Chapter Six: The Promise/Departure.

'This night i will tell them.' She promised before taking another spoon full of food into her mouth.

After enjoying their Delicious food, they made their way to the parlour as Mrs Katherine ran to her room to get her game box.

Lindsey and Karen waited on the couch ,their legs bouncing in anticipation.Not long after Mrs Katherine walked to them with her game box in her hand,placing them on the table. The game box contained a cross word puzzle which Lindsey won, Scrambled which she also won thanks to her finishing touch. The word was "NISCPOOR" Which when you arrange it spelt "Scorpion". Then They played Charade,Mrs Katherine won . Karen Derekstrate with her body. Karen let out a sad sign,She was the only one who didn't win anything.

Mrs Katherine consoled her by saying. "Everyone is a winner." Before wrapping her daughter in a long hug and a kiss to the head.

It was already dark out when they ended their end,meaning it was time for them to leave. Karen hugged her Mother,tears dripping from her eyes.

'This is so cliche' Lindsey thought as she stared at them from the flower garden. She balance the heavy bag on her shoulder,Mrs Katherine gave them lot of stufts,Even though they told her it was only for one night.She shook her head and told them. "Be it one night or two hours you still need to take this." She said shoving to bag towards Lindsey. "Though i know you might not need it, I still want you to have it." She completed. And that was when they started hugging.

After one last hug from Karen to her Mum,and a kiss to the cheek from Lindsey to Mrs Katherine. They made their way home.

Carmichael relaxed in his Chair, He was wearing a fancy gray suit. He inhaled the smoke from his cigarette before releasing it. Jeff stood by the door,his heart pounding from the look on his boss's face. He swallowed a gulp when the look was finally fixated on him.

"Are Philip and his men ready?" Carmichael inhaled his cigarette, his voice cold.

"Yes sir." Jeff replied nodding repeatedly.

"Tell Carlos to ready my car." He said, He got up from his chair and towards the table where his briefcase was kept. He opened the briefcase,bringing out folders. He had on a wicked smirk when he read the content of the file.

"Are.... you coming.... with... us Sir?" Stuttered Jeff,rubbing his clamly plam on his trouser.

Carmichael stopped in his track before slowing turning toward his assistant. "What do you mean us.? He asked sending Jeff a deathly glare.

Jeff Swallowed his spit,his heart beating loudly. He kept quiet his head down.

"You're to stay here and watch my stuffs, I don't trust the hotel staffs." He folded his hand. "One of the staffs might decide to come snooping around. And we don't want that now..do we?"

"No Sir." Jeff replied.

"Good." Carmichael smiled. "Daniel will be on security watch, so you,ve nothing to fear."

Daniel is the boss personal Security and the head of the IT department, he watches what goes on in his computer, we normally called him the 'Tech Guru." Because he can hack through anything just to get what he wants and then build up a firewall to keep them from tracking him. Jeff was happy that his boss decided to leave him, But he could not help but to shivered in freight when he saw the smile on his boss face.

"If you catch anyone, Tie him up until i get back." Carmichael said looking at the files one last time before putting it back into the briefcase. "Is that understood?" He asked his glare back as he faced his assistant.

"Yes boss." Jeff yelled his back straight.

" Now... Go and tell Carlos what i told you. We need to leave as soon as possible." Stated Carmichael before going back to his chair, His leg crossed as he lit another Cigarette.

Jeff gave a slight bow and turned to the door, closing it softly behind him. He rest behind the door with a deep sigh,breathing slowly before straighting up, He made way when he saw Philip and his men rushing towards the elevator. They gave a nod to acknowledge his presence before the elevator dinged shut.

'I guess it really is time.' He thought.His eyes forward, he heads over to Carlos room. As he walked his mind went back to the days when he was brought in to join "The Rogue Mafia" As they called themselves, They were a secret organization headed by Carmichael, They work in the shadows and are feared by many.

He was a rookie crooked who steals things from people just to survive,He had a hard time growing up. His parents died when he was fifteen years old and because he was not yet an adult, The system gave him a new family because he had no living relatives. At first his new family were kind and lovely towards him but all of a sudden they changed. It was as if the thread that was there snapped, So he had no choice but to run away from home and that was how he found himself stealing.

But one day he stole from the wrong group, "The Rogue Mafia" And to make it worse , He stole from Carmichael.

The only way he could save himself was to join them. And ever since, His been loyal to them especially Carmichael. " Guess he saw something in me, That was why he did not kill me." He muttered , for without them he could be laying cold dead in the morgue or even thrown out in the dirtiest part of New York.

He shook his head to get rid of the memory before continuing on his walk. He stopped infront of a door. With a heavy breath, he raised his hand and knocked.
