Carina tiptoed into Lecter's bedroom, looking around so that she was caught. For days now, she has been observing that Bone was looking out for her. Growing up alone had made Carina extra vigilant, and because of that, she was able to tell what Bone was doing.She fumbled through the things in Lecter's room but there was nothing there to signify that the ring resided within the room. The she went on to Anna's things. Maybe Lecter decided to get creative when hiding the ring. After turning everything, nothing showed up and Anna was frustrated."Fuck!" She cursed. A stream of frustration shot through her entire body, and the thought of failure, of disappointing her father made her shudder."What are you doing here?" Lecter suddenly asked her and she gasped. Carina froze on the spot, unsure of what to do."I asked a question. What are you doing here?" Lecter asked again and stepped closer to her. Carina braced herself for turmoil.She knew she could not lie. Lecter would figure it out on

The assassin stepped into Lecter's house in the dead of night, taking extra precautions to avoid getting seen by the Dagger. He had been warned about how exceptional they are and he was not ready to get into a fight with them.Plus, the assassin was alone. Any form of confrontation would result in his immediate demise. The assassin's rules were simple.

Just as he was about to shoot, the door blasted open

"It was Ahmad!" The assassin screamed at the top of his voice while the pain burned through his body. He screamed screamed and wriggled, unsure of what to do as the pain kept building."Ahmad? The tramp they came for a deal with me and I refused? How does that warrant an assassination attempt?" Lecter asked."I don't know. All I know is that he contacted me to kill you at first, but then he changed his mind and said to kill your wife instead. He said that will devastate you more," the assassin replied"And how did you know the room to go to?" Alaric asked the assassin."Ahmad provided all the details. He knew what to do. I was only paid to do the job I swear!" The assassin yelled."So, that means Ahmad I working with someone else. Possibly someone who has access to what happens inside the house." Lecter said and shot a glare at Carina. She caught his eyes and scoffed."I can't believe you suspect me sir. I saved your wife. I put myself in harm's way. Would I have done that if I provid

Bruce had received information about an accident that occured at the turning square junction in which a man was shot right in the head afterwards. He quickly picked his things as he stepped out to cover the scene."Going somewhere Detective?" John, the troublesome detective that has been giving him a hard time decided to make a fuss that morning. Bruce just sighed."Leave me alone today. I ain't got no time for your nonsense," he replied to him as he attempted to walk away."But I do you. Where are you going? Did the captain instruct you to solve the assassination scene today?" He asked Bruce who did not reply to him. Bruce just kept walking."And that is how you treat attempts at friendships? Typical!" John replied"What the fuck do you want from me man? Leave me alone. I ain't your friend. I'll never be. You're just some spoilt brat that got lucky with his first case and got propelled into a world of fame too quickly. I have been where you are before. I've lived your life and I must

Joe had just parked outside the hospital that housed his mother. He could still hear Morris words from the argument, how they tore him apart like venom. Joe tried to forget about the words but still, he found himself hearing Morris' voice over and over."... you're not my son!" The same statement that fixed in his mind. A terrible twist of fate. Joe did not know what to do with that knowledge, but he was certain that he would set himself free of the pain one way or another.Just then, his phone rang. Joe looked at the phone and saw Venita's name showing on the screen. He bounced the call and attempted to step outside the car when the phone rang again.Finally, Joe picked up the phone "What do you want? To gloat?" He asked her."I called to see how you're doing. To know how…""Well I'm taking it?" He asked and chuckled. Venita sighed."I did not ask for this to happen Joe. No one did. But you decided to ruin everything by challenging father." Venita replied."Tell me dear sister, did

