The echo of metal and rusty horns in the train yard made it clear this place was alive with action and created a fearful atmosphere for Keith and Bella.

The valves hissed and small puddles shone, reflecting the two escaping criminals as they ran along the old railcars.

She pulled her coat nearer to her as she looked around, watching all the actions of the people nearby. Barry’s troops might be lurking anywhere around us.

Keith nodded while keeping his jaw strong. He used his watch to activate a low-frequency scanner. “Yet, we need to act fast since the next security check is coming soon.”

They moved along the edge of the map, hiding under stairs and passing underneath stacks of cargo containers. In the distance, a freight train began making its loud rattle, making them feel more alert.

Keith pointed in the direction of the boxcars being lined up to leave the station. “It looks like the train is getting ready to depart. It’s by far our greatest chance."

Bella moved her gaze to the came

  • Leonard’s Entry

    At Leonard’s question,John’s face immediately flushed with red-hot fury,his pride burning under the weight of the man’s indifference.“You, You don’t recognize me?”John spat, his voice raised, a mocking smile twisting his lips.“How can you not know who I am? I’m John Davison!From the Davison family—the third great family of Oklahoma!”He rose from the chair abruptly,hands splayed on the polished wood of the desk as he leaned forward.His chest heaved with anger.“I don’t care how ‘special’ you think you are,” he seethed,turning sharply to one of the towering men behind him.“Teach this nobody a lesson.”The command was swift.One of John’s bodyguards,dressed in tailored black and exuding menace,stepped forward without hesitation.The room chilled with anticipation.Leonard’s expression did not change.Not a flicker of fear crossed his features.The bodyguard moved with ruthless precision,his arm outstretched,fist aiming for Leonard’s jawCrack!A scream tore through th

  • John’s Outburst:

    In that moment, Harry's hand seemed to have freeze right in the middle of the air.Leonard is here?The name surfaced in his memories and his fingers twitched ever so slightly. No hint of a text;No call;No hint of a visit. This was far from Leonard’s persona. He was the type of man who always had a purpose with whatever it was that he chose to do. As they sat on the other side of the desk, John sat observing with eyebrows knitted together in confusion and suspicion while looking at Harry’s face morphing ever so slightly. He was intrigued by Harry’s reaction to the secretary’s announcement. The man who was speaking authoritatively at him suddenly became as a meek as a cat. Was it fear that he saw in his eyes?But, Harry Hades feared no man. It was something else. Caution perhaps? Respect? Rare… but not impossible. John had heard that name before. Leonard. It clicked. The Styles party. He was the man his father had mentioned offhand that evening. The one who showed u

  • Power Play In Oklahoma:

    John Davison entering through the glass doors stirred the atmosphere within the Hades Corporation building.His presence commanded attention, and with a perfectly tailored suit black as night, he made power tangible.His reputation, ruthless and domineering, was augmented by the well-kept salt-and-pepper hair and sharply defined jawline. Conversations hushed and postures stiffened as he entered. “OMG! Isn’t that John Davison?!” One of the employees exclaimed in the rush.“Yes! I wonder what he's doing here.”“Haven’t you heard? Mr Harry cancelled all collaborations with the Davison’s family. I’m sure he’s here to settle some scores!”John was flanked by two guards, dressed in black, mingling with the crowd while observing every detail with hawk-like intensity. With every step, they added to the rhythm of oppression in the atmosphere.As John Davison entered, the receptionist trembled slightly, picking up the phone to call Harry’s secretary. “Ms Smith, I have Mr. Davison on the li

  • Leonard’s Wrath:

    The classic chandelier’s light spark as if in a gentle breeze, casting long shadows on the black marble floor of Leonard’s private study.He leaned back on his glass desk, swirling dark amber liquor in a crystal tumbler while tapping on his phone screen.It settled on a name, “Harry Hades”.Without hesitation, he pressed the call button and coldly lifted the receiver to his ear.The line rang.Then, a sharp click.“Leonard,” came a breathless voice, almost hurried as if expecting—or fearing—the call.“Good evening, Mr Marshall, I didn’t expect you to call so soon.” Leonard focused on the wall in front of him, but it felt like his presence was pressurizing the entire room. “You sound nervous, Harry.” “I” A nervous chuckle escaped.“Only surprised, that’s all.” “Julian Styles.” Leonard replied, humming lightly and swirling his drink once more. There was a beat of silence on the other end.“It’s been just a little over a month since we last spoke,”Leonard reiterated, “Styles wa

  • The Davisons:

    That night, Keith sat at his apartment, files sprawled across his dining table. One in particular caught his eye—a cross-reference of investors and shell companies. Most of the connections were dead ends… except one.He hadn’t thought of them in months. The Davisons were powerful, discreet, and infamously detached from the public spotlight. But their name popped up—barely—in a transfer to a subsidiary recently restructured into a tech-based logistics competitor now bidding aggressively for the same contracts Marshall Corp had its eyes on.Keith’s phone buzzed.Leonard.He picked up. “Hey.”“I have news,” Leonard said without greeting. “The competitor targeting Marshall? We ran a full audit trail. It's being funded through proxies—offshore firms, fake holdings. But we finally traced the money.”Keith sat forward. “Let me guess. The Davison family.”A long pause. Then Leonard cursed. “You found it too.”“They’re not just watching Marshall Corp,” Keith said. “They’re moving in.”Leonard’
