Location: Still New York, Brooklyn- Somewhere around Clinton Hill 3rd POV]
The man picked up the phone and the screen was cracked, it was glitching but still usable. He can't see the caller ID but answers anyway.
"Speak. I'm listening" the man said after he answered the phone.
(You must be busy if you're speaking like that) The voice of a woman was heard from the phone.
"Oh it's you. What can I help you with?"the man said with a soft or calm voice. It's neither, I guess he said it in a subtle voice
(Lighten up will you. It's not like I got a sniper near you, ready to shoot you.) the woman said with a playful voice
"You're oddly specific with your description. It's not like I didn't plant a bomb under the chair you're sitting in your club and staring at the window while there's a person near the door, pointing a gun with a suppressor straight to the door, pointing at you" the man said with a subtle voice while cleaning blood from his body.
(Oh jeez. I was just playing, no need to take it that far. Jeez. Anyway, we need to talk.) The woman said with a serious tone in the later part.
"Okay. We'll talk. I'll be there soon." The man said before hanging up the phone before throwing the phone away.
He suddenly realised something, ' who's going to clean this mess?' the man thought
The phone rang again. The was caught of guard by the ring. He went to pick it up and answered it.
"Speak. I'm listening" the man said with irritation
(Boss, there's a problem with the goods)The voice of a man said
"It it the goods or related to the goods?" The man said with an irritation voice
(It's related to goods boss) The voice caller said
"Take care of the problem" the man said and squashed the phone with his bare hands.
'now time to clean this shit. It's good they came with they're car' the thought to himself
On a different location.
[Location: New York, Queens- Somewhere around Long Island] - 3rd POV
A certain woman hangs up the phone while looking at the window behind her desk.
She has a long and sleek black hair with a few gray mixed in the hair. She dressed in a tailored, high-end designer pieces,silk blouses and trousers that emphasize her figure without being overt. She's wearing high heels that makes her look tall and proud. She's wearing a luxurious watch, the kind only those in the know would recognize.
No one could tell the woman is reaching her 50s. Some people might think she's a queen from medieval world that has magic because she's exuding a certain aura.
She turned around and put the phone on the desk before the was a knock at the door. She looks at the door and began to think of the conversation she just had.
"Nah, it can't be." Words slipped her mouth before she walk towards the couch in the room and said "Come in".
The door opens and reveal a man carrying a trey full of tea sets.
"Sorry for the delay Ma'am. Hope you didn't mind waiting?" the man said as he out the trey at the table near the woman. He kinda looks like a butler or something in the line of work.
"No problem Trevor. Oh before I forgot to tell you, The Baron is coming. Allow the brat to pass when he arrives."the said as Trevor prepared her tea.
"Is it another delivery Ma'am?" Trevor asked the woman without looking at the woman.
"It's just a meeting. Nothing particular of necessity." the woman said to Trevor.
Trevor just nodded as he finished with the tea. He didn't ask anymore questions or say something. The woman drank her tea, as she keeps drinking, she thought of something. "What's going on with that man?" the woman asked Trevor.
"The Duke is still being investigated about the arrest of the Hound. It seems the Hound would be sentenced on 13th of March." Trevor said to the woman.
The woman had a compose face and simple said "I see" and continued to drink her tea.
She dismissed Trevor from the office and he complied with the gesture. After Trevor left, the woman seems to be in deep thoughts.
'How did you get caught Colt? Damn, this is irritating.' the woman thought to herself.
The room was silence, nothing could be heard from outside the room since the room was designed with sound proofing.
The woman kept drinking her tea in peace and she thought to herself 'I should wait for that brat to come and stop getting off track'
The woman just seemingly relaxed on the couch.
[90 minutes later- Same location] -3rd POV
In the same building the woman is at, the was a man walking in the steps leading to 5th floor.
He was wearing black T-shirt with leather jacket and black pants. He was wearing long boots like the military boots while walking with his hands on his pockets. He did have any accessories on him, like watch or necklace, he was just dressed casual.
The were two people near the entrance and it looks like they were guarding the entrance of the 5th floor.
Well, the building was designed in a unique manner that can operating a lot of things. On the 1st floor, it is a restaurant that is simply has everything a restaurant has.
On the 2nd floor, it is a nightclub. Just a club for partying and dancing, it has even a VIP section in the same floor.
On the 3rd floor, it is a strip club. It has everything a strip club has. It has the private or VIP room, a room were every stripper prepares, waitress for the beverages and a room to accommodate male strippers for women or gays.
