" Tell me where is Winston locksmith or any of his siblings?" Calvin shouted as Morris who was being interrogated through beatings.
" I said I don't know " Morris answered panting and sweating with blood all over his body, Calvin ordered his men to calm down a bit as he walked closer to Morris and asked again but this time he was a bit scarier than the other times he asked the question.
Morris looked directly into his eyes with fear, he thought he would die a respectful death but here he was being dragged to his grave bit by bit.
Morris hesitated replying Calvin who's expression glares anger and pain at the same time.
" Is your tongue swollen Morris " Calvin asked as he drew himself away from Morris and with a snap of his finger ordered them to finish the job as he walked out with Morris screaming in the room " I know nothing....".
Calvin walked out the. corridor as he kept muttering the words
" I'll end the locksmith " as he heard the screams of Morris died down as gunshots was being fired.
Charles sat down on a wooden chair reading a book and by his side on a table he kept his tea still in his morning robe.
" Nothing is more refreshing than a nice tea in the morning " he said to himself.
He was sitting in the middle of a hall surrounded by chains and pipes he stood up and with a clap a group of men dressed in black coats as soon as they came in they distributed themselves across the room.
On the ground beside the chair he sat Catherine was struggling to get up.
" Good morning sister how was the nap, am sorry I had to you know drug you but it the easiest way to have you follow my plan " Charles said to her.
" What stupid plan are you talking about " she asked by now she was fully on her feet.
" Will you all do me the kindness of waking them up " Charles said to the people ignoring his sister's question.
She looked around, that's when she noticed people being chained around the room, some even tortured and some in other ways are dead.
" What are you doing with all this people Charles?" she said shifting backwards.
" Don't be scared sister it's only our family, all this people walking around are temporary, look around sister I've done some searching and with this act everything will back to normal " Charles said to her.
She looked across the room and noticed Collins been hanged upsidedown beside him she saw a familiar someone Rogers as they both were hanged same way, by her left she saw two of their family members who has never been in her mind to see again, potter locksmith and Laura locksmith who are close cousins, beside them a man who looked popped up she looked closely and his name came crawling her mind " Benedict finn locksmith " she muttered.
He is the only brother of their father, in other words he is their uncle, whom they all thought died years ago.
" Oh now sister you see I am bringing the family together even if am going to use a hammer hand to handle things " Charles said smiling.
Behind her she saw Winston and Clinton chained vertically with blood dripping from their heads " These are almost all our rigid relatives around London " she said directing the question to Charles who turned around looking directly at her picked up his tea cup and said
" It'll all be over cath, as soon as they wake up we'll all have a life changing chat and most especially uncover secrets that people we call family are hiding from us " Charles as he ordered some men to take her where she could get freshened up before leaving she looked around once more and smiled, Even if it was a bad sight seeing her siblings chained up like this it's been long since they had a family get together she thought and walked out with Charles shouting behind her " Let us begin ".
" We just found him lying behind a clubhouse with his pulse low so we brought him to the hospital that's when we found out he's a cop " a voice said.
" What the hell was he doing in a clubhouse?" another voice said.
Detective Nathan wood just laid on the hospital bed listening to the voices as they both were in a confused conversation.
" Hello people am detective Nolan Fletcher and I think I have orders to see a colleague of mine ". Nathan heard a familiar voice as he struggled opening his eyes to see Nolan and two other men talking.
* How the hell am I in the hospital I was just knocked down in the head why all this *
" Hey " Nathan said sitting upright.
" Sir you aren't fit to be discharged " one of the men said.
" I think I'll take it from here " Nolan said.
The two men excused them.
" What the hell happened to you Nate, quite an odd place you were found almost dead " Nolan said.
" How long have I been out?" Nathan asked fully sitting on the bed.
" I don't know maybe two days " Nolan replied him.
* What the hell happened in that club, who were those people who took Catherine away *
" I followed Catherine into the clubhouse, and there I couldn't see her just found the man that was with her drunk, only looking around and found someone taking her through the back I followed them but getting out someone knocked me out and here I am on a bed in the hospital " Nathan said.
" Someone took her? we're you able to identify their face?" Nolan asked.
" That's the problem I had no time to think or say a word " Nathan replied.
" You know you need to get your ass out of here the chief has a special mission for us both " Nolan said.
" Then let's go " Nathan said standing up.
" Whoa whoa mate, as much as I don't like you I'll still say you need a lot of rest gor this one alright " Nolan said making him sit down back the bed.
" What type of mission are we going on Nolan?" Nathan asked.
" The type that's needs someone full strength " Nolan said and walked to the door and added before leaving
" By tomorrow I think your strength will be on full scale and so you know that friend of Catherine locksmith was found dead an alley from here so when you get out I will say be careful moreover most street gangers now knows you are a cop, forget about your past glories in London Nathan the new code isn't suitable for people like us "
" Even if the worst comes to the worse we'll get everything back to normal " Nathan said to Nolan who laughed and added
" Then I'll see you tomorrow " he said and left the room.
* Who wants to cause more pain in London by taking the sister of Winston locksmith * Nathan said in thought as he looked out the window to see the streets of London more free than ever.
"Ugh hmmm " Winston said as he struggles to open his eyes.
" And hallelujah Winston is awake I think we can begin, come in guys bring him down the chains " Winston heard a voice say.