Bruce was still sorting through some files in the office when the door to his office was flung open. He raised his head in surprise to see Venita standing there with tears in her eyes, panting."What sort of a useless detective are you? Why can't you do your fucking job!" She screamed at him. Bruce arched his brow."Excuse me ma'am, that's an inappropriate thing to say," he replied to her. Venita scoffed and wiped some tears off her face."I will talk to you however I want. Do you have any idea what has happened? My mother is dead! She was killed in the hospital!" She screamed again. Bruce was taken aback by the statement. "What?" He asked."Killed, in cold blood, shot in the head by no other but my brother Joe! The very same Joe that I admonished you to return back to prison as soon as possible, but yuu didn't. Now he has come to kill my mother." Venita said and took a seat."How did you know he's the one?" Bruce asked her."I saw the tapes. There's a camera that recorded the events

Lecter was still furious when his phone rang. It was a strange number and he bounced the call at first. The phone rang again, and that made Lecter grabb the phone and pick up the call."Who's this?" Lecter asked. "Lecter James. How are you enjoying the bombshell that just fell on your table this morning?" Murrell asked Lecter over the phone with a snicker. Lecter chuckled and sat down, gazing at the window."Murrel. For someone with three guardian rings, you're a loud mouth. Why don't you show yourself and let's talk like the men we are? Or are you afraid?" Lecter asked him and murrell laughed."Afraid of who? You? Oh, Lecter. You have no idea what I have in store for you. I don't just want to destroy you, I want to end you completely. The whole world will witness the fall of Lecter James, their triumphant hero, and I will emerge from your ashes, a stronger and better version of you," Murrell stated with certainty."For someone who wishes to be the better me, you don't do a lot. Your

"Steal the power for myself? How do you propose I do that?" Carina asked joe. He looked around just to make sure that Murrell wasn't watching before he leaned in closer to Carina and whispered into her ears."Steal his rings and take them for yourself," he said to her and her eyes opened wide."What? Do you know that such statements can result in your immediate end? You shouldn't say things like that. What if he heard you?" Carina asked Joe."But you know I'm not wrong. Your father needs to be vintrike.. right now, I am starting to see why his old buddid rebelled against him and locked him up. Your father is unstable, his mindset places him in a self destruct mode and not only will he go down, he will drag the rest of us with him," Joe told her. Carina sighed."Even if I do decide to take the rings, I have no way of controlling it. I may not even know what to do with it. That much power in my hands could destroy me too!" She objected."You're afraid of the unknown. I was too, a long t

We have to go now," Liana, Lecter's daughter called out from the car.Anna smiled while Lecter approached with a briefcase at hand."I can tell them to come perform for you here at the mansion, my princess," Lecter said to Liana but she rolled her eyes and pouted."It wouldn't be the same, dad. I want to watch the show with my friends too," Liana replied."Your daughter is very stubborn, Lecter James," Anna stretched forth her hand and took the briefcase from Lecter before he proceeded to kiss her lips."I wonder where she got that from," Lecter said sarcastically and Anna scoffed. They soon got into the car and zoomed off. Along the way, Lecter's phone rang. It was the president."Mr President, you honor me with your call," Lecter said."Mr James. I want to personally thank you for what you did for our country. We would have

Rachel’s eyes widened, genuine fear finally breaking through her tough exterior. She was ready to burst into tears when Bruce turned back to her, his gun still in hand. “See what happens to those who cross me? Want to be part of them?” He asked angrily. Before Rachel could respond, the door burst open. Lecter stormed in, his presence filling the room with an electric charge. “Bruce!” He shouted, his voice echoing off the walls. Bruce turned, gun raised, ready to face his nemesis. “Lecter. Finally decided to show your face? 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

Bruce stared out the window of Raphael's former office, which was now his own. 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. But victory felt hollow. Ursula, his sister, had deserted him, leaving him to run the business alone. He scowled, thinking of her betrayal.And besides, he had bigger fish to fry. Lecter. That bastard had managed to slip from his hands the other day, but he wouldn’t be so lucky next time. The door to the office opened, and Bruce turned, expecting one of his new underlings. Instead, Rachel walked in, and Cecil came in after her. He gave Cecil a questioning look, and he responded with shaking his head, so he turned back to Rachael. Her presence was like a punch to the gut. He hadn't seen her since their last heated argument, and her sudden

