Scott Carden's fault
last update2024-10-22 05:50:35

The crowd of workers began to speak collectively after Chief Jim asked a question, and all hands were pointed at one man... Scott.

Chief Jim turned to face Scott with a slight look of puzzle, and he made his way towards him.

"Scott? What are you doing here?" Chief Jim inquired, his gaze fixed on Scott.

"I work here, Chief. Or I used to work here." Scott replied.

"I see." Chief Jim nodded as he took off his brown hat and wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead with his sleeve before putting it back on. "So, can you tell me what happened?" He asked.

"Metal collided against each other, caused a spark of fire, and the spark caused the explosion." Scott told him the same made up story he has been telling everyone that asked. That was the reasonable explanation he could come up with that would cover the fact that it was a bomb.

"Those guys over there said that you mentioned something about a bomb that was planted by a lady. Is it true?" Chief Jim lowered his voice and inquired.

"It wasn't

  • Survival at any cost

    Screech!!!A loud screeching sound echoed as Scott's men hit the brakes and came to a halt a few paces away from the edge of the cliff. Kael leaped off the car and landed on the ground, his gun clenched tightly in his right hand as he advanced forward, making his way toward the edge.The rest of the men on top of their cars also leaped off and walked behind him. They all came to a halt at the cliff’s edge and glanced all the way down.“Is he insane or what?” one of the men in a black suit asked, his gaze fixed on the waters below. Mohammed’s car was barely visible. Only the top could be seen, and a few seconds later, the car was no longer visible as it sank into the water.“I knew he was a nut job, but I wasn’t actually expecting him to drive off a cliff,” another man muttered.“Do you think he’s dead?” he asked, turning toward Kael.“I don’t think he survived that,” Kael bellowed, his gaze never leaving the waters below. “He’s injured. There’s no way he’d be able to swim. We’d have s

  • Daring Getaway

    Mohammed slammed his foot on the pedal and reversed at blinding speed, speeding away from the bridge."Quick! Don’t let him get away!" Kael shouted with authority, and Scott’s men jumped into their vehicles, engines roaring to life as they gave chase.Kael and his men surged forward at blinding speed, and up ahead, Mohammed was still reversing his car, trying desperately to escape the bridge.He reversed for several minutes, and when he was finally away from the barrier, he rotated the wheel sharply, making the car turn toward the road ahead. Without delay, he slammed the accelerator and surged forward.Kael and his men didn’t relent. They chased him at incredible speed, determined not to lose sight of him.Mohammed clenched the wheel tightly as he sped forward, his heart racing in his chest while sweat trickled down his face. He glanced at the side mirror occasionally to check if they were still behind him… but every time he looked, he spotted them gaining."Shit. How do I shake off

  • Checkpoint Killzone

    "Police," the driver muttered, his gaze fixated on the cop cars parked on the bridge a few meters away from where they were."Police?" A puzzled expression appeared on Mohammed’s face as he leaned forward to get a better view of the police cars. "There aren’t supposed to be any officers in this area. Hell, there isn’t supposed to be anyone at all out here," he muttered, his expression twisted in confusion.Mohammed had already done extensive research before coming here.This particular bridge had been abandoned by the Iralians after the government issued a warning about its instability. The bridge was rumored to be on the verge of collapsing, and if too many vehicles drove through it—or if too many people walked on it—it would give way. Ever since then, the bridge had been deserted. Everyone in the city avoided it to prevent becoming a casualty. It hadn’t been used in years. Mohammed knew this, which was exactly why he chose this area and this bridge as his escape route.But now, for

  • Beneath the black suits

    "What about the bodies?" Kelly inquired. "What do we do with these bodies?"Scott halted his steps and lowered his gaze, staring at the lifeless forms sprawled across the floor."Marcus, Kevin, Adriano, and Luca… they were good men," Scott said, his voice low and gravelly, his eyes locked onto the bloodied corpses. "They were their families’ breadwinners, and now they’re gone… because of me."He stood there in grim silence for several moments, the weight of guilt pressing heavily on his shoulders, before speaking again. "I’ll have their bodies sent back to their families. I’ll also give them a blank check. Whatever amount they wish to demand from me for their sons’ deaths… they’ll write it there. I’ll wire the funds directly to their accounts," he bellowed, his voice firm with conviction.Kelly gave a quiet nod in agreement."Let’s go," Scott said, and together they turned and walked out of the ward, making their way downstairs. Outside, the hospital compound was swarming with cop car

  • A promise written in blood

    The man barged into the ward, breathless, his chest heaving as he shifted his gaze toward Mohammed."We’ve got a problem, boss," he said, panting heavily. "Scott and his men are on their way here. We have to leave now."Mohammed’s eyes widened slightly at the words. "What do you mean? Are you sure?""Yes, boss. I caught a nurse making a phone call. She was definitely calling Scott—informing him about us," the man bellowed."I see," Mohammed muttered, then turned his gaze back to Aunt Kelly. His eyes narrowed."Remember our agreement, Kelly. Remember the deal. Deliver Scott to us and don’t breathe a word of it to anyone. If I find out you told someone—or tried to set us up—your son will die. No matter where he is, no matter what country he’s in, I will find him. And I will kill him. Even if I die, my men will hunt him down. So think twice before betraying me." Mohammed's voice was deep, menacing, thick with warning. Then, without another word, he turned to his men."Come on, boys," he

  • Gunpoint bargain

    "What do you mean some men are there and they want to kill Kelly and her son?" Kael questioned after hearing Camille’s words."I don't know exactly what's happening, but ever since they went upstairs, I've been hearing gunshots. I think they killed all the guards stationed in front of Edward's room, and now they're in to attack them," Camille articulated."That's bad. How many of them are there?" Kael inquired."I don't know. Not up to seven," Camille informed in a hushed tone."Alright. Thanks for the information. I'll let the boss know immediately," Kael bellowed."Alright. Please com—"BAM!Before she could finish her words, the entrance door flew open, and in came a man. Tall and muscular, clad in a long native attire, and his face thick with beards.When he spotted Camille making a call, his expression darkened, and he raised his pistol."You stupid bitch!" he spat. "Who were you calling?! The cops?!"The phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor, and her heart raced. She rai
