Chapter : 3 “Penalty for snitching”

    “Poor girl , Brass! You are up next make sure you destroy her kitty cat” Lucas added with a vengeful smirk

    "Sir, I am ready to spill the truth ," the man finally conceded defeat. 

   After an agonizing process of confession between the man and Lucas,

   "You know the consequences of your betrayal for selling the gang's secrets to Vincenzo”, Lucas fumed exuding an oppressive vibe.

  He nodded in submission, the thought of what he was going to face flashed through his memory in an instant.

     Everyone in the gang knows n

 how ruthless the people in charge of discipline were, and now the Kingpin himself would lay his judgment.

  "Any last wish ?", Lucas asked with terror in his eyes.

   "Am ready to pay any price but I request you let go of my daughter", the man pleaded.

   "Tie him up", Lucas ordered.

 The boys lower the peacher 'snitch' into the sea near the propeller of the ship,

Squash! Squash!!,

    The sea surface which was currently rough with waves slowly reflected a chilling gleam ,and blood coated the surface

    "Popsy! What about the girl ?" , Carlos asked lust evident in his voice" 

    Lucas smirked at him , "She's your plaything, do whatever you think is right".

    The boys watched Lucas depart and immediately dived at her , there was indeed going to be dirty orgy party down at the base of the ship

    Meanwhile At the Ozonic confinement site , Police yellow tape wrapped around the proximity of the crime scene.

    Claded in a black skin tight leather trouser, and a black polo ,which accentuated her voluptuous body especially her slender waist ,her eyes were covered in black sunshade , her long black and silky hair was braided at the back with her black shoulder gun holster strapped on. 

      Behind those black shade laid a beautiful face and the almond - shaped eyes veiled with coldness..her outfit radiated the enticing aura of an agent or perhaps a detective tanned and fit ,the men stared lustfully at her as she swayed into the police yellow tapes around the crime scene,

   She was a woman by the name, "Breanna Stewart ", she was invited on a special order to investigate the case, the fire squad had already extinguished the fire but there was still smoke covering around the remains of the building ,

   Breanna Stewart studied the rubbles meticulously taking in every little detail,

   Fog cloaked the area , shrouding the gruesome scene in mystery

    The crackle of thunder echoed the chaos left behind reminding everyone it was time to take the corpses to the morgue,

Breanna crouched to open the white clothes covering the corpse,

  “Ma'am I don't think it's a good idea to”, a cop warned her beforehand ,

     Breanna Stewart scoffed and strayed her eyes on the Captain's body , the scene before her was gruesome,

  “How many degrees of burn did he suffer?” she asked in a brash tone ,

    “He suffered a first degree burn ma'am”, a lady in a lab coat answered in a supplication of humble tone

  “Run an autopsy on him , I need the result this same night , check his lungs for traces of smoke , which may suggest that he suffocated from fire”,

  “Yes ma'am” the lady answered diligently and dived into action with her team , 

     With a gloved hand Mrs Stewart ran her finger on the charred body , his eyes and mouth were open which suggests that his throat might have being slit, she slowly brought down her gaze to the neck ,

"Sweet lord ...!!" 

   She muttered barely audible to anyone's hearing , the carotid artery was out which means the cut must be from a knuckle,

   "Excuse me Ma'am" ....the forensic lady interrupted Breanna's thought

The results are out , she said handling the physical results to her ,

   “Blade Knuckle!” Stewart called gritting her teeth and clenching her fist in frustration, “The cut was definitely from Blade Knuckles' trench knife" she thought.

    "I need the list of inmates taken in at the main station since a week ago”, she ordered the Lieutenant of the deceased Captain,

   “I can't release them, it's against our protocol”, the Lieutenant object trying to frustrate Breanna's investigation,

   Breanna stopped on her tracks and gave him a condescending look ,

  "Why do I get the feeling that you are trying to sabotage this investigation ?" Breanna asked eyeing him suspiciously,

   “Sir Lieutenant am not asking you rather am telling you to send me the BioData to my office”, she said in a hoarse voice 

    The Police Lieutenant wore a hesitant expression he grabbed a seat and sat down playing ignorant,

      Breanna observed him for a while, she made a call to the Headquarters and almost immediately the Lieutenant officer got a call, he was suspended, and an inquiry had been issued in his office.

    The thought of his corruption charges , flood through his head, every cop knows how strict the HQs are when they issue an inquiry ,

    The Lieutenant flare up in outrage sending a punch at Breanna's face, 

   However Breanna Stewart ever poised and defensive kicked him at a lightning speed and the very next moment, the Lieutenant officer was lying on the ground writhing in pain,

   Everyone was in daze at Brenna's agility and poised manner,

   “I will forgive you since it's your first time , try getting into a fight with me next time , and I will make sure an ambulance takes you with them”, she glowered at the man ferociously her tone was sharp and venomous.

