Bab 19: I will kill them
"Do you know who tried to attack you, Hannah"? Raymond asked.
He wanted to know which gang had dared to attack a member of his gang. Even though he was still so young, his gang was the largest and most feared gang in the assassins' world all because of his father. The Night Knights gang. So he wondered which gang was bold enough to attack Hannah.
"I don't know who it was Raymond, I just came back home and met Penelope covered in blood". A tear slipped from her eyes as she said this. The image of Penelope sitting in the closet covered in blood is still so clear in her mind and she was sure that it would still be there for a couple of months. She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. Raymond could already feel the anger radiating from her. He didn't try to calm her down because he was also angry.
"I will find those people and I will kill them". She vowed to herself. This time around, her anger had escalated and it surrounded her like a cloak.
"I will find them, Hannah, don't worry". Raymond promised and put his palm over her hand that was resting on her lap. He stood up and walked away from Hannah. He dialled a number on his phone. "Find the person who tried to attack Hannah today. Gather all the information you can and report to me in two hours". Raymond said over the phone and hung up without waiting for the reply of the other person. He walked back to Hannah and noticed that her eyes were back on the door of the ICU.
The red light went off and Hannah stood up immediately. She leapt toward the doctor and nurses at the operating theatre because of her injured foot the doctor and nurses of the operation theatre.
"How is she, doctor, is she alright?" She asked frantically.
"The operation was successful, we managed to stitch the cut on her back but we cannot say anything right now. She has to wake up before we can conclude anything about the vital organ in her body". The doctor said and tried to walk away when Hannah held him back. " When is she going to wake up?". She asked, " w, t know yet but let's wait until morning". Hannah sighed in relief after hearing what the doctor said. The doctor walked away and Raymond came to stand in front of her. "You should rest, now that the surgery is over". He suggested but Hannah shook her head. "I have things to do, I will rest later". She said and he immediately knew what she was talking about. "I asked Lucas to look for the gang that tried to attack you, I am expecting his call any minute now". Raymond said and Hannah responded with a 'hmm'.
Two nurses came out of the ICU and pushed a stretcher that had Penelope on it from the ICU to a normal ward. Hanna watched them move the stretcher and looked at Penelope's face for the briefest moment and felt tears pooling in her eyes. She turned to Raymond and said," let's go, Lucas will call us on the way".
"Okay". Raymond replied
Both of them left the hospital and drove down the road. Hannah kept glancing at Raymond's phone, waiting for the screen to light up to signify that Lucas has called. Finally, after what seemed like hours, Lucas called and Raymond answered on the first ring.
"What did you find, Lucas?" Raymond asked
"Sorry boss, but I couldn't find anything. The person covered his tracks well and I didn't find any trial that would lead me to him. But I promise to find them sooner. I just need more time". Lucas said with a small voice. He was ashamed of himself because he couldn't find who tried to attack Hannah. But he convinced himself that he just needs more time.
"You have until dawn to find that person". Raymond said. "You must find him and bring him to me. Find the gang he belongs to and find out who sent him. Do not disappoint me, Lucas". Raymond said.
"Okay boss, I won't disappoint you". Lucas said with determination and hung up.
Raymond sighed and turned to Hannah. "He couldn't find him but let's wait till tomorrow". He said and Hannah turned to look at him with anger in her eyes but she said nothing and turned her head to the window.
***************
In an underground basement.
A young man in his late twenties sat on a steel chair, drinking slowly from the glass in his hand and staring at the man kneeling in front of him.
"Did you manage to kill her?" He asked.
"No boss, I didn't find her at the location we were given. I only found a child in the apartment". The man kneeling replied with his eyes facing the ground.
"What did you do to the child". He asked.
"I left a deep tear on her back. It will serve as a warning to her never to mess with us next time. By the time she gets back home, the child will already be dead".
The man sitting threw a knife in the direction of the man on his knees and it went straight to his neck.
"Did I ask you to warn her"? He asked. " I don't want to warn her, I want her dead. She has to pay for what she has done". He stood up from his seat and walked towards the man who was clutching his neck tightly as blood flowed from his neck, through his fingers, and landed on the floor.
The boss came to stand in front of him and pushed him to the ground. The man on the floor was in immense pain but the boss didn't mind. He raised his leg and placed it on the knife that was stuck to the man's neck, pushing it deeper till it could be seen at the back of his neck. The man let out a shrill cry of pain as blood gushed out of his neck, spreading on the white tiles.
"Clear this mess". The boss said in a loud voice and three people who were wearing black overalls rushed into the room and picked up the corpse, leaving the boss all by himself in the room
"She needs to die!" He muttered under his breath and clenched his fists in anger.
