Mystery Building
At Thompson manor;
Hank arrived home and opened the door to see Michelle seated on a couch with a book at hand. “Michelle?” Hank called out to her in confusion, “I thought you were in the hospital?” Hank continued as Michelle turned to look at him.
“Geez Its nice to see you too cuz” Michelle responded with a sarcastic smile. “Come on Michelle, of course I’m happy to see you. I was just wondering because I thought you would be in the hospital” Hank explained as he sat next to Michelle.
“But seriously weren’t you supposed to be in the hospital for like… the rest of the week?” Hank asked his cousin once again still curious as to why exactly she wasn’t in the hospital. Michelle paused for a bit before deciding to answer, “I asked to be released early after what happened… I just didn’t want to stay there any longer”
Hearing her words Hank understood and placed his hand on her shoulder, “hey don’t worry you can stay here after all this is your home to after all. Now let me go get the wine” Hank spoke as he made it back to his feet. “Really its not even noon yet” “Its never to early to have a glass of wine” Michelle chuckled at that as she watched him walk off.

“I won’t mince words ladies and gentlemen; you all know why we are here” Ernest spoke as he stared at the screen before himself. On the screen were a group of people all at different locations present for this virtual meeting.
“recently Samuel had the audacity to attempt to kill my daughter as well take control from me” Ernest spoke in a frosty tone that caused all participants of the meeting to feel his anger wherever they were. “I don’t need to mention what happened to him as I am sure each and every one of you has already obtained this information through your various sources”
The participants remained silent, silently agreeing to what Ernest had just said. “The same happened to all who decided to join him on his ventures. This meeting was called so we are all clear, I am a very generous and understanding person but if you push me… I will push back.” Ernest stopped there to allow for his words to sink in and from the various expressions the members of the board tried to hide Ernest was sure his message had sunk in.
“Now on to pressing matters our plan is 70% complete, Samuel actions might have caused some hiccups but with the help of my associate be rest assured we are back on track and will soon reach completion in but a few weeks.” The participants gave a round of applause hearing that which caused a smile to appear on Ernest face.
“what about the vigilante? I hear he calls himself the Phantom” A participant rose the question which was on all their minds. The smiles on their faces quickly vanished, “do not worry about him , we have plans to deal with him”.
“very soon the Phantom… will be no more” Ernest assured them before the meeting came to an end.
Hank after sharing a bottle of wine with his cousin managed to slip away and had to his secret base. Hank moved to a pc and connected the hard drive allowing him to see what files there were on it.
Hank began going through the numerous files, most of the files were related to transactions especially real estate all over the city. After watching a few more Hank realized there was something suspicious about all this, he wasn’t interested in real estate but even he knew that some of this buildings were bad investments and it seemed this properties had connections with the same group of people.
And there was a building that didn’t make any profits yet Roland shared this property with so many people, with one of them being Samuel Oku.
The name rung a bell for Hank, as he thought harder her remembered the man he saw when he first met Naa. A quick google search brought up Samuel Oku who was apparently dead but as he researched the ownership of the building became even more suspicious as Samuel Oku had absolutely nothing to do with real estate.
Thinking of this Hank turned to his suit with one thought in his mind, ‘it was time the phantom paid that building a visit.'