     The Lieutenant officer stared at Breanna Stewart retreating figure , and let out a sigh, he thought he could claim ascendancy over her and bully her but it was obvious he picked the wrong person , because now his on the verge of losing his job, 

    Nevena woke up to sunlight and a fresh warm summer breeze streaming in through a large set of open french doors,

She cracked her eyes open, the sound of city street outside filled her ear 

   

   Groaning, she pushed herself onto the elbow and scanned the hotel room.

   Yesterday she was hysterical with despair, but today she is up and ready to explore Mexico. 

     Nevena dressed up and found her way using the City map and navigation app .

   She went to Blueprint Restaurant which lay at the hearth of the Seamarsh street.

   The street was alive with the ebbs and flows of traffic

   She occupied a seat at the corner of Blueprint restaurant feeding her eyes to the street buzzing with activities,

  Nevena was a little absent minded, but a waitress tapped lightly on her table drawing her attention,

She was about serving a wine on Nevena's table , 

   Nevena shrieked her eyes darting around wildly as she tried to make out why she was being served such an expensive wine. 

    "Excuse me Miss!, I didn't order this ," she objected hastily 

   “Ma'am that man over there said I should serve you this”, the waitress explained, her smile undiminished

     Nevena's eyes examined the wine on the table, and the waitress unsure of what to do , 

   "Ooh, thank you!" Nevena acknowledged her tone courteously and she had a smile on her face reciprocating the waitress' warmth.

     Her gaze followed the direction the waitress pointed and it landed on a Mexican man in his late forties sitting with a gang. He had a lighted tobacco in his mouth as he puffed out smoke, 

    It was Vincenzo and his subordinate , they were at the Blueprint restaurant to strike a deal with a client, 

    The presence of the Bulgaria lady momentarily distracted Vincenzo.

   She was petite her skin was soft and smooth completely speckless, her red copper hair was styled into a high knot and her crescent shaped eyes glistened when she smiles , 

Nevena approached his table ,

   “Excuse me sir, I acknowledged your kind gesture but am sorry I can't accept such an expensive wine, Thank you”

     She slowly placed the wine on his table and slightly bowed before exiting the restaurant, 

    Vincenzo stared at Nevena as she exited each sway of her hip sent his mind in disarray ,he was salivating as he stared obsessively at her he smiled sinisterly and signaled to people around him to tail her ,

     Nevena reached her new guest house at evening, she was totally exhausted due to the long stroll from the restaurant to her house , 

    She turned the door knob , and the door swung open under her hand , she made to switch on the lights, But a strong hand clasped around her fragile wrist and dragged her into the dark room followed by a loud thud the door slammed shut..

   “Hey-- who are you ?"What do you want ?” She asked, shrieking in fear but instead she was knocked out cold and she fell unconscious.

    Nevena woke up around shadowy alley behind a Casino, she opened her eyes only to realize that she was cuffed and her mouth gagged with a duct tape, 

  She was lying on the tarred road beside a glossy and expensive Mercedes car, 

    Nevena was clueless as to why she was kidnapped, she just arrived in New Mexico and she has already been abducted,

   Her vision was still blurry but due to the faint sound of music she realized that she was somewhere where a party was going on , she looked around but her abductor was nowhere to be seen.

    She wriggled her binded wrist, but it wasn't useful , she eventually gave up and slumped back to the ground,

     Immediately her head touched the ground, she perceived a greasy smell, her eyes darted open in an instant ,oil was leaking from the car that explains why her abductor left her perhaps to find another car,

   

She placed her hand under the leaking oil and it dripped straight down the cuffs, it sure made her hand more slippery and she slipped it out of the cuffs.

   With determination she forced herself to stand up , she staggered around but cautiously navigated from one corner to another ,

"Where did she go ..? She ran away?".

   “Hey there she is" she heard some men running towards her ,

   “Catch her or we are screwed up”,one of the men said.

     Outside the Casino a shiny car pulled up , Grinch emerged from the driver's seat, and open the door with a graceful motion, 

    Blade ‘Anthony’ in a well tailored suit stepped out, he adjusted his attire and headed towards the Casino while Grinch went to park the car. 

   Nevena turned to next building and she caught sight of a figure,

    Meanwhile the abductors were getting closer, she ran towards the figure but she tripped due to her dizziness, losing her balance.

    She grabbed the man's collar subconsciously and the two fell to the floor together ,she landed in his arm smearing his white shirt with oil,

   His manly cologne filled her nose, “Help me”, She muttered in a hush tone clinging onto his arm desperately.
