Sophia was waken by a series of shots, then suddenly the door of the bedroom burst opened a man walks towards the bed and shot at the one lying beside her. She screamed and was slapped into silence.
"What are we going to do with her?" Another man walks in and asked.
"I don't know she not in our list but she saw us." They both eyeing her naked form.
"Such a waste if we execute her without, you know what? "They shared a knowing look and smiled devilishly.
The next day the media trending news 'Mayor shot dead naked in his apartment, rumoured mistress missing.'
"What seems to be the matter? your enemy was always one step ahead of you. You have the evidence but it's too late because your target is dead and your witness gone missing." The chief reprimanded Douglas and his men.
" It's just one of those situation we are not in control of, we're not in luck this time." Doug reason out. His chief was always breathing in his neck ever since he was assign to this department.
"Don't blame it on luck Flores you and your men are just too slow, If your not to it then just dropped this case hand it over to other who's more capable! " Short of saying that they are almost out of the case.
"Chief if every time we face a blank wall in handling cases, we quit, then we will never solve any case. We still have Intel that can be used just give us time we will get this thing done." Douglas has a feeling that he has to feed the chief with hope so that they will not be dropped out of the case.
"What Intel? Are you withholding information from me?" his chief suddenly got interested in what he's saying, as what Doug is expecting.
"I'm sorry, it's still early to divulge this information, we are still decoding the evidence." He refused as he has a plan in his mind its about time he bring this into reality.
"Just remember I am your superior you report directly to me of any development. "His chief said.
It was actually a trap. Douglas suspected that their chief is involved in this dealing because of their failed moves. their enemy was always one step ahead of them and only their chief briefed of their plan as per protocol.At this time a body of a woman was found dead thrown in the bushes. The body was completely n**ed with signs of being r**"d, with bruises and shot in the forehead.
Douglas was saddened when he saw the body of Sophia. He was secretly been dealing with her. She was giving him information on the dealings of the mayor. He failed to protect her as he promised.More so when he read the news involving the wife of the mayor who was innocent to all of it and was accused being the mastermind sighting love triangle is the cause of the execution of the mayor and his mistress. She was held in prison pending cases. The organization had totally manipulated the media with their influences.Catherine was shocked with the news of her cousin Debra the wife of the mayor. She didn't believed the news.
"This is unbelievable Debra is a pure soul she's the victim rather than the oppressor.""Who is Mom? Kathy ask her mother seeing her mother disturbed by the news.
"Debra my first cousin, Her family was the one who took me in when my parents died. she used to worked abroad then came home to marry in order to fulfill the will of her father before he died." Her mother explained.
"You mean the one who is on the news being held responsible for the death of her husband and his mistress?" She asked. she is already familiar with the news since her team is looking already at the possible connection of the mayor on corruption and alleged drug dealing.
"Yes, Henry Will you come with me to visit Debra she must be worried for her twins." Her mother asked her father."I'm sorry dear I'm having a seminar remember?" Her father replied
" Oh! I forgot. Her mother said disappointedly.
"Don't worry mom, I'm coming with you." Kathy volunteered, this is a good excuse to gather more information. She thought.
"How are you Debbie" Catherine asked her cousin
"Cathy, I am innocent, I have endured Gus womanizing for a long time for me to react now... I fear for my children where will they go? who will take care of them? if I will be convicted. I don't want them to go to Gus side of the family." Debra said in between sobs. Her husband's relations maybe hating her since no one came to check on her or help to bail her out.
"Don't worry Debbie we will help. I already talk to my husband we will look after them while you tackle this situation. just you prepare the necessary paperwork."
"Thanks Cathy, You know I don't have anyone now except for my children." She said in between sobs.
"Hush Debbie you still have me, we're family aren't we. besides my youngest is already in high school what's another cute fellows to run around the house."
"Auntie do you have any idea who frame you?" Kate inquired in a low voice.
"Why?.... I don't know, we both agreed to get a divorce after the election. I decided to settled abroad to raise my children away from all of this." Kate contemplated on this.
