They looked at her puzzled...
"Which is?" Rebeccas asked...
"At the bank's party this weekend" was her only reply smirking while Arthur looked petrified as if he had seen a ghost...
"What!...no kathryn...I love you and I would do anything for you but the banks?....god no!" He couldn't believe what he was hearing...
It was a public knowledge that the bank's mansion is an impenetrable fortress, even reporters don't have access to most of their events..
And only the top elites gets an invite to their events...
Getting an invite from the banks is almost synonymous to winning an Oscar...
Anyone will want to be in that type of environment where you get to mingle with the big guns in almost all the top industry and perhaps make profitable relationships for the future..
It already caused an uproar when the news of their invite got leaked...
It was indeed a huge honor and and one he want to maximize...
With all this thoughts raising through his mind, he was more determined for them to make a good first impression to the patriarch and matriarch of the banks during the party.
Kathryn crocked an eye brow at him...
"Why are you all tensed" she asked amused..
"Because its the banks, and we can't afford to be on their radar on a negative note....which is why I think we shouldn't do anything at the party that will make them suspicious of us" arthur said meaningfully.
"We will see" kathryn said causing arthur to sigh deeply..
"Now to more important things..." she said bringing the group back to the main reason of the meeting..
"Tony, Show me what we have on Carlos's drug syndicate so far, "...she said while Tony and his team worked their 'magic' and in less than two minutes pictures, videos and every tiny information they had gathered on carlos was uploaded on the big flat screen..
"Good job tony" she said satisfied with their work..
"There is no picture of Carlos here" she asked after taking a closer look at the images..
"And why is 'Alfredo cunha' slated in one of this articles as the ring leader of Dune drug organization" she asked puzzled..
Tony scratched at his head, not knowing how to answer....even he doesn't know what Carlos looks like...
"Boss, I couldn't find anything on the picture you gave me....the picture is not in any data base I have searched, and I have searched every data bases in all south and north America, which might make it difficult to tie all these information on drug operation to Carlos Rodriguez" Tony explained calmly..
"It may be a hoax but every thing I dug from the dark web points to this guy as the leader of Dune" he said pointing at Alfredo's picture...
"Fuck" Arthur cussed, while Kathryn remained unusually quiet..
"Not suprised, so what do we have on them...I need information on their base, how he import their goods into the country , their drop points , warehouse, hideout...muscles and connection" she asked swiftly moving to the next phase of their plan..
Tony and his team once again flew into action and in less than a minute new informations with pictures appeared on the big screen..
"When I ran the plate number of the car that trailed you today, we found it to be registered to one Mr Jose Mendez a Mexican and as I suspected his home address is one of the houses under our surveillance..."Tony said pointing at a white house...
"So this house here is one of their hideout?" Rebeccas asked...
"Yes and also maybe one of their drop points, for the past weeks , trunks and van had been seen going in and out of the mansion discreetly...I wager they are moving important stuff " tony answered before playing them a prerecorded security footage..
In the footage they could see trunks and white vans enter the street before making a right turn and then entering through huge gate of the mansion..
"How many times in a week does this vans go in and out out of this mansion" Arthur asked...
"Fridays and Monday night at exactly 9pm" Tony answered..
"I can't be the only one that think those vans carry more than drugs" rebecca said exactly what was in everyone's mind..
"Hmm"
"As of today, I would assume that carlos already knows that am alive....." kathryn said looking at all the faces in the room as everyone had already stopped what they were doing as soon as she started talking...
"Our first course of action is to bring him out of hiding and to do that we need to cut him off from his money, and that is where Arthur and his team come in..."
After addressing the team, tony was given the go ahead to brief the team on every information he had gathered on the locations of Carlos's drug warehouses and hideout...
"We will raid each of these warehouses one after the other starting immediately after the launching of our security company next week"
"If there is any other thing send it to Arthur.....that will be all" kathryn said and adjourned the meeting.
"I already made provisions for body guards for the two of you " Arthur said as the three came out from elevator that led to the secret underground basement..
"What for?" Kathryn asked while giving a lop sided smile ...
' Such a worrywart ' she thought walking towards the gym..
"How can even ask that?" Arthur asked in a wronged tune..
"She is messing with you" rebecca laughed at his pitiful expression..
Walking up to her sulking brother, she held his face and said in an incredibly sooting voice she tried to coarse him..
"I know you mean well, but as you know am not some damsel that needs saving and besides I already have a plan so don't worry ok" she said before kissing him on both cheeks..
'How can I not worry' he thought sighing..

Somewhere in mexico...
"Boss , José sent this package"the lackey said handing his boss the brown envelope..
"You can go" ....
"Yes boss" he replied and left..
Standing in front of his floor to ceiling window he inhaled deeply and puffed out a thick smoke into the dark of the night....
After what seemed like twenty minutes he had already finished six sticks of cigarette...
Gulping down a glass of dry gin,he sat down on his huge seat and tore open the seal of the envelope and brought out dozens of photo of beautiful woman and stared at it for a long time..
"Mi amor" he muttered as a broad smile spread on his thin lips...
"You have grown to be such a beautiful woman....I can't wait to have you again by my side " he said caressing the picture with his thumb..
