Chapter 35 : Pay Cheque

Exiting the hotel Mawson and Denver boarded a bus to Triton. Denver had taken the opportunity to view the sights while Mawson was trying to figure out what the skull of Topez actually was but he couldn't find anything.

"Denver do you know anything about an artifact called the skull of Topez" Mawson inquired

"ehm no I have never heard of it why" Denver replied

"just checking" Mawson replied resting back Denver's family are artifacts collectors and yet they had never heard of this artifact before that only meant the artifact must hold a lot of secrets behind its creation.

"Denver contact your mom and ask her if she might know something" Mawson spoke as they alighted the bus

"well I can't just contact her like that" Denver replied looking at Mawson's blank face as they walked

"I don't care how you contact her just get my information" Mawson said

"alright see I don't think you know or you noticed but I think you need to learn a little respect" Denver replied with clenched fists

"I should learn respect" Mawson said frowning as he looked deep into Denver eyes sending a shiver down his spine. No matter how Denver acted deep down he was still frightened by Mawson.

"now get my information" Mawson sternly said as they walked towards an Avenue

Denver didn't know why Mawson behaved arrogantly all he felt was that Mawson was a kid whose ego was overload and then turned out to be a powerful kid at that doubling his ego but only Mawson knew that wasn't his normal self instead it was his demons ego and arrogant way it was like he was becoming infected by it and now he had lost complete control over his calm and nice behaviour and he was becoming arrogant and destructive.

Mawson and Denver had arrived at what seemed to be a warehouse knocking on the iron door they heard voices come from inside as it seemed like they were throwing a party.

Mawson became impatient as no one opened the door. Hitting his fist hardly against it the door was sent flying as he walked into the building shocking everyone inside the building.

"hmm how many times am I going to tell you guys always answer the door" Mawson said walking into their midst looking at all the people in the room

"you are back?" Stephen asked as his mouth subconsciously widened in shock

"I told you he would be back" Josie said

"yes you expected differently " Mawson asked smiling

"no I didn't we just didn't now when you where coming back" Stephen replied dropping a briefcase on the table next to the others that where there

"how much in each ?" Mawson asked. He already knew that Stephen and the rest had sold the high grade weapons at a heavy sum but he wanted to know if Stephen would lie about the amount.

"five billion in each" Stephen immediately replied

"hmm where is the last briefcase then" Mawson asked

"huh what did you mean " Stephen wondered how Mawson knew about the last briefcase

"you sold everything for fifty billion there are only nine briefcase here where is the last?" Mawson repeated

"o well i had to give Randy his payments and that I is why the last box is missing" Stephen replied

"Stephen are you my cashier or accountant that decides how much i give to my workers ?" Mawson replied

"no but you were not around to deal with Randy and we didn't know when you would come back so I had to give him his payments" Stephen replied

"fine I want you to go there and tell him that his boss said he should return two point five billion back and he can share the rest and if he doesn't return my two point five then he should expect a turnoil" Mawson said sitting down

" but firstly where is my car key" he asked collecting the keys

Picking up a briefcase he tossed it to Denver before picking five more and leaving letting them share the rest.

"why did you give me this?" Denver asked

"what you dont need cash cause you could always hand it over " Mawson replied entering the car

"hey who is your friend" Josie asked as she approached the car

"well this is Denver he is my associate" Mawson replied

"associate I thought you where a lone wolf" she replied as she entered the car

"what type of associate do you think he is ?" Mawson asked looking back at her as he started the car

"you know your powered associate " she answered

"hmm yes he is and we have somewhere to be so you need to get down" he said waiting for Josie to leave

"well I am coming to" she replied still sitting

"there are monsters where we are going" Mawson tried to scare her off

"well I do want to see a monster" she said still not answering Mawson

"should I persuade her" Denver asked turning

"no don't well if you don't want to leave fine there are other things I need from you" Mawson replied

"like what" she asked

"like i want you to deposit this cash in the bank for me open the account and do just that then find me a house and a new car and ow Denver is going with you" he said as he opened the door and stepped out

"ow you don't trust me to do just that" she asked

"I do trust you is just that Denver has a special skill that could come in handy and also for your own protection" he said handing the keys to her before flying away

"he does know how to leave a lot" she said looking up

"here you are the guard so you should drive" she said stretching her hands to Denver

"sorry I don't know how to drive" Denver replied shocking Josie

"really even Mawson can drive and he is just eighteen" she replied

"fine but you would have to direct me I don't really know this place " Denver said collecting the keys.
