Jake POV
" can you please turn on the air conditioner? " I asked referring to Clint that was sitting on the couch opposite where I am sitting. it is so hot in here I can't believe I used to live in this village. I just had a blur remembrance of my days in Nile the doctor said I had amnesia, but I could still remember that I had a wife and child I don't know if it's a boy or a girl...
" the fan is not functioning," Clint cut me off from my dilemma.
" then look for somewhere and buy it for me, " I said dismissing him totally.
" ok boss I will do that right away! " Clint Said and was walking away when I remembered that the word buy that I said has a double meaning to it.
" Clint! " I called out to him, before he could walk out of the room.
" yes boss? " came his reply as he fiddle with his finger the way he used to do whenever he wants to ask me something.
" when I said buy, I mean buy with our money do get it? " I asked him. " you don't want to ruin our reputation do you?" I asked looking up at him from my sitting position.
" got it boss! " he said and turn to go but I quickly called him.
" Clint, " he turned around to face me. " you can tell me anything you know?" I said expecting him to say something.
" my wife has given birth..." he announced.
" that is amazing!!!" I squealed happily and hugged him, " congratulations bro, " I said looking at him.
" the baby is sick and the need money to take him to the hospital." he said dejectedly.
" we have like a billion dollars in the public account you know, you can take the money and use it to take care of you family. " I said smiling at him, he is really something else, he can't just take money without telling me? what a faithful friend, after this heist I am going to promote him.
" the money is very huge boss, " he said looking so hopefully, I am not going to disappoint that look that he is giving me.
" how much is it ?" I asked looking up at him, it's probably not more than 500 thousand dollars right, I mean, we have like a billion dollar in the account.
" it's 800 million dollars," he said hopefully. I smiled because I know where this is leading us to. he looks at me with confused look, I still kept the fake smile on my face while looking at him.
" what hospital is it that charge that amount of money for a child's treatment? " I asked sending a message to my personal investigator on my phone, maybe I have over trust him and he knew that and he is using it to his advantage of it.
" the hospital... the hosp... ," he stammered making me smirk and interrupt him.
" don't worry about it, " I have already gotten the answer that I wanted, so I should reward him for his loyalty or at least for pretending to be loyal.
" how much is in the group account, " I asked staring at him solemnly.
" 3.5 billion dollars, boss. " he replied after operating his phone for a moment, he is the one in charge of the groups money so he is probably doing this because of the amount of money in the account.
my phone went off immediately. I picked it up from the table that is sitting in front of me.
it's a message from my personal investigator, it read;
" his wife has not given birth yet, she was spotted in the garden of their house with a chatting with a lady. to justify words here is the picture of Clinton's wife and her friend. the picture of his wife and friend shows brightly on the screen of my Samsung Galaxy.
" Clint," I called out to him my hand going to my chin in a thinking position, " I trusted you with all my heart why will you do this to me? " I asked dramatically smiling at the look on his face, my eyes went down to his legs that have begin to shake vigorously.
" hey relax, I am not going to kill you. " I said, at least he didn't bail on me when I needed him like Zack did that made me kill him.
" I am so sorry for lying to you, " he apologized kneeling before me in tears, " it is the devil's handiwork."
" that is what they always say when they got caught in the act, " the devil said appearing before us, I couldn't see his face cause he was wearing a smooth black hoodie.
" welcome master!" I said bowing down to him.
" you know, I always say you should not bow down to me because of that man up there... "
" hey boss are you alright? " I was pulled out of my little day dream with the devil when Clint touched my arms. I am dreaming about the Satan? what have got to do with him.
" did you see anyone entered this room?" I asked him.
" no I didn't, I was apologising when all of a sudden you look like you have seen a ghost. " said what could this be? I have never had this kind of daydream that looks so vivid before.
" I will give you the eight hundred million dollars that you asked for, " I said I have to settle him because I have been noticing the way he behaves this days.
" do you mean it ?" he asked in excitement.
" yes I mean it, transfer the remaining money to my bank account. " I paused to relay a message to him through my eyes.
don't ever think of coming back to the gang when you have squandered the money, " I said with a note of finality.
" what does that mean, do you mean that I am fired? " he asked. I took out my cigarette and placed it on my lips reaching for my lighter that was lying on the table I picked it up and light the cigar.
I took a long smoke and blew it out, it's hit in here, I can't smoke in peace. I dropped the cigarette on the marble floor and matched it with my leg.
" you are not fired, " I said but when I saw the look on his face; the look of disappointment I laughed.
" if I fire you, you will not be alive, let's just say you have retired. " I said laughing hysterically.
he joined me in laughing which made me glared at him.
" sorry boss, I got too excited, " he said apologetically making laughed harder.
" I am not your boss anymore. " I looked at his expression which looks like it used to that dangerous look! I smiled.
" have you transferred the remaining balance into my account? " I asked, why I am giving him this money is because of his wife and unborn child, if not I will have killed him immediately.
" not yet I will do it right away, " look here if you have any other plans to tamper with my company, I will send a message to you with your wife's head. " I warned him sternly my hand dragging his ear in warning.
" I will keep that in mind boss, " he said head bended looking on the ground in a submissive way.
" can you tell me what your reason is that made you want to back out of this gang? " I asked sitting down majestically on the couch that I was lying on.
" it's my wife, she said she would report us to the police if I don't back out of the gang and I don't want her dead so I decided to look for a way to get out without going back to being poor again. " he said.
" wow, wow , wow, " that was the only thing that I can get out of my mouth.
" I see, I will do the same thing if I were you. " I said sympathetically.
" hmmm, " he mumbled.
" the fan is here boss, " Moscow said carrying a very large carton on his muscular arms.
" bring the fan here at least there is a generator in the house that is functioning well. " I said referring to Moscow who went and dropped the carton in front of me and start walking away.
" where the f**ck are you going you should fix the fan and wait for further instructions. " I ordered I an so bittered because of Clint.
" okay boss, " my phone went off on the table and I picked it up.
there is a message from the bank your account has been credited with $20,300,000,000 (twenty billion, three hundred million dollars)your balance is; $920,305,500,000.
" that is it you can go now, " I said dropping my phone.

Violet's POV
" did you video it well, " inspector James asked me after we were out of the building that the rogues are staying.
" Clint of a person might resign but that will not stop him from going to jail. " new detective that the send to assist with the investigation said nonchalantly.
" I will show you the video when we get to the car, " had it been that Jake killed the betrayer Clint that would have been all we needed to arrest him.
when we got to the car I played the video for them before removing the memory card from the phone.
" this is a lead you, why are you not celebrating with me, " the detective said confused on our lack of excitement.
" what is that your name again detective, " I asked him. my eyes scanning where his badge is supposed to be but I remembered that we are in disguise.
" Brian my name is Brian, " he said tapping his chest.
" yeah Brian, that man their is a very influential man, if you accuse him without evidence they will say that you are just jealous of him, the worst part is that you might be punished. " I said his mouth hung open in horror.
" huh, " I huffed.
