CHAPTER 1

The Rise to power

Derek is a man of few words, but his actions speak volumes. As he walks down the bustling streets of the city, he exudes a sense of confidence and purpose. He's dressed impeccably, with a tailored suit and a file in his hand. People around him can't help but take notice of his commanding presence.

But there's more to Derek than just his appearance. He's a man with a strong work ethic and a sharp mind. There are several people waiting to be interviewed for a job. They are all dressed in professional attire, with some suits and others in business casual attire. Some are sitting nervously, tapping their feet or fidgeting with their hands, while others are trying to stay calm and composed. They all have their resumes and portfolios in hand, ready to showcase their skills and experience.Some of them are flipping through their notes, reviewing potential interview questions, while others are scrolling through their phones, possibly researching the company. Some are chatting quietly with each other, possibly trying to ease their nerves, while others are sitting in silence, deep in thought.Each person has a unique expression on their face, ranging from excitement to anxiety. Some have confident smiles, while others have furrowed brows and nervous twitches. Some are bouncing their legs, unable to sit still, while others are sitting upright, trying to maintain a professional demeanor.Despite their differences, they all have one thing in common – the desire to impress the interviewer and land the job. They all have their own reasons for wanting the job – whether it's to further their career, gain experience, or simply to earn a living – and they all have put in effort to prepare for this moment.As they wait, they can't help but feel a sense of anticipation and uncertainty. They are all hoping to make a good first impression and stand out among the other candidates. Some may even be mentally rehearsing their responses to potential questions.Overall, the atmosphere is tense yet determined as everyone waits for their turn to be called in for the interview. They know that this is their chance to showcase their skills and personality, and they are all determined to make the most of it.

Some person came out disappointed , some exhausted , some excited,some nervous, there were different expressions, but for Derek he was tired and frustrated he was feeling irritated, annoyed, and fed up with a situation and circumstances of his life .

He have a scowl on his face and his body language was tense and agitated.

He was tired of trying to get a job, while the were being interviewed a man walked and whipped to the secretary after he left we were not even up to a minute and the interview was done....

" What is all this ,.....am tired"....!

He hissed as he walked pass the gate , while he was walking at the street of luego

Suddenly The air was thick with tension as two rival gangs faced off in a deserted alleyway. Both sides were armed to the teeth with powerful guns, ready to unleash a deadly barrage of bullets at each other. The streetlights flickered ominously as the moon peeked out from behind the clouds, casting an eerie glow on the scene.The leader of one gang stepped forward, a sneer on his face as he taunted his enemies. "This ends now," he shouted, his voice filled with malice.Without warning, a gunshot rang out, shattering the silence and igniting the gunfight. The air was soon filled with the deafening sound of gunfire as both sides opened fire, ducking and weaving behind cars and trash cans for cover

.Bullets whizzed through the air, narrowly missing their intended targets and embedding themselves in the walls and pavement. The smell of gunpowder hung heavy in the air, mixing with the metallic scent of blood.Amidst the chaos, screams and shouts could be heard as gang members fell to the ground, their bodies riddled with bullets. The alleyway was quickly becoming a battlefield, with no one showing any signs of backing down.Amidst the chaos, a lone figure emerged, his gun blazing as he took down multiple enemies with deadly accuracy.

He moved with grace and precision, his years of training evident in his every move.The other gang members quickly realized they were outmatched and began to retreat, but not before firing a few final shots in a last-ditch effort.

The lone figure stood tall, his gun still smoking as he surveyed the scene. He had emerged victorious, but at what cost?As the dust settled and the sound of gunfire faded, the once deserted alleyway was now littered with bodies and broken glass.

The lone figure stood alone, a sense of emptiness and sadness washing over him as he realized the senseless violence that had just occurred.In the end, the only sound that remained was the distant wailing of sirens, signaling the arrival of the authorities. The gunfight was over, but the damage had been done. Lives had been lost and there would be consequences to pay.

Derek immediately took cover as he escaped through the tunnel of the street, he came out in front of street batting he has not had a reason to run for years, His street was a jungle immediately they head the gun shut everyone took cover before raising heads little by little to observe. He quickly walk to his door step then he remembered he had dropped his file which contains his documents which he used over eight years of his life to achieve....

" Really......!

How on earth did i get to leave those documents there , who knows if the cops are still there?

I really can't risk it .

But what if something happens to those documents how will i go about it ?

I will have to take the risk...

Derek summon up courage and went through same tunnel he came with , hiding through the walls observeing if there were cops around,

When he arrived at the site there were no cops , after much observations, he started Looking for the documents, he searched, checking different conners of the building but found nothing , his mind raced with all the important information that was contained in those documents. They were crucial for him and he couldn't afford to lose them. He couldn't shake off the feeling of panic that was slowly creeping up on him.

He then moved on to the drawers, carefully pulling them out and rummaging through the contents. But again, his search was in vain. He was starting to lose hope and his frustration was turning into desperation.

