"No no no, we can't manage another party.We are already forming a crowd."Mercury objected pacing her room. "We would just give him the system and he would do his job. I can pay him off with cash and that's all."I said trying to calm Mercury who was already worked up. "Really? You think he wouldn't want to know where we got that system from and what we are up to? You think we are not going to be in trouble already?" "Wait, hold up Nerdy why are you acting up?If you don't want any more party then you should be able to have what it takes. Go on ahead and access the system yourself. We wouldn't be needing his help after all."Mercury became infuriated and made to attack Janet, who didn't even flinch. "One more word from you sicko -" "Hey, hey, Mercury stay calm. It's okay Janet. Enough of the riles." I interrupted Mercury and stopped her from moving towards Janet. "You may want to go to your room now, bitch. Show is over for tonight."Mercury said."Okay, goodnight loves. If you

Waiting for Janet's idea was not going down well with me. The last time I did, we landed our asses into trouble, though we had another knot untied. I guess being friends with her is a fifty-fifty stuff, you just have to hope it works out fine and then brace yourself to bear the consequences if it ever comes with any. Mercury never wanted to hear her idea, but not being able to come up with one at the moment, we were left with no option. "Okay, let's hear it sicko. We hope it's not going to lead us to our early graves this time."Mercury said. "Wow. Looks like someone is learning to tolerate me."Janet said smiling towards Mercury who glared back at her in displeasure. Janet cleared her throat and brought out her wallet paper and pen as she began with her narratives drawing it out. "I'd opine we take the basement tunnel, it has a manhole leading out. It's beside the administrative block. Don't worry your sweet asses, only I and my roomie know about it except of course, the people tha

There went a loud awkward silence as we waited for him to answer my question.I knew if I had allowed Janet to do the rest of the questioning herself, Benson would either die, before or after he'd answered the questions. Janet is a merciless fellow, she can be very brutal sometimes. So, I made sure to avert it. When he was done wrapping his coke, he lit it, drew a long smoke and puffed it in the air as he relax on his seat, looking at our faces one by one, Mercury was looking very cold. A lot had happened in a short period of being a Marshall. "I am, Karl Sullivan's brother, but precisely, Archibald's descendant. I have a son at the Marshalls. He must have met you guys. His name is George Anderson. I use to be a very good friend of Karl in high school untill he took a turn I never liked, but I kept him close, not letting him to read me or what I was going to be up to. Wealth comes with violence they say and I knew if I ever tried talking him out of his plans, he would have me killed,

Now, I don't know what you must have heard about land mines, but as a soldier and as someone who had experienced its life wrath, I could tell you that, land mines are not merciful weapons unless they are designed to be. If not, a weight as light as two kilograms triggers it and would cause it to blow off immediately. The least of the damages could be having your leg amputated. It is a Miracle that I live to tell this story.***************** Standing as still as we could. Mercury was already crying and breathing heavily. She thought she was dead. We all did. "Quit crying and just stay still, soldier. If you shift your weight then it's your last Nerdy and as much as we are not so good a pair, I would still love to have you around, so just hang in there, we would figure this out. We've always did, okay?" Janet whispered to Mercury trying to calm her down. We were suspended in the air, we could feel our weights in our chests. The situation was so severe and life threatening, we were b

After a long straight run, we halted to take in deep breaths as I held my knees with my hands to steady my balance, oh how I missed my burnt water flask, I needed it now more than ever. Janet tugged on my elbow pointing ahead of us, she was too breathless and spent to speak, gasping for air, she brought out her inhaler and used it to soothe her burning nerves. I made sure she was okay before looking at the direction she pointed, it was a ware house stocked up with weapons, we were desperately in need of them because our lives was in serious danger, getting to the door, it was locked. Janet immediately searched around for any possible stuff to knock out the lock, then she came back to the door with a long iron rod, she handed it to me and I inserted it on the padlock making sure it was balancing on the door, with one step back, I bent the rod together with Janet who held the very end of it and the padlock broke into two pieces making its way to the floor. Janet pushed the door open and
