Chapter 15 - Chap 15: Motherly love

Ajax remembers....

"My mother, the only thing that I live for!", states ajax.

"I‐I remember the day you got diagnosed with cancer! It was on my birthday!"

"You kept it a secret, payed for my expenses, school, tuition, health, clothes, even when you were slowly and slowly dying inside!"

"You kept it a SECRET!! A burden hidden from me! Till you couldn't any more!"

"You gave me everything!! EVERYTHING!!"

"And when I grew up, and I knew your pains. The medicines!! The medicines became too expensive!"

"I Did!! I DID EVERYTHING!!"

"FOR YOU! mom".

"Even when dad left you, you kept your ground!"

"You stayed strong!"

"For me!!!"

At the hospital.. the lights beaming, shining, patient's being discharged and turned in, ajax stands up holding his dear memories. looking over the glass, there laying ajax's mom. Breathing heavily.

Ajax cries, looking over at his mother! Squeezing his eyes!

The doctor comes out... trying his best to keep the patient alive and healthy.

Ajax asks immediately; "Doctor! Doctor! Is she okay!?"

Doctor replies with a sigh, saying that they are trying their best to keep her alive. He talks about the medicines, and the expenses! Already highlighting the fact that the last fees are still in due.

He gives a rather upsetting news; "Sir. Ajax, if you don't pay for her expenses now! We will have to discharge her!"

Ajax quietly listens, as he had already poured all his savings into her expenses!

He clenches his hands, not in anger, but in total hopefullness!

Ajax knew this would happen! He knew he wouldn't be able to pay, but he still tried. He didn't want to lose her.

That day, he went crying in his car, disheartened by the words of the doctor!

He tried to ask for loans, extra pay, he did everything!

But the more he tried to pull, and save for her! The more of a headache it became for him.

He got fired from his job.. he started to live alone in his apartment!

Barely able to provide for himself, at that moment, struggling in loans and interest!

His eyes, filled with anger, and Fury, not knowing what to do!

In a fit of rage he starts stealing, not for himself, but for his mother, whilst acting as if he is stable!

But still, the loans, the interests start pressing him down!

He knew that he couldn't provide with just small shoplifting, or pickpocketing!

He had to do, something big!

He gathers up his friends whom also have been struggling with their own issues!

"Bruce, David, zain, Anthony".

He forms up a gang, not to kill, but to survive!

They start slowly, as gang members, only threatening not killing!

Ajax pays his loans, and interests, but is still is out of money to pay for his mother.

Then it all happened, while browsing the dark web, he found a task! A big one, one that could change there whole lives!

Ajax clicks on the request, on the black market!

At first he believed, that it wasn't true!

But, at night, he just couldn't stop to think about the money! Life changing money!

He woke up that night, late, rushed to his laptop, opened it up, seeing the offer still lit up and clicks on it!

Hoping something to happen!

The day passes, ajax wakes up, and sees an email, not some ordinary one!

It has a address, it was very formal, it highlighted a location somewhere at the sewers!

Ajax became hesitated, but curiosity struck, he decided to go undercover, at night, with a gun, incase things get out of hands!

He drives safely to the location, eyeing everything in sight walking carefully.

When In front of him, two men in red attire, covered fully come up to him!

Ajax pulls his gun out! Asking who they are!

For a moment they stay silent, but then they reply; "We are your employers!"

Listening this ajax hands his gun down!

He says; "So, is the million dollar deal true?"

To which they reply; "Yes!"

Ajaxs eyes gleamed, his hope risen up!

They ask; "Do you still wish to do this!?"

Ajax without a thought says yes.

"Yes, I will!", says ajax.

Then they give a warning, they say that if he is unable to do so, he will face the consequences!

Ajax nods willingly!

He prepares his gang, and sets to accomplish the respective objective!

They set out with a plan! A good one, a fool proof plan.

Only to face some hurdles in it.

His gang accomplishes, and returns the book only to find that they had messed up on the part where they had to secure the information from everyone!

And because of these hurdles, they had to face the charges.

Either to die, or get their hands on the child whom had read from the book!

Present day.. Ajax in his apartments bedroom.

Ajax shouts; "Who is this!!"

"And why are you with my mother!!"

The caller answers; "Sir.Ajax, we are here for an offer. For the completion of the task!"

Ajax is shocked; "What‐what do you mean!"

"We are your employers!"

Ajaxs tone switches; "What do you want now, my men searching for the kid!"

They say; "Oh no no! We are only here to reward you! Sir.ajax because we gave you another task. We've decided to also increase the reward!"

They're tone switches; "Kill the kid, and we will save your mother!"

The instructions were clear!

Ajax replies; "Sav–save my mother!!?"

They answer; "Yes, we can save your mother from illness, but there are going to me conditions, that you will have to accept!"

Those were that if he had failed to do his tasks, the mother would face execution!

Ajax thinks in silence...

The caller then says; "Don't be sceptical, ajax we can do things no ordinary doctor can, and I assure you this!"

"We have the medicine that can cure this cancer!", they highlight...

The call cuts!

Ajax thinks for a brief second! He is motivated, and is ready to do anything!!!

Even kill for his dear mother!

He becomes desperate... and ruthless.

Checking in on his gang members if they found a clue on the kids!

Then ajax thinks, Tries to remember the kids faces, he searches, as he had seen, one of the many faces before..

After a bit of searching, he gets up Takes his gun out loads it with bullets..
