"Get down!" Emily commanded annoyed at the fact that Walter and Greg are not cooperating.Owen knew the next thing that'll happen, and since he also knows Greg and Walter. He knows they're bad decisions maker.They don't think before they engage in something, especially when it comes down to life and death.That was why he knew how easy the mission will go.Walter immediately started the engine making Emily, and James's eyes widen at the sudden sound.Walter drove the car straight towards them, and in fear, Emily, and James rolled themselves on the ground from where they stood, out of the way to avoid getting hit."Shoot the tires." Leo reminded me in a calm voice.His calm voice irked Emily a lot, because of the high tension she was on. She couldn't believe how calm he could be in the situation they were in.Greg and Walter were happy seeing they were making the run for it, but they felt the back tires from both sides of the truck crash down, thereby stopping them from moving further

"It never got there?!" Mr. Hodge's voice boomed out loud in anger, as he stood up from his chair trying to wrap around his head at the bad news that just hit him like a hundred bullets."Yes, Sir. We were also surprised at the outcome. We didn't know the cops will be there." Lion told him over the phone and looked at Owen who was a bit sorry since Lion was shouldering it all.Mr. Hodge's voice was ragged. The anger on his face was so obvious, you could think he'll kill anyone that walk up to him."This isn't happening." He said shaking his head. "This can't happen, Lion! How did it happen?" He yelled out loud. "This is money I lost! A lot of it!" He hit his hand on his desk in anger. "Damn it!" He cursed out loud."Sir, Sir. Two of our men were caught by the police. What should be done?" Lion asked since that was also a big problem.Mr. Hodge's heart was beating heavily, as his chest rose up, and down in rapid breaths. "I'll...I'll deal with that. They have to be silenced before they'

Two days later. (10th. September. Friday.)Mr. Hodge smiled at the good news in front of him. He was excited knowing it didn't take long for Kevin Barnes to call, and for them to reset the meeting."I know everything about you is strictly business, Mr. Barnes, but with what you called me for which I can tell is good news. I think we deserve some champagne to celebrate." Mr. Hodge made it known.Mr. Barnes sighed. "I think you realize I'm taking risks here, Mr. Hodge. I don't really see any need to celebrate until I see a likable outcome to my decision."Mr. Hodge chuckled. "You should always chill, Mr. Barnes. The gains of our collaboration will work in your favor. When you make your first gain, then you won't be able to stop. I assure you."Mr. Barnes nodded still a bit uneasy. "Alright. What exactly am I needed for?"Mr. Hodge shook his head. "You are such a killjoy, Mr. Barnes. Always diving first into the water without caring how deep it could be."Mr. Barnes furrowed his brows in

Alexa kept looking at the list for more things to buy, but everything on her list was checked.They've gotten the onesies, baby outfits, and everything about clothes that she was to buy. They've also gotten the gears, everything for feeding, bathing, diapering, toys, and even for their health, and safety that could be placed in the nursery which also the items needed to create it are checked.But she was in thought for anything else needed, and she wasn't affected by the time they'd spent on it.On the other hand, Leo happened to be the one affected, cause he was feeling exhausted and wondering what more they have to buy. What annoyed him more is his standing in front of Alexa, as she sat and let him do the work.Alexa was helping, but for some reason, she stopped since she was tired to keep going.Leonard tried to persuade them to come back another time, but she blatantly refused.If she isn't his wife, and if he didn't love her...Leonard sighed loudly wanting her to see how tired

3RD PERSON POV.Two weeks later. (29th September. Wednesday.)No. No. This isn't happening. This can't happen to me. No!"How did this happen?!" Mr. Hodge yelled at all of them whose heads were bowed unable to answer any questions thrown at them.They knew best not to reply him whenever he was in one of his fits.His ragged breath was obviously seen cause of the way his chest rose up and down heavily."Sir, we..."A gunshot was heard as one of his goons tried to talk.Owen and every other flinched at the sudden gunshot. The fear was totally conspicuous in their features.They heard a thud and turned to see that the guy who tried to talk was flat dead."You guys think any excuse is necessary at the moment? The deed is done!" Mr. Hodge told all of them with rage in his eyes.Owen gulped. He was scared of how wrong things could go if the boss doesn't calm down."Maybe one of you two that are supposed to be my shadows should die too." Mr. Hodge threatened.Owen and Lion immediately knelt
