Have you asked yourself this, what if am the bad guy or what if am the villain? no matter where you direct your mind to it won't change the fact that every man has his reason doing what he does whether it's good or bad.
The morning was a bit shallow, it looked as if it was about to rain, the city of London was a bit quiet and peaceful, it was a Thursday and everyone was busy not caring what had been going on the past few days, it was calm, something was different, a two way case one either something will soon happen, two or there's more to expect so just enjoy your day.
Detective Nathan wood and a colleague he hates being on a expedition Nolan Fletcher was spotted at a familiar coffee shop at Bloomsbury the lever and bloom's.
They both sat quietly, Nathan was basically thinking and strategizing on how he would be able to know the truth, the main origin of it all and stop it.
Nolan was actively using his phone without raising a head or saying a word.
" What can I get for you sir?" the barista said with smiles across her face.
Noland who the question was directed to was still busy with his phone.
" Uhm just one cup of coffee will do " Nathan answered with a warm smile.
" Anything else sir?" she asked Nathan.
" Nothing for now " he answered then she left.
Nathan then studied Nolan for a while, it looked as if he was chatting with a female because sometimes his expression will change to that of happiness and then back to the main Nolan.
To what all other officers are on notice about is that Nathan wood and Nolan Fletcher are the most self made, dangerous and straight forward cops all over London, but comparing the two together Nolan Fletcher is quite a human being so pervious with every thing he attaches himself to.
" Hmmm at least Nolan be polite to people it will help you get along " Nathan said.
Nolan was still quiet but his hand had stopped typing, he raised his head slowly and then asked
" What's the status update on Winston locksmith and his companion " Nolan said ignoring what Nathan was talking about.
" Funny how are you going to blend in still acting like.....you know the old you ".
" Okay Nate you want to talk about my attitude or my emotions or whatever you think is my flaws? alright am all ears " Nolan said acting more interested in what Nathan was talking about.
" It's been years since we both left London to this so called businessmen, and me being back I realized Nolan, most of our colleagues are in partnership with this people and we keep on acting spacy we might be a perfect target without us knowing the main truth about all of this acts causing curfews all over London, I know we don't really like each other and I don't have the slightest reason why we are in a coffee shop together but I want you to be with me on this " Nathan said.
Nolan looked at him for a while without saying a word. The barista soon came back with a cup of coffee she was about giving the cup to detective Nathan when Nolan collected the coffee ignoring the barista and Nathan.
" Sir you never ordered anything " the barista said with a confused look.
" Yes you are right but right now I have an appetite for the coffee so just bring another one same as this alright " Nolan said.
The barista looked at Nathan and with the smiles on Nathan's face she left without getting annoyed as she walked away.
" How convenient, am a bit happy we are getting along aren't you " Nathan asked.
" not at all Nathan, after all this we are done " Nolan said with his expression a bit dim.
" I am expecting nothing less ". he said as he peaked through the window and saw a black river parked beside the shop after a few moment of looking very close at the shotgun door opened and the person that stepped out was no one other than Catherine locksmith he was a bit surprised without saying anything to Nolan who had already fixed his eyes back to his phone.
He watched as the main driver came out the man had white hair and dressed like a rockstar singer.
" I thought you locked her up, did you let her go because she's beautiful?".
Nathan heard Nolan said quietly without turning away from his phone.
" alright alright, I released her so what and why the hell are you all fixed on your phone " Nathan asked.
" Keeping myself busy " Nolan replied slowly.
" At least am not releasing anyone as you did " Nolan added making Nathan a bit provoked.
" Here is your coffee sir " the barista said, kept the cup and left.
" Don't tell me you are into the Catherine chick?" Nolan asked with a tune of mockery.
" You're crazy man, really really crazy " Nathan said as he stood up and walked outside.
" Oh here we go again, the big bad wolf to the chase " Nolan muttered as hell stood pulled out his wallet and counted some cash, dropped a little in the table then followed Nathan.
If anyone in the city was talking about the locksmith the name Collins would never pop in their mind. He sat down writing in his journal was dressed up like someone prepared for a meeting, but he sat comfortably on a stool inside his study room.
" Sir he's awake " a voice said behind the door as he stood up almost immediately.
The day was already sunny all the dark cloud were gone Collins was taking a walk with his old friend Edward Rogers who was Three times his age, they were walking to the pool of the building with Collins walking ahead of Rogers.
" You know we could be able to make things right around everything we own even those we love being safe if we'll be able to agree to a certain goal sir Rogers " Collins said.
" What goal is that?" Rogers asked.
" Come in Rogers don't act all of a sudden dumb because you and I are very familiar with what I am talking about " Collins said but this time his voice was steadier and serious.
