Three days after the incident at the club, the crime at the shadows by now had moved from 20 to 50 percent which had the police up and high with full alert, all the police investigators were answering to head of department detective Nathan wood a man of high merit value, he has no wife or kids every criminal in London was in their cool just to avoid the wrath of detective Nathan wood, just by hearing the name causes devastation all over London.

He was transferred to Brixton for some case he hated himself getting involved but now he's back and hearing about the things happening at his absence gave him a chill, he was happy bringing down all the crime lords in the city was his dream since he was 12 to him he is about fulfilling his dreams.

He was sitting in his office dressed in a black coat with cigarettes already burnt, he was reading a novel the blacklist, listening to gangster's paradise by coolio, his expression was still emotionless the day was going as he thought it would, a good morning of reading books and smoking some cigarettes was a bit mind chilling to him not until Zack his issued special assistant walked in with some files.

" sir I've some.."

" Maybe you don't know me well enough Zack, I hate being disturbed in the morning so I think whatever you need or want can wait till afternoon " he said cutting the words of his assistant.

" Sir I think this is urgent and can't wait till afternoon " the assistant said eagerly.

" so what is it ?"

" We just found out the owner of the mansion used in the kidnapping of the Monroe's " he said.

" so who's the owner ?"

" Some Winslet Seattle she doesn't base in London sir, but often come in for vacation or business right now her location is unknown "

" What about the gold loss has any evidence or Intel being taken?"

" Right now sir our lead is nobody other than the man you already know " the assistant said.

" Winston locksmith " the detective said stood up and said to his assistant " Something big is about to go down the main path to follow is to target the leads like his elder brother, Winston locksmith ".

THE BAD.

When it comes to crime and most assured loyalty in the family of the locksmith Catherine and Collins are the first to call. They are the closest siblings in the family.

It all started when their father called them the optimistic minded but pessimistic hearted.

They shared their fortune together with Catherine being the one always accomplishing the plan and Collins the idealist, it was true he was seen the smartest who lives in the shadows of his brother Winston, all his life he had worked himself out to get the same love and attention his father gave to Winston but has always been sidelined which had him made his own path by teaming up with his sister to archive goals together.

Their sister was the apple of their father's eye which gave her the impression that she can never be moved or plotted against, but since her father's death she had to leave London to God knows where, and Collins had to work alone.

" Sir Collins, the whole crowd are ready for your speech " his bodyguard said to him in whispers as he nodded agreeing.

" Give me five minutes " he replied.

Well after the fleeing of his sister and the failure of owning the family business he had to make his own empire a factory of cigarettes and lighters.

The business growth has been a great success even making him see the business greater than his father's own he never thought it will go down to this but here he is sitting down, behind the curtains crowds from far places are waiting to see the man who's marketing has got them thrilled.

He put off his cigarettes stood up and wears a nice smile adjusted himself put up his full height and told his guard " Am ready ".

The moment he walked out the open everybody started to cheer, hailing and calling out his name he walked up to the microphone cleared his throat and with a joyous tune he said " Am glad you all are here and am happy for for a dream come true " everyone was soon seated as he started the ceremony.

" Our forefathers had business plans but were unable to execute them we the new generation will make a fortune out of dust, to tell you the truth it's already happening, from the operas to the internet even to gun sales we are expanding folks, but we still lack the idea of commemorating partnership, if we can all team up, our empires and our names will be all over the chats, so I Collins the last son of Aaron locksmith propose a solution to our problems of us being unable to see the future like our fathers, a voice of we working together will devastate those who are trying to crumble us, our ears will be everywhere and being backstabbed will be limited so I plead let's make it work, if you're in you won't regret it " and with that conclusion everyone started to cheer a total rumble.

After the ceremony ended he was about retiring back to his room when his special guard called his phone.

" boss a familiar someone seeks for you downstairs ".

" Name?"

" It's your brother Winston ".

Collins and Winston has been the far siblings more than Charles and Winston. Collins from birth trying to live life on his own to impress their father but the fact that he will always be living by Winston shadows was infuriating.

" I'll be there in five ".

He walked downstairs with thoughts running through his mind, why would Winston all of a sudden come visiting it's strange or is he here to assassinate me due to my success he kept thinking untill he got downstairs then he saw Winston dressed up in a casual manner a strange look for a dark businessman he wore a shirt of white color and black shorts as always still cooperate.

