Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 1 THE CLUB

A man is free to make his own decisions for himself with no obligation from anyone, well I don't know how far a man would push himself to his breaking point with no one getting killed.

" may his soul rest in perfect peace, and may he be accepted in the heaven joyfully, and may he be avenged on earth reassuringly, as long as we breath Peter's murderers will not go unpunished for we are now the God's and we'll take the law by our hands"

I am Winston locksmith and this is my revenge.

15 YEARS BACK.

" I don't know why I feel this way but I choose you for a better reason" sir locksmith said directly to his second eldest son Winston who looks pale wearing a gentleman suit of black color standing beside his father's favorite chair without saying a word.

" Do you think it's a better choice I've made instead of your elder brother Charles"? the father asked again.

" Am not sure of what my answer will be, all I can add is time will tell who's capable of controlling the family business " he said without looking his father who chuckled slightly turned and faced his son " Winston, your brother Charles prefer a high class life where he is going to create his own life and become rich by being a scholar, if this business will have a trust worthy successor it will be you Winston " his father said pouring him a drink " to the future " the father said toasting a drink to his son Winston taking over from him.

Winston was 15 years old when he was entrusted with the family business. When he turned 16 the business was almost his fully, a 16 year old not just becoming a mafia but controlling an empire a dangerous job for a teenager but he didn't care about school anymore he was now focused on how to make his own rules and get things changed once his father is dead.

On the other hand he was more dangerous and deadly than his father he acts alone and get the job done without any trace.

In terms of dealings and illegal marketing the locksmiths are the best there is and most likely the most feared, a family consisting of a father, and his 5 children.

Charles the first, Winston the second, Clinton the third, Catherine the fourth, and lastly Collins.

Five children having no conscience over an offender of daddy's law they have an executioner Clinton the most heatless and hardened minded sibling of all, he looks soft and funny but deep down he is the devil himself, Catherine, daddy's most protected even her siblings don't dare offend her if daddy finds out the story told is worse than the reality, Collins a young man inspired by his mind to be the next owner of the locksmith empire but a reminder of him being the weakest always leaves him in anger and strategic planning of over throwing his father and any amongst them succeeding him, Charles, the most brilliant, right from a kid he has studied and worked for himself to go far academically which made his father classify him as the most foolish, and lastly Winston to what he has displayed in the business line he is the calmest when trouble arises he never runs from a fight and always propose a deal where their is no way out, he won his father's name Winston locksmith signifying he is the best and the most suitable for ruling over and controlling the empire.

They grew up like normal community kids but as time goes by they became the most feared siblings in the whole town.

" I can't believe your father sent you both to manage his business today, do you know how this works kids? Mr Rogers asked.

" Do you think you know better than us in this Mr Rogers? Winston asked a question that had Mr Rogers stunned, a well known arms dealer known for his ruthless bargains, his name terrifies his subjects is now being asked a question no one has ever asked him as a matter of fact no one ever questions him.

" what? Mr Rogers asked curiously, he was surprised at the boy's boldness, he knew about Winston's background, his family is one of the most notorious and avoided in the town, he was a lone wolf people do not cross but now he is being questioned by a kid.

" if you are scared let's get on with it and go out separate ways" Clinton said with disgust.

Mr Rogers started to think upon all his standards in the town, here he was about negotiating with the kids of the worse Aaron locksmith.

" hmm you've both got balls coming here to talk to me in this manner, do you know who I am? he asked them.

" hmm then we'll go and our father will come himself, we'll just tell him you turn his offer down" Winston said in a mirthful tone.

They both turned and started walking out, Rogers thought if their father come meeting him by himself it might be his last minute in this world.

" stop, we can proceed" he called out what is happening he is being threatened by two kids so he decided to ask " how old are you kids".

" Am Winston and am 16 and this is my brother Winston he's 13 so can we continue the deal" Winston answered looking bloodshot as ever.

" Hmm so you think you are of age for this kind of business?" Rogers asked sentimentally.

" Everyone has a room in hell Mr Rogers, why don't I make mine a castle " Winston said then chuckled a little.

" you look a little shaking up, are we making you loose comfort" Clinton asked in a mocking tone that made Rogers a bit cold as he said " this is it, anything else " " that will be all for now Mr Rogers, we'll see you next time and next time we'll like to be entertained " Winston concluded as he walked out followed by his brother.

" And there goes the little locksmithy devil's" Roger whispered to himself.

Two kids walked into a notorious arms dealer's presence without any fear or even a bodyguard how bold were they or is it because their father was Aaron locksmith,or maybe they were just stone cold hearted kids with an ambition to be the next dictator of the block, whose kids will choose to become a gangster instead of being a lawyer, doctor, and many other professions adding values to the community but these two, are just freaking dickheads.

PRESENT DAY.

London dream, the locksmith empire a family of great power and control over the subjects below them who dares to lnfiltrate or perverse over them no one, and still the future of the business still in good planning still has everyone on their tail.

" I have cleared up all debit file from Norah's booklet so I think for now we are safe to say we are free" mason said.

" We are not free mason, it's about time we begin the work" Winston said with a mirthful expression.

" How do you mean sir Winston" mason asked .

