Ch. 23 - Marked

The girls would all arrive together, and would arrive soon, and with thanks to rose, the staff would all be female attending to them, as they led them in and made sure Rose was firstly helped.

"Where Is mother?" She asked.

"With the king, Jack, as well Joker. Sorry ma'am., but you and the other ladies must head up to your floor... this isn't a request, but a demand of the Queen." The head officer told her.

"Fine..." Rose said looking back at Sarah.

Much later, the four heads would be together while Ace was on a screen. Bringing all five at once in one room. But Drake clearly unconscious and barly givin medical attention in his state with the white haired woman as a guest also laying about.

"Just what the hell is happening... and why isn't she killed yet?" King asked.

Queen spoke up. "Mickie, and the new Jack said, he was holding her... is safe to assume our good boy here has something going on... she is not to be killed." Queen firmly pointed out.

King was frustrated. Annoyed by the illogical thought.

"I pulled up some footage, and comparing the clothing, yeah, she is the same attacker... I can't imagine she just guess where his home was King... it would best to keep her alive..." ace mentioned also agreeing not to kill.

"You think I don't know that, obviously something Is up... and after doing some of my own digging, this white hair bitch is a. Assassin or some sort of merc, she don't got a lot of records, I imagine, she was raised that way....." King would then think.

"Let him decide..." jack said speaking up. "Dra- I mean Joker here... he fought back. And it seemed like a draw in the end... but something tells me, he has his own plans for her... so I say we treat here. We would also gain on what is going on." Jack explained his own point of view on this.

"Alright... agreed, Mickie, see to it they both make a recovery on this." King said.

Queen would then get a text from her daughter. "That child..." she sighed. "She came, like I wanted... but seems like she also brought the other girls he's mating with. And his sister!" She panicked.

"Fuck me..." King sighed. "Alright... bring them down, but hide that one... I'm sure they wouldn't like seeing who attacked him also getting treatment. Dammit..." King knew Drake wouldn't like this.

Queen nodded, giving the girls permission to come down later. "I stalled some time... to wait until his in better shape at least..."

"Mmmm" Drake softly voiced. As he opened his eyes mid stitching, and around the people. "I'm alive?" He asked staring at a light.

"Yup... now don't move Kid." King said to him. "You got some explaining."

"Whatever...." Drake closed his eyes.

King sighed in relief. "Punkass..."

Opening his eyed again, he asked. "Where the woman?"

"If you mean your attacker... here... next in bed actually... she's getting treatment now relax..." Mickie said.

King walked up and so did queen. "You got some explaining."

"Not now... tired," then after an a second. "Is my sister safe back at the house?"

Queen then added. "Actually, she's here... with the other girls, my daughter seems to have brought them." She said before sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing her hand along his head.

Drake sighed, and relaxed, just basking in the feeling of her hand. "That's fine, the woman who attacked me, was her... but I've made up my mind to forgive her... in our little fight, I got a good idea about her... look, let me handle things with her, just don't let her die." Drake asked, before closing his eyes.

"That's more complicated than you think." King said.

"Don't care... I'll figuer it out." Drake said.

"Haha, still a tough guy." Queen smiled and got up. "You heard him... seems like her fate is now in the young man's hands... why don't we get things cleaned up, we can't just focus our priorities here. Our streets need be cleaned up and the trash has to be cleaned.

King, while his authority, should have been absolute, he only agreed knowing himself also, there were other things in need of his attention.

Jack, Queen and King left, and later so did Mickie once he finished treating them.

It would be another hour before Noelle would wake up. She felt light, and still so sluggish after all that happened. "How am I alive?" She asked, slowly looking around. "Where am i?"

"At my clans home... or rather... headquarters... of The Empire." Drake said to her.

"Drake?!" She slowly tried to sit up.

"Don't move... just lay there... my people bandages and stitched us, so stay still a while. Can you tell me... where is he." He asked.

She did as suggested, and when asked. She was laying down, and answered. "I see you are highly intelligent... I'm assuming, your asking, of your father... the one who hired your hit... he is in another county, and to cut to the chase, yes... I was ordered to capture you, not really kill, unless it was really necessary."

"I see... thanks for your truthfulness... now, I'll offer you something better than money... I'd like your help." He asked.

"With his murder?" She asked.

