MAKING A DEAL WITH GOLDCREST chapter 44

They were a nefarious gang. The type that kills without looking back... Or front. They were the cause of the three months distress Pome faced. They did drugs and even a foetus knew the name of this vicious gang...

Goldcrest.

This group sat around a wide table drinking; in their normal spot and drinking their normal drink. They were always given reservation for a vip table.

Everyone talked non stop and chattered away for a job well done . That was a great heist in the north of Sheba. They needed to congratulate themselves.

"If Cel and Amy we're here, it would have been much more fun", someone said and everyone kept quiet.

The boss, Cole looked who was silent drinking looked up at the idiot. There was a rule that no one spoke of the two sisters.

Everyone knew the truth. That Cole incited the quarrel. They later found out that he was the one who had killed Pitt. As the saying goes,' nothing remains hidden under the sun' . Though it was a secret that Celine and Cole kept, someone else saw it.

The skeleton does not remain in the cupboard. It could never. But what could a man tied in chains do? He would just seat , obey and pretend as if nothing happened.

Cole was their leader and they could do nothing about it. He was the most skillful and could easily beat them if they complained.

Cole stood from where he sat and walked to him, the one who said such nonsense. " We have rules, seal, don't we?" He asked. " Y... Y... Yes", he said shaking.

"And you think you could do away with it unscathed ", he said now bringing out his dagger. His eyes bloodshot from years of drinking blood and sweat.

" I am sorry", he said. "What are your last words, seal, we all need to hear it. Even though we went against our former boss, do you remember her last words", Cole said.

" Yes", seal said.

" And what was it?" Asked Cole.

"I hate you all"

Just as he said this. The dagger went straight to his heart. Blood splattered on the large table and into some drinks. Cole took a drink which most of the blood had poured into and he downed it.

" Does anyone have anything to say?" He asked.

No reply.

This was it . The beginning of a controversy. Though Seal had died, something resurrected... Revenge.

Just then, someone enters the room. Everyone stops thinking and looking at the blood and the drink , they all state at the intruder.

It was a lady.

" What brings a lady here?", Cole asked. "I am lady Gwen of south Sheba", she said not bothering to curtsy as a true lady would do.

What does she care, these people were barbarians, unruly fools that had no law. So why should she greet.

She wanted to take this risk to get that idiot out of her life, the prince's life and well enough, to take her, Celine, life.

"So what does lady Gwen want from us?" He asked coming to her with his dagger.

With her instinct, she moved back unwavering. " The lady Gwen wants you to kill someone", she said and Cole stopped.

"Why do you think I want to kill someone for you?" He asked.

Lady Gwen smiled looking around. "The rumours were fake", she said.

" What rumours?" He asked. "I hear that you have two women in your group, but I see non", she said now walking forward.

Cole smiled, " The rumours were true, it's just that a misunderstanding occured", he said in a tone that said that if she continued talking about those two women, she would see her own forehead.

"Well, what do you say?" She asked. He nodded and deepened his smile. " Why should I kill her, we're honest bandits", he said.

Lady Gwen didn't know what came over her, but she began laughing. " The trouble you made North Sheba face, pome suffered loss in their crops and you tell me you're honest bandits", she said and turned serious.

"Every bandit deserves to die. There is no such thing as honesty in this business", she said and he nodded. " You are wise, lady Gwen, who do I get rid of?" He asked.

Gwen looked around and shook her head. " You're too much of a boss to do such a mini work, let him do it", she said pointing at a young boy.

Troy stood and walked over to them. "What is her name?" He asked.

Gwen smiled and tossed a bag of coin. "She goes by the name Celine", she said.

"Celine", he said and looked at his dagger. Then he looked at her. There was no way a bandit would rise to the title of lady. It was impossible and unpredictable.

When she and her sister had left, he looked for means to know their whereabouts but got no Information. It was as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth leaving no footprint, no mark or anything behind... They just disappeared.

It could not be.

" Which Celine? I know a Celine that once lived here", he said curious to find out. " She is lady Celine of Garcia. Who betrayed God and had intercourse with the crown prince of Xavier. She is not a princess like I am just a mere lady", she said knowing that the Goldcrest never had time to spread such harsh rumours.

"Okay", he said relieved after the confirmation. " Troy you take on this job. Lead the lady Gwen out for her safety", he said.

" I can go on my own", she protested. He laughed like a hyena, though his cute face spoke of death... " You know you're in a lion's den, lady Gwen, by this time, the warthogs would be here", he said and she shivered.

The warthogs was another gang that acted like savages. They were the goldcrest's rivals. Sometimes during a clash, there would be no movement for about two weeks or so.

"Take me out, Troy ", she said and he nodded holding her hand. "When the job's done, I'll get you two more bags", she said as they left.

Cole walked away from his current position, not looking stepped on the dead body of Seal. " Fuck!" He cursed. Though she said the woman was a lady, he felt uneasy.

After all, there was a saying,' uneasy lies the head that wears the crown"...
