After the death of Peruzad and his father Mike returned back to the agency and he was given a presidential award.

He was respected more in the agency for his bravery act against Peruzad even highly ranked Agents from another city hold him in high esteem.

Mike decided he should take some months off from work but he need the chief’s permission first.

He left his office and went to the chief’s office and he was invited in.

” Oh, Agent Hawk…. please sit down” the chief said.

” Yes sir, I wanted to ask for your approval ” he replied as he sat down.

” Actually I was just about to send someone to call you……. there’s something I need to tell you” the chief said.

” What’s is it?” Mike asked.

” It’s alright, you first……..what do you need my approval for?” The chief asked.

” I was hoping I could take some months off and regain myself, I really need to relax my mind” Mike said.

” Oh, I really think you do deserve it for what you went through, but what I also wanted to say counter that” the chief said.

” What is it you wanted to tell me?” Mike asked.

” I know you must’ve heard about the Hollyhood in silver City” the chief informed.

” Yeah, I heard” Mike replied.

” They really need your help in that place, I heard according to your response before……..”

” Peruzad’s situation was the reason you refused, now that Peruzad has been eliminated….”

” do you think you’re up for that?….. remember, it’s not an order, it’s a request so you have a choice” the chief said.

” Isn’t there anyone you can send over there?…or perhaps Agent Raven” Mike said.

” They specifically asked for you because they believe a man of your calibre is right for the job”

” You action against Peruzad and his men gave them the assurance and confident that you are capable for it” the chief said.

” I’ll think about it Sir………do I have your leave approval?” Mike asked.

” Take as much rest as you need….you deserved it” the said said.

” Thank you Sir” Mike replied then he went out of his office.

The Rolland families are all dressed waiting for a special guest to arrive and you could smell the aroma of sweet delicacy filled the house.

The girls are preparing the table while Desmond and his son Jeff were playing video games then the door bell rings.

” Wow, he’s early” Mercy muttered checking the time.

” Jeff, can you stand up from there and invite him in?” Mercy added.

” Hold on, let me kill Dad first” Jeff replied as he tapped the joystick vigorously.

” Heyyy, watch your mouth………we are just playing games, you don’t say that to your father” Desmond said jokingly.

” I don’t actually mean you……I mean your avatar in the game” Jeff replied as they keep tapping on the pad.

” If I you make me come over there……you won’t like what I’ll do to you” Mercy said glaring at him.

” Ughhh, the women in this house are frustrating me” Jeff said pausing the game and turned to his father.

” Dad, how do you even cope with this women anyways?” He asked heading to the door.

” Believe me boy, that’s the question I keep asking myself” Desmond replied.

” Dad, this is your fault…..you gave him the chance” Mercy said.

” Eeeyyy, how is that my fault?…… please I’m innocent in this matter, don’t rope me”
.
Jeffrey reached the door then he opened it and his eyes bulged out when he saw Mike.

” Daaddd, it’s Mike” he shouted as he jumped to hug him.

” Heyy little Man” Mike said as he hugged him tightly.

” Wow, you’ve grown taller since I last saw you” Mike said.

” Yeah, that was two years ago…..since you refused to come home” he said.

” Oh c’mon, you know the nature of my job” Mike replied.

” Well well well, look who the wind brought in” Mercy said smiling as she came out to meet him.

” Hi troublesome” Mike said and she frowned her face.

” Heey, show some respect I’m still your elder sister ”

” Fine sorry” he apologized.

” come here idiot” Mike said as she hugged him.

” Wow, You look beautiful” Mike said complimenting her.

” Yeah yeah, I know that ” she replied sarcastically as they went to the living room where his father is.

” Oh My beautiful boy is finally home” Jane said excitedly as she rushed to hug him tightly.

” Hi moma”

” I’ve missed you so much”

” Me too moma” he replied as they disengaged.

” Welcome back” Jane said.

” Hi dad” Mike said as he went to meet his father.

” Congratulations on your successful mission” Desmond congratulated as he sat beside him.

” Thanks dad, but I couldn’t have done it without your help” Mike said.

” So he’s gone?” Desmond asked.

” Threat eliminated” he replied.

” Good” Desmond replied.

” I knew you hate me that much…..you don’t even care to ask of me” Mike heard from behind them turned to see Goodness.

