Newton took a warm soak in the Jacuzzi before settling into the super-comfortable Baldacchino Supreme bed.Grinch sat on a sofa next to Newton, a pistol on a stool within arm's reach. "Boss, don't forget the old man," Grinch reminded Newton.Newton made no reply and picked up his phone to make the transfer. "Jefferey Oswald" was the name of the account holder."Why would Jefferey Oswald be moving with someone named Emily?" Newton asked sarcastically."Who is Jefferey Oswald?" Grinch asked."The man I just sent money to, he is Oswald," Newton replied."Oswald," Grinch pondered. *Ring, ring, someone was at the door.Newton motioned for Grinch to open the door.Grinch cocked his silenced pistol and pointed it down as he moved quickly towards the door."Who?" He called out.No answer.Grinch peered through the spyhole in the door. Suddenly his phone rang..."It's the receptionist, Grinch. You should embrace technology," Newton laughed. "How did you know?" Grinch asked."I have a good
Newton watched from his monitor as the receptionist rang the doorbell, paper in hand, before moving into the living room to inspect the medical report she had brought with her. "Connor McNeil," he commented. "Yes sir," the lady replied. "It will be taken care of," Newton replied and retired to the bedroom. It was 6 a.m., Grinch was still asleep.Newton walked in to see Grinch's eyes wide open..." Good morning boss," he greeted. Newton returned the greeting with a smile. Suddenly, Grinch's phone rang...He looked at the caller for a moment before answering. Grinch was silent as he listened to the caller's words. Newton thought something might have gone wrong from the look on Grinch's face.Grinch dropped the phone and immediately got up from the bed."Boss, I've been asked to come to the hospital, it's about Mr. Alfred," he said worriedly.Newton was surprised by the urgency of the call regarding Mr. Alfred. The time was 6:13 a.m. "But didn't they say he was fine and would be di
"Get Nurse Sara out here now!" The manager yelled.The doctor rushed out and soon came in with Nurse Sara.Newton and Grinch stared at the nurse as she approached them. She looked frightened and sweaty."Tell us what happened last night with Mr. Alfred," Newton ordered impatiently."I swear it wasn't me. I didn't do it," the nurse cried.The men looked at each other questioningly. "Nurse Sara, please tell us what happened to Mr. Alfred yesterday. No one is blaming you," the manager raised his voice."I went in yesterday to check on the patient, I asked him a few questions about his health and he replied that he had a slight fever. After checking his temperature, I discovered it was high, so I left the room to get the proper medication to give him." She spoke in panic " When I came in, I found a small blood spot on his arm, when I asked him about it, he said he had already been given a drug by another doctor through a syringe," the nurse said...Newton watched her face intently. His e
"What has this man done that someone would come after him with such a thing?" The lab manager asked worriedly.The manager sighed. "The person who did this changed his name tag to Ronald to hide his identity," he said."Check the CCTV footage of the hallway," Newton instructed.Immediately, the manager stood up and led them to a room with the live feed from the cameras stationed around the hospital."Show me the footage from last night, in the corridor of Wing B," the manager instructed the operator.They saw a man wearing a surgical suit with thick lenses. He came out of a room and threw his name tag on the floor. They couldn't see his face because he was covered from head to toe."This is who we are after.""That's the devil!" Grinch shouted."He walks like Dr. Sergey," the nurse commented.Newton and the manager looked at the nurse standing behind them, then back at the screen."Grinch, didn't you find a scrub cap and a face mask in the second trash can?" Newton asked Grinch."Yes.
