Entrapped 22

He dropped the pipe he held in his hand "we all know Alex as the middle man in our business"he paused surveying each of the hard faces staring at him critically "unfortunately,our middle man has gone berserk and we all know what is bound to happen when our middle man goes berserk". He allowed the word to sink in totally.

The man were not in a hurry to say anything, El Salvador chuckled "we heard what you did to Julian and unfortunately to Maria".

Lycans eyes widened in Surprise "I killed Julian not on personal issues but it was strictly on business terms".

 "Then what happened to Maria".

 "That is a question Alex should answer".

El Salvador laughed outright "you are one funny ambitious young boy Lycan,but no matter what you do remember you have to pay homage to the ones who groomed you". The others nodded in agreement. "And since you have done these and at the same time come up with these dirty scheme to turn us against each other,I have to other choice than to declare war on you".

The others nodded in agreement, Lycan stared at them through half closed eyes smiling menacingly "I can see what Alex has done but all the same we shall meet gentlemen. Remember,I will cut every business deal with whoever has made up his mind to come against me".

 "Lycan!"El Salvador called trembling slightly "don't you dare do what you stand a high chance of regretting".

 "Don't you dare El Salvador think of ever making it out alive when you come against me".

The chair flew to where he flunged it to as he stormed out of the room,he gritted his teeth in utter fury, clenching and unclenching his fist to maintain his shaking frame. Lycan stood watching the others exit the room right behind him.

 "Things are getting out of hand"he thought as the men kept on leaving.

The door opened and the doctor with Sarah entered "we have made all preparations and should be on our way now"the doctor announced.

He looked Sarah all over "give me two sec"

She nodded and exited the room,he turned facing the window over looking the compound "I just had a discussion with the members"he began.

 "Did you find out anything?".

He shook his head "I still don't know how Benjamin died but I know Alex killed Maria and has taken over her supply chain which is terrible for the business. Remember,she ran about 50percent of it"

The doctor strike a match over the stick of cigarette which danced between his lips "Alex has really gone berserk and we know what it all means when the middle man goes off track. He knows our major deals and transactions and can ruin us without batting an eye".

 "That's why we need to do something,and I think we need to call the force for enforcement".

 "That won't be necessary" the doctor crushed the cigarette into the trash can and looked at his time "we have to move now,the flight leaves in few minutes".

He opened the door and meet Sarah who held the substance in her hand, "I will just keep it with me when we get to the airport I will take it".

He smiled smugly"that sounds better".

The drive to the airport was rather too quiet,the doctor kept on smoking his cigeratte while Sarah busied herself with looking out of the window at the busy streets and people. Her mind worked over a couple of things,what was Ross planning to do?, definitely she would not offer her as a sacrifice. What if she did?, Agent Ross was one crazy woman who did whatever pleased her and the thought of these really scared her.

Lycan was just running illegal businesses and yeah she did agree he has killed a couple of people but then she does not think he had actually killed her son nor her father. Whatever it was she definitely will make her plan work,Lycan has to fall in love with her and willingly hand himself over to the police and these whole saga will get to an end. But it was easier said than done,she sighed sadly.

The doctor eyed her "any problem?"he asked with a worried note of concern in his voice.

She shook her head vehemently "absolutely nothing,am fine".

 "You know Sarah,you have hang around with us long enough that am able to decipher your mood. Something is really bothering you".he light another cigeratte.

 "You smoke heavily doc,won't you get affected?" 

His laughter rang loud and clear as he threw his head back "that's ridiculous,I have been smoking since time immemorial so that should not be an issue".

She chuckled "you talk like my father".

 "Oh really?,tell me about him".

 "He is death"she looked out of the window blinking hard to keep the tears back "a long time ago".

 "So sorry about that".

Sarah looked at him,he was a middle age man, should be in his early fifties or even late fifties. He was hard brown with fair head and a sharp commanding tone which he hardly used but rather suppress it. He looked confidential and extremely nice.

She cleared her throat "doc,do you enjoy these job?".

He nodded, "I do but then again I don't have much choice".he shrugged "one must do something to survive anyhow".

She chuckled "what if you were given a choice,will you leave?".

 "Later in the year I would have done so,but unfortunately these people have become family and I don't abandon or betray family"he stared hard at her till she fidgeted,he chuckled "just saying".

She bit her lower lip "I thought as much".

The car came to a halt "here we are"he announced cheerfully.

Sarah produced the two packets and pushed them down her throat.

 "You have to hurry and be extremely careful. These is one of our most important client and he doesn't like delay".

 "You know quiet alot bout these client, thought Lycan kept his top clients a secret and I figure these one is one of them".

