Grey waited patiently for Gregory’s call. It was late already and he just got back from the gym. He didn’t see Alex but he knew that the spy must have informed him of how things were going to be. Maybe that was why he was absent because he needed to sort out some things with Giovanni. All the same, Grey was going to see the face behind the mask that night. Just as Grey pulled off into one of the parking spaces, his phone rang. It was Gregory. “Hi, how are things?”
“Good news,” Gregory made a wheezy laugh. “We caught the spy on his way back. We let him deliver the wrong message before we got him. You can decide his judgment later but we are all set. We will move at your order.” “One of Pablo’s men would take my phone the moment I entered. There’s no way I would be able to contact you,” he informed.
“So, what do you suggest that we do?”
Grey thought for a moment. “Give me twenty minutes. Storm the whole place in twenty minutes. The basement should be where my men are. You just use the opportunity to get them
out.”
Gregory sighed.” We could be late. What if we get there and Pablo has already left?”
Grey smiled. “I will preserve the time if I have to. Just come directly to the mini club because that’s where I would be. I will handle the rest,” he assured. “Alright, we will go according to plan,” he finished up and the line went off. He placed a call to Beatrice and she picked it up immediately. “Hi, Grey.”
“Yes, mom. I forgot to inform you that I would be coming home late. You shouldn’t wait for me or prepare dinner.” He informed her.
“Alright, I understand. Just stay safe, ok?” Grey nodded briefly.” Sure, I will talk to you later,” he finished and the line went off.
Grey got out of the car and entered the club. It was seething with people as usual. There were a lot more people than normal. He found a spot to be while he awaited Pablo like he did the other day.
It didn’t take up to ten minutes when he felt a tab on his shoulder. He looked up at a lady which was very much different from the one that took him the other day,
“Follow me,” she whispered and started walking away. Grey followed behind quickly, his eyes darted at his wristwatch. He had spent thirteen minutes out of the time he had allocated to Gregory.
They walked for three minutes before they came to their destination. Grey pulled out his
phone and stretched it out as usual before he moved into the room. Pablo was sitting and probably waiting for him. The mask was still on his face as if he wouldn’t remove it forever.
“Grey,” his voice sounded familiar for a second. “Welcome, I’ve been expecting you,” there was excitement in his voice.
Grey took a short bow.” I’ve been waiting for days for today. I thought you wouldn’t want to see me again,” he was sincere. There was silence at the other end and Grey couldn’t guess his expression. He sat well and used the opportunity to dart at his wristwatch. He has three minutes left. “Am I seeing the man behind the mask today?” Grey inquired. Pablo laughed. “You will, soon. I will send Alex to you when the time is right. “Alex told me what you want and I’ve thought about it. And I’ve decided to give you a chance in this business world,” he revealed.