" Okay, you said you want to know the leader of the thug gang blue london " Rogers answered.
" Good, now we both are understanding each other aren't we?" Collins added as he let out a laugh in a paroxysmal way.
" What's your grand plan genius?" Rogers asked.
" You don't need to know Rogers but you'll just have to go with the flow " Collins answered.
Just then the gardener walked to them with a letter in his hands, he walked directly to Collins and whispered something in his ear.
" perfect timing " Collins exclaimed, the gardener left with the letter already with Collins.
" Can we both keep our conversation waiting I've got bigger things to handle " Collins said and left leaving Rogers alone standing beside the pool, as he was thought considering whether he should just run away or stay and be in the security of Collins even if he knew that helping Collins about the blue london might cause more damage and even if he doesn't want to care about the damage what about Winston and Clinton what if words get to them that he was still alive what's gonna happen? Collins is the best option for now going to Calvin would be a risk, it's better to hide and strategize than been free walking without any concept of better days.
He sat down a while, as he looked at the sky breath out relief " For what it's worth am alive " he muttered to himself.
" The city is now a disaster unlike when we were the men running the place "
" When we're you ever running any place?"
" quiet you all, we need to own our city be the solid rock it's been searching for....."
" Solid rock?".
A voice said as everyone turned heads to see a tall man with shaved beard with sunglasses matching with his ash coloured suit.
The guys close by drew out their guns.
" Whoa whoa whoa it hasn't got to this lads, come on am just here to see Montreal Margaux " the man said with an American accent.
" Spy " one of the men said as all of them drew out their guns pointing it at him, shouting at him to kneel with his hands up.
" What's going on here?" a female voice said behind them.
they turned to see Margaux standing vibrant looking beautiful as ever, to what everyone knew about the Montreal empire is that they have never been ruled by a male the truth is when it's time they find an able man to pleasure them and they give birth to babies killing the males and training the female who'll be the next dictator, but Margaux is different she had been in many relationship and has a daughter who is becoming 10 soon.
She walked pass them and stood in front of the man.
" You haven't changed much quite impressive for a man like you, so what trouble am I in now for having a locksmith visit at a time like this?" she said with her fingers running all over his chest and neck.
By now her followers were a bit confused a locksmith they all wondered.
" Well I might tell you if your goons will do the honours of lowering their guns " he replied smiling at them.
" Come on boys don't scare away our guest " she said playfully.
" You know I don't get a lot of visitors lately, and if I may your brothers has turned the city to hell over what again...the death if a friend so me killing you my precious enemy will just make me a target, no no no I don't want that now what do you think ?" she said finally and walked a meter away from him.
" Well I'll say you look pretty as ever " he added smiling back at her.
" Haha are you flirting with me because if you are it's a big mistake, if I may ask what is the main reason you are here?" she asked.
" To see you privately " he replied.
She walked away instructing her followers to bring him along, as they immediately obliged and dragged him to her office.
They walked into her office which looked like a conference hall, she walked calmly and sat at the front then instructed him to sit down while the rest were excused out of the room.
" What do you want to talk about Charles " she asked.
" Well since we both have same family troubles I'll say we tackle it before a world war happens in our own city " he said casually.
" Funny how you said we have same family troubles when our family have different agenda " she said.
" You know me seating alone with you makes me remember the good old days "
" The good old days? those days are gone right now we are in the era of Winston locksmith and if care is not taking Charles both of us won't be alive to tell the tale of our survival " she said with her voice more serious.
" You just got to where am going, how to help my brother from condemning himself so am giving you an option or should I say a proposal " he said looking directly into her eyes.
" Which is?" she asked.
" Have you heard about the illusionist?" he asked her who was surprised the moment he mentioned the name illusionist.
" The illusionist are one of a kind illegal marketers known and feared all over New York City they don't normally do business with us from this part of the world, Charles everyone in London having a thing or two to do with gangs and illegal acts has heard about the illusionist " she said with a gesture showing that she knows everything about the illusionist.
" Wow you are doing great what else do you know about them?" he asked her.
" Nobody ever double cross them not in the west Indies or the Asians that's one thing I do know " she said.
" Well I think they might be the better side to stop this violence in London don't you think?" he said.
" You once said you are giving me two proposal so what's the second?" she asked.
" I am a very happy after all this years Margaux you are the lead I have to know who is the blue London's leader " he said with a direct look to her eyes.
After he said those she looked at him with a surprised look, she was short of words.
Winston stood at the roof top of the London Tower as he looked down and muttered to himself " I am back " as the sounds of sirens and cars were filling his ears.
