Chapter five

CHAPTER 5

On his way downstairs, Richie met John.

John couldn't help but observe Richie, he knew he's actually done something to Kate and the look on Richie's face said it all.

"Shit!." John mumbled.

Richie stared at John wondering what's actually wrong with him, but he decided not to read any meaning to it.

"Come with me to my office." He said, and he left, with John trailing behind him.

Few minutes later, they arrived at Richie's study, and they both walked in, then they took a seat.

"There's something I want you to do John."

 Richie said and John furrowed his brows, he could feel the seriousness behind Richie's words.

"I'm listening." John said.

Richie cleared his throat, and he stared intensively at him.

"Can I trust you?." Richie said.

"Of course Boss, you can, you know I can never betray you." John said.

"I'm happy you said it yourself, I'll kill you even before you think of betraying me." Richie said, as if John's life means nothing to him.

"What's it Boss?." John asked, he's already used to Richie's threats.

"I want you to fake Kate's death." Richie said, and John's eyes were wide open in shock.

"What!!." John half yelled.

"You can't do that? that'll only worsen things between you and Gordon, what if he finds out?." John asked.

"He won't, and if he does, I don't give a fuck about it." Richie stated.

"Or are you gonna rat me out?." Richie asked.

"You know me Boss, I'll never betray you." John hurriedly said.

"If you can't betray me, then do what I told you without complaining." Richie groaned.

"Boss, do you really want to do this, what if Gordon finds out?." John asked again.

"You shouldn't be bothered about any of those, just do as I say and stop asking foolish and irrelevant questions." Richie said coldly.

"I'm sorry." John said with a little bow.

"Good, I want it done latest today." Richie said and John nodded.

"Be sure to plan this properly, I don't want it to be traced back to us." Richie warned.

"Yes boss." John replied, he knew he couldn't afford to say now, that'll only get him on Richie's bad side.

"That's all, you may leave now." Richie said authoritatively.

John stood up, he bowed, then he left.

Night time....

Lord Gordon was seated in his living room, having a talk with Sparrow, his right hand man.

"How can we get to that bitch?." Lord Gordon asked.

"I can't believe she played a fast one on me." Sparrows said.

"She can't run forever, well surely find her." Lord Gordon said.

Lord Gordon had already planned alot for Kate, he wanted her to have sex with a lot of men and she'll earn him alot if money.

Now all his plans was ended just because of her, and he'd be loosing a lot of customers.

"We need to find her Sparrow, this is something we should be serious about." Lord Gordon said.

Suddenly, one of his men rushed in, holding a cloth in his hand.

"Master." The man said with a bow.

Gordon frowned deeply, one thing he hates was to be interrupted in a discussion.

"I hope you have a reasonable reason for interrupting me, otherwise you should get ready to face your punishment." He said darkly.

His voice alone was enough to send cold 

shivers down the man's spine.

The man swallowed nothing, Gordon's presence alone scares him.

"We found this somewhere in the area when we were searching for Kate." The man said, showing Gordon the hoodie which had blood stains on it.

Sparrow stood up quickly, then he rushed to collect the cloth from the man.

"And there's this too." The man said, giving Sparrow a ring.

Sparrow took the ring from the man, and he inspected it, he recognized the ring to be Kate's, it had her name engraved on it, this was actually a ring giving to the Strippers at Gordon's brothel, each ring carries the name of the owner, Kate's ring had a little blood stain on it.

Sparrow looked at Gordon whose face was red with anger.

"How is this possible?." Gordon barked.

"How the hell is this fucking possible, are you trying to tell me that the bitch is dead." His voice boomed with anger.

"Where is her damn body?." He questioned.

"W we couldn't find her body, this was all we found of her." The man stuttered, his head was bowed down, not daring to meet Gordon's gaze.

"Damn it." Gordon spat.

He stood up angrily and went to grab the man's neck, slowly choking him.

"I want the bitch's body found and brought to me, otherwise, I'll have your head cut off and serve it to the dogs." He threatened in a dark menacing voice.

"Y yes boss." The man managed to say, he was literally shivering and sweating profusely.

Gordon roughly pushed the man, and he would have falled had he not manage to hold himself.

"Come with me Sparrow, and you too." Gordon said, then he left, with Sparrow and the man trailing behind him.

They got outside and Gordon pushed the man to the floor.

"Where did you find her dress and ring?." Gordon asked.

"Over there." The man pointed.

Lord Gordon left him and he got there, surprisingly he found the stain of blood there.

He squatted down and he touch the floor and he sniff it, truly it was a blood.

He shook his head, still not believing his ears, mere clothing, the ring and everything dosen't prove that she's dead.

He turned to Sparrow and he said to him.

"I want everyone to search for her, she might still be alive." Gordon said.

"What if she's been abducted." Sparrow said.

"I don't think so, we're heavily guarded, no one can take her without my consent." Gordon said.

"What if someone from here abducted her?." Sparrow said.

"Who's the man she's supposed to meet last?." Gorgon asked.

"Richie Winston , He's a business tycoon." Sparrow said and Gordon smirked.
