*A dangerous game (love, pain, deception and redemption)*

```Chapter 2```

"He looped from the shadows as he glanced at the ghastly figure of the city with one hand in his pocket while the other did the usual profusely wearing that pathetic cunning smile of his_ _Growing in an unstable family, Ryan Fox had seen the worst life could offer . When his parents passed away, he was left with no one, becoming as lonely as the night. Later on, he was able to complete his education due to the help of a certain orphanage. Ryan Fox joined the police force, paving his way into politics where he would later on emerge as the face of Zimbabwe. In every morning newspaper, he was the headline and because of his ability to conquer the media like a skillful boxer, he became the talk of the country.

Ryan Fox became the Minister of Minerals and Economic Development, marking his first step into fulfilling the vow he had made to his dead parents, following the words of his late grandfather; " *If you can't have it grab it* ." Ryan Fox became a maniac as he illegally transported drugs and precious minerals across the border untraced. He became so untouchable that he didn't have to wait for elections to become president of the Republic of Zimbabwe. Many people survived on him so it was a piece of cake for him to make puppets out of humanity.

It seems the odds were actually in his favour however ups and downs arose in his marriage story. Sadly, he lost his wife in an aeroplane crash.... more like a bomb blast... His daughter ran away from home but the guy was too relieved to grieve anyway.

The story took a U-turn when he was supposed to transport the largest diamond he had ever gambled but a Tragedy occurred as his man mistook The wrong briefcase at the airport on his way to Canada. Ryan Fox could not put a search warrant since this could bring out his true colours, alas he had to seal this nice, clean and quiet to avoid suspicians . In his words, "No one could hide from the exterminator, not even a fly."

After 5 years, Ryan Fox had made some progress on the mysterious person who had vanished with his jewel hence now he had to take care of the matter_ ._

Footsteps echoed as they slowly paced into his chamber, "Mr President we're back." "What's the status?" The man paused for a moment as he gently removed his mask. "No, Mr President--- We found no s**t at his house and--- he's dead."

"What??" Tension quickly spread in the room like a virus as Ryan Fox faced his men. "He---was... too adamant". Ryan fox chuckled for a moment "This keeps getting more and more interesting. Okay move on to plan B "

"Yes.....", the man couldn't say his sentence since a bullet had already crushed into his skull.

He immediately frowned as he put back his pistol into his shining blue suit. "No more f*****g mistakes, exterminate his body" "'yes sir!!"

He felt a mixture of misfortune as they entered the hospital dashing as quick as their legs could offer. "Doctor how is he now," asked Max as he quickly wiped the sweat on his face. "I'm sorry, we couldn't save him" . " What!! shouted Stellah. Max took a few steps sitting on a bench silently taking a few deep breaths.

Samson Clemens's funeral, well, went great and was indeed a memorable one ... Those who knew him knew quite a legend they had lost but, life indeed is a bus. Every one later on left leaving Max and Lee in the grave yard. Lee was Max's best friend_ more like a brother. They had known each other since their childhood . There was certainly nothing both individuals didn't know about one another.

"They say life is like a bus and every journey has a stop. I hope the next stop isn't Max". Max chuckled. "Mine is way too far my friend". Lee held Max's shoulder trying to comfort," Uncle was a nice man Max. He lived for you, peace and honor ". "Yeah you're right". "May his soul rest in peace, he'll continue to live on the other side". A mixture of tears and laughter came from Max as he recalled those magnificent memories with Samson." Lee, ever wondered in heaven there are golden roads, angels flying all over place yet in this life there's only pain and suffering still we prefer to live than die"." Max, what is born will die, we begin to die as soon as we are born and the end is always linked to the beginning. Death is the cure of all diseases my friend.

She knew she had to approach immediately, those two guys could even spend the whole night in the graveyard.

"Guys why don't you just give the dead a break, can't you see you're interupting their privacy. Stellah laughed along with Max and Lee as they quickly rushed out of there.

Jade Owens had always dreamt of being a detective and that sense and mind became a key to her success. Maybe she was born to be a detective cause Jade was always curious with arising crimes at school and was always determined to get to the bottom of it. In other words Jade was no longer seen as a school child but the school detective.

Cases like "someone stole my pen," were a piece of cake to her. Jade Owens would later join the police force early after graduating and display her talents in solving crimes. No crime was that big for her to handle in her opinion. As she strived in solving crimes, more than most of what the detectives could chew was up. Drugs and minerals were being transported across the border illegally. This case seemed small but it was an opening to many scandals leading to many murder cases with no trace . Detective Owens volunteered for this case but she had had zero luck in breaking this nut.

