“So,” Emerald went on, “We came together as one mind to think of a way to get rid of an infestation. You see that’s the problem, you were a lone wolf, a rogue werewolf that tried to go up against a pack. What do you think happens to them?”
They die brutally.
Mikhail realized he was not going to leave this place alive and he had to do something about this.
He at once fell on his knees,
“Forgive me! I must have been crazy by thinking I could go up against the falcon!” He wailed loudly.
Mikhail focused on Sakuzi, “You should understand me the most, I once admired you! I haven’t even buried my son yet and I’m not even sure of the outcome of my family,” after you attacked them. He didn’t say that out loud but everyone got the hint.
Sakuzi stood from his seat and gently walked over to where Mikhail knelt with his head still lowered. He then squatted down and said,
“Mark 3:27,”
At once, Mikhail’s brows furrowed, disturbed. He might have followed Sakuzi but his Bible reading part was a habit that he couldn’t understand. They were monsters, criminals, what do they need a Bible for? If only he knew the Bible was a huge source of inspiration.
“If a person wants to enter a strong man’s house and steal his things, first he must tie up the strong man. Then the thief can steal the things from the strong man’s house,” Sakuzi quoted the verse when it became apparent that the man had no clue what he was talking about.
“If you indeed learned from me, then you should know what I’m thinking right now,” He came closer to whisper, “People like us can never change,” And then stood on his feet as he left.
Not less than a minute after Sakuzi left, Emerald stood up from his seat as well. However, just as he passed Mikhail by, the man quickly reached out and grabbed onto his leg.
“Please, have mercy on me!” He begged him.
Emerald looked down at him with boredom. It was funny how someone who thought he was at the top of the world could be dragged down so easily.
“Sorry,” Emerald said, “But I don’t help people who look down on women,” He kicked his grip away and gave one last glance to his men who knew what to do.
As soon as the door was closed, a tense silence stretched the room. Mikhail’s other men now had his hand in the air as a sign of surrender while the three members of the Falcon Gang left to eliminate them had their gun pointed at them.
“Please don’t harm me and I promise you that I will give whatever you want,” Mikhail attempted to negotiate with them. Unlike Sakuzi and Emerald who made up their minds, he could still manipulate them. Moreover, this wasn’t the first time gang members turned their back on their leaders – he did too.
“Sorry, an order is an order,” said one of them firmly and had already removed the gun’s safety, ready to fire.
Mikhail instinctively shut his eyes close, ready to go meet his maker when a bang was heard. Strangely, he didn’t feel a thing and he concluded that they must have killed his guard first. However, he heard a little ruckus and another shot, and yet he was still alive.
He then opened his eyes to see that he was alive and so was his other guard. However, both members of the Falcon were down because one of their own shot them.
“I knew you were smart to take the offer,” Mikhail grinned at the one who shot his teammates.
“Shut up!” the guy said and then turned to his guard saying, “How many of your men are outside,”
“Seven?” he added, “If they’re still alive,”
“They should be,” The betrayer ordered him, “Tell them to make a scene outside and clear the path. It would get them dead of course but if your boss has any chances of leaving here, alive, he would sacrifice them,”
“Do it!” Mikhail ordered without a second thought. He had always been a selfish man, not to talk of now that his life was hanging on the line.
His guard had no choice but to comply with the order and while he was at it, Mikhail picked a gun from one of the dead members. God has given him a second chance to live and he would not waste it!
The third point of view:
“Andrew?!” Maggie was surpised when she saw Andrew being dragged out of the meeting hell. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest thinking he has committed a crime that demanded death – Sakuzi was quite unpredictable at times.
“What’s going on here?” She went over to them demanding an answer.
Upon seeing her, they finally let go of Andrew who glared at them. He was their superordinate and to have been manhandled that way by his subordinate was quite a slap to his face and an insult to his reputation.
Thankfully, they were smart enough not to make mocking remarks about him and clearly understood that the only reason that they were able to touch him at all was because of Emerald’s order. Other than that, he would have cut their head off for laying their filthy hands on him. In the falcon gang, hierarchy really mattered.
“What is going on?” Maggie asked him but Andrew was still fuming with anger as he watched those two return to the meeting. She at once cupped his face, forcing his attention on her and at one his anger slowly began to vanish.
“It’s nothing,” Andrew lied through his teeth but Maggie knew him well enough.
“We could do all day,” She was not giving up.
Andrew sighed, “He called you Valentino’s fuck mistress and I lost it. I should have punched the life out of him,” He said, causing Maggie’s gaze to fall on his fist that had a trace of blood – Mikhail’s filthy blood.
“Come, let’s go before Emerald changes his mind and decides to punish you for acting out of line,” She grabbed his hand and began to lead him in the direction of her room.
She went to the bathroom and brought a wet toilet which she used to wipe the blood off his hand. None of them said a word and after she was done with cleaning the blood, they both lay down on the bed cuddling each other.
“What does Valentino plan to do with him?” She referred to Mikhail.
“They plan on getting rid of him,” Andrew answered, “He’s nothing but a nuisance that needs to be eradicated from society,”
Maggie sighed deeply and that didn’t go by Andrew. He glanced down, asking, “What’s wrong?”
“This is all my fault, Andrew. I should be the one clearing the mess I made yet here I am hiding like a fool. I feel helpless and I hate feeling hateless,” Maggie expressed herself.
“Hey,” Andrew lifted her chin, “You’re not being a burden to us. In the Falcon, we treat each other as one and you’re a part of this family. So there’s no way on earth we are letting you deal with that bastard on your own,” He promised her
“But still -“
Andrew pressed his finger against her lips, shutting her up.
“No, but, now sleep,” He drew her closer to his chest and hardly closed his eyes for a minute when a loud bang was heard.
At first, Andrew waved it off as some of the boys were fooling around since this wasn’t the first time those idiots shot in the air. However, the second shot came coupled with the fact that Mikhail was still in the premises meant that something must have gone wrong.
