietersen had crossed the last line by hiring two assassins to take out Alex inside the hospital. And it was the last mistake Alex had been waiting for.Now that Alex knew exactly who it was behind the whole plot of getting him killed, he was prepared to take matters into his own hands and return the favor in kind.Throwing off his hospital gown, Alex slipped into a muscle t-shirt and gray jeans and grabbed a tactical pistol from Captain Williams before heading right for the stairs.Two fully armed attack choppers were hovering over the hospital, packed with elite commandos from the Phantom Division, a squad of highly trained stealth operatives who excelled at covert ops.Alex was just about to head up the stairs when a voice yelled at him, arresting his footsteps.“Where on earth do you think you are going?”Stopping in his tracks, Alex turned to his left to find Dr. Lucy marching up the corridor with a digital notepad in hand.“You shouldn’t even be out of bed, and here you ar
197. The darkest night
Concealed by the darkness, the two masked rogues moved like shadows, making their way straight up the corridor.“Hey, who is it?” One of the guards standing near the cabin door yelled out. “Identify yourself!”“This is a restricted area!” His companion shouted, preparing to pull out his gun.But even before they could draw their weapons, the assassins marching across the corridor shot them in their heads with suppressed pistols, taking them down.Still maintaining complete silence, the assassins communicated with hand signals as they walked up the corridor and approached the private cabin.Stepping over the dead guards, they stacked up on each side of the door and looked at each other.Counting down to three, the masked assassins pushed the doors open with perfect coordination.The cabin was still dark since the power was out, save for the moonlight streaming through the glassy window panes.Seeing the bed made up and the duvet pulled over Alex’s head, the assassins grinned.“Just lik
196. Counter Play
Phillip’s ploy of getting Henry drunk had worked perfectly, securing a new deal with his company. Now, he had direct access to the airport project and had officially become his most trusted business partner.As soon as Phillip was back in his car, he called up Alex, informing him about his recent success.“Mr. Pietersen has agreed to let me be a part of his airport project. I feel he trusts me now.”Alex listened closely and then replied in a low and serious voice, “Well done, Phillip. I never doubted your abilities. But now, you must dig deep into his construction project. Find out all about the building permits, land deeds, and safety licenses. All I need is one chink in that armor to bring him down.”“It will be done. Just give a couple of days.”***The next morning, while the cops were preparing to bring Dan Horowitz to court for his second hearing, a couple of men showed up at his ex-wife’s rented house.Penelope hurriedly opened the door, still getting ready to go out for the h
195. The art of deception
Only a handful of people knew that Alex had not only survived the accident but also recovered from all his injuries by now.Dr. Lucy, Samantha Atkins, Rachel Dawson, Captain Williams, and Josiah Warrington were among the select few who were allowed to enter the VIP cabin in which Alex was being kept under observation.Apart from these trusted ones, the only others who were aware of Alex’s current condition were the three doctors attending to him, and they had sworn to maintain complete secrecy.Even though it had been 36 hours since Alex had been admitted to the Warrington Memorial Hospital, the buzz of cameras hadn’t stopped for a minute.The hospital was still surrounded by a swarm of curious reporters, eagerly awaiting the next update on their big scoop.It didn’t matter whether Alex lived or died, since even the untimely and tragic death of a billionaire was a story worthy enough to make it to the front page of every newspaper.While some prayed for Alex’s swift recovery, others l
194. Virus in a haystack
Dr. Lucy’s alarming words would have stirred panic in anyone else, but Alex had faced worse and survived.Instead of losing his calm, he continued in the same measured voice, “Someone knew about the God Serum, and maybe they also knew that I was going to use it on myself. We need to find who it was.”“How can you remain so calm after what I just told you?” Dr. Lucy raised her voice, straining her throat. "The God Serum could potentially kill you!”“I survived a bioweapon attack before. I think I can handle a tampered serum,” Alex replied. “You forget that I am not like the others. It will take more than an impure serum to kill me.”“There is something else as well,” Dr. Lucy’s voice cracked as she continued.“What?”“You weren’t the only one who received the God Serum.”“What do you mean?” Alex immediately became worked up. “Did you conduct clinical trials on people?”“No…It was just Jakob…”“Jakob?” Alex bawled. “How the hell is he involved in this?”“I gave him the God Serum to make