He was brought down the chain and dragged to a round table where he opened his eyes fully to see Charles sitting in the front like the boss of a company, it was more like a conference gathering or better said a family gathering, by the left side of the gathering sat potter, Clinton, and Laura locksmith by his left sat Catherine, Collins, Benedict locksmith and behind them sat Edward Rogers wm expression of shock was all over Winston's face.
* I thought I killed him * Winston thought.
" Oh Winston don't be surprised Rogers is here right now even though he's supposed to be dead " Charles said.
" What's all this about Charles " potter asked.
" Nice question potter we are all gathered here to form a partnership that none of us dare break unless he wants to die painfully " Charles announced.
" Last time I remember you were a scholar and has no business with our kind of world " Winston said to Charles who smiled before replying
" Well Winston dear, I had my plans from the get go and this gathering has always been in my mind and now that we all are here I better say it before it's too late, my family our parents are unavailable at the moment so am putting on myself as the eldest to say the locksmith empire has lost its touch and the best allies we need now is the empire and possibly a good business family from the east known as the illusionist " Charles said.
Everyone was quiet.
" The illusionist are a notorious group doing all kind of illegal marketing in New York doing business with them might not be a good idea " Laura said.
As everyone turned heads looking at Charles as he said
" That's the more reason we should partner up with them, this will bring the locksmith empire back to it's original position, the top " Charles said as they all heard chuckles.
" Is something funny Winston?" Benedict locksmith asked.
" Are you obviously asking me what's funny besides you are the one we grew up to know died before we got the chance to be close do don't question my arrogance. As for you charles I thought you ran away from home what suddenly inspired you to rule London like you are are the boss of us, we have a choice of our own you know and my plan will be more helpful, eradicate London of any threat and face our mutual enemy the blue london " Winston said as heads turn to Charles awaiting his response.
Charles scoffed took a glass of wine and said
" I know I've not been around lately but I have Intel's on what everyone has been up to since my departure, so Winston to answer your question, that's why our friend Edward Rogers is here with us " Charles said as he gulped in wine, whilst the rest looked directly at Rogers as he sat down scared out of his mind.
" Is this necessary we being brought together in one place and talk about alliance with other category of people with someone who hasn't been part of family for years " Collins said.
" Says the one who if giving a chance will betray us all, just like what happened with you and our dear sister " Charles said.
" How did you know that?" Collins asked.
" I have ears Collins and if we are to continue our family reunion we'll have to spill secrets out our chest so we are going to leave Rogers for now and speak out greatest errors to family, you first Clinton " Charles said.
" I have no godforsaken secret to hide, am clean " Clinton said.
" Like I said earlier people I've been preparing for this day my whole life " Charles snapped his fingers as a bottle of liquid was brought and kept in the table.
" What are those " Laura asked.
" Oh this cousin is a truth serum bringing out ones true self he has been hiding all his life and our first test today will be Clinton " Charles said.
" If that's going to be what's going to calm you down, why don't I give it a try " Clinton said.
The liquid was passed to Clinton who drank a little and kept the remaining, they all waited a while then Charles asked
" What are you hiding?" Charles asked.
" Like I said nothing " Clinton replied him as Charles smiled and said
" I think Clinton is clean now our next victim, Benedict locksmith " Charles said as they gave him the liquid.
He hesitated before drinking a little and after a while Charles asked " What are you hiding?".
" Am sorry I can't say " Benedict replied as everyone took more interest in what he was going to say.
" Am sorry the demise of Aaron locksmith was part of my insidious plan am sorry I can't say more " Benedict said as tears started rolling down his eyes.
" What the hell are you saying " Collins asked.
" I can't " Benedict replied and left the room.
"Well well well now that a little secret is out what do we do next "
Charles said.
" is this your doing?" potter asked.
" I don't think it's his doing, moreover the moment I got here I knew Benedict and this asshole are familiar with each other " Winston said referring to Rogers.
Charles glanced at Catherine who nodded in agreement.
" Winston, I and Catherine have considered just moments ago that it will be wise if he took the serum and we ask him whatever we want " Charles said.
Collins stood up walking vigorously towards Rogers who was unable to move, Collins was held on the way by potter.
" Calm down cousin not yet " potter said to Collins dragging him back to his seat.
" I think it'll be best if you drink up " Clinton said offering the liquid to Rogers.
" I don't need a truth serum to tell what happened years ago " Rogers said.
" Then speak out before it will be late " Charles said across the room.
" Can I at least have a drink " Rogers said.
" Here we are back in office doing what exactly " Nathan said.
" Calm down Nathan the chief will soon be here " a detective said.
" In my office now " the chief called out walking into his office.
Nathan hurriedly followed him into his office.
On entering the office he saw the chief sitting beside the window.
" Do you know the mission I have for you and Nolan, Nathan?" the chief asked.
" No sir I have no idea " Nathan replied.
" To what we have been investigating the locksmith are missing on London soil I know that is a good thing, but no one knows what next they're planning though that's not the main mission, ever heard of the group called blue london or illusionist?" the chief asked.
" Not really sir " Nathan said.
" I want you both to help me catch the leaders of the notorious groups, so you know the illusionist are a new York gang doing business with London, be careful Nathan it's not going to be easy " the chief said.
Nathan nodded about walking out when the chief said
" Make sure you both get along well " the chief said.
As he walked out only to see Nolan Fletcher waiting.
" Are you ready for this " Nolan asked Nathan who stopped right in front of Nolan and replied
" No one is ready for this " Nathan said as they both walked out the door.