"Something like that... I'll be the one to kill him... and all those who aid him... but listen, what I'm offering, is freedom, I'm sure your sick of it... killing, kidnapping, and all in between. All of it, so allow me to set you free some this underworld of hell..." Drake sat up, and turned his head to face her. "I'm not free myself just yet... but here at least I can provide a start... thought. The price... will be a little more dirty work... only for me and me alone this time."

She thought on it. "As good as that is... freedom isn't something I want... I just want to sleep. I want to be with my family again... more than anything this life of mine has just being a passing of time... a long joy ride that I have yet to stop being a part of." She admitted. "I don't care of freedom, and truthfully I could have had that, so tell me what you really want from me... to me it sounds like I should work for you... but that doesn't bad..."

"Your not wrong. But not all right either. I don't mean just a genetic freedom, just stopping from this life of yours... because face it... we both aren't dying so easily. I mean... you'll be done with this part of it. You'll be free to do anything else. I can provide you, with a life your family wants for you... I'm sure you want to just die, but I know your family wouldn't want that... I know my sister wouldn't if I suddenly lost her or anyone else... they wouldn't want me to pass on... they'd want me to live a life I can die happy and accomplished. So take this step forward with me. To enter a new Era of our lives." Drake offered her something she long tossed away.

A chance at a new life.

"It's not right..." she then thought. 'I've had to ruin so many lives. I've taken them too. And he... he still bestows onto me forgiveness and a fresh start after I tried to do the same to him!' She covered her eyes in her arm. "I cant..." she whimpered.

Drake could hear the sorrow and torn in her voice. "If anything else... let me join you in hell... where you won't be alone no matter what fate has in store for us... so please... come to my side. And I'll do all I can in my power to protect and provide for you..." Drake couldn't understand why he was trying to help her. One could definitely say it was his type, but no. It was far more simple. Drake's nature. Was simple amd far more pure. To help heal. He himself knew pain, he knew sorrow, many of his secrets and his past was kept hidden from a handful of people. Anne, Marlene, his boss of his part-time and the teacher of his sister. And even Sarah. These hidden truths about him would be coming to light. But it wasn't like he tries to hide them. He was careful.

As his name, his social status out there. There was complications now rising. The chief of police. Marlene's father, would start a somewhat obliterated man hunt. Even though it was conflicting with his nature as a father for both him and his daughter, he would have people out there looking for him. He had leads of course. But as far as he knew, right now the empire, that notorious gang was untouchable. So he couldn't just walk to their building and search.

And because of Drake's father, many formal gangsters, would start leaving the country to join him in the grand killing of his son.

It was because of Drake after all many of the streets were cleaned. There was no blood he wouldn't shed if it meant to protect his people.

Life would only get more dangerous, they're didn't seem to be an end to any of it, now that this jump began for him. Drake knew one thing, now that people can put a name to a face and link the tattoo he was trying hard to hide, back to him. No place was safe. He would be on the run. He couldn't clear his name. He has killed before, he has done illegal things. If the police get to him, he would locked up a while if not forever. He couldn't let that happen. If he tried to leave now, many former gangsters and thugs knew his name, and now face. He would only get ambushed to no end until his death.

Peace was no longer a viable option. That nine months he spent trying to change was now wasted.

Deep within Drake's heart was anguish and sorrow. He couldn't think of a far more pathetic state for himself than now.

That was. Until he finally realized who he was. He was Joker. The Empire's card to play. It was all he knew off. He was the one person who can put things back into place. And there no line he would not cross to make sure of it.

"I'm gonna need your help... will you join me?" Drake asked. Sat up, looking at the woman who assaulted him.

"As long as you can keep your promise... then yes... I'll do what I can." She had agreed, and from that moment she choose to make the first step in a new direction.

"Thank you." Drake would then set the problems before him aside. Then have a thought. 'Sarah...' he would have to talk with her. She was a child. But, nor one he couldn't keep secrets from anymore. After his assumptions yesterday, and now learning info today. He decide it was time to tell her about the danger she was in. Not exactly everything, like what he was forced and had to do growing up. Just, the danger she was in.

It would only be some hours after he was finally resting, that the other girls would come down. However, they noticed another bed was in use and covered by curtains, only the focus was more for Drake. Though Alex had an idea immediately and her emotions were very unsure but held back on acting.

The girls would gather around Drake's bed and Sarah was behind Marline holding her dress tightly.

"How are you feeling?" Marlene asked him first.

"Your not too hurt are you?" Anne asked concerned also.

"Want anything to eat?" Rose asked.

