''He asked you to burn my warehouse to prove yourself, and you did?'' Don Black asked Bane with surprise, anger, disappointment, and all sorts of negative emotions. Did Bane really sell him out that cheap? It was difficult to believe. Don Black was glaring at Bane, waiting for a reply. ''Black, can you just let me finish?'' Bane said with a gentle tone.''Just, try not to interrupt me again, so that I can hit the nail on the head and we can get out of this worthless public area,'' Bane added. Don Black nodded and adjusted his weight, then after thinking dramatically for a bit, he sat down beside Bane. Bane turned to look at Don Black and nodded. ''That's more like it,'' he said.''Anyway, the thing is that, when Snake Eyes came up with this suggestion, I refused at first. Of course, I cannot afford to burn your warehouse with my eyes clear, no matter what anyone offers me to do it. But, while I was in that state of mind, you know, Snake Eyes is an extremely eccentric and proud m
{Tut}Don Black kissed his teeth. ''Let me have the damn phone. Let me talk to that scaliwag,'' he said to Bane under his breath.Bane gave Don Black a look as if asking if he was serious about what he was saying.How could Bane allow him to speak with Snake Eyes randomly like that? Of course not. Bane knew that Don Black didn't mean what he said, so he waved him off randomly and answered the phone after placing his index finger on his lips, motioning for Don Black not to utter a word. Don Black was furious. Knowing that the very man that asked for his warehouse to be burned down was on the other end of the phone line. If only Don Black could get close to this worthless man...That was what Don Black was thinking at the moment when he stared at Bane answering the call. ''I thought you would have called me by now,'' Snake Eyes immediately said to Ban over the phone.Bane muttered something incoherently that even he did not understand. ''What are you talking about?'' Snake Eyes a
Magnet, the hacker that Barter hired to look for the person that had been occupying Alina's house and most likely killed her, had made headway with his finding.''Bart! Come to my place I have something to show you,'' Magnet said into the phone to Barter, looking at a wrist massager that he took from Alina's house. ''Say no more,'' Barter said, whispered something into Mr. Ban's ear, and waited for Mr. Ban's response.Mr. Ban raised his head to look at Barter.''Are you sure?'' He asked Barter.Barter nodded.Mr. Ban heaved a deep sigh and looked at Barter.''This is such a wrong time, you know that?'' He said to Barter.''I know, I know, boss. But I have to go now, or else, it might be too late after now. You know how it works boss...'' Barter was saying when Mr. Ban nodded and pat him to stop talking too much. ''Get one of the boys to stay with me,'' he said to Barter and went back to sitting beside Snake Eyes. Barter signaled his next in command and whispered something into his
Magnet was staring at his computer screen as the photo and name of the owner of the fingerprint he had found in Alina's house were loading and revealing from the head to the bust.Magnet squinted, impatiently waiting to see who the person was when he heard the sound of Barter's car outside.He got up quickly to check.Indeed, it was Barter that had arrived.Magnet hurried out to show Barter in.''Welcome bro, what's good?'' Magnet asked with a cheerful tone, but Barter was not in the mood to be cheerful at all.''What's up? Where's the person? Who's the person?'' Barter asked as soon as he saw Magnet. He didn't have time for greetings at all.''Re...'' Magnet was going to tell Barter to relax but he held back.This man's sister had most likely been murdered in cold blood in one of the creepiest fashions he had ever heard of, so Barter had the right, by all means, to be paranoid, anxious, angry, and ready for war.''Alright, come in fam, let's go see it together,'' Magnet said and led
Charles Ban was moving into his newly rented home on a windy evening. He had stopped receiving his usual monthly allocation from his elder brother Mr. Ban because Mr. Ban had asked him to return to where he was coming from before he continued to pay him monthly. ''But the money is mine! As in, it is my entitlement from our parents, so how come you are holding it back?'' Charles Ban asked his elder brother, but Mr. Ban insisted on holding onto that money. ''Your money is safe. I opened another account which I pay the money into, but I put up a standing order that the money would not be touched until twenty-four months has passed. Hopefully, by that time you would have returned to your senses and must have left the country. I don't know why you insist on risking your life,'' Mr. Ban said. Charles Ban's eyes shone in disbelief. ''Two whole years, Damien?'' He asked Mr. Ban. ''Yes. If you accept to go back, I can stop paying into that account, and then continue the drops into your
When Barter returned to Snake Eye's franchise where he had left Mr. Ban to meet with Magnet, he didn't know what to tell Mr. Ban.How would he relate Laura to Alina, his sister? Barter had thought of blaming it on coincidence, but it was too far-fetched. But the closer he got to Mr. Ban, the more he knew that he had to come up with an explanation, something, anything. He had taken permission from Mr. Ban to check on something important that had to do with his sister, so, he definitely had to give Mr. Ban feedback.Mr. Ban was delighted when he saw Barter making his way back to him. He trusted his other bodyguards to an extent, but he only felt safe when Barter was with him. ''How did it go, old sport?'' Mr. Ban asked with a raised voice as he watched Barter walk up to him. Barter was about to open his mouth to say something to Mr. Ban when he noticed Bane.Barter frowned instantly.He frowned as if he had seen something that had a disgusting odor. He looked at Mr. Ban, asking Mr
Laura Ban was on her own now. A totally different person from Laura than anyone had ever known before. She hardly spoke to anyone. Actually, there was no one to speak to anyway, so she stayed by herself most of the time, her thoughts never leaving Greg Chase. The other day at the mall, she was very close to meeting Greg when the horrendous Mr. Ban and his escort stopped her. Laura damn nearly lost her mind. After months of wishing that she would see Greg again, the time her luck managed to shine brightly, Mr. Ban snatched it. Laura, haven accepted her fate as one that was faced with difficulty throughout what was supposed to be the best part of her life, living by herself in a cozy house. A studio apartment with heavy luxury in the interior housed Laura, and she loved it there. Hopefully, no one would ever recognize her there, as the area she chose to live in was secluded from the town. Of course, everyone loved to live inside the town, so that part of town was hardly occupied
"A tour? I'm not about that life, sorry. I am not interested in that," Laura said as she opened the door and stepped out of the car. Charles Ban took a step back to allow Laura some room. "Don't be so hard on a newbie. I don't know anyone around here, and I'm just trying to be friends and ground myself," Charles said. "Sounds like a personal problem. I don't see where I come in," Laura replied. She took another look at Charles Ban and frowned. Why did he look so much like Damien? Laura had tried to ignore it, but the resemblance was too striking for her to ignore. As she walked towards her flat, Charles followed her behind. "What the hell? Are you some sort of creep? If you continue to bother me, I'm going to call the police, so, I suggest you stay the hell away!" Laura said, stepped inside her house, and slammed the door in Charles' face. Charles was so close to the door that it nearly slammed on his face directly. He could feel the impact of the door as it slammed with a lo
