Watch Your Back
As David and Dane stepped out, David said,“I’m just going to tell you this—the only reason I’m doing this is because you’re blackmailing me. Nothing else. Yes, Richard has ordered our men not to make a move. Not until after the mask party. That’s all I can tell you.”“Good. Good,” Dane said, shaking his head, folding his arms. “I hope you’re not lying.”Dane’s hand stayed in his pocket, fingers gripping his gun—just in case. His eyes kept scanning the area. He didn’t trust anyone. Not even David. He was checking to see if David had brought backup.“Hey David,” Dane said. “Did you bring a bike or a car?”“Yes, I did,” David replied, his tone flat. “I don’t have time, that’s why I’m not here to argue. Let’s just move fast. Let’s get to your ship. I will use my car.He pointed toward the street. Dane’s eyes followed the direction of David’s finger—straight to a sleek, black Dodge.Dane’s heart skipped.Damn… That’s a good-looking car.When the hell am I going to have something like that
Cornered
Dane stretched his hand forward.“Deal.”David had an angry look on his face. He hesitated, then forced himself to stretch his hand out as well.“Deal,” he said.They shook hands.“I don’t even know why you’re targeting me,” David muttered. “What’s your real reason?”“I’ll tell you why,” Dane replied. “You’re already an ally. You and I both know Richard’s downfall is near. You’re his right-hand man. No matter how powerful Richard seems, his fall is coming.”“Well, I don’t care about that,” David said. “After all this is done—after I smuggle the guns into Richard’s mansion—I’ll tell you where I put them. Then will you delete that picture? That photo is not meant to be seen by anyone. I deleted it from my phone when I took it. I don’t even know how you got it.”“There won’t even be a need to delete it,” Dane said. “Because after tomorrow’s mask party, Richard’s body will be lying lifeless. That’s all I’m going to say. And if you try to betray me… well, remember something—Richard is a be
Checkmate
“Don’t mess with me again. You’ve already crossed the line. Do you value life?” Dane said.“I won’t do it again. I understand what’s going on. So what do you actually want? Is it a fake ID? You won’t be able to pass with a very fake ID. That one is easy. Don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it. So please, can you delete that photo?” David said.“No, I can’t delete the photo. But that isn’t the main problem. The main thing I want you to do for me… is to smuggle… guns… for me and my men… into Richard’s mansion. Don’t forget… you are not my ally. You’re a pawn to me,” Dane said.“It looks like you’re out of your mind. What do you mean? I’m already betraying Richard by letting you in with the fake ID. Even though you already told me it’s fake, I’m still doing it. But I can’t betray Richard to the level… of smuggling weapons… into his own party… so you can attack him. I’m sure that’s the reason. Because you know there’s war. You know there’s war,” David said.Then Dane leaned forward.“
A Trillion-Dollar Threat
“I’m going to use a fake ID to enter the Richard mansion tomorrow,” Dane continued. “Some of my men too. And you are going to make it easy for us. The IDs are good—but if you help, it’ll be smoother. No questions asked. No ID checks. I’m guessing you’re the one in charge of that, right?” “You’re out of your mind,” David snapped. “You think I’m going to do that? Very good. Thanks for telling me your plan.” He stood up. “I’m done. I’m leaving.” But just as he turned, Dane pulled out his phone and held up the picture—the picture. David, in bed, with Richard’s two adopted daughters. All three in the same frame. A selfie. Taken by David himself. As David caught sight of it, he froze. He stood there in silence, then slowly sat back down. His voice cracked. “How did you get that picture?” David shouted. “Lower your voice,” Dane said. David looked around. He saw some people in the bar turning to look at him because of the way he shouted. Then he calmed down. “I’m going to ask
Chat
As Dane was still sitting in the bar, he looked at his phone.“10 minutes left. I gave him 30 minutes. He should’ve even been here before now. It’s already 20 minutes,” Dane said to himself.He stayed seated, waiting for David.After 5 more minutes, someone walked into the bar. Dane had never seen David’s face before, so he wasn’t sure at first. But the way the man entered—looking around anxiously, scanning the place—it gave him away.That’s when Dane knew it was him.A minute later, Dane’s phone buzzed. A message from Butcher.This is his daughter. Richard’s daughter. Ben is not the only child. Richard has two daughters. But Ben is the only son. The daughters are adopted—not biological.This is the picture of David sleeping with them.Dane looked down at the message. The photo was a selfie—David lying in bed with Richard’s two adopted daughters. David himself had taken the picture.Dane stared at the image for a moment, then looked up and saw David still standing at the entrance, sti
Via del Silenzio
Dane walked into the bar and sat on a chair with a table in front of him. A waitress came over and asked if there was anything he’d like to order.He said, “Just give me a beer or a glass of water.”She smiled. “Well, I’m going to give you a beer,” she said, then walked away.She came back with a tray and the beer on top of it. Dane took it from her.“Sir, is there anything else you’d like to order? We also sell some snacks that go well with the beer. Or do you want cigarettes?”“No need for that,” Dane replied.She walked away.“Oh, it’s time for me to call David… or should I just blackmail him? Well, whatever,” Dane said, then opened his phone. He copied the number Butcher had sent him, pasted it into the dialer, and called.As the phone rang, David picked up.“Hello, who is this?” David said.“I’m your worst nightmare,” Dane said. “That’s who I am. Be ready, because you’re doomed. If you don’t come to this location, Richard will kill you. Don’t waste time. Come to Via del Silenzio.
