Chapter 13


    "Who are you?" Mark challenged as soon as he saw the strange officer. He walked up to them quickly


    and cut strands of hair from both of their hairs then he walked out quickly.

    The little ones were young and no matter how they struggle, they couldn''t stop the man from cutting


    their hair. They even chased after the man as he ran away but the man was fast in his dealing that he


    soon dissapeared out of their sight.


    "Jerk! What could he need our hair for?" Mark said, panting heavily before the house. They had just


    lost sight of the stranger.


    "See...aunt Samantha is on the floor," Michael called Mark''s attention.


    "Oh my god!" Mark screamed and quickly rushed to where the cellphone is, he immediately ced a


    call across to Katherine but Katherine''s phone was on silent as it''s a rule for those on duty to keep their


    phones on silent.


    Then he immediately dialed the second line and it answered. That was Derick''s number, "why are you


    calling?" Derick''s calm and cold voice came through. He knew it was the kids calling.


    "Aunt Samantha is down in the floor, a stranger walked in and cut our hairs, it might be the stranger


    that hurt aunt Samantha," Mark said fearfully into the phone.


    "Stay calm, I''ll be there in a jiffy," Derick said. Derick was at that time watching Alessio who was


    supervising the Grandwar masters''s training.


    Derick called him over and told him about the situation at home but that he will handle it himself. He


    entered a car parked nearby at once and drove to the Supreme building. He was stunned to see


    Samantha''s body in the floor.


    He ordered for a medical officer nearby to carry her at once to the medical center for treatment. Then


    his eyes set on Marie who curled his body together in fear. He walked towards her quickly and said,"


    hey, don''t be scared, okay?"


    "I''m very scared," Marie came out of her room a few minutes ago only to see an unconscious


    Samantha on the floor and her two brothers in chaos, also, their hairs had been messed as it was cut


    roughly.


    "Someone try to hurt us," Marie said.


    Whereas, the news of what happened in the building had reached Katherine, she left her duty post and


    ran at once to the Supreme building. She was however stunned to see Derick squatting before Marie.


    After Marie had said a few words, he even hugged her andforted her.


    "Mommy!" Her two boys jerked her off her thought and she immediately walked towards them, "are you


    fine?" Before her children could even answer, she saw how messed their hair was.


    "A strange man walked in and took our hair away," Mark reported quickly.


    Derick had also stood, he was holding Marie''s small hand with his big palm. He looked at Katherine


    who looked overly worked up and stressed.


    "Your hair?" She repeated. What would anyone need her children''s hair for.


    "I''ll find the stranger," Derick said and added, "Katherine, you requested a nanny for a reason, tell me, it


    may help me find whom the stranger is quicker."


    Katherine dismissed the kids from living room first of all and promised to be with them shortly then she


    sat and began," my ex husband came to me iming he wants to perform a DNA test on my kids to


    confirm if he was the father of my kid... I told him he isn''t their father and that DNA test isn''t necessary


    but he threatened that he would make sure he performed a DNA test, that was why I immediately


    employed a nanny for my kids."


    He thought over what she said and spoke, "Hair can be used to perform a DNA test too, could he be


    behind it?"


    Katherine reasoned over Derick''s words and nodded, "he could be." Or who else could have tried to cut


    her children''s hair?


    Derick nodded and spoke, "I''ll find the person who did this. But why don''t you want your ex husband to


    perform a DNA test on your kids? If you are not sure he''s not their father, why don''t you let him do the


    test to let go of all doubts? Or... Are you hiding something? Maybe he''s actually their father."


    "He''s not," Katherine bursted out and looked away ashamedly, she didn''t like how she shouted, it''s just


    that she didn''t wish for that cheat to be her children''s father. She didn''t want a DNA test to be done


    cause what if it turns out positive? That way, he can im the kids from her legally, never! That would


    never happen.


    Derick then stood, he nced at her and walked out of the room. Immediately, he informed Alessio


    about the situation. Actually, there is a secret camera in every building in the military base.


    Alessio got to work at once and found out the identity of the officer through the surveince camera in


    less than ten minutes. He immediately informed Derick who was still standing before the house, angry


    that an officer dared to burst into his house.


    "I found the person sir and I''ve ordered for his arrest," Alessio said.


    "Bring all officers to the central field and make that stranger kneel on the podium, I''ll be with you


    shortly." He ordered.


    Ten minutester, every officer in the base had gathered, they had also heard about the chaos in the


    Supreme''s building. Other officers were surprised to see that the strange officer who intruded into the


    Surgeon General''s house had been caught and had his hands tied to the back before everyone.


    Alessio walked up to the podiom and spoke, "officers, your most important trait in the military is..."


    "Loyalty," loud voices of the officers echoed like thunder.


    "Whoever betrays..."


    "Dies a brutal death," all of the one million officers responded to Alessio.


    "You are about to witness what happens to a betrayal," he said and took step back, he nodded slightly


    then the god of war stepped on the podium.


    Derrick looked at the strange officer who was backing him, he removed a dagger from his side at once


    and walked up to him, he ced the sharp dagger right to his throat and slit it, blood gushed out


    mercilessly.


    Most junior officers found this sight dreadful and almost closed their eyes but if caught, they will be


    punished severely so they watched the horrible scene before them.


    Derick didn''t stop until the man''s head was totally off his neck, he ruthlessly raised the bare head of the


    man up, the head had blood dripping from it.


    Then he spoke to the microphone, "if you are ready to loose your head before everyone just like this,


    then go against the rules."


    Then he dropped the head and turned, stepping out of the podium nobly.


    Alessio spoke a few more words and dismissed everyone.


    Donna had thought that Derick will question the strange officer about who sent him and she had her


    heart in her throat because of this. But to her surprise, Derick just went ahead to slit his throat.


    After Richard left Katherine''s office, he sent Donna feedback about his discussion with Katherine and


    she had promised him to get Katherine''s children hair. She was the one who sent the strange officer to


    get the kid''s hair. And the strange officer was able to deliver the hair to her before he was caught.


    Donna heaved a sigh of relief as she drank from her tea, she was now inside her building. At least, the


    only person who could implicate her is dead. But that was a narrow escape, she thought to herself.


    Then she ced a call across to Richard and once he answered, Donna spoke proudly, "I have the hair


    of the kids with me."


    "Wow! Bring it to me quick so I can get the DNA test done," he said.


    "I advise you get it done at Tamar Hospital, they have the best doctors there," she suggested.


    "Alright, bring it quick now," Ronald said.


    Donna smirked, she had a n.


    "Sure." She replied him and hung up.