"Who was the main play in this drug play in this drug trafficking and mineral exploitation. "

"Why all these deaths? What was the connection?"

Jade once received an MMS video about a truck that was about to cross the border illegally only to discover that nothing of that sort was happening there.Only their attention had been diverted at the wrong place while the Reserve bank of Zimbabwe got robbed. This robbery complicated the case. Now Jade had to put her focus on this case and this left room for other traggitys to befall easily. As far as Jade knew, these cases weren't connected. Some guy was just taking advantage of the other diversion.Each detective had to be assigned to one case to ease the job.

This was the best but Jade's ego wouldn't allow her to focus on one case. Soon this would create another massive confusion as the detectives dug their own grave one by one. It seemed something like a paradox had really taken the best of the city of Gweru.

The sargent had to advise Jade to take a leave but she was one of those so proclaimed that would never back off from the field, no matter how many demons creept in her dreams.

Jade Owens paced into the police station heading to her office. She sat there quietly reading today's newspaper watching the time constantly like she was expecting someone_ - well of cause she was expecting someone -" it's already 9:10 am and he's not here yet, this idiot...!"

Speaking of the devil, there he came barging into Jade's office. "Morning mame", he said panting as if he was in an 800 m race.

Jade sighed for a moment, "Max, what's the time?" Max quickly checked his empty wrist, "Oh sorry, I forgot my watch." Seriously, this wasn't a time for jokes with Jade, especially when the vice president had been murdered in cold blood the night before - " I'm not joking, Max, for the past 3 years, it has been the same behaviour. I mean like what has gotten into you? For God sake!!" , Jade stopped for a moment as she continued, "You either come late or don't come at all." ' Max faced down with a sense of disappointment," I'm sorry, Jade. " Cut the crap, Max!! You always have excuses. Just tell me how long will I be saving your sorry soul , from the sergeant. Haah!! . I've got a dozen of cases and you put on this kind of act daily! Why? Max took a few steps towards Jade as he placed his hand on her shoulder, "I'm sorry, sis." "Come on, Max, this apology is good for nothing." Jade took a deep look at Max as tears formed in her eyes, "When you showed up here, I was so happy. I thought you would make things easy for me, but wow, boy was I wrong!! Ever wondered why I didn't allow you into this case, cause..."......" I never wanted this, Jade, but you pushed me!!" " Max protested as he gently wiped the tears on his face while exhaling, 'You knew what I wanted , but you chose not to give me , instead you gave it to this piece of shirt!" Max turned at Trevous , who had been standing at the door for a while, gazing at them silently enjoying the show sincerely with no love for Max. "Watch your mouth pal, or else!!". Trevous grunted. Max quickly paced towards him , "or else what!!" 'Bloody hell! Trevous! get the hellout of my office! "." But mame...... "." I said out!". He quickly stepped out as Jade furiously turned to Max, "And you! You better stop this nonsense. I'm sick and tired of this!. Take this newspaper and.... you're on this case, with me".

Max gruffly took the newspaper as he stepped out of the office. "Oh one more thing Max Clemens. Stay the hell out of your uncle's case!"

"Okay miss inspector ," he quickly went out whispering, "wow, somuch attitude, Jesus ..."

He took a deep look at the photo with a sense of amazement. There was always something about this man but Max couldn't put it into place, especially those dazzling blue eyes. For a fact he had seen those eyes, somewhere he may have seen those eyes. Maybe the media's editing was a bit too much these days.

Max took some files to peruse what he was dealing with and it all seemed interesting to him. It seemed more like a game both of them were playing - maybe a game of chess. The real big deal he was discovering was that cases had been brought up, but no names had been brought up. He knew this was a bit suspicious or maybe someone was 'erasing' the names - This was his first approach to the case.

Gabriel hastily panted as he raced down the white house corridors. He paced to the president of the Republic of Zimbabwe. He quickly entered his chambers as sweat raced from his face to his sparkling white suit. There he paused with a bit of tension on his face.

"Sir!" shouted Gabriel as he banged on the President's desk. "What is it Gabriel?" asked the President as he quickly took off from his chair.

"Sir the Vice-president's dead!"

"What! "exclaimed President Collins, as he stumbled onto his desk leaning on it for support. Surely Collins had expected news like this but not so sudden. Frank Collins had only been President for two years and most of the government officials were already history, even the former President, Ryan Fox who had also been purported murdered. The President now feared for his safety as he felt his fate knocking on the door.