He scoffed "I have been around him quiet alot" he whispered "...even the wall have ears".

Sarah's eyes narrowed suspiciously but she still managed a smile,opened the car door and stepped out.

The doctor waited till she entered into the airport before he turned the ignition and drove away.

 "Am out of the building,but am not sure these plan of yours will work"she said worriedly as she stood staring into the bathroom mirror.

 "Let me handle these,good thing is you are not there so let me take it from here".

 "Who is giving you these information?,hope it is from a reliable source because I don't think it is safe".

Agent Ross groaned angrily "Sarah,I won't have you question my authority. You were trained to follow orders and that is what you should be doing not otherwise".

 "Sorry ma'm".

 "That's better"the line went death.

Sarah stared at her reflection and marveled at how much she had changed just these few months. There were dark circles under her eyes and her cheek bone had risen quiet a bit. She felt sick in her stomach as she stared at her wrist watch,she could hear the announcement over the PA,That was her flight but she was definitely not getting on it.

She grabbed the soap placed on the table and emptied it's content into her mouth while holding her nose,she made to swallow it and retched badly throwing up the liquid and the substance on the floor.

A quick knock on the door jolted her back to reality as she quickly picked the substance and stood staring at the mess she had made on the floor,the door flung open and a middle aged woman stepped in.

Her face contorted into an ugly pulp "ewww,these is extremely dirty. Why not clean these thing?".

Her fingers interlocked and her head bent she muttered quick successive apologies and rushed out,the already irritated woman followed suit behind her.

Alex grinned satisfactorily as he looked at John "oh my buddy,why do you think of abandoning me right now when I need you most. You did it to Maria don't think you can succeed with me.

He struggled between the two heavy men who held him tightly "let me go son of a bitch".

 "I hate that name"he muttered "if you really want to go then run one operation for me,if it's successful then you can go but if it's not. Well,you won't even make it out alive".

 "Whatever it is,am not doing anything for you!!!"he yelled.

 "Stop whimpering like a woman,you know I make you do what I wish and you definitely have no say whatsoever".he flicked his finger and the two men dragged him away.

He sat down on his swiveling chair, with his hand in his coat pocket he fished out a cigeratte,held it between his mouth and light it. The smoke curled up in front of him as his eyes stared out into nothingness. He thought about his early struggles in life,his ambition of being rich and owning quiet alot of money which was definitely coming through but he was not yet satisfied. His mind unwillingly pictured Maria, Maria the beautiful girl who lived without love till she died. He had always wanted her but when he owned her he killed her all for his selfish interest,since he had begun like that so there was definitely no turning back.

He crushed the cigarette into the ashtray and picked the telephone "Ross,are you ready?".

Agent Ross glared angrily but controlled her voice "not yet but am working towards that,my suspension has not even been lifted so there is no way it's working out soon."

He sighed "I was really hoping for a showdown today but anyways,get everything under control within seven working days".

 "You don't give me orders Alex,I do what I want and at when I want it"she gritted her teeth angrily.

 "That's the spirit"he laughed.

 "Can you get a hold on her?"Lycan asked while pacing worriedly round the room.

 "No,not yet but am still working on it.i asked the airport officials but the person by that name never boarded the plane".

He bit his fist hard on the desk "how dare she Rob me".

The doc sat smoking his cigeratte "maybe something happened to have held her down,let's just get a hold on her first then we can decide. Probably she is dead somewhere".he shrugged.

 "Find her at all cost,dead or alive".he stormed out in annoyance grabbing his jacket off the chair as he walked past.

Sarah sat on the wall overlooking the highway smoking a stick of cigarettes cars sped past sweeping the winter dust with them. Maybe these was her chance to escape and never look back both to the agency or Lycan. But Lycan never mattered or maybe he mattered just a little bit. She looked at the burner phone they had given to her it was already flooded with thousands of messages but she just ignored it.

The other burner phone given to her by the agency rang,she looked disinterestedly at the already familiar number and picked it reluctantly "yeah, Sarah here".

 "Go back to them,mission aborted for now and we still have a lot of planning to do". Agent Ross familiar voice spoke.

 "What do you mean?,how can I go back when I have been flagged off as a betrayed. They will definitely kill me".

 "They won't do anything to you Sarah,go back there untill you get further instructions from me".

 "Can I speak with the director?, maybe there's a way I can convince him to abort these mission. It's no longer favourable to me as my life is at risk".

 "Am the one spearheading these operation and you will do exactly what I tell you to".

Sarah sighed as she bit her lower lip to curtail her anger "it's alright"she muttered.

 "That's better,so go back to their harem and remain there till further orders are given".

 *Yes ma'am"she answered quiet reluctantly.
