The heart of man is dark, so dark that they thought love could bring out the light, but love is just a vessel used when the heart is about to crumble, even if everyone isn't the same, as human beings that we are we are all identical, because our minds are ugly equally.
5 YEARS AGO.
" Do you know why I started this empire Alfred?" Aaron locksmith said calmly while sipping on his drink.
" Not really sir "
" The world is changing roughly and with a quick reasoning power has to be obtained. Do you want to have power Alfred? if you want to, loyalty ain't the best path kiddo, the act of incising your followers around you brings the real man you are. So Alfred where ever you find yourself in life and whoever you meet always put this in mind that our greatest enemy in life holding us back is our mind don't forget that " Aaron locksmith said fixing his eyes on a golden sculpture mounted at the far room Corner then he chuckled and said " Alfred you do know I have a lot of enemies who wishes that am found dead so peace will fall on London, the real fact is peace has been stepped on without any regard ".
" Why so sir ?"
" This empire is everything I've got and you know what I love more than anything even the business?" Aaron locksmith asked.
" What's that sir ?"
" My family, and the only way they can break me is through them, you know secrets bring loyalty and loyalty most times bring in the mindset of betrayal, please don't betray me " Aaron locksmith said but this time his voice was a little dim and steady which had Alfred a bit afraid hesitating to respond, Aaron locksmith asked " Or do you want to?, if you are don't let Winston pinch out your motives ".
" Why tell me all this things sir am just a loyal servant I don't need to " Alfred said.
Before Aaron locksmith could say more Winston walked in, and in that second Alfred heart skipped, looking at Winston's eyes made his blood a little slow, he couldn't move, his words couldn't be audible.
" Are you okay " Winston asked.
" I..I..I think I am " he said stuttering.
" could you excuse us Alfred?" Aaron locksmith said.
Alfred nodded and walked out.
" You know putting every trust on your subjects ain't bringing in good business old man " Winston said.
" I know, anyone can kill me anytime any day, but Alfred isn't anyone, to my checking he is part family " Aaron locksmith said then gulped a little wine.
" Sometimes family crumbles a man " Winston replied.
" The way you gave the family a huge space? So why are you here Winston?" Aaron locksmith asked.
" I want to be in the business fully and I want a top spot " Winston replied.
" Hmmm so you want to come back " Aaron locksmith said.
" Not really, just want to be part of the business " Winston said. As soon as he said that his father started laughing.
" What's so funny " he asked.
" It'll be better if you go back where you're from Winston, if anybody is going to be ruling after me it should be Clinton so no you're not welcome " Aaron locksmith said this time the smiles on his face were no longer visible. His father stood up from his table and said " It's nice having you visit Winston, goodbye ". He left Winston in the room he was about stepping out when Alfred ran to him and said " You are needed downstairs sir ". And they both left with Winston on a call.
" Sir your son don't look too happy is something wrong?" Alfred asked.
" Nothing to bother about " Aaron locksmith said with a smile on his face.
Alfred put on a frown suddenly hearing those words.
PRESENT DAY.
Winston who was day drinking at the pool of his house, a relaxing day being stress free he needed a break from all the news about London and far more, Winston was the only one in the family who enjoys a good time alone in a quiet place he was about drifting into a marvelous nap when mason came calling.
" Sir Winston a detective is here to see you ".
As soon as the word detective was mentioned his eyes opened.
" I'll be there in five " he replied.
The detective Nathan wood walked into the residence and in that minutes his expression changed into the 'WOW' expression, the house was huge with a wall of old images about historical events, a staircase made of silver like crystals, golden sculptures and things the detective couldn't pick out. He was still looking around when he heard " What fascinates you detective, is it the pictures, the house size or what " the detective turned and saw Winston in his normal wears a complete black suit to match the day.
With a distrusting smile he answered " Not bad for a criminal ".
" You know you can't call me that without a better evidence and I don't see myself as one " Winston said.
" Shame it is, you of all people still having the courage of playing the mastermind, how annoying "
"What brings you to my home detective? I don't recall inviting you "
" Stop playing the fool, I came here because I was directed to you by your man, are you familiar with the name Greene?" Nathan wood asked.
" Is that another detective?" Winston asked.
" Still secretive right, it'll not be long before karma catches up with you ".
" Is that a threat detective? Because if it is, you are just hanging on a thread, you can arrest me or even shoot to kill but the main truth is you killing me will make you the center of attention and you might loose your life in the process, so why don't we make a truce and keep things cool as you take your leave " Winston said.
" Hmm I'll take my leave like you said I have no evidence to accuse you of a crime so till we meet again " Nathan wood said.
Winston was about walking out of the room when detective Nathan said " I know something is dark about you I just simply can't figure it out, but you can't hide yourself forever, I'll find your true motives and put you where you belong locksmith ".
" I'll like to see you try " Winston replied and walked out.
Detective Nathan wood stood beside his car a while as he was lost in thought all of a sudden it came to his notice Aaron locksmith wasn't that old and according to his colleagues died in his sleep, a God of crime with all caution of people around him found dead and to add his burial was hidden and yet a month later Winston took charge, Clinton became a guardian to Winston could kill anyone at anytime if he suspects, Catherine nowhere to be found, and Collins a successful businessman what is happening in this family and come to think of it where is Alfred?.
5 YEARS AGO.
" How did you know Clinton that Alfred made the call " Winston asked.
" I took a little investigation and my instincts took me to the truth he is a cop and he infiltrated us to get to dad, for over 3 years he's been planning this, that's why I gave you a call the day you went to see our father " Clinton answered. With both of them panting and sweating profusely they turned looking at the city from a rooftop watching as smoke and ashes were clouding the sky, with police sirens blaring round the city.
" It's time to retake what is ours and you know where we're going to start from don't you?" Winston asked.
" let's do this ".
3 HOURS BEFORE THE INCIDENT.
" Clinton you know my enemies are at large and at this rate soon London will break a little...." Aaron locksmith was saying then he was cut off by Alfred as he walked in with a gun before Clinton could react two other men holding a gun walked in a smile soon was traced on Alfred's face.
" What next locksmith? A swoosh escape going to happen soon? Come on do something don't make it look a bit of cheating " Alfred said as he started to laugh.
" At last a peaceful end, just one problem though am about to be killed by an idiot " Aaron locksmith said with disgust.
" I don't believe you are the one capable of doing this how heartbreaking " Clinton added.
" Haha the end is truly near the mighty Aaron locksmith and his notorious son Clinton at the mercy of my bullets how happy I am " Alfred said.
After he said those words he used his hands directing his colleagues to kill them.
They were about walking towards them when a sniper shot the men down, with his face in shock he ran out the room.
" Make the call Clinton it's about time " Aaron locksmith said as they both left the house about leaving the house when another shot was taking straight to the chest of Aaron locksmith, Clinton drove out with full speed on getting the highway his father had lost a lot of blood.
" Tell Winston to bring them all down Clinton " Aaron locksmith said repeatedly.
The car park as Clinton started to cry he looked at his father, his father is dead. He took out his phone and made the call " let the riot begin, Aaron locksmith is dead " he said and the call went dead.
