We are wanted out their and giving away our identities will only make things worse!"
Not mollified or convinced by all her words, he pulled closer to her and said in a low but firm voice that could have sent chills through anybody. "Now listen to me, Sandra! I've had it with your disgusting and overbearing attitude. Let this be the last time you will deliberately go against me by giving the boys order that is not from me or Ahmad! You do something stupid and impulse again and you are out!"
"Out" she scoffed undaunted. "You can't kick me out of this group! Its success rely on me and you know it!" She bragged. "I'm the one who bring in all the needed Intel and I'm the one who sleeps with the commissioner of police to keep the police off our back! Do you think this group would have gotten this far without me ?!" She sneered.
"Oh, don't let all these get to your head, Sandra! Get down that high horse and be rest assured that no one is indispensable; not even you! I mean my words, Sandra, and you Can date me by pushing me to the wall if you want to! You have broken many rules and yet I've overlooked most but not on this one! As the leader of this team, i alone have the final decision to what ever happens in this team and the hostages! If that's too much for you, you can go and join other groups or create yours! We are kidnappers not murderers! I'm not going to waste innocent lives simply because of money or i have the power to! If you screw up again, that's the end of the road for you, Sandra!, dare me!" Mike hissed in warning.

Mike hissed in warning.
She glared at him for a moment, seething within, the she turned angrily and walked away, mumbling under her breath. After watching her disappear from sight, Ahmad who had been quiet all through the exchange of words finally said to Mikel. "But let's be honest boss, you know that we need Sandra. She plays a lot of roles that makes this business more successful. She has connection high places and tries her best to get the police off our back"
"Yes i know" Mikel answered, obviously displeased by what has happened. "But for the six weeks she's beginning to go off the rail and i can't have that" Mike answered, pulling out a packet of cigarettes and sticking a cigarette between his lips.
Ahmad held out a lighter and helped him light it as he replied. "I think she's just acting out and you alone can bring her back around" he put the lighter back into his pocket. "In as much as you try to play ignorant to why she's been acting up, I'm sure you know that you are the cause"
What do you mean?" Mikel asked as he expelled a cloud of smoke through his lips and nostrils. Holding the cigarette between his fingers and pulling it away from his lips as he gave his second in command a questioning look.
Ahmad gave a knowing smile. "Sorry to pry boss, but i thought you two had a thing"
"A thing? Pfft!" Mikel looked away, dragging off his cigarette. "That was just nothing but a fling since she wouldn't stop trying to seduce me"
"A fling that took place five times?" Ahmad gave a wry smile.
"All initiated by her" Mikel said in defense. "We both know that Sandra will stop at nothing until she gets what she wants. I've never met a woman as persistent as she is "
"Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps she expected more?"
Mikel threw a quick glance at him and replied. "Ahmad even doesn't am interested in having anything with a woman for now. Sandra us not my woman, she's too wild and nothing close to being intelligent.not my woman, she's too wild and nothing close to being intelligent. Fine, i admit that she's quite smart in this game and knows her onions, but nah...." He slowly shook his head as he looked at the distance hill. "She's certainly not my type...beside, the last thing that this kind of business needs is the involvement of emotion. I'm not in on any lovey-dovey-shit right now and never will be. I've got better things to do that fall in love with any one. Soon, she will be asking me to take her to the alter, hell no! Am never going to mix business with pleasure, no sane man should do that"
"So, you agree that you clearly know why she's been acting up then . she definitely wants more like every other woman would and i don't blame her for that." Ahmad shrugged. "Women are emotional, once you starts fucking them, they want to keep you as theirs".
"Yes she told me" Mike said. " she told me that she would like to settle down. Have a family of her own and live a normal life".
"And what did you tell her?" Ahmad asked.
"That i wasn't interested in such or having anything emotional With anyone. I told her that am too invested in this business and has no room to invest any emotion for woman. And ever since then, she hates sight of me. She has been deliberately doing some stupid things to annoy me. Today was just one of them"
"Why not get give her what she wants...
"be ready next now..
