**A few hours earlier**

Joe was sitting in his cell, gazing at the roof top while thinking about the terrible things he had had to endure in prison. He was constantly made fun of and bullied by other inmates. It was a funny thing for Joe considering how he used to think that he was invincible.

I have a feeling that you won't find anything on him anyway. June, did my mother never mention anything about the other guardians ever to you or the organization?" Lecter asked her."Your mother was especially against us asking ques about the guardians. If it wasn't necessary for her to tell us about where she got the ring, I'm sure she never would have mentioned the term. I don't think your mother parted with the guardians on a good note. Maybe that's why she was always against us trying to dig into her past," June added. Lecter sighed."Well, if I have an enemy at my door, I have to go into that past and dig it," Lecter voiced out. A dead silence fell on the place as Lecter kept thinking. He wondered if the ring could assist him in getting what he wanted.But then his phone rang and it was an unknown number.

You’ve been hiding behind her all this while, haven’t you?”Lecter’s eyes were cold, calculating. “This ends now, Bruce. No more games.” Bruce laughed, a harsh, mirthless sound. “You think you can take me down? You’re a fool to think so, Lecter.” Lecter moved with lightning speed, closing the distance between them in a heartbeat. He knocked the gun from Bruce’s hand, sending it skidding across the floor. The two men clashed in a brutal hand to

The city was alive before him, a web of lights and life, oblivious to the power struggles that took place within its own shadows.He had fought hard to get where he was, as far as he was concerned, taking over Raphael's organization after the old boss's untimely demise.

He's at an old warehouse on the east side of the city.” “Are you sure?” Lecter asked, his heart pounding. He was ready to give up all his wealth for Anna. “Positive.” Rachel replied. “I’ve been following him. He doesn't know I'm onto him yet.” “Thank you, Rachel. I owe you.” “A million dollars, I’m sure. Just get them out safe.” Rachel said. “I'll keep an eye out and make sure he doesn't slip away.” Lecter hung up and called his bodyguards. “We have a location. I’ll send the coordinates now, move out immediately!” As Lecter and his men sped towards the warehouse, he felt nothing but anger and fear. He couldn’t lose Anna and Mia, especially not to Bruce. Not like this, at least.- - - Bruce was in full panic mode now. He knew it was only a matter of time before Lecter arrived.

    Lecter sat in his upper minimalist office that gave him the best view in the city.

His brows furrowed as he picked up. “Lecter here.” He said, his voice cold. “Hello, old friend.” Came the reply, cold as ice. Lecter's heart skipped a beat. It was Bruce. “What do you want, Bruce?” Lecter asked Cooley. “Straight to the point as always. See, I have something— or rather, someone that belongs to you.” Bruce said, a sinister chuckle following his words. “Two someones, actually.” He laughed like a maniac. Lecter’s grip on the phone tightened. “What are you talking about?” “You might know Anna and Mia.” Bruce said casually, as if he was just discussing the weather.

It's always filled with people and we know this!" He said to the man."Yes boss. However, not this time. The mansion was empty. There was no one there. Not even a dog.
