Lecter drove back home. What did Alaric mean when he said that there was someone claiming to be his cousin? Lecter knew that he did not have any cousins, especially those that he never knew.Whatever it was that was happening, Lecter was certain that he would get to the bottom of it.He quickly stepped out of the car as he parked beside the fountain. 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. Anna wasn't there. That was a good thing. Lecter did not want to bother her with such trivial things. But then
"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. You are a stranger that I did not know until today. You came in here to rant about some crazy theories and you brought a strange ring to my bike and now, you're demanding that I wear it.. no, I'm not going to do that," Lecter remained adamant.June sighed."I understand. Even I wouldn't trust me at this point. But you have to know Lecter, that your mother died fighting some very powerful people. And now, her enemies are your enemies. The crown sent me here to tell you. I have done my part.""If there are people that have issues with me, let them come. I'll deal with them," Lecter said to June who smile
"This has taken a different turn. You must find a way to salvage this. Your mother cannot be allowed to have any influence on this matter," Venita told Rex while they sat down together in a restaurant. Rex had ordered the VIP side which afforded some privacy and of course was more expensive. He kept glaring at her while she kept rambling."Do you think that I'm some dumb sod? I know that everything will go to shit if my mother becomes involved. I don't need you to remind me of the obvious," Rex snapped at her."Then what do you need me for? You just told me that your mother is demanding answers. If she becomes aware that Lecter has taken your company, what do you think she will do? She may cut you off the family fund. Do you want to live without the family fund? You will be broke," Venita told him."Of course I know that! I'm not a fool. However, I just don't know how to solve this issue. If my mother is this involved, then my brother Solomon is also in on this. They work side by sid
Lecter sat down in his office and gazed at the ring. Everything that June said began to replay in his mind. He knew that there was a possibility she was saying the truth, but it all sounded too much like lies.And the fact that she has been abducted did not help matters. Lecter knew that if he wanted genuine answers to his questions, he had to find a way to get her back. But where would he start from? There was so much he did not know about her, and security footage from his house didn't have any facial recognitions. It was like up until that mommey, June has been existing as a ghost.Lecter's phone rang. It was Kevin. Lecter had appointed him to be in charge of getting June back. Alaric and Bone did not believe her one bit and Kevin was more open minded."Have you found her yet, kevin?" Lecter asked him."Not yet boss. There's no trace of her. It's like she disappeared or something," Kevin replied.Lecter stood up from his seat and walked to the window to take in a view of the city.
The plane flew to Raven city. Lecter had taken his private jet and although he had the feeling that the Dagger did not believe him when he told them about June's location, he knew he just had to show them.Lecter sat at the back of the jet, glaring at the ring which now looked like a piece of artifact. The ring constantly gave off faint humes of green color. Lecter considered so many possibilities. That would mean that his mother did not abandon him, everything he has been told was a lie."In life, we have to learn and unlearn," Lecter thought out loud. He wllld come to that later, but first he had to save June."We're here in Raven city," Alaric announced over the PI. As soon as the plan touched ground, Lecter took out his gun. It was a special pistol made specifically for him. It had range and a chamber for one hundred bullets."Everyone, follow me," Lecter said and stepped down. The Daggers followed him down the plane. Lecter inhaled and looked around while standing, then he touche
Venita picked up the phone and dialed Cara's number. Ever since Cara returned to the hotel she booked, Venita has had this depth of loneliness within her. She could not understand it because until then, she had not had much use for friends."Venita, darling, how are you today?" Cara asked and Venita sighed."Honestly, I am fucking terrible. All of my plans are just going the wrong way and there's nothing that I can do to stop it," she said with a sigh."What happened Venita? You seem stressed. Is this about Lecter again? Do you need me to come over?" She asked but Venita flinched at the idea."No, you don't have to. And of course it's about Lecter! He's the very bane of my existence. And not just that, there's trouble brewing in Rex's side as well. Turns out, he has a younger Brother who is attractive as hell and they are in a power tusel. Somehow, I think I've ended up being at the center of it all," Venita said to Cara who giggled."You don't say! So, now what? What do you plan on d
"We just received news that the former CEO of Rex Incorporated has been found dead in his apartment as a result of an overdose. Authorities are currently looking into the matter and his family is yet to release any official statement regarding the incident..."Lecter watched the news while the reporter gave full details on Rex's death. He furrowed his brows while he listened carefully. Something was not adding up. He knew that Rex was obviously upset about losing the company, but he was not suicidal.Someone killed Rex, but who was it? Lecter's phone began to ring afterward. It was Bruce calling. Lecter picked up the phone."Detective," Lecter said."Mr James. Have you seen the news?" He asked Lecter."Be specific, detective. Lots of things happen in this city," he said to Bruce who sighed."The death of Mr Rex. There is something brewing in the shadows and I thought to let you know first. They are trying to rule Rex's death as a murder. Turns out in fact, that he was deliberately ove
"I can't believe you did this to me! How could you, Cara, set me up with Solomon? What the heck is wrong with you?" Venita blew hot while she stood before Cara in her hotel room."Oh, for God's sake Venita, quit being a baby. Don't pretend like you do not like the attention that you are getting. Right now, you have Solomon, who is the most eligible between both brothers swooning over you. I did you a favor,""No. You only connected us because there was something for you to gain from it. So, tell me, what exactly did Solomon promise you? What is he offering?" She asked Cara."Nothing he hasn't always offered. Stability. A good life. Business that doesn't involve me whoring myself. And oh, perhaps all of those things are what you could have offered should you be a good friend." Cara accused. Venita chuckled."Are you trying to blame me for your misfortunes? Don't forget Cara, I have been your friend since day one...""A terrible friend you have been! You only remember to contact me when
