Zachary Pov
"Where are the weapons?" I asked as calmly as I could.
"I-I don't know," he trembled before on the floor, knelt on his knees he joined his palms and begged me for his life.
"Pitiful," I spat and shoved the back of the gun on his face. He fell down on his side and before I could kick him in his face Willi came in between us stopping me.
"Let me handle this," he asked and I glared at him. Huffing at him I turned around and rubbed my face aggravated by the situation. The illegal arms that were supposed to transfer to my dealer today vanished in the mid road and the only person we got in our hand was the driver. According to him, some thugs stopped the truck and took the arms with them throwing the driver on the road but I am far too concerned about it. I don't really care about the driver but only my arms. I need to transfer it to my dealer anyhow and the dare of those thugs.
"He is just keeping on repeating that some thugs stole it," came Willi's tired voice.
"Finish him," I stated not even looking back at the driver.
"What?" he asked in shock and the driver whimpered and cried as soon as he heard.
"Kill him," I said my eyes void of any emotions.
"We can't do that. He is the only one who can tell us where the weapons are," Willi said and I took my phone out of my pant pockets when it vibrated.
As I read the text message from my informant an irritated and annoyed expression marred my face as I turned around ready to kill the damn bastard of a driver.
"Well, I can tell you where the weapons are," I gave out a sarcastic laugh and the next moment a gunshot was heard in the room. The driver's leg was shot by none other but me as I pointed the gun at his face as I looked at him with an intention to kill him then and there.
"What are you doing?" Willi yelled at him and tried to get on my way to stop me from killing the driver. I showed him the text message and as realization struck him, he looked back at the driver who was yelling and sobbing because of his wounded leg.
"You bastard! You surrendered the truck to the damn cops?" Willi snapped at him and the next moment he was the one who kicked him in his stomach.
"This crazy bastard," I muttered as I looked the driver getting hit and I kept on watching until he was on the verge of death.
"Stop," I said and Willi looked back at me.
"But he-" he stopped midsentence when he noticed my murderous expression.
"On whose order did you do that?" I asked as calmly as I could to the driver who writhed in pain on the ground with hands tied on his back.
"I will never tell you," he laughed and spat blood on the ground.
"We will see that," I said and turned around to Max.
"Bring the taser, use it on him until and unless he tells the truth. Don't let him sleep or die. Make him suffer," I looked back at the driver who was breathing heavily.
"Start now!" I said and walked out of the room.
His plea of agony could be heard even after I walked out the warehouse. They did their work perfectly of making him suffer.
"Call Jeremiah and tell him about the situation,"
Willi nodded and fished his phone out of his pant pockets in order to call our man who worked as a cop. I walked to my car and got in. Igniting the engine and drove off to my office building. Its been three to four days since I went back to my office. I have been busy solving my illegal dark matters lately and because of that, I have not been able to work on my legal works.
"Good afternoon Sir," Cosmina greeted as I walked past her desk.
"Send every important file that you need to sign to my cabin, I intend on finishing every pending work of mine today itself," I said as I stopped in my tracks and looked back at Cosmina. As I was talking I heard a loud gasp and turned to my side to find the woman whose name I remembered as Cristina starring at my hand with wide eyes.
"Sir you have blood on your hand and also on your sleeves. Are you hurt?" the woman tried to touch my hand but I jerked my hand away even before she could touch me and glared at her.
"Mind your own business Ms. Dimir," I said nonchalantly and looked back at Cosmina.
"But Si-,"
"Send me the files Cosmina," I said and turned around to leave.
As soon as I went inside my cabin, the first thing I did was to walk to the small shelve where I took my extra shirt out and went inside the bathroom to wash the blood and change my shirt. Everything is messed up in my life. I watched as the water turned red as it washed away the stains of blood from my hand into the sink. The water running down from my hand had all my attention. I looked at myself in the mirror.
Nothing
"Get off my table," I had to glare at him to keep my point because he is not from the one who takes me seriously.
"Oh boy! You and your mood," he shrugged before getting off my table. He walked around and sat on the chair before throwing his head backward and exhaling out a breath.
"I heard what has happened. Arms has been seized by the police hu?" he leaned against the chair comfortably and took the paperweight rolling it between his hands he spoke "Now they will look into it and then they will find you in no time," biting down on his lower lip he looked towards the glass window as he kept the paperweight back on the table.
"Want me to take the lead in this matter?" he asked out of nowhere.
"You?" I scoffed at the thought and closed the laptop shut.
"Yes me!" squinting his eyes at my direction he rubbed his eyes with his palm before getting off from the chair.
"I have assigned Willi into this matter. He can take care of thi-"
"Aren't you playing too naive lately hu?" he slammed his hands on my table.
"You have blind trust on that guy. As much as I remember he was the one who killed my cousin and your sister isn't it?" he asked raising an eyebrow and I clasped my hands and kept my elbow on the table "He has won my trust and I am not blind when it comes to him. I do have my eyes set on his movement,"
He looked at me for some seconds before he laughed aloud "Hmm Interesting. Indeed very interesting,"
"Well, then I'll be off now. I have work to do. Give me a call if you need me. I'm off to Melbourne now," a ghost of a smile played on his lips as he adjusted his tie.
"Melbourne? Why Melbourne?" I asked thinking what type of work does he have in Melbourne when all his business is in here in Romania.
"Huh?" he looked up at me with his raised eyebrows before speaking "Oh it's nothing. Just that unlike you I do have a woman whom I cherish and is alive," he air quoted the word alive. In a jerk, I was on my feet seething with anger for his disrespectfulness.
"Kristian you need to hold your tongue before me," I said as calmly as I could not wanting to hurt my brother.
"That..." he bent towards my direction ina mocking state with his hands shoved into his pant pocket "Is purely upon me, my brother" he smirked and taking tentative steps walked out of my room leaving me burning with rage.
"Idiots! All are idiots," I muttered to myself as I raked a hand through my hair.