"Oh please ladies, this punk isn't some stranger to danger, Rose you should know that..." Alex spoke up trying to clear up the sad air of his situation. "He's alright look at him, he's sitting up."

"Uh, yeah but..." Anne said still worked. "He's still covered in bruises and are those gun shot wounds?" She asked noticing some of the bandages on him were different.

Sarah whimpered hearing that. "Brother..." she peaked behind Marlene. Although she wanted to look at him, she stared to the side ashamed that maybe this was all her fault.

Drake just listened and couldn't help but calm down. Their voices, and concerns brought him peace of mind. "Ahh... you girls are a sight..." he smiled seeing each one of them. "Sarah... I'm sorry, that you have to see me like this..." he gripped the sheets tight. "Sarah... sis... I have lots to tell you."

His tone was soft, yet also still firm. It was as if he was softening up, perhaps just for this moment. For them he let his gaurd down.

Marlene gently pat Sarah's back, helping her come out from hiding. "We can give you two space..." Marlene said.

"No... you, and Anne nee to also hear this... its right if your gonna be apart of me... though... I'll give you two a choice... after all that's happen to you two... are you sure you wanna still considered my partners. Things will get dangerous for you two... and I don't want you getting involved. Not to mention. You may learn something you don't like... so let me ask you girls... do you wish to still be with me... and learn of my past?" He offered them a choice. To leave now, and remain oblivious to the underworld. Or to stay by his side, till death do they part.

"For Rose and I, its a no brainer... and for Sarah... I'm afraid she's obligated to hear this. So this is your only chance, but also see it as a test or your faith." Alex spoke up standing by drake's side with Rose.

"So girls, what will it be?" Rose asked, knowing how unpleasant it will be for them.

"I grew up with the idea of bad people and criminal affairs, so I'm ready." Anne spoke up.

Marlene was conflicted. "We did only meet some time ago. And my father... he's law enforcement..." she thought over and over. "But, I've gotten to know what kinda person you can be... at least, the good parts. So... I should know the bad parts as well..." she stayed. They all did.

"I see..." he smiled. "I'm blessed to have such fine woman... now, where to begin. I guess... who hired that killer." Drake then looked to Sarah. "It was our father sis... he... likely trying to kidnap you, to sell you to some awful people... that's putting it mildly... and for some history... I've been fighting, crawling and kicking my way to keep us feed... and Sarah. That means, I've had to kill people before. People who would harm you. Ever since you were born. For the longest time, I've been doing awful things in the name of keeping you safe."

Sarah wasn't sure what to say. She couldn't make sense of the evil adult world. But she knew what death meant, what taking life means. "You... murdered people... for me...?" She asked.

Drake closed his eyes and nodded. "I had to. Aside from that... I had to hurt a lot of people... I had too. So I can keep you safe. If I stated weak, I couldn't protect you or anyone else here. "But please don't think it's your fault I'm like this." He reached to pat her head. "I choose this life... I could have ran away with you... taken us far away to a much safer place... but I didn't have money, I knew nothing of the outside world, just the violence I was capable of. Listen to me sarah... your big brother... is also dying."

Alex and Rose looked away knowing that.

While Marlene and Anne were visibly alarmed. "What!?"

Sarah then had tears in her eyes looking up at him finally. Her brother. Was sat there smiling after just letting them know he was dying. "Why!? Why are you smiling?! What's wrong! Can't we fix you!?" She cringed to his arm shaking.

Drake chuckled. "I'm sure there's a way to fix me... but... it's no so easy. I will need a new heart you see. And that's far to unlikely for me. And hey, I still got time lots even... so no need for tears."

Sarah was sat up on his lap, unable to process it all in her mind. She shaked her head and cried into his crest. "I cant..." she whimperednand jolted from her tears. "Your... leaving me... all alone! Please dont... PLEASE! IM SORRY! This is all my fault isn't it... I can't lose you... I don't wanna be alone!" She cried harder scared her brother would be gone if she ever opened her eyes. So she just clinged to him.

"Hey, this isn't your fault... I know... doing evil things like I have, all for the sake of keeping you safe was entirely wrong... but... after you were born... I had no choice... our parents didn't try to fix things... to better a life for all of us... there was no other option sis... I'm sorry. I've lied to you for so long... and did things in your name all for the sake of keeping you safe..."