"Do have something or anything to help you in this case? Think auntie maybe there is something we can use." Kate asked, she also suspected her lawyer might had been bribed because of the slow movement of her case.
"We have a written agreement on this but we didn't release it so as not to jeopardize his chances of winning the election. " She suddenly said.
"Where is it?" Kathy asked
"It's with my lawyer." She replied
"Is there any other evidence we can use ? I don't mean to pressure you auntie,,,, but do you know of uncle Gus involvement in drug dealings?" Kathy hesitated to asked this sensitive issue.
"I've heard rumours but never confronted him we had been living like strangers for a very long time. But I was overwhelmed with the amount of money coming in so I decided to have my investment and assets move abroad so as not to be involved in whatever illegal deeds he is in." Debbie clarified.
"Did you tell anyone about it?" Kathy dig in more information.
"No, but you can find documents in connection with this in my vault behind a painting in my room. here is the combination." She handed her a piece of paper. she took it and look at it then destroyed it.
" We don't keep evidence like this open to the enemy, auntie." She told her aunt and she nodded in agreement.
The guards approaches them informing them that time is up for the visitation.
Debbie was taken back to his cell and Kathy and her mother left to fetched the children after seeing her lawyer. Kathy sent her mother home with the children, saying she has important thing to do. Her mother agrees if it means a help for her cousin, after telling her to be careful.She went to check the house of the mayor and found that it was difficult to get inside. it was heavily guarded and she realized that not only the guards but also the authorities as well as the drug organization are guarding the place.
She have to carefully plan her next move. She have to obtain whatever documents available before it falls on the wrong hands and prevent her aunt being doomed forever.
She open her laptop and study the layout of the mayor house and its surrounding, looking for entry and escape route. she prepared everything before setting out for her mission. Hoping against hope that nobody has beaten her to that.
At the same moment someone is also making the same plan. just like her and they are bound to clash.Kate was able to locate her target and she successfully retrieved the documents in the vault, as she was getting ready to exit she heard someone is walking to direction.She quickly hide behind one of the curtains. The shadow walks towards the painting on the wall and tap it. He raise the painting and open the vault only to find it empty."Damn!" he cursed. He search the room for anything that he can make use of. he open the drawers and found something and took it, as he retreated to where he came from, he notice the unusual pattern on the curtain as the moonlight cast a shadow on the window. a silhouette of a person, to be precise it is a woman basing on the curves that its shadow is showing.He quickly took his knife and abruptly pull the curtain sending Kaitlyn hurling towards him. It was a good thing that she was able to control her fall before his knife hit her.She immediately retaliated by kicking the han
I have something for you Doug! " she was a little breathless. "Whoah!! careful bunny." he quickly caught her when she Tripped on the wires that was lying on the floor connected to the screen monitors. "Don't start now Pinocchio or you'll lose the biggest bust of your entire career." she said angrily, but never denied the tingling feeling she felt when he hold her in his arms. "Would you rather I let you kiss the floor?" Doug intentionally teases her with her hated nickname. "I rather you stop calling me names pertaining my ears you... you beast! wipe that smirk off your face." she's near to tears embarrassed by the look Doug colleagues gave her . "I'm sorry Kathy dear. Alright what is it." He stopped his teasing seeing her embarrassment. "If it's not for... " she held her tongue. And handed him a piece of paper. He look at it and his face brighten. "Is it confirmed? You're not pulling my leg now?" He got
A year after....Kaitlyn was busy writing her report to beat the deadline when her phone rang. She check on the number registered and wondered, Why on earth only now this guy is calling her."Hello," she greeted."Hi bunny how are you?" he replied"Considering, I haven't heard from you for a long time, What is it now Pinocchio?" She sense that he wants something from her."Ouch! my poor heart, why will you think that I need something from you other than checking on my best friend?" He said teasing her and imagine her nose flaring in annoyance."First you are not my best friend, secondly, a friend doesn't take advantage to the other. And thirdly I know you like the back of my hand. Now spit it out Douglas!" She earned him."Well , I need your connection and your help bunny, I'm in big trouble." He sounded like embarrassed but Kaitlyn knew better."Sorry I'm busy." She said dismissing his appea
