Chapter 38: Playing the same game as your enemy

"I am not your son. In fact you are dead to me," replied Michael as he looked at him.

Tabitha then said, "I see you still hate us. But we are your parents. And you brought your brother home. We are rebuilding the family."

"Look I have no interest in your family. Or to help you fight Caine," replied Michael to me.

Joseph swallowed and Tabitha then said, "I wondering when you would know."

"My brother and I are done with you two. So enjoy the show," replied Michael as Jasmine finished her performance.

"So why are we here then," asked a curious Joseph as they sat down.

Michael then said, "You schemed against me. You embezzled funds in Richard's name so I would come ask for your help.

But I have other plans. Like your daughter."

Michael raised his phone. It had a live feed of men punching her. As Joseph got angry the security got their guns.

Tabitha then asked, "What do you want?"

"I don't like the FBI knocking on my doors threatening my son. So I am tired of you breathing so I am declaring war on your empire.

The International Cartels is the least of your worries now. When you have nothing you will die get them out of here," replied Michael to him.

The security dragged Joseph out kicking and screaming. Tabitha starred at him a while before following the security guard out. With that we went back to watching the showcase. Meanwhile Jacqueline signed the documents and the men left.

Erwin, Director of CIA Antiterrorism Unit, then walked in and said, "Congratulations Your Majesty. You signed the death warrants of the Moore family. And now you will never see the light of day again.

Take her away."

Two marines then pulled her away. Irene then dropped a file in front of Donovan.

"I want a lawyer," replied Donovan to her.

"Well lawyering up only makes you look guilty. Now Richmond isn't going to say anything. But you on the other hand are in deep shit," replied Irene to him.

"You have nothing on me. And I am highly protected. You can't prove I laundered money and a shareholder of Reign Industrial Group is my father. I will be out in minutes," replied Donovan to her.

"I wish I could talk to your wife, ex-wife I stand corrected. But unfortunately her position in the Moore family gives her corporate lawyers and Billions to back her up. And Michael is not corporative with the cops. So that angle is gone.

But he did lead us to you guys. And I know you have been washing the Carlow Cartels cash in America. Now that right here is 15 years money laundering, 10 years aiding & abetting and 10 years for fraud.

You are looking at 35 years unless you help us. Tell us the names on the accounts of which cash is in or we take on your business," replied Irene to him.

Donovan then said, "I want a lawyer. You got nothing on me."

"Ok. I guess you leave me no choice. I will have to file an injunction that freezes your company accounts for 30 days. And from what I read in the Reign Towers contract. If the cheque bounces Moore Corporations owns the project.

And after your stunt and your law suit I doubt Michael will let you back into the project," replied Irene to him.

Donovan quickly said, "You can't do that!"

"Actually I can. It is in there with UN Security Council laws. And with the FBI as part of our taskforce getting it is easy. You see the Carlow Cartels have massive operations across the globe on four continents.

The deal: Cocaine, Marijuana, Heroine, Arms, Human Trafficking, Prostitution, Contract killing and counterfeit goods. With that they make billions. But they are a part of a secret Shadow Government made up of 24 powerful people scattered across the globe.

I know you represent their North American Chapter. Help us take them down or die," replied Irene to him

"Is that a treat," asked Donovan to her.

"I know Joseph he tends to butcher people who stole from him or jeopardizes his projects. We know there is an internal war in the International Cartels. People don't see him as a leader especially with Michael gunning for him.

So he needs the Reigns Towers to get money or he sinks. The problem is that if he goes down he is taking his organization with him," replied Irene to him.

Donovan then said, "Joseph is the king. No one can touch him. Michael is barking up a tree he can't chop it down."

"27 years ago Diana Rights had a fire in her heart to burn down the Carlow's. She supplied the DEA hardcore information. They built a taskforce with CIA, Interpol and MI-5

Joseph slaughtered the DEA taskforce, killed Diana and took out the 24 heads to cover up his International Cartels. The only reason Michael is breathing is became he bought his way out with a mountain of evidence that could end you guys.

