Mind games(chapter 40)

In an abandoned building,"how could you do this?this wasn't our agreement" said a man furiously,the other man in his late fifties clicked his tongue annoyed "you dare question me?your stupid and good for nothing assassin missed the target,I don't know why I gave you the damn job,simple instructions and your loser assassin couldn't do it" replied the man."Your instructions are flawed you only said the target was his secretary,if she was his secretary why did he take the bullet for her?Mr Tristan is there something you aren't telling me?" asked the man,Mr Tristan looked at him intimidating his hand around his neck tightly "stupid assassin who are you to question me?are you tired of living?I'll wipe out your entire organisation dare me" he said.The man tried to free himself from his tight grip but it was impossible Mr Tristan was much stronger than him,"what do you think you're doing?" asked a man walking slowly towards them,he was the same age as Mr Tristan one of his eye was covered with a black eye patch ,Mr Tristan loosened his grip and turned to look at the other man "mono eye" he called arrogantly "let him go" he ordred,Mr Tristan looked at the man and let go of his neck "hawk eye leave us alone" he told the other man who was his subordinate,the man nodded his head and turned to look at mr Tristan his eyes full of hate,seeing the hate directed towards him mr Tristan smirked "what you want a fight?" he asked but the man said nothing and turned to leave.

The two men were left alone in the dim light room,"won't you offer me a drink? " asked Mr Tristan "and why should I?your were just being hostile to my subordinate,Mr Tristan you have alot of guts" mono eye said he was the leader of the organisation,"he was just annoying I couldn't stop myself" he replied,mono eye looked at him and said nothing.They were the biggest assasin organisation in the entire country they even had branches all over the world ,they had never failed in their mission and always did a clean job leaving no trances,they trained their assssins since young and all grow up being the best assasins,infulential and rich people hired them to assasin their rivals or enemies,they were feared and respected by all only few people could dare cause a sceen in their turf and Mr Tristan was one of them."Mr Tristan what's the relationship between that lady and mr Lucas?" he asked his face serious,Mr Tristan patted his shoulder laughing "why are you so formal aren't we friends" he said,the man held his hand gripping it tightly "I'm in no mood for jokes answer my question" mono eye said threateningly "relax! relax! why do you have to get so violent" Mr Tristan said,a cold sweat trickling from his forehead,though he can make a sceen Infront his subordinates he knew the man who stood infront of him was a no-nonsensical man,one mistake and he would drop on the ground lifeless and no one will be able to trace his body."mr Tristan" he called getting impatient,"let go of my hand" he pleaded,mono eye let go of his hand "speak" he ordered with a authoritative tone "she is mr Lucas' wife" he said,"WHAT?!" he asked petrified,seeing how scared he got mr Tristan gulped nervously,the man took a gun and pointed at him "what have you done?" he asked,"I thought she was his secretary but have done research she is his legal wife,I swear I didn't know he was married" he said nervously,"I'll kill you and present him with your head as an apology" he said his face serious.

Seeing the situation was getting worse,I have to think of something to save myself or else I'll die in here he thought,after the failed mission he had decided to go to them to try to save himself,he knew soon they were going to find out about her identity and if they knew he lied they were going to kill him and his organisation, that's why he had to go to them before they come to him,he couldn't hide from them."Do you think after killing me you will be able to save yourself?" he asked, I'll have to try my luck he thought,"of course I'll tell him you gave us the wrong information and that we didn't know she was his wife" mono eye said,Mr Tristan scoffed "even if you didn't know she was his wife you still targeted her,she is one of his people and no one dares to touch them,you even tried to assassinate her in his grandfather's mansion how will you explain that?" he asked,he is right even if we didn't know she was his wife,we attacked his secretary in his mansion he won't let us go so easily even if I present him with his head,what have I gotten myself into, he thought.Seeing he was deep in thoughts Tristan quickly said "I'm sure he will come after us why don't we kill him before he gets out of the hospital,he is injured the two of us can eliminate him and take over his organisation" "you think its easy to eliminate him?many have tried and now they are burried six feet underground I'm not ready to die" he said and walked to the couch,he sat down and sighed out loudly "they have cought the assasin right?" he asked "I'm sure they have,he is in their custody" he replied."This is all your fault,I helped you beacuse we are acquited but if I had known the target was his wife I wouldn't have dared to" he said his face full of regret,"blaming me wont help we should eliminate him because after he gets out of the hospital he will come for us" he said "shut up,do you think Lucas' is just a business man?do you think even with our joint forces we can shake him?do you know who truly he is?" he asked angrily"but if we don't..." "Shut up, I'm sure you knew she was his wife that's why you wanted to eliminate her or do you think I don't know him and your daughter used to date? do I look stupid to you?I should have guessed your intentions you wouldn't have paid us so much for just killing her" he said.