But just as he was about to give up, his eyes fell upon a small pile of papers tucked away in a corner of the junks pan. With trembling hands, he picked up the papers and to his immense relief, they were the missing documents.

A wave of relief washed over him as he clutched the documents tightly to his chest. He couldn't believe his luck and he made a mental note to be more careful with important papers in the future.

With a sigh of relief, the man finally left the site , grateful that his search for the lost documents was successful.

Derek was startled, surprised, and possibly even uncomfortable ,. His body also react with a heightened level of alertness and tension and he felt something touched him , he turned with radical speed but there was nothing there , he laught at him self , i have been tricked by my mind ....he said to him self in low whippering tune and then he walked back home .

Soon the night came knocking , It was a cold and stormy night when Derek heard a loud knock on his door. He cautiously opened the door to find a man standing there, drenched in rain and shivering from the cold. He looked like he had been in a fight, with bruises and cuts on his face. He begged Derek to let him in, saying that his life was in danger. Without hesitation, Derek let him in, his kind nature overriding any sense of fear.The man, who we'll call Jack, quickly explained his situation to Derek. He was being chased by a notorious criminal gang and had stumbled upon his house while trying to escape. He had no one else to turn to and begged Derek to hide him until he could figure out a way to escape the city. Derek could see the fear in Jack's eyes and felt sorry for him. He agreed to let him stay and promised to keep him safe.

However, as the night progressed, Derek's initial kindness was replaced by fear and anxiety. She realized that by helping Jack, she had put herself in danger as well. The thought of being found or followed by the criminal gang terrified him.

He quickly turned off all the lights and closed all the curtains, making sure that no one could see inside his house. Derek was constantly on edge, listening for any suspicious noises and peeking through the curtains to make sure no one was outside. He even locked himself in his bedroom, afraid to leave Jack alone in the living room. His heart was pounding, and his palms were sweaty with fear.Despite his fear, Derek tried to remain calm and composed in front of Jack.

He didn't want to make him more anxious and cause him to make any impulsive decisions. He made him some tea and offered him some food, trying to ease his nerves. He also reassured him that he would do everything in his power to keep him safe.As the night wore on, Derek's fear turned into anger towards the criminal gang. He couldn't believe that they would put him and Jack in such a dangerous situation. He also felt guilty for bringing a criminal into his house, even though he knew he was just a victim in all of this.Derek's fears were finally put to rest when the morning came, and Jack managed to escape safely. He let out a sigh of relief and collapsed on his couch, exhausted from the night's events. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He had gone from being a kind and caring person to harboring a criminal and being in danger himself.

While he was trying to catch some sleep John bashed into his room , Derek jumped out of the bed in fear , he hid him self behind the bedside

Hahaha... John laughed at him

"Seriously man" .....! You scared me .

Gosh man you have no god, see how scared you are like a baby....he continued laughing...

While he left Derek closed his eyes to catch some sleep , then the thoughts of his father flashed his mind, Derek has to run from north Coast Prad because of what he did to his father why they where in a hot argument , i wonder what my brother will be thinking of me.....he thought as tears roll down his eyes.... after some minute he shaked his head come off it man , he never cared if i was alife , all he thought about was all about him self .

He replied smile , even after the conversation is over he was still smiling , lost in wonder land , he hope to see how the Central City looks like, it is believed they are beautiful and well dressed too,he was looking forward to it.

 It a Monday morning and Derek woke up earlier, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement for his upcoming interview. He had been preparing for this opportunity for weeks, researching the tavern and practicing his answers to common interview questions.

After a quick breakfast, Derek reviewed his notes and went over his resume one last time. He wanted to make sure he was confident and well-prepared for the interview.

He arrived at the Tavern venue early, giving himself plenty of time to find the location and calm his nerves. He took a few deep breaths and reminded himself why he needs the job and why he was the right fit for the job.

As he walked into the office, Derek was greeted by a friendly receptionist who directed him to the waiting area. He used this time to review his notes and mentally prepare for the interview.

Finally, it was time for his interview. Derek was led to a conference room where he met with the hiring manager and a few members of the team. He greeted them with a smile and a firm handshake, trying to show his confidence and enthusiasm.

The interview started with some basic questions about his previous work experience and educational background. Derek was able to confidently answer these questions, drawing upon his past experiences and skills.

As the interview progressed, the questions became more specific and focused on his knowledge and capabilities in the role he was applying for. Derek was not able to provide concrete examples and showcase his expertise in the field.

After the interview the were asked to leave, as normal " we will get back to you"

This is becoming frustrating Derek said to him self as he walked to the exit door, he was carried away with his exasperation that he did not notice the person in front of

Him and he bumped into him ....

His expression were a mix of surprise, embarrassment, and regret. Derek's eyebrows raised, with his mouth slightly open in shock, and his hands up in a defensive gesture. He also have a furrowed brow and a slight frown, showing his discomfort and remorse. With his body leaning back slightly, as if he is trying to distance him from the situation.

Ahh...am sorry, i didn't
