"Greta I'm so sorry"
"He killed him"the cry continue "He killed my dad ,why?for what?Dad didn't do anything wrong he was just trying to support us and those children"
"Mr Maniok soul will live on,we're proud of him"Isabelle glance at the window "Emeryk is getting more and more desperate,I'm sorry it all happened,how did he get to the house?"
"I don't know,the house was burnt to the ground but we found a letter"
"What does it say?"
"He's here,he's back he wrote the address of the place you should come to meet him"Greta sigh "Don't do it,he won't kill you without the CD but don't go,I lost dad,I lost sis,I lost a lot of friends and I don't want to lose you"
"I'll get James,he's helping and this time if I don't kill emeryk,if the chief escapes I'll make sure I break their wing,I'll make sure triplicate dies"
"I'll come with you"Greta whisper "No more deaths"
"May God help us"

"How are you doing honey?"Rick sit beside his daughter kissing her soft hand "I'm sorry"

"About?"
"A lot of things James,I'll talk to him,give Jakub the Keys"
"You borrowed Jakub from Micah,he isn't yours"He throw the key to Xander.
"He works for me Mr Sean and this whole stupid thing about ownership should be directed to him since he knows who he works for"Jan take the key from xander and go into the car.
James click his tongue his two hands in his pocket,he caught sight of a shadow walking into the hospital"Katy"He called and the figure hurriedly turn and run to them.
"Xander...ja...James what are you doing here?"Katy flush holding onto her pink bag,James grin.
"Why are you all surprised to see me?I went for a few days and...."
"Month"Katy interrupt.
"Month it is,you look hot in the purple jacket got a date?...I'm available"
"I'm not your type or let's put it the other way around,I'm here to see sasha"Katy smile at the Godmade angels in front of her "I need to go"
"Let's speak in private purple,I'll catch up with you later pervert"Xander walk to the direction of a bench nodding for Katy to come ahead,James mouth drop.
"What do you expect I do here?"James shout.
"Eat you dick,it's a new invented way of eating out our time"Xander respond,James glance at his trousers in amazement.
"He might really do it"Katy sit on the bench taking a glove from her bag to wear"want some?"She bring out a packet of chew gums.
"No"
"You still mad at me,aren't you?Xander we might not be friends but you know we bond in some way,I can't believe you'd ignore me for days because of this"katy ramble.
"I left you with Gary"
"Isabelle directed me back,said I needed to keep you sane but you look sane right now"
"Just as you were needed to help me in the dessert"Xander smile sadly,the packet in her hand fell "You knew beforehand that she was planning to leave"Xander cold words jerk Katy up "I trusted you"
"Hey I wasn't..."Katy tried to explain,her hear sinking at the way he spoke,she had always blamed herself for not talking to Xander about the dessert incident but something or the other always stops her.
"I heard it loud and clear Katy,you were involved in all this and I being a fool went with it,I can't believe I thought you got the location though the server in my office,nothing indicated that you got my location through the server but I...Katy This is unbelievable"
"I'm sorry,Isabelle came to me and I took the offer,I didn't know she'd leave for years,I thought she wanted her way out,I'm sorry for lying to you Xander"Katy put her hand on his shoulder "I'm sorry"She munble.
---
Isabelle get down from the Airplane,heaving in relief as they wheel Gary out from the other,she squint noticing the figure of someone she knew in the dark behind the Airplane.
"Looking for me" Isabelle scream,her heart pounding from the sudden attack,James grin.
"What the fuck was that?you scared me" Isabelle grab his two cheeks pulling it hard like her life depends on it,James grunt but didn't make any attempt to stop her "Stop sneaking up on people"She glance at the guards "Go ahead,I'll speak to Mr Sean,you can stay around"James smirk.
"I didn't,you were looking for me Isabelle that's not my fault"He embrace her tightly,knotting his arms at the back of her neck, Isabelle hit him on the chest struggling to breath.
"Stop...stop" She said breathlessly and push him off,James laugh falling on the ground with a thud "I'm gonna kill you the next time you try this"Isabelle spat.
"You're getting stronger,I tell you I'm a great teacher" Isabelle snort "Your dad teachings can't be compared to mine"
"Stop trying to be nice James,how did you remember me?" James cup her face "I didn't miss you one bit"
"Baby you did, let's cheat on xander" Isabelle kick him in the groin,he yelp "lady stop that, I'm joking okay, simply joking"
" How did you remember?"Isabelle motion for the guards to follow her,James limp after her "Why are you back now?"
