The Majestic Room

The Night struck at The Royal Britain Capital, It was the time for the wolves to growl, the owls to hoot, to the moon to arise fully. It was the time for everyone you forget their worries and sleep safe and sound, at least for some of them safe and sound. The bright moon was hiding behind the curtains of beclouded night. Winter thick fog covered the entire London in its dense grasp, a rare sight. The whole ever-so-bustling city The Capital was in entire silence. The only sound that could be heard on that quiet night was the sound of some mysterious approaching footsteps. It was the time for everything to wrap themselves in the warm blanket of the night while it was the perfect time for the Dark knights to arrive and the people living in the glasshouses to fear!

Samuel Greco (Frederick), Edward Johnson and Alessio Francisco laid their determined footsteps to the way of justice. Samuel Greco being a Fearless and kind-hearted being, went on this way to take revenge for his old brother-like friend who supported him through thick and thin and to rise for some fresh air to breathe from this deep ocean of regrets. Edward Johnson is a ravishing detective, full filing his obligatory task as a detective to uncover the secrets of this case. Alessio Francisco is a son to be proud of, finding the killer of his father or finding the way towards the killer to kill him with his own young hands and save his family from his grasp. Will they all be succeeded tonight peacefully?

" Edward, we are near his building, right? " I asked Edward curiously who was leading us towards Edmondson's office.

"Yes, we are my friend." He replied and kept walking being alarmed.

"Hmm," I said.

"Richard is not trustworthy for sure," Edward asked me.

"Sure he is not but I am confident we will make it through it after endangering his life multiple times," I replied in a lowered voice.

"Sir?" Alessio asked in a questioning tone.

"Yes, Alessio," I said softly.

"Although we do have Richard under our control still we should be precautious," Alessio said in a deep voice.

"Precaution is better than regretting later Alessio, we would be precautious. " I replied in my husky voice.

"Let's be prepared for any situation hmm?" Edward said.

"Hmm." I and Alessio both nodded.

They all reached the door of Mr Edmondson's lavish office, it could be said by seeing the exterior of the office that he is the number one Attorney of The State. Samuel sighed and said,

"Let's go boys!"

"Best of luck!" Edward said.

"You too," Alessio replied.

They all went inside, the interior of the office was magnificent. Brown Italian leather sofas were in the lobby paired with the royal tables made of fragile glass, the expensive and unique decoration pieces were placed decently. The interior was nothing less than a royal official's office, a lady came towards the three of us and asked politely,

"Who are you, sir?"

"I am Richard Ross's man and have been sent by Sir Edmondson Brown, there are some documents I need to collect," I said in a formal tone but gently.

"Is there any note with Sir Edmondson's signature or Sir Richard's signed card to verify your statement with you?" She inquired.

"Uhh....." I looked at her and said in a confused tone.

[ Flashback ]

"How would we get inside? " I asked Richard angrily,

"Huh?" his eyebrow raised.

"Do you think I would not know that I can't just barge into the office of the number one Attorney of the entire state? Give me something to verify myself!" I exclaimed callously.

"I...I" he hesitated and started looking here and there pretending not to know such a thing.

"Hand it to me straight or I will take it my way." I pointed the gun right at his heart.

"Here!" he handed the signed card quickly to me,

"What is this? " I looked at the card and asked him in an infuriated tone.

"It's my signed card to verify yourself, it is the card I give to my most trusted men to verify that they are my men. If you would show this there then nobody would dare to come your way! " He answered quickly the words were coming out of his mouth at a high speed faster than his racing heartbeats.

"Hmm." I put the card in my pocket and smirked.

[ Present ]

"Yes, here it is." I showed it to the lady.

"This way sir."

She showed me the way to Edmondson's office, While Edward sat in the lobby waiting for us and Alessio went with me as his dressing could tell that he was my bodyguard. On my way, I saw many people working hastily and busily in their work. Every desk was covered in piles of papers and various files spread all over them. Everybody was rushing past each other and trying to become the next number one Attorney of The State. The lady said,

"Here it is, please take the required file and inform me before you leave." She smiled and said.

"OK, thank you," I said while smiling too.

"My pleasure." With that, she left and I faced Alessio and said in a low voice,

"Be alerted and knock on the door if anything wrong happens I would understand it OK?"

"Don't worry sir you can trust me." He said in his deep voice but in a respectful tone.

"I know my son." I affirmably patted his shoulder and went inside, Alessio stood outside and guarded the door for me so he could inform me timely.

As I went inside, I saw before my eyes his highly decorated office. There was a solid wooden desk which had carvings on the borders, it looked like the wood was newly polished. There was a big red-coloured cosy armchair behind it. All the walls were covered by long bookshelves containing hundreds of thousands of thick books. The room had a high raised ceiling on the borders that were beautifully designed and a majestic chandelier was hanging from it, its hanging crystals were sparkling beautifully. The floor was wooden but there were beautiful Iranian carpets laid on it, all in all, it was a perfect office which proved that it was the office of the Number one Attorney of The State.

