Simon and Jake were present in the room with the team of doctors. Leonardo was still lying on the bed. Jake was worried about the young boy on the bed therefore, he asked Simon, "Sir, is he alright?"
Simon didn't respond. The doctor who was preforming a check up on Leonardo ordered his colleagues to leave.
When they left, Simon and Jake gazed upon the man at front. He sat on the stool beside the bed.
"So, the boy is unharmed?" asked Simon.
"As I stated before, yes—the boy is unharmed."
"If you are so sure then why the kid is still asleep?", Jake uttered in anger.
Doctor glanced at Jake for a moment then shifted his gaze towards Simon, "Whatever that guy injected this little kid —it never reached inside his body."
Simon narrowed his eyes, "Show me!" Jake was flabbergasted when he heard the latter response. "SIR! How could you believe this guy? He's clearly lying to hide his failure!", Jake scowled in disapproval.
Simon just raised his hand while his gaze was fixated on doctor, "Show me!" Listening to Simon's response Jake was completely baffled, "I can't believe this!" he averted his gaze and turned to the other side.
While on the other hand, doctor glided the blanket sheet from Leonardo's side where the drip needle was injected. He unwrapped the band-aid.
When Simon saw the result, he closed his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. Beside him Jake remarked, "What are you sighing for Sir?" Simon peeked at the latter and curled his lips upward, "See for yourself!"
Jake was feeling down already but when he heard Simon, he didn't turn around and gave a nonchalant shrug, "What is there to see? We already lost him!"
Simon was shocked by the former's response. He chuckled, while the doctor was watching both of them with interest. Simon stepped forward and patted Jake's shoulder, "Man, can't you at least use your brain for once—didn't I tell you not to be irrational in situations like this —if you don't believe me then see for yourself!"
Sensing confidence in Simon's tone, Jake turned around and looked at Leonardo. The latter noticed the unwrapped band-aid and gaped for a moment. He closed his eyes and kneaded his head. "Shit! I fucked up really bad this time!" he mumbled.
He glanced at the doctor with red ears in complete embarrassment. "Now do you believe me?" Doctor raised his brows. Jake was speechless; he lowered his head in utter shame. Meanwhile, doctor got up and fixed his white overcoat, "I believe I should leave the both of you alone for a while." He stopped beside Simon, "When the everything calms down you know where to find me." And with that said he left the room.
Simon observed Jake and asked, "How are you feeling?"
"I feel like shit!", Jake peeped at Simon and looked away in embarrassment. Simon sat on the couch and said, "You know there is an old saying: Sometimes shit happens! And you can't do a damn thing to stop it from happening."
Ring~
"Hello chief!", said Simon.
"How are things on your side? Is the kid safe?", asked Vincent.
Simon looked at Leonardo who was sleeping peacefully on the bed. "Yeah. The kid is fine!"
"—Good! Escort him outside. Their men are standing by at the main entrance."
"Alright! We are on it."
"—oh, and about that suspect—where is he?", Vincent asked to confirm the whereabouts of masked man, who Simon and Jake were chasing previously.
"We are really sorry that he slipped through our hands but he's already been dealt with. One of their guards informed us that they caught him and took him away—" Simon was explaining the situation when Vincent cut in, "What!? And you just let them do as they please!? Simon what's gotten into you? Do you have any idea what would be the consequences if this news reaches the HQ?"
"I know chief, and I am really sorry about that—but things got a little rough on our side but nevertheless—I think it's best for now." Simon explained.
"And why is that? Please, help me here! —because if something happens to that man, I'd be handling my resignation letter tomorrow morning at Director's office!" Vincent reprimanded.
"Don't worry something like that will never happen. They just intend to investigate and share the intel with us once they done with him ––and as for the culprit I have a slight idea who it is so, just relax for the moment."
"Relax you say—let's hope for the good news!" Vincent sighed.
"Sure thing, chief!", Simon hung up.
He addressed Jake who was still feeling down from the recent turn of events, "Jake!" The latter faced him and raised his brows in question.
"We are moving out!", Simon instructed. Jake tilted his chin and nodded.
On the other hand, Vincent was sitting in the car with Bob and Ben. Bob who was next to Vincent asked, "Is it safe to side with Guryon family like this?"
