Wright's POV
The next day, I was having training when Lazzie appeared behind me.
I kept thinking about Claire even when I'm on the bed. The thought of her kept coming over again.
" Hello, high boss." He smiled.
I looked at him and grinned without saying anything.
" did you have something to tell me?" He asked.
" Nothing." I replied.
" Are you hiding something from me?" He leaned towards me.
I looked at him. If I don't tell him I already told Claire my feelings, he won't leave me.
" Okay, I will just tell you. Let's go to a calm place." I said.
" Okay." He smiled.
We went to a calm place and sat. Claire was going back to the hospital so when she saw us, she hid behind the wall.
She must've thought I didn't see her. I let out a smile as she hid behind the wall.
" So, tell me, what is it?" He asked anxiously.
I looked at him then took a breath in.
" I saw miss Claire yesterday...." I pursed.
Lazzie cut in immediately.
" So, did you tell her how you felt, what did she say?" He seeked.
"Yes, I told her...." I gasped.
" What did she say, yes or no?" He asked curiously.
" She said no, is that not interesting?" I said.
A smile escaped my lips, I knew Claire would be hearing what we were talking about so I made it straight.
I must get her back to me even though she doesn't recognize me.
" What! But you are the most handsome man in the military." He was surprised.
" She said I'm not her type and she have no feelings for me. I should respect that." I smiled.
Lazzie was really disappointed and was also worried at the same time.
" Really! What did you say?" He asked feeling sad.
" I felt a pinch when she said that." I said.
" I'm sorry." He looked into my eyes.
" You don't have to tell me sorry, she didn't agree so we should respect that.' I smiled.
Lazzie eyes changed. He was really sad my first love broke my heart for the first time.
" Can you stop smiling, don't you know this is serious that you got rejected by your first love?" He uttered.
" It's nothing, I will take care of it." I said.
I touched his shoulder to assure him I would fix my emotion.
" Stop saying it's nothing, you have always hold back to your feelings if you ever have. But, you can't just kill your first emotion.' he expressed.
" I've heard you." I smiled.
He leaned to me.
" Wright, I'm sorry for pestering you. I thought she will accept just like my girlfriend." He uttered.
I looked at him. Everyone are different.
" Let's forget about this, it's in the past." I sighed.
" She told me she has a boyfriend and that she can't leave him. She's in love with someone else." I expressed.
" What! She has a boyfriend? I thought she doesn't." He stated.
I knew Claire would be listening. Even though I can't stop the feelings I have for her, I have to feign ignorant.
" I thought she had feelings for you." He said.
" Don't let talk about this again." I said.
" Okay, I will forget about this." He uttered.
Mr bob called me immediately.
" Wright." Mr bob stated.
" Yes sir." I responded to assure him I'm connected.
" You should go and threaten the man we captured." He said.
" Okay sir." I responded.
" I will hear the report." He said.
He cut the call immediately.
" Director, right?" Lazzie asked.
" Yes, I need to go now". I said.
" What is it about?" He asked.
" I need to go threaten the man we captured." I replied.
" Okay." He said.
" Soldiers never relent, this is gonna be good." I smiled.
" Treat that guy nise as you always do to other culprit." He whispered.
" The sky is blue, he just needs to cooperate with me." I looked at the sky.
In a moment, i stood up to leave.
" Take it easy there." He held my hand.
" Okay." I smiled.
I left his presence immediately.
Lazzie whispered in a baritone voice.
" My poor friend, I'm sorry I kept pestering you to have a girlfriend. He doesn't have a family and she made him more lonely. I feel for him, my poor friend." He looked at me from some distance.
************
I went to the man's prison and took him to the threatening room with other two soldiers.
I looked at him. It was as he was scared but he put on a bold face. I didn't fall for that, mine is to threaten of he fails to cooperate with me.
" I want you to answer all my questions." I said.
He looked at me then he began to laugh mockingly.
" You look sad, did you attempt a break up?" He mocked.
" Well, don't make it up in me". I smirked.
" Whatever?" He looked away.
" Who is your boss?" I requested.
He looked at me like I'm not in his world.
" did you expect me to tell you that? You must be out of your mind!. He uttered.
" I'm not joking here, who is your boss?" I moved closer.
" I will never tell you, whatever." He ignored me.
" I don't want to hit you man." I looked into his eyes.
I was actually losing it. He must have killed so many innocent people.
" Get out of my face." He murmured.
I moved more closer to him, he must've thought I would be easy.
" answer me now." I stated.
In a moment, he spit on me, I couldn't explain how I felt. i was irritated which made me really angry.
I move closer to him, held his shirt then gave him some really hard slaps.
One of the soldiers gave me a handy to clean the spit.
" Tell me who your boss is , or you will die." I said soberly.
" It will never come out of my mouth." He smiled.
That man must be good at acting, I could feel how scared he was as I moved closer to him.
" Bring me the fire." I ordered the soldiers.
" Okay sir." They responded.
A soldier brought the fire immediately.
" Tell me who your boss is, old man." I asked again.
" You fool!" He whispered.
In a moment, i took the fire and burn his arm. He gasped in pain.
" Ha, I'm not telling you." He gasped in pain.
That was what I was expecting. pain will make him confess.
" you are still stobborn, let's see how long it will be?" I said soberly.
"I will never tell you." He laughed mockingly.
The pain is not enough, I have to do something else. I removed a knife in the fire then held it to threaten him.
" I'm going to use this on you if you keep acting stobborn". I whispered.
His eyes were fixed on the knife,
fear filled his soul.
I signaled to the soldiers to excuse us, maybe that will make him confess.
" Now that the soldiers are gone, tell me your boss." I said.
He looked around the room, then in a moment he began to cry.
" i don't want to die." He whispered.
I was surprised but maybe a little because I knew he feared but kept acting up.
" Please don't kill me." He plead.
" I won't kill you if you tell me who your boss is". I said.
" Okay!" He whispered.
He looked around the room again, this time he was about to talk.
" He is Terry." He said.
I was shocked to hear that name, maybe it was a mistake.
" Can you repeat the name and his last name?" I requested.
I was really curious, who could it be?
" He is...Hanger Terry!" He repeated.
I was shocked to my bone. That name is the same as terry hanger.
In a moment everything was quiet, I could only hear my heart beating. Terry is a culprit?
" Please don't kill me, I swell I never kill anyone." He plead.
" Tell me everything you know about hanger Terry." I said.
" I don't know much about him but he is recently oversea. I heard he created many gangs in every corners. He is a drug dealer. He forced me to join the gang by threatening me with my family." He explained.
I stayed silent for a while. The man cannot lie about terry identity. I raised an eyebrow and was processing what to say next.
" Please, I don't want to die. I have a pregnant wife in the hospital now, she will have given birth. Please spear my life." He pleaded in tears.
I moved closer to him. I never liked him from the beginning of the conversation but his pregnant wife is in the hospital.
" I never liked you but I will spear your life because of your pregnant wife." I said.
" Thank you sir." He said immediately.
" You don't have to thank me, I know why I'm doing this. You should give me back my help when I need it." I whispered to his ears.
I knew the soldiers must not know about my steps nor the director.
" Thank you sir." He said.
I removed a key then gave it to him.
" You should get lost immediately it's twelve in the morning." I said without looking at him.
" thank... you... sir!" He said with a really shaking voice.
I knew in my heart I wouldn't regret it even though it's really risky to release a criminal. I never believed him and will never be.
I took him back to his prison after some time then he escaped at the time I told him to.
I already prepared a way he could escape because the military security was really active.
There will be a way to settle the fact that he was already missing so I've got it.
