2024-01-23 22:28:40Hearing the bill of the food they just ate,Tory's mouth became wide open. Even if the bill wasn't so expensive,it was expensive for a guy like Scott.
But to her greatest surprise,Scott passed his smartphone to the waiter and instructed him to input the account derails without even breaking a sweat.After inputing the account details,Scott completed the transfer and also ordered for take outs for him and Tory.The take outs was brought and the duo retrieved it and made their way outside the restaurant. Due to how much they had to eat,the duo's movement were slow and sluggish."How did you manage to pay,though?" Tory inquired,still a bit surprised by how Scott was able to pay without even breaking a sweat."Come on,don't be dramatic,Tory. The bills wasn't that high." Scott replied,scratching his curly black hair. "Besides,do you have any idea who my fiance is?" Scott asked with a proud look and a smirk.He chose to pretend that his fiance,Caroline,was the one who gave him tge money to treat her to dinner. Scott wasn't ready to inform anyone of his true identity and it was better to still lay low and play along."I knew it." Tory blurtted out. "I guess i should also look for a rich guy that would give me the good things i want." Said Tory while making their way to the bus station."You will find one,don't worry." Scott replied.The duo finally arrived at the bus station and Scott made sure Tory entered a bus that would take her home before making his way back to the main road to get a cab.Tory's house was located in a whole new destination from where Scott's apartment was.***Scott finally arrived home and placed the take outs into his small fridge before collapsing on his bed to have a goodnight rest.BEEP*A notification sound was heard in Scott's phone,glancing at the screen,Scott saw a new text message from Caroline.-(CAROLINE) HI.-(SCOTT) HEY.-(CAROLINE) SORRY ABOUT EARLIER.-(SCOTT) NAH,DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.-(CAROLINE) YOU GOT PLANS TOMORROW?-(SCOTT) TOMORROW IS SATURDAY,I WON'T BE GOING ANYWHERE. WHY?-(CAROLINE) SHOULD WE HANG OUT?-(SCOTT) SURE,I WILL PICK YOU UP TOMORROW.Delivering the last text,Scott placed his phone on his drawer,his ecpression mixed with excitement and anticipation as he closed his eyes to sleep.***Back in the Fernando residence, Four individual could be seen having a secret conversation in a room that was located upstairs. Based on how they spoke quietly,it was obvious they did not want anyone to hear what they were talking about."I wonder what charm that bastard placed on my daughter's head that makes her not want to leave him." Mrs Sheila blurtted with looks of disdain as she remembers Scott's face from earlier."I mean,did you even see the guy?" Louis uttered. "He's very disgusting. I can't allow him enter into this family.""I am not sure if we can do anything about that since your father already approved their wedding." Mrs. Sheila responded. "The only thing we can do now is make his life a living hell when he comes into this house. We'll frustrate him until he leaves.""I don't think that would be necessary." Aunt Zaya who has been on the phone with someone for a while now finally ended the call and stated."What do you mean?" Louis questioned,confused by Aunt Zaya's words."Pedro called me earlier that he has a plan to make that riff raff not step into this house. And now he called me saying his plan was a success and all we had to do was wait till tomorrow." Aunt Zaya explained with a mischievious smirk as she grabs a glass of red wine and sips it."What do you mean? What plan?" Mrs Sheila asked hastily."We will just have to wait and see what Pedro is up to." Aunt Zaya replied.***The morning sun rose up and shone brightly into the eyes of Scott,and slowly he began to wake up from his slumber. Today was saturday,a weekend to do what he wanted.Scott's initial plan for his weekend was to just lie down on his bed and rest after such a stressful week at work. But after Caroline's invite,he knew he had to change his plan and spend the whole of the day with her.Scott rose up from his bed and let out a loud yawn while stretching his body. After making sure he was fully awake,Scott headed inside his bathroom to take a shower.Few minutes later,Scott walked out of the Shower and headed straight to his fridge and brought out the takeouts from last night's dinner. He placed the food into the microwave and sat down patientiely,waiting for it to heat up.DING*Scott took out the hot plate and began to dig in and eat. While Scott was eating,he was scrolling through TikTok to pass time while watching funny videos online.While Scott was scrolling through his phone,a message entered. Scott glanced at the message and was surprised by who the sender was."Why does boss wants me in the company right now? Isn't it my day off?" Scott couldn't quite understand what was going on. It was a weekend,why then was he being called by his boss?After thinking about it for too long,Scott decided it would be best if he just go and see what the problem could be. Quickly dressing up in his hoodie,Scott dashed out of his apartment and headed straight to the company.***The company was already crowded with every single person who worked there. They were asked to arrange themselves in a straight line while they await the boss.Few minutes later,the boss,Pedro Louis walked in,dressed in black suit and trousers.Pedro stood infront of the workers and glanced at each and everyone of their faces like he was searching for a paeticular person.Just when he was about to ask where the person was,Scott rushed into the company and was surprised by who was standing infront of him.The same man that humiliated him yesterday at the Fernando's residence."Oh,He's here." Pedro voiced. "Now the reason why i called this meeting is because the company's property went missing overnight. And the property is worth $3,000,000,000."

Perez!
