The Final Reconciliation

“You can’t keep doing this Lucas, it’s high time you pulled yourself together and put an end…” Liam paused, to see if his friend was listening to him.

Of course, Lucas paid no form of attention to his friend. He had only arrived in New York City a few days ago and was so thrilled about the next stunt he was about to pull off.

Liam went closer to his friend and gave him a gentle tap on the back.

The room was quiet for a few seconds.

“This is not the time for this Liam”,  Lucas spat out as he turned around to face his friend.

“It's been over five years Lucas”....

“I know it's been over five years. I was aware before I decided to embark on this journey, Laim, and I don't think I need you to remind me of that!” Lucas fired back.

“Five years of pain, five years living in betrayal, five years of plotting my revenge and I don't think I would be backing out now”

“You told me we were coming down to New York for business, Liam tried to cut in.

“Yes! This is the business and you would help me accomplish what I came here for” Liam, you are my friend!

Liam looked at his friend in a state of confusion. He couldn't believe everything his friend had told him earlier. He couldn't believe he had come down to New York City to help his friend carry out his callous plans.

Lucas paced about the room while his friend just stood there and watched him in disarray.

He seemed anxious, like he knew something was about to happen. He paused, took a glance at his wristwatch and continued pacing about the room.

“Are we waiting for someone?” Liam asked as he took a glance at his own wristwatch.

“Oh yes, my friend” As a matter of fact, in three, two, one….

There was a bang on the door. Lucas looked up and gave a wicked smirk.

“Come on, Liam. Go and open the door”. Lucas said to his friend as he sat by the edge of the bed.

Lucas reluctantly went to the door, turned his head to give his friend a suspicious look as he slowly opened the door.

“What the heck!” Liam screamed, as a lady rolled right immediately into the room. Two men dressed in all black came in right after. They both wore dark shades as well.

The lady was blind folded, with her hands tied behind her. She struggled to stand up as she also tried to catch her breath.

“What is the meaning of this!” Liam fired at his friend as he could believe what he had just seen.

“You are now a kidnapp…”

“Oh please! Liam, it's part of the business” Lucas cut his friend before he could complete his statement.

Right immediately, the lady on the floor begins to yell.

“Who is the coward?” Take these blindfolds off and I would spit on your face!
