THE VIGILANTE SERIES.

1. HEIR'S CRISIS. CHAPTER ONE. When it comes to matters lawlessness, we all really have high hopes that the law enforcement entities would be able to handle it effectively. But the real question should be, how well is the society taking part in ensuring that it is a priority to neutralise it? Take for instance, a robbery takes place in a shop near yours and you witness it, what would be your first course of action? Would it be to involve the respective enforcement officers to take care of it, or do you just sit around and do nothing? On the other hand, the law enforcers should be accountable to how they deal with the situation. They should not only make sure that the perpetrators are captured, but also due justice is dealt to them with urgency. Otherwise, when they just have no drive whatsoever do whatever is required of them, then there would be no reason for the crime to end any time soon; it would only be a source of encouragement to the criminals, just like adding kerosene to a fire. So really, as much as it is a two way involvement, much of the effort lies heavily on the law enforcers since it is primarily up to them that they ensure that the perpetrators are put to the book and taught their lesson. But with this kind of generation where the personal interests come before the interests of those to whom they are serving, there is no wonder that the society have lost almost all hope in the law enforcers and all its entities; and something needs to be done and fast. So in the vast land of gorgeous scenery of hills and waterfalls, to be more specific Kemptown, we find a young lad, possibly in his mid thirties, sitting in a twelve acre ranch with his wife and two children, in a pretty decent maisonette. This is possibly in the mid morning, where the sun is beautifully shining and there is a handful of activities happening around them. The young man’s name is Michael and his family is known as the Anderson family, where his wife, Mary bore him two beautiful set of twins, a boy by the name Andrew and girl by the name Emily. The Anderson family is a well accomplished family since Michael, to whom many people know him as Mike, is one of the biggest investors when it comes to matters agriculture and automobiles and is worth a whooping seven hundred million dollars. He has multiple investments all around, not only in the town but also in more than ten countries worldwide. To think that such a man has such an easy way of getting what he wants and has it easy with life is partially true, since he really has a few really big set-backs to just say the least. Firstly he really is having a major problem when it comes to health issues, since he not only is suffering from cancer, colon cancer to be specific, bit also suffers from partial epilepsy which set is from time to time. But it wasn’t always like this, since he was born a healthy baby in a middle class family but later on in life, the partial epilepsy set in when he was around twelve and the cancer set in at around twenty-four years and since then, he has never lived like his peers in society. But all in all, he still finds a way to deal with everything as hard and frustrating as it may seem. So, in the porch of the house, we see the family enjoying their breakfast as the workers move around the ranch handling a number of activities at a certain period of time. And as the family was chatting casually over breakfast, Emily asked an out of the box question that seemed to catch everyone by surprise, which led the whole family to be as silent as the graveyard for a whooping thirty minutes. She asked, “dad, why is it that I saw you talking to one of the workers the other day and afterwards gave him a bag with like white powder and other weird stuff?” It really came as a shock; since Michael, being from Hispanic origin, and Mary being of British decent, it was two different worlds with a lot of cultural diversities and households, many things were different in terms of child upbringing; and it was an awkward situation to deal with. So when Michael finally managed to regain his composure, he tried as best as he could to handle the situation as best as he could with the shortest possible answer he could give. “Well,” he began, “ what you saw was simply a delivery of some flour and other farm essentials that I told him o make in urgency to a very important client in the City.” And with that he closed the conversation, but as is common with young people, curiosity still lingered within Emily. Well, with the understanding that respect given is respect earned and the man, and in this case her dad was the Head of the household, Emily found it well with herself to not delve into the matter even more. With that the day continued as normal or did it.... With a lot at hand and many businesses to run, Mike found it necessary to go and just pay a surprise inspection on some of the workers in his enterprise’s. So he bid his family and set out to the town, the first stop being the showroom downtown. At this point in time, it was about ten o’clock in the morning, and businesses were already up and running. Being a thirty minute drive from his home, he got to the showroom, Mike’s Dealership, and what he laid his eyes on wastruly one of the most shocking things he ever experienced. He found that the manager of the establishment was not only lazing around, but also squandering the finances to “entertain” himself with females, friends and a lot of drinking. All this whilst in the establishment. Considering that this might be some sort of mistake, he had to go and confront the manager, Will, to clear things out. All this he noticed while still being a few meters away, since the showroom had been fitted with transparent glass. So when he finally pulled up at the entrance, the other workers seemed to be working on their assigned tasks but very disturbed to a point of wanting some action to be taken. As for the manager, he never noticed his presence until a few minutes passed by. Will, completely in shock, very quickly tried to tone his ‘accomplices’ down in the most disorientated way since the shock made him so out of place. When everyone was finally managed, Mike erupted with rage and asked, “ so this was what has been going on all this time !!! I have been receiving endless complaints about poor management from both outside sources and inside ones and chose to give you the benefit of doubt knowing that you’re very competent and would never do such a thing!!! And to think that you’re same guy that I had high hopes to make a great person in society!” “W..w..well... this is not what it looks like boss, I, I ...” Will tried to explain himself but Mike cut him off even before he could say another word. Mike plainly snapped him back to reality with, “not only have you made me mad with all the mismanagement witnessed here, but also made me re-evaluate you’re position in this establishment, and with that said, you’re contract is terminated effective immediately and would like you to get yourself and your accomplices out but not without being taught a lesson. I want you and your pals to pay off all that you have been squandering from this company from the last month to date, in the next three months or else I would be filing charges for funds embezzlement against you to the authorities.” As much as Will tried to plead to Mike to be a little sympathetic, all of his pleas landed on deaf ears. Time went by and Mike scrutinised real well to those who had sent their applications for the vacant position of manager, and with much assessment, he finally chose a young lady by the name Jennifer to occupy the spot. Jennifer, who was previously a secretary at the same establishment, had the necessary requirements for the managerial position and seemed to be competent enough to lead her fellow colleagues. Well, one month slowly turned into two then three and yet no sign of will or any effort to try to compensate for all the damage he had done. With no further extension, Mike headed to the authorities to do as he had