The duo ran as fast as they could until they arrived in front of a door near the inventory section. Perez pulled it open, and as they stepped inside, the guards behind them opened fire. But none of the bullets found their mark. Instead, they pierced the walls and the doorframe, leaving small holes in the metal and splintered wood.The room they had entered was vast and hollow, filled with tall, empty wooden shelves. The air was musty and thick with dust. The room was dimly lit—its only source of illumination being a single, flickering bulb dangling from the ceiling. Every few seconds, the bulb would malfunction and plunge the space into complete darkness before sparking back to life with an ominous buzz.Their breathing was heavy. Hearts pounded in their chests as cold sweat trickled down their brows. Both scanned the room with wide, frantic eyes.“Where is this place?” Blake asked, his voice barely above a whisper.“It used to be a storage room,” Perez replied as he slowly advanced.
Dead wrong
“What have you done?” Perez blurted out, his voice sharp and alarmed, eyes narrowing as they locked onto the prison officer who had just finished calling reinforcements through his radio. His entire body tensed, every muscle coiled like a spring.The officer returned his glare without a hint of concern. His voice was icy and deliberate.“I just called my fellow comrades,” he said calmly, the radio still crackling faintly in his hand. “They’re all on their way here now.” He took a slow step forward, his gaze unwavering. “No one escapes this place… not alive, anyway.”A chill ran down Perez’s spine. He spun toward Blake, who stood a few paces behind him, still processing the unfolding chaos.“We have to get out of here. Right now.” His tone was firm and commanding—there was no room for debate.Behind them, the officer cracked his neck with a sickening pop, his face hardening. He clenched his fists, the tension in his knuckles audible.“Not on my watch,” he growled. “You’re going nowhere
Locked and Loaded
The duo moved further into the room and halted in front of the massive table positioned at the center—an arsenal laid out before them, packed with firearms and ammunition of various types.Perez stepped forward first, reaching for a compact Mini Uzi. He expertly ejected the empty magazine, allowing it to clatter onto the floor, before sliding a fully loaded one into the weapon with a sharp click. He tucked the Uzi into his left pocket and turned to the next weapon—this time, a UMP submachine gun. With the same practiced ease, he removed the spent mag and replaced it with a fresh, full one. Slinging the weapon over his shoulder, Perez didn’t stop there. He grabbed several extra magazines, stuffing them into his pockets as backup, just in case a reload became necessary during a gunfight.Blake, standing beside him, was also deep in selection.He reached out and grabbed an MP5 submachine gun, verifying its load before slinging it over his shoulder. Next, he chose a long-range rifle, expe
Inventory
“Understood, sir. We’ll head out immediately,” he replied sharply, lowering the radio with a crisp motion.A tense silence hung in the room like a thick fog. Then, without wasting another second, Matt turned on his heel and strode purposefully toward the exit door. The rest of the guards exchanged brief looks before falling into formation behind him. Together, they exited the cafeteria with focused determination, each man stepping in rhythm with the urgency of the command.Perez and Blake remained seated, their eyes tracking the departing guards. As the last officer vanished through the doorway, Perez leaned slightly toward Blake and murmured, his voice no more than a whisper.“Told you. Once they all leave, we move. You heard the guy on the radio. Almost all available guards have been summoned to the market square... which means the only ones left behind are stragglers. Leftovers. Shouldn’t be hard for us to take them out and get the hell out of here.”He spoke calmly, but with a qui
Perez unleashed
He lunged forward, swinging a heavy fist toward Perez’s face.But Perez was faster.He ducked beneath the wild punch and retaliated with a brutal strike to Duncan’s gut. The tattooed man grunted, doubling over in pain—WHAM!—just as Perez followed up with a devastating uppercut that landed with a crack loud enough to resemble a gunshot.Duncan collapsed.Flat on his back. Out cold.The entire cafeteria gasped.A sharp, collective silence swallowed the room.Everyone froze, stunned by what had just unfolded before their eyes. Dozens of eyes turned in unison, fixated on Perez, as if trying to comprehend what had just happened.The men who had stood beside Duncan moments earlier instinctively took several steps back, their faces plastered with disbelief and confusion. None of them had expected their leader—a man known for his brute strength—to go down after a single combination. It wasn’t just surprising. It was terrifying.But now wasn’t the time to act like cowards.They knew Duncan.Th
Silence the witness
The eyes of Mr. Fernando shot open as he rose to his feet the moment the call disconnected. Blood still dripped from the fresh cut on his cheek, but he showed no sign of discomfort. Calmly, he reached into his coat pocket, pulled out a white handkerchief, and dabbed at the crimson smear, cleaning it away with deliberate strokes. From the shadows behind the pillar, Bolasco also emerged, his boots echoing faintly against the concrete floor as he stepped forward."Well," Felipe began, his voice strained and laced with a twisted sense of hope, "she said she won’t be coming here. Instead, she’ll send her address, and I’ll bring you to her."He smiled faintly, nervously. "You can go over to the address she sends... give her a surprise attack.""Yes, kid," Mr. Fernando replied with a low, predatory grin. "That’s exactly what we’re going to do."Ding!A soft chime echoed through the dimly lit warehouse, its eerie tone bouncing off the rusted walls. Felipe turned his head sharply toward the s
