When we got to the military base and passed through the security checkpoint, Kelvin drove straight to the administrative and strategic department building where Billy office is situated.
As I got out of the car, Billy was already waiting for me by the entrance... We hugged and greeted its been some time since we last saw each other.
We are both very busy people but we keep in touch though calls and sometimes we meet for drinks.
When we got to his office and settled down with some refreshments...Billy immediately asked me.. what is am hearing of you having a baby in your house ....and ypu are involved in a war with the lion Syndicate.
War? come on Bills don't over exaggerate energy, the matter ...just some gun shots ...
Just some gun shots he interrupted me ...that was a full flagged war, all those exploded cars, dead bodies and automatic guns, ...I had to use my connections to keep the matter quiet.
I am just surprised how you got involved in this because you always kept a low profile... Even with your own personal army, you stay out of trouble, so what's this all about?
That's what you should have asked me from the beginning. Instead, you started by scolding me I said..
I have to play my big brother role properly, you know he said laughing
Yeah right because you are older than me with only 9 months, you will not let me forget it. Always rubbing it on my face, I answered, frowning
Did you say just 9 months...watch it, Crown. Don't talk to you senior like that he said, still laughing.
He knows how much it irritates me when he brings up our age difference... Okay, old man I hear you
Ah I am not old he replied. So who is the girl that is causing all this commotion ... and start from the beginning..
I told him everything I know ...how we ran into her, the attacks on Katie and Sunshine in the hospital...the information I got from Bolt, right to the last attack that I had to ask for his help.
He listened and was quiet for some time ...the lion syndicate are very dangerous people...you are sure you want to be on their bad side he asked
Bills I am not letting them go, I am not
He looked at me ...what is it about this girl that you want to risk your peace of mind for?
I don't know, I honestly can not give you an answer ... but as for Sunshine, no one is taking her away from me. Bills that little baby has changed my life, I must admit I can not imagine my life without her.
And her mother? Bills asked again, staring right into my eyes.
I didn't answer him... and just looked away.
That's say alot Eric your silence...it means there is something there.
Come on, can't I just want to help her, after all she is all alone...or you rather I leave her for death.
No... but I know you, Eric .. I know you.
So what do we do about Marcus Lanzo, I have some of my men watching them, and I am sure they are planning something I said changing the topic
Bills was quiet for some time... how is she doing? Is she recovering well he asked
Yes, I'm getting better every day but still confused and agitated sometimes ...and she doesn't remember anything before the accident.
We have to double the security presence in your house, and double the bodyguards for your mother ...he might get her to get you to give him Katie and baby.
You know my mother will not like that, I said, already envisaging the argument with her.
We don't have to tell her, we will just asign some shadow guards to her ....
l believe Marcus will reach out to you. Bills continued. He is a very arrogant and proud man who believes he can get way with anything....
You mean he might want to make a bargain... I asked
Yes, he is a businessman after all, and he knows you are one too, so he might offer you something
in exchange.
We talked about the whole thing and came up with strategies on what to do... Bills picked up his office intercom and called for Major William.
When he showed up, Bills gave him some instructions and told him he wanted a spy to be inserted into the lion syndicate camp.
I want to know everything that is happening there, get someone from the intelligence unit.
Yes, General, sir ... Major William replied and matched out.
Thank you, Bills, I said ..
Hey, you are my baby brother, and nobody tries to harm my family, so when do I get to meet them ...he asked smiling
Sunshine first, I dont think Katie is really to receive visitors I answered, I got up and showed him a picture of Sunshine on my phone ..
You even have her picture on your phone ...oh boy Bills started laughing so hard
What wrong with it....I asked puzzled
You ...Almighty Eric Crown with a baby picture on his phone.....he raised his hands up as If in prayers thank you Lord that I have seen this day.
I hit him on the head playfully...knock it off Bills
How your mum taking all this...he asked
I must say very well, she is attached to Sunshine. She is playing the grandma part very well.
At least you are resting from all those blind dates she has been setting up for you Bills said still laughing..
I see that you are having fun at my expense...I said smiling
I miss you man ...its being long I had a good laugh...and now with all this drama in your house I cannot wait to visit.
Go on ...laugh more I said about to hit him again and he quickly avoided me
I am serious I want to meet the new addition to the family ...most especially I want to see you changing diapers...that will be a sight to behold he started laughing again.
Bills are you for real ...I came to discuss something serious, and all you are doing is teasing and laughing at me ....
Man, I can not help it ... you life has just gotten more complicated...with some action included .
Tell me about it ...but it's a good complication if there is anything like that I said ...and we laughed together.
