Snake Eyes did not understand how a criminal who had successfully carter away with merchandise worth hundreds of thousands of dollars will just return it as if it was nothing. He frowned. Besides, when was there ever a time that anybody reported missing merchandise? ''Did we ever have any merchandise stolen recently?'' Snake Eyes asked when he got to the targeted franchise. His men shook their heads. But there was a returned product right there in their store, and nobody could understand when they ever reported anything like that, missing. ''Who brought the product here?'' Snake Eyes asked, but nobody could trace the deliverer of the product either. It was at this point that Snake Eyes suspected that the so-called returned merchandise was fake, and a setup. Before he could alert his men to get rid of the fake merchandise, there was a sudden spark in the product. All the men around took to their heels immediately, including Snake Eyes, and then there was a loud bang in the ai
Bane sat on a bench in the central sector, with the collar of his trench coat raised to conceal his identity. He cursed under his breath while waiting for Don Black to show up. If not that Don Black was acting as if he suspected him so much, nothing would have ever taken him to the public hall. That was the most public place in the city after the general market. Taking a glance at his wristwatch for the umpteenth time in five minutes, Bane was about to reach for his phone and call Don Black, when he spotted Don Black from afar. Don Black had not seen Bane yet, and Bane could see that Don Black and his guard were scanning the area, looking for Bane in the crowded central sector. Because of this, Bane reached for his phone again and called Don Black. ''Where are you? I'm at the central sector,'' Don Black said as soon as he answered Bane's call. ''Walk directly in front of you. I am sitting on the bench at the extreme,'' Bane replied with a gentle tone. He waited until he
''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