I examined the entire room carefully to check if someone was there hiding to kill me. I took my gun from my waistband and pointed it forward, I carefully was laying every step of mine. Only the voice of my footsteps could be heard in the majestic room. I came near his desk and started searching for it, first I searched his table there were files related to the new cases he had been handling. Most of them were related to Lorenzo's men, their trials on robbery, gambling, money laundering etc. The irony was that they would be solved and the victory would be for sure in favour of Lorenzo or I should say the injustice would win. Even if I collect these documents there would be of no use in the court because of the paid witnesses and forged evidence by Lorenzo. In Italy, the only law is Lorenzo Armani and that's all. I sighed and opened the drawers under the desk, in the first drawer were letters, I examined each one of them none of them was by Lorenzo. But one was for Richard, I tore the envelope and read the letter. A confident smile formed on my face and the feeling of victory suddenly arise. This would proven beneficial very beneficial for our case. I searched the other two drawers and collected the important items I needed for this case. The evidence was not in his office certainly it was understood that Lorenzo won't let his life in danger. The suicide letter of Hernandez the butler in Lorenzo's household was missing from her which disappointed me but some things I found were way more important than that evidence and were a blessing in disguise.

While Samuel was busy searching for the missing evidence in the lounge tables turned. Edward was sitting quietly and observing his whereabouts when he saw from the glass window the arrival of a not so awaited person, Edmondson Brown. Edward's eyes widened in shock and he was puzzled for a moment by seeing Edmondson Brown's arrival and then rushed to inform Alessio. He was rushing towards the Attorneys office sector when the lady stopped and asked him,

"Where are you going, sir?"

"I'm Charles's partner, I'm here to meet Charles for an important case," I said politely.

"But sir I can't let you in the attorney's sector without verification."

"Oh yes, the verification." I quickly took out the card and showed it to her.

'Here." I handed her the card.

"Oh, I'm sorry sir, I didn't know this earlier. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." She worriedly said and handed me the card back.

"No problem I understand it's part of your job kind lady. " I gently took the card from her and put it back in my pocket, then said to her with an empathetic tone and a kind smile, I rushed towards Edmondson Brown's office to inform Alessio who was guarding the door about the arrival of Edmondson. Seeing me panting heavily and all flustered Alessio asked concerned,

"What happened, sir Edward?"

"Edmondson..." I kept on panting.

"What Edmondson?" he asked while his foxy ocean eyes widened.

"He has arrived guard the door for us I need to inform Samuel about this keep guarding the door and alert us if you see him coming towards here," I said to him hurriedly.

"OK... OK, I would." He said quickly.

Edward went bustling in, and Alessio stayed outside to be there and alert us upon Edmondson's arrival. Samuel quickly hid inside the desk as he noticed someone opening the door and coming. Edward closed the door and quickly said,

"Samuel we need to get out of here!"

"But Why?" I asked with a flustered expression.

"Edmondson has arrived," Edward exclaimed in a clear voice.

"What?" I asked with a confused look loudly.

"Just hurry up," Edward told me.

"How can he-" I was lost for a moment.

"We don't have enough time for all of this, quickly hide this stuff inside your coat or whatever and get leaving from here." He said while walking back and forth panicking.

"I am already packing it. " I shovelled the papers inside the briefcase.

"Let's go go go." He said showing the way out.

"Hmm." I nodded.

We all went outside and hid completely in our hats and coats while looking downwards. I carried the suitcase and walked towards the exit of the Attorney's sector, Edward slightly bowed towards the lady in a thanking way. Alessio and Samuel kept walking outside with a lowered gaze to avoid any contact with Edmondson Brown. They were headed outside while Edmondson was coming inside they all saw Edmondson Brown coming towards the three of them. But Edmondson went past them although he didn't even notice a single thing about their presence.

We all went outside and went away from his office as fast as we could like a flash of light. Before anybody could notice we completed our work with extreme care and cleanliness and returned to r pavilion which is currently my house. We all quickly entered inside and hung our coats, hats and muffler and went into my living room. I placed the suitcase on the table and opened it we all looked at it and I said in a Congratulatory voice,

"Good job boys!"

"Thank you, sir." Edward bowed and Alessio said in his usual deep voice and formal tone.

"We got the thing we wanted and slide past Edmondson Brown before letting him know," Edward said in an achieving tone while sitting on the table.

"We got saved by the skin of our teeth!" Alessio said and sighed.

"Indeed we did," I said while smiling.

"He would be infuriated by the thought that he got tricked," Edward said in a mischievous tone and smiled.

"I don't know why but I am getting an unusual relieved feeling by that thought," I said while we all were laughing even The Serious Alessio.

"Let's enjoy his anger and rejoice in our victory," Edward said excitedly.

"Sure we deserve it. " I said joyfully.
