“The road of Brooklyn slums. Brownsville.” He said.
“Brooklyn slims? The perfect place for him to lie low” The manager whistled,
I had gotten most of the information I needed.
“I’ll be on my way. Mr. …” I trailed off.
“Drew.” The manager replied.
I didn’t even ask for his name all through, but he helped me greatly
“Thank you, Mr. Drew. You’ve been a big help to me today. I’ll speak to the higher ups on your promotion.” I said.
Thanks
You
su sir, it was a pleasure helping you” He said, beaming in excitement.
“Stay safe sir.” He waved as I drove off
Thim, but he
I was driving to the Brownsville, the slums of Brooklyn. I remembered that I hadn’t called Fleur. I picked up my phone about to call hi called instead.
“Hey Fleur, are you still at Mid–wood!”
“Yes, I’m currently with Mr. Danbury’s mourning family. He said.
“Who died?” I asked.
“Mr. Danbury. His body was already roiting and was hacked up, apparently it seemed he had a struggle with the criminal which led to him killing him. Plus his family are just discovering his body, they had went on a vacation and he was the only one at home. He explained.
“How bad” I asked
“Really bad. His body was almost unrecognizable, if not for his decapitated head which was placed near the body, we wouldn’t know he was the one.
He said.
“Where was the body found?”
“In the garage, all strewn up. The police are here already, they said they’ve gotten his location. He is at the slums. They’ve already sent officers to the slums, searching for him.” He said.
If the police find him before me, they might probably kill him. I needed him alive, I wanted to know the mastermind behind all this. If it was Veronica or not. Either ways, whether it’s her or not, I’ll make sure to torture the person before the police can even get to them
But for now I needed that criminal alive.
“Fleur, tell the police to leave him alive if they find him first.” Iaid
Alright. I’ll be leaving here soon, I’ll head to the slums too, we might meet
“Okay, stay safe.” I said before disconnecting the call.

This criminal was dangerous. He only tried to hit granny Mira because he was ordered to, what if he was not ordered! He would have done much
I called the bodyguards watching over Ana and her family.
Do not worry, loss, they’re safe, and this side is calm. The leader said.

“Good. Because if as much as a strand of hair is touched on any of them, consider yourselves gone” I threatened
“Rest assured, boss, they’re well protected” He said before I disconnected the call.
I soon reached the slums. I could see a few men, women, and children dressed in rags loitering around looking for bits to pick up
Some sat on the ground, diewing their nails,

Her eyes shone with excitement, but
“Look at this, I said, showing her the dranking. Have you seen this person?” Tadel
She nodded vigorously, before pointing to a narrow road
“He passed there!” 1 ndbed and she nodded her brad.
“Are the police here!” I asked. She nodded again, pointing at that marrone road.
“Thanks” I said, before bringing out a ten dollars bill and giving it to her. She eventually stood up and skittered around excitedly
The other people looked at her with hungry eyes. I Before they would harm her, I gave each of them a ten dollars bill. Some of them looked at me gratefully, while the others just scampered away
I walked through the narrow point she pointed and found myself in a vast area. I didn’t see any sign of the police. There were a few, old, dilapidated buildings surrounding this place.
“Quinn” A voice called, it was Fleur
Wow, you got here quick.” I said.
“How did you find this place!” Lasked.
I me politely without causing a ruckus.” He explained.
“Well from the people you gave money, they were apparently happy and answered i
“This people need help. The crime rate could be reduced if they re offered help. I said.
“True. But let’s go into the main purpose we are here for. Let’s find that criminal.” He said.
“We’ll stick together in case of surprise attacks” I muttered
We moved from one dilapidated building to another until we reached one and entered a room, which seemed unusually warm.
“Someone was here” Fleur muttered.
“And the person might still be here” I said.
We made our way towards the bathroom, the old bathtub was filled with clean water. The person was still here. The door of the room suddenly shut, we looked at ourselves.
I peeped and saw the infamous criminal we had been looking for. I came outside, and Fleur walked outside to meet me but I pushed him into bathroom and shut the door.
I would face this bastard aduor. He smiled, his gray eyes crinkling.
“Well, well, well. Look at what I have here, the infamous billionaire Who would have thought that there were other people looking for me ap from the police. He grinned.

“Open this f*cking door Quinn. Don’t do this. let’s face that bastard together.” He yelled.
Tch, your friend makes a lot of noise. After I kill you, I’ll remove his tongue before killing him.” He said, twirling the
egun in his hands.
I walked towards him, asking again.
“Who sent you?“
“Wow, what bravery you have coming to be while I have a gun in hands.” He chuckled. I ignored him and continued walking towards him
Fear flickered in his eyes and he pointed the gun at me.
“If you come any further, I’ll shoot you, I swear.” He said, gratting his teeth.
I still kept on walking towards him, and he shot at me.