Sarah then remembered, she was going to school all because of him. She had somewhat fresh clothes for everyday, some toys to play with. She, was being fathered by her own brother. She felt nothing but guilt. Because she couldn't remember. A single day that wasn't fun without him. He was her world holding her up frome ever falling from grace like he did. "Listen Sarah... I'm, gonna keep doing bad things... to keep you safe... and this time around, I probably won't be back like I promised you... I've let our fathers influence and power grow to much... and I'm sure you saw me get beat up and just look at me, I'm all broken to pieces." He chuckled and just didn't mind the state his body was in. "Sarah, I love you, got that, your my kid sister. And I'll be dammed if I let anything happen to you... I'm done good so far haven't i?" He asked brushing his hand through her hair.

She couldn't understand, why wouldn't he come back, why is making it sound like it might her last time seeing him. She was scared. "Did I do something wrong?! Am I reason your in pain?! Why are you leaving me!?" She cried and looked up at him from his chest wondering why suddenly, it sounded like she was losing her one and only guardian.

Drake could see the pain in her eyes, and he held back so much of himself for her sake. And even now he smiled. "Of course not... you've been a good girl the entire time... you ate all the food I've made you, go to school like I tell you, even wait for me to pick you up. Your the best sis. And your anything but my pain... your my very reason to go on like I have been... if you hadn't been born, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have gathered so many big sisters for you that care just as much for you." He wiped away her tears. "But... yeah... this, might be goodbye... my heart is failing... my identity as a big bad guy us out to the public... I can't keep you safe... but I swear to you I will do everything in my power to make sure you don't suffer, no harm will ever befall you or the girls." He mentioned to her before looking around to his girlfriends as well.

She did finally understand one thing, if she hadn't been born, her brother never would have went on to do great things. She understood what he meant. He really, would have ended things for himself. She got that now. She was a source of his strength. She had it all wrong. "Don't leave me..." she close her eyes and leaned on him hugging him tight. "Don't send me away... I'm only safe with you big brother..." she mumbled and was far to exhausted to let go as she gripped him.

"But..." he then paused. "Fine..." he gave in.

Alex gave him a look. And Marlene was looking away. Anne was in awe from the scene. And rose then spoke up. "That's only one thing now out of the way isn't it...?" She said and looked to the other bed. "Can you explain...?"

"He is marked..." Nicole said from her bed just beside them.

Drake nodded. "Girls... this is..."

"His attacker." Nicole then pulled the blinds back showing her own wounded self.

Alex got between the gap and space keeping rose behind her and the other girls. "Why is she here drake?" She said calmly.

"I gave the order that's why." Drake said looking to her. "She is no longer a hostile to me or us. Or to me. And I'm not done telling you the whole truth sis..."

Sarah looked at him, but then back at his attacker. She wasn't sure what do or feel. She was still absorbing all this info he was telling her.

"There are so many dangerous people in this city... and among them is my gang. There are plenty of them... but their is mafia, and those in the underground... this city has evil everywhere you look if you notice close enough. No where is truly safe. Police are likely out on a manhunt for me. So I imagine it won't be long until they figuer out I'm here... right Marlene?"

Marlene closed her eyes and nodded. "Yeah... father has always been the best in his line of work... and now that his chief of police around here, he's actively putting an effort to alter things and since he knows of you, it won't take long to see where we are. He's a good detective... but..." she was shaking. "Drake... you... your not gonna..."

"I wont..." he grabbed her hand. "I won't kill him... I can't do that to you... but I will try to get him on my side of things... you do see I'm not all bad right?" He asked her earnestly eye to eye with her.

She grabbed back at his hand and nodded. "I did. Your not as bad as your making yourself out to be..."

Drake didn't have it in to say it. But just because he promised, didn't mean someone else wasn't going too.

"Alright... I'm feeling better girls... you all should to Rose's floor and rest. This is the safest place for you all right now." Drake noted.

Rose would agree. "Alright... just let us know if you need us." She then picked up Sarah from him and grabbed Anne's hand. "Let's go girls."

Marlene would follow. Everyone had their own thoughts going on.

"Stuff really is getting real this time isn't it..." Alex said to him. "Feeling better my ass Drake..."

"Your not going?"

"I'm apart of this again... for better or for worse... I am still your right hand in things..." Alex then looked at Nicole. "You are too now right? As his left?"

Nicole was a shocked. To be let go and accept with ease. "Of course..."

Drake chuckled. "Things will only get far more dangerous... and it's likely once your employer learned you failed, they'll send another professional... one far stronger." Drake through his pain moved and got up. "Which means I can't stay in a coma any longer... let's meet with the other cards of the empire... on how to keep the peace in our city."

