Come Closer

Chapter 12

(At James’s home)

“Ahh! It’s so good to be home again!” Adrian said happily as he was discharged from the hospital and brought back home.

“But it doesn’t mean that you can do anything you want. You have to rest properly and take medicine and exercise your arm” Noah said knowing that Adrian was going to neglect exercising and taking medicine.

“OK alright! No need of reminding me the same thing again” Adrian said annoyed and scoffed.

“You really are going to skip them do you? Dream on little kid! Cause I’m not going to leave you in this. I’m going to make sure that you do as the doctor instructed” Lyena said.

Adrian looked at her with an accusing gaze. “Try then”. And James came for support. “She is right Adrian, not only her, we all are going to make sure of that”. Adrian’s shoulders slumped. “Alright do as you wish. I spoke too soon about coming home.” Others smiled at his childish behavior.

“Two containers, stored with two hundred guns, are being transported into our area” stated Adrian, sending a warning glance at the other three.

“Without our permission or orders” Noah said, with a hint of anger in his voice.

“Who would dare to do this?” Ryan asked, from no particular person.

“I don’t think the Grey Mafias or the Dark Gang would dare to. The Rogers might, but they are not stupid enough to send their weapons to our area”, James said thoughtfully.

“Well, that leaves us with nothing” Adrian ruffled his hair in frustration.

“Unless a newbie is involved” Noah thought out loud, scratching his chin.

“Then that’s a problem. They could also be the ones who attacked the factory, since others denied that when we investigated them. We should destroy the plant before it grows into a tree”, Ryan said.

“We should follow the containers to their destination, find the leader, and finish him”, James ordered.

“Adrian will go with me”, Noah stated, and quickly added, “Ryan, you’ll have to go to the business meeting with James”.

Ryan shrugged. “Fine by me. But what about the conference in England?”

“s**t!” James massages his temple.

“I’ll go to England. After all, I’m the ace in these matters.”Ryan said, flicking his imaginary long hair.

“Then I’ll attend the business meeting here”, James agreed.

Adrian grinned at James. “Enjoy the boring faces of those shareholders while we have fun out there James.”
