Scott glanced at the woman's face in confusion. Upon entering into the room, Scott had expected to see Jordan since it was Jordan who invited him in the first place, but it was a strange looking lady instead.

"Don't be afraid, Scott, i just want to ask you a few question." The lady spoke further after noticing the other wasn't coming forward.

Scott stood there for few more seconds before walking towards her and having a seat infront of her. The room was pitch black, only the center which they sat on was lit up by a small dim lamp.

"My nameis Sandra." Sandra introduced in a warm tone. "Shall we begin?" She inquired.

Scott nodded his head in response.

"Okay, Scott, do well to answer ne truthfully because this machine over here detects lies immediately." Sandra informed, pointing towards a small round object on the table.

Catching a glimpse of the object, Scott's heart sunk instantly. If they should ask him anything relating to him and Marie, he won't be able to deny since the machine wo

    The gangs and leaders were so powerful, no one dared to go up against them. Even some police officers's authority doesn't't have effect on some gangs around the city, making them carry out their dirty deeds smoothly.The gang hunter, after knowing all of that still decided to go up against them by killing their members one by one, meaning he must have something under his sleeves that gave him such confidence.And even Scott said it himself, the man was indestructible, and there is no single record of a human being indestructible. "Whoever this person is, he isn't of the ordinary." Jordan spoke with a frightful expression, causing the mouths of the officers to widen in shock."That isn't possible. There is no way the guy could be a supernatural." Perez blurted out. "Scott must have been hallucinating and that lie detector machine must be broken." He added in disbelief."The lie detector machine has never failed us. And with the way Scott spoke, i can tell he wasn't lying." Jordan bell

    "ANYONE WHO ATTEMPTS TO STOP JUSTICE IS ALSO MY ENEMY!"Jordan's heart skipped a beat or two after reading the words on his mirror, and out of fear, he fell down on his butt.His heart racing and cold sweat trickling down his face as he gazed at the mirror. It was obvious that the words were written by fresh human blood and not a mere paint."W-w-what is t-t-this?" Jordan stuttered, his face filled with fear as he read the wordings over and over again.He shifted his gaze around the bathroom to see if anyone was there or perhaps, hiding, but there was no other person there besides him."W-w-what does this mean? W-who wrote this?" Jordan stammered, lifting his body off the floor, his gaze still glued to the mirror infront of him."How did the person get in here? The house was locked, and the doors and windows seems intact, meaning the person didn't force his way in. How then did he enter?" Jordan mumbled to himself in shock.His heart that was once beating fast was now starting to calm

    Jordan exited the elevator and now found himself in a whole new section of the hospital. He advanced forward while glancing at the numbers placed above each rooms to identify them.Jordan kept walking forward, until he saw the number which the lady told him. He took a deeo breath in and out before pushing the door open and walking in.Stepping into the room, Jordan found three of his fellow officers sitting beside a bed where a boy that was covered in white bandages and an oxygen placed on his nose could be seen lying down motionless on the bed.Jordan glanced at each of the men's face and found tears in their eyes."Guys." Jordan spoke up, causing all heads to turn to face him, and he got a better view of their bloodshot red eyes. It was obvious they have been weeping for a while now.Jordan glanced at them for few seconds before advancing forward towards Perez and pulled him in for a hug.Perez wrapped his arms around Jordan and began to let out his tears in his arms."It's okay.

    All heads turned to face Chief Jim after hearing the words he spoke."What is it, Chief?" Jordan inquired with an attentive look."Is everything okay, Chief?" Suarez also chimed in with a question.Chief Jim just sat there with his head bowed down as he pondered on where to start from."First, i have something to show you." Chief Jim spoke, picking up his portable bag from the floor and unzipping it.He opened the bag and placed his hand in, before taking out an object that was wrapped in a white plastic bag.Chief Jim unwrapped the plastic bag, until what looked like a knife was seen.Catching a glimpse of the knife, the rest of the officers's eyes widened in shock."That's.." Jordan uttered in disbelief, stretching his hand forward and retrieving the blade from him. He collected the blade and took a closer look at it."This is the knife being used by the Gang hunter."Jordan was easy to recognize the knife due to the peculiar edge of the blade. The injuries of all the victim was all

    Storming out of the room, Perez held a pistol in his hand which Suarez caught a glimpse of."Just where is he headed?" Jordan questioned, surprised by the other's actions."I do not know. But he left holding a gun in his hand." Suarez responded, also confused by Perez's actions."A gun? Is he going after Scott or Robby?" Jordan intoned in contemplation.There is no other reason for Perez to storm out in anger if it isn't to get revenge for his son. And the two suspects now was Scott Carden and Robby Vasquez, meaning he is definitely going after one of them."Hey, wait up!" Jordan called out as he dashed out of the room to catch up with Perez.Jordan ran through the hallway, bumping into people here and there and apologizing, but didn't stopped running.He kept on running, until he arrved outside the hodpital'd building and now found himself in the compound where different cars could be seen parked there.VROOM!