"I think we should trust our ace in the whole right now…who knows, may be this is for the best." Vincent replied dejectedly. "But what about the—" before Bob could finish Ben cut in, "I agree with Simon's decision. It will save us a lot of trouble!"
Bob turned his face backwards, "save us from trouble! ….and how is that?"
"Both of you stop arguing!", Vincent admonished the duo. "We'll wait and see what happens for now!" then he looked at duo in the eye, "Don't let this slip out from your mouth or we'll all be suspended! Got it?"
"Yes sir!", the duo answered in unison.
...….
Meanwhile, on the main road, there was an enforcer in the middle. In the rear, there were three black SUVs which were behind the enforcer. In the front of enforcer, there were another three black SUVs. Whereas, in the air, a chopper was following them from above. Such a line up became the center of attention all around. The onlookers thought that it might be a delegation sent from the East Empire.
Simon and Jake were a part of the squad. While Simon was driving, Jake who was next to him had a big goofy smile on his face, "Sir, I want to confess something really urgent!"
"If you are thinking of trying to practice some lines for your date later, then forget it", replied Simon.
"Oh come on sir! You are ruining the mood now!"
Simon sighed, "When is the time when you don't joke, idiot?"
"Sir will you let me confess or not?", Jake asked in frustration.
"Sure, knock yourself out", Simon responded despondently.
Jake looked at Simon and said, "The thing is—I have never felt like this before in my life! This is the best moment on my life!"
Jake's sudden confession caught Simon's attention. He chuckled to the latter's remark and added, "Yeah for me too!"
Jake stared at Simon dumbfoundedly when he heard him and confirmed, "Really!?"
Simon nodded. "Yeah, I never thought I'd enjoy this protocol one day for myself like this." Jake heaved-in a deep one and said with excitement, "Yes sir, me too! I wish Sarah watch me like this someday~"
"Stop daydreaming asshole!", Simon cursed.
"Jealous~", Jake teased Simon with a straight face.
"Shut it!"
...….
Somewhere in the city.
In the big suite, an old man and a woman were resting on the bed. They were gasping for the breath; the naked woman went for the shower while the man remained lying.
Few seconds later, the old man got up; he grabbed the cigarette and lit it up.
Ring~
He grabbed his phone from his clothes and stared at the screen for a moment, "What the fuck! What does he want at this time of night!" the old man mumbled. He received the call, "Hello sir—"
"YOU SON OF BITCH! YOU LIED TO ME!" before the man could greet properly; he heard curses.
Sebastian was shocked at the sudden rage of George. He didn't know the cause so, he asked apologetically, "S-sir—w-what happened?"
"MOTHERFUCKER! I TRUSTED YOU, GAVE YOU A SIMPLE TASK AND PROMISED YOU A FORTUNE BUT YOU DECIEVED ME! I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS! I WILL MAKE YOU BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES!", just like that George hung up.
However, Sebastian was in a predicament what happened. Few hours ago, George praised him rewarded him, but what happened after he got out of the hospital. He gauged the situation and soon his eyes widened. Sebastian threw the cigarette in the ashtray and got up. He put on his clothes in a hurry.
"Why are you in such a hurry honey!", a sweet voice fell on his ears from behind.
"Something came up so I need to go to the hospital." Sebastian replied without turning back. "Oh, really!", the lady raised her brows.
Before Sebastian could turn around, the lady suddenly grabbed him from behind and whispered in his ear, "Mr. George wishes to let you see the after-life!"
With that said the lady poked a needle on the latter's neck. Sebastian who thought the lady was getting lovey-dovey with him all of a sudden felt a sting on his neck.
"What the fuck, you whore! This isn't a time to—"
Sebastian didn't even finish and stopped speaking. Next, he fell on his knees; his head felt heavy, his breathing became abnormal, his body began sweating profusely, he vomited blood and, in the end, he fell on the floor while wriggling for few seconds and just like that Sebastian stopped moving and died within few seconds. White foam formed in his mouth came pouring out.
A moment later the lady took out her phone from the purse and reported the status, "Hello! This is Thirty-nine! The job is done. Please send in some men to clean the mess!"
She hung up the call and waited for a text message.
Message tone~
She read the text message and went for the shower.
