Ch. 1.12 cat and mouse chase.

A man wearing black clothes can be seen in a convenience store buying some gum and foods while looking at the TV that is on. So far the news that he is waiting to be broadcast did not happen.

"That would be thirty dollar sir." the cashier said, looking at the man wearing a black coat with the hood covering almost half of his face. 'This man is weird.' she thinks to herself before smiling when the man gives fifty bucks.

"Keep the change." the black-clothed man said before getting his purchase and briskly going outside, he even bows his head.

"What a weird guy, but he is really generous giving me the twenty bucks." She whispers looking at the man walking towards his car.

The man quickly drove by, stopping at an electronic shop buying ten disposable cellphones. He again avoided the CCTV and again tipped the staff in the same manner as the cashier.

"Miles, we had a deal, deposit the money or you won't like what will happen to you." he sent his first message before smirking.

"Miles, I'm waiting!" he again wrote before stopping his car beside a trash bin and putting the disposable device in.

The man wearing the all-black ensemble is the same man who looks at the two cargo down on the frigid cold water on that fateful day, he been in the road for two days now, only stopping to eat, to use the bathroom and catch some short sleep.

"Miles..Miles..Miles.. Oh, Miles, your so dumb!" the man said giggling then breaking to full-blown laughter, uncaring to the people looking at his direction. The car is tinted, nobody would see him.

Miles threw his wristwatch on the floor making the device shattered into pieces, he is livid. He is planning bloody murder.. The man wants to intimidate him? He really has some guts. The man better be make sure to hide very well because he will make sure that he will hunt this bastard down on whatever and wherever he will go.

"Don't be too smug, in the cat and mouse chase, I will make sure that you are the mouse!" he says loudly before calling a hacker to track the device location.

After the hacker informed him of the location, miles decided to go there with his own. He will not hire a goon to do the job, This time he will be the one to act. There will be no one to know. There will be no one to tell. Hell will freeze before his crime will see the sun. Kaidan is gone. This man will be next!

Miles drive for almost an hour before arriving at his destination, a gasoline station. Parking his car in the convenience store, he looks at his surroundings making sure that nobody is spying on him before getting his sling bag. His gun is in the bag. Arranging his bull cap and sunglasses, using the tracker he locates the device.

"Shit! That slimy scumbag!" miles roared, the device that he is tracking is laying in a garbage bin with post-it notes written "GOT YAH! ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ME? TOO BAD I DON'T WANT TO SEE YAH!"

Miles kick the garbage bin making the lid fly. the people looking at his tantrums all look away, some even hide when he glared at them.

Marching towards his car, he closes the door loudly before driving away like a maniac. His heart and breathing quicken, he clenches and unclenches his tense hand, and he even perspires caused by too much anger. That man is really testing him.

Ping! Sound signalling that he receives a message on his new wristwatch.

"I'm driving, show it to me by holograph" he orders his device. The El Futuro again upgrade their product.

"WERE YOU LOOKING FOR ME? WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT MY LOVING NOTE TO YOU? DO YOU LIKE IT? DID YOU SEE MY PRESENT? I PERSONALLY DELIVERED IT IN YOUR HOME, DO ENJOY AND GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK."

Upon looking at the words, he accelerates his car, driving all the way home, over speeding. Miles is really thankful that it is not a rush hour making him drive back home for just forty-five minutes.

" Did someone come here looking for me while I'm gone?" miles questioned the guard upon reaching the door of the building where he is residing.

"None sir!" the guard even shakes his head.

"Okay, Thank you." miles said, smiling in a strained manner making the guard winced, his strained smiling face is even uglier than him crying.

'The man might just be bluffing, nobody can enter and exit this building if they don't have a visitors pass.'

Taking a deep breath and calming himself, he goes back to his residence. He is really thankful that he and Anna are still living separately because he doesn't want his son to be a drag at this chaos. He might be a bad person, even a killer but he still wants his reputation to always be sparkling clean on his child's eyes. He doesn't love the mother but he adores his son.

Miles check the corridor, even the back of the mat and the potted plant on his door. It is better for him to be safe than sorry. Everything is clear. Even his door doesn't have any sign of tampering or breaking in.

Miles again checked the inside of the house, his bedroom, office, basically anything and everything in his house, he opened all and double-check. Still clear.. The man is just clearly pulling his foot.

He again takes a deep breath, this time in relief before going to the kitchen to get some water, the tense ordeal making him thirsty.

Beep.. Beep.. Beep.. Beep..

A sound comes from the outside, someone is keying a pin on his door. Looking at the calendar, Miles smiled, Anna and his son are due to visit, they might be the one.

Blag...

There's no one!