Lecter picked up the phone. “Lecter, it's Rachel.” She said hurriedly. “I know where Bruce is. 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. He looked at Anna and Mia, who were watching him in silence. “What are we going to do?” Cecil ask

Lecter sat in his upper minimalist office that gave him the best view in the city. The large window that went roof to floor made him feel like he had the entire world at his feet, and currently, that was how he felt. He had just closed a multi million dollar deal and was ready to call it a day when his phone rang. The caller ID showed a number that looked familiar, but he hadn't seen in a while. 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.

Raj's hands trembled as he dialed Anna's number. He had been trying to reach Mia for hours, but her phone went straight to voicemail. He was getting worried."Anna, it's Raj. I need your help," he said, trying to keep his voice calm.Anna's concerned tone was immediate. "Raj, what's wrong?""It's Mia. She left the house a few hours ago to meet with Detective Bruce, but she's not responding to my calls or messages. I'm getting really worried."Anna's pause was brief. "I'll try to reach her. Can you tell me more about what happened?"Raj explained how Mia had been acting strange lately, and how she had received a mysterious message that had shaken her. He told Anna about Mia's decision to meet with Detective Bruce, hoping to uncover some answers."I should have gone with her," Raj said, regret creeping into his voice.Anna reassured him. "You did the right thing, Raj. Mia needed some space. But now, let's focus on finding her."Raj's anxiety grew as Anna went silent, presumably trying t

"Who are you? What do you want? Get your fucking hands off me this instant!" Cecil continued to yell as the people who had taken him led him through a rather long corridor. There was a large cloth over his head but Cecil could definitely feep where he was."I demand you to release me this instant!" He yelled again but none of them said anything. Then they stopped, opened a door and stepped inside a room. They then dropped Cecil on the ground and walked away.Cecil breathed heavily while he tried to make sense of the darkness around him. He heard footsteps approaching him and braced himself."You will regret ever abducting me! I will destroy you!" Cecil snapped. Then the cloth was taken off his head and Bruce's face came into view."You will do yourself a great favor by stopping to make threats. We both know they don't serve you," he said to Cecil who watched him slowly."Detective Bruce? What happened to you?" He asked Bruce who walked to a wooden chair and sat down."I'm not a dete

Cecil drove back home, feeling very satisfied after humiliating the sex worker. He couldn't believe that all what he needed to feel so good was to humiliate someone else, this shifting his position as the humiliated. He drove back to his mansion, the night calling with it's dark embrace. As soon as Cecil parked his car, he stepped down and then looked at his men."Did I have any visitors?" He asked them."Not at all sir. It's been quiet since you left," they replied to him. Cecil grunted and walked into his house grumbling. As he walked, he remembered Lecter and the terrible blow that he'd been dealt. How was it that he hadn't been able to take Lecter out? It didn't make sense to Cecil, and he just found the entire thing very weird. But he proceeded to just go inside.He went into the room where he was keeping Sophia locked up. As soon as he opened the door, Sophia whimpered in fear."Why are you still awake?" He asked her with anger in his voice."Thinking about how to kill you," s

Cecil fumed in his house while he waited for his men to return. He had sent them on a very important mission, one that could possibly turn the tides of the entire drag of power. When Cecil heard that they were back, he quickly rushed down to meet with them. However, the men had a gloomy look on their faces."What is it? What happened?" Cecil asked them. The men exchanged glances before one of them spoke up "Sorry boss, but the house was empty," he said to Cecil."Empty? What do you mean empty? Lecter's mansion is never empty. 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. It was as if they vacated the place," the man replied.Cecil was in shock. There was no way Lecter could have predicted accurately what he wanted to do, right? Or did he have a spy in his house? Someone reporting his works to Lecter?"What did you do about the house?" He asked the man. "We burn
