Ch. 21 - Some Time Before
A few men gathered at this palace like mansion. a large gate separated the entire territory, a plot of land covered with guards and cameras. The individual of this household is clearly wealthy. More than everything, they had power, the amount of gaurds, the property and luxury finish of the tile land, and the entryway along with the black steel gate, and upon this few four group of men entered, they were shown and helped towards this fortress, until a woman stepped, slim body maybe to slim, however she wear luxury and fur attire and accessories of gold and diamonds. someone who was and looked to frail or, at the least, had makeup done to appear like this ideal of a perfect woman. she looked at the men, who contacted her as filth since they chose to bother her so suddenly, and they were clearly not this same area and region. "Make this quick." she said, as they together now entered, shutting the heavy wooden and furnished doors behind them. they would go on to meet together at a table. a hall still larger than most homes surrounded them as they walked until they then took their seats. among these men were also standing their respective gaurds.
"Thank you, for see-" one man spoke but was cut off.
"Shut it... you filthy men dared to expose my secrets, so what is that you want...?" She demanded, not spare time, as gaurds behind them blocked the door.
Drake's father chuckled. "Let's be civil lady..."
"The gull..." she was angry and getting trigger happy with how she looked at her men.
He would stand up and approach her, showing a picture of her daughter and the woman's ex-husband. "I know... you probably think we are just nobody's... but let me make this clear you hag... we just want one thing out of you... not money... not to extort... and if you get trigger happy, on our deaths, my friends will publish all your underhanded dealing..." he threatened and aggressively at that, making his stance firm on what he's demanding.
the old woman narrowed her eyes, glaring, but then eased he hand away from under her desk, as she was ready to slug him under the desk where she had a force multiplier ready. "How do you know of them... who exactly are you?"
he would step back and let another man speak for him as he sat down and rolled cocaine out of her table.
"we are part of the underground... a syndicate... well, he is, and we are just going under his orders... he peddles... merchandise... of... unique intrest to say the least..." the man explained. "What, we are trying to make demand of... is your cooperation... in the help of killing and kidnapping two individuals... one killed, the other taken away. you won't have to do a thing... besides be a host..." he would finish and pause to hear what she would say.
"Kidnapping... and murder...? or two people... how they relate back to me...?" She asked.
"Your daughter... is an interest to our boss here, son... and he wants them both back in sight. your daughter, will be brought back here with your intrusion... just not by force... and you will have him... and his sister, as guests..." they explained.
"Who exactly is being targeted...? and I must know, because you have my curiosity and my child is involved... but why do you want to do this to your own children?" She asked, looking at them.
"Well..." The man showed Drake, and his tattoo, and the image of Sarah. "Your husband had an affair correct... that is the offspring, I can't imagine you accept her truly... and this boy of his... is just a nuisance now... however, we also learn recently, this boy, is known as Joker. a card to the Empire. in our land... they control and covern the good and bad... but recent event's have influenced the power... he has abandoned his role... and there Jack, another card was killed by this boy. so... our organization, just wishes to also reclaim a power we had before his uprising a few years back." he explained to her.
she took a good look at this boy. and then the girl. "I see... firstly... it would be a problem if this child knew of the family she truly came from... and she does resemble my daughter by taking traits of that idiot husband... alright... I'll help... only of I ask... you murder her as well..."
the man yelled. "NO!"
"Why not?" She glared.
"that brat... has been under his care for a very long time since she was born... I've had bidders waiting in line to slave and collar that child... so, she won't be killed, at least not be us at this moment... maybe who ever buys the Brat once they had there fun, but until then... she's a nice catch to a lot of heavy pockets... and I want my money... and so these men, after they have a turn or bid themselves." the father would then snort a line and slam his fist down.
"I see... and I cant just pay three time the amount to kill her with him then... fine, I'll help, just so I can also bring my daughter home... and see an end to this branch." she didn't say it either, but knowing power was in Flux in another region, she wanted to also set her roots down.
"That's, what we like to hear..." his father chuckled, as he then got up. "we will make ourselves home here for a while. if that's alright with you?"
"to over see the capture and that the trap is done well I hope... not to conduct business here..." she said.
"sounds fine... I imagine it won't take very long... that boy is a fool... but we can't be too careful knowing his reputation, and his resources." a gaurd told them, as she then just sighed.
"Do what you need... I just want my home clean once you rats are done... and I expect compensation for any unnecessary complications." she then lit a cigar as she turned to look outside from her window still on her seat.
they were all helped to a separate room. and began to gather. and make plans. walking through the hall Drake's father spoke. "what should we do... send him a message? he won't take it seriously."
