The Almighty General 42
Max's POV. I try to lift Angelo off the ground but he's very heavy, too heavy.“Stay right here, I'm going to call an ambulance." I tell him and he rolls on his back. He's loosing so much blood and it's oozing out of him and forming a pool from beneath him. I get a phone and I call an ambulance. I run back to Angelo and he's not laying on the floor anymore. I don't know where he is. I see a trail of blood and I follow it outside and to the parking lot. I see Angelo walking to his car.“You should have told me that you could walk." I say to him and he grunts.“Drive." He tells me. I jump into the car and I drive to the hospital as we arrive in the hospital and they take him to the operation room. I thought of what would happen if he dies. My plan isn't coming to life if he dies." You dare not die Angelo." I say and I go downstairs to wait in the lobby. I didn't know what to think of this case.The detective shot him, they wouldn't take him in even if w

Angelo's POV I stop in one of the filthiest bars in the city. I get down from my car and the sudden feeling of someone watching me floods through me, I turn around but I don't see anybody. I walk into the bar with my bag. I'm sure that my gun is in there and the silencer too. The lights in the bar are dark green and blue, I can see people actively dancing on the dance floor. Everywhere smells like smoke and stale alcohol. I look around scanning figures that could pass as Hans. It takes half an hour before I see someone, he looks young and vibrant…like an athlete, he could pass as Hans. I stand up quickly and head for the dance floor where he's just starting to dance with a girl.“Hey." I say to him. He doesn't hear me so I raise my voice higher. “Hey." I say again and he stops dancing to turn to me. He's pretty, but not as good looking as Hans.“Are you interested in lighting some spliffs?." I ask him and he crinks his nose and his brows crease.“I'm sorry I'm not

Angelo's POV I take a step towards my bedroom and I hear my phone ringing. It Max.“Hello." I say into the phone.“The detective called, they ran the test and found nothing." He told me.“When did he call." I asked him.“He called just a few minutes ago. It was pretty late and I wondered if he ever sleeps." Max says. I looked down at my foot.“Did you do it?." He asked me. I knew the question was coming.“No." I told him.“Why not?." He asked.“I found someone that was built like Hans, they would probably be the same age but I couldn't do it." I say again rubbing my eye brows.“Why?."“He played basketball." I told him.“What, you have a thing for basket ballers?." He asked me laughing afterwards.“No. I don't have a thing for basketball players. My younger brother used to play basketball." I told him.“Then what?." He asked me insensitively.“Then he started doing drugs and quit from the academy. He died during a shootout." I told him and there was a pause.“I'm sorry." Max s

It's seven am. I hear a knock on my door. I walk to the door and I open it.“Did you hear the news." Amarà asked me. I shook my head." I woke up a few minutes ago, no I didn't hear the news." I say to her. She looks like she had slept like a baby." Did you get any sleep last night?. " I ask her. She dosen't reply. She's stretching a cup of coffee towards me and she's sipping from another cup.“Thank you." I say to her and she nods.. “what happened in the news, anything serious?." I ask her.“Yeah. You know the Nathans?." She asked me.“I don't think I do." I tell her. The coffee is really good.“Their twenty two your old son, Josh, Ran off yesterday after an argument. He's missing. He didn't return home last night." I feel a sense of nostalgia.“The media is making the public go crazy. Two disappearance, two Billionaires, two boys who are the same age. And we have no leads." She says." Do you think Angelo did it. Let me see a picture of the boy." I say to her and she s

I walk out of the door and he's standing there, just staring at nothing.“ I thought you had gone." I said to him and he dosen't reply.“When does your boss get back?." He asks me.“I don't know." I tell him.“We better get going." He says to me I lead the way towards the express road.***Angelo's POV I reach the hideout and I lunge out of my car. I try to open the door but it's locked, I don't have the key I had given it to Oliver.“Bloody Oliver." I curse under my voice and I try to break the door. I turn around and I look through the windows, I'm pretty sure that the house is empty. I walk back to my car and I sit and think.If they went by foot, they wouldn't be so far by now, if I drive I could find them, but I didn't find them when I was coming here. I kick my car and I feel the pain in my foot. I yell out of anger. I look around and I finally decide to drive to see if I would be successful in finding them, that bastard Oliver. He must have seen the ne

Toby's POV I step down from the SUV, another SUV is following behind us. Men emerge wearing suits and before I can blink, Mrs Nathan runs down from the SUV and she hugs her son tightly. He looks at each and every one of us then he turns to the other guy who is practically walking backwards slowly.“Meet my friend, Oliver, he saved my life." He says and his mother runs towards Oliver and hugs him.“Oh thank you Oliver." She says crying and smearing her tears all over his shirt. I'm the first to hear the rum of an engine because I'm the only person detached from the scene. I turn around and I definitely see a black Mercedes. “That's Angelo." I say and everybody turns around in time to see Angelo back up and drive the other way. A car follows behind him, I couldn't run after him because I hear my phone ringing.“Hello, have you found him?." Amarà asks.“Yeah, we have." I reply her.“Did someone deliver him?." She asks me and I turned to look at Oliver, he's staring

Toby's POVI'm sitting in the SUV and Dallas is sitting right next to me staring at the screen, he's chewing gum, I can smell the minty flavour. I hate mint. I turn away from him and face the screen, I can barely see a thing. It's raining heavily and we're at the location of the drop off.“You think the kidnapper would provide Hans alive?." He asks me.“I guess so." I reply still trying to make out the figure of Max carrying a big bag filled with money.“Seventy million... Rich assholes, you know what I'd do with that money?." He asks.“No, what would you do?." I ask him.“I don't know." He says chewing the gum noisily. “Hey, I can not see a thing. I'm going down there to check it out." He tells me taking the ear phones off.“You're not supposed to." I remind him.“How are we gonna catch the criminal if we don't go out and check it out?. " He pulls open the door of the SUV and he jumps down, mud splash from under his foot, the soil is damp from the rain. I watch as he u

It's been two weeks since me and Dallas went in the van to pick up Hans's body and capture the kidnapper. I'm still in bed, I look at the clock, it's 6:57.I hear the door bell ring. I get up from the bed and I walk to the door, I hear knocking on the door. I don't need to check the peep hole to know that it's Amarà that is knocking on my door. I know it's her because she's the only one that thinks to knock at my door at early hours of the day.“It's not even full day break yet." I tell her. She walks past me into the sitting room.“Tell me everything." She says sitting on the couch. She drops her purse on the table, surprisingly she's not holding a cup of coffee. “I told everything already." I said to her. “It doesn't explain why Max had some how found a way to claim everything... Everything Toby. Everything the Ronalds ever owned. Everything Hans worked hard for, his companies…everything." she says. She's as frustrated as i was two weeks ago.“Do you really be
