Chapter 36 - The Update. Arc 2: The Tragic Journey.

"Breaking news to the people of Vincestreet district, South Randie City and the whole of Randie state. It seems that a lost culture is being brought back around the people's school on the 28th July, a culture, which is famously dubbed as "a school shootout" was successful brought back like a huge banger as this time around, it involved the notorious Black Crooks.

The school was able to defend itself against such high power that could bring an end to the school's existence. In the crime scene, it was seen that every single Black Crooks' men were wiped out, even their leader, Jamie Callisto, who is also known as, The Long Don who had a dramatic or according to the public, a horrific public execution.

Luckily, for the high school, no student was reported dead but just a few had minor injuries, which most out of the victims had their skins grazed by stray bullets. The local police department has looked into this matter but still are not able to identify the Black Crooks' enemy that went head to head against them and are still kept as an open case and accept any testimonies with open hands.

The congressman, Steven Davidson, once again gives his apologies towards the students who this very situation got them traumatized and also to the parents of the victims. He also assures all, that just like in the festival, the lives of these students, parents and also staff are their number one priority and he and the staff will make sure to safeguard it no matter how risky the situation is. Now, moving over to the next news in line, ..."

In what seemed to be a luxurious restaurant, this very news sounded from the phone a middle aged man had in his left hand, while his hand was busy in aiding him to have a sip of coffee from his cup. With a huge sigh, Steven Davidson was in disappointment on what happened.

The restaurant's door opened and a figure cladded in a hoodie and sweatpants with a nose mask on and tinted black glasses walked in. He took his steps straight down to the table where Steven was seated and had his own seat opposite to Steven.

The stranger made a light cough and spoke up, "a new order has been passed around and there will be a new plan to carry out and you are to be involved in the second half of it all.

We will give you the call when we have made se progress in the first half, which will be about you commencing your own part. Anyways, you know the drill, failure to do so....."

"Oh my God, I got it alright? I'll play my part, it's not like I have a choice here. So, just get lost, I'll be waiting for the call." Steven cuts in as he got annoyed about the stranger's threat.

"Oh shut up dude, you have a choice when you were tasked to commit your most stupid mistake and being on the safer side but you chose to vibe with the violence. Again, don't be so harsh with your words, we did gave you a choice, take and carry out the orders or let some close ones loose their lives in exchange for your freedom." Said the stranger as he replied to Steven's complains with his voice containing an obvious tone of mockery.

"Would have done that already bit well, it's so obvious that letting me go has never been one of your plans, so why should I commit a murderer that will all go down in vain." Steven scuffed as he complained more.

"Well, seems that you are sharp after all. Anyways, this is the result of your fruitless labour. Take your time and read through it. I'll be taking my leave now." Said the stranger as he dropped a black file on the table, stood up, adjusted himself to be more comfortable in his attire before heading out.

Taking another sip of coffee from his cup, Steven with his right hand opened up the black file to read on it."

"Randie State's Gang Ranking List. Hmm, everything still remains the same, just like how the ridiculous backyard Gangster Hood Gang still persists on holding on to the last position like the trash they are. The only change I see here, which rhymes well with this morning's breaking news, is the existence of the Black Crooks Gang being totally wiped out from the face of the earth and being replaced by, The Dawn Empire behind headed by our lovely Grey Eugene, also known as GEORGE.

Well what do you have to say, my cute puppy? Does this excite you that you might have a challenger?" in a bedroom, a female voice could be heard as she was having a conversation with someone else in the same room.

"Everyone knows that his awakening is all about taking revenge on the Dirty Crowns Gang, so I don't have high hopes for some action, after all, am not a trouble maker but I invite any form of trouble." Greg replied as he stares at the beautiful scenery of the evening sky through the window while resting on the window casing.

"Well, not interested in these dog fights. I just need some crack, females and an extravagant lifestyle. Anyways, I'm craving some fun. Put on your collar and get yourself over here." Chaniel ordered while using a hand gesture, which indicated that he should come close to her.

"Again? *Sigh* fine." Greg replied with a hint of tiredness in his voice and then, the unzipping sound could be heard.

.......

"I'm glad you still have me in mind. How have you been?" a female voice could be heard in what seem to be a dark room with little illumination. Her figure is till not clear as she has her figure hidden in the dark.

"Yeah girl, am fine and you? Have you seen the updated ranking list?" the phone sounded.

"Of course, it's a hot topic, so, why wouldn't I get interested in it?" the figure replied.

"So ..... what do you think?" the person on the phone was quite hesitant to ask that and her voice was also shaking too.

"Well, I would love to cooperate with an old partner but I will be on the watch for now. After all, his overconfidence led to a death. Luckily, the misfortune you thought you had got changed but It doesn't change the fact that he is majorly the reason why you're going through your current hardship. So for now, just like I said, I will watch with a calm mind-set and earn my partnership." This was the figure's reply as she had to think deeper before deciding on her actions.

"Well, there is no lie and I will agree with you to keep watching what goes on. Okay then, have a nice day and let's catch up later." The phone sounded.

"Alright, take care." The figure replied and cuts the call. She dropped her phone on her table and heaved a huge sigh before murmuring to herself, "Eugene, what do you plan on doing next now?"

.........

In a cemetery, Eugene could be seen dropping a bouquet of flowers on a grave and on the tombstone was inscribed, "in memories of Gabriel Vino". Just as he drops his flowers, he then murmured, "rest well, G55."

He gave a minute silence before heading back to the car that seemed to be waiting for him. He got close to it and the door got opened for him to enter and which he did.

"Hey young sir, don't blame yourself okay? It was expected, even you young sir, had in heart that on that day, you might loose your life. Gabriel knew also and further gave himself up while making sure he kept on his pace in the shootout. Let's just say that this is the beginning of the journey to reach the goal you always had in mind." Sir Eric said as he tries consoling Eugene

"Yeah, a tragic journey. Let's just have the littlest fun that the journey could offer up." Eugene replied and sir Eric nodded and ignited the engine and drove off.