"I've already thought of something, we will send him a video... but we will send it to the daughter of this woman, of course it'll be an invitation to accept the kid but it'll be like a snare trap. since that boy of yours won't exactly trust us or her mother. but we need things to worsen around drake... so I'll call some men and stir up trouble... maybe even get other gangs involved by collateral." the gaurd then grabbed his phone.
"I see... cause problems not just for him, but use up potential enemy's also... clever... alright let's get to work, with this home as our base for a moment." Drake's father said as he then entered a large room with his men as they prepared to lay traps for drake.
back at Drake's city. a woman soon got a call. "we got a job for you." the voice told her.
she was standing in just her underwear and burned out a cigarette. "what's the details?"
"we need you to keep an eye on someone... and then deliver a message... can you handle that?" the man asked.
"this sounds like beginner work... but yeah, I can handle it... so what is it? but let me make this clear, you will need to pay extra for anymore additions to the job." she said as she spoke from her broken and run down bedroom.
"of course, we pay for what we get... we need you to deliver a message for a girl in her teens named anna... and we will need you to kidnap a governor." they explained.
"are these two related?" She asked.
"no, the girl in her teens is for a bigger job later... that governor however. we will need now and he needs to be alive... we need more or less him to comply with our plans... well, don't worry about it to much... just make sure you have your tools ready and take him to a secure locations... we will need to break him. more info on your phone." the man hung up and deliver the extra information to her.
"same old dirty work..." she said to herself as she then grabbed her clothes and got to work. "fine... but you know the price... I'll need some days... to dig... and to set the trap."
"that Is fine... we will wait. just don't disappoint... and please... no mistakes..." the man said, before the call ended.
"in a perfect world... sure... but let's not get our hopes up.." she got changed and and got on her bike leaving her rough area.
this woman, was a high profile chase and suspect for police. wanted every major kidnapping, killing and robbery. she had a scar dashing down her face and across her forehead. she was also known as a runner. someone to get jobs down. she quickly went to her favorite shady bar and place, where she began to hire a few folks for small bits of cash, and start asking around or even sleeping around for information. it was hard not to notice who she was, and her infamously, but just as hard to resist her charms and allur. she had connects, people and even a place with the underworld crime. her body fine like a model, her attitude as fiercely and elegant as a tigers. she always did get what she wanted earning her a nickname of Lucky. ironically luck played no part in her life as it was just a counterpart of how unlucky her life has been. she was no shy killer, and always left the scene before ever getting notice a truly elusive woman that anyone can fall for.
Now, back in the present, she managed to find the track and capture this governor alive and unharmed, as she began to call her employer back, letting them know to pick up their first request and that she was on the second. it was the weekend and was now being demanded to work faster.
she scoffed as she then tossed her phone into her bag and headed out of this nice big condo wearing as much to tightly hide her face and figuer. she began to head over and look for the nearest exit to make sure she was gone as quickly as she was here. "that job was to easy... and this next one might even be just as. deliver a message and bring the little rich girl in..." she soon left the elevator and walked around this new city was in having to travel far to get to Drake's city. she decided to take a less loud means of travel, hiding her face and looks as she went by train, then by bus, she had a picture of Drake, and the other two targets, his sister, and Anne.
"a rich girl... a child, and a gangster? or is he more like a brother to them?" she did a bit of thinking, and just couldn't piece any of it together. they seemingly had no relation, but she then though who her contact was. "his son?" she would soon arrive at Drake turf and city, and began to dig her claws around in search of his address, social life, and connections.
Things were starting to start up, as it seemed like Drake, was now being hunted, and by a professional, who would make sure their job gets done, with the least amount of resistance. she would be a high profile threat against Drake.
back in the mansion, Drake's father would soon be on call, "That's right... that young man who beat you to pulp and took everything from you... and not just you... will be here at the location I just sent.... if you want revenue, tell your friends, your enemies who also were humiliated and come here to join in on his killing." he would end the call, as within hours.
men approached the domain he was hiding in, as he just gathered, every know fighter Drake has ever fought against. as there more an over a hundred people Drake has beaten again and this didn't a single rival gang, these were people who fought in the underground fights. who he singlehandedly ruined lives of. they gathered today, for they're redemption.
He didn't just want to see Drake in misery, but he truly wanted to him dead. his hated was beyond understanding, even Drake himself didn't know why his own father hated him, but he didn't care. and neither did the father. they were both a means to the end for one another. And it seemed like he was prepared to do anything and all cost to just make Drake's life hell to the end.
