Xavier’s Point of View.
“Someone is looking for you and it’s not about business, he said I should tell you this, you will understand ‘Mrs Jessica’ isn’t that your wife’s name?”
I and mike exchanged gazes and our face hanged immediately,
“Let him in”
He looked at us with narrowed eyes before leaving to call the mysterious man to enter.
I didn’t expect who came in, not that I know him, I was expecting someone lanky and dirty looking or rough with piercing all over his body but this man here is neat and decent looking, I wondered what he wants with my wife.
He said nothing, he just came up to me and dropped something in my table, I looked at him maintaining eye contact, he was wearing a face mask so I can’t identify him at all.
“What is this?”
“All the answers you seek is in there, once you made up your mind contact me here”
He said while dropping his card on my table, after that, he nodded and left, no one talked for a moment, we all had one thing in our head (WHO THE HECK IS HE? )
“Do you know him Xavier?”
Mike was the first one to talk,
“Do you think I know him and am just pretending not to know him?”
“I figured you wouldn’t know him”
He said and looked at the files on my table, I groaned and picked the paper up, I wondered if what he is saying about it concerning Jessica true, no need to ask myself, I just have to open the envelope.
I opened it and Mike stood up and came behind me, I didn’t look at him, I just concentrated on the papers as I opened it, a flash drive fell out first, Mike didn’t waste time grabbing it and inserting into the lap he always carried around with him no matter where he is or was, I brought out the remaining paper, and the first thing that greeted me was Jessica’s face and personal information, it was marked as target.
I started going through the papers one after the other till the voice from the flash drive distracted me,
(The recording…)
“Us this the black horn group leader?”
“Yes”
“Good, someone recommended me to you”
“Okay”
“….. Is this how you answer questions?”
“We are not friends ”
“That’s good”
“….”
“I have a job for you ”
“Okay”
“I want you to infiltrate the house of the CEO of Metro company Mr Xavier McCartney”
“Okay”
“I want you to get a file for me in his safe, something or anything that exposes fraud, embezzlement, you know deepest darkest company’s secret”
“Okay, the pay is…..”
“Am not done, don’t kill anyone if not necessary ”
“Okay ”
“Make the job clean and clear, no one should know you came or left”
“Okay, 500, 000 dollars ”
“Ok, but make my money worth it ”
“Beeeeeppp”
(RECORDING ENDS….)
“Wow, Marcus is really daring”
“More lawsuits for me, I can’t wait to….”
“Hold on there are more”
(Recording starts….)
“What the fuck did I pay you for, to get caught??”
“Sir, we did the job still”
“Did what, when you fucking man is prison?”
“He sent me everything before he was caught, he was caught trying to leave the scene by a woman, I think she is the lady of the house ”
“So you can make sure long sentences ”
“…..”
“So what did he got and make sure he says nothing to the police or else….”
“He got nothing except contracts flies, meeting files and building blue print”
“What do you mean? Am sure there is something ”
“Whoever gave you that Intel is a liar or was deceived or worse it’s a trap”
“So I wasted my time and money for nothing?”
“We don’t do refunds ”
“Make sure your man doesn’t talk or I will handle it myself ”
“Sure, he won’t say anything to the police ”
“Make sure if it, I give you one week or I take matters into my own hands”
“Okay s…..”
(Recording ends …)
“We now know who killed the culprit, Marcus”
“Now I get why he turned against him”
“Black horn gang are known for their brotherhood, they never abandoned each other no matter what, they don’t believe in killing gang members, that culprit wouldn’t have talked regardless so…”
“Its good for us because Marcus being Marcus grew impatient and killed him off”
“And now they are against him, what a great way to make the worst enemy ”
“Sometimes I wonder what goes through his head ”
“He is a fool who bites more than he can chew due to a foolish father ”
“Why did he involve Jessica when I see nothing about her here, oh, there is more”
“Before listening to it, see this files”
I passed the papers over to him to take a look, he gave me a what-is-this eyes, I ignored him and pointed towards the papers with my eyes, he took it and read it one after the other.
“I know Marcus hates you but not to this point of wanting you dead and Jessica, what did she even do to him”
“I will really like the answer to that question myself ”
“Haa, he is completely hopeless ”
“Oh, he even ordered a hit for me, he must have feelings for me, owwh dude am married ”
“Not yet, so don’t say something stupid to make me throw you out of here”
“He really wants you dead, do you think he is responsible for your parents death?”
“I know you are bad at maths but now you are just fucking stupid ”
“What! Not possible he was same age as us then”
“What will he gain from this?”
“The company and his stupid fathers recognition ”
“He has daddy issues?”
“Yes, he does but his grandfather should be more than enough to make him keep his sanity ”
“You know him so well?”
“… We were once friends, best friends”
