Drake arrived to pick me up at noon, and after having lunch, we set off together. I couldn't shake off the feeling of confusion about why I was the one escorting him. I mean, if it’s about strength, then I might be the one who would need his protection, and he’s already far sharper than me when it comes to strategy-making. “Am I developing some kind of inferiority complex?” I pondered, staring out of the window.
“Is something bothering you?” Drake asked, his eyes focused on the road.
“You know… Just confused as to why I'm the one escorting you. I mean, you didn’t bring any guards with you here,” I inquired, turning to face him.
“Guards? Why would we need them? We're just going to meet Lucas and will come back as soon as we're done. Also, if you're wo
Approximately fourteen people were approaching us, but after hearing Drake’s warning, five of them backed down. Perhaps it was due to his overwhelming killing aura, too powerful for a normal person to confront. The remaining nine people decided to charge at once. A big, fat guy, wielding a sharp shushikiri, attempted to attack Drake first.Drake's muscles tensed as he stepped back, then he grabbed the fat guy’s hand and started squeezing. The fat guy tried to free himself by attacking with his other hand, but that turned out to be the worst move he could have made. Everyone intending to attack stopped in their tracks when they saw their most formidable member immobilized. Drake effortlessly twisted both of the fat guy’s hands, dislocating his hand bones. The shushikiri fell from his grip, and he screamed so loudly that the others stepped back in fear. Despite this, they decided to charge him again, all at once this time. Drake remained composed, and as they attacked, he evaded and co
When we reached the hacker’s home, three people were sprawled out on the ground and sofa, clearly exhausted from overwork. One of them was still sitting in front of a computer. Drake approached him, and as soon as the hacker noticed Drake, he stood up and greeted him with respect. He completely ignored me until Drake called me over. I didn’t mind; the guy looked like he could collapse at any moment. Empty energy drink cans were scattered all over his table.“Man! You sure worked all night, it seems,” I said in surprise.“Ah, yes… That guy’s phone had some tight security, and we almost got exposed once because the police were tracking his phone. So we had to track the police data as well in order to find an opening,” he explained.“So were you able to unlock his phone and get the details?” Drake asked.“About that…” the hacker said, sitting back down in front of his computer.Drake and I stood behind him as he opened a gallery folder and showed us some unusual pictures of Michel.“What
It was raining that night in Memphis, USA. It was midnight at 00:05 on February 14th, 2022. I was doing my night job at Earnestine & Hazel's restaurant, getting orders from customers and cleaning the table while thinking about my girlfriend.I had to leave my girlfriend because of this gig because the pay was good. I decided that I’ll take her on a date at noon or evening and will give her a beautiful present as an apology.A couple was sitting beside the wall. The wall was made up of mirrors so both sides could see through it.“Excuse me! Can you get our order please?” The boy requestedI went straight to them to get the orders. They were checking on the menu again to make sure what they wanted to order.“Bring us Grit Stixs for appetizers, and then bring 1 Chili con carne, 1 Willie T's Shrimp Pasta for me and.” The boy said.“1 stoned soul picnic for me.” The girl, sitting in front of the man, ordered.“Ok! Let me recheck, you need Grit stixs then 1 chili con carne, 1 Willie T’s Shr
When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on a hospital bed all alone. No one was found. My head was aching so much because of the injury, and I got a plaster on my left leg too. After some time, a female nurse came to check on me. As soon as she saw me conscious, she called the doctor, and he checked my injuries. “You will be fit like before in the next couple of months, so rest up and take it easy.” Doctor said, I wasn’t able to talk, so I was just staring at him, hoping that he'd tell me who dropped me here. “Oh yes, a girl left you here. She said she found you on the road unconscious with this major injury, so she admitted you here. She has paid for the treatment, so don’t worry about it.” He said I was wondering if the girl was my ex-girlfriend, and afterwards I went to sleep. ** After one month, I was discharged from the hospital though my injuries weren’t healed completely but my plaster was removed. The doctor said that the girl paid for the treatment, but she didn’t
After that call, I enjoyed the whole week. I’ve already decided that whatever that mysterious girl will demand from me, I will give it to her. Even if she asks me to die, I'll do it. I stopped fearing because I had nothing to lose at that time, and thanks to her, I got to see the world I had never seen before. 7 days had passed... I drank a little more than usual that night, and I went to bed as soon as I got home. The same night, at 12 o'clock, someone knocked on the door. I was sleeping deeply on my bed. That stranger unlocked the door and came into my room. He splashed water on my mouth. I suddenly woke up. I saw a man in a black suit standing beside me. Without thinking about anything, I shouted, “Wh--who are you?" And how did you enter my room?” I tried to grab my phone, which was on the table near my bed. The man grabbed my hand and said, Don't worry, sir! I’m here to pick you up.” “Wha--What are you talking about?” I asked. I was a bit drunk, so I totally forgot about the day
I glared at him. "Tsk! I guess it's none of my business." Looking away from Charlie, I addressed the girl directly, "Who are you? Why did you call me here? And why the one million dollars?""So you've come to your senses, have you?" The girl said with a sly smile. "I called you here to propose a deal. That million dollars is just a taste of what you'll gain if you accept." She returned to her seat, her composure unsettling. “As for Who I am. My name is Lisa Greynight, my occupation… you’ll know it soon enough.”"If it involves killing someone, count me out," I said, my voice hard as I met the gaze of her right-hand man."Don't worry," she said, her voice smooth as silk, "if I need someone killed, my boys here can handle it in a blink. As for you, I have a different proposition. I want you to be my dealer and become my... personal faithful dog." The last words were laced with a hint of amusement, sending a shiver down your spine.Fear coiled in your gut, but a sliver of curiosity fl
It took me 2 hours to make a deal with them. Never in a million years had I ever imagined that a beautiful lady like Lisa was going to be my boss. Though, the way she killed that guy within a second gave me chills. I sighed, "I wonder what is going to happen to me in the future. Also come to think of it, is she really a mafia? I used to think that mafias keep their identity hidden that not even their own family members know about them. Jeez! I guess it's a concern for later." I thought about it and went to bed. The next day, I received a job proposal letter. It looked like a normal part-time delivery job at first. There was a contact number of the owner, "Well, since I have to keep my identity hidden I must need to do something so that no-one will get suspicious about me." I thought and called the number.The call was picked up by a man with a gruff voice. "Hello sir, how can I help you?""Is this the Bluffcakes restaurant? I received a job proposal letter from you today," I said."A
Lisa's sweet voice sent shivers down my spine. "Welcome back, Blurb Grimstone," she purred, "or should I say, Jimmy Watson?""You!" I blurted, my voice laced with accusation. "Why'd you give him my fake name? Where'd you even get fake documents?"Drake, a smug grin plastered on his face, took over. "The name's not fake. This here's the real Jimmy Watson. We borrowed his documents and, well, let's just say we updated his picture."Disbelief washed over me. "What? This guy isn't a bad guy?" My voice trembled as I looked at the innocent man on the floor."Of course not!" Drake scoffed. "He just has a similar personality to you, that's all. We offered him a job, some easy money, but he refused. So, well..." he trailed off, his grin widening into a cruel smirk.Seeing red, I lunged towards Lisa, a roar erupting from my throat. "How could you do this? This is messed up!"Before I could reach her, Charlie materialized in front of me, his fist connecting with my gut with a sickening thud. T
