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

    A week later, Rex managed to find the courage to step out of his hiding place. He was extremely cautious despite the fact that the resort had provided a security detail for him."Why don't you stay inside for more days? It's your company and you won't lose it," Venita had told him that morning while he snuggled out of the bed. Within the space of meeting in a week, they had already begun a relationshipVenita saw him as a profitable endeavor, a way to get back at Lecter for humiliating her all over again and a way to land herself some serious cash. Thorn Incorporated was in shambles and they had been too quiet."No one from my company has called me for a week now. I want to know what's happening over there," he said to Venita and got ready.The car soon pulled up in front of Rex Incorporated. Rex dropped from the car, wearing a scowl on his face. He took his ihune and a briefcase while he approached the door.But on getting to the door, the security men stopped him."What is the meani

    "They've taken my fucking company! How could Lecter do that to me? He has taken my company!" Rex yelled and crashed the flowerpot that had been adorning the room. Venita jumped back in fear as the vase shattered on the wall.She stood up from the bed and then approached him."Rex, why don't you just calm down and let's sort this out?" She said to him but he kicked her hand away."Don't tell me what to do. You have no idea how it feels to be in my shoes right now! Do you have any idea how I'm feeling? Do you have any idea?" He asked her and she scoffed."Don't yell at me! I'm just trying to help you here. If you were man enough, you would be handling Lecter James all on your own, but here you are whining like a little child!" She snapped at him. Rex dashed towards her."I will not entertain insults from you. I'm only fucking you. There's nothing special between us," he said to her."Well, better deal with it because there is. I want my revenge against Lecter James as well. Now you do t

    "What are you talking about, detective?" Lecter questioned. Bruce took out some photographs from the bag he was holding."I have been following a very interesting case for months now. Apparently, someone tampered with a body at the crime scene. The victim was a maid for the Braxton family. Officially, they specialize in real estate and things like that. Unofficially, they are drug dealers and arms dealers. This woman in the picture, was a maid for them," he said to Lecter and then showed him the photograph.Lecter gazed at the woman in the picture with intent. There was no mistaking that her face looked familiar, and Lecter just didn't see the possible of her being his mother.His mother was murdered by his father, was she not? "Perhaps it's a coincidence. My mother is dead," he told Bruce."That's the same thing we all thought as well, until now. What if, somehow, your mother survived? What if she has been living somewhere all this time?" Bruce asked him."Well, if she has been, the

    Venita drove to the airport and waited until her friend stepped outside. She was a tall and beautiful woman with large curves and a pretty face. Venita felt a sting of jealousy as Cara, the lady walked towards her. They have been friends since a long time."Venita, my darling," Cara said and quickly gave Venita a hug, squealing while hugging her."You look so beautiful. Divorce looks good on you," Venita commented. Cara smiled with intrigue."Of course it does, Venita. Men are scum. It's better to just meet them, fuck them and leave" she said to Venita."Well, technically, you're a whore, so..." Venita burst out into a fit of laughter and Cara joined her. She did not take any offense whenever someone referred to her as a prostitute. It was, afterall, her job."So, tell me, Venita. Why did you bring me here?" Cara questioned while they got into the car. And as Venita drove off, a frown came upon her face."I need you to do what you do best. Seduce someone and tape it," she said to Cara

    "Are you alright?' Lecter asked Cara while the drug started to the effect on her. She tried to keep a straight face but she couldn't. Her vision was getting blurry and she felt her mind going slow."So, why did you want to drug me?" Lecter asked her. Cara gazed at him in shock when she managed to put together what has happened between them. "When...did you s... switch the drinks!" She asked him and Lecter smiled."You know, you were very good. If not for my instincts, I wouldn't have suspected that you have drugged my drink. But here we are. Who sent you? I know that you did not come here on your own. Someone sent you, didn't they?" Lecter asked her. Cara's mind raced with so many questions. She wanted to answer, the drug was compelling her to answer. But that was not the first time that she had taken that drug. With the last bit of sanity that she had, she blurted out."Rex... Rex sent me. He sent me to drug you and get you to bed. Then make a video about your infidelity and publish

    "Fuck! What does she want me for?" Rex opined. He started pacing around as he dropped the phone. Its been A very long time since he last saw his mother, despite the fact that they lived in the same city. Rex decided not to go. He didn't want to see her.Another Chime followed the first one and Rex went to check the phone."Either you come, or I will track you down and pay you a visit myself," she added. Rex sighed.

Standing by the door was Alaric and Bone who were discussing something. When they saw him, they stepped down to meet with him."Boss," Alaric said to him. "Where is she?" Lecter asked him "She's inside, sitting. Kevin is standing guard over her in there. We gotta tell you boss, she looks like she needs a mental hospital," he added and Lecter gave him a nod."I think that I will be the judge of that," Lecter told them and then stepped inside.As soon as the door opened, Lecter quickly scrutinized the environment with his eyes.

    "Pick up the ring Lecter. Wear it. It will show you everything that you need to know. " She said to him and Lecter gazed at her with intrigue."I'm not going to do that," Lecter replied to her. June scoffed in frustration."How do you mean? What are you talking about? Do not underestimate the Braxtons. They are very powerful...""I am not underestimating anyone, June. I'm being careful.

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
