Chapter 14 - Shadows of Betrayal

He was about to start his

breakfast when Andre emerged from the

house, looking surprisingly refreshed.

"Morning," Andre greeted, sitting down

across from Samuel. "Clara found me

some clothes. Fit pretty well."

"Good," Samuel replied, forcing a smile.

"How's the arm?"

"Still attached," Andre joked, glancing at

the bandage. "Could be worse."

They began eating, the comfortable

silence of old friends settling over them.

After a while, Andre looked up, his

expression serious. "So, where do we

start with this new player?"

Samuel sighed, his gaze fixed on the

horizon. "We need to find out who they

are and what they want. Fast. We can't

afford any more surprises."

As they discussed their plans, Samuel's

phone buzzed with a message from

Hana. She had sent him a picture of the

safe house's garden, with a note: "Wish

you were here."

He smiled, feeling warmth spread

through him. He texted back, "Soon, my

love. Stay strong."

Andre noticed the exchange and

grinned. "You're a lucky man, Samuel."

"I know," Samuel replied, his voice filled

with emotion. "And I'm going to make

sure I never lose her."

After completing their breakfast, Samuel

and Andre returned to the office. As

they entered, Leo greeted them,

accompanied by the head of

intelligence. Without delay, they briefed

Samuel on their latest findings: they had

identified five potential suspects who

might be the mole they were searching

for. With a mix of determination and

concern, Samuel absorbed the

information. It was a critical moment in

their investigation, and they needed to

act swiftly. Together with Leo and the

intelligence head, they devised a plan to

set a trap and uncover the true identity

of the mole.

At afternoon in Samuel's office, Samuel,

Andre, and Leo sat in a room, discussing

their efforts to catch the mole kept the

door open, "We are very much tried to

find the mole, but he is very smart and

we're unable to trap him," Andre said,

Samuel nodding in agreement. "I guess I

should only focus on keeping Hana safe

for now. She is safe in Allibridge with

Luka, and I don't know for how long,

and others, you all also find something

good for yourselves. I guess our enemy

will take in all our business," Samuel

said, and all others agreed.

Later that night, a well-dressed man

walked into one of Samuel's clubs and

took a seat, sipping a drink. It seemed

like he was waiting for someone. Later,

another well-dressed man walked in and

joined the man who was already waiting

for him, ordering a drink and asking the

man sitting beside him, "What's the

news? What made you call me so

urgently?" The man sitting beside him

turned to him with a smile, "It's a very

important and big news, my friend. First,

why don't you have a sip?" he offered

him his glass, given by the waiter.

The man replied, "Hmm... what is that

big and very important news my friend?"

after taking a sip of his whisky. The man

sitting beside him smiled and said, "I

found out where Hana is." The man

setting beside him, who was about to

take another sip, held back his hand and

looked at him with a serious face, "Are

you sure?" he asked. The other man

nodded, taking the sip and keeping his

glass down with a smirk. "I heard him

himself telling it to his men; he even told

that he can't with our boss," the other

man put on a smirk and asked, "So tell

me the location, my friend?" The other

man nodded on no with a laugh and

said, "First, you promise me to give me

double the amount you had given me

the last time, only then I will tell you, my

friend." He kept laughing, and the other

man looked at him with a smirk and

nodded in yes. Then, the man said,

"Hana is in Allibridge with Luka."

Listening to this, the other man was

impressed and stood up to walk out.

Then, the man stopped him and asked

for the payment, so the other man took

him out of the club and onto the streets.

The other man put his hand on the

man's shoulder and whispered in his ear,

"You shouldn't have kept the money

before you gave me the tip; you have

made me feel embarrassed, my friend.

So you have to pay." Before the man

could understand something, he was

shot by the other man, and the other

man said, "Goodbye, my friend." In no

time after the shot, a car came to the

other man, he sat in that and went off

the street.

As the car drove away from the street,

another car passed by, its headlights and

revs catching Samuel's and Andre's

attention. Andre looked at Samuel with

a smirk and said, "You were right, bro,

he was the real mole."

Samuel's eyes seemed to be replaying

the events of the past few days. He

recalled the five suspects' behavior on

the day of the attack. One of them, in

particular, caught his attention. After the

attack, this suspect had paid his

mother's cancer treatment bill in full

cash, and even bought a property.

Samuel had played a trap and given him

a false tip, saying that Hana was in

Allibridge.

Back in the present, Samuel looked at

the dead man's body with a smirk.

"Never ride two boats at the same time,"

he said to himself. He turned to Andre

and they headed back to Samuel's

home. After arriving, Samuel first called

his friend Luck and told him, "My side of

work is done here, and I'm leaving for

Allibridge now. Is everything ready?" On

the other side of the call, Luck replied

with a smirk, "Everything is all set,

Samuel. Just waiting for the fish."

Samuel, Andre, and Leo stepped out of

the private jet and onto the tarmac at

Allibridge. They were greeted by Luck,

who stood at the main door of his

mansion, a warm smile on his face.

"Welcome, my friends," Luck said,

shaking their hands. "I'm glad you could

make it."

"Thanks, Luck," Samuel replied, his eyes

scanning the grounds. "This is quite a

place you have here."

Luck chuckled. "I like to think so. Come,

let's get you settled in and then we can

discuss the plan."

The group walked into the mansion,

where they were greeted by the opulent

décor and the sound of laughter and

chatter. They made their way to the

dining room, where a sumptuous spread

of food awaited them.
