And two days later, Owen Porter wakes up. But he doesn’t cry like what Alex said. Even after he gets even better, he always looks so at peace. Every time his colleagues pay a visit, he always welcomes them with a peaceful smile. They don’t find anything serious with his condition. But it’s different with Detective Barnes. That fat detective tries to share with him regarding the murder case of Brook Hutchinson. But Owen Porter doesn’t show any interest in following him. “I don’t know why. But I feel like this has some link with the 12 murder cases you have been trying to solve. Everything revolves around Rodolfo Vega, despite the fact that man is already dead. For some reason, it’s all now focused on that man, Alexander Davis.” But Owen Porter doesn’t say a word. His face looks so flat and blank. “Hey, are you following me?” asks Detective Barnes. “Ah?” Owen Porter responds to him with a clueless face. “I’m asking your opinion about the case of Brook Hutchinson here.” “Oh,” repl
Alex sees Sofia leave with a flat face. On the other hand, a few neighbors also observe him from their houses coldly. The same with Nancy and her two friends.Finding two luxury cars of exactly the same type, in front of a house that looked worn out, is an oddity they can’t just ignore.“Is that his girlfriend?” Nancy squints her eyes.“Get real. A woman as beautiful and elegant as that, dating a man like him?” replies her friend.“It must be his boss. And I said it, that car is not his. He is just nothing but a driver,” replies her other friend.Ronnie, who also happens to be there standing at the porch, is chuckling to hear their ignorance.“He is not a driver. That man is a CEO of some big biscuit company.”“What?”All the three ladies look back toward Ronnie with their disbelieving faces.“And that woman? She is his ex-wife, the owner of Vintage Vega, the one company who made the 6,000 dollar tote bag I bought for you last month,” continues Ronnie.Nancy’s two friends immediately
Alex follows him outside, and locks the door. But he doesn’t intend to join Harry to visit Darnel. “I’m sorry! I’ve made a promise with my daughter to meet her this morning.” Harry stops and looks back with an unsatisfied look. But Alex just keeps walking toward his car nonchalantly. “I’m a father, and a father shouldn’t break his promise just a few minutes after making it,” continues Alex. Harry sighs, but he realizes that his issue with Darnel is somewhat personal for him. “I can deal with him myself,” says Harry as he walks away, and informs his men to prepare to leave. The two cars leave, but head in different directions. About half an hour later, Alex arrives at Vega’s mansion. Elly has been waiting for him right at the gate, and she welcomes him excitedly. Sofia expects Alex to come out, so that she can get a chance to provoke some communication with him. However, Alex simply waits in his car without giving any greetings, nor sounding a horn either. “Let’s go, Elly! Your
It’s not just money. Georgina also gives him a foldable phone which she has prepared beforehand especially for that husband. That man really has nothing in his pocket at the moment, and he doesn’t have any exact idea what he is going to do after getting out of jail. Regardless of what the wife is expecting of him to do, George Bradley simply accepts the money with a happy face, while he throws the phone up a few times with his stupid smile. “What about that man? The so-called “The Great Pupil” Alexander Davis?” asks George with a hateful tone. “He no longer lives with Sofia anymore. Thanks to your son, they have divorced now.” George Bradely grins with an amused face. “That’s good, but it’s not enough! Two times. He put me into jail two times. I need to pay him back in the most...” “What the hell are you talking about?!” Georgina grumbles immediately. “The second time you got to jail was because of your own stupidity, kidnapping a whore from a brothel.” “Hey, hey! That’s not the
Alex finds Nelson’s anxiety a bit unreasonable, because Harry Gaines is considered as the Top G in Sydney. After all, he is currently having a talk with Morgan Davis, so he just ignores Nelson’s worries.“You know your dad is a busy man. Why don’t you try to call him later,” replies Alex.[O, okay!]Soon after Nelson ends the call, Alex sighs once with his tired face, which draws Morgan Davis’ interest.“What is it?” asks the old man.“It’s Harry’s son. He is worried about his father, not knowing that Harry Gaines is the most feared man in this city,” explains Alex.“Even the most feared man has a major flaw,” utters Morgan Davis.“Huh?” That last one draws Alex’s curiosity. “Is that the reason you never consider him worthy enough as your disciple?”“I acknowledge his capabilities. He can make quick judgement, and great resolve in a difficult time. But he often easily gets impatient. That alone can cause problems that don't need to exist.”Alex slowly raises both of his eyebrows, seem
A while before Harry Gaines' arrival at Darnel's place.There’s actually an old Suzuki pickup heading to that same place which is located in Billarga Rd, Westleigh, in the middle of the wooden area, quite far from the housing residence. And yes, it’s George Bradley and his partner in crime, Teddy McDonald.“What are we doing here?” asked George.“I’m working here. You actually called me during my work hours,” explained Ted.“Why don’t you just take me to your place first?”“I want to introduce you to someone.”“Who?”“Harry Gaines’ right-hand man.”“What the?”“Easy! He is no longer working for him anymore. That’s why I
Meanwhile, those gunshots had also attracted some of Darnel’s men from the backyard. They came inside, and found George hiding under the table with his pale face.“Who are you?” asked one of them by pointing a gun at him.“I’m just a new guy! You better check inside!” replied George with a shaking voice.Those people rushed inside. A few moments later, gunshot after gunshot began to follow each other.George kept closing his ears with a terrified face, as he prayed to God for that gun fight to immediately end.“Fuck this! Fuck! I should have stayed in prison!”All the workers in the warehouse ran away, leaving Darnel only with his 8 men fighting for their lives in the house. And Ted, he opted to hide in the warehouse while kept observing the situation from one tiny hole in the wall.He could just leave like the others. But he was worrying about his partner in crime. He was the one who took George there, so he couldn’t just leave him.“I hope he doesn’t join that gun fight,” he mumbled
That incident has also reached Detective Barnes. As someone who has been following Harry’s recent activities and business, there’s no way he is going to ignore this.When he arrives at the scene, he sees Harry being carried into an ambulance.“How is his condition?” he asks one officer nearest to him.“It’s hard to say right now. He got two shots in the back, and a fatal wound in his abdomen. The cops who got here earlier noticed him a bit late. He could have died from blood loss.”The place is now filled with NSW Police Force. One of them, who seems to be the leader of the team, notices Detective Barnes’s arrival, and he doesn’t look too happy with it.“This is a gun crime. What is a homicide detective doing here?”“Can't I look around for a moment?” replies Detective Barnes nonchalantly, as he keeps walking to observe the situation.“There’s nothing to investigate. All of them died, so you don’t need to look for the killer here. There’s only one survivor, and I’m doubting if he can
