one day Samuel and Stella decided to pay a visit to the museum, they were accompanied by several guards to ensure their safety. Although Stella wasn't comfortable with going to public places because she was scared of what might happen, Samuel insisted since the museum was heavily guarded their safety should be granted. During the tour they visited different artwork of all kinds from different artists all over the world, after hours of the tour they were a blackout at the museum and everyone was tensed, Samuel immediately grabbed Stella by her hand and the security with them immediately turned on their night vision attached to their glasses. It took a few minutes before the problem could be ratified and by the time it was ratified the whole security that was meant to guard Samuel and Stella was all down, and strange men putting on Facial Masks were surrounding them, it looked like a reality show to Samuel because everything happened in a split second, how were they able to take down trained men from the army? I guess there's nothing science can't do. The guards that escorted Samuel and Stella were injected with Propofol which would make them fall asleep for a very long time, Samuel was surprised because he played his cards right how come the stranger that had been after them finally got to them, how did he know of their location? how did he know where to find them? or was someone back at the hideout working with the stranger? there were a lot and a lot of questions running on Samuel's head, Stella on the other hand was terrified that she almost passed out seeing the situation of things. One of the men on Mask approached Samuel, the man held a phone and one could tell he was speaking to someone with the phone, " we have everyone under control you can move in" the masked man said raising the phone in his hand like someone showing another person the surroundings on his phone. Everyone present at the Museum was asked to move to one corner of the place and they were heavily guarded by armed men, Samuel and Stella who were the real deal were asked to stay at another corner of the room, the setting looked like that of a court. A chair was set at the centre of the room, although no one sat on it and this made Samuel believe that the masked men were working for someone, but who could it be? this strange individual that had refused to let them know peace. In Samuel's life, he wouldn't believe he would have to run for his life because he never had a problem with anyone and he was just an easygoing guy.
" let the court Arise, " a voice said out loud as a man dressed in a red suit came out from amongst the people held captive at the other corner, he also wore a mask but was never asked to take it off even during the arrangement, Stella immediately told Samuel that she recognises the voice, and it sounded like that of Patrick. The man approached Samuel and Stella who were at another edge, " guess who was behind the mask", they were both quiet, "I asked a question, guess who was behind the mask?" he shouted repeatedly. "just a coward who can't show his face " Samuel finally gave him a reply
"Oh, is that what you think, am a coward" he put a gun on Samuel's head, " is that what you think, does this scenario look like it needs a hero right now, even if you want to be a hero how many people can you save at a time. Look around you, we have the place under control, the police are outside but they can't do anything because we have a civilised captive", the man sounded furious one could sense the frustration in his statement. The room was filled with fear, no one among the crowd understood what was going on, and only Samuel and Stella had little idea because the masked man seemed to be too patient with them, if he was the one handling the whole issue then they would have come to a conclusion by now, just as all these were running through the head of Samuel another strange looking man dressed in a red suit also came out from one of the corners in the room, this particular man wasn't putting on a mask. It was as if he wanted the crowd most especially Samuel and Stella to see his face, by the time he appeared from a shady part of the room to the brighter side it was shocking to see Andrew, even some of the people held captive recognised him. Seeing Andrew alone gave Samuel some confidence because he knew Andrew was his biggest rival all his life and he was ready to take him on whenever, and wherever.
" you these old greedy looking bastard," Samuel said as he forced himself to stand up, Andrew was surprised at the courage Samuel suddenly showed, "Are you saying this just to impress your little sidechick over here", Stella was quiet and she knew she couldn't join the conversation even though she was accused wrongly, who would dare enter such a conversation having a gun pointed to his head. Samuel was put down to his knees by one of the armed men standing beside him, Andrew sat on the chair that was left at the centre of the room earlier, he observed the crowd at one side and smiled, the smile was like that of a wicked man who has already plotted his evil plan, he turned back to Samuel and Stella, he then instructed one of the men to get Stella to where he was sitting, and a wrapped portrait was given to Stella, " Open it!"
she gently opened the portrait given to her, and her surprise, she saw the corpse of Peter her former husband, "why are you showing me this" she asked with tears in her eyes, the agony in her body expression made Samuel believe there was no good in whatsoever she saw in that portrait, Andrew handed over the portrait to Samuel who had a doubtful face on, " take a look, all these is for him",
"And what's your business with him" Samuel asked, just as the last statement was said, Patrick took off his mask, "Because he's my best friend. You think you can stab my friend go free and live your normal life, they're a very big impposibility in that" Patrick said and the more Patrick spoke the more the anger in him gets more worsened.
