Making a plan

Maverick's condition was not improving because we were waiting for him to wake up so we could try to get an idea of who had stabbed him.

"Liam,"

"Ben,"

"How are you?"

"I am ok. Did you get any news from Paul?"

"Not yet. But I asked my team to investigate more,"

"Hmm,"

"I think the group is led by your grandfather's son's offspring. They seem older than you,"

"What?"

"Yes, but their father was killed during some police investigation,"

"So they might have some revenge intention towards my family as well,"

"I guess so,"

We talked for a while, till Alex and Paul came together. They had bought us some refreshments and we settled outside the private garden in the hospital.

"We have made some progress," said Paul handing out some documents.

"So what's new?" asked Liam who already looked pretty tired.

"Well, the gang has about thirty members. The main source of income is drug dealing. They have also helped some big shots in dealing with their personal grudges," said Paul looking a bit worried.

"Like who?" asked Alex.

"Hmm, remember the Senetar's case about ten years ago,"

That was a piece of big news because they couldn't find who did the shooting at that time. And fingers were pointed at many people. Until a well-known politician from the opposition party came forward claiming the shooting was done under his instructions. Later this investigation leads to details about a new underground gang -pretty ruthless as the investigators described.

"SO these are the guys who took the offer?" asked Alex.

"Yes, but they never got caught,"

"How?"

"They had done a face swap,"

We looked at Liam, who went through the same because of his grandfather's cunning plans.

"Hmm...my grandfather is behind them, right?" he asked.

"We don't have proof they did it but seems like it," said Paul with a hand on his shoulder.

"Why does he have to go s extreme? What was he expecting from all this?"

"Hi, Liam, you are also a victim of his cruelty, as well as Maverick," I said to calm down his agony.

It's really a huge blow when your family itself is behind all these. Even though I cannot fully understand his feelings, I hope he can raise above all this happened.

"So what's your plan Paul?" asked Alex looking for a diversion.

"Well, we are planning a fake, drug deal at the moment. Specially targeting these gangsters,"

"So how can we help,"

"You all will involve as the frontiers who make the connection but the deal will go from behind to capture them while in action,"

"How are we going to do so,"

Paul explained, but he said every family member needs to know this and understand. So we made plans to meet at our secret place with my father, Alex's dad, and Sarah and Meg's fathers tonight. We thought to keep the ladies out of this and keep them on twenty for surveillance with personal bodyguards.

"But one small mistake would ruin the plan," said my father, while looking at Alex's dad.

"Yes, Alex and the media will defame you to the end. So we have to make a plan for that as well,"

"I think I can help you out," said uncle Holland as he also joined to get an idea from his side as he will be handling the media for us.

"But we will have to get the attention of the media if we want to get the gang to approach us," said Paul, who was already selecting his teammates to act as the client.

"Well, I think as your guy is going to be a new billionaire we might need to hype up him a bit. Maybe do some interviews and photo shoots as well," added uncle Holland who had a better idea of how to get the attention need. "We'll make him an introvert who is coming out of his hideout after many years,"

"Oh!!!... A curious plot" said Alex, who already loved the idea.

"But knight of shining armor, you will not be the main role in this so please don't brag about it," I said hitting on his shoulder.

"OH, why can't I have my moment of glory even in my imagination," brushed off Alex with a sad face making everyone laugh.

But with the things we talked about, I realized how serious this was. Actually, all our lives are at stake. And we have only three weeks at hand to get things done and capture them and to get to the bottom of all these.
