Doubled Revenge

One

The door to his office got banged opened and he looks up from the pile of his desk, wondering who would have intruded with such audacity. Looking up, his adamant eyes meets with that of an afraid sergeant.

“What’s wrong?” He asks, and the sergeant immediately gives his respect before he briskly informs him what was happening.

“Sir, the commissioner is here himself to meet you. He’ll be here in now.” He knows that this will happen, but he doesn’t think it will happen this soon.

He immediately stands up from his desk, pushing away the file he was going through as he walks to the door.

The commissioner of police yells"Michael, did my message not reached you since?” He asks in an angry expression.

He responds to the commissioner after he briefly gave his respect, “Sir I was at the special assignment that your deputy assigned me to.

He aggressively gave him a wrapped envelope and explaining this is your transfer letter from the office of the director. “You were transferred to Buffalo with immediate effect.

Micheal collected the envelope with full energy and gave him a salute, "yes sir" he mentioned, as the commissioner walks away.

He calls out loud “Seargent! start packing up all my private personal belongings, I will send a truck to pack them all in the next hour!” as he walks out of the station and heads towards his car with pride.

He sat on the driver's seat, put on his seat belt and start the car engine, from the car radio while adjusting the volume, it was a rap song by the famous Lil Wayne, (Gotta lotta) playing. A brief smile emerges on his face as he drives away.

Michael parks his car at the gate as he steps down from the car. He steps through the porch and opens the House main entrance door unhurriedly whispering "Hello, anybody home?

It was a full family house, his uncle Gil and Marcus were watching a football match on Television with both of them lying on the couch. He just heard the voices of his aunt Kerres and Jillian from behind voicing "Happy Birthday Michael!" he turns curiously.

It was at that point Michael remembers that today is his birthday. He started smirking and suddenly he heard the voice of his Twins nieces Beatrice and Olivia from his behind again squealing "Surprise!” In their exciting baby voices.

He turns quickly to their direction, " Oh my God,” he lets out happily as he saw them holding a big birthday cake written on it "Happy Birthday Michael" as they rest the cake on the centre table of the sitting room. He blows off the candles of the cake as both his uncles join him as well. Beatrice and Olivia started to quarrel as they all shout “I will give him the first bite”, while Gil and Marcus joined them at the table as well.

The living room door got opened and suddenly two old aged average couple entered, “Michael you’re already home!” They excitedly say at the same time.

“Mom, dad I got transferred to Buffalo with immediate effect.” He tells while bringing out the envelope from his pocket and pointing it towards their direction. “I need to report to Buffalo as soon as possible,” he added.

“What? No way, you go nowhere,” Mom asserts. “You know well how we all hate that place, just the name of that place is frightening to this family. Please don't say that” She adds in a soft voice as he walks towards her direction calmly.

She holds his hands as she tells, “You know the type of grief that this home got into after we lost your brother there. That city is merciless, full of political hooligans and cruel scoundrels. You know well how they took our Lucas to his early grave.

Dad suddenly interrupted tells out loud, “I can't lose another son again! You can't go there, Michael.” He tells in a weak tone.

“We love you, Michael, you can't go there, we can't afford to lose you.” They all jump into conclusion.

Jillian impatiently hugged Michael as she lets out, “Just look at Beatrice and Olivia. I beg you, don't give them that heartbreak and grief experience that they are actually not over with. Don't give them that hard experience again I beg you, Michael,” she mumbled weakly while Beatrice and Olivia run quickly and hugged him from behind.

And he realizes that if not for anything, then for Beatrice and Olivia, he has to go to Buffalo and bring justice to his dead brother.

It's already dark, Cherries knocked the door to Michael's room and shouted: “Dinner time my dear!

“I'll be with you guys soon,” he mentioned. It was a full house at the dining table, Mom was serving everyone the hot French fries and sausage on their plates as Michael suddenly arrives, immediately Olivia jumped and hugged him.

“How are you darling,” he said after giving her that brief smile as he put her back into her seat. It was a silent event as everyone was quiet while eating.

The alarming sound of a horn, makes Michael immediately noticed that the truck he sent to pick up his belongings from his office has arrived. He quickly stands up and mentioned, “Excuse me guys, I will be right back.

“Can I follow you, Mike?” Asks Olivia.

“Never mind darling.” He says as he walks fast towards the door. The driver of the truck is already unloading the items as Michael makes an effort in helping him unload “Well-done bro.” he tells.

It was shortly after Michael finished unloading the items fully and he mentioned “Take care bro,” as the truck driver waves and enters into the truck and start the car engine and drives away.

He grabs a folder file and his laptop bag with some of his boots and walks towards the entrance door. That was how he moved all the items inside and arranged them in the porch in a position that best suited them.

He enters the house walking directly towards the dining table area. He sat on his dining seat as he grabs his plate that is full of French fries and sausage as he starts to eat. “Where are we, Michael?” Dad inquired.

Michael raises up his head a little bit and replies “About what daddy?

“Oh come on, don't tell me you don't understand what I'm talking about", he says hastily. “I'm talking about the issue of your transfer to Buffalo, what is the stand now?

“Dad, I already told you earlier that this transfer order came from the director-general of police. It doesn't look like I have an option. By the way the officer there is just waiting for me to report as he already received his transfer orders as well.

Mom suddenly interrupted, “Michael, we all know you are an honest and hardworking officer of the law, this is the type of routine that lands your brother into his early grave at the hands of those evil political moguls in Buffalo, leaving behind this kid twins. You know well how merciless and brutal they can be towards anything that goes against their evil conspiracy. Your brother tries hard to stop them but to no avail, they are very powerful and influential and you know well that they have the backing of some top government personnel, and that makes them very hard to defeat. We all don't want you to face the same fate as our dear beloved Lucas.

Michael took a moment of silence as he said to them all “I'll be okay, I promise. And I will definitely make sure that my brother's legacy lives on.

“I will never die in those evil men's hands“ he added.

”Amen“ as they all let out the same time. ”When are you leaving“? As Dad mumbles weakly.

”Tomorrow.” Michael replies to him heartily.

It was a stunning morning, Michael wakes up to Mom holding a tray, on it, a cup full of latte and some toasted bread. “Good Morning,” she said and lowers the tray beside him, as she whispers “Breakfast in bed, better finish it all before I come back. I'll see you in a moment.” She walks away.

He chuckles as he grabs the cup of latte and takes a sip. The door to his room got banged opened, it was Beatrice and Olivia running playfully while they jumped to his bed, “Easy girls,” he says while adjusting himself.

The two girls adjust themselves at each of his sides and he smiles at them. “We’re going to miss you when you leave, Mike.” It was Olivia, he doesn’t know why she always calls him Mike, but he loves it so much to correct her of his name.

“Hope you’re not going to leave us forever as Daddy did?” Beatrice asks and he turns to face her while sipping his latte. And again for the second time, these girls makes it so hard for him not to take the revenge of his brother’s death. He will have to make sure justice is served.
