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
Carina's statement made Lecter chuckle. She felt quite embarrassed as he approached her, and whispered into her ear."Do you think that I'd trust you enough to ever make a deal with you? You're the daughter of my enemy. You came into my family with the sole aim of destroying it. And that is still your aim. I don't trust a word that comes out of your mouth," Lecter said to her. "I knew you wouldn't believe me. But I am saying the truth. It's in my heart. I am willing to betray my father just for you. He has become different. Unstable. I fear he now posses a danger to everyone including himself, and I know that you can somehow prevent that from happening," she added.Lecter scoffed."Funny hearing those things from you. But you do not even believe these words you're saying. When you have mustered the courage to believe them, come to me. Perhaps then, we'd have an agreement."Lecter turned away from her and started walking towards the veil."Until then, stay away from my family Carina.
"It doesn't matter what you say. I will never betray my father," Carina said to Joe and sighed."Are you blind, Carina? He doesn't care about you. You have the chance to take everything that he has and then turn it into your own image. You can do everything your father has the potential of doing. You said it yourself, the ring is linked to blood. Do not waste this chance," Joe told her. Carina rolled her eyes."Do you give up on people just because they have offended you once? People make mistakes. We have to give them the chance to change," Carina fought back."I do not believe that people can change," Joe retorted."Is that why you killed your mother? Just because you have no regards for family doesn't mean that I should do the same. We are different people, Joe. You have no idea where I'm coming from. When my mother died, the idea that I had a father somewhere was the only thing that kept me going. And yes, although I was just conceived in a one night stand, that didn't matter. I k
It's been days since the terrible encounter that murrel had with Lecter. Ever since then he would sit on the living room alone as anger and hatred clouded his mind. He could tell that he was getting truly self destruct and he had to do something about it soon, or he would lose his sanity. And murrell found a way. A terrible way to actualize his dreams. "You sent for me , father?" Carina asked as she sat down, gazing at her father while he watched her like a hawk. She was getting unnerved by his sudden focus on her. "Father, is everything alright?" She asked again. "Everything is not alright. I have been disgraced. My crown has been stolen by my enemies. How can everything be alright?" Murrel snapped and she rolled her eyes. "Maybe it's time you let it all go father. We have tried to do all the things that you envisioned, but it didn't work out. There comes a time in life when we must move on from the things that no longer serve us," she said to him but murrell snapped "Don't you
"What is it that your father wants from me?" Lecter asked Carina when she had settled into the house that Lecter had arranged for her."He wants your ring. He believes that you are too powerful. He tried to sacrifice me as well for a ritual that would require him stealing every last bit of my DNA but I ran. It would have killed me," Carina said and sighed."I must have underestimated just how evil your father is. To think of doing something like that to you is absurd! How could he want to trade the gift of friendship over family?" Lecter asked puzzled.. it was simply astounding for him."I don't know. But here we are. You must stop him at all costs, Lecter. No matter what happens" Carina urged him on and Lecter nodded.He left the house with Bone who sighed."What should I do with her?" Bone asked Lecter."Keep an eye on her at all times. I'm still to decipher what her role is in all of this," Lecter said to him and Bone nodded.***Two days later, it was been quiet. Lecter had gone t
Chapter 125Joe had escaped from the prison and no one knew, along with him, he had also take the supernatural ring that belonged to Murrell. He had gone straight to Carina.Carina had asked him what he was doing at her house and Joe who was blinded by rage started accusing saying thing she didn’t understand which led to an argument, a very heated one.Carina tried to get him out of her house but Joe didn’t budge, he looked at her sinisterly, all Carina could see in his eyes was darkness, he with the ring in his finger, Joe gave Carina an unexpected blow that sent her flying to the ceiling and landing on the wooden floor hard. Weakly, she tried to raise her hands but couldn’t, Carina couldn’t lift her fingers, with shaky breath.She begged Joe to leave her alone but he only laughed at her and mimicked her the way she was begging him.“And what if I don’t decide to spare you what’s gonna happen?”“Please. I beg.” Carina said weakly but Joe laughed, he kicked her so she could lay on h