    Scott moved his gaze towards Marcus who was curently sitting on the cold hard floor, fidgeting in fear.Scott gazed at him with a lifeless look before walking towards him. Seeing the other was now heading towards him, Marcus began to crawl backwards on the floor."Weren't you the one who came here to get revenge? Why then are you sitting there idle?" Scott questioned, bending down infront of Marcus and glared into his eyes.Marcus, who couldn't stand eye contact with Scott, shifted his gaze to the floor and cold sweat could be seen trickling down his face."So, because you think you are rich, you assume that you are far better than the poor?" Scott inquired, grabbing Marcu's cheeks and lifting his head to face him."N-n-no." Marcus stuttered in fear."What do you mean no? You said it yourself in the Baratai restaurant. We poor people doesn't deserve to eat in the same restaurant as you. Those were your exact words." Scott reminded the bastard with a slap across the face, and red handp

But there was nothing he needs to be worried about since the only person he went up against that was apart of the Stormbreaker's gang was Domingo. And right now, Domingo was dead.'Hmm?' Scott mused in awe as he glanced around the shops here and there with people still working tirelessly regarding what time it is.Every single shop has a banner or poster or tag with Ranous Stormbreaker's name and photo on it.'This town must be under the control of Ramous Stormbreaker. That's why no one is panicking even if it's almost midnight, because no gang would dare attack with Ramous Stormbreaker keeping watch.' Scott pondered internally as he was now getting nearer to the mall. He arrived infront of the mall where a big giant gate could

    "You said it yourself, we shouldn't trust anyone in this line of business." Mr. Fernando spoke up. "But don't worry, we will carry out this mission. But just know, if it turns out to be a trap, I'll kill you myself." Mr. Fernando added in a cold and menacing tone."I won't be so stupid to betray a man like you. You might be a Gang Lord but I fear you more than I fear Wombat. I won't let you down." Nadine stated."Alright then." Mr. Fernando nodded as he puffed out smoke. "So when should we carry it out?""Tomorrow night will be perfect." Nadine replied."Tomorrow night.. Got it. I'll let my men know and also give them an order for them to follow." Mr. Fernando stated."Very well, sir. I'll be back tomorrow." Nadine bowed her head slightly before turning around and walking out of the living room.Bolasco watched her leave before shifting his gaze towards Mr. Fernando."Do you really trust her?" Bolasco asked."No, I don't trust her. But I know she won't dare set me up, that's why I am

    Nadine's plan

    In the footage, Scott could be seen sitting on a sofa, and opposite him was Wombat. They were currently in a living room, and Mr. Fernando knew exactly where they were because he had been there before.They were currently talking about how to snatch the weapons from the ship that was supposed to deliver it, and then bring it back to the territory.Mr. Fernando's blood boiled as he watched the clip, and his face was bright red in anger. Even Bolasco who stood by his side had a look of disbelief on his face. He couldn't believe what he was watching right now.At first, he thought Nadine was lying and Scott didn't do what she was accusing him of doing, but with the footage in front of him he realized she was telling the truth."I know how hard this must be for you because you trusted Scott and treated him like a son, but I hope this will teach you a lesson and make you realize you can't trust anyone. As long as you are in this line of business you shouldn't trust anyone but yourself. If

He asked, and the man shook his head."Alright then. Send her in." Mr. Fernando ordered.The man nodded before turning around and walked out of the living room. A few moments after he left, the door opened again and Nadine walked inside.Catching sight of Nadine, Bolasco pulled out his pistol and pointed it towards her head, his finger on the trigger, ready to shoot."Relax, will you? I am not here to fight." Nadine stated with her two hands in the air and a sign of peace."Oh yeah? You made a big mistake coming to our territory alone and unarmed. After what your boss did, give me one reason why I shouldn't blow your brains out right here and now?" Bolasco spat, his pistol still pointed towards Nadine's head."I know you all have been wondering about how Wombat knew about the weapons and also your plan. I know you are also suspecting that

