MR WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“Who are you going to meet?” My wife asked after my assistant left.“I have to go meet Sniper. They have captured the youngest of the Robinson’s family. His last grandson. I am going to trade the case for his life with Edward. I can not wait to see what their choice will be.” I said.“You mean you are going to ask them to drop the case in exchange for the young boy’s life?” My side asked and I nodded.“Although, there is something I am confused about currently. Edward mentioned someone died last night earlier when he showed up all of a sudden. That would be none other than Thomas, the business mogul who was also shot alongside Robinson. He thinks I am responsible for his death. I checked in with Sniper and he confirmed not doing anything if such.” I said.“Really? Is that a good news or not though? I am well convinced Sniper did not do that because these rogues only carry out tasks they were being paid for. They do not waste their efforts. The m
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWAfter the full moon night procession, Grace and I left. Smart stayed back for reasons best known to him. Thankfully, one of the security personnel knew how to drive so he took us home. We could not wait for Taylor because he still did not show up after the procession. We were awfully tired. I just wanted to retire in my bed and sleep. I had to ask him to drive us home. He returned to the sacred house after dropping us at home. Grace and I went to sleep almost immediately. No chit chatting or discussion whatsoever. That was how much tired we were. I woke up the following morning by my bedside alarm. I stretched and went into my bathroom. I brushed my teeth then had a shower. I was contemplating on whether I should go to the hospital that morning or not. I put on a free maxi skirt then used the scarf of same fabric to style my hair in a ponytail style. I looked at my reflection in the mirror then when I was satisfied, I went downstairs to meet Grac
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI had no idea if it was the way I shouted at her or because of the tragic news she was about to break to me but she burst into a fresh tear after I snapped at her to tell me what was wrong already and quit the suspense.“Thomas is dead.” She said finally.I stood there staring at her for a few seconds wondering if she had gone insane or I was the one dreaming. “What is that supposed to mean? That is not possible.” I spoke in denial then went to my grandfather, “Grandpa? Tell me my mum does not know what she is saying and all that I just heard right now is gibberish?” I said with my voice already breaking from the cry that had built up in my throat. I could feel my chest burning and my head getting heavier as I held on to grandpa and shook him to speak but all I got from him was a pity look and him trying to calm me down, “Celestia, calm down. It is the truth. We just confirmed and rushed over here to make sure you were okay.” That was the last
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWWe were scouting the environment when the gate to the building Tony pointed to rustled. Someone was trying to open it from inside. One side of the gate opened so we jumped to different hiding spots around then peeped to see what was about to happen. A young man dressed in an all black outfit looking like a private force member came out alone. He locked the gate then started walking towards us, the path that led to the main street. I wondered what he wanted to get that he came out alone considering the fact that the main street was as deserted as the most deserted desert in the world. He was on foot and that would definitely not get him to anywhere he could get anything. We stayed put in our hiding spot for him to pass by. I was contemplating what to do with him when he made a turn into another building. When he was gone, I jumped and went over to where Tony was quietly so my footsteps would not announce our presence. “Do they use all the buildings
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWThe man we captured reflexive bent his head to dodge the hit and honestly, I was a bit scared for him because I did not think he had recovered from the previous one. However, the chief security held his fist in the air. He slowly looked up when he felt nothing then saw that was just a scare punch. The chief security then put down his hand and opened the fist. “You see, it would be in your best interest to answer everything I am asking you now before you get a new look for free by my hands.” The chief security threatened.I guessed he knew there was no way out of this one as they were all ready to turn him into a punching bag and pass him around so he gave up and started answering the chief security’s questions. Apparently, he was collecting rent fee from the homeless staying in every abandoned building in the area.He explained, “I do this on the side to fend some more money for myself so our boss knows nothing about it. I threatened to make living
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWEric has just announced our presence to the rest of the men in the building. We had to hide behind some shelves in the corridor. I could hear noises of the men coming towards the corridor in search for us as Eric described to them. They searched all over but did not think of checking behind thr shelves. We had to squeeze ourselves in between the little space between the wall and the shelves. I leaned flatly and sucked in my tummy. I had to steady my breathing so I did not make any sound at all. I could have come out of hiding but there were truly a lot of them just as Eric mentioned earlier so it would be a disaster move.“Where are they? Or are you playing us because you do not want to remit the money you went to collect to us?” One of them said doubting Eric as they saw no sign of us.“No, of course trust me. Here, see my mouth. They did this to me. They said they are here for the boy we brought in yesterday.” Eric said trying to convince them as
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI flew over literarily and “po-o-o!” was the sound I heard as I rolled over and fell flat on the other side. The rest helped me get up but the bullet had grazed my arm. Thankfully, it was a slight graze but I bled regardless. “You are bleeding!” Taylor screamed on seeing blood gushing out from my left arm.“It is nothing. I said as I unwrapped the scarf I had around my neck to complement my outfit then tied it around the wound to stop the bleeding. The chief security helped me with it and it was done in no time. The wound hurt like crazy but it was not something I could not handle until we got to the hospital. “Let us find our way back to where our cars were parked.” Smart said.Taylor tried getting up and walked on his own but could not.“What happened? You walked a while back in there?” Smart asked him as he found it hard to get his balance then groaned when he tried too hard. He gave up and sat back on the floor.“I think I must have broken my
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI turned the ignition on then turned the steering with my other hand.“Are you sure you can drive in this stare of yours or should I take over?” Tony asked on seeing my struggle trying to navigate through with my injured arm.“Oh, do not bother. It is nothing.” I said as I tried to get the right gear and control the steering at the same time but my left arm which suffered the gunshot injury felt too heavy to move. I had no choice but to switch seats with Tony and get in the front passenger’s seat.“You need medical attention immediately. We are heading to the hospital first before anything.” He said as he successfully made U-turn and headed back the way home. I rested my head on the seat rest then turned my neck to check Smart and Taylor seated at the back. Taylor looked lost. I felt pity for him that instance because he had no idea yet that his brother was dead.We got to the hospital in no time. We took Taylor in to get checked up and admitted in