Alex saw the old Drake again. A past not long ago they wanted to leave. But this was also different. There was no mindless need to be thorough brutal with peace. He had drive for it. She could guess the reason. And it was likely this one thing.

The underground slave ring.

A sick, and very connected system, that flows through every part of this world, with this city as it prime nesting groud for the moment.

Drake went to the elevator and called for it with both the girls Nicole and Alex with him as they went to the kings gathering room. "You know... one thing I never told Sarah... was how mad I am..."

Alex was in silence.

Nicole asked. "Mad about what?"

"Not just what my father is doing... but for the fact... I had to tell her about this secret world I live in... and now... I'm mad... beyond anything I've been before. I had to through away my reformation all before the old man couldn't abandon his greed for one girl and his pride for me." Drake was annoyed.

"As in... you mean, your old pops wants to see you fail just as bad as he wants to sell sarah." Alex pointed out.

"Yeah... and now... I have to clean up these streets... more violently this time around..." Drake signed. "Are you two at all ready for the killing were going to comit...? Alex, it'll mean jumping back into the world we left, and you still have that chance... and for you Nicole, it means no way out just yet..."

Both looked at Drake and then to one another. "I don't know about the new girl here, but Drake, I owe you my life remember, I wouldn't be some slave girl like the others out there if it wasn't for you, so yeah... I'll jump back in for you."

"As for me... a little more killing means nothing, and knowing I'll be killing other and worse assholes all the better. I'd say this is a beginning to an end." Nicole and Alex both agreed to stand with him.

"I won't make either you regret this... now, with me again in the wheele... you have one important rule. If you can't handle, leave. No sacrifice is worth your own life on any mission." Drake told them.

"I know sir." Alex said before standing firm like a soldier ready for war.

"Understood." Nicole saw it as an absolute order.

Soon they arrived at the top floor with the other cards there with the accepting. Of ace who was on a moniter.

"Look who's awake." King said from his table.

"Care to explain yourself boy." Queen said.

"Sir!" Both a Jack and Ace said.

"Yeah yeah. All the members are here so let me get to it...." Drake would then explain what happened. How he pardoned Nicole and Alex even affirmed her alliance with him. Then the recent attacks on his and his sister and other girls linking them together his father. He explained in detail also his thoughts on these attacks.

"I have reason to believe... these are linked attacks... even if they are unconditional... they are amateur like... but behind them are powerful people... and I mean the underground head the 7 heads of the syndicate." Drake said.

"You really things they are connected and back to them? Ace can you confirm?" King asked.

"Yes... the van in the recent kidnap attempt belongs with the 5th head, or at least it's original from within their territory... and the members themselves are from the 2nd. While it's natural for them to possible for alliances between one another... they have no real reason. To help Drake's father... unless they already knew of the human trafficking and saw no harm."

"No... something else is going on..." the queen thought. "It could be possible, that our young man's father here... is the new 8th head of that underground syndicate..."

"8th? Why is there an 8th at all to begin with." Jack said thinking. "You don't mean he is the ring leader of them all?"

"That would be tricky." King thought on it. "But it does make sense... lately it seems like they have gotten more organized, no.... more... secretive is best to describe it. About their dealings. We could owe that to whoever is in charge of them now."

"But its strange right." Drake said. "That an 8th even exist... a ring leader that's successfully gathered all the underground big shots together. How annoying..." Drake scoffed.

"You don't sound like you doubt it." Queen lifted an eyebrow watching Drake.

The other then also.

"I dont... after all... in the underground... anything is a currency... money, information, status, your very life. And your very future. And this isn't restricted to just your own... say you control the market to human trafficking. You give up some else life entirely for your own gain. I don't doubt that's how he got into such strong power. I'm sure he had to get his hands on some peoples tastes and preferences to get where he needs to be. Life is precious, what better things to through away for power. When it doesn't even need to be your own."

"That's a sick way to see it, but yeah, I get the picture." The king said before thinking. "To thing we let them get so big to begin with." He grunted annoyed by this short coming.

"Ain't your fault. It was thanks to the old jack... he's the one had gotten in our way." Drake said.

"Isn't thay messed up to say though..." ace said timidly. "Considering... you saw them like a better father..."