"I live here Isa, I'm taking treatment now so of course I remember you"Isabelle stop in her track "Don't pity me sister in law"
"I hate you"She start to walk smiling to herself "Thank you"
"For?"
"Infiltrating emeryk den, you're driving me to Siedlce"
" I'm not your driver,your men are capable of taking you there"
" You owe me one"Isabelle hiss "I ruined five of your engagement"
" And paid back by getting to the bastard before the merchant's does"James retort standing straight.
"You didn't kill emeryk" James grind his teeth "I have to get to the vault" She glance around and keep her head low "Without them" She whisper.
"What's your game plan Isa?the Macks are getting entwined in this game"James voice grow low and dangerous "You're part of the underworld and if the Mack get a wind about it all hell is going to break lose"
" Who's the king?"
"Isa that's not relevant"
"Who's the king?"
"Me okay"
" Are you sure you are?the chief is getting smarter, he's gonna take your position soon,Rick was the king look at him now,Debra was killed without one ounce of pity,I don't pity you James you don't have a real family"James grab her neck fuming. "Do you care about them?I don't think so" James retract his hand when the men look back,he pretend to be interested in her jewelry.
"What do you want me to do?Rick left the underworld to protect his family and Xander is busy controlling the Australia black market without anyone knowing"
" What?"
" Oh, you're a little fool"James,lips curve into a sinister smile "He's getting to the truth and we both know the truth will only destroy him"
"I'll leave soon"
"When?" James snap "When?" He remove his hand from her necklace and give the guard a small scowl.
"When one of you kill emeryk, Emeryk is the head of this group,if we want to win let's take out the root who knows Sapphira might really be alive"Isabelle smirk "Mom's don't die easily"
"Augustyn" James growl "Last warning"he warned.
"It's Collins...no Mack now" Isabelle brag "I've something"James interest got piqued "Triplicate wants mom CD and the problem is I don't know where it is"
"Your mom was the DGP right?Get the permission and get it from the office"
" I checked,dagmara,Debra and mom were best friend and luckily for me I've Hans to lead me to one of them"
" Dagmara is dead,we were all there"James rub his forehead wishing he could find his way out of this.
"I don't believe in death without grief,the whole family were grieving but where was the matriach of the mack,trust me when I get to her I'll find the CD"Isabelle walk to the limousine packed in the parking lot "Do something"She slip into the car,James wipe his face his heart pounding.
"One last time"He whisper to himself and turn to the guards "She's coming with me"
"But boss..."James men surround the building overpowering the guards with just their presence.
"Talk to your boss,she's coming with me"He open the limousine car and sit,he raise his head to look at the rear view mirror and their eyes lock.
"Drive"Isabelle close her eyes and lean to rest more,James turn the ignition key.
At Annescapti hospital in Poland Warsaw
Xander drop his phone in anger his men just called him to tell him about the stunt James pulled,sasha lift her head frown surfacing on her face.
"I'll come back Sasha,right now I've to visit dad"he turn to his heels.
"Did he do anything?"Sasha fiddle with her hands "He misses mom please don't.."
"We all miss mom okay?"Xander raise his voice.
"Triplicate said he wants me to remain in the hospital,do you know why?"Xander face contort "Micah is dealing with the transfer thing but the doctors are concerned about my health"
"Triplicate wants you to stay?Did he say that?"
"Yes"Xander click his tongue "I told Micah about it"
"You'll stay Sis,he wants something and we want him,why don't we put that into a plan"Sasha eyes widen with a grim expression "You'll be fine"
"I don't want to do it,I can't Xander I'm terrified,How can you ask that of me?"Sasha gasp the words out,Xander shrug.
"This is our only hope,if he did say all that to you then he might come here I'll make sure to protect everyone here"He walk to her bed and plant a kiss on Sasha forehead "For me,For Isabelle and for the innocent people that had been slaughtered by him"tears cascade from sasha eyes.
"I'll try but it's in the category of try"Xander smile "I don't want anymore deaths"
"Thank you"Xander thrill inside elicited a grin,he hope his plan works out,if triplicate had really been at the hospital, then there's a big chance he might come back,what worries Xander is how to explain this to his father and Micah,there would be several bullets planted at the depth of his neck before he's done explaining.
