Persuasion...

Alex PVs

After giving the warning, Frankie responded immediately without hesitation, but Nez was hesitant, I knew his thoughts and said. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to, I'm in this not only for the country but from the beginning my target was this organization called the Conspiracy.

They killed my father! And I've been hunted since I was 14, you don't need to get into this mud, neither you nor Frankie need to get involved in it!"

Nez looked at me wide-eyed and then steeled his resolve and said. "It's no use, I mean, it doesn't matter if I join or not! Look at me, I'm dumb, I chose such an exclusive profession! Being an expert in destruction is not an easy field to find a job, where I can make a living if not destroying, if I don't work with you, I'll end up working for someone else."

"I'll work with you Alex, I don't have a family anyway, so it doesn't matter. Not to mention you're going to give me a very fat salary!" Frankie says with a smile.

"Hahahahaha... Relax, money is no object! Nez, you're so smart and crazy about explosives, there's no way you could have another job!"

"Hump... I'm not talking to you!" Nez walks away from me and goes to Meg.

"Alright then, I'll save my theater heist in New Orleans for next time!" I say with a smile and then pull out my cell phone.

"Wait! Why would you be interested in something that is located in a theater?" asks Frankie, Nez also approaches with interest.

Me, of course, already wanting to irritate, he said. "No big deal, this is just a childhood dream that led me to live in New Orleans... You pretty, fancy girls won't be interested in these boring things!"

"Puff... Hahahahah..." Taty laughs.

"Go to hell Alex! Don't talk to me!" says Nez with eyes filled with angry tears.

"Hahahahaha... This time he tricked you, Nez." Frankie starts to laugh.

"Go with Meg and she will tell you everything you need to know, I have to call! You know what, I think it would be nice for you to hear this conversation, after all, he will be our contact to expand my business!"

" Everything is fine!" said Meg, the others nodded in agreement.

"Meg tell them everything they need to know! Mostly about the Ship!"

"Fine! But is it to talk about history or is it just general information?"

"General information huh! Want me to say I'm fulfilling a childhood dream? I'm not ashamed of these things."

"~ Hmm. ~ I won't say anymore" Meg says with a sweet smile.

I didn't say anything else, and dialed Geoff's number, a few seconds later he answered. " Hi, who's speaking?"

"Hello Sean, how are you, how is your family?"

"Who are you? how do you know my family, wait, how do you know that name?" Geoff asks nervously.

"Hahaha... Sean or should I say 'Àcce', you don't have to worry about your family, they're fine, except for your eldest son, who was a bit rebellious, apart from him, the rest is fine."

"You... Who are you and what you want is money, isn't it?"

"Hahaha... Sean my old man! You're a smart man, you must have guessed that I have a good knowledge of you and your secrets, after all, I knew about your kids and your mistress back in Alaska!" I speak with sarcasm.

" What you want?" says Geoff

"It's okay. Now we're speaking the same language, what I want from you are three things! If you do everything right, your kids and wife will go home and live happily ever after!"

"Stop stalling and speak up!" Geoff yells into the phone.

"Hahahahah... You're doing something wrong here! I'm the one who gives the orders, understood, if you displease me I'll rip your crazy son's tongue out!" I say with steel in my voice.

"Alright, calm down! no violence necessary, I'm already cooperating." Geoff says softly.

"Good! Now, before your first task, I want to test your sincerity, after all, you are a very powerful man and you have many contacts, I want to know some of these contacts.

More precisely, you arms dealer! Who is he, and how can I find him!"

"I'll prove my sincerity, I'll text you with all the details! Give me a minute," says Geoff.

"You have exactly 1 minute if you're late I'll send your son's ear to your company headquarters! You old hypocrite shit!" I spoke calmly and hung up the phone.

"So girls, what did you think of the conversation and what did you understand?"

Frankie, as usual, was the first to respond and wasn't happy. "What I understand is that you threatened an old bandit with his innocent family! I didn't know you were so cruel!"

"Alright, I know I'm cruel, after all, being soft with enemies is being cruel with myself! And you, Nez, what's your opinion?" I answer seriously.

Nez looks into my eyes and says softly. "You want something from the old man on the phone, for the calm and the words, you investigated him before preparing everything, as you said yourself, that you knew where your wife and children were.

But the main thing is that his wife and kids, it looks like they're not innocent... I don't know why, but I feel like there's more to this story than what you told him!"

"Well, you're partially right! I know most of Geoff's dirty little secrets, and especially his murderous wife and kids, the whole family is rotten.

Yes, I didn't say I know everything about him, but just the main thing, after all, I want him to feel safe to try something funny, so I kill one of his kids, so he understands I'm not kidding!"

"Oh. You're cruel!" Frankie says he feels better for not threatening innocents.

Just as I was about to continue the conversation, Geoff called me. "So, did you send all the information?"

"Yes, the organization I am a part of has three arms suppliers, one Russian, one Swiss, and one African! All the information we have from them has been sent to your number right now! Do you want anything else?" Geoff is a little nervous because he was a few seconds late.

"It's okay, this time I want money, more specifically 800 million! You have 2 days!" As soon as I finished talking I turned off my cell phone.

The girls looked at me strangely and Nez asked. "Alex, why are you asking him for money?"

"Hahahahah... You still don't understand? Alright then, the reason I asked Geoff for money is to deceive my true intentions.

I'm different from other kidnappers, money is not my goal, but he doesn't know, for him what I want and get as much money from him as possible, so I asked what interested me as proof of loyalty and honesty, while money.. ."
