Underestimated Retribution Chapter 47: Brown's Unfavorable Condition
“Please let me know when you get a lead”. Mark implored inspector Conrad over the phone before placing the phone back in his pocket. He let out a sigh and felt the weight on his shoulders bear down on him with more gravity. Cornelius Shapiro was still nowhere to be found and the police had spared every officer available to comb the city in search of him.Mark shook his head to gain composure and walked back into the hospital’s waiting room where he and Karen had been for over an hour. Neither the doctors nor the nurses had anything to share with them yet, and all Mark could do was pray that his father made it through the surgery alive.Karen looked up to him, with a glimmer of hope shining through her tear filled eyes. When Mark shook his head in the negative, she simply nodded, and broke down in a fit chest racking sobs.“It’s okay, Karen. They’ll find him soon. And whoever is responsible for his disappearance is going to pay dearly. You have my word”. Mark assured her, putting an ar
Underestimated Retribution Chapter 48: The Outrageous Ransom
“The bloody nerve of these bastards? Ten million dollars in cash?” Karen cried out in despair, pacing about Gabriel’s hospital room. The kidnappers has been very plain about their demands: the money or he dies.Phoning the police was completely out of the question, because they had made it clear that any attempt to contact the authorities over the matter would also lead to the same result; death.“It’s okay, Karen. As long as he’s gonna come back alive, nothing’s too much.“You don’t understand. My uncle has incurred a trailer load of debt in the last few years. From insurance companies, to salary rebates, and taxes. I run the accounts so I’ll tell you, it’s really bad”. Karen cried in despair.“Cornelius never mentioned any of this to me”. Gabriel mused quietly to himself.“I’ll pay”. Mark suddenly blurted out. “I’ll take care of the ransom. As long as Mr. Shapiro gets out well and alive. That’s really all that matters now.”“Are you sure? I mean, that’s a lot of money”. Karen began
Underestimated Retribution Chapter 49: Blocked Off The Plan
Jennet sat in tears as she watched the officers haul her son away and into the prison. How did they get here? A pang of guilt stung her heart because she knew the real truth; her son was indeed innocent. Every time he screamed in frustration and anger, it rented a fresh piece of her heart from the seams.But how could she admit to it, especially after she had spoken with the real mastermind behind the crime? The police would be quick to label her as an accomplice.I’m sorry son. Jennet pulled out a handkerchief from her purse and wiped the corners of her eyes.“Get my son out of there, please”. She turned to Devon, who responded with a solemn nod.“I’ll do everything within my power to get him out, starting with gathering the right evidence.”Of course. Jennet broke down into tears at the realization. Bennet clearly hadn’t informed Devon about the peculiarity of the case. Number One was never going to let any evidence point back to him. While Devon consoled her, Jennet’s phone rang f
Underestimated Retribution Chapter 50: Mark & Karen Has Been Kidnapped
The car came to a stop before a construction site in a location Mark suspected to be on the other side of town. The driver didn’t make it any easy to memorize any landmarks, as he made sure to drive in circles until Mark lost track of how many turns they had taken.All through the journey, a man had sat quietly in the passenger seat, never turning back for once to regard them.“We’ll be okay”. Mark promised, holding Karen’s hand in his. He silently prayed that they would be okay eventually. The man sitting in the passenger seat climbed down and held Karen’s side door open.“You both get down from here”. The man said in a gruff voice.He had on a black sleeveless shirt, and looked as thick and large as a rock. His skin was crawling with multiple tattoos and his face had a long scar running down from his forehead, down to the side of his chin.Mark swallowed down his fear and walked in the direction the man nodded towards with his head.“Uncle!” Karen cried out in terror when they arriv
Underestimated Retribution Chapter 51: Saved By The Tracking Button
Mark’s vision was blurry and his head rang with a terrible headache. He squinted his eyes till he could make out the figure of the tattooed man in front of him.“You would let us go first, before I..” He tried to bargain but was shut up by another hard slap from Donnie, that sent his chair flying backwards, and crashing on the floor with a loud thud.“No! Please stop!” Karen cried in anguish. “Please, don’t hurt him anymore. You’ll kill him!” She cried in frustrated anger.“Get him up”. Mark heard the tattooed man instruct Donnie.“Let them go at least”. Mark said, spitting out some blood after he spoke.The tattooed kidnapper walked up to him and crouched low till he was breathing hard into Mark’s face.“You don’t get to make any requests or demands for that matter.”Mark looked away in defiance, the metallic taste of blood mixing with a bitter anger and an equal hunger for revenge, inside his mouth.“Please, I beg you. You've hurt him enough. Just let us go!” Karen cried.“Please, l
Underestimated Retribution Chapter 52: Sacred Parcel For Brown
When Charlie had called her back at the station, Jennet had been in a pretty dark place, one shrouded with guilt and anger. But when she stepped out to meet him waiting in front of the police station like he had said, and this time with a proper BMW saloon car, her mouth nearly fell to the ground from shock.Charlie had been all smiles and sweet spice. “Hello, beautiful”. He had held out a hand to help her down the flight of stairs leading down from the entrance of the building.“I didn’t think you were this close when you said you were in the neighborhood”. Jennet said.“Maybe our stars are aligning again, Jenny”. He gave her that boyish smirk that could melt her heart over, and her mind raced back in time, to when she had almost fallen in love with him.Lord forgive me. Jennet held her heart and conscience in her hands for extra safety. She had wronged the man beside her, the same person who was being so nice and kind, and who had always been so sweet to her.Even now as they sat in
Underestimated Retribution Chapter 53: Tattooed Man Confessions
Brown hesitantly lifted the lid of the cardboard box, his heart pounding wildly against his ribcage. He had almost let out a sigh of relief, after the package didn’t explode in his face, when he discovered a sight that froze him in his tracks. A miniature brown coffin lay inside the box with a note secured to it by a red ribbon. Brown lifted the coffin and placed it on the desk.“What the hell?” One of the officers gasped in shock.Brown gulped down nervously and pried the note loose from the coffin. He lifted it up to the light instead, with his hands as though it weighed a ton, and squinted to read the words drawn in neat cursive.“The soul that sins shall die.” His breath caught in his throat and a wave of anxiety engulfed within his soul. With trembling hands, he dropped the note, his eyes scanning the room frantically, every shadow now a potential threat, every creak of the floorboards became a haunting echo of his fear.***Mark slowly emerged from the haze of unconsciousness,
Underestimated Retribution Chapter 54: Dead Ends, No True Clue
Castillo shrugged his shoulders and resumed speaking. “We picked him up at the party, as agreed, and..”“You shot my father”. Mark finished off the rest of his sentence for him.“What?” Castillo asked with a confused frown.“After you shot my father, you took Mr. Shapiro. That’s what happened, isn’t it?” Mark shot him a vengeful glare.“What’re you talking about, man? Look, you’ve got it all wrong”. Castillo argued in his defense. Mark looked up to inspector Conrad inquisitively.“That’s what he’s been saying all day”. Conrad shook his head.Mark nodded gently, processing the information he had just received. He slammed his hands down on the desk and shot up to his feet, leaning over to look Castillo directly in the eyes.“Liar!” He accused him.“Why the hell would I lie now?” Castillo queried. “I had my instructions straight, and that’s all I followed. Kidnap Cornelius Shapiro and demand a ransom. Why would I kill Gabriel Darius when I could easily have abducted him and mined a fortu
