Chapter two hundred and forty
The city held its breath. Midnight loomed like the blade of a guillotine, suspended and waiting to fall. Rain had begun to drizzle lightly over the rooftops, misting the concrete with a sheen of cold silver. Inside an abandoned lounge, Jason had most of his men in position. Ready for war. Raven crouched behind a stack of rusted coils, eyes glued to the night-vision scope attached to her rifle. Through her earpiece, she could hear Doctor Zack counting down the time. “Ten minutes to zero hour,” his voice crackled. Skull was already in position on the west flank, hidden beneath a tangle of piping that gave him a clear shot at the building’s service door. Reaper was perched on the rooftop across the street, one eye behind a sniper scope, the other scanning heat signatures on his thermal tablet. Inside the lounge, laughter echoed—too loud, too confident. Irene had bought the lie. Jason’s forged documents had worked like a charm. Irene stood in front of a mirror in the lounge’s ba

Jason’s gaze locked with Skull’s, and for a long moment, silence stretched between them like a drawn bow. Then he exhaled, sharp and calculated.“Plan B is war,” Jason said flatly.Skull’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t argue. He knew better than to challenge Jason when that edge crept into his voice—the one that meant he had already made peace with bloodshed. “War it is, then.”Jason turned back to the photo on the dresser. “But let’s hope Irene is foolish enough to take the bait. Because if not, I’m burning every inch of ground between here and wherever she’s hiding.”The spy, still disoriented from the blow to the head, blinked as he came to. The van door swung open and he was shoved out roughly, landing in an alley between two rundown buildings. The moment he looked up, the van was gone.He stumbled forward, clutching his still-tender ribs, unaware of the black motorcycle engine idling several rooftops away. Reaper sat astride the bike, binoculars raised, tracking every step with me

Jason looked at the spy that has now been beaten blue black. " Are you going to tell me who sent you or you are going to die where you seat?" The Spy coughed a bit and looked at Sky who had his hand soiled with his blood. " Irene sent me. She wanted Clark to die in your home. It was the perfect plan. Clark dies in your home and then the police comes knocking at your door."" Well, now I am going to have to kill you. You should have said no!" Jason shouted. He brought out his pistol and was about to shoot when Doctor Zack stood in his way. " We could use this to our advantage,Mr Jason." He said drawing Jason into a corner. " We let him go and we trail him. He could get us to where Irene, Niko and Eric are hiding. We could end this game once and for all." There was a bit of silence as Jason looked back at the spy tied to the chair. "And what if he decides to pull a smart one on us? What if he decides to run?" " Then we have one of our best men take him down." Doctor Zack replied. "

The room became quiet. Each one of them trying to anticipate whose voice they were going to hear. Irene's lings nearly collapsed when she heard it to be Jason's. " Do you really think you have one?" Jaosn's voice boomed over the speaker. " I can forgive you, Niko. We don't have to fight this out." Jason said slowly " Why do you think he is here? I told you already, Jason. If I can't have you then no one will. Alessia's death is just a collateral damage." Irene replied taking a seat. " Since you know we are the master mind behind the death of your beloved wife, I am still surprised that you are not here trying to burn the house down. Besides, what happened to that power of yours. I thought you were invisible. Well..." irene brought out another pack of cigarettes. " I don't think you are invisible as you claimed to be." She said conclusively. " Well, you are having two choices, Irene. You either give yourself up to the authorities or..." Jason was cut short. " And why woul

" Don't do it, Irene. Drop it!" Niko shouted staring at her. A drop of sweat slowly washing down his face." What are you going to do,Niko? Shoot me?" Irene barked." I dnt want anything anymore. Just let me go,please." Sophia pleaded walking backwards." Stop!" Irene yelled. " You are going to stop this instance or I swear to god I am going to blow your head all over the white rug."Sophia halted abruptly like she was being controlled by an invisible remote.Irene's invisible remote." Where are you going with all of this huh?" Niko asked. " We had my father were we wanted him and now this? Can we just calm down and let's work things out?" Niko looked at everyone in the room." My father has managed to have the Carter's family under control. They could have storm in here the moment he was around but they feared him. That is the only reason we are hear."" And do they fear you?" Irene smirked. " You know, Jason was just like your father. I remembered when he was back in the college. I

Irene sat down with Niko staring at both her and Eric. "Do you think it worked?" he asked, looking a bit frightened. "If Father isn't dead, then we are as good as being dead ourselves." "Can you keep your fucking voice low? I thought you knew what was going on when you agreed to join this little clique of ours. It is a win-win for us. You get to live your life, I take over the company and we share the Carters' properties." Irene looked at Eric, "And who says you will be the new kingpin? Don't you know what we stand to gain if Niko plays the perfect Jason Carter's life? All we need to do is assemble the Carter's family and have Niko be lord over them. He is going to need the company if he is going to be respected." The room was silent for a while. "Don't tell me you both are trying to outsmart me?" Eric said with his face contorted into anger. "Corner you? We work this shit out, and I believe we should share the profit. If my father is dead, then I don't need to travel back to my

The scent of blood and sweat could be smelt in the air. The interrogation room was dimly lit, the single bulb overhead casting swinging shadows on the walls as it dangled from a rusted chain. Clark’s smirk had faded into a tight-lipped defiance, his once-pristine suit now stained with grime and splatters of his own blood. His wrists were strapped tightly to the steel chair, cutting into his skin with every twitch.Skull stood in front of him, knuckles already bruised from the earlier round of beatings. Jason stood at the far corner, arms folded, eyes cold and unreadable.“Still nothing?” Jason asked flatly.Skull wiped the blood off his hands with a white towel that was now anything but white. “Nothing but arrogance. The bastard thinks he can outlast us.”Clark spat a glob of blood onto the floor and chuckled darkly. “You think this is the worst I’ve endured? Please. You don’t even come close.”Skull cracked his neck, his patience thinning. “We’re just getting started.”Without wait

The room was a bit tensed. " What if this is what they want, Mr Jaosn. The rage, the anger. What if this is what they actually want to make you come after them. Then that means we are going to be playing into their hands." Skull said looking at his face. " Do you think I care anymore? I have lost good men to this endless war. I have lost a brother and people who are actually with saving and now my wife?" Jason said with his breath hunged in the balance. " I know what I am risking and I am not asking any of you to come with me. I know you all have tried your best. You can seat this one out and let me care Irene and Niko alone." The room went silent once more. " They need you to fall into this trap, Mr walker. Can't you see what is going on? You have Clark captured and of you will ask me, I am going to tell you that it was too easy. We captured Clark like he was nothing and so far as good we have managed to have him men at bay. The can't come into the house without us giving the
Chapter two hundred and thirty three
This was the third week Jason had been cooped up inside his room. He said nothing to anyone and, as a matter of fact, he didn't let anyone into his room. Not even Raven. Each one of them knocked on the door, but no answer came back. At a point Skull and Raven had decided to break down the door, but then each time they tried, there was always a barrier stopping them from coming into the room. Jason lay on the cold ice, tears streaming down his cheek. He had lost a lot of good people, and now, Alessia was added to the list of the good people who he had lost. His face was looking more pale than it was supposed to. He replayed the incident over and over again. The gunshot, and he had tried to protect her. Tears welled on his face each time he remembered what they had gone through. He remembered his promise to her. "We are leaving after all of this." That was the last thing he had said to her. Jason clenched his hands into the white succulent pillow he was grabbing a
