"Did you find him," Mr. Brooks asked impatiently

"There is still no sign of him boss," the person said

"What do you mean there is no sign of him, does he just vanish?" Mr brooks yelled into the phone, he has been trying to calm down but he can't help it

"Give us some time boss, we will find him, "the person replied

"You have 24 hours to find him," Mr brooks said

"But boss, 24 hours is..... He was still saying when Mr brooks cut him short

"24 hours is too much right, that's to show you how Merciful I am," Mr. Brooks said

"No boss, actually 24 hours is not enough," the person replied

"What am I paying you for? Huh!! Am I paying you so you could just give me excuses?.... Now listen to me!! You have 24 hours to provide information about him," Mr. Brooks said and ended the call

Jason was in his office arranging some files, home office actually; he didn't go to work. He decided to call Lucas since his mother insisted on seeing him

Lucas is the only Friend he has, he doesn't like making friends. To him, none of the boys are up to what he wants as Friends

But when he came across Lucas, he feels connected to him, something keeps telling him that they have met before but he can't figure out where

He called Lucas but he didn't pick the first ring so he decided to try again, and he picked the second Ring

"Hey, Lucas" Jason called

"Hey buddy," Lucas replied

"Seems like you are in a clubhouse, that place is too noisy," Jason said

"Oh yeah, I went to do my stuff, what's up" Lucas replied

"Was thinking if you would come to my place, mom wants to see you" Jason said not knowing if he would accept or not

"Are you thinking or do you want me to come around?" He teased

"Fine I want you to come," Jason replied

"Now you are talking, but it will be later cos I am going to drop something at Mr. Smith's house then I will come maybe when am done," Lucas said

"You are going to Mr. Smith's house, what for?" Jason shouted

"Something special, or is there a problem," he asked Calmly

"No, not at all, I will hang up now, lemme me know when you are coming," Jason replied and ended the call

"Damn, what in God's name is he going there to do? Why can't he just live her alone," Jason shouted as he smashed his phone on the wall

A maid came running in immediately

"Sir, are you alright," she asked Calmly, cause she has never seen him this angry before

"Get out," Jason replied

"Sir, I..... He grabbed a chair and threw it at her, but she was quick enough to duck it

"You are fired, I don't want to see you anywhere around here, it's always you, why must it be you, can't you leave her and find someone else?" Jason ranted panting heavenly

His mother heard the noise and rushed into his office immediately

"My baby, what's happening, who's making you angry," she asked surprised to him in that state

"Why can't he find someone else's mom, why must it be her," he said holding himself so he won't boost out crying

"Her!!! Which is her?" She asked confused

" I love her mom, why must my friend love the same person I also loved," Jason replied hitting his hand on his desk

"Calm down son, now take a deep breath, ....good, now tell me what happened," she asked trying to understand what he was talking about

"Ok, there is this girl whose name is Sandra, I love her at first sight but later discovered that my friend Lucas is also into her and one other boy has a soft spot for her... And now I don't know what to do mom. Lucas and the guy fought yesterday all because of her,... And today I called Lucas only for him to tell me that his going to see the same girl..... it hurt mom," Jason said with so much bitterness

"Oh, no history wants to repeat itself," she said slowly but he heard her

"What history did you mean," Jason asked looking at his mother

"Now between the three of you who did she love," she asked instead avoiding the question

"I dunno," Jason replied slowly

"Let her be, Kill every feeling you have for her, you will find someone else," she said avoiding his eyes

"Mom" Jason called surprised

"You heard me, avoid her, I can't lose you for anything... I have already lost so many things, you are all that I have now..... Please promise me you will forget about her," she said with tears in her eyes

"I can't do that mom, I love her," Jason replied

"Please son, you can't love a woman everyone wants, it will only endanger your life," she said slowly trying to touch him but he moved away from her

"I have always listened to you mom, but not this time," Jason said and walked out

"You have to listen to me son, your siblings died because of that, I lost your father because of this situation, please son listen to me," she shouted but he didn't stop to look at her

He spent all evening planning it and now is the time to try it, he brings out his phone and called Lucas

"Hey, Lucas" he called

"Hey, who is this?" Lucas asked trying to find out who was calling him, cause he didn't save the number

Richard changed his tone and spoke up immediately

"Oh, thank goodness, I have been trying to get Jason online but can't reach him, am an investor from Chicago and I want to give him the agreement papers," He replied slowly so that his voice won't be noticeable

"Find then, lemme send my location to you so you can bring it," Lucas said

"No I can't make it there, have been in traffic since afternoon, and I also have an important meeting to attend, but if you are not chanced to come for it, I will just take it back to Chicago," he said

"Alright, send the location I will be there shortly," Lucas replied and ended the call

He tried calling Jason but his line was off, he called him up to five times but it still wasn't connecting

A message popped into his phone and he checked it to see the location, he tried calling Jason again but it still didn't connect

He sent the message to Jason before heading to the location