Joseph has been eliminating people so Michael has less leverage on him. But Michael maintains a strong relationship with media houses globally. And now he has his own.

So he can easily put it out. Messing with him will end you people. But you already did that with this project and this morning he became immortal. And his showcase will push him globally. Now I can't arrest you.

But if you don't tell me anything I release you. And you are going to be in a body bag by tomorrow morning. Help me and you keep your business," replied Irene to him as she pushed a piece of paper to him.

"I can't help you. I want a lawyer," replied Donovan as tears fell from his eyes.

"Ok. Let me enlighten you. If you survived the odds and live to see two days from now. I will go after your ex-wife. Of course she won't talk to me. But I just need one person to back up my allegations of you beating your wife.

We are talking to friends, former neighbors, coworkers etc. Now put pressure on them, one will crack. Then I will get a court order to run a DNA test on Daemon and you. When it comes back that you are is father.

He is two years old and his mother is 16. Now the lawyers of Michael Moore will argue that she was scared and you were beating her and your background would threaten her. Now given the fact that dad is the Vice President and owner of a top law firm.

And the last time the cops arrested you the evidence and the witness magically disappeared. So selling it to the jury is easy. At best she is looking at a year of community service. And Michael owns the top rehabilitation program.

So she will be under his thumbs. Now you on the other hand will go to prison," replied Irene to him.

"Marie would never testify against me. Without her you have nothing," replied Donovan to her.

"If Marie testifies you are looking at 15/25 years. If she doesn't rape charges will give you seven years and you become a registered sex offender," replied Irene and Donovan said, "Bullshit! That will never work."

Irene then said, "Marie is 16 years old with a 2 year old son, now 16-2=14. That is below the age of consent.

So weather she testifies or not that is 7 years! And when you are the second most powerful man in America having a sex offender for a son is bad.

So at best daddy will disown you. Help me and we save you," replied Irene and he started writing.

Joseph and Tabitha then reached Jacqueline's home. As they did Mark Chang, their lawyer, was sitting on the house step.

He then said, "Joseph we have a problem. Interpol and the FBI are coming after you jointly."

"Yea! Michael is been talking to them. And I will shut him up," replied Joseph to him.

Mark then said, "On the contrary he was bait. They put pressure on him to talk but he didn't. But they got him to lead them to the money. And now they have a state witness against you,"

"Wow-wow! I don't follow anything you are saying," replied Tabitha to him.

"Ok! 27 years ago a few of the guys Santino got were CIA Mercenaries. Now our connections in NSA and the USA Government protect us. But they have been fishing. They got Santino's wife, to disappeared.

My sources now found her. She is the FBI lead Agent on the Taskforce as of yesterday," replied Mark to him.

Joseph then said, "That don't explain my son and Jacqueline going dark."

"Apparently FBI agents and Interpol Agent Irene grabbed your son and Donovan according to a neighbor. And Michael has additional security. But we got CCTV network showed men grabbing Jacqueline.

The way they moved they were spooks," replied Russel as he walked to them.

"Erwin and his boys are in town. Apparently they didn't die in Mexico three years ago thanks to Michael.

He has joined the NSA Anti-terrorism branch. So he probably grabbed her. And I got word from my CI in the FBI. Apparently Donovan is chatting to them," replied Mark to him.

"He doesn't know anything," Tabitha quickly told him.

Mark then quickly said, "Might I remind you that the USA Chapter of the Carlow Cartels launder money through 400 banks, 8 per state. And Donovan knows all of them as the Second in command of the USA Chapter.

And those accounts pay off people. They get the accounts and they can map your organization via the people we bribe. They go after them and Caine will send the Exterminators after you."

"So let's see. We have Erwin as the Director of the NSA Anti-terrorism branch. So he has an army. He has Jacqueline with 50 Billion and she will crack soon. Richmond been held by Interpol/FBI and Donovan as a snitch," replied Joseph to him.

"Michael is the least of your worries," replied Mark to him.

"Well played son," replied Joseph to him
