Linda followed Kevin closely like a lost lamb. She couldn't ignore the feeling of regret and self blame she was having now. How she wished she hadn't done that. She saw people rushing in the direction Kevin was going. Some people saw her and were surprised but they kept their thoughts in thier mind. They have never seen this woman here before but since she was with Kevin, then they had no problem. Was she Kevin's fiance, it couldn't be, she looked much older than thier boss. Anyway who could question tiger. Linda followed Kevin, and they soon found themselves in a room.
It was a very large room painted in casual colours that made it seemed so simple. Strangely there was nothing in the room but 6 mountains on packed chairs. There was also a small podium in the room. Linda stared at the unfamiliar faces in the room and slightly felt impatient. Then she heard Kevin's impatient voice again. This time his anger and impatient wasn't towards her but rather the people in the room.
" What are you all standing there for. Waiting for a royal invitation. "
They were all speechless not knowing what to say. One of them tried to say that they were waiting for him but Kevin quickly said
" hurry and go if you don't want to die with those damn government rats ( police men )"
Linda was somehow confused by Kevin's words. He had ordered them earlier to meet at this place and now he is telling them to go. There was no way here unless...
Then to her surprise, one of the men walked to the switch on the wall. He pressed on the switch trice and then, the wall in front of them suddenly cracked open. It slowly opened with a slightly loud sound. Then a tunnel was before them. There were lights in the tunnel making the place a little bit bright. The people around begun walking into the tunnel in large strides. Kevin asked one of them seriously
" Is everyone present here "
" yes Tiger, and we have few minutes left. "
Soon everyone entered leaving Kevin and Linda. Kevin gave Linda a hard glare and Linda immediately understood it. She quickly entered and Kevin followed. Once Kevin entered, he forcefully pressed on one of the bricks and then the a sound was heard, followed by the wall closing. Linda stared at everything that was unfolding in front of her in amazement. She had seen it before but never thought she would ever see anything like that in her life. Then behind the walls, they heard unfamiliar and distant sound. Kevin then urged her to quickly go and she did as she was told. As they walked further away, the place suddenly shoke. It was a sign that the explosives had exploded.
After a long walk in the tunnel, they finally reached outside. Linda found herself in the other side of the forest. It wasn't really thick though but the trees were tall. A man walked to Kevin and said professionally
" Tiger, by now the government rats must be dead. We've also reached the 'bidding way '.
The next tunnel to our car parking lot is at the other end across the bridge. Some of the government rats may not be dead. If they decide to come after us we wouldn't be safe here. "
Kevin nodded and said
" ok, hurry I would be behind you. Make sure everyone reaches there safe "
The man said again
" okay Tiger, they would be waiting for you at the other end. But I have to be with you. Scorpion (Ron) had entrusted that work to me"
Kevin nodded and said nothing more knowing he couldn't persuade this man to go. The man quickly went to report the news to his fellow people. Soon they begun walking in another direction, picking up the goods with them. The goods made there journey slightly slower. Kevin turned his head and he met Linda's gaze. Kevin felt a little uncomfortable with her gaze and asked in annoyance
" what "
Linda asked in surprise
" what is the meaning of this Kevin "
She was really surprised by the scenes that unfolded before her eyes and found it hard to believe it. What has her little brother become, a boss of some mafia group. How did this happen and why did it happened. The brother she left at home was innocent and would never engage himself in such activities even if he was forced. What could make him yeild to such a situation and even worse at a young age, he seems to be the leader of the group. He even ordered for the annihilation of more than a dozen police officers without battling an eye. Is he still her brother. Kevin on the other hand didn't know what was going on in her mind and asked with a confused expression
" what do you mean by that. Linda, we do not have much time follow them and when we get at the parking lot, we part ways. We don't meet again"
Linda stubbornly asked with a pained expression
" what have you become Kevin, you weren't like this. "
Linda's question made Kevin turned stiff for 5 seconds. His face darkened again for the who knows how many times that day. He couldn't believe that linda could have the cheek to ask such a question. What had he become. He scoffed inwardly at her question. She had made him this. It was all because of Linda that he was living this miserable life. He was been forced into it and even though his main course was to avenge his grandma, he was stuck. He couldn't pull himself from this life. Ever since he became Maxwell's son, he had several duties to play in the black circle and non of these works were simple. They were all illegal works, money laundering, smuggling, narcoticst trafficking, cybercrime just name it. At the age of 11, he was forced to watch his so-called-father mercilessly murdering people infront of him. It hadn't happened just once but on countless occasions, he saw the cutting of tongues, removal of the fingernails, removal of eyes, headless bodies and more horrifying events. These events made him more heartless and heartless. He had been intraumafor days and this even frequently triggered his disease. A huge part of his soul was killed and the remaining one was for his loved ones. There was no room for sympathy or forgiveness. He even managed his first casino at the age of 16 years. He had to, he had no other choice. Who cares about reporting it to the police, they are all corrupted. Once most of them heard it was the black circle, they all coward in fears. They were indeed just some government rats. As time went by, he was forced to accept his current situation and got used to it. But who could he blame for having such a cruel life, not only Maxwell but Linda. He hated them to the bone but evennow had decided to let it go. Now she who was the cause is asking him who he jad become. This was interestingly amusing. He couldn't help but curl his lips and scoffed
" Linda could you stop pretending in front of me they are disgusting to my eyes "
Linda gasped and was about to talk again when suddenly they heard the familiar voice. It was the same person who had been talking to Kevin earlier. His voice was somehow filled with tension as he spoked
" Tiger, another badge of police is suddenly in. We weren't informed early and are in trouble. We should quickly leave before they see us. Most of the men have crossed the bridge. That is our only way, once we cross the bridge, we are safe "
Kevin said with a stern voice
" tell the remaining men to prepare themselves in case of any attack and quickly cross the bridge secretly "
The man nodded and said
" ok Tiger but what about you "
Kevin smirked and said
" I'm behind you "
The man reluctantly went. Kevin turned and walked away not bothering about Linda. She cam stay if she want. He thought. Linda, on the other hand saw Kevin's indifference and sighed. Then she tried to catch up with him.
But then suddenly, they was a loud gunshot and an alarming voice followed
" they are here, quickly move to the bridge without being noticed "
Linda shivered in fear. She hadn't expected this.
