CHAPTER 20

Mimi

"What did you find out?"

"Boss. Their meeting is all about you and the five families. they are all suspecting you. They are all saying that you have a hand in it. Maybe you are the one backing the detective up."

"What are they planning to do?"

"They have not concluded yet. They are still doubting that. So they want to join hands together and investigate more about the matter. To know if you are innocent or not."

"I see. "

" But boss...."

"Tell me, Evan. What did you find out?"

"It's about Greg."

"What about him? Is he ok?"

"I don't think he is. They said he is your weak point. They will use him to get you.

They are planning to kill him. So that they can tame you. I'm afraid, his life is in danger."

"Hmm. We have to change to plan b. We can't let our mission be jeopardized. Where is Greg now?"

"He's in the training ground. He's training some newbies."

"Please keep an eye on him. His movement, who he meets with. I don't want anything to happen to him. Not even you guys. We are all going to be alive to witness all our enemies go down. Those that have caused us pain pay the price of all the things they have done to us."

"Don't worry, boss, we will fight to be alive."

"You people will lay low. Just support me in the background. I don't want him to suspect anyone else. I will be the only one facing him. I will bear all the consequences if there are any."

"But only you can't face them one on one ."

"You guys will help me. You will be my eyes and ears and I will be the weapon that will bring all the remaining three families down."

"Ok, boss."

"We will lay low for now so that we will bring their guard down. Mr Steph is our next target. Is the boss back?"

" Yes, he is. He came back thirty minutes ago."

"Ok. Let me go and divert his attention. Tell Greg to inform the detective what is going on for now and let him lay low until I say otherwise. All eyes are on him now. He should go to the countryside. Nothing should happen to him. We still need him."

"Ok, boss. I will do just that."

"Good. I'll talk to you later."

"Ok, boss."

"Boss"

"You are the only one that comes into my office without knocking."

"I always forget."

"What is it Mosquito?"

"Mr Jones refused to pay up. Should I send the boys?"

"Of course. He should pay up. I remembered when he came on his knees begging for money. He promised to pay up before now but what did he do? He started gambling with my money. My hard-earned money. If he did not pay up the money today, take away anything he holds dear too. Make sure he bleeds. I Red spare no one."

"Ok, boss. I will send the boys now."

"You will go and exchange goods with Mr Steph."

"What goods boss? You never inform anything about it."

"Theo will give you a briefcase. There's money in it. Check it before you leave his presence."

"How much is it?"

"Hundred million dollars. He will exchange it with thirty girls. Young beautiful girls."

"I don't know how it will go. The police are on my trail. They have been tracking my movement. I'm trying to cover it up. I had that they had gotten another piece of evidence. I'm trying to destroy it."

"Who is backing that worthless detective? You know what? Just find a way. I trust you with this. That's why I'm handing it over to you."

"I will go with five guys. I don't want them to suspect anything."

"That's good. I don't want any bad news. We can't leave any dirt on us until everything calms down."

"Ok. We will leave now."

I leave the boss's office to where my boys are waiting for me. Everything is going as planned.

"Boss you are here."

"Hm. Where are the spies?"

"They are here boss. As I said, there are five. I don't know how brave they are to hide among us. I don't know what the boss is thinking."

"Take me to them."

"Ok, boss. This way."

He took me to where they were. Five of them. They were tied up in a chair.

"Here they are boss."

"They are the one?"

"Yes, boss."

I squat down in front of the hostage. They were terrified. Their eyes are filled with unimaginable fear. Fear of losing their lives. I will let them choose by themselves.

"How loyal are you to Mr. Red?

"We pledge our loyalty to him."

''even to death?"

"Yes even to death. Nothing will change. That. We will give up our lives for the boss. We will always remain loyal to him. Nothing will change that."

"So you guys will die for the boss?"

"Yes, we will."

I turned to look at my boys and gave them a signal. Now is the time to act a little drama.

"How dare you people tie up your fellow guys? The people who are loyal to the boss?"

"We are sorry boss. It won't happen again. We will be more careful in the future. We thought that they were spies sent from our rival families. We are sorry. We will not make that mistake again"

"Good. Release them, let them go.''

"Ok, boss."

They were released. They were surprised by the turn of events.

"The boss sent me an errand. Five of them will follow me. Only the five of them."

"But..."

"What again?

"Nothing. We will follow your orders."

"Good. Let's go."
