72 HOURS KILL MISSION

72 HOURS KILL MISSION EPISODE FOUR

Storm didn't tape my hands or knock me out like i had seen people do before. He drove me to a place I assumed was his place and when we got there, he got out of the car and grabbed my arm then led me to the house and had me forcefully sit on the couch. I was still a bit uneasy to get comfortable not knowing who he really was.

He stood a few steps away staring at me for a second then walked to the door and locked it then came back to me.

Storm: listen, I dont intend to harm you but I will if you don't behave yourself..

He said taking off his jacket. The gun was still on his waistline and even though he looked like he was not going to harm me, i still calculated in my head on how i could reach for that gun. If only I could then I would be in control but on second thoughts I decided to play calm for I didn't really know who he was and if he said he would kill me, I knew he would after what I had seen out there..

Me: who are you?..

Storm: I told you I'm Storm..

Me: cut the crap, you know what I'm asking. Why do you have a gun and why did you come to me at the club?..

He didn't answer that but pulled the gun off his waist, removed all the bullets then dropped the gun on the table rendering it useless, its like he had read my mind and knew my intentions...

He asked if I wanted something to eat and I nodded. The truth is prison food tasted like crap and I couldn't wait to eat some real food.. I had missed nicely made beef, rice and salads. I had missed coffee and hot chocolate.

He left for the kitchen and I got up and moved around checking out the paintings and the curving that were beautifully displayed on the wall and on the stand in the house..

Storm: you love art?..

He startled me.. I didn't see or hear him come back to the living room where i was..

Me: yes, I take note of good art. This is very creative. I wonder what was going on in the artist's mind when he painted this.

Storm: every painting has a story behind it, some are sad, some are beautiful memories and other's just express emptiness with alot of questions..

I looked at him, that response carried alot of weight in it but i didn't dig deeper..

Storm: so... Why were those guys after you?..

He asked shifting his eyes from the painting and looking at me.

Me: I don't know..

I said walking away from the spot and finding my way back to the couch..

Storm: you cannot not know.. who are you and why are they after you?..

Me: It's funny I asked you the same question a few seconds ago but you didn't answer.. what makes you think I know those guys?..

Storm: I don't know and that's why I'm asking you. They seemed to have known who to go after.

Me: I don't know them.

He narrowed his eyes at me obviously detecting a lie but i looked away from his gaze. I got the remote from the table and switched on the TV.

* * * *

The guys that had failed to get Davina had been sent by Morgan. Apparently Morgan had sowed a tracking device on the cap that Davina had on and if she had it on, he would be able to track her..

No one survived storm's bullets and Morgan knew his guys had failed in their mission.

He checked his laptop to see if the tracking device was active but it was not.

Morgan: where the hell is she now!..

He shouted and put the laptop on the other seat in his car and sat there quiet for a moment. Davina can't have gone to warn Rex, she would not be that stupid to make such a mistake.. she didn't think i was bluffing when i said i would kill her did she?..

As he was still trying to figure out his next move, he got a call from Dorcas' and he quickly received it hoping she had some news about her..

Morgan: I hope you are calling me with good news.

Dorcas: what good news, haven't you found her yet?..

Morgan: if I had found her I would have told you don't you think?..

Dorcas: this only works if she is in your custody Morgan..if anyone else finds her and helps her, she shows her face on the TV with the media all over her, it will come back to bite us in the ass.

Morgan: don't call me if it's nothing important Dorcas, you are disturbing my thinking process. I paid you off, don't think I can't make you disappear. Sit tight, its important that I find Davina and I will. There is no where she can hide that I will not find her..

Dorcas: you better, and Morgan.. do not threaten me. You might be the big bad wolf, but remember that I have been in charge of criminals who have committed all sort of crimes...you don't want to get on my bad side.. I'm not afraid of you.

Morgan hanged up and leaned back on his seat taking a deep breath. Morgan had a friend, his name was Jeff. Jeff was an IT guru who installed Cctv cameras, hacked into systems, installed programs and could trace anyone wherever they were as long as they had a device that could be traced...

He called Jeff as he drove back to his but the call went unswered.. that was not a problem as he could always reach him. The problem is that someone else called in and he looked hesitant about picking the call but because the phone insisted on ringing, he picked and put it on speaker

Voice: are you dodging me?..

Morgan: no. I'm not, we have a snag.

Voice: we have a snag doesn't sound like my problem but yours..what the hell happened?.

Morgan: the girl escaped.The plan will have to slow down for a few hours as I try to find her..

