Dino, maintaining eye contact, admitted, "I want Irrisia back, and I see that working with you might be the best way to make that happen. I'm willing to put aside our differences and be an asset to your crew."Max smiled and looked at him " You know I and Irisia are dating right? And you are here telling it to my face that you want my girlfriend back." Max said with fury.Dino looked at Max and knew he wasn't falling for his apology.Dino, unfazed by Max's anger, replied calmly, "Max, I'm aware of your relationship with Irrisia, but I believe I can offer something valuable to your team. Let's put personal matters aside and focus on the bigger picture. I've got skills that could benefit us all."Max, still skeptical, leaned back in his chair. "Alright, Dino. Let's hear what you're bringing to the table. But remember one wrong move, and you're out."Dino began outlining his plan, detailing his knowledge of Zaco's operations and how he could use that information to their advantage. As he
Dino entered Zaco's house feeling rest assured the job was going on smoothly. He seated, placing his feet on Zaco's table and taking a whiskey he had taken from the bar. " Get your filthy feet off my table and sit down properly dino," Zaco shouted angrily at him. Dino looked at him and smirked, " Very well, whatever you say, boss." "So, how far have you gone with the job? Any update yet?" Zaco asked in anticipation, waiting to hear what Dino had to say. " Well, for starters they are beginning to trust me. Max and some of his crew but Irrisia is still weary about me. She knows too much about me so I'm guessing she is doubting my sincerity. I am trying to buy myself as much time as it takes. And I need you to play along and give me time to sort myself." Dino replied, drinking his whisky.Zico entered the house and smiled seeing the two men talking " Hello, brother. Dino, how is our job going? Any updates?" Zico asked immediately he settled in. " I just briefed Zaco about what is going
Max felt torn between Irrisia and Dino. The Intel given by Dino was all true since he joined their crew. But with irrisia's voice now sounding like a warning bell to his ears was so loud that he wasn't able to ignore it.Max couldn't ignore the doubts creeping into his mind. He called for a private meeting with Dino to gauge his loyalty."Dino, I need to be sure about where your allegiance lies. Irrisia has her concerns, and I can't afford any betrayal within the crew. Talk to me, man," Max demanded, his eyes piercing into Dino's. " You know you can tell me anything. Let me know if Zaco has any hold over you. And I don't want to believe you have gotten over Irrisia. Yes, I can see you are not making any advances but I want us to be on good terms and I believe you have gotten over your feelings for her. Irrisia means a lot to me and I can't share her with any other man." Dino, maintaining his cool facade, responded, "Max, I've risked a lot for this. Zaco is dangerous, and I want him
Dino knew he had to be more convincing for Max to trust him. One day he called Max secretly " I have very vital information for you. One of Zaco's shipments will be coming into the country. It contains illegal drugs and heroin. Zaco deals with hard drugs to make some of his money. I believe if we can call the cops on him, that should give us some time to work things out because he would be released again. He has got some powerful people in the country and they all are behind him." Dino said, trying to be as discreet as he could be.Max looked at him " Are you sure about this? Do you think Zaco is stupid to engage in such activities? I had always thought they were rich. Why would Zaco engage in such a criminal act?" Max asked looking at Dino for some explanations. " I would find out but I don't know. I am only telling you what I heard during his conversations with his dealer. I think we need a plan if we are going to intercept this shipment." Dino added Just as the two were about to
After they were done strategizing about the operation, Dino told them he was leaving. " Let's make sure we meet at the location and Dino, bring your gear," Max told him.As Dino left them, Darius, Max and Eddy made a plan B in case things didn't go as planned "We need to be ready for the worst. My mind is not at peace knowing Dino knows about the plan and I don't know why." Darius said, looking at Max and Eddy. Another plan was sketched out which was Max's plan and it was the main plan unknown to Dino.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Dino got to Zaco's house and felt like a king " I have done the impossible. Max and his crew will be in your hands soon. I told them about your shipment that would be arriving soon." Dino said looking at Zaco." Okay, how does that help us capture Max? I need him as a hostage, I want information out of him." Zaco said looking at Dino. " Well, they would be coming themselves to intercept the cargo. You can ambush and have Max captured." Zaco grinned at the
As the effects of the sleeping darts began to wear off, Zaco and his men slowly stirred, groggy and disoriented. The night air carried the residue of tension as they regained consciousness. Zaco looked around and saw that the shipment was gone. " Damn it!" he said silently, murmuring some words.Zaco, fueled by both anger and determination, rose first. His eyes scanned the surroundings, realizing the betrayal that had unfolded. The quiet darkness around him only intensified his rage. In a swift motion, he gestured to his men to get up, and they all stumbled to their feet. Most of Zaco's men were still drowsy from the sleeping Draft, Eddy had zapped them with.Dino, still in a deep slumber, was dragged by Zaco towards Zico's penthouse. Zaco's grip on Dino's arm was tight, a silent threat that spoke of impending consequences.The journey through the silent corridors was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Zaco's mind was ablaze with fury, and Dino, once a trusted ally, was now a liability.
Max, Darius, and Eddy arrived back at Max's mansion, a mixture of relief and accomplishment washing over them. The cargo they secured proved to be a game-changer, and the message from the mysterious system left them intrigued yet satisfied. As they stepped into the familiar surroundings, Max couldn't contain his excitement. Amy and Irrisia came out of the house at the sound of the car entering the mansion. " Where were you guys? You made us worried." Irrisia said hugging Max and kissing him. " There is nothing to worry about, we boys just went out to have a little bit of fun," Darius told Irrisia. They had planned to have their lips sealed and not tell them anything. Irrisia might get scared of revenge and it wasn't good for her at the moment."Let's celebrate this victory!" Max exclaimed, a wide grin on his face. Amy looked at Darius and she knew something was going on. But since they didn't say much, she kept quiet. Max immediately decided to throw a party, inviting all his coworker
The music pulsated through the air as Max hurriedly followed Irrisia into the main building. The dimly lit corridor echoed with the fading sounds of the party, now drowned by the urgency in Max's footsteps. Irrisia continued walking briskly, her emotions a tumultuous mix of hurt and betrayal. She heard Max call her name several times but she refused to wait."Wait, Irrisia, please! Let me explain," Max pleaded, trying to catch up with her. He could see the hurt in her eyes, and the weight of the night's revelations bore down on him.Irrisia halted, her back still turned to Max. "Explain? How could you keep such secrets from me, Max? I thought we were a team," she said, her voice tinged with disappointment.Max took a deep breath, regret and sincerity in his eyes. "Iris, I had to protect you. The less you knew, the safer you were. I never meant to hurt you. Everything I did was to keep you safe."Irrisia turned to face Max, her eyes searching for truth. "Safe? Max, secrets don't make m
