" What do you want" said Micheal. " We want you to kill someone" said Martha. Micheal fell silent for a while before talking again, "who?" He asked. "Charles Wayne" said Martha. "The writer that live streamed earlier.?" Micheal asked. "Yes, that's him"said Martha. Micheal fell silent for a while before speaking to again, " may l know why you want him dead and why it has to be me that should kill him?" Micheal asked. " Well , l can answer your first question, as for the second question, only my boss can answer that, l also don't why he chose you for the job" said Martha, " Go on" said Micheal , " You see , my boss believe that Charles ongoing book , Godslayer, was affecting his life" said Micheal, " how so?" Asked Micheal , "whenever Charles writes a bad event for one of his characters, Barcus, that bad event happens to my boss. Take a look at what happened a while ago, as soon as Charles said ' Barcus's body started to tremble, and with an intense heartache he fell unconscious ', the same thing happened to my boss on stage as well" Martha explained. " That's unbelievable, then why don't you just persuade or pay him to stop writing book, why do you have to kill him" said Micheal, because he doesn't see the reason why they have to kill him , when they can pay him a whole lot of money to stop him from completing the book. " We already tried that, we offered him a million dollars, but he rejected it and insisted on completing the book" said Martha, " Then just tell him the effects of him writing the book, make him understand" Micheal hadn't completed his sentence when Martha shut him up, "do you want to see your daughter again or not" , Micheal fell silent, and sighed, "of course, l want to see my daughter again" he said, " then just do as you are told, you kill Charles and we run a DNA test on the five girls to see if one of them is your daughter." Micheal looked up and sighed " fine I'll do it" . " Okay , all the data you need to now about him, will be emailed to you, make sure you get done with it quickly ". He nodded " Can l take my leave now". " Sure, l'll see you out" she offered but he declined " no need l think I know my way out " , " Micheal , you've been searching for six years without relenting, you even gave up your job and your life , just to look for her, is it worth it" " of course it is worth , she is my life , after her mother died she was the only one keeping me sane , she is my everything , I won't give up on her , even if l have to search my whole life, l would " and with that he left the room, he was so lost in thought, he even stumbled into one of the staff , who was carrying a load of document in her hand, " I'm sorry , l'm so sorry " he kept saying he helped her gather the documents. "Are you okay sir" she said, he nodded, "l'm fine , thank you". He apologized again before walking away and left the building.
Micheal's pov:
I walked out of the building with a heavy heart, l still can't believe l agreed to kill a human being, l called for a taxi and went home. I was thinking about what transpired between me and Martha through out the ride. As soon as l got home l received the email Martha said she'll send. I sighed and went to the bathroom to have a shower, only a shower can help me calm down , l stayed in there for a long time before getting out. Then l went outside to some fresh air , as soon as l got out I felt the chilling cold air on my body. I closed my eyes and let out s a sigh. I still can't believe I agreed to kill a person, l'm I wrong. I have never kill a living being in my entire life, yet here l am agreeing to do it , just so l could see my daughter again . I'm I being too selfish. Well it is too late to back out now, l have already agree to do it. Even if it is just one chance l get to be with her , l would seize it no matter what it takes . Yes, I'm doing this for my daughter and besides alll is fair in love and war.
Martha's pov :
I still can't believe it, there are still fathers like Micheal in the world. Fathers who truly love their children with their heart and soul , will do anything for them. I really hate parents generally, don't blame me, you've got my parents to blame. They abandoned me a long time ago. My father, was just a gangster who had a little fun with my mom, which mistakenly result to me. My dad wasn't ready for any child resposibilities so he abandoned me with my mom, and my mom was a well known prostitute who doesn't give a shit about being a mother, she even said to my face that she had tried to abort me , but I refused to be aborted, that l was too stubborn to die. Later, when l turned six she left, she said she relocating to another country, l thought she would bring me with her but when l woke up l saw that she had packed all her stuffs and left , and there l was left alone. It was because if my experience that l have the mind set that no parents are good . But today, when saw Micheal's determination to find his daughter at all cost , l was...moved, How l wish my parents were like him, then l won't be having a such a complicated life. I just hope that my boss isn't playing with his emotions and that the five little girls are really connected to him. Knowing the kind of boss have, he loves toying with other people's feelings, Micheal really loves his daughter, he doesn't deserve to be played like that. Well let's just see what happens next. And with that she continued with what she was typing.
Then her boss called, " is it done" he asked, " yes sir ", " then why didnt you call to inform me" he said angrily, " calm down sir, l did call , but the doctor said you were sleeping and that you shouldn't be disturbed " she explained, Mr Chen sighed " l am sorry for speaking like that but you should have known better, when it comes to matters like this l won't mind being disturbed" " l am sorry, sir " ," fine , whatever" he cut the call, Martha sighed, she wanted to ask him badly if he wasn't playing Micheal, but she refrained herself from doing so. She took her mind of it, and continued with her work.

I got a call from my best friend , he is coming to see me , we planned to meet at our usual meeting point. It was a restaurant where we have lunch back in our uni days. As soon as I got there l saw him waving at me like crazy,. It s been along time since l last saw him , l went towards him , we hugged each other tight , l guess he missed me as much as l missed him , " how are you bro" he asked, " l am doing well man and you" " same here" he turned around so l can have a good look at him, laughed and hugged him, I've really missed this guy. " Come on lets get in" he said once pulled back from the hug. Coming in here triggered old memories. This is place where we the both of us first met . I was just a bitter guy who doesn't want have any thing to do with anyone, and no one wanted anything to do with me until that day , Jack came up to me and asked if l could be his friend . Flash back,: l was seating alone as usual drinking my juice when he walked up to me" hi there" l looked up, " can l sit with you" he said. I looked so surprised at that moment, " sure you can " " thanks" . Don't mention it" l said " l know this feels awkward but like to be your friend" he'said again l was surprised