Newton brought the Doc to the Norton mansion.Grinch grabbed him by the collar, "Come out here, you wry snake," he shouted."Please have mercy on me. They made me do it. I swear it," the Doctor pleaded.Newton and Grinch took him to the cellar and tied him to a chair."Please... They took my Amiyah. I would never do anything to hurt anyone," the Doctor cried."We'll come back for you," Newton said.Both men left the basement, leaving the doctor tied to a chair."We should beat him before the interrogation even begins," Grinch suggested."If my family were being sacrificed and used as a bargaining tool, I might have no choice but to do what he did if I were in his shoes. Wouldn't you do the same?" Newton asked."I wouldn't kill anyone that cold-heartedly," Grinch replied."Even if your mother or your family were killed instead?" Newton asked.Grinch was silent. He had no words to give."Exactly, Grinch. We'll get rid of him, that's for sure, but not like this. Let's get the information
Newton returned to the mansion to find Grinch yelling at the men..."No one saw that bastard leave? How is that even possible?"Newton parked the car and rushed out to quell the trouble Grinch was about to cause. "Boss, as soon as I left, that evil Doc escaped. I suspect these men helped him get away."Newton stared into Grinch's face as he spoke..."Do these men know the penalty for disloyalty? I say we punish them all," Grinch was furious."You should have waited before releasing the information about Mr. Alfred's death, Grinch." Newton finally spoke.Grinch raised his eyes to his boss's face. He paused for a moment, trying to decipher the reason for his boss's reluctance to tell his mob members about Mr. Alfred's death."Yes, sir," he finally said."These men are innocent, they didn't help the man," Newton said.Grinch stared at Newton."Can I tell you a secret? You must promise to keep it to yourself and never tell anyone," Newton said."You know me, boss. I am not a big mouth," G
He was met with silence from his men. They were not buying the idea of moving against the Bagwells."I will go to the hospital and try to uncover some more clues as to the identity of these men. If it turns out that it was the Bagwells who did it, I'll send a good message to their leader about the details of what he's gotten his hands on," Newton announced."Their leader?" Mr. Gregory asked."No one knows who their leader is, no one has seen him except Grinch. That is how he got his nickname, Grinch," Mr. Johnson added.Newton looked at Grinch and from where he stood, he explained how the ordeal happened."We were escorting Mr. Norton, the big boss, to a friend's wedding. Everything was going fine until the priest asked anyone who didn't support the Union for any reason to step outside. Two men stepped out of the crowd and claimed the union couldn't hold because their boss liked the bride. This made no sense to us, so we dragged the two men off the premises by force. Shortly after w
"Boss, when you said you wanted a list of Bagwell's properties, were you planning on destroying their properties?" Grinch asked, horror written all over his face.Newton stared at the man intently without saying a word, Grinch had to put aside every question his curiosity brought to his mind... "Whatever you wish, boss, we are solidly behind you. Even if you go to hell, we'll follow you," he said."We'll see, Grinch," Newton nodded."I should go to the hospital now. Come with me," Newton instructed Grinch as he got to his feet.Newton and Grinch got into the parked Bugatti and drove out of the compound."Call the manager," Newton instructed the hospital receptionist."Pardon?" The receptionist wanted to confirm that she had heard Newton correctly. "I said call your manager, tell him I'm here," he repeated."I'm sorry, but whatever it is you want, you can tell me, and I'll show you to the appropriate area to get the proper attention," the lady replied.Newton stared at her for a momen
The cheerful laughter of students filtering through the air and the soft, melodic chirping of birds in the nearby trees created a serene and calm atmosphere at Bayfield College.For some, these sounds were a mockery of the distinct surge of emotion they felt as they glanced over their grade sheets, which were posted on the large wall in the center of the school."Thank you so much for everything you've done for me," a voice whispered next to Newton as he traced his finger along the rows.Glancing down, he returned a warm smile to the small figure with large brown eyes who stood beside him with a cheerful demeanor.He shifted his attention to the results sheets, "How were your results?" He asked.Allison Cornor hastily reached into her purse, unable to contain the broad grin that spread across her face. "Here, take a look, Newt." She handed Newton her phone, her eyes locked with his, a broad smile on her lips.Taking the phone from Allison, Newton glanced at the screen, his smile widen
To Newton's astonishment, the men in black masks fell lifeless before him, their once threatening presence reduced to mere corpses. Only Robert, Grinch, and Mrs. Elizabeth remained, fear etched on their faces.Startled, Grinch and Robert turned to see a figure with dreadlocks approaching, guns aimed directly at them. It was Drax, the man who had caused Newton so much pain and loss."Grinch, you fool. I knew you were up to no good the moment I laid my eyes on you," Drax's gruff voice boomed through the room, his gaze fixed on the trio of traitors.Confusion filled the air as Grinch questioned Drax, "What's going on, Drax? I thought you hated Mr. Norton too."Drax let out a booming laugh, finding Grinch's statement absurd. "Hate? How could I hate my Father? That man gave me a life I never had. Even you, he provided for you, but look at what you've become. You've fallen so far."Newton's mind reeled, the revelation turning his world upside down. "You killed my father, you devil! What are
The leader of the group, a diminutive figure, stepped forward, his voice laced with authority. "Newton, raise your hands where I can see them," he commanded. It was the same individual who had fled the gunfight earlier, with the Beanies in pursuit.Surprise mingled with confusion on Newton's face as he processed the situation. "How do you know my name?" he asked, his voice tinged with astonishment.Newton's gaze darted around, taking in the sight of his men, weariness etched on their faces as they stood with their hands raised in surrender. Their eyes pleaded with him, seeking guidance and a way out of this perilous predicament.The shockwaves of betrayal reverberated through Newton's being as Grinch, his trusted security leader and friend, stepped away from his side and aligned himself with the enemy. Confusion and disbelief etched deep lines on Newton's face as he stared at Grinch, his voice trembling with a mix of surprise and hurt. "What's going on, Grinch? What do you think you'r