    Bolasco and his men escaped from the island though a ship that was already prepared for them by Dave and his boys. They crashed in a hotel that night, and when the next morning arrived they swiftly went to the tarmac where their aircrafts was and they all entered it one by one.The engines were starter and the aircrafts drove through the runway until it finally took off and began to head to Spain.None of them talked about what happened last night, and none of them mentioned anything about Scott. They all acted like nothing happened as they headed back home."""Several hours later, the aircraft landed on the tarmac in Spain, and they all stepped outside and walked towards the car waiting for them a few meters away.They got into the car and drove off instantly, and after what seemed like forever they finally pulled over in front of the mansion."You all are free to leave now. I'll go in and discuss with Mr. Fernando about all that happened during the mission." Bolasco said.The comra

    Concrete evidence

    Loud panting sounds could be heard as Scott sat there upside down in the car. Bolasco had just abandoned him and fled with the rest of his comrades, but for some reason Scott wasn't shocked by the fact that it happened. It was almost like he expected it to happen.That's how the current world works.People will do whatever they can to survive, even though it means sacrificing someone close to them, be it friends, family, or co-workers.Scott struggled to come out of the car, but he was stuck, and no matter how hard he tried to move he just couldn't.As he was busy struggling, he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching him. Scott glanced out of the window and saw the Sheriff and other officers walking towards the car.When they arrived beside it they bent down and glanced inside."Well, what do we have here?" The Sheriff stated as he pulled out his pistol and cocked it. Scott thought he was going to get shot after watching the sheriff cocked the gun, but instead he pointed it to the

    BOOOOOM!!Explosion sound reverberated throughout the place as two cop cars exploded after crashing. Bolasco didn't relent as he kept firing, aiming to get rid of every single one of them.The rest of the Police cars kept driving zigzag to make it difficult for Bolasco to aim."Keep driving, Matt." The sheriff said as he turned around and grabbed a bazooka from the passenger's seat."Are you sure it's okay to use that? Wouldn't it be too extreme?" The driver asked after noticing the bazooka in the sheriff's hand."Those scumbags killed sheriff Joe, and they just killed four of our comrades. I already gave them the opportunity to turn themselves in but they have chosen the hard way." The sheriff bellowed as he loaded the bazooka and placed it on his right shoulder."Just be careful. That guy has a submachine gun." Matt warned."Get me closer to them." The sheriff ordered, and Matt nodded before hitting the accelerator, and the speed at which the car moved increased.The sheriff pushed

    Scott and Mr. Fernando's men stepped out into the heavy rain, and they swiftly made their way to their cars. They pulled the doors open and stepped inside before shutting the door."Let's get the hell out of here." Bolasco said as he started the engine of the car. "We can't fly back home because of the storm, so we'll have to find a hotel outside this island. We will pass the night there, and when the storm comes and it's no longer raining we'll begin our journey." Bolasco spoke in a commanding tone before driving away, and the remaining cars followed after.They drove through the island under the heavy rain. The place was quiet, and the only sounds that could be heard was that of the cars driving and rain hitting the roofs."Dave mentioned something about this place crawling with cops but for some reason we haven't seen a single cop ever since we arrived." Scott spoke up after a few moments of silence."You are right. I also find it strange. But as long as we haven't gotten into any

    They all got out of their cars and glanced at the church directly in front of them. The building of the church wasn't that grand. The exterior of the building was rough, and just like the rest of the buildings on the island it wasn't painted. A bell tower could also be seen beside the building."Alright, boys. Just remember, they are fucking insane.. and dangerous." Bolasco spoke softly as he placed a cigarette in his mouth and lit it up. "I've told you all what Dave said, so let's just sell this damn opium and get the hell out of here." He added as he puffed out smoke before advancing forward, Scott walking beside him, and the rest of the men were behind.Bolasco pushed the entrance door open and they all stepped inside.The church was filled with wooden chairs. The chairs were arranged in neat rolls, and the statue of holy mary could be seen by the altar. As they scanned the church they caught sight of a group of individuals standing several meters away."There they are. Come on." B

    Something doesn't feel right

    The aircraft landed on a tarmac after what seemed like forever. The doors of the aircrafts were opened and the gangsters stepped outside majestically.There were already three black limousines and four sports cars waiting for them a few meters away, and a group of men in black suits could be seen standing beside the cars."Wait here." Bolasco said to his comrades before shifting his gaze towards Scott. "Come on." He said, and the duo began to advance forward.They walked towards the men standing beside the cars, and when they arrived in front of them they came to a halt."What's good, Dave man?" Bolasco spoke as he made a fist bump with one of the men among the group. The man was clad in a black suit, had a low taper fade, and a bushy beard. His neck was covered in tattoos, and his fingers were filled with gold and silver rings."We've been expecting you, Bolasco. Where is Mr. Fernando?" Dave asked, his voice deep and matured."He has some more important things to do so he couldn't ma
