LECTER JAMES: Rise of the Braveheart Chapter eleven
Lecter was curious to know what the police had found on the crime scene. He was one hundreds percent certain that someone was messing with him at that point. But who was it, Lecter wondered.As his anger fumed, Lecter thought about the things that he would do to the person who dared try to frame him for murder. "I will not be mercify!" Lecter fumed.He drove to the police station and then parked his car on the car park. Then, Lecter stepped down, and walked into the police station. He looked around for detective Bruce until he saw him going over some paperwork.Lecter walked up to him."What's going on?" Lecter asked Bruce without a smile on his face. Detective Bruce smiled, however, Lecter was not in the mood for such gesture."Let's talk in my office, please?" He asked and then led Lecter to a fairly small office with lots of paperwork scattered everywhere. As soon as they settled into their seats, Bruce sighed.He took out a little notebook and a pen, and then gazed at Lecter."Re

"And how do you know it's Lecter himself? It could have been a coincidence, or perhaps a resemblance," Billy, Rand's friend said to him as they enjoyed wine. Since Lecter fired Rand, all he did was drink and smoke till he passed out. Venita barely came around to see him and he was too preoccupied with his habits to notice her absence."I was friends with Lecter for many years. I know it was him. He's the heir to Kent James empire. But I just can't prove it. When was the last time you heard about Lecter?" Rand asked Billy who sighed."Well, never. He and I were never close. Do you remember what he always said about me?" Billy scoffed."He said that you were an opportunist and that you are not someone to be trusted," Rand responded. "Like the fucker knew me!" A furious Billy drank more wine. Rand then thought for some time before he turned to Billy."Why don't we spy on him? Lecter James. If we want to confirm that he is not indeed Lecter Durant, then we can tail him. What do you say?

"I know that look on your face. Something's wrong," Anna said to Lecter as he stepped back into the restaurant. As the place buzzed with people while they thanked their anonymous benefactor, Lecter helped Anna stand."I have to take you to safety. Come with me," he told her. Anna did not object. She just stood up and then followed Lecter outside.As soon as they got outside, Lecter opened the door for Anna to get into the car. While he did so, Lecter observed that a black SUV which had been parked by the side of the street since his discussion with Dylan was still there.Lecter then took out his phone and texted Alaric who was closeby. As Lecter drove off, the SUV wanted to follow, but Alaric blocked the car with his'. Alaric stepped down and approached the driver's seat. He knocked on the window and Billy rolled down the glass."Are you following my boss?" Alaric asked Billy with no chill in his tone. Billy scoffed."What are you talking about? You must have me confused with someone

"Where are you taking me? Where's Lecter?" Anna questioned Dylan while they trudged toward a motel. She had doubts because the place was secluded, and somehow lower than what Lecter would take her to should he want to surprise her."You shall meet with him soon, ma'am. Please, follow me," Dylan told her. Anna sighed and followed. There were some passerby who walked past them, and since she wasn't being coerced, no one said anything.Dylan led Anna to a room. She looked around the secluded place once again and wanted to turn back. But she wanted to know what this surprise was all about still.However, Anna decided to call it off. It was too spooky for her to deal with."That's it. I'm leaving," she said to Dylan, but then he opened the door and she saw a very romantically arranged room with roses, flowers, cakes, wine and sweets.Anna froze. She gazed at the room while a soft music played somewhere inside. Then she exchanged glances with Dylan who smiled all the way."He wanted to do

Chapter 15 The room went silent as Lecter stepped inside; the sight of him exuded power that only he possessed, and everyone else respected him even though some didn’t want him In the position he held. “I gathered y’all here to discuss the replacement of Reginald Heath.” Lecter started, “I know it came as a shock of his demise, and the sooner than letter, we move on and discuss what to do with this shares and how to find a replacement to take over his place.” Lecter explained while everyone sat back and relaxed, intensely looking at him. “But isn’t it too soon to find a replacement?” One of the shareholders said. “Should we sit back and mourn for longer days and let our businesses slacks?” Another shareholder countered the other person. Everyone started to speak at once. “Silence,” Lecter said, his voice merely above a whisper, and everyone’s voice quieted. “I didn’t call a meeting for all of you to bicker with one another,” he kissed his teeth, “shall we proceed to what’s impor

Chapter 16. The next day, Vance didn’t show up at the office early; he took his time in his house, pondering hard on the steps against Lecter. An idea struck him alongside a light bulb; he hurried out of his house to the office in the early afternoon, and he called for his secretary, who was behind him in a second. “I need you to do something for me.” “What’s that, sir?” She asked, holding a pen and some files in her other hand. “I want you to help me work on something,” Vance rubbed his chin, then continued talking, “I want you to fabricate some files of embezzlement, make it a lot of money.” “I don’t understand.” She said, swallowing hard. “There’s someone that has been testing my power and patience. I want to put the person in place.” Vance explained, but it was apparent the secretary wasn’t getting his points, so he explained further. “You’re to fabricate some papers that show embezzlement of money; let it be known that who stole the money is no one other than Lecter Jam

**Days later** Venita was explaining to the cashier what she wanted to do with the loan she was requesting, and she was starting to get frustrated that even with her status, she was being refused. If only she had managed to treat Lecter well, by now, she would be swimming in wealth. "His driver status is good. I might as well hurry to get him back. He can lead me to his boss," Venita let out a frustrating sigh; she didn’t want to waste any more time in the bank and decided to leave; she would ask her father for the money before she went broke. Just as she turned around, walking away, she bumped into a body, and by the time she looked up to apologize. It was Lecter. Venita quickly went down to her knees and began to cry, drawing people’s attention to them. Her acts were causing a scene, and Lecter felt annoyed by her actions. “Baby, please. Take me back; I promise to be a good wife.” Lecter raised a brow to look at her, “You promise?” His voice held some bit of sarcasm. “I k
LECTER JAMES: Rise of the Braveheart Chapter 18
Lecter approached that particular morning with a very wary mindset and he just didn’t understand why. It was probably was because his ex-wife chose to bring about a spectacle surrounding them, putting him in a spotlight he obviously didn’t want. Maybe because he also dreamt about life with Venita before their unfortunate separation, something he had given his all to bury for all eternity. Well, either way, he didn’t sleep well and he wasn’t in the least happy about it. That morning, during breakfast a servant spilled hot coffee on his white collared shirt, nearly burning him. Frustrated, he banged his hands on the table. “Can I just have a fucking break?” He hated bad days as they had possibilities of more horrible things happening throughout the day. Right now, he just didn’t want that. “Sorry,” The servant apologized frantically, stuttering. He shut his eyes, placing his thumb and his index finger on the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath. After managing to gather his em

EpilogueIt's been five years since Lecter defeated Bruce that fateful night. And from that timeframe, a lot of things had happened."Dad, we'll miss the show. 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
