Linda sat in the audience, unable to believe her eyes. Tears streamed down her face, unstoppable. Emma, however, smiled as she whispered to herself, “I knew it would take more than a hundred falcons to kill my boy.” Richard, having climbed from the backstag e, was now stepping forward to receive his award. After the ceremony, the crowd had dispersed, and the military personnel were gone. Richard waved them goodbye before turning to thank Detective. “Thank you for helping me,” Richard said, shaking the detective’s hand. “I owe you my life.” “It’s nothing, Rich,” the detective replied with a smile. “You saved this city. The whole country owes you. And because of you, I’ve been promoted to prosecutor.” Richard blinked in surprise. “Wow, congrats!” he said. “That’s incredible.” The detective laughed. “I’ll say it again. You’re the one who saved us all.” As the detective made his way to the car, Richard turned and saw his family waiting for him. Cynthia, his sister, Nina, Linda, and Emma we...

Richard and Emma were engrossed in playing video games in the sitting room, but Emma seemed distracted. "Hey bro, what's up?" Richard asked casually, noticing Emma's lack of focus. Emma glanced at the clock and let out a sigh. "It's already 4 pm, and we haven't heard anything from them. I have a bad feeling about this." Richard smirked and teased, "I thought you were advising me to stay away from Linda for the time being. Looks like someone's missing her." "I'm not missing Nina. I just feel like maybe Gideon has gotten to them or something," Emma retorted. "Admit it, mate, you miss her," Richard teased further. "You know what? I'm starting to feel uneasy too. How about we check their location and go see them?" Emma hesitated, knowing it might not be a good idea, but eventually agreed. "Alright, let's do that," he said as they moved to the room and opened the laptop to track their where...

Richard lay in bed, his eyes snapping open at the insistent buzzing of his phone. With a sigh, he reached out with his left hand, fumbling for the device on the bedside table. As he unlocked the screen, his heart raced with anticipation. Scanning the message, Richard's gaze darted up from the screen to the still form of Nina and Emmanuel, nestled together in peaceful slumber. He hesitated for a moment, torn between the urgency of the situation and the desire not to disturb their rest. "Hey guys," Richard murmured, his voice low but urgent. "I just got the address for Linda and Franklin. We need to head there now." Nina stirred slightly, her brow furrowing in confusion. "Richard, it's barely dawn. Can't this wait until daylight?" she mumbled, her voice muffled by the warmth of Emmanuel's embrace. Emmanuel nodded in agreement, his grip tightening around Nina. "Yeah, let's not rush into anything. We'll be more effective once the s...

  After the judge delivered his verdict, the courtroom erupted with noise and whispers. Many questioned why such a severe punishment was handed down for Richard's assault on Franklin. As the police escorted Richard out of the court to the waiting police van, Emma and Nina hurried after him. "Hang in there, Richard," Emma urged as they trailed the police towards the van and watched as he was locked inside. As the police van drove off, Nina and Emma quickly headed in the opposite direction, got into their car, and began following the van. Inside the van, the police officers kept a close watch on Richard as he broke the silence. "I'm sure Gideon has a hand in this," Richard asserted.

The police officer remained silent in response. "...