Winston who was smiling in an unusual manner walked pass mason and stood by the curtains before saying " If you will look outside mason, the streets has been busy just like you and me I was just trying to hold the business together but here I am mourning the dead I can't work like this "

" Yes you can " his brother Clinton said walking in.

" morning sir " mason greeted.

" And why are you all dressed up like you want to stay home all day " Clinton asked.

" Not all of us are willing to dress up like an audible city gentleman " Winston said mischievously.

" haha Winston today is the gathering at the city club so I have to look the part as so are you two, mason I want him dressed up in ten minutes and get ready to I'll be waiting by the car " Clinton said and walked out.

" How rude do I need to shave?" Winston directing the question to mason.

" yes sir I really think you have to, Respect always matters " mason replied.

" So then, we are going to the ball "Winston added and walked into the bathroom screaming.

The ball, ancient they might say but to the gangsters, arms lord, con men and women, and all other notorious professions that the authorities has been putting every effort to see behind bars but to no avail.

The ball is a party to commemorate friends and families of those who rule over London from the dark side, the short conclusion is celebrating leadership and fallen colleagues.

" Here we are Clinton what's so special about this party, because all I smell is betrayal an plottings to kill a fellow comrade" Winston said.

" We don't need to care about anyone trying to get rid of their own business, the truth is we are here to know who had a hand in Peter's death " Clinton replied and walked off.

with that speech Winston smiled facing mason saying " then go enjoy yourself and leave the rest to the bug bad wolf Clinton" which got mason laughing.

" Now mason I'll see you when we're ready to go ".

The party started normal, everyone engaged in introducing a friend or a foe to someone, only the two brothers were serious at what they were doing finding a killer, but how possible?

The host walked up the stairs with a glass of wine, smiling unsteadily, using his spoon to alert a speech session with everyone turning heads towards him listening to what he has to say.

" My fellow comrades this is a new era with us together we'll be able to make London a place where our kind of business can prosper, we don't need to be afraid of cops or the government, we know we are above the law and everything attached to it, this party isn't being commemorated do we can come and drink but for us to rebuild London so who is with me?"

Hands were being raised with majority winning the vote.

" So then, I propose a toast for a new era " the man said, the man's name was Rogers philman.

applauses were being made with massive screams.

" your hands weren't raised or are you opposing Mr Rogers toast " Bruce asked Winston.

" well Bruce since you are dumb and blind I have no time for you" Winston replied

" So why are you here, matter of fact you were no member of the club if there's a locksmith we'll gladly choose Clinton " Bruce said.

" My dear Bruce I know I've not been available this few months so I have nothing to say like I said you are blind and dumb " Winston answered and walked off leaving Bruce who's expression was a mixture of anger and hatred.

" You have any clue of about the killer " Winston asked Clinton whose attention was directed towards his childhood Mrs Mitchell de la Rosa.

" I see de la Rosa huh what about operation Peter" Winston asked again " Am on it Winston so a little patience will do" Clinton replied and walked towards Mitchell leaving Winston to think why then did he say they were looking for a killer.

" Due to control over the club I think our allies have been in a total safe zone for us to manipulate in our way " Louis de brown said to the club leader.

" We have no problem with any of the members, even the de la Rosa's are now an ally to us, I think our only problem might be the locksmith's Mr rogers" laviar the bounty killer asked.

" Well the truth is the locksmith are not our problem, Winston locksmith is" Rogers said.

" Do you want me to take care of him " Louis de brown asked.

" Not yet we'll save the best for last " Rogers replied with a disdainful expression.

Meanwhile the club party wasn't changing or getting boring but looking at the eyes scorching the room was enough to say trust ain't in the devil's yard.

Winston got tired and annoyed at the same time so he decided to ask his brother one last time.

" Talk to me Clinton is everything under control? Because you have been acting a little bit weird since we got here is the mission an abort?"

" Winston I have no plan or whatsoever, seeing you outdoor is quite satisfying don't you think?" Clinton replied.

" Then I think I'll do it myself " he was about turning when Clinton held his hand.

" Don't do anything stupid Winston "

" So now you are serious with business "

" it's not my fault peter died, he's dead life continues Winston so put your shit together okay "

" Put my shit together? am not the one out of play here "

" So you want to put this on me fine do whatever you want "

" Yeah I'll do just that " Winston said loudly.

By now the the music stoped as everyone was hearing the situation, Winston walked to the center saying loudly " I'll like to propose a toast of warning as well, I've not been in good shape for the past three months, I lost a friend dearest to me peter smith a good guy, yea well he's gone now, I've been trying to forget the old me and face the future I thought I could make on my own but I guess the old me has a lot of enemies that might crumble the new me, but after this little scuffle with my brother I realized something am back and whoever the murderers are I'll find you and kill you even if it will be the last thing I'll do on this earth " he said then walked out the club.

" Like I said our problem is Winston locksmith " Rogers said softly.

After the incident at the club the party was soon concluded with the peace which remains.

" It's quite funny you know, what you did at the club " Clinton said stuffing his mouth with some burgers.

" They will come for me Clint and that's all we need to know the killer " Winston replied smiling.

" like I said Winston once before you are the devil "

" Always will be " .
