The Almighty General 32
The mansion still smelled like detergent for some reason. Yellow tapes sprawled everywhere like ribbons and balloons after a child's birthday party. Nobody could crack the case, they tracked him till the top of the stairs like Angelo had said and then his prints disappeared from the railing. He must have been kidnapped, the detective had suggested, he said I should wait for a ransom call. What he didn't know was that I sent those men to kill him and he's nothing but a lazy detective. I haven't gotten a ransom call, I've not gotten anything. That's why I'm here doing my own Investigation. I push through Hans' bedroom half expecting him to be sprawled on his bed, but unfortunately the bed was as he had left it the time the attack begun, empty. I look around searching for a clue that would lead me to where that damned Hans was so that I would get my money. I see a hard cover book that it's cover and body was broken apart. It was laying idly in the corn

I climb down from my car, Amarà had already gotten down. I didn't want her to be my date today but I had no choice but to bring her.“This place is beautiful Max, just look at that mansion." She says gleefully. I can see the light from the mansion on her glassy eyes. I stretch out my hand and she takes it.“Thanks for bringing me. " she says." It's no problem, I want you by my side." I say and she giggled. We don't walk too further when a bunch of paparazzi and reporters started to swarm at us with their microphone in our faces. Cameras flashed their blinding lights. “Mr Walsh, can you tell us about the disappearance of Mr Hans Ronald?." One reported asked the the others had to quiet down to hear my response." I have nothing to say, we're still searching for him, we're doing everything we can to find him. " I tell them." Do you think his parents death was linked with his disappearance, was he kidnapped?." Another reporter asked. " We don't know if he was kidnapped but t

I didn't have time to think, the detective takes the phone from my hand and he puts the call on loud speaker.“I see that you're surprised to find that I got your number... Well all I needed was one of your business cards from one of your casinos.... " My heart stopped beating and started again, my knees felt weak. My mouth was held open, I was in shock because I didn't really think that Hans was really kidnapped. I thought that... What did I think!.Of course he was kidnapped and this is the kidnapper calling for the ransom money. But how could he have been kidnapped if Angelo was in the house... Is Angelo playing me?. I'm getting caught up in my own web.“Mr Max Walsh, speak or I'll do something nasty to your beloved nephew." The detective gestured for me to speak, I walk close to the phone. " Please don't do anything to him. " I say out loud but in my mind I wish they shoot him, please kill him, toture him to death. “I wouldn't harm him, only if you do

My vision is blurry but I can see Angelo smiling like he just won the lottery.“You did what?." I ask Angelo and I hear my phone ringing and I felt it vibrating in my pocket.“Hello." I say Into the phone.“I can't believe that you just left me, everybody saw it... It was a public humiliation." She sounded like she was crying. I roll my eyes and I cut the call.Who cares if everybody saw it, I don't care.“I'm sorry you did what?." I asked turning my attention to Angelo." I called you sir. "He said "You were the one?." I asked him and he nodded.“Affirmative, I was the one that called you... The kidnapper." He says shooting me another smile. " I have questions Angelo, questions that you need to provide answers to or I'll shoot you and this time for real. " I tell him and he frowns." Why would you do that boss?. "he asked me." You're the kidnapper?. " I ask him and he laughs.“No, it's all part of our plan... Remember, we capture some other dude that to looks like Hans an

Kelsey stares at me in confusion, she opens her mouth and them she closes it to open it again and thankfully this time she speaks.“So what you're saying is that Hans Ronald can't just disappear into thin air." She repeats.“Exactly, his prints stop right on the stairs, there and no more. The maids weren't at home the time that they attacked, he was alone in the house. He had just buried his parents that day and the company was handed over to him. What about his parents, they were murdered in the day he disappeared, the day of the attack."" Are you saying that it might be one killer that murdered him and his parents in just one day?. " she asks me." I don't think he has been murder yet, his uncle got a call today from the kidnapper." I tell her." Isn't he supposed to be working with you guys to find his nephew?." She asks." I told him to call me if he gets another call from the kidnapper and i hope he calls." " So what has the uncle got to do with all of this?. “" I don't trust

Kelsey is rubbing her palms together and I can tell that she's nervous.“Kelsey," I begun “I believe that there are rules and I believe that's you wouldn't be harassed in here.. at least. But that's what I believe, please just do this for a day and if you hate it, just tell me and we're quitting." I tell her and she nods her head.“We're quitting." She repeats. She dosen't look at me when she opens the door of the car and pushes her way through as if she's fighting to move forward and a hurricane is pushing her backwards. She doesn't turn around she just hurries inside the building.Angelo's POV I'm walking out of my car when a blue Cadillac stops right In front of the main entrance of the casino. I notice that this is the same Cadillac the detective owns, I'm wondering if he came for his normal snooping around but then a girl with blue hair walks out of the car towards the building. I eye her and I take mental pictures... Then their plan struck me, they could want to enr

I drive quickly and I'm glad when I arrive at the casino In one piece. I walk out of my car and I run into the casino. I look around and I walk towards the private lounge.. “Hey, stop right there mister." One of the bouncers say. I almost roll my eyes.“What?." I asked him. He's above six foot five and he had big arms that doesn't look fitting.“I would need to see your pass before I let you in." He says I didn't have any pass.“I don't have a pass." I say to him amd then he smirks."Then back away, the other sections are open for you but not here. Go play some poker." I look around, he's wasting my time already. I raise my top and he looks down to see my gun.“Let me through right now." I say to him calmly. He raises his own too and I see a gun.“Back the Fuck away mistah." He says to me eying me up and down. I guess doing this the informal way isn't what Is going to save Kelsey after all. I take out my badge and I point it at his face.“Now let me through

I'm sitting on the chair that the guy had thrown me to. I'm scared and every beat of my heart is like pumping iced blood through my veins. There is a leash tied around my neck and the end of the leach is tied to my hand and then connected to my legs, I'm practically bound. I spit out the metallic substance that is heavy on my tongue and I spit out a mouthful of blood. Except from the double chairs in the room, it is completely empty and dark. With only one window. The guy that brought me here is no where to be found. How could he just leave me here and vanish. I try to stand up and walk to the window but then I start to hear sounds coming from outside and the door starts to open and I have to sit down.A man walks into the room. He's somewhere around his late thirties. He's tall and his eyes are big and animated with life. He has rich Chestnut hair and he looks like an actor from a movie and not a guy who would run a casino. He takes the seat in front of me
