15 YEARS BACK.
" Here we are seated together ready to take back what's ours from the start, just so you know, everyone in this room is a partaker of the good future that awaits us and I'll say this once, if you wish to back out now please do so " Calvin leash said.
As everyone was murmuring in agreement to stay till the end.
" I see we've made up our minds so before we get back to things help me welcome Benedict locksmith the mastermind of it all " Calvin added as everyone started to cheer.
Benedict walked out the dark and smiled at everyone.
" it's been years since we've been waiting for this moment and to tell you the truth I have the perfect plan to get rid of Aaron locksmith once and for all, all I want is your cooperation nothing more, to eliminate someone like Aaron we need a vital plan and when I say vital I mean a plan that no matter the obstacle most come as expected, and what I know is soon we'll all sit down together and have a wonderful party celebrating the downfall of our enemy " Benedict said with a smirk across his face.
" Can I be in participation of this course "
Heads turn as they saw Edward Rogers a man no one is in partnership with over any business they call him the lone Wolf.
" Edward Rogers how kind of you to join us " Benedict said to him who stood at an angle where everyone in the room wouldn't really notice him.
They soon noticed tears rolling down his eyes and with little sobs.
Everyone was soon distracted from what they were really there for.
" Is something the matter Rogers?" Calvin asked.
" He killed my son, Victor is dead, Winston locksmith killed my son what then is worth living for " Rogers asked as he broke down in tears.
" Winston locksmith? To my hearing he will soon be sixteen, how then did a fifteen year old teenager kill your son whom we all know is an executive in the union, your son will soon be twenty one Rogers " Calvin said aloud.
" That kid is the devil himself, alongside his brother Clinton, I want my revenge, I don't care what it takes even if it's going back to hell to get vengeance " Rogers said.
The whole room was silent.
" Then welcome to the family, there's room for One more " Benedict said with smiles on his face.
The party continued as members of this gathering were at joy that they all will be the face of London even if the government doesn't approve.
The night was soon at the edge of retirement as everyone started going to their humble destination.
" To our notice, you my friend is the best strategy we have " Calvin leash said.
" Do what was the plan before my arrival?" Rogers asked.
" Am afraid Rogers, we know you too well to be in full details about what we all discussed, so you doing it the we just planned will secured your spot in this group and you know what gain our trust, so what do you think " Benedict said with smiles on his face.
" Bullocks and absurd, what if I get killed in the process?" Rogers asked with anger.
" No such thing will happen, besides it's not that if a problem make a friend inside the house of the locksmith and use that to end our number one priority and maybe in the process have your revenge with his son " Calvin leash said.
Rogers looked at the both of them frantically.
" If it works, then what?" Rogers asked.
" We all are free "
" Does he know you are still alive ".
" if he does the plan won't be this easy my friend " Benedict replied him.
It was already passed twelve, Rogers sat down looking straight at the moon as he was lost in thought until he was distracted by the sound of footsteps approaching him.
He turned around to see Calvin standing behind him silently. He looked closely and saw Calvin with blood on his face and hands.
" I want the both of us to have a very clean conversation Rogers, I have come to figure out that Benedict is trying to cut us out of the plan, both the first and second plan so I did what I had to do, I gave him a little silencing and restructured the plan " he scoffed and continued
" Benedict locksmith is a mastermind and is currently in possession of the one gang in power many are afraid of, the blue london. To what I have planned we'll own this blue london and use it as our advantage to be what we all have been dreaming about, Gods of London, that even the cops will be under our command " Calvin concluded.
" How, how did you easily cut him out?" Rogers asked shakily.
" Don't worry lad, and like I said I only silenced him, so before you get all cranky here is the plan " He knelt beside scared Rogers who seemed to have accepted his fate.
" I heard Benedict locksmith is in business with his brother through his official gang, the blue london, the men in business with Aaron locksmith is the one and only philman brothers " Calvin said.
" How am I going to be able to convince them both Calvin?"
" You just need a bit of persistence on Jenkins philman that's all "
" In the end what am I going out with?" Rogers asked.
" There's no going out my friend, we'll be the out anyone is going to seek " Calvin said and left him as he resumed his scary thought once more.
PRESENT DAY.
" So you are trying to say Calvin leash double crossed you when you were trying to make everything easy, and that the blue london was yours from the start, and that the philman brothers followed him fully because they thought you were dead for the second time " Collins said.
" Some people are just bad at killing " Clinton said looking directly at Benedict who sat in the middle as everyone was all ears on what he was saying.
" But the philman brothers weren't the ones who executed the plan, to what I know Alfred did it all " Winston said.
" Yes, Alfred indeed was the final step, however there are things that we too don't understand, the plan didn't really go as planned but we found out Aaron locksmith died so we to played along " Rogers said.
" What was your original plan?" Winston asked Rogers.
" infiltrate, then kill Aaron locksmith and whoever gets in our way " Rogers replied almost immediately.