"And I killed him.... yeah, it's messed up, but it's true. His idiot dealings, and backdoor betraying had gotten to deep and far so I rooted it at the sourse and destroyed it." Drake signed "our new one is much better I'm my opinion. Though still proving themselves."

"I'm right here!" Jack said yelling

"Ha true... this new Jack is far more fun and trusting... even though he slips up." King said chuckling.

"Yes yes we like the new boy, I still would have preferred if it was my little girl" queen sighed. "Whatever... now gents, let's discuss how we are going to go on from here."

"It's likely we are being marked." Ace spoke up. "I've been watching camera feeds... and recent active outside our borders and strange stuffs being going on. It seems this might organized. Cause when I think on it... these people only been acting when other in our territory have been on the move... amd what I've seen is that they are preparing something big. Some vans which I think are their shipments have been posting up too Close to home. Amd something tells me either live ammo guns or explosives. Best case drugs to sell but I highly doubt it."

"So while I was dealing with the all the attacks, the enemy has been moving around our border and using the attacks to slip through cracks." Drake's surmise quickly.

"Yes... and I have some info about Anne, that girl look alike of your sister."

"Tell me."

He then pulled up files on screen for them to see. "Her mother Is massive influential. No joke a oil tycoon or oil princess. But she's extremely shady with her deals. Its impressive how she covers her tracks. When how dirty they are, blackmail, money luardy, tax evasion, bribary. Something tells me she has some very important people against her thumb and even more important people she is backing up, but I also see she has her own private military. She's is basically a state of her own. Her influence and reach is all her county. And yet, it doesn't seem like she tries to rule like some president, it seems she likes the idea of playing solely a rich girl with power and money to fluent it." Ace then finished.

"So how does she come in all this...?" Queen asked.

"Is she connected to our assassin here?" Jack asked.

"She is." King said. "I had my people take a look into the mercenaries and assassins for hire and a group of them have been bought by that same woman."

"Hold on, I wasn't contacted by her." Nicole inputed.

"No, but a man right?" King asked.

"Yes."

"That man is under her, but it seems strange that he would contact her, so I'm guessing, our young man's father here... is in works with that lady. How else would they know of him. His sister. And then be able to track down the city."

"I did also get Dropbox with info about you sir. So I have agree here." Nicole pointed out.

"To many coincidences are being put together... but that's fine. I had my suspensions about my father... but this confirms something for me. That he's planning to take our father son fighting a whole lot more serious." Drake signed.

"I'll get a handle on her location. Jack why don't you prepare to head out with Drake here." Queen said getting her phone from her purse.

"Ace, start keeping tabs on the underground. Tell me the heads new leaders and let me know there every move track them down and dig up everything you can on them. Joker. You get ready to start an offensive." King said.

"Understood. Do you have my key to my garage?" Drake asked.

King went into his pocket tossing him a key. "Don't let me hold onto that cursed thing again kid... now get ready, were gonna play into their hands a bit and your the main target. I hope your ready for war Joker." King told him.

"Yeah... I'm ready." Joker caught the key, and walked off. "Jack, we'll meet up again soon so stay on call.

"Gotcha." Jack stayed behind as he began to map out the city.

Alex and Nicole followed Drake.

"So... Joker. Where are we headed?" Nicole asked.

"To a warehouse. To get my things. There well get some money, and I'll make my kid sister is hidden away a while... I'm not sure how bad things will get once things kid off..." Drake said thinking the worse.

"You don't mean like the riot just before you left do you?" Alex asked

"Yeah... I'm sure it will kick start again... after our public beating here from Nicole. I'm sure many of the old gangs amd police are looking for me... and her. Something tells me that in there seach... our city and streets will be risin to hell with gang violence. Unless we do something about it."

"Amd what do you plan to do?" Nicole asked.

"That's work with the police..." he answered. They all stepped into an elevator talking.

"The cops?! Your kidding me... they won't work with us. Not after what happen to the Last chief of police." Alex told him.

On the garage floor they then headed to a car.

"True... but, the chief of police is Marlene's father reme Alex. He... might... give Mr a chance... though I'm sure he's already dug up everything on me... and this just won't be any better... so I have an idea..." Drake was also worried.

"Mind telling us?" Alex asked.

"We'll meet him in private... well I mean I'll meet him alone in private." They stopped by a car where Drake opened the door for them both.

"Your not serious." Alex said after getting in and so did Drake and Nicole.

"I am..." he started the car and began to drive. "In fact... I'll be doing that now." He then grabbed his phone and called the police.
