" There's been a lot of crimes for the past ten years my dear friends. We as The Light, have failed to live up to the cult's motto. We don't kill for personal gain by the way, we are trying to clear the streets. Wash them of dirty characters. We trained all of you to have something you'll be proud of till your death! Cereal killers, the best in generations to come. Our new targets are the gangs. Not only here in Chicago but even world wide."
In a partially darkened office, a man with a gray moustache sat at the office table, holding a large boss type cigger, his hands crossed to his chest. His eyes were light green and his head neatly trimmed. Opposite him stood nine individuals dressed in all black and masked fully that not even their eyes would be seen.
" I have a list of the known gangsters...the international names. They have acquired billions of money from selling drugs and fire arms. Some have assets such as hotels and estates, while some insist on creating large gang empires." he mentioned to them, reaching out to his locker and bringing out a black file.
" Our first member on this list is Sam Quinton also known as Quint. He owns a lot of assets that I wouldn't want to mention now. Has a total of 478 criminal cases with the united states police. We don't uphold peace and security but we work to prove that no one is above the Light!" he added, opening the file and taking out the list.
" Selene....this is going to be your job" he let out the list to the first individual at the front. The individual took the list respectfully and stood back.
" I want that job done as fast as possible. I'll not give you a time limit...but you'll have to give me feedback as soon as possible. Meeting adjourned! " he spoke, sitting back to his chair and smoking his cigger. All the individuals gently worked out, but the one with the list stayed behind.
" You don't have to always do this you know" the man spoke. The individual took off the mask and organized her hair backwards. She was a good looking young lady with rather dark lips and a tattoo ontop of her left eyebrow.
" Well done father!" she bowed respectfully.
" No need for all the formalities Selene." the man replied with a smile. Selene looked at the list in her hands and sighed.
" What? Can't do it?" the man asked.
" Not necessarily... It's just...these gangsters don't seem to be ordinary in any way. Have you encountered them before?" she responded.
" As an assassin...yes! But that was about ten years ago. I used to work for some of them." he answered. Looking through the list, then to the man she asked " You chose me to do it....why?"
" You're lethal, smart, fast and strategic. You are an upgraded version from the nine...from me and any other assassin that has been there. You're just twenty five and you're already the best at it. How could I entrust it to any other person?"
" If that's how it is then this can only mean that this Quint guy is a real deal. What's the loot?"
" 20 million dollars" he replied.
" Wow...that much?"
" Yeah. When you're done with the job, half of it is yours....half for the cult!" he smiled.
" But be aware.... there's a lot of other bounty hunters and assassins after the same people. So you'll have to do it right Selene." he added, looking straight into her eyes. She kept silent for a while then spoke up again. " Okay. So where will I start?"
" Here in Chicago " he replied, handing her a phone. Selene put the phone in her pocket, nodded then left the office.
" You all will pay for what you did to my nephew." the man said to himself with a grin.
Back at the Paloma beach in France, Ivan sat by the shore while Treasure played with the waters happily. The beach had been a little bit crowded because it was Bastille day in France. As he sat, his phone rang. He then stood up and walked away from the noise.
" Hello!" he spoke up.
" Hello" the caller responded.
" Yeah?"
" Am I speaking to Red?" the caller asked. On hearing this name, Ivan got somewhat surprised. Few people knew this name and this also meant that whoever had called was essential.
" And who is this?" he asked, looking at Treasure, who was now squatting and playing with the beach sand.
" It's Quint. My voice crackin' on something?" the caller asked.
" Quint.... what's up? You know you're not supposed to be communicating on air! And not with that name!"
" I know that bruv. But this is kinda an urgent situation." Quint informed.
" What is it? Your wife died?"
" No you idiot. It's something more serious!"
" Okay. What is it?"
" Let's meet up.....in Nice tonight at 10pm"
" I can't do that Quint. Am on vacation with Treasure."
" Ivan.....if we don't meet up, we all will be in trouble. I don't want you be off guard!" Quint spoke in a serious tone.
" You sound serious man....is everything okay?" Ivan asked softly.
" Let's meet up in Nice..Jauves club...10pm tonight!" Quinton spoke up, then hung up the phone.
Ivan took a deep sigh, looked at the phone, then kept it away. He then thought for a while, only to be interrupted by Treasure's voice. She was shouting and waving at him. He breathed in heavily, then out , smiled and ran over to her.
" What were you doing over there?" she asked with a beautiful smile. Ivan looked at her, held her hand and smiled.
" Nothing. Just had a phone call" he answered.
" Is it urgent?" she asked, looking in his eyes.
" Ahm...not so urgent!" he responded with a smile.
" You know you don't have to pretend with me. I can read you remember?" Treasure informed him with a soft smile.
" Quint called" he answered softly.
" Quint? Wow.....how is he? It's been long" Treasure asked.
" He's okay for now I guess!"
" Why say that? Is everything okay?"
" Am not sure. He wants to meet with me in Nice tonight"
" Oh...okay." Treasure responds, checks her wrist watch the speaks again.
" It's just 4:20..... let's have some more fun, then you can go meet him. Okay?"
" But we're on vacation love.... won't that bother you. Besides, you said you had a surprise for me " Ivan protested, holding her waist and pulling her closer to his chest.
" I know love. But he's a friend and he needs you. Am your wife...so you can have me anytime you want. Besides, you ain't going forever right? It's just one night."
" Right!" he responded with a smile, then passionately kissed her.
