*knock*knock*knock* “I’m coming” Hank spoke as he groggily headed to open the door, half naked in his pants alone. The door opened to reveal none other than Michelle standing right before him, “Hank are you okay? I was calling all night long. I thought something happened to you last night, why didn’t you pick my calls?” “huh…” was Hank’s intelligent answer.
“what do you mean ‘huh’?” Michelle spoke up confused as to what her cousin meant Hank closed the door seeing as she was already in. “I mean… I just woke up with a serious hangover and have no idea what you are talking about?” hearing his answer Michelle looked at him carefully to see if she could spot anything that could give him away but he genuinely looked clueless as to what she was going on about.
Michelle let out a sigh and began recounting the events of the last night to her cousin, “what about you where did you go last night?” after she finished recounting the events of the previous night, she questioned Hank genuinely curious as to where he was. Hank went on to make up a story of him drinking one too many glasses and ending up back here.
She seemed to buy it as after making sure he was alright she left the manor. Hank kept his harmless smile as she watched him leave but changed back to his cold demeanor as she shut the door.
….
At Roland’s residence.
The place was now a crime scene, with yellow tapes all around and with police officers all around trying their hardest to figure out just what it was that happened here. Naa moved around the building analyzing the bullet holes in the wall as well as the dagger present, seeing what she saw, an image of what happened the night before formed in her head; the syndicate probably came over to reclaim what ever evidence that linked Roland to them and the vigilante had come over to interfere which caused a fight to ensue now the question was did the syndicate succeed or did the vigilante manage to stop them.

“found anything?” her partner came over drawing her out of her thoughts. “No. Whatever happened here were too late?” “ I wonder what happened here?” “so do I” saying so she took a good look at the commissioner. The commissioner had refused her when she asked to come here Immediately pushing it of till this morning which allowed for whatever happened to happen, she was now suspicious, was the commissioner with the syndicate? and if he was then how many more officers were bought? with that thought she began looking at everyone of the officers around her.
……..
At Thompson Enterprises
Hank stepped out of an elevator. Hank had spent his entire morning trying to open the laptop he had obtained the night before but to no avail, if it was just finding the password, he at least possessed some confidence in eventually cracking the damn thing but with the pc now riddled with bullets his confidence levels had dropped all the way to zero,
Just as it seemed all hope was lost, he remembered the guy he had been in brief contact with the last night, the guy seemed to mention working in an I.T department and even better it was none other tan his companies own I.T department.
Hank inquired about Ferdinand and was now heading straight for him,
Ferdinand on the other hand was seated in his corner office, his entire attention focused on the game he was playing. He just so happened to be playing a round of the popular battle royale game, Player Unknown Battle Grounds commonly known as PUBG.
Totally immersed in his pursuit for victory and snipping a person hiding behind a wall Ferdinand was completely unaware of his surroundings which is why he had no idea that Hank was standing right behind him *erhm*erhm* Hank released a cough which startled Ferdinand.

“Oh my God! Mr. Thompson sir, I was just erhm… I wasn’t playing games or anything you see I was…” Ferdinand began saying anything that popped in his head as he frantically tried to explain as he shut down the game in a flash. Hank chuckled at his antics, “calm down… I’m not your boss, well I am… but not the one in charge of making sure you are doing your Job” *whew* Ferdinand let out a sigh of relief “I did come here for a favor though…” Ferdinand began nodding his head furiously “sure Mr. Thompson, anything.”
“Please call me Hank… I was at the party last night when the gunshots went of and my laptop kind of took a few shots.” Hank brought out the laptop bringing it right in front of Ferdinand who took out his glasses and had a careful look at the laptop seeing the bullet holes he took another look Hank who still had a friendly smile on his face.
“if you don’t mind me asking, I didn’t see you bringing any laptop over that night…” “I had someone bring it over you know how it is I had something important to do. Can you fix it, I have some important files on it.” Ferdinand didn't seem to buy it but seeing as the one before him was his boss and he had just been caught playing games he was quick to agree nodding his head, “no worries sir I have it done in a day tops.”
“Thank you Ferdinand” Hank pat Ferdinand on his shoulder as he began to leave “I owe you one.” After he left Ferdinand took another look at the laptop his suspicion ever growing

8 221Knight and Smith
Secrets once thought lost are coming to light... Orin, a young thief turned mercenary, is returning to his home for the first time in four years. Orin wants nothing more than to reconnect with his family and settle down in the city he loves, but fate is fickle and has another destiny in mind for the swordsman. Now bound to the Princess of the Realm in ways he doesn't fully understand, Orin finds himself thrust into the world of Nobility, where no one can be truly trusted and his friends are few and far between. To ensure his survival, and that of the entire Kingdom, Orin must learn to harness the power of a Knight and work with the Princess Elora to protect those they both love, all while dealing with psychotic Knights, a mad King and Elora's own protectors.

There's nothing really original here, just something fun I wanted to explore a bit more. Chapters will be posted once a week on Sundays at five pm GMT. Thank you for reading and I hope that you enjoy Knight and Smith!

8 126Natural Slave
Those who are as different from other men as the soul from the body or man from beast are slaves by nature. For them it is better to be ruled in accordance with this sort of rule, if such is the case for the other things mentioned. It is not advantageous for one to be held in slavery who is not a natural slave, for such a condition is sustained solely by force and results in enmity. Not all slaves are in chains. Not all slaves even realize that they are slaves. What is the truth of this world? The Logos are the Words of God. Time waits for man.
8 189The Fire Within Can Be Scary
In a fantasy world similar to ours, magic worked similarly to physics, with each elemental spirit magic being tied to a state of matter. Earth is solid.Water is liquidAir is gas.Fire is plasma. Four elements, four states of matter. However in the ancient world of Hitarea, "Plasma" hadn't been discovered yet. The people of this world believe that only three states of matter existed, and thus, only three elemental magic could exist. For years, Earth, Water, and Air stood alone as the three main elements from which all others originated. Advanced arts like metal from earth, or Ice from water were only extensions of their original element . . . so what does that make Fire? Fire is powerful as the earth with its mighty explosions, flexible like water as it writhes around in the air, and swift like the wind. All at the same time. Fire, in regards to combat, is the most powerful element by far. This fearsome power is Alden's to master, but this power is a double-edged sword. One shouldn't play around with fire if you don't want to be burned. The fire within can be scary, you know?