He was the leader of the organisation and he well knew who Lucas was,even in a million years he would never try to offend Lucas,they did their dirty business and Lucas knew about it but he never confronted them because he too knew they were powerful and didn't want to get into a fight with them,he didn't want to have a bloodbath but that didn't mean he was scared of them if he wanted he could wipe them out.Though Lucas was know for justice,he couldn't completely wipe out the bad guys some were to powerful to deal with,Mono eye knew that they had offended him and he knew what will happen to him,the good thing was that their aasain were well trained and could withstand brutal torture but he wasn't sure if the assasin they cought would be able to withstand their torture,he knew Lucas used the most brutal torchure there is."if we can't eliminate him then we will make someone else take the fall" Mr Tristan said "what are you talking about" he asked "when I did a background check on her I realised she had a lot of enemies in country X,you have one of your branches there" he said "mr Tristan go staight to the point" he said impatiently "I'm sure they are still torchuring him to get his confession,Lucas is in the hospital and his men they are busy tightening the security no one is looking for the mastermind we can transfer his details to your branches and set up a trap for one of her enemies,if one of them takes the bait when they look deeper they will learn that the mastermind is her enemy,he will target her enemy and we will all be saved but you have to be prepared to lose your branch" he said."Are you sure?what if none takes the bait?" he asked "I'm sure after everything have learnt her enemies hate her to the core it won't be hard to lure one of them" Mr Tristan said,"then I'll sacrifice my branch,whoever takes the fall is none of my concern as long as we are saved" he said,he cared for his men but he loved his life more "I'll make sure of that,your assasin doesn't know his client right?" "of course he doesn't know" he replied "then leave the rest to me, I'll take care of everything,when it comes to mind games no one can beat me" he said "you old sly fox I hope your plans work if not I'll kill you all and drag you to hell with me" he threatened,"no need to threaten me,we're in the same boat" he said.

At an underground room,"Sir he hasn't confessed" said a man,Daniel who sat on the couch typing on his laptop sighed,his face was a little swollen due to his fight with his friend,"he is a tough nut to crack,we need his confession before we visit Lucas" he said "what should we do?he might die because of the continuous torchure" the man said "dying is a must for him,but he can't die for now prepare my tools I need to see how tough he is" he said,hearing him talk about his tools the man trembled in fear,he well knew how scary and painful the tools were,when used it was a nightmare no one would wish to experience,they hardly used them and if they did it was a hell for that person.The man nodded his head and quickly left,Daniel stood up and headed to the room the assasin was,the assasin sat on a chair tied with chains,his upper body wrapped with bandages with visible blood stains on them his head lowered, Daniel walked closer to him and took the chair close to him,he sat down and lifted his chin with his hand,the man's face was covered with blood no one could be able to identify him."So you won't talk?" asked Daniel,the man with a lot of difficulty opened his swollen eyes he couldn't see clearly "turn the lights on,I want him to see clearly" he ordered and the lights were turned on,the man squirted his eyes "seeing clearly?" he asked but the man said nothing.The door was pushed open and a man walked in carrying a tool box,he handed it to Daniel,Daniel held the tool box his eyes brightening "here is one of my babies,you should feel honoured I will use this on you" he said,the man smirked mockingly "is...that...all you..got?" he asked with difficulty,"oooh you can still talk,it seems my boys were merciful,remind me to cut off your tongue" he said,he opened the tool box and the equipments inside it were terrifying,the man seeing what was inside the tool box froze,he looked at Daniel his eyes full of horror and fear "what aren't you gonna say anything? they are beautiful aren't they?" he asked mocking the man,the assasin trembled in fear,he wasn't the only one who got scared the other men in the room too broke out a cold sweat,"I'll ..speak" the man said his."Hahaha..that was fast I thought you wanted to test my special equipments what a shame" he said,"speak" he ordered his face turning serious "I just got a file with an order to kill her,,I dont know who the client was" he said breathing with difficulty,"where did the order come from?" he asked "I don't know I only got information where to find the file and how to do my mission,I was instructed to do my mission when she was in the mansion,I swear I don't know who the client is" he said,he looked at Daniel with pitful eyes hoping to gain his sympathy."I knew you would talk,that's good you're a smart one,I know you know nothing about the client but thanks for your good coperation" he said and stood up to leave,shocking all of them."Sir is that information useful you should have torchured him more maybe he knows something" a man walking besides him said "he is an assasin of course he doesn't know the client" he replied "then why did we torture him if you already know he has no information" asked the man,"for fun,its been long since we had someone in our custody" he said shocking the man.He can't be serious,we have been torchuring the man for hours now he says it was just for fun?no one can truly understand how his mind works,thought the man,they think they're smart?what a joke, when it comes to playing mind games no one can beat me,I'll just wait for you to take the bait I'll deal with you for what you have done,he thought.