As they approached the remnants of the factory, a scene of desolation greeted them. The charred remains of the once-thriving establishment stood as a testament to the destructive power that had befallen it. dust wisped from the ruins, carrying memories of a fiery past.In the dimly lit expanse of the factory, Willis stood at the far end, his frantic waves beckoning Newton and the team to join him. Newton quickened his pace, followed closely by Grinch and the rest of the team. As they reached Willis, they found him standing over the remnants of a destroyed gas cylinder, the charred metal a stark reminder of the fire that had consumed the area."This looks like the cause of the fire here, boss," Willis exclaimed, his voice tinged with urgency.Newton's eyes scanned the scene, memories resurfacing of their previous visit when they had investigated the Bagwells' altercation in this very place. "Yes, Willis. We have been here before. The fire was caused by a bullet hitting a gas cylinder,
With cautious steps, Newton and his men navigated the desolate ruins of what was once a thriving warehouse. The echoes of their movements mingled with the scent of smoke and dust, creating an eerie atmosphere.The small secured office stood before them, its walls scorched and crumbling from the devastating explosion. Newton's kick sent the door crashing to the ground, his eyes darting around the charred remains of the office.Grinch chuckled softly at the sight. "There goes their precious secured door," he remarked, his voice laced with a hint of satisfaction.As they entered the room, Newton's gaze shifted upward, only to find a void where the roof and air vent had once been. The blast had obliterated any trace of the trigger mechanism that would grant them access to the secret door below."How do we get down there?" Newton voiced his frustration, unsure of the next step without the means to unlock the door.One of Newton's men, his M4 rifle gripped firmly, inquired about the door's w
"Grinch, instruct the men to turn around. We're heading back home. This is not our fight," Newton firmly instructed.Grinch shifted his gaze to Newton, his expression conflicted. "I could have advised that we stay a bit longer and see who wins. Then we could annihilate the winning side since they would have been weakened."Newton shook his head, his voice resolute. "No. Instruct the men to turn around, Grinch. We're heading back!"Just as Newton spoke those words, Arturo emerged from the chaos, boldly walking toward Newton's side, showing no concern for the gunfire erupting around him from the Bagwells' side."Look at that devil!" Grinch yelled, unable to contain his anger and frustration. Before Newton could react, Grinch extended his gun from the window and fired at Arturo. The shot hit Arturo's chest, but it seemed to have little effect on him. With a wicked grin, Arturo retaliated, releasing a hail of bullets toward Newton's entourage, drawing other Beanies into the firefight.Duc
Newton lay on his bed, his eyes wide open as he stared at the exquisite chandelier that hung high in the ceiling, casting a warm glow across his room. The intricate patterns of light danced before his gaze, but his mind was preoccupied with the events that had unfolded since he became the leader of the Angels mob.Thoughts raced through Newton's mind, flashing like fragments of a vivid dream. Memories of his encounters with danger, the loss of Mr. Alfred, the battles with rival factions such as the Lees, Beanies, and Bagwells, all played out in his thoughts. Each experience had tested his mettle and forged him into a stronger and more resilient leader.As his mind meandered through the labyrinth of his memories, one question nagged at him, refusing to be silenced. "Why did Harris die? Who was responsible for his untimely demise?" Newton pondered aloud, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and frustration. The loss of his classmate still weighed heavily on his heart.A name surfac
Excitement filled the room as Newton and Grinch marveled at the key in Newton's hand. Newton swung the necklace back and forth, the key dangling from it, catching the light. Grinch couldn't contain his enthusiasm and quickly stood up from the sofa to join Newton."Guess what I've found, Grinch?" Newton asked, a wide grin spreading across his face.Grinch gasped in anticipation, his eyes widening. "Is that what I think it is?" He leaned closer to examine the key. "It's a key to the box?" he exclaimed, barely containing his excitement.Newton nodded, his smile growing even broader. "Wills never lies. He was right to trust Mr. Anon. The key was indeed with the Cornor family," he confirmed.Taking the key from Newton's hand, Grinch carefully inspected it, marveling at its intricate details. "How much did you have to pay for this piece?" he inquired, his curiosity piqued.Newton maintained his warm smile, his gaze fixed on the key. "I didn't have to pay much for it. Just a small token of ap
Allison raised her gaze to meet Newton's, her expression perplexed. "Everyone knows, Newton. How did you not know? And why is it such a big deal?"Newton's attention was drawn to a tightly strung piece around Allison's neck. His curiosity piqued, his eyes widened in surprise. "May I see your necklace?" he asked, his voice filled with a mix of urgency and intrigue.Allison, unsure of what to make of Newton's sudden shift in behavior, hesitated but eventually acquiesced. She carefully unclasped the necklace and placed it in Newton's hands.Newton's eyes widened in shock as he held the necklace—it was a key, the exact same type he had retrieved from the Lees. The realization sent a jolt of excitement through him, mingled with a sense of apprehension."How long have you had this?" Newton asked, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and urgency, as he held the key in his hand.Allison, still trying to process the unexpected turn of events, replied, "It belonged to my grandfather. It was
