You have a point there tho. But I can only be dedicated when I see the response from the readers.
You know what kept me running when I was posting ALL IN A CIRCLE? The comments.
Not just the you are the bomb comment or you are the grenade, but the differences in preferences of the readers. As early as chapter 6, some people wanted Rachel dead, some wanted her to live. By the time we got to the 16-17th chapter, no one wanted her dead again, cos she has given birth. And when no one was expecting phew! I took her life.
While some people wanted Clement to succeed, some loved the personality and charisma in the character, Kelvin(Danger-kelv)
I believe you understand my point. That time, mere reading comments from some people with different thought, I will just start typing and in 30mins, I will drop two updates.
And I won't forget the relentless efforts of Tecno4life. Jeez! Even though he was guilty of derailing the thread, I sometimes enjoy his posts.
All the above is absent in this story.
If you followed my other story; THE THOMAS. When I started, I was dropping an update or more per week, later, I switched to an update per day, then came two readers who will spend hours arguing and debating the turn of event in the story. Mere reading their argument, I will just pick up my phone and start typing.
I can't motivate myself, I can't be dedicated to something that I can't place. If the readers started commenting regularly, I will definitely update regularly.
During ALL IN A CIRCLE, waking up in the morning, I open the thread to see the comments first, cos I knew there would be at least fifteen comments, with this story, I have gone three days without opening the thread.
My dedication is up to you guys!
Jeez! This is almost the size of an update.
Dee, u right here. That's why even me gave up on d literature section and story writing.

Am loving the discussion, argument and the comments. Keep them coming.
Updates drops any moment frm 1:30pm.
Shebarh: This is what has been missing since the start of the story. Everyone seemed to be thinking in the same direction(Mark and Tina being siblings) but now, Galaxdiva don drag Clara in...
As a writer, I will want to work harder and take dem guys on an unexpected ride.
If things continue like this, believe me, we could have 5-6 updates per day.

Margaret is Mark's sister.
Daniel and Tina will get married, Adeola would be mad with fury, hence she decided to inflicit pains on them.
Collins would give a helping hand by implicating Tina in the office.
Kim would sorrowfully return to the states.
Chris won't be comfortable with Daniel, he would have loved Mark to be the one.

--continuation--
It is in human nature for proactiveness to set in in times of trouble. Frustration brings about proactiveness, and in the case of being consistently proactive with no result to show for it, frustration sets in. Suffice to say, frustration and proactiveness walk hand in hand.
Mark in the last three minutes had entered every room inside the N.A.T.U building. Even though he claimed to be one of the few strong hearted men ever created by God, he had to put the strong heart behind him and face the task at hand.
For the upteenth time he walked into the gas exchange room is similar to a ventilation system, the only difference being that, the gas exchange system powers the ventilation system through the use of petroleum gas. There were four giant tanks in the room where the gas was compressed and exchanged, until it is ready for release. The bomb was firmly locked unto the fourth tank and a number of anti-bomb squad depertment at the N.A.T.U who also renders the same service to the neighbouring SSS(state security service) who were just a few blocks away.
"Any chances that we might stop the bomb from detonating before the time elapsed?" Mark asked the leader of the squad.
"We can't stop the bomb." The squad number one man replied.
"How do you mean? Mark asked.
"Its simple." The anti-bomb squad leader replied. "The best thing for now is evacuation in full stead. Am sure evacuation processes began already."
"Yeah! Ninety percent of the people here are out already, but those in the medical wing who need urgent medical assistance. Those on life support, we can't just evacuate them." Mark replied.
"Take risks. Mark, life is a risk. Take them out first, if by the time you get the outside the bomb goes off. It is a credit to your name that no lives were lost. And you know what to do once they are outside, get medical help and transport them to nearby hospitals."
"Good idea. How long do we have?" Mark asked.
"Three minutes."
"Okay. Am off." With this, Mark sped out of the gas exchange system, holding firmly to his left ear, the communication device.
"Agent Mark. I need help in the medical wing."
"Mark." A familiar voice called.
"Hey! Angela." Mark replied.
"What's going on? Why are you evacuating everybody?"
"A bomb goes off in three minutes." Mark replied.
"Oh my God!" Angela exclaimed fearfully. "What do we do now? Evacuate?"
"You are right." Mark said running into the closest ward.
"but..."
"No buts Angela. I need extra hand. Get those on wheelchair out of here as soon as you can." Mark insturcted. "I'll wheel the sick beds out."
"What about those on life support? Those in the Intensive care?"
"Do as I say Angela. Where are the other doctors and nurses?" Mark asked loudly.
"Here sir." The head of the N.A.T.U medic replied.
"Lets get this done. Which way is the ICU?" He asked.
"Go into the next room. The right door connects with the common room, the door on the left leads to the ICU. We have two patients there." Angela explained.
"Good." Mark made to leave the ward with a determination that he was going to pull out the two patients in the Intensive care.
------------
Mark checked his wristwatch for the 100th time in the last one minute as he tried to unplug the life support device from the patients or unplug the device from its power source. None of which seemed to be working as he wasn't conversant with machines used in the medical field.
"Mark, you have twenty five seconds." A familiar voice said.
"I need to save these two patients." Mark replied. This time, he was covered in sweats. The thought of having twenty five seonds left to save the lives of two sick patients was disturbing. Also, saving the lives of the two patients means saving his own life two. But in every situation, there is a solution. Which is, he could ignore the twenty five seconds and leave the two patients, meaning the patients will die when the bomb detonates and he if lucky would be saved, but if he spends a little above twenty five seconds trying to exit the building, he is likely to suffer the same fate.
"What about these?" Mark asked pointing to the two lifeless patients.
"There is nothing you can do about them. Wheel them out, they are going to die, cos the life saver would be unplugged. So, you are not really saving their lives. We have fifteen seconds left. We could be out if five seconds if we took the fire escape."
"Fine, lets get out." Mark said leading the way out.
Collins took a last look at the patients, particularly, the female one and threw a small book at her.
-------
"Here they are." Everyone started clapping, just when Tina drove in recklessly.
"Mark! Where's Chris?"
And immediately, the bomb went off.
