Shipping Yard 2

I waited patiently in my truck, glancing at the security, making out a new plan in case anything goes wrong, the guard came back and asked me to step out of the truck. I acted dumb turning my face to see if I could find another entrance

"Sir, can you please step out of the truck?" He side, this time with a raucous tone placing one hand on his pistol tied around his waist. The other guards quickly surround the truck, pointing their guns towards me, all the dogs began to bark and it called more attention to the other guards far off, I obediently stepped out of the truck slowly, he did not waste more time before pulling me by my wrist

"Move it," he said, the total number of visible guards is twenty-six in numbers and Dobermans dog's, they seem to be very aggressive with the way they pull the guards holding them, I could mistake them for wolves

I was dragged into the guard room where three chief guards are sitting, each of them holding a hot cup of coffee, all three of them were dressed in their uniforms and I could tell the superior from the tags on their uniform, in getting to the room, I lowered my head in other not to reveal my face,

"Hey Garçon, "Comment t'appelles-tu?" the officer with a rank shaped like a golden leaf on his shoulder said, he must be the Major. I don't understand French (over the years I learned a lot of languages but never was I interested in French) and I guess they understand French very well; my heart kept beating fast when one of the officers noticed his hot cup of coffee frozen up

"oh mon bon seigneur, tout est gelé" he then turned the cup upside down, surprise they all did the same but it was frozen up

"Qu'est-ce qui se passe ici? c'est une merveille" (What is going on here? This is a miracle) the captain said before turning his gaze back to me

"Let him through the weather is becoming very cold and please get us some coffee" he handed me my clearance papers, I took a deep breath in relief

"Make sure you sign out before leaving and I don't want to see you wearing this piss of shit next time," the major said with a taut voice

In a dark room, filled with trunks of dead fishes and a pool of blood, Marvel is quietly sitting with her hands tied above her head, and her legs chained, beside her are Gandalf and two other hit men, and in front of her was a stool and a table, she could barely see clearly because she has been going through a different face of torture and one of her eyes was completely shot and the other was swollen

Blood is dripping from her nose to the floor

"Be strong, help is coming" Gandalf said in a wheezy tone, from the look of things he won't be able to survive this night, the two hit men are almost lifeless, they have been tortured three times more than Marvel, but they don't seem to mind, they are still ready to fight and protect her with the last drop of blood remaining in them

Immediately the iron door opened, the footstep of soldiers marching in a particular formation, Marvel tried to open her eyes to see what is going on, but she could not, "hahaha, you little brat" a man said walking inside the room and the door was shut immediately from the outside

Gandalf recognized him

"She might be little, but she is 10x a man than you" he mumbled, immediately one of the soldiers hit him with a wooden bat just to make him shut up

"Oh Gandalf the great, I never could believe you would lose your four sites all because of this little girl's father, at the end you will die before her, and nothing will come to you after all the years you have worked, no kids of your own, what a pity, and you still have the guts to speak?" The man continued speaking in a gruff voice

Marvel continues to cough out blood, she widens her eyes just to see his face clearly,

"You scumbag, do you think you can finish this that you have started, just remember this, A Lannister always pays his debts, you may see me as a cat of a different coat, but

In a coat of gold or a coat of red a lion still has his claws" she muttered under her breath

"Hmm, like father like daughter, unlike your father, it took me time to kill him, but you see little girl, I run things now.

I'm the king and everyone knees before me, now listen you spoiled brat, I am letting you breathe because of the debt I owe the McQueens, I am going to give you 24 hours to return my diamonds and all the goods you stole...." While the man was still speaking, Gandalf interrupted

"you thief, the diamond you stole from her mother after killing her, we have nothing to do with the high jacking of your trucks and if we did, you will not see them again. Listen Lucas, it will be a mistake if you let us live for another 24 hours because by that time you will be begging for your life, and you see these guards around you, they will flee before your very eyes. My advice to you is that, you should leave this place immediately" Gandalf said with an astonished and pissed-off face

Sneered in annoyance, Old Lucas clinched his fist not to slap him, he paced back and forth in the room not saying anything, immediately a guard run in to call his attention, he spoke in his ears so no one could hear what he was saying to Lucas but Gandalf did hear them, he could read the thought and mind of people standing close to him, and he can sometimes see beyond the four walls of a room

Gandalf and Lucas were once working for Mr. McQueen, he found Lucas on the roadside, homeless, and he decided to take him in as a son. While Gandalf was employed to drive his son to school and his friend's place, Lucas became jealous of his wealth and wished to be like him. He was privileged to school in the best school as Mr. McQueen

He was treated with equal rights, just as Mr. McQueen, he learned everything about business from the Queen's

He was strong and smart, so he was given a part of the business empire to manage, and from then his greed became strong, after the death of Mr. McQueen's father, he became envious, he despised calling him his boss

He started making plans to eliminate Mr. McQueen but with the help of Gandalf, Mr. McQueen survived the conspired attack from Lucas and the other Mafia lords, Lucas laid claim to some of the McQueen's empire and became the Mafia boss

After two years, Mr. McQueen returned and took back his position as a boss, but with less territory, since he was no longer feared by the gangsters, political opponents, and the military. He sustained some damage during the attack, and his right leg was amputated

Gandalf became his right-hand man and driver, he has been of great help to his boss, and he lost the ability of his four eyes due to a gunshot to his head, during the raid.

Gandalf and Mr. McQueen went on a business trip for a week, and before they got back; Lucas had planned another attack on the McQueen family which led to the death of Mrs. Margaret McQueen who was an activist, CEO of the McQueen cloth line, and the wife of Mr. McQueen

On their return, they gather to remain members of their cartel to recover all that was stolen, Lucas kidnapped Marvel during the raid and demanded a ransom, that was how he got hold of the fishing company where he does all his exports.

Lucas has coined his way to the top, both in government, far and wide; he has gained so much power and can easily bring down anyone who tries to plan an attack on him and his empire.