"Don't lose them"He send to his men.
At a dark vault in Siedlce.
The vault had a keen familiarity with a well ordered building but it becomes different when they gets deeper,objects with blood of victims betrayed the calm atmosphere in the air,Machines twirl making the buzzing sound as they move forward to open the door.
"You deal with computers now?"James query on sighting a robot placed in a transparent white box "It looks like a lab now"
"We increased In number James,there are scientists with us now,moreover we need this business show up"James came to a full stop to admire a wide frame of his mentor,Isabelle heave heavily.
"How's he doing?Got another world best ammunition?"Isabelle roll her eyes "I know he makes it but they're marked as the best yunno"
"He's dead"James freeze "Got his body this morning,emeryk got to him"
"What? He was okay...apart from the vast wounds sustained from the accident but he was doing fine and fifty men were with him,how did emeryk get in?"James yell echoed.
"He as the chief and the chief is like a ghost,I would've called him a demon if I believed in magic,James I'm sorry but if sapphira is working with them I'll kill her"
James snort and continue his journey, Isabelle put on her black gloves and motion to the men standing in front of an iron gate,they open the door as soon as they heard the password from the two.
A battered man tied to a chair in a big room turn to them with great difficulty,his teeth shatter and so is his military uniform,his black hair glisten gray showing the two of how long he as been captured,blood spill from his mouth as he open his mouth to speak.
"They didn't hurt you,stop being so melodramatic"ISabelle wrench the word out of James "Out"She barked at the men in the room drop their torture weapon and left.
"You stinky bitch"Hans spit on her "Do you think this is gonna break me?I've gone through so much before I became who I am,you can't get anything from me"Hans yell.
"Cool isa,what's this?"James pick up an iron rope with spikes at the edges "Want me to test it on you Janssen?"Hans scoff "What do you know?I heard dagmara is alive"
"She took my dad,her whore of a mother took my dad and now the whore's daughter wants to have a thing with my mom?"Isabelle close her eyes taking rapid deep breaths.
"There's no point in dragging the 'fam' matter here Hans,your dad and my dad are twin,your father happily gave himself to mom and please stop acting like he cared about you anyway"Hans heart shatter hearing it come from her "He lied to us,jamie thinks he's our real dad,everyone calls me a Collins but I'm not a Collin,I'm an Augustyn and so are you,so shut the crap and tell me where your mother is or you stop living"
"Will you really kill your cousin?Will you really Kill your husband cousin?Is the chief taking every member of that family?"Hans burst into laughter and stop "Do it,kill me but I won't get out of here because you think I deserve it"
"Do it"Isabelle said to James "I want him skinned alive,we don't need him anymore"Hans scowl and clench his jaw "Bye Augustyn"
"That name made you this way,didn't it?"Isabelle smile "it must be a real unfortunate last name,I wasn't called an Augustyn,whether Jannsen is real or fake that's my last name"
"And what as it brought you?"Isabelle scoff "James you're good at making people emotional"She whisper to the man near her "Wrench it out of him,I need him alive"
"I'll kill him in front of the chief"James mutter,Isabelle shake her head "I will"
"He's my cousin and truth be told I ruined his childhood by accepting Matt as my father"
"Feeling emotional?Isabelle quit it,you're planning on killing your uncle after you murdered his son"James sneer.
"That was my only chance stupid,get to work"The alarm blared,Isabelle run to a small glass with a phone on the wall she press the green button.
"Error...Error...system breached"
"What?"Isabelle dash to the door "Blade what's going on there?"
"The Macks men are here,they're coming in but we can't stop them,you told us not to hurt them"Isabelle close her eyes.
"If they attack you take them all down blade"James and Hans snap their head up "kill them all".
"Isabelle..."Hans gasp.
"What?isa,Isabelle,quit it"Isabelle shout "What does Xander want from me?We'll go out through the other door"James glance at Hans and back at Isabelle and nod,a man in all yellow hoodie kick James in the groin.
"Woah,easy man"James fall to the ground,Isabelle turn towards them,Hans frown at the change of scenario.
"That's for raising that fucking gun at me"Bronsilaw kick him one last time before grabbing Hans by the collar. "I'm back Jannsen"
