With a confident smile on his face, Jason looked at the people in the room with him, glancing at them one after the other until he returned his gaze to Dalton. The room was filled with so much anticipation and the eagerness written all over the faces of the people in the room could be felt in the air.“Of course, Dalton! You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Five shipments should be able to fit into one of my cargo ships, and as soon as they arrive at the port, I shall make sure they are conveyed to your preferred location.” “Just the words I wanted to hear! Excellent! Lovely!” Dalton laughed excitedly, puffing out smoke from his mouth. Silas and Philip were not left out of the excitement while Adele maintained a smile on her face, staring at Jason with so much admiration.“I think we should celebrate this!” Dalton grabbed a glass and poured some liquor inside it while he gestured to every other person to do the same. “No, I think I will pass.” Adele said when Jason offe
Glad that the call came in when it did, Jason pulled away from Adele, and grabbed his phone from his right pocket, lifting his other hand in front of her. “Excuse me, I have to take this.” He looked at the screen while Adele tried to move closer to him. “This is really important, I have to take it.” He turned and walked to a corner while Adele grunted loudly, clenching both fists in annoyance. “Why now? The stupid caller couldn’t wait any other time!” Adele sighed heavily, and then she looked at Jason with so much admiration written all over her face. Standing by a corner where he was certain that no one was going to hear his conversation with the caller, Jason answered the call and placed the phone on his left ear. “Harry?”“Yes! Young Master, we found something. I think you need to see this.” Harry said from the other end of the line, and at that moment, nothing else mattered to Jason. “I am on my way.” Jason ended the call at once and started walking back to Adele who
Kelvin was silent from his own end, but the clicking sound of the keys on the keyboard of his laptop could be heard while Jason waited patiently for him to speak. “Yes! The man is named Paul Dylan. 5.4 foot tall, served a long term for murder and assault charges. Released about a year ago, and no one had ever heard of him since then.”“Any address? Is there anywhere we can find him?” Jason asked at once, holding onto the phone while he listened attentively. “There is no known address, Young Master, I have checked severally. He went under the radar as soon as he was released.”“How about the phone? I thought you were tracking it.”“Yes, but I lost the signal about two hours ago. I think he destroyed it to hide his location.”“Oh.” Jason sighed with a little disappointment while he thought about the next move to make. “There must be something, Kelvin. I need you to think of something, anyway, so we can be able to get him. This is really important, and I hope you understand.”
Harry observed all of these, and nodded with a smirk on his face while Hilda kept on looking at him with the nervousness that engulfed her. “Hilda? You said you were alone.” “Yes! Why?” Hilda fired at once, struggling to maintain her composure. “I can see two wine glasses here, and two used plates. Does that mean that you were lying? That means someone else is in here.” “There is no one else here! I told you! There is no one else here! My best friend Mandy came over! We had something to eat and drank some wine.” “So you smoke?” Harry asked at once, pointing at the ashtray on the table, and after a few seconds, he returned his gaze to Hilda, still maintaining the smirk on his face. “You smoked this?” “Yes! Yes, I did!” “No, you didn’t! Your lips are still wet.” Harry pointed at her lips at once, and she began to stutter. “I…I… Yes, I applied some lip gloss on my lips a few minutes ago.” Harry took a step forward, but Hilda tried to stop him. He looked around the hou
Seeing that Paul seemed like he was ready to talk, Jason slowly pulled the burning cigarette from his skin, dragging out the burnt layer along with it while he grunted loudly. He let go of his neck at once, leaving him to whimper in severe pain. He tried to move his hands to his face, but the guards were still holding him down, not ready to let go. “Imagine if it were to be any of your eyes, Paul. I am sure that there would be no way you will be able to survive the burn from it. All I need is the answer to the questions I am about to ask you, Paul. Do you understand?”“Yes! Yes! I underhand! Please don’t hurt me again! I will tell you what you want to hear, anything at all!” Paul pleaded, and Jason nodded with his smile intact. “Good! I like you already, Paul. You are easy to talk to.” Jason gestured to a guard who lighted the cigarette again, making sure that it was burning just like before. “Now, let’s start all over again. Shall we?” Jason lifted the cigarette, making sure
The thoughts of the encounters Jason had with Stephen nestled in his mind as he drove away. He decided to go pay James a visit to the hospital, and as soon as he arrived, he walked into the ward where he met the other guard Ace who was seated in front of James. As soon we Jason walked into the room, Ace turned around instantly, and stood up the moment he realized that it was Jason who walked into the room. “Young Master.” He bowed. “Hello, Ace.” Jason looked at James and realized that he was fast asleep. “How is he?” “He is fine, Young Master. He only complained of a little pain and the Doctor gave him something that knocked him out.” Ace responded and took a glance at James who groaned while he was still fast asleep. Jason looked at him as well, and when he saw that he had taken the food and juice he asked for, he nodded in satisfaction. “That’s alright, Ace. I will be on my way now. Please make sure he is okay, and if there is any emergency, call Harry, he will know wh
Turning toward the direction he heard the sound of the car from, Jason looked at once, expecting to see Brenda and Tricia, but it was a car that he recognized as soon as he set his eyes on it. It was one of the cars that the guards left with, and within a few seconds, another car drove in behind it. Harry and two other guards were inside. “She is not the one,” Jason grunted at once, and then he sighed heavily. He checked his phone again, but Brenda had not returned his calls. In less than a minute, Harry walked up to him, and as soon as he saw the look on his face, he decided to inquire why he looked disturbed, speaking with a voice a little above a whisper. “Young Master? Is everything alright?” Jason looked at the Butler who was still waiting patiently to hear what he was going to say, but no word was able to leave his mouth until he took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. “It’s Brenda. I came back home and she is gone.” “Oh.” Harry’s inquisitive expression changed
Jason woke up the next morning, but he didn’t see Brenda on the bed. He got up at once, and walked out of the room to Henry’s room, rubbing off the sleep in his eyes while he sauntered to his son’s room. “Hey!” He said to Brenda who was carrying Henry with both hands while she was seated on the couch in the room. “Good morning, Jay,” Brenda said with a smile on her face shortly after she clipped the diapers she was putting on Henry who was yet to know that his father was inside the room until he heard his voice. “I woke up and I didn’t find you on the bed,” Jason said while he walked up to Brenda and planted a kiss on her lips. Henry saw his father as soon as Brenda turned him around, and he reached out to him at once, stretching to be carried. “Your son wants you, here you go!” Brenda handed Henry over to his father who carried him at once and dandled him gently while he giggled and cooed at the same time.“I should go make something to eat,” Brenda said as she stood up ge
