My dad has invited you over for dinner, tonight.
Why would your dad invite me for dinner?
Silly, because you are my boyfriend.
And what is me bringing your boyfriend got to do with the invitation?
Because I told him about you.
Why would you tell your dad about me, Mira?
Well, he just wants to know who I'm dating, that is all.
Do you mean he wants to analyze and interrogate who you are dating?
That is not it and you knew what I meant.
Well you are not supposed to just drop it like this, I have a meeting tonight.
You aren't going to give me that excuse Mikel?
What excuses?
Don't make anything out of this please just try and be there by "eight o'clock this evening.
Alright, but I will not be staying long, I have an engagement by " nine thirty this evening.
That is okay hon.
Mikel is not happy about the whole situation, he has been dating Mira for about six months now and he wasn't sure it would even have gone this far due to his work. Well, he sure will give it a try and see what her old man is about besides he has nothing to hide or to be suspicious of, so why not just go there and have free food before going on his engagement, seems fair he killed two birds with one stone.
Mira was happy to get Mikel to agree to come for dinner, she knows she is in love, well she is twenty-two and Mikel is twenty-six. She can't see any reason why they can't marry after all some people marry at eighteen and even below too. Well what can she do to get him proposed is all that matters. For now, let her family know him first and things can get started from there anyway hopefully he is Mr right she giggled and can't wait to see how things go with her family.
Mikel gets set to see Mira's family that evening, he just takes it as one of those things when it comes to relationships. Was it worth it? He questioned himself but came to no answer that he dim fit for reassurance so he dressed up and went to her family house. He rang the bell and her brother was the one who answered the door." Good evening, you must be Jake?
.Yeah, that is right. Jake said extending his hands to Mikel for a handshake. And Mikel shakes him and compliments his grips." Nice grip, I saw your game last Friday night for The PATHFINDERS, you made just one single mistake that caused your team to lose that match, you were marvelous.
That is very kind of you with the compliment, only if you heard the comment made by the PHOENIX guy who tackled me.
Ha you mean the guy with the sandy hair, with the stupid grin?
Yeah, the same guy. At this Mikel laughed and looked at Jake with a twinkle in his eyes." Now that fool of a guy is my nephew Jakob, that was how I was at the game. They were interrupted by Mira." Jake, why keep him to yourself? Never mind come with me, Mikel. And she ushered him to the dining table where Mr and Mrs Anold were waiting." Dad and mum, this is my boyfriend. Mikel meet my parents Mr and Mrs Anold.
Good evening Mikel and please have a seat, Mr. Anold said while extending his hands for a handshake, it is nice to finally meet you, we haven't heard any other word from Mira except Mikel this or that.
Mikel smiles, good evening sir, it's an honor to meet you and your family and I appreciate your invitation.
Thank you, so can we get started now?
Sure. So Mira does the serving an$ they were having a good meal when Mr Anold turned to Mikel." So how did you meet my daughter?
Dad? Mira looks at him, he just shrugs his shoulder.
It is okay Mira, Mikel turned to her ly, I met her by accident. I was in a hurry and kinda spilled some stuff on her so I offered to pay for it and one thinledad to another I asked her out for lunch and here we are. He wasn't honest at all, he was chasing a case as a spy, but no one needed to know.
So what do you do?
I'm a consultant sir.
A consultant?
Yes sir.
What do you consult or I should say what do people meet you for to consulted ?
I worked with a consulting agency sir, we deal with biotech research and some inventions for big organizations.
Interesting. And at that, there was a huge explosion and everyone stifled gasps, Jake went to the window and part the curtain a huge ball of fire could be seen in a distance far from them. He went to the television and turned it on. The newscast is saying there was an explosion just now at First Avenue Drive B flat twenty-seven. At this, Mikel jumped up.
What is wrong? Mira asked him.
That is my brother's house he replied, he brought out his phone and dialed the house to make sure." Damnit out of operation. He dials Jakob's mobile and when it rings he breathes a sigh of relief when he hears his nephew's voice." Jakob, is this you?
Yeah.
Have you seen the damn news?
No what is wrong?
Your damn parents are wrong.
What are you talking about man?
Someone set an explosion in your parent's house and it just detonated.
Jesus, are you sure?
Of course, I am, where are you?
No idea, mum just dragged me to the airport and we just waited to board our plane.
Your parents are not fit to be in the profession they chose man, seems like they have been exposed and now people are after them.
Can you help us?
I'm only a consultant man.
Don't give me that crappy answer uncle, I know what I know.
Well, your old man needs to change his profession.
Easier said than done.
"Yeah, I will have to get back to you please stay safe.
Wait! Are you not going to talk to my mu?.
No, she will only make me angry, me and your mum have never been on good terms you know that so let it rest, I will get your parents out of this mess. And he cut the call only to turn and see the whole Arnold family looking at him." What!
That is a mess up, I'm sorry your brother is in trouble, can't the government do something? Mr Anold asked.
I don't think so, they can only try to keep you in a safe house or another with a change of identity, when you are blown you are on your own, unless you go about killing those after you or the person who gives the order.
What will you do? Mira asked him.
Oh, nothing.
But you said you would get them out of the mess.
"Sure, I will.
But how?
Through my agency, you know doing my consultation things.
"Okay,. And without another word he left, Mikel was furious at his brother and his lackluster attitude to the situation, he was not surprised to see his brother in a bar having a nice drink without caring what was happening around him, he was even shocked to see that he has stayed alive this long in the game, well thanks to him for eliminating every threat to his family. Now he has a task to do but first, he needs to know who is after his brother so he can pay them back in their language.
As Mikel stormed out of the Arnold family's house, his mind raced with plans and strategies. He needed to act fast to protect his brother and his family. Ignoring the concerned looks from Mira and her family, he rushed to his car and dialed a number on his phone.
"Tony, it's Mikel. I need everything you can find on a recent explosion at First Avenue Drive, flat twenty-seven. Fast."
Tony, his trusted contact at the agency, acknowledged the request and promised to get back to him soon. Mikel knew time was of the essence.
Meanwhile, at the airport, Jakob and his mother anxiously awaited their flight. The fear of being hunted hung heavy in the air as they boarded the plane, hoping to escape the danger lurking behind them.
Back in the city, Mikel received a call from Tony with the information he requested. Armed with new leads, he began to piece together the puzzle of who was behind the attack on his family.
Days turned into nights as Mikel delved deeper into the dangerous underworld, following trails of betrayal and deceit. With each revelation, his determination only grew stronger. He would stop at nothing to ensure justice for his family.
Finally, after a painstaking investigation, Mikel uncovered the identity of the mastermind behind the attack – a rival syndicate leader seeking to eliminate his competition. With this knowledge in hand, Mikel orchestrated a daring plan to confront the enemy head-on.
Under the cover of darkness, Mikel and his team infiltrated the enemy's stronghold and prepared for a showdown of epic proportions. Gunfire echoed through the night as Mikel fought with everything he had, determined to bring down those who threatened his family.
In a fierce and relentless battle, Mikel emerged victorious, the enemy defeated and his family's safety secured. But the victory came at a cost, as Mikel bore the scars of battle both physical and emotional.
Returning home, Mikel found solace in the embrace of Mira, grateful for her unwavering support throughout the ordeal. Together, they faced the challenges ahead, knowing that their love had been tested and proven true in the face of danger.
As dawn broke over the city, Mikel stood tall, a silent guardian watching over his family, ready to face whatever challenges the future might bring. For he knew that as long as they stood together, they could overcome anything.
