2024-01-23 22:30:47Scott walked into the living room of Mr Fernando and found the whole family there waiting for him. Everyone glaring at him with looks of disgust and hate as he walked in.
It was now clear to Scott that Pedro already informed them since he was present there also."Scott,i want you to confirm if what Pedro told me just now is true." Mr Fernando spoke. "Did you try to steal the item from his office?" Mr Fernando questioned."No,Sir,it is all a misunderstanding. I didn't take it." Scott replied without hesitating or stammering."Just shut up!" Mrs Shiela chimed in,her voice mixed with anger and hatred. "You didn't take it? Why then was it found in your locker?!""I told you there was no use inviting him over. He would just keep on denying it!" Louis spat.Scott clenchend his fist in anger. If not for the fact that he needed to marry Catoline at all cost,he would have just broken up with her and get seperated from this wicked family."Scott,Pedro here showed me the video that was recorded by the surveilliance camera last night. It showed you walk into the office and when you walked in,the video blacked out." Mr Fernando explained in a cool tone as he tried to understand what was going on."Yes, i did enter into the office. But i only entered there to clean it since it's my job to clean after every worker has left." Scott responded. "And as for the surveilliance camera,i have no idea why it malfunctioned. It was probably a power cut out or something."Pedro who has been sitting there,angry that Scott seemed to be answering every single question without hiccup decided to spoke up. "Every other camera was working,except the one in the office and the one in the locker room,so it wasn't a power cut out. You probably messed with the cameras just to cover your tracks!"After hearing Pedro's words,Scott shifted his gaze to Caroline who stood there with a look of surprise and disbelief. Scott could see that Caroline was starting to believe the words Pedro spoke."And when the item was found in his locker today,he claimed to have no idea how it got there and he has a witness who can testify that they were both together the whole time. But when i questioned the so called witness,she said Scott was lying and they both never hung out!" Pedro continued."I honestly have no idea how the item ended up in my locker. I think someone planted it there!" Scott voiced out,his gaze fixed on Pedro which sent shivers down his spine and he began to sweat."What do you mean someone planted it there?" Mr Fernando asked with an attentive look."I don't know. A poor boy like me getting married to a girl who has turned down lots of guys. It normal that maybe one of those guys who has been chasing her isn't happy about our marriage is trying to frame me and make me look like a bad guy and make you cancek the wedding." Scott explained in a confident tone.All the while Scott explained,his eyes was fixated on Pedro who now hadca nervous expression and became restless."You speak nonsense,Trash!" Aunt Zaya chimed in. "Who would seriously get jealous for a nobody like you? You are nothing but a trash that belongs in the gutter and not worthy of marrying the only daughter of Mr Fernando!"This time around,Scott chuckled after hearing Aunt Zaya's words which made her face go bright red in anger."I think you are just jealous that someone younger than you is getting married before you. I mean,look at you,you are close to 40 years and still living with your brother." Scott shook his head in disapointment.Aunt Zaya and other family member clenchened their fist and gritted their teeth in anger as Scott talked back at her."Look at him,he has no respect. He stole from us and still has the guts to insult Zaya!" Mrs Shiela voiced out in anger."I think Scott is right." Mr Fernando said." And besides he didn't insult anyone. He only stated facts. And by the way,did the camera record Scott actually taking the item?" Mr Fernando inquired,shifting his gaze towards the nervous Pedro."No,Sir. He messed with the camera before it could capture him leaving with it." Pedro replied."I promise i didn't take it. Give me a couple of days to prove to you that i am innocent." Scott spoke up.The entire living room became silent as Scott spoke those words. Everyone was waiting for Mr Fernando to give his final decision."It's not like i believe you,Scott,but i am jusy giving you a chance to prove yourself and bring out evidence that proves your innocence." Mr Fernando stated. "You have 10 days to prove yourself. Unfailingly,I will cancel this wedding and sentence you to prison."The entire room began to murmur among themselves after hearing Mr Fernando's decision towards Scott. They felt like Mr Fernando already liked Scott even if he was out of their league."Thank you,Sir. I would try to prove my innocence." Scott replied joyfully before walking out of the living room and racking his brain on how he was going to prove his innocence.

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
