BRENT WAS SHOCKED

In the parking lot when the driver of the black panel van saw the two cars load of men in black driving in, he signalled his companion to drive the van out seeing danger waiting ahead.

Realizing this job was not worth his life and he was fortunate to escape the last few times. Calling the Boss, explaining the situation and requesting another vehicle as soon as possible if he were to continue following this client.

Brent on the other hand was so caught up in his conversation that he didn't realise the van had left. 

When Johnny came and Brent looked in the direction of where the van was, there was just a vacant spot.

He became angry for losing so much time for nothing when he heard a few hurried footsteps heading in his direction. 

Gideon reached the parking lot knowing exactly where Brent's car was parked. What he didn't expect was to see about ten men in black surrounding his car. 

Backing away immediately he diverted the few others with him in another direction. He had no choice at that point not wanting to be caught.

Mumbling under his breath as he gritted his teeth, "Why is it every time I get close to him there is always a hindrance as though there is an unseen shield protecting him?" Giving up on his quest for the day he led the others out of the parking lot.

When his friend Shawn asks him, Gideon, I thought you wanted to give him a good beating, so why did you change your mind?" The others in the group agreed in unison.

Gideon didn't want to reveal what he saw in the parking lot next thing they thought him to be weak, so he said,  "We will get the opportunity soon don't worry, now let us go and have a bite and make another plan."

Brent on the other hand observed the group of youths that was running into the carpark as though they were looking for someone then they stopped suddenly. Unable to see their faces clearly as they stood behind some vehicles for a brief minute before they diverted to the opposite direction.

Returning his attention to Johnny giving him the vehicle number and instructing "I want you to quarry who is the owner of that vehicle and which company they work for. And Johnny don't slip up this time, the last time you fail I excuse you, but another failure is unacceptable."

Driving straight to the Pastor's home seeing a woman in her forties come out to answer the door.  Greeting her he calmly said, "Ma'am good day, I wanted to quarry on Jessy's health?"

  Brent saw her hesitation before she replied,  Please wait a minute Sir, let me inform the young lady and my Mistress that you are here, who may I say is enquiring, Sir?"

Brent didn't want to delay,  "I am sorry, it is Mr. Larson."

Brent  observed when she looked up to watch his face and get a bit closer, "You are Mr. Larson?"

Brent became angry as he took two steps backwards, he quickly calmed himself down knowing if she ignored him he would not get to see Jessy, " Sorry to say but yes, I hope you are not too disappointed." 

  When she chuckled with a broad smile, "Absolutely not Sir, in fact, you look so young and handsome, I was expecting someone older." 

Brent was impressed although she was inquisitive she even had a gentle smile, "Sir. my Son speaks very highly of you."

With a slight frown, he questions, "Your Son?" 

The talkative woman responded immediately, "Yes Sir, he works in your factory."

Curious to know, "Which of the factories he works in?"

Without thinking twice she responded, "The one that is closed down, isn't today the court matter, what was the verdict?"

Stunned for a moment before he responded, "Yes, it was,  but please I am tired and  just here to see Miss Albert, and then return to my office."

Realizing the woman was not taking a hint to inform the Mistress of the house, Brent turned aside and took out his phone with the intention of calling the Pastor.

At that moment his phone rang and he picked up quickly seeing it was Johnny. "Tell me what news you have?"