" What are you here for Winston, I didn't invite you to my home so what's with the visit " Collins asked.

" Your assumption of me is way off brother, I'm an optimist so I came visiting my brother who's now a grown up, but stop being rude and offer me a drink " Winston said with a smirk on his face.

Collins waved his hands and a butler in seconds brought a glass of wine for Winston.

" Wow they are fast " Winston said as he emptied the glass.

With a sigh of relief he said " Alright Collins the truth is I was worried so I came to check on you is that a bad thing " Winston asked.

" hmm worried about me, when is that your priority, my well being "

" As of yesterday after i woke up with a fever, I thought about me dying I saw my family's face then all of a sudden the illness faded that's when I thought it was best to check up on you guys " Winston said and started walking around.

" haha nice joke if you have nothing to say after your tour leave " Collins said, about going upstairs when he started hearing Winston laughing out of curiosity he asked " are you okay ".

" Collins I know you are kinda business partner with Rogers so I'm going to be a little nice to ask do you know anything about the death of peter smith " Winston asked his voice by now was a little evil than few seconds ago.

" What? why ask me that "

" Well that's why am here, if by any means I come to understand and know you had a hand in Peter's death, consider you and this fine fortress gone " he concluded and walked out smiling.

" Should I keep an eye on him " his bodyguard asked.

" No he will be expecting a plan of me protecting myself so we do nothing but watch " Collins said and walked upstairs.

The moment he entered his room his heart started to pound faster than normal, he had never been threatened directly by Winston that he couldn't sleep that night.

By the lakeside shopping center in Camden sat a very beautiful lady dressed up in a tank top and a jean to match it was sunny and no really cared if she was there at all it looked like she was waiting for someone or just there fo the view after sitting for about twenty minutes she stood up walked towards a nearby shade where a man with glasses and a suit sat eating burgers as soon as she was up close the man sighed and said " Were you waiting for me or just enjoying the weather and the view?"

" Both ".

" It's funny you with a lot of enemies in London walking in and out freely without feeling afraid or anything" the man said as he chewed down on his burger.

" Am not here to talk about enemies or foes am just trying to find the killer of my dad " she said.

" It's been years since his passing, isn't it time to let go ?"

" No i think it's time for the truth to unveil itself " .

The man sighed again and said all I can offer is that the killer is a family of partnership with a foe, that's just my guess ".

" Is there a name or a lead " she asked.

" The only name that popped up after months of intense search and intel is your brother Collins ".

As soon as he said that she started to walk away then he rushed her and asked " If I may ask what are you going to do ".

" kill him ".

" How, walk into his office after four years and shoot him in the head, I think it's way more than that and you know " the man said.

" So what do you want me to do Morris?"

" If my Intel's right Charles is in town and you know what it means ".

" our family is going to have a little reunion " she said.

" After the club I think we need to keep an eye on Winston locksmith, the truth is he is dangerous " bounty the killer said.

" True, but he isn't a superhuman, and he can die "Mr Rogers said.

" When do we strike?"

" We wait for the master planner ".

" Who's the master planner?"

" A former foe " Rogers concluded.

" So where is Greene? " one asked.

" He should be here any minute" Roger answered.

" The city of London I know is gone this, this is what then we call fantasy. I don't care what it takes but I'm going to bring down the level of crime happening everyday even if it takes my life " detective Nathan wood was speaking to his assistant.

" Sir I think he's ready to talk " his assistant said as they both walked into a room all the detectives even criminals know as the dark room.

He walked directly to the criminal and said " You are going to tell me the leader of this atrocity acts in this city or you are gonna be damaged more than that " by saying that the criminal started to panic he was screaming but his voice wasn't loud enough and even if loud whose going to save him by now the criminal had a swollen eye, most of his teeth were already plunged out, his knees broken, that was the act of detective Nathan wood.

" are you ready to talk Greene?".

With the agony in his eyes he could afford to allow this monster of a detective damage him anymore so he nodded slowly with tears rolling down his eyes.

" I think it'll be nice to offer you a drink as we chat don't you think?" the detective said directing his assistant to go get them refreshments.

" So who is it ?"

with pains and blood pouring down his lips he muttered " Winston locksmith sir ".

The detective smiled and said " Finally, then am going to send him a message ".