Voice: you in competitive fool. I give you one task, one f*****g task and you can't do it to completion..

Morgan: its something i did not have control of.

Voice: what do you have control of Morgan, I pay you to be in control, I pay you to get the f*****g job done.. don't make me loose my patience, it will not be good for you... Find that girl!

The guy on the other end hanged up and Morgan seemed quite shaken after that call..who was the guy on the other end and why was he after Davina?..

* * *

Storm sat on the table right in front of me blocking my view of the TV and there was something about his looks that sent cold chills down my spine.. I could tell he was someone dangerous, a thug or a cop...i don't know but he seemed to have known more than he was letting me know he did..

Me: I'm telling you the truth. I don't know who those guys are and I don't know what they want with me..

Storm: I don't believe you..

Me: then why did you bring me here with you, you should have let them take me a way then maybe I would have found out what they wanted..

That sounded like the most stupid thing he had heard and maybe he thought I was ungratful but i didnt care..if there is something I had learned the few moths i was with Rex's gang was never to trust anyone. They threw me under the bus and saved their asses as I was sent to prison. Who knew if they went pissing off Morgan too and that's why he wanted them dead?..

Storm didn't seem satisfied but he didn't push for more answers and instead, he went back to preparing the meal that was already cooking.

When Dante joined the rest of the guys at the table, I opened the door just slightly enough to hear the discussion they were having and i could tell there was a bit of tention only that I could not tell what was really going on.

Cyrus looked around like he suspected something then leaned in and they started taking in a low tone probably so that no one could hear but I could follow the discussion having been above them on the upper floor, they had no idea that I was there.

Cyrus: what if Rex has put her here to spy on us?

Elvis: what are we doing wrong that would make Rex suspect us?..

Justin: you don't know, you know he knows we are stealing his coke and someone must have tipped him off. Maybe he is just looking for a way to prove it and finish us off in one place..

Cyrus: I second that, for instance.. why would you go for a mission, find a bomb with no one in the house...did Rex set the bomb?..

Oliver: how would he get access. That compound is heavily guarded and no one can easily access.. something is off...

Dante: the place was not heavily guarded per say but we couldn't just walk in. We had to kill our way in..it couldn't have been a trap.

Erika: are you sure of that?...

There was silence and as for Erika and Dante, I didn't know what was going on between them but they seemed to be the puzzle I needed to solve. One of them or both ought to have known what the rest of the group did not know..

Justin: we need to be careful and we need to stop stealing the coke until we know who the traitor is. If you ask me. I will say its the person who is not here.

Erika: she is new here, she knows nothing about how we roll..

Oliver: the more reason why we cannot trust her. I say, we don't down tool because we need the money but we keep her out of the loop.. can you keep her out of the loop Dante?

Dante: why are you asking me that, do i look like a traitor?

Justina: well, you seemed to have warmed up to her, do you have the intentions of tapping that ass?..

Dante pushed his plate and got up..

Dante: I don't have to listen to this.. have yourselves a good night..

Dante started coming up the stairs so i quickly tip toed and jumped in bed and pretended to be fast asleep just in case he showed up...

** ** **

storm's house had an open plan kitchen so i couldn't really unlock the door and run because he was aware of all my movements. Why did I even want to run in the first place, it was late and dark outside abd besides that, he seemed nice... I was being paranoid, anyone in my shoe would be..

The Jeff guy finally called Morgan back and he showed a sign of relief as he answered the call..

Jeff: you called..

Morgan: thank God.. listen, I need to find someone, its urgent..

Jeff: someone has a gun to your head, you don't seem like yourself..

Morgan: something like that.. her name is Davina Milan, a convict that escaped from prison yesterday. I need to find her. I planted a chip in a cap she had but i cant trace her..

Jeff said he was checking it out and he logged into his laptop after Morgan gave him all the details he needed to know. Jeff found out that Morgan's guys had been shot near a club and when he pulled up the footages from the CCTV camera at the club, it picked up Davina's image alongside Storm and he immediately gave Morgan a call..

Morgan: anything?..

Jeff: I picked up a few images by some club uptown but you won't like this if she's the girl you are looking for?..

Morgan: what... What going on.

Jeff: the girl is with a guy.. not just a guy.. you know Storm right..

Morgan: Davina is with storm, you are sure it is storm you have seen?

Jeff: sending you photos. Check them out..

The photos got to his phone and he opened them. It was indeed Storm.

Morgan: Holy s**t!...

He cursed and held his head with both hands... It couldn't be...
