Evolution: The beginning of a new era

Death of Luka

The ship carrying the goods arrived, fifty million worth of drugs and guns were entrusted in the hands of Luka. When the cars containing the goods arrived, Luka and the clients were already waiting. Sam attended the transaction on behalf of Emerlda, the clients were examining the goods. The goods were met their expectations, just as the transaction was being made, the C.I.A arrived. There was a heavy shoot out, two men died on the scene. Emerlda saw the news, trying to reach out to Sam and Luka both their phones were unreachable. Clenching her fists, Emerlda grabbed her coat to investigate the scene, her door was opened. A man fell on her door step, he was covered in blood and had bullet wounds. Emerlda flipped the man over and saw Sam, she immediately called her personal doctor. Emerlda quickly grabbed a towel, she applied pressure to the wounds to avoid any further blood loss. The receptionists informed the police, the hotel was surrounded. As the police conducted the search, they busted the last door and saw bloody towels and blood everywhere, the room was empty. Emerlda had sneaked out with Sam and her doctor, as they traced to see who was staying in the hotel room, the room hadn't been signed in.

Emerlda saw the death of Luka being presented in every channel, looking at Sam who was badly hurt she felt angry. Sam opened his eyes and saw Emerlda asleep sitting on a chair holding his hand, when he moved his hand Emerlda quickly sat up straight. Emerlda said, "I am awake! Oh…you are awake." Sam looking around the environment asked, "What…happened?" Emerlda looking at Sam replied, "You have to stay here for a while, until I return. Luka died on the scene, they might have concealed the news but Sarah has confirmed it all, I can't help but blame his death on myself. I have to solve the issue with the Feds and clear Evolution's name." Sam felt immense pain when he tried to sit up straight, "You have to rest, it is an order. I have called in a helper…" "A helper? I am your survivor!" a tall handsome guy wearing funky clothes appeared before Sam, this guy's name was Daniel. Sam looking at Emerlda said, "I believe a dog can handle a job better than this psycho." Daniel was known to be a devilish ruthless rascal, he almost killed Sam once when he was recruited to the gang thinking he was a spy. Emerlda glared at Daniel, she said, "Suit up, we have a funeral to attend to…focus on recovering Sam. You can kill Daniel after I have completed my work." The reporters and media were swanning all over Luka's residence, Sarah was dressed in black mourning for her husband. Emerlda was offered a seat, "It is quite unfortunate death has robbed us my uncle Luka…however the ones responsible for his death are to be held accountable." Sara held back her frustration and anger, she knew provoking Emerlda would lead her to straight to hell to meet her husband. A man dressed in a black suit entered, he flashed his C.I.A badge, "I am Detective Smith investigating on the drug and weapon transaction, we would like you Mrs Borstov to come to the station and have a word with us." Daniel tried to intervene, Emerlda holding him back said, "Let the policeman do their job, help Aunt Sarah in preparing for uncle's funeral." Headline of Emerlda being taken into custody spread like wildfire, Sam was forbidden to set foot outside the yard.

Emerlda sat in an investigation room, she kept on looking at Detective Smith who was flipping over a file, he sighed, "I will get straight to the point, were you aware that President Luka was conducting illegal business?" Emerlda leaned forward, she looked at the camera and said, "I shall only co operate in the presence of the Director Burns." Detective Smith replied, "I was hoping you were requesting for a lawyer. The earlier you corporate with us, the earlier you will be released. The drug and weapon transaction being conducted by Mr Luka, were you aware about them? We have apprehended most of your assets." Emerlda with cold eyes kept looking at Smith with her mouth shut, for an hour he kept on repeating but Emerlda never uttered a word. The door was opened, Director Burns walked in holding a tablet in his hands. Smith was dismissed to give space to the two leaders, folding her hands Emerlda asked, "Why isn't the death of my uncle being investigated?" Burns looking at her replied, "All causalities were collateral damage incurred during our mission. Now that I am here…" "Are you f*****g kidding me? Collateral damage, who pulled the trigger is what I want to hear." Anger was written all over Emerlda's face. Burns drank his water, "The situation isn't looking good for you and your company, if you have any further vital information about Mr Luka and his associates that escaped you can tell us. I am sure as a business woman you are aware of the losses intertwined in all this mess, the earlier you clear your name the better it would be for you." Burns pushed over a paper for Emerlda to sign, "I can see your Secretary who is always under your skirt is nowhere to be seen. Last night your suite was empty, where were you?" Emerlda tapping her fingers on the table replied, "Should l produce an alibi for the previous night? His face is glued at the back of my head because of his terrible bedding skills. A single woman of my age has needs…but yesterday my luck was purely terrible." Burns fuming with anger asked, "Did you lend a hand in the illegal business your uncle was conducting?" Emerlda with puppy eyes replied, "I had no idea he would do this, on the surface he was my idol. If l had known I would have put an end to this…" "Don't bullshit me, your father started all this illegal activity. How can you not have known given your position at the company? I know you and your gang are trying to start bullshit in my territory but this is what is going to happen…you need to pack your s**t and return to Russia." Standing from her chair Emerlda said, "I see, am l free to leave…it is not like you have evidence to link me to anything." Burns opening the door for Emerlda said, "You might have escaped unharmed this time, but it doesn't mean you are off the hook." Burns felt frustrated when all the reports cleared Emerlda and her company's name. Hitting the table, Burns dialled his phone, "Is Mr Ginero and his family safe? Make sure they are guarded every second until the trial is over, this is the only chance for us to end these bastards."

Emerlda arrived at Luka's villa, the reporters were dispersed by his guards. Daniel handed Emerlda a cup of coffee, she sat on the couch and crossed her legs. Emerlda looked at Sarah, "I might not have been the greatest niece to my uncle but at least I can bury him with dignity. His funeral shall be held back in Russia in the next seventy-two hours, for him to be buried with dignity all those responsible for his death should first pay for his death. In the next seventy-two hours, whether I am present or not bury my uncle with the respect he deserves." All the gang members were dismissed to escort Sarah and the corpse back in Russia. Emerlda visited Sam, handing him over her ring she said, "If I manage to complete my work here, let us get married and have a normal family. Take care of my son and all that l own. It is an order that you return to Russia." Sam passionately kissed Emerlda, looking deep in her eyes he said, "Let us return together, forget about this place…is this worth risking your life?" Emerlda held both of Sam's hands, "All I wanted at first was to create a stable environment for my business…but now I want to obtain the respect and dignity I have lost. They have started this war…I am just wrapping it up…" The situation was now a personal task for Emerlda, she didn't want to involve her gang she sent them to Russia with an excuse to mourn Luka. Daniel smiled as he looked at his phone, "Boss Lady, I have caught the little mice…shall we heard to work." Emerlda put on her more comfortable but sexy outfit, she replied, "You never seem to disappoint me Daniel, let us go squash this mice."
