118. All die today
Raina opened her eyes, tears streamed down her face “Two” the Don’s voice sounded while he was still pressing the gun to the little boy head Victor cried harder “Mummy” “One-“Suddenly, the lights went outTotal darkness, Victor’s screams eruptedGunshots exploded and it drowned the little boy’s voice Raina couldn’t see anything in the darkness but she knew what had just happened to her son “Victor!” she shouted “Victor!” No response from the little boy Immediately, Raina’s world shatteredHer ears rang, her lungs burnedShe couldn’t see, she could barely breatheShe could only feel, pains, fear and loss“Victor!” she screamed again, her voice cracked Nothing, just silence Ordinarily her boy would respond if he was alive The lights came back and it was blinding and sharp Raina gasped, covering her eyesHer legs moved on their own, she moved around the open space “Victor! Where are you?”She was horrified to see one of the Don’s men lay on the floorClean shot to the ches

“Raina” she said “You are a good cop-I doubted your abilities, but I want you to know-“The phone buzzed, Raina looked at it : SHOOT HERRaina raised the gun higher, this time, it was aimedNot steady, but realKendra stopped moving“Okay” she said softly. “Okay. I won’t come closer”Raina’s eyes burned with tears“I don’t want to do this” she whispered.“I know” Kendra replied “That’s why you must not”Raina shook her head “You don’t understand.”“Oh. I do” Kendra said “He is cleaning the mess, this beyond you getting your son”Raina blurted out “What?” She just wanted her son back, she didn’t want all of this?Kendra kept her voice low “I’m the loose end. You’re the weapon”The man standing behind Raina took out his phone and walked closer to her“Do as you are told” he said to her before fixing his phone on Raina’s left ear while held onto it Raina hands trembled“You are running out of patience.

116. The blackmailer
Raina’s phone vibrated again, the colour in her face drained “Raina” she said quietly “What is on your phone?” Raina looked up from her phone then to Kendra Kendra didnt look frightened yet, she didn’t know what the text had just told Raina to do “Raina” Kendra said slowly “Put the gun down!” Her voice was like an order this time Raina laughed once, it was a broken and tired laughter “I can’t” Kendra frowned “You can”“I can’t” Raina repeated, teeth clenched “I have to obey every instruction”Kendra hesitated to speak, that made Kendra still Her gaze flicked aroundThe warehouse The men Then back to Raina, it only made sense to her now The way everything felt stagedThen it clicked“He is forcing you, isn’t he?” Kendra askedRaina’s lips trembled, she didn’t answer but that was answer enough She looked scared, she was infact scared She didn’t want to do it This was not the first she was holding up a gun She was a trained detective but this time felt different Anot
115. Raise your gun
Raina’s hands trembled on the wheelThe black SUV ahead turned into a narrow laneShe followed, engine quiet, lights dimmedThe warehouse loomed ahead, it was cold and empty on the inside The message she had received was still on her mind : Do exactly as you’re told…or your son diesShe didn’t want Victor dead, so whatever the blackmailer wanted will do it Raina swallowed, her heart was poundingThe air brushed her face as she parked behind the SUV that stopped She didn’t step out of the car immediately, turning of the engine of the car she forced herself to breathe“Leon” Raina whispered No responsePretending to scratch her back she took her hands to the back of her neck The mic was still on the collar where Leon colleague had snapped it, so what was the issueRaina tapped the mic with her index, if that could her restore connection but to no avail The humming didnt stop “Shit, he better not leave me here all by myself” Raina muttured as she took out the car keys Impatience
114. Or your son dies
The silence lingered as Raina kept drivingThe earpiece hummed softly in her ear, just a low empty sound Not Leon’s voice not even his colleague’s voiceHer fingers tightened around the steering wheelHer chest felt tight, but she didn’t cryCrying wasted oxygen and that was not the right time Keep drivingLeon’s words echoed in her head again She focused on the black SUV ahead, it was not too close, not too farThe countryside stretched endlessly around herNo houses, no streetlightsJust a long road that seemed endless Her phone vibrated She didn’t look at it yetShe already knew what it would say and she was not ready to do the next phase with Leon***In a dark room miles away, the man watched a screenA map glowed softly in front of himTwo moving dotsOne black, one red“She is compliant” a man said behind himThe man with cigarettes nodded “She never was like this-we have her son that is why” he replied calmlyAnother screen showed a different feedA still image of a lad
