Dawn Of No Return—Book 1: The Secret's Night Mist

Chapter One 

Chapter Three Unseen guardians  Grey woke the next morning to find the lady still asleep. He prayed, folded the sheet he slept with, strolled to the bathroom to have his bath, then left the room to get breakfast for them both. Grey hated cooking, he delighted in fast meals, and just didn't see himself as the kind committed to sit in the kitchen waiting for food to be prepared...he could afford such patience at home. Grey saw officers at the scene where Emeka had been killed last night. A boy he didn't know, he had the privilege to know his name as he fell to his end. Grey wondered why it was usually so. Within, he praised himself for his bravery last night, wondered how Emeka had gotten the hole in his head, then he thought, it didn't really matter...the guy was a pervert. Grey bought breakfast from a woman he frequents to collect things from without paying, for she understood he wasn't working yet, and things were hard for him, she ha

Chapter Five Unfortunate incidents  At the start of Thursday morning, Grey had received a letter telling him to see YouTube videos on how to reload, and fix a sniper. He had watched himself to exhaustion, and slept through most parts of other videos that loaded themselves...thanks to the limitless WiFi the company provided for his home.However, he had learnt a few things, because he had seen himself practising in his sleep, Helen shouting again—again anytime he failed to pull the bolt handle fast enough. Helen kept to her promise that Thursday, engaging him in the discussion that had led to them meeting."I was invited to a friend's party at a club. It was one of Tatenda's friends. So many guys and babes, it was a rocker. The place was festive with good music. Tatenda didn't tell me she was leaving. Suddenly, things changed after she left, as did the music. I saw blood spray in the air, guys laughed. I was by a corner with

Chapter Seven More than a friend  The doorbell had never rung before, but this time it did, getting Grey's attention from bed. He rushed downstairs still with a sleepy face, aimed for the door, then opened it. There was a letter. Grey didn't bother checking if someone scaled the fence or walked through the gate to drop it, there were certain tricks he wasn't going to understand and he knew it. He got up to his room, dropped the letter on the bed and sort to do his morning devotion. When he was done, he tore open the letter:  Dear Mr. Garrett,  You're no longer authorized to speak to the watch. Thank you for the brief conversation last night. For your mission today, you're to head to the office, and wait till twelve in the afternoon. Once the time ticks, head to the airport in the first taxi that stops for you. When you arrive at the airport, shoot the driver, take the wide sheet a

Chapter Nine Axel Price  Grey had received a letter the next day telling him to wait at the airport. It was dark outside and almost about to rain. Grey sat in the Range when it began to drizzle. He wound the car windows up, put on some music to kill the silence, then sat still, observing. As far as he knew, he was still sick and wouldn't be reporting to work that day. He watched a plane land, roll a bit, and came to a stop. Someone stepped out in black, opened an umbrella, then a white man with dark shades and a crew haircut stepped out of the plane under the umbrella. He came out with a few other men in black carrying dark-green crates. There were Escalades waiting by the side of the plane, they stepped in, then drove off. Grey followed, keeping a considerable distance between him and the vehicles, following them through turns, and traffic till they got to a warehouse. Grey stopped across the road, watched them get in
