121. Game is over
Back in the warehouse, Raina’s neck burned where the Don’s man held herHer hands were forced behind her, gun wrestled from her gripHer pulse thundered as sweat rolled down her temple, but her mind raced with Leon’s voice in her ear.“Raina. Don’t give him a chance, I can’t come help you now…”She gritted her teeth that meant she had to buy herself timeShe had to stay alive, stay smartThe Don leaned casually against a stack of dusty cratesHis eyes cold, scanning her like she was already defeated“You blink twice when you are ready to apologize for pointing your gun at me, then he will let go” he said, voice silky but sharpApologize?

120. The Don’s ex-wife
Back in the warehouse, the smirk on the Don’s face was annoying to RainaHe took another step backward when clearly she had told him not to moveThe rage inside of Raina was boiling up, if she shoot the Don, his men would shoot at herRaina’s eye darkened with fear and furyIf she couldn’t get her son, if she couldn’t save him then what was the point?Her hands shook, the gun trembling in her grip“We might as well all die today!” Raina spat her eyes didn’t leave the Don, not for a second “The only person that was suppose to die is her” the Don pointed at Kendra who was standing there with her hands cuffed “You should have just killed me yourself instead of involving the detective and her son” Kendra spoke up “She caused this, she was digging into the case”“My partner, Harris had sleepless night for this case before he died, the last thing I promised him was to find the people behind it!” Raina said between clenched teeth “Now you found us didn’t you-this is the first shipment th

Downtown, the city buzzed Cars honking, people rushing, unaware that a headline was about to fracture the calm Inside a glass walled newsroom, a man wearing nerdy glasses adjusted his tie He paused for a second to think of what next to type For as long in his career, he had handled big stories that launched him to fame However, he was not the top journalist He looked to the right side of the room There was an array of pictures, awards and certificates In one of the picture was a lady wearing a big smile in the picture and holding up an award That was Kendra Marris, the country’s top journalist After her was him, he was next after and he was not satisfied He knew that he had to work harder to be the top in the country He swallowed, cleared his throat and continued typing on his MacBook when an email hit inbox He had a habit of always checking emails immediately he got them He opened the email No subject line, just a red alert “Proof of Kendra and Don operation
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
117. Ten seconds
Inside the Warehouse, Raina Elbert still had the gun between her and Kendra Marris “Raina” Kendra said “You are a good cop-I doubted your abilities, but I want you to know-“ The phone buzzed, Raina looked at it : SHOOT HER Raina raised the gun higher, this time, it was aimed Not steady, but real Kendra 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 back 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 to eliminate me” 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’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
