"We were once together. A long time ago. That was before I got a job at his brother's company. Things were pretty normal back then. He was normal. We had dreams together. Aspirations.. when our world collided, it was like we were invincible," Lena stopped while drinking from the cup of calming tea that the servant had made for her.Lecter sat down on the couch opposite to hers and standing besides him was Alaric who also listened carefully to all that was being said."Well, that was until he started to have selfish dreams that no longer involved me. He once shared with me a thought, that someday, as the black sheep of the family, he would return to claim all the wealth that his family never offered to him. I saw that as a moment of silly thoughts. Except, I was wrong." She stopped and sighed."After we broke up, I moved to the city and coincidentally, got a job at his brother's company. While we were dating, he never mentioned the name of the company, not even once. So it got to a poi
Lecter stepped out of the mansion that morning in the usual as he has been doing for seven consecutive days. He wore his health kits and jogged all the way to the outskirts of the town, around certain blocks and then made a push to return by passing through an alley."Boss, how's the run?" Alaric asked over the phone."Stamina is building. Are you in position?" Lecter asked him."Yes boss. We are waiting in the alley. All we need now is for the assassin to show up and we will kill him," Alaric said to Lecter."The assassin has showed up already, Alaric. Infact, he is following me right now as we speak," Lecter said and carefully gazed at the man who had been tailing him for a very long time. The man, like Lecter had disguised to be a runner.Lecter smirked as he kept jogging. The assassination had no idea what awaited him."What do you want us to do now boss? Should we come to you?" Alaric asked but Lecter rocked his head in the negative although Alaric couldn't see it."No. Stay put.
The doorbell to Zhang's mansion rang and the security man by the gate rushed to see who it was. When the man saw the black SUV at the gate, he frowned."State your business," the security man said to Kevin who was driving. At the back of the car was Lecter and Alaric, and sitting with Kevin at the front of the car was Bone."We're here to see the boss. Zhang. Let us pass," Kevin said to the security man who instantly composed himself on seeing Kevin."Oh, it's you? You should have told me the moment you got here. I was beginning to employ protocols on you," the security man joked."Admit it, you've always wanted to do that," Kevin said to him. Then, the security man gazed at the rest of the persons inside the car with a frown."I've never seen them before though," he said to Kevin."They are with me and they're important guests of the boss. Do you wish to keep me waiting here?" Kevin questioned."I just have to follow protocols. The boss said he's not in the mood for guests. That is w
Kevin drove back to the mansion in awe of what he just witnessed. It was still morning at that time, and as he parked the car, Kevin just exhaled.Without saying another word to him, Bone and Alaric stepped out of the car. They went inside while Lecter dropped as well and Kevin followed him closely."So, what do you want me to do now?" He asked Lecter who kept a poker face."What do you want to do?" Lecter asked him. Kevin shrugged his shoulders."I don't really know. It seems like you are asking me to change everything that I have ever been. Killing people has always been what I'm good at. That may be funny but it's true." Kevin said and a servant opened the door to the main building."Did I tell you to do otherwise? You're only changing motivation. There comes a time in life when you must defend yourself against those that wish to do you harm. What I'm giving you, Kevin, is a new purpose," Lecter said to him."I don't know if I can function here. I mean, take a look at Alaric and Bo
"I need to see you. When can we meet?" Kevin said to Mike over the phone. Mike chuckled as he received the call, a tone of amusement in his voice."Kevin. I never thought that I'd hear from you again. I saw what happened with your boss, Zhang. Where are you?" He asked Kevin who sighed."I'm currently somewhere in Lecter James' mansion. He thinks that he can trust me. I even believe that he has recruited me as one of his men," Kevin said to Mike who gasped with excitement. Mike quickly got up from the chair he was sitting on and started pacing around."You found your way into Lecter James house? How did you do it?" He questioned."In case you haven't noticed, I'm a very good assassin sir. Yes, I had to sacrifice Zhang to get this far, but it is totally worth it," Kevin responded."Sacrifice Zhang how? Don't tell me you led Lecter James to his House?" Mike exclaimed."I was made! It was the only way to ensure that the plan continues. We still want to kill Lecter James, right?" Kevin ask
Mike grunted in frustration as the words hit him. Never has he experienced such a defeat in his life. He tried to reach into his pocket to take out his own gun but Mike knew it was fruitless. There was no way he would survive if he decided to engage Lecter in a fight."So what? Now that you've won, what will you do?" He asked Lecter who sighed and took out his gun. He aimed at Mike with a pokerface."Why don't I start by killing you first? Then I'd think of what to do with your body," Lecter told him. Something in Lecter's time told Mike he wasn't bluffing.He took a step back."Killing me won't change anything. There will be more like me, men dedicated toward bringing an end to your life and superiority. You really think that you are above us all, don't you?" He asked Lecter who just exhaled."You are the ones that make the assumption, and when you've made it, your minds cannot handle it and so you seek me out. But be rest assured, Mike, I will crush anyone who attempts to drag me do
"What the fuck is your problem? Are you blind or something?" Venita yelled at Rex as she quickly stepped down from the car. Her eyes were fiery, like she had just had a terrible night and Rex was adding to the troubles. Rex just stood at the side of the road and watched her."Are you deaf? What the fuck is your problem?" She yelled again and walked up to him. "Do you have a death wish or something?" She added. Rex still stood on the spot, breathing heavily."Can I borrow your car?" He suddenly asked her. Venita gasped at the audacity and proceeded to raise her hand to slap him. But then, a bullet flew past her and she gasped.Venita turned around and saw a Dagger running towards them, aiming for the car. Rex quickly grabbed the keys from her hand and jumped into the car."Get in!" He yelled at her and she rushed inside as the bullets kept hitting the car. Then, Rex zoomed off before the final bullet shattered the rear mirror."What the heck is going on? Who are you?" Venita asked but
Bruce hurried back to the station following his encounter with Lecter James. He didn't know what to think or what to expect. What did Lecter mean by someone in the office was trying to frame him?Bruce racked his head for someone that fit into that narrative. Sure, there were some of them, especially Tim. Tim has been a major thorn in Bruce's flesh ever since he came to the station, and honestly, Bruce didn't think that he would be too surprised if the culprit turned out to be Tim.He parked his car by the side of the station and stepped inside. Bruce ignored the greetings from the junior police officers and headed straight for his office.On approaching, he suddenly discovered that the office was slightly unlocked. Bruce took out his gun and approached gently. He heard shuffling sounds inside the office and continued to walk there. Then, with one swift move, Bruce burst the door open."Don't you dare move!" He yelled as he aimed at the person behind the desk. Kenny, his partner quick
