Wanted Here – Ch.4 | KT OLLA

MARCUZ couldn’t pick whose voice the talking don had. But it sounded to him like one of his professors.

Yes, he definitely knew someone who talked in that way. Someone who sounded exactly.

It was Jacques. The man they called “Time Bomb.”

The lad didn’t know he’d be meeting him twice in just 12 hours. It was like dying two times, he moaned.

Now a younger voice came up. The assaulted one spoke out from up the stairs.

“You ask what I am to go up against you all!

“Well, I am blood relative to Manuel Barnabas, one of those you murdered!

“I’m his cousin, Lucius. But Manuel was our family star! He was our only prospect and you killed him!

“You took away our family genius! You murdered my cousin just because you can!

“And here you are asking who I am to witness against y’all!”

Marcuz heard the speaker’s words, but it was the names that rang a bell. The names that he mentioned felt familiar.

He thought he’d seen “Manuel Barnabas” and “Lucius” somewhere lately. Yet he wasn’t sure where he’d come across the two.

So he stayed still and listened to pick details.

Lucius continued to talk in that meanwhile.

“See, Manuel was a sensible human! But he chose Cannon to study... and that was his downfall!

“Didn’t you people claim you groom prodigies like him? You say you admit genius minds like him… but why did you end this one?

“Why did you end Manuel Barnabas? He was our only genius!”

Jacques scoffed and paused.

Then he asked, “Ain’t you talking of Barnabas of the class of 2020? Isn’t that your relative?”

“Yes that’s my only cousin! And my hero, professor!”

Jacques laughed. “Now did you say we ended him?

“The last time I checked – I think that was this morning, he was still where we put him.

“We gave him and other guys like him their first class...

“Did he get angry and throw away the paper? Wasn’t it that piece of card he worked his smart butt for?

“I’m sure he mustn’t say we ended him! That’s after we made him top student! Don’t tell me your cousin’s that dumb!”

“Well, that’s the point, professor!” picked Lucius. “You all made him the dumbest zombie to ever walk earth! 

“Cannon murdered Manuel Barnabas, the same way you killed June Martinez!

“You murdered the only prodigy that our family has...

“And you want me to keep shut on the psychomicide case? No I won’t!”

The puzzle bits of the situation came to form in Marcuz’s mind. He connected the pixels and quickly saw what this was about.

He realized that the young talker was the new witness on the Cannon case. He’d seen the name on the news article he opened earlier in time. And he was just able to recall it.

Now he knew what kind of dangerous ground he was on.

He tried to bolt now. Real fast.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...