Kaitlyn, tried to reach Douglas body with her leg to wake him up."Hmmmm...." he stirred. she breathe a sigh of relief, but when she saw his face she realize the biggest mistake she made. Douglas opened his eyes but as if he doesn't see or recognized her, He has a sinister look, lust is showing all over his face and he sounded like a wounded hungry animal, and at this moment she is his prey."oh my God,,, oh my God!!! Douglas wake up!!!""Oh my God what shall I do now!!!"she started to panic and tried to turn away but her movement is restraint. As Douglas made his move towards his prey, with hungry eyes."Okay, Kaitlyn breathe relax,,, breathe in breathe out,,, inhale, exhale....hmmm.,.. haahh." She calm herself.Kaitlyn tried to maneuver to release her hand from the ropes, she felt that the ropes are loosening up, but Doug was in front of her and trying to rip her clothes and
Mean while...Doug was led to a long and narrow hallway and was ushered into a room that was a welcome relief from the metal box that he and Kaitlyn was kept.At the side of the spacious room is a balcony that has the best view to the city's skyline, A silhouette of a person standing observing the view outside is visible from the side of the half open drapes. He recognized that figure anywhere. As the figure turn to face them,"Hello Douglas,,, long time no see." smiling the person was glad seeing him. she gesture with her hand to others to leave them."Tamara,,, long time no see...." Taking in his surrounding, the bits and pieces of things found there that spelled wealth and luxury, and the appearance of the woman in front of him." So this is where you've gone to?""Well,,, a girl needs to make money and live comfortably and not be dependent on a what a man has to offer." Doug observed by the look of this room that Tamara really love expensive things that money has to buy,
"I'm sorry Kaithy you leave me no choice, I have to kill you both to avoid complications later on. But first take the the time to say goodbye to your boyfriend." smiling evilly he handed the gun to Tamara."Now, I gave you the honor to kill your love rival, if not for her Douglas would have been with you. Don't waste this opportunity show me you have the guts and how cold blooded you are. He he he.""You are beyond redemption Jessie! You will pay for this!" Kaitlyn braced herself and got ready for the next move."Dream on Kaithy, don't say I never gave you the chance. Don't worry I will be saddened by your death thinking of the times we shared together. You were like a sister to me. But can't help things the way they are. Goodbye little sister." he somehow have a strange look on his face, and for a while Kaitlyn had a glimpse of the Jessie she have known before. She never doubted the things he had said or the feelings they had shared treating each other like siblings. She never tho
Jessie aimed his gun at her, acting on a reflex due to her training she beat him before he made the second shot....."Noooo...." Kaitlyn wakes up wet from perspiration and tears.Still wasn't able to get over the events that happened a month ago. She still having this nightmare once in a while. After the event she was force to take a leave of absence to be able to pull herself together and get over the guilt of killing Jessie. She undergone psychiatric sessions herself while on leave.Unable to go back to sleep after drinking a glass of water, she went to open the sliding door of her balcony and take in the fresh and cool breeze coming from the early morning air and sea.She came to this place to have her retreat and calm herself and to take back the control of her emotions. She can hear the slapping of the waves across the shore, which is just about 200 meters from the rest house that her aunt Debbie let her use in her ret

A man was having a heated discussion with two other men they work on the same warehouse at the site overlooking the sea a few kilometers from Kaitlyn's retreat house."You have overuse your extension Duteso wants his money, and you have to give it now or be in serious situation.""But I don't have it now. my buyer took the items and ran away.""You want us to believe you? Your girlfriend took the money and ran and instead of reporting it to the organization for proper action you go to the cops." one-man said."That was dumbest thing to do Diego!" the other man said."I didn't go to the cops, they invited me for questioning about the murder that happen in our vicinity, The neighbors reported me as a person of interest pending investigation."" That's another dumb thing to do killing your girlfriend's ex. in your vicinity. People will suspec
