Phil lounged on the couch, idly playing with a cat by his side.
He was teasing the cat with a dried fish, amusement twinkling in his eyes.
But the cat suddenly flashed its claws, scratching lines across the back of Phil's hand.
He frowned, tossed away the dried fish, and the cat quickly went after it.
Philip sat on the opposite end of the sofa, deep in thought.
He used to think he had everything under control, but now he felt like the reins were slipping from his grasp.
His phone was ringing off the hook—it was the calls from the people in the bombed mansion.
The core members were just injured, but some of the new recruits in training had died.
It wasn't enough to knock Phelps down, but it was certainly a blot on his reputation.
His phone buzzed again.
"Mr. K, 002 is dead."
002's Achilles tendon had been cut, and couldn't run like the others.
So, when the bomb dropped, she was the first to go.
003 wasn't much better off. She had lost half her life in a prior gambit where she'd deliberately let a target escape to aid Maja's mission and had been punished for that.
But thankfully, Phelps didn't want her die. This evening, she was severely injured due to the disability.
Now, everyone had scattered, settling down elsewhere.
But the news of the trouble had already spread within the organization.
"Mr. K, the elders are contacting to me, asking about tonight's events."
BK was a vast organization, from 002 to 009—each a potential successor for leadership.
And Phelps had them all in his grasp.
He rubbed his temples, "What did they say?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