” Big sis” he said and went to hug her.

” Don’t you dare play such prank again…..you know I’m the only one who happens to care about your welfare” she said.

” Heyy, what about me?…….I care too” Jane protested.

” Fine, whatever happens I’ll call you first……..that is while you’re my favorite sister” Mike said.

” That’s not cool Mike……what about me?” Mercy also said.

” You will always be my troublesome sis…..that award goes to you” Mike replied smiling.

” Imbe¢ile” she muttered.

” Mom, I can perceive the aroma of a delicious food…….and I noticed You’re all dressed……is it because of me?” Mike asked.

” You really think highly of yourself, who do you think you’re?…..the president?” Mercy replied glaring at him.

” If it’s not for me then who?” Mike asked.

” Mercy’s boyfriend is coming over” Goodness said smiling and Mike burst into laughter and Mercy glare more angrily.

” I’m sorry…..I just find it hard to process, Mercy, you actually have a boyfriend?” Mike said still laughing.

” Why is that so hard to believe?” Mercy replied.

” I actually want to know how it happened, did he woo you or you went to him…..who toast who?” Mike said smiling.

” You made it sounds like I’m a bad person, you made it sounds like I’m not capable of having one”

” nothing is impossible even Dad got married” Mercy said and Desmond quickly turned to her.

” What’s that’s supposed to mean?” Desmond asked.

” Nothing Dad” she replied.

” Did you pay him to act as your boyfriend”

” Okay guys, drop it already……. stop teasing her……..her boyfriend and that’s final” Jane said then the door bell rang.

” That should be him, Jeff….. go invite him in” Jane said and Jeff went to the door and opened it.

” Hi” Jeff said to the young man standing at the entrance.

” Hi, little one” he said to him and Jeff frowned his face.

” You know for starters if you want to be with my sister you have to show respect to every member of this family”

” Regardless of their age or status, we won’t entertainment any disrespect from someone like you” Jeff said and the boy was shocked to hear him.

” Don’t just look at me….. apologize now” Jeff said.

” Shut up Jeff…..go back inside before I clip that mouth of yours…..spoilt brat” Mercy said to him.

” We are not done you and I” he replied then went back inside.

” Please don’t mind him….. he’s just like that, come in…..we are all waiting for you” Mercy invited him in.

They went inside and he greeted everyone in the family, he introduced himself as Jacob and they all sat round the dinning table.

” So tell me Jacob….what do you do?” Jane asked.

” I’m a reporter” Jacob replied.

” Oh that explains it” Goodness muttered.

” I just have one question for you…..how did you two meet?…….did you go to her or she came to you?” Mike asked.

” MIKE ” Mercy said frowning at him.

” What?…. it’s just a question” Mike replied.

” Don’t mind him……. he’s like an annoying boil” Mercy said.

” What do you like about my daughter?” Jane asked and he smiled warmly.

” She’s the most interesting person I’ve ever met, she’s caring, loving…I love her confidence”

” She’s gentle, peaceful and also kind” he said dreamily and Mike and other burst into laughter except Mercy, Desmond and Jane.

Jacob have a confusing look on his face wondering what he said wrong.

” Not cool guys, so not cool” Jane said and Mercy only glare at them.

” I’m sorry, did I say anything funny?” Jacob asked.

” Don’t mind them Jacob, just ignore them” Mercy said then turned to Desmond who focused more on eating.

” Dad, you’re not saying anything” Mercy said to him and he stopped eating and clean his mouth.

” Okay Jacob”

” Yes sir”

” Have you ever kill anyone before?” Desmond asked and he was shocked then turned to Mercy.

” I..I don’t… understand sir…. I’ve never killed before and I’ll never do that” Jacob replied nervously.

” If your family is being assaulted, what will you do?” He asked again which only got him more confused.

” I’ll call the police” Jacob replied.

” And if the police didn’t arrive on time?” He asked again.

” Then I’ll have to protect my family even if it means getting hurt” Jacob replied.

” Not good enough, to be a good partner…..you need to make sure no harm come to your family”

” You need to defend your family at all cost and that’s how it should be” Desmond said.

” Okay Sir” he replied.

” Good then you should be ready to kill someone very soon” Desmond said.

” What?” He shouted.

” Don’t mind him, he’s only joking” Goodness assured him.
