Again, I feel like am in the dark. Like am on the verge of discovering something but, in the end, it turns out I only know one side of the story, half-truth. One thing I am beginning to understand is, half-truths sometimes can be the greatest of lies. Many times it has lead many to their deaths.
I arrived at the entrance as timed. It was already dark and to my surprise, it was a full house. There are different guys everywhere, both from the streets and the organization, it's better safe than sorry, even in death, some people are still dangerous. Most of the time they must have given orders to their men before they were killed. Some guys are the honourable type, they execute their missions even if the client is dead. For me, I say they are just men who enjoy killing and they fool themselves thinking they can find honour in keeping their word. How is there honour in killing for a living?
As usual, I was wearing a jacket with a hood covering my face, it won't be of any good to me if I was to be identified by any of these unknown men. I already know my way, the only person that questioned me was the right-hand man of the boss, he is waiting for you was the last word he told me. This is the first time coming here to find this gate closed. Again there must be something I don't know.
Unlike the outside of the building, there are only a few guys inside the house. Some of these guys must be one of his loyal men. From their appearance, they seem to be aware of the situation but relaxed and at the same time alert. They are all hitmen, but why would top-ranked guys like these stand post, it is also possible that these very same men guiding the boss can also kill him, after all, they are all free agents.
He was already sitting in a chair and his back was facing the entrance. He knew I was coming and I might not be coming in peace, still, he did this. On the other hand, he could also be testing me if I was stupid enough to try. I went inside and stood close to him, he already knows I am close to him. This guy reeks of whiskey, he must have been drinking since morning.
Don't just stand there, I know you want to kill me, why waste time and think about it? Just do it.
Unlike some people, I think of every possible thing that could go wrong before I acted.
But you didn't think before you killed many people in a public place today. I sent you because you are discrete, you are supposed to go in and out like you use to, what went wrong?
That was the only way, it hots me you don't see it.
Do you know why I like you? You think, and people like you have reasons for every action which is why you are still alive today. You remind me a great deal of your mother God rest her soul. You both have the same mind but, you don't smile or look happy like she does, a trait you must have taken from your father. It's best if we discussed what I summoned you here for before we start throwing blows of who did what.
Another reason I sent you there is because I know you do your own digging, you don't just walk in on your kill because you don't trust the information given to you by me. You get close, study your target like a prey, get them to like you or feel safe, then boom, you attack like a viper. You, my friend, are a venomous sycophant and a psychopath as well. So what did you discover?
The guy was just a pawn. He knew nothing about the Order.
What made you come to that conclusion?
He eats in a public place, I believe that is something not to be done by someone who was supposed to be the head of a legion.
It could be just a common mistake he said.
There are other things that lead me to believe he knew nothing but I don't think it is relevant anymore.
What I want to know is why the mass killing.
What you want to know does not matter because you set me up.
Why would you think that?
I know you are the one they want dead not me.
No, my friend, they don't want to kill me, all they've done so far is remind me of what will be the consequence if I double-cross them.
How can you be so blind to the truth? Have you thought of who gave Tivo the order to create trouble for you? Who gave him guns and funds to buy your men? Or do you think he's been doing all this things on his own? He had the support of someone and you and I know who that ghost is. What if he succeeded in killing you? what will happen then?
He will simply take my place and in turn, kill you.
Wrong. They will kill him for that has always been the end game. Think about it, why would the Order release someone sentenced to life in prison? They know he would be loyal that's why. They must have given him reason to do what he did but all we can do for now is speculate. How many hitmen are there in this mansion? I counted twelve coming in, they could be more, now ask yourself, if the Order wants me dead, how much am I worth? maybe two million. What's preventing them from killing you, don't flatter yourself thinking they are loyal. The answer is because there is nothing as such, at least not yet.
What are you trying to say?
If I had killed the target silently, the purpose of Tivo would be invalid. The guy was just a distraction, false lead for the police, so it had to be loud and nasty too. I also left some of the poison we used for the last mission in the pocket of the remains of Tivo, that will buy us some time or it could close the case.
What if the investigation leads to you?
I don't leave clues, and none of the guys that went with me knows me.
You turned out to be crazier than I thought. Like I once said, you are born to lead men to the world beyond. You want out, if only you knew how big this Organization is, you won't think of taking the risk.
You are the one taking the risk here. Like I've said, all this is just my speculation and if am wrong which I believe am not, but if yes, then you would have been dead two hours ago. You've surrounded yourself with hitmen who you know will not think twice to kill you if the price in your head is a big one, or am I wrong?
You know too much, but not enough, you talk too loud but not loud enough, the ship is big, the body of Tivo is not big enough to anchor in, your guess is as good as mine, we are all pawns in this game, do well to remember that.
True, there are things you can never tell me but, know this. They are looking at you, and from my observation, these guys are not your men and you've just confirmed it, your time is near and you know it and you hate that I also know it, you want to fight but you don't know who to fight that is why you want to kill every threat. Let me ask you then. Am I a threat to you?
You are the biggest threat I've met since your father, is that what you want to hear boy?
Are you scared of me? You are scared of me cause I can see it in your eyes, you should be for I do have the intent of killing and I believe the feeling is mutual. The next time you send me on a mission, don't tell half-truths, they don't do me any good and all it does is sink you dipper into the mess you are already in.
I have been thinking and now I've come to a conclusion, the death of the one who called himself my father is not the only reason they are watching you. If so, what are you hiding?
