Chapter 68: Captured
‘Something is not right.’ Alfred thought to himself, then he faced the guards.
“Inform me when he’s back.” He said.
“Okay boss.” The two guards bowed, and Alfred turned around, then he began walking back to his mansion.
“Something fishy is going on.” He mumbled as he continued walking to his mansion.
A car containing Caesar, Rose, Matilda and Theresa drove speedily into the silent area and pulled up in front of three vans.
Seven hefty men alighted from the vans as Caesar, Theresa, Rose and Matilda came down from their car.
The seven men had dangerous looks on their faces which was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.
Six of the men were dressed in black tailored suits while a man who stood in their middle wore an orange suit which was designed with black stripes like that of a tiger.
The men waited as Caesar approached them with Rose, Matilda and Theresa walking behind him. Each of them carried two briefcases stacked with cocaine.
They stopped in front of the men, and the man who stood in their middle stepped forward.
He moved his gaze from Caesar to Matilda, to Rose, then he fixed his gaze on Theresa.
He brought out his phone and he checked a picture on it before returning his gaze back to Theresa.
‘Why the fuck is he staring at me that way?’ Theresa thought to herself as she casted the man a stony stare.
The whole place was silent as silent as a graveyard as no one uttered a word. The two gangs were watching each other closely, ready to attack if needed.
“We’ve brought the stuffs you requested, Tiger.” Caesar finally broke the long silence. “Where’s the payment.”
The man putting on an orange suit whose name was Tiger, took his gaze off Theresa, and he gazed at Caesar.
“Hand the stuffs over to my men and you’ll get the payment.” Tiger said in a deep masculine voice.
“No,” Caesar disagreed. “Payment first, then you’ll get the stuffs you requested.”
Tiger remained quiet for a while, staring at Caesar who was also staring back at him.
Tiger then snapped his fingers a minute later, and two of his men marched forward with four briefcases in their hands.
They opened the briefcases to reveal bundles of new dollar notes stacked in the briefcases.
“That’s the payment.” Tiger said, and the two men closed the briefcases, then they dropped them in front of Caesar.
Caesar handed the two briefcases of cocaine in hands to the two men who checked it to confirm if it’s really what they requested for.
They nodded at Tiger when they were done confirming it.
Rose stepped forward and she also handed the two briefcases of cocaine to Tiger’s men.
Matilda did the same, then Theresa also walked forward to hand over the briefcases in her hands.
As she stretched the two briefcases in her hands to one of Tiger’s men, Tiger swiftly grabbed her by her jacket and pulled her closer to himself, then he placed his gun on her head.
Theresa groaned as Tiger wrapped his arm around her neck, choking her and she began gasping for breath.
Caesar, Rose and Matilda immediately brought out their guns and they pointed at Tiger and his men who also had their weapons aimed at them.
“Let her go.” Caesar said in a stern voice with his finger on the trigger.
“She’s not going anywhere. She’s coming with us.” Tiger said, tightening his left arm around Theresa’s neck while placing the mouth of his gun on her head.
“I won’t repeat myself, Tiger. Let her go, or else you and your men are gonna visit the land of the dead in a minute time.” Caesar said in a threatening voice, and Tiger let out a shrill laughter, his golden teeth shinning devilishly.
“I should be the one saying that to you and not you saying that to me.” Tiger said amidst laughter, then he suddenly stopped laughing, and his expression changed into a serious one. “Look around you, you are fucking outnumbered.” He added.
Caesar, Rose and Matilda looked around the place to see more than ten snipers on the top of different buildings aimed at them.
“You’re outnumbered so drop your weapons and turn around with your hands up.” Tiger said.
“That’s not gonna happen.” Matilda replied, casting him a deadly glare.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Theresa was still struggling to free herself from tiger’s grip.
She’d have made a counter attack and beat him up, but he had a loaded gun aimed at her head.
“Don’t try to act smart young lady ’cause if you do that, I’ll be forced to pull the trigger and shoot you dead without thinking twice. So, it’s best you cooperate with us if you still value your life.” Tiger whispered into her ears, and Theresa stopped struggling.
“Now tell them to drop their weapons and turn around.” Tiger whispered again.
“Drop your weapons and turn around!!” Theresa said, loud enough for them to hear.
“What the fuck are you saying Theresa?! We can’t fucking do that!!” Matilda replied, tightening her grip on her gun.
“I said drop your fucking weapons and turn around!!!” Theresa yelled, and they had no other choice than to do so.
They dropped their weapons and raised both their hands up, turning around slowly.
“Tiger, you’ll surely regret this when the boss finds out.” Caesar said, and Tiger scoffed
“I won’t regret shit.” Tiger replied, then he covered Theresa’s nose with a drugged handkerchief, making her loose consciousness.
One of his men immediately carried Theresa’s unconscious body into a van.
Caesar clenched his jaw and folded his fists angrily.
He felt the urge to pick up his gun and shoot down Tiger and his men, but they were greatly outnumbered. Any slight move would cost them their life, so he had no other choice than to remain in his position.
“Let’s move!” Tiger said, and he ran towards the vans with his men.
Matilda quickly bent and picked up her gun, then she swiftly turned around and aimed at Tiger.
She was about to pull the trigger when one of the snipers shot her arm.
“Arggh!!!” She yelped in pain and her gun dropped on the ground.
Tiger and his men got inside their vans and they zoomed out of the place.
“No!!!, Theresa!!!!!!!!” Matilda screamed as the vans drove away speedily.
