112. The war will end soon
Raina’s hands were tight on the wheel but the car was parked The parking structure was empty, yet another time Leon sent her a coordinate and it was a desolate place What did he really have with empty places Nothing moved, no cars, no sound, not even a stray cat Raina was sat in her car, looking around for any sign of Leon The car radio was playing soft music that helped calmed her just a little bit Suddenly, the music paused as a newscaster sounded instead “Breaking news” a pause “An investigation of the explosion in Sir Chionadi Navero factory has showed that…” Raina immediately shut the radio off That moment she was no longer a cop, her badge was suspended, it was none of her business What concerned her the most now was getting back her son alive, from whoever has taken him She checked her phone, nothing new She checked the time, forty minutes gone alreadyShe had only an hour and twenty minutes to save her son, her pulse thumpedEvery seconds stretched

Sir Chio Navero home office was quietThe broken glass had been sweep away The wine stain on the floor had been cleanedThe desk was polished againIt looked untouchedLike nothing had happenedSir Chionadi Navero sat alone, thinking No assistants, No guards, No Alfredo.Just himHe sat behind the massive mahogany desk his hands on his chin as he looked into space His breathing was slow, He looked controlled even the rage he felt when he had just heard the news of the explosion was gone That was when he was most dangerousWhen he was silent A soft knock came at the door“Enter” Sir Chio said.The assistant stepped in carefullyHe did not meet Sir Chio’s eyes, he was too scared to even do that The old man had just gone through a huge loss “Yes?” Sir Chio asked.mThe assistant swallowed and he thought before he spoke “The preliminary reports are ready, sir”“Good” Sir Chio said calmly “Read it to me”The assistant opened a tablet “There was no forced entry at the factory gates”
110. Move smart not fast
Raina’s hands were white from gripping the steering wheel so tight The city lights blurred past “Less than two hours… two hours…” she muttered. “I have to find him. I can’t waste time” Her pulse hammered in her ears Every stoplight actually felt like an eternity Cars swerved around her, horns blaring She barely noticed A motorbike nearly clipped her bumper “Put yourself together, Raina” she whispered to herself Raina skidded into the tech shop parking lot, slammed the door and she quickly ran inside The clerk looked up with a bored eye that noticed Raina was panicking “You okay, ma’am?” Raina didn’t answer She darted to the counter instead, grabbed the first phone that she saw “Fastest one you have” she snapped. “No extras. No accessories. Just this” The clerk hesitated. “Do you need a case, for protection” It seemed like a good idea since she was always fond of throwing her phone on the wall “I don’t have time!” she hissed The clerk heaved a sigh like s
109. I want him dead
Sir Chio stood behind the podium, He was dressed in an expensive suit On his left hand was a gold wrist watch The wrist watch that was very visible as he elaborated with hand gestures Cameras flashed endlessly Microphones crowded his face Behind him was a large banner with bold letters CHIONADI GROUP — BUILDING A STRONGER FUTURE Sir Chio adjusted his cufflinks slowly He smiled, it was not a warm smile, not even kind It was smile of a man who knew he had already won He had the influence, he had the money too “Our vision” Sir Chio said calmly “Is to create industries that do not just generate profit, but shape the future of this country” Applause followed Cheered too, loud enough that made him smile, genuinely this time He had faithful fans and obedient followers He raised a hand, silencing them “I am a man that believe in structure. In discipline. In legacy” Sir Chio sounded More applauded came A journalist raised her hand “Sir Chionadi, w
108. Mummy is coming
Raina stared at the phone in her hands Her thumb was still bleeding from the screen glass that had pierced it The screen was cracked She almost regret the habits of throwing things, it never did end well She pressed the power button again Only the white lights again It didn’t come up “Fuck…” she whispered She was frustrated, if her phone was down that means she couldn’t receive nor make calls Her chest rose and fell too fast, she forced herself to breathe She breathed in and breathed out She had to think, that was not the moment for panicking Not now Leon’s number was stored in the phone Everything was in the phone She ran her fingers through her hair and looked around the room “Put yourself together Raina” she muttered to herself “Think…think” Her eyes landed on the old telephone fixed to the wall The landline She rushed to it and lifted the receiver Her fingers shook as she dialed St. Mary Children’s Home Busy She hung up and dialed a
107. Memory Lane
At Doctor Banks Hospital The room smelled like antiseptic, the room was quiet save for the machine beeping Tara’s eye gently flickered, then it went open slowly, she stared at the ceiling, counting the tiny cracks One…two…three It was another room, when was she moved? Her head didn’t hurt this time That alone felt strange, she felt much better this time The door opened softly as Leon walked in He still wore the black shirt she had known him for and his shoes, every so the same Leon, her pauper husband He also had his controlled face “You are awake” he said “Is that how you greet?” Tara replied instead Leon was as much as she knows him, arrogant and poor “I see you are getting back your memory” Leon chuckled, that was the real Tara The mean and sassy one “Did you expect my memory to be gone forever? So you would take over my inheritance as my husband?” “I already divorced you, it’s left for you to sign the papers” Leon spat in a low tone, all her memories