" Alfred didn't help us because we persuaded him, he did it out of his own selfish interest, which we didn't get to find out before the both of you killed him " Rogers said referring his words to Winston and Clinton.
" Well all the members of the blue london are assholes " Clinton said.
" Alright family, now that we are all relieved from our troubled hearts why don't we have a drink?" Charles said behind them holding a glass of wine.
" You don't know what you are doing locksmiths, if the blue london collapses, the threshold will intervene, the threshold will always be in the favor of the blue london, that means you lots are going to be in a very awkward position " Rogers said as he started to laugh.
" What do you know about the threshold?" Charles asked as he dropped the Glass he was holding looking more serious and dangerous, the way his eyes glowed in the dim room made Winston a little suspicious.
" Not much, but I know your mother might have something to do with it " Rogers said still in laughs.
" What? you have no right to talk about anyone in this family, most especially my mother " Charles said aggressively as he brought out a gun and shot Rogers in the head the room was a bit quiet.
" Now that we got the lump out why don't we have the drink I once mentioned?" Charles said.
" Funny, the way you said it makes it sound like a dead body isn't laying on the ground with blood splashed all over the place " Collins said in disgust.
" Why didn't you let him finish what he was saying, he was saying something about mom " Catherine said to Charles who was pouring himself a glass of scotch pretending not to care.
" If you guys are not interested in a nice time with the bottle you should wisely leave " Charles said without looking at any of them.
Catherine walked out followed by Laura, then potter.
" What going to happen next Charles, we just come together as family and start over with the business causing havoc like never before, you know this act is absurd " Winston Said to Charles.
Charles turned facing Winston slurping on his drink before replying.
" You know Winston our family is supposed to be the ones owning London like a dictatorship, if no one is going to understand me, you Winston I know is going to be an Ally to me. Winston I know I've not been around for a while but I never for once thought outside family, you should understand I'm doing this for our well being and the betterment of the business. Blue London or no blue london I don't really care. If you are scared you guys can just say it " Charles said.
" You know family can always break, take a look at uncle Benedict and our father, the promises they made to rise up the business together crumbled because of greed, so what makes you so sure that we can stand by each other?" Collins said directly to Charles.
In chuckles he replied.
" I see you've grown way more than I thought so I'll this, keep your mouth shut anytime older ones are in a huge discussion " Charles said with a kind of nasty tone.
" So I'm just....."
" Keep calm Collins, it ain't up to that. Back to you Charles, you want me to be in partnership with the people of your choice of whom I don't know, I'll tell you this, it doesn't mean because you are the eldest you get to choose what we want, I once told you Charles I have a choice of my own " Winston said then turned to his brothers.
" Let's get the hell out of here " Winston added and started walking out.
" This is one big discission you're going to regret Winston, don't say I didn't warn " Charles yelled behind them. They paid him no attention and left the building.
Outside of London a black site was created in other to investigate and interrogate those citizens or non citizens who breaks the law. Inside the building two men dressed up in lab coats covered in blood stood in front of the suspect in custody, Alfonso.
Agent Sofia walked in with a distressed look on her face and asked.
" Has he said anything?"
The torturers shook their heads in disagreement indicating that he has been playing dumb since he was brought in and that the tortures mean nothing to him.
She looked at Alfonso in a vile manner and all of a sudden a smile appeared on her face.
" I see, I did my research Mr Alfonso and guess what I found?" she asked Alfonso who was in pains and was sweating profusely.
Alfonso shook his head replying her no.
" You are married with two kids, imagine what does kids will turn out to be seeing their mother die in front of them, so traumatizing isn't it?" she said to him.
He started panting with pleas.
" Don't hurt my family I am begging you ".
" Then tell me what I want ". she screamed at him.
" You don't understand, I can't " he replied.
" Hmmm I see your job is more important to you than your family " she said about walking out when he shouted " Wait ".
She stopped abruptly turned around looking at him flicking her her showing that she's waiting to hear what he has in mind.
" The only information I have is the name of the man I work for " He kept quiet raised his head looking directly at her as tears started rolling down his cheeks.
" Say his name Alfonso, get it out " she encouraged.
" He's going to kill me " he said to her.
" Tell us Alfonso and we'll provide protection for you and your family that's a promise " she replied him with her eyes fixed on his face.
He took in air, cleared up his throat before finally speaking.
" His name is Charles and he is the first son of Aaron locksmith and so you know, the leader of the illusionist ".
She raised her head with fear all over her face.
" How do I know you are not lying to me?" She asked.
" Because there is no point in keeping it to myself when I know I'll die anytime soon " Alfonso replied.
She kept silent for a while then asked.
" Where can we find him?".
" You don't, if he wants you there then you see him but finding his location it's impossible " Alfonso replied her as he started muttering the words " Am dead ".
" If he is truly the son of Aaron locksmith, then whatever he is planning is going to be big " She said to herself and walked out the room.
