Daniel winced at the sound of the smashing phone; his enlightened hearing sense made it sound like a bomb had just gone off. He moved away from the car as he tried to recover.His guess was spot on; he could only imagine how pissed the man on the other end of the line was. Finally, he was close; the person was in the same town as he was.He quickly got into his car and drove off to a secluded area, making sure Rexa had turned off all the street cameras along the routes he was using.He arrived at the abandoned warehouse and began dragging the men one by one inside. Two of them were already awake but were too weak to move. Daniel quickly tied their hands behind the chairs and ordered Rexa to completely drain the gas from their system.Soon all four men were awake.Daniel stood in front of them without hiding his face."Good evening, I apologize for interrupting your break-in," he said before getting right to the point and asking who sent them.The four men kept looking around in confus

The lead detective ordered the officers to take the criminals outside to the car."Where…where did you find them? What have they said? Those fools are working with Daniel Lane!" George kept yelling as he was taken first out of the room."Arrest that sewer rat! That idiot framed us!"Shelly, on the other hand, was taken aback; she had not expected the FBI to find the fake delegates, especially not when they were on Daniel's payroll. It did not make sense; she expected them to have disappeared halfway around the world.The puzzle was now confusing her; she had earlier thought she could read Daniel's moves, but she was wrong."Move!" One of the agents yelled, snapping her back to reality."Wait a minute, we are not dogs; we can be taken in as human beings," Shelly yelled.The officer ignored her and led her out of the house. To their shock, they found the entire neighborhood swamped with reporters and cameras. Some had jumped the fence and were at the doorsteps trying to get the first ph

Daniel watched the bullet in slow motion as it went straight for his shoulder. He felt a little piercing pain. He had prepared his sensory nerves for the pain making the impact bearable. His smile only got a bit wider making Michael want to shoot again, but the gun jammed, and all of a sudden the gun became too hot for his hands.He began tossing the gun in his hands, shock evident on his face. He could barely hold it in his hands.Outside the office, the sound of the gun was heard across the entire floor, forcing some workers to close their office doors while the security guards ran toward the sound of the gun.Inside, Michael quickly let go of the gun that had become too hot for his hands."What the fuck! What the fuck!" He kept screaming, his perplexed gaze fixed on Daniel, who was wearing an annoying grin.The security guards stormed in at the count of three, just in time for Daniel to get into his acting, wailing in pain as he tried to hide behind his chair."He shot me, he shot

Daniel sat on the outpatient bed, all bandaged up, having just given his lawyer instructions to make a deal with the Meyers. It was a tedious move, but the way things were going, he was worried that his plans would be derailed, especially if George's old partner decided to bail him out.Michael's desperate move to get rid of him was an opportunity too good to pass up.If everything went according to plan, he'd be able to complete his tasks in a matter of days.The door slammed open without a knock, jolting him back to reality.Kendall and her uncle took the same steps in, and Kendal ran straight into Daniel's arms."Oh, Daniel, are you all right?" She inquired.Daniel awkwardly sat on the bed, unsure whether to hug her back or not. "I am fine, please do not worry," he replied, trying to push her away. He felt she was holding him too tightly.Josh cleared his throat, forcing Kendall to let go of Daniel."We thought you were dead," he said."Yes, the social media reports were all saying

Daniel's lawyer quickly decided to leave the room so they could consider the offer, despite the fact that he could tell the family was opposed to the deal. He signaled their lawyer with five minutes at the top as he closed the door behind him."We are not taking the stupid deal!" George yelled.The lawyer folded her arms in irritation."Can I be honest with you?" She askedMichael looked up at her, he looked like he was the only one interested in hearing her proposal."You do not have money to pay for the lawsuits, Lidigo is dead, and you Michael will go to jail not because Daniel Lane has connections but because there are witnesses who saw you enter Daniel's office with a gun," she explained.Shelly brushed her hands into her hair; the lawyer was right, but Daniel wanting to exchange their freedom for a dying company was confusing her. There was something to it that they were not seeing. He practically destroyed the company; if it was the company that he wanted, there was no need fo

"Hello," Daniel said as his smile faded into a thin line of displeasure. "I heard only Shelly was visiting you, so I thought of visiting you as a former classmate," he mocked.Michael looked up at the watch on the wall; it was almost 10 p.m., not normal hours for a visitation."I have a friend who knows someone who works here," Daniel stated.Michael's breath became ragged; if there were no bars between them, he would have not hesitated to choke the life out of the idiot."I heard George is hanging on to that useless company in exchange for your freedom?" Daniel went on mocking him.There was silence, with Michael trying by all his means not to allow his anger to get a hold of him."You just have to say the word, and I will help you persuade your father to let go of the stupid company," Daniel offered.Michael looked up at him, his anger subsiding a bit. He began wondering if there was something wrong with Daniel. Any enemy would not trade a dying company for his enemies' rotting in j

Shelly tried to open her mouth, but Daniel interrupted her. "You will not be drugging him with that stupid LSD. I have something that is capable of not destroying his mind, but he would be institutionalized," he explained.Shelly was at a loss; the more she tried to understand Daniel's plans, the more confused she became. He was definitely playing with them dangerously. However, making George insane had a lot of disadvantages on her part and Michael's."Are you in?""Ain't you close to taking us to jail? Why take George to an institution and make us pay for his stupid crimes you framed us?" She snapped at him."I don't have to justify my decision to you, but rest assured that I will get you and Michael out of this shit," he promised.Shelly chuckled; she could not believe he thought she was that stupid."The only thing entangling you in this mess is your signature, and for Michael, I only have to drop the charges," he went on to explain.Shelly took a long look at him; he was serious.

Having made Shelly believe that he was out of the country, Daniel sat next to his aunt's bed, telling her about his next phase of the plan.As far as everyone was concerned, he was in Israel visiting his aunt when, in fact, he was just in his hidden apartment for the past week plotting forward.He was very aware that Shelly was going nuts; it was only going to be days before her trial, and he wanted her to panic and see where her desperation would lead her. But him laying low was part of the plan; it was risky as he had no idea how Shelly would react, but he had plan B.Rexa had checked on George and confirmed he had enough pills to go as insane as they wanted him to go, but Daniel was waiting for the perfect moment to run him mad.His phone rang, and it was Zain; it had been a while since the two hung out."Hey dude, I heard that you were in Israel?" Zain asked.Daniel paused for a second, pondering Zain's tone. He was confirming rather than asking."Yes, I am in Israel," Daniel repl
