Hard to find.

"I was so sure he would be in the closet", Jhonny said so disappointed.
"Hey man, he's not here, get over it lets go... NOW!"
Then both men left the office and ran down the corridor to the stairs inside.
Thomas McBerg was in that room, he was in that office sitting under an office desk with the chair rolled up against him so tight that he almost couldn't breathe. He thought it wouldn't work, he thought first of running through the door, then he saw the closet, and for a fat chance he saw the desk. So he took that chance to hide under it like a cockraoch. He rolled the chair gently away from his body, and crawled from under the desk. He carefully tried to make no noise when he climbed out the window onto the firescape. Instead of going down, he thought that both of them would think he would run down and on to the streets. He was yet again taking a huge risk going up and to his office.
Thomas thought about why anyone would try to kill him. Then he remembered the converstation with his sister. He remembered that the operation was a succeed. So many people don't wan't the McBerg familiy to succeed and especially those rotten forsaken Twins.
He wen't to his office, and to his desk. He opened one drawer and picked up a tiny black book. He put it into his pocket and went outside the office. He knew away out.

Makhai was pissed as hell when he heard the tone in the phone being hung up on. He shook his head and said to himself: "If she only knew, I bet she would be crawling on her four feet up to me with mercy. But that day hasn't come yet..... if she only knew"
Makhai grapped his coat and hat and stormed out of his appartment. The search was on for the stupid brother of Ingrid McBerg.

Martha Devlin was a person on a mission. She became a spokesperson for the Cossoppulus company in south Africa. Her job was to find those opposed to the firm, and "talk" them into love and respect for it. She had such a nice smile on her face always. So nice that your jaws would hurt just by watching her. She was being watched on the televsion in a shabby hotel room in Johannesburg one night. She promised so much benefits and happyness for everyone.
"Lies.... lies.... lies.. all bunch of lies"
"You think she takes her horns and tail off when she goes to sleep?"
"No, and probably is abusing the trifork!"
"Makes me sick."
"Turn it off, I can't watch no more"
"I'm going to sleep now"
"Ok dear, goodnight"
"You ain't coming to bed honey?"
"I can't... so much to think about. Gotta find sense of it all and make a few phonecalls"
"Ok hun, goodnight."
"Goodnight."

Coming out of the closet!

Ingrid McBerg was very scared about her brother so she dialled the one number she knew would save him. The phone was ringing, and a snake-like voice appeard on the other side.
"Hello Ingrid", the deep whispering voice said.
Ingrid took a big gasp of air before she spoke.
"Makhai, is that really you?"
"It is me my dear"
"I have a job for you, it is very, very urgent."
Makhai didn't hesitate to answer: "It's your stupid brother again isn't it?"
"Yes, I think they've tried to kill him this time"
"They?, who are they Ingrid?"
"The Twins. I think they know about the operation"
"Yeah, and I'm not surprised. Ever since your father laid his eyes upon that land, he was obsessed about it."
"Don't you talk foolishly about my father Makhai. You know well he cared about it as much as I did. And as promised it will bring us happiness forever."
"Ingrid! You're not saying that the operation wen't as planned?"
"Of course it did, and ever since my father dissappeard last year, I've worked hard not just trying to find him, but to carry his legend on."
"And you're blaming me not finding him Ingrid?"
"Of course I am. If you werent so lazy you would have found him by now"
"But I haven't been in contact with my s..."
Ingrid was furious that Makhai even dared to speak to her like that. She creamed at him:
"FIND MY BROTHER AT ONCE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!"
Then, she slammed the phone shut.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas McBerg heard the voices of those two men who tried to kill him. One of the spoke, and he heard most of it: "Maybe he wen't that way.... HEY Jhonny come on.. he can't have gone too far." The other man spoke as well, he heard everything he said because he was standing right next to him: "I think he didn't go anywhere.. I think he's right here in this room."
"What the hell are you talking about man, there is nothing here"
"what about the closet behind the door?"
"Well, ok, lets check it out, and if he isn't there then fuck that shit"
The other man went to the closet, and with his hand stretched out he turned the handle on the closet door, then he swung the door open and pointed immediately the gun inside. Jhonny saw something he didn't like to see. Nothing....

to be continued.

The long day ahead!

Thomas McBerg was sitting in his office when the phone rang. "Driiing". "Driiing". He knew who was on the other side of the line. He knew what would wait for him today, and he knew he didn't wanna do it. He would rather be sitting in his office all day, and think about her.

"Hello", Thomas said.
"Thomas?" was the response from a woman who's voice was shaky.
"Ingrid, is it really you?", Thomas replied.
"Yes, it is me who calls you on this perfect day. They found it, they struck the motherload."
Thomas thought about what that would mean for the family. If this is true what she is saying, then he didn't need to worry no more.
"That is so nice to hear Ingrid" Thomas was almost crying.
"You know that this all comes with a price?"
"A price?!" Thomas replied.
"Yes, the price of being marked for life"
"I didn't think about it until you said it. Of course we're going to be marked. Of course the eyes will be on us forever."
"You are willing to risk it for the good life?" Ingrid noticed his voice was whispering.
"I have to call you back Ingrid!" He hook up the phone and went straight out of the window of his office. 2 black clothed guys stormed into the office at once, and Thomas was flying down the firestairs. He didn't think about it twice but left straight as he saw the shadows in the glass in his office doors. He ran so fast he almost fell over the side. Then he heard two gunshots fired from up above. He halted creeping besides the wall. Then he jumped inside of an open window. He heard the two guys run down the firestairs. Thomas saw the door ahead of him in an unknown office 5 floors below his office. He thougth quickly and opend the door. When the other guys came down, and looked inside the office window, Thomas McBerg was nowhere to be found.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingrid McBerg was on the other side of the phone really scared about her older brother. She didn't know anything what had happened. She only heard him yell that he would call her back and hung up the phone. She suspected the Twins right away. She was dialing a number in a panic. Only he could help her out of this mess.