On the 4th floor, it is a private floor but but most people who have been to this floor calls it 'The Hotel Floor'. It has plenty of rooms for those who like to indulge in Adultery and Meetings but not many can enter this floor, it is for the millionaires. You can do any illegal things, including murder, and it'll be covered up as well as erased.
On the 5th floor, it just a prohibited floor. It has few rooms for the 'lost girls' but the main purpose of the floor, is just an office. An Office where you can find the boss.
The building is 600-800 square metres and 70-100 feet tall. Let's just say the yard or location is 800 square metres and it is very tall. I did say the location is on Long Island City in Queens.
Back to the story
"Sorry Buddy, this floor is prohibited. Get back to the last floor you've been." the two guards said to the guy walking forward in the steps.
The guy just kept walking on the steps until he came face to face with the security guards. His hands are still in the pocket. The man just simply stare at the two guards and said
"I know but I have an appointment in the floor"
The two guards didn't believe what the man was saying and they try to reason with him
"Hey buddy, sorry but we didn't hear anything from an appoi----"
Before the man could finish what he was trying to say, he fall down to the fall unconscious, both of them.
The man was just casually walking with his hands in the pocket like nothing bothered him. He just stepped over the two guards lying unconscious in the floor.
The walked in the corridor of the 5th floor an kept heading straight to the room that was at the end of the corridor.
In the door of it, two guys was guarding the door and both of them tried to hold the gun in their back. Before they could do it, they fall down and lay unconscious.
The just casually walked to the door and knocked on it. He didn't wait for a response he just entered the door and he saw a woman sitting on the couch.
The woman just stared at him and said in subtle voice
"Took your time to get here and why didn't you give me heads up you were here?"
The man heard her and just said in a monotone
"I lost my phone"
The woman seemed unbothered and continue to say
"Of course you did. What took your time?"
"Cleaning up Garbage"
"Of course you'd say that. I thought it was a woman"
"Not interested"
"Come on you gotta live a little and don't always focus on business"
"They're distraction."
"I feel sorry for you wife. She's gonna have a problem"
"Not gonna get married"
"You're still a kid I see. Do you know how many men said that and they ended up getting married. All of them"
"I'm not one of them"
"And that's why you're still a kid. You're like my kid but he's a disappointment but You. Why don't you be my son?"
"Why don't you be my wife? You're interested in my personal life"
"Don't push it kid. You're not my type"
"And what is your type really? Besides the Duke."
"Not you"
The woman trys to change to subject and says "let's move on to why you're here."
The man waited for the woman to continue what she's trying to say.
"Remember the announcement about Nerolink Phone?" The woman said to the man and he nodded. The woman continue to say
"One my guys tried to steal it but turns out, the Nerolink was not in the LunaCorp building." The woman said and looked at the man
"So, you want me to find it and steal it for you?"the man said to the woman with a question mark face
"No, it's already stolen. What I want is subjects? Can you deliver them?" The woman said to the man
"I only deal with the opps and you know that. Unless you want them only?" The man said to the woman
"Yes, I know and that's why I want them in the 40's to 50's. Can you deliver them?"the woman said to the man.
The man looked confused and had a realisation. He looked at the woman confused with the 'Why' look on his face
The woman noticed that and repeated the question
"Can you deliver them, Baron? The woman said to Baron. Baron just thought for a little while and said
"Yeah, I'll try but let me ask you something?" Baron said to the woman and the woman nodded.
He leaned in to the woman and said
"Did the odd guy in the room steal that?" Baron said to the woman before he faced an empty corner in the room. The woman just smiled to Baron and folded her legs. She says
"Ain't surprised? But I told you, 'One my guys tried to steal it but turns out, the Nerolink was not in the LunaCorp building' don't you remember?" the woman said to the Baron
The Baron just smiled at her and said
"I do but You said 'One of your guys', so you clearly sent others to other locations or maybe hired someone?" Baron said to the woman and she just smiled. She said
"I guess our business is done. Pleasure doing business with you kid" the woman said before he stand up and opened the door for the Baron.
The Baron just stand up, put his hands in the pocket and left the room.
The woman just relaxes a little bit and said
"Jeremy, were you surprised when he looked at you?" The woman said to herself or someone. She's alone in the room currently until someone materialized in the corner and said
"No Countess, it's the second time someone saw me and I noticed it" Jeremy said to Countess
"Wait, you're saying someone can see you besides my husband and the kiid?"
"Yes Countess"
"Who is it?"
"Mark Lunar"
The woman thought hard on the name until it finally hit her.
"You mean the Director of the LunaCorp."
"Yes Countess and If I were you I would stop messing with LunaCorp."
The woman thought hard on the words Jeremy said and finally thought 'What did I get myself into?'
