As he took his bath, he thought about the profits his organization are in a position to make from the sale of the collections of the two that just lost their lives. He got out of the shower and chose a blue designer suit out of his closet, he looked at himself in the mirror he’s gotten fatter every day since he started eating out, and he was too busy to go to the gym. He sighed, ‘well that is just a small price to pay for the profits I make’ he thought to himself. He stepped out of his stone house on east fifty-fourth Street, and got into the limousine parked in front of his house. “Dimarco’s” h

Chapter Three11th January 2009.New York City, USA.Danny woke up at 4:30am feeling the same way he always since the day John Wayne gave him the case to investigate. He had been rolling from side to side on his bed, almost throughout the night the thoughts of nailing Wolfgang was what filled his mind. He had a quick shower and put on his sports gear, he locked his apartment front door and went to the gym. As usual he got to the gym and went to the treadmill, as he exercised he thought of ways he could get incriminating information from Edwin Loans without suspicion from Wolfgang. He thought about a break-in to the bank headquarters, bugging their phones, or hacking into their systems to get information. But he decided against it as he remembered “never embarrass the bureau”. a popular maxim used at Quantico, attributed to Hoover himself. Something made him look up, and he saw Becky, Wolfgang’s secr

He wondered for a moment if he could penetrate through a member of Wolfgang’s staff, but he dismissed the thought as soon as he came, Wolfgang’s staff must have been suspicious of their boss, and would know that if he was behind those murders, then their lives are at risk, so they wouldn’t want to fraternize with anyone from the outside. Thirty minutes after he began to exercise on the treadmill, a beautiful woman walked past him, and started excercising on the treadmill right next to his. Danny paused what he was doing for a moment, and turned to look at th

He got to the club thirty minutes later, parked his car, and walked towards the club entrance. At the entrance, he greeted the Puerto Rican bouncer, Xavier who’s always stationed at the entrance of the club, standing at attention like a soldier. He handed the boucer, two hundred dollar bills, and walked into the club without waiting to acknowledge his stiff “thank you”. As he entered the club, he saw a very familiar face, it didn’t take him long to remember who the person is and where he had met him. Faruq was an old rapper friend, who he’d met in Texas. Then he remembered that Faruq is Nigerian, the sort of person he needed to see at the moment. He walked up to him.“Yo wassup dawg&rdquo
