They arrived at the spot in a few hours. By the time they got there, some other platoon men had already gotten to the place. Their vehicles were parked right outside of a shady looking building that seemed like it would be falling down to complete pieces anytime soon. "Give me details as soon as possible," Stacy said into her walkie-talkie phone, cautiously. Although she was ready to unmount.She turned towards Nathan. "Here, a gun. Take it." Nathan looked down at her hands to see a pistol. He made a wry smile. "It's funny that you think I do not have my own pistol on me," he said."Tchh..." She pulled away, and then turned back to face Melody who seemed to have melted into the shadows at the back of the SUV. "You can have this, then. I assume you do not already have a gun.""Thank you," Melody said shrilly as she walked towards Stacy to take the gun from the woman's hands, like an electric eel swimming into the mouth of a shark."Alright, men!" Stacy called out after giving the g

"I need Base one and Base two to be in position around the parameters. Over" Stacy said, speaking into a walkie-talkie phone as she made her way into a black SUV. She looked at the side of the car to see Nathan standing just by, dressing up in black combat wear. "Await further instructions before making a move. Over.""Don't tell me you're coming," she said to him, and then spying that behind him, just lingering behind the sliding glass doors was Melody who seemed like she was trying to make up her mind about something. She tore her eyes away and focused just on Nathan. "I don't have to tell you I will be going before tagging along," Nathan replied, stepping closer to the SUV. "You work for me, remember. Not the other way around. Isn't that supposed to be clear?"Stacy gasped. "Are you sure about this, boss? It could get dangerous. And remember, what my underling said might have been out of pocket, but there is still a chance that these people might be laying out there trying to a

From the door came a knock that immediately woke Michael from the short siesta he was having. He squinted and ran his hands over his eyes. "Who is out there?" He asked. "I did not call for room service."Was he imaging things? Or had he seen that exact moment before? Was time coming back to hunt it. He stood up and backed away from the door. "No, nothing again," he said. From the door he expected that a short man with a scar and prosthetic arm was going to come in, flanked by too monstrous looking body guards who would not waste anytime to put a bullet through his head if they were instructed to."Alias Bhat," an eerie voice called out from outside of the room. Michael could not recognize the voice. "Who are you?" He asked. "Come open the door or I shoot you in the head!" The voice threatened. Michael's heart flew to his mouth. "I am counting to three. And if you don't open the door before I blow a bullet through your head, you will you have your self to blame"Michael said nothi

Stacy, the one in charge of much of Cloven's security outfit, and one who Melody had often considered to have been raised as a boy untill by her fourteenth, her family suddenly realized that they had made a mistake and began raising her as a girl, but it was too late, began speaking. "So we found some information on the money laundering case," she said with a straight face. "But we don't know whether to act on it or not.""Why?" Melody asked. "What's about it that is so hard to use?"Stacy sighed. "It was sent to my email by exactly six o'clock this morning." She turned around, grabbed a remote from the glass table and turned the projector behind her on. "Let me just show you what the text says."As Stacy was busy trying to get the texts to show right on the projector, Melody's heart began beating profusely. She expected to see something about Michael there. She was so tensed that she began unconsciously tapping her hands on her thighs."You seem tensed, Melody," Nathan said, glanci

Melody scurried down the corridor, fastening her buttons on the white shirt she wore under the feminine charcoal suit. She was about to plug her key into the door when she heard the voice of her father call out to her from behind."You're off to work, aren't you, Melody?" The man said, his eyes under the glasses in an unnaturally scrutinizing fashion. "Yes..." Melody answered, her chin raised as she stared back at the man that was her father, slightly curious on the question as she understood that the tone he was speaking with meant that the question Infact that had a a deeper home it was born from. "Is there any problem?"He sighed, looking to the floor. Her father had become a mere shell of a man. Different from what she recognized him to be. When he showed up at the office, he would puff up his chest to show everyone that he had not lost the air of superiority, the pride of being the founder of the Lee Enterprise. But at home he would shrink back, all his fangs pulled in. It was o

Nathan woke up to the rays from the sun slipping right through the heavy curtains that hung over the floor to ceiling windows of his room. He could feel a heart beat thumping right on his left shoulder. Rhea was still sleeping, her body hooked to his from another night of cuddling. She looked so pretty in the twilight that he could not help but smile.If only he could enjoy another conscious moment all entangled in each other's embrace. He had work to do, especially with the latest issues hounding him like dogs.He moved his arm and heard a slight gasp from Rhea's slightly parted mouth. She had woken up, her eyes circling wildly around, to see the first lights of the day she had woken up to."Good morning, love" Nathan said to her, carresing her forehead with his other hand.She let out an early morning giggle. "That tickles," she said. He laughed lightly. They shared a brief moment of silence with their eyes frozen in place, staring at one another, drawn into each other's abyss,
