Chapter 28



'Diego my friend, let's still give time and see if he will get the witness" Fredrick suggested to Diego.


But Diego wasn't interested in the suggestions because wanted to be the one in charge of the search instead of Ronaldo.


'Fredrick, did you say time? But you and I know there is no time for this, we need to get this witness out of the way once and for all so that we can be at peace" Diego said to Fredrick trying very hard to convince him that they need to get the witness out of the way.


'I know time is not really on our side but, I can't do anything for now, let's still wait a little for Ronaldo to get back to me" Fredrick said to Diego calmly.


'Well if you say so, but I am not still convinced that Ronaldo can do this alone, because he already said it's stressful for him, but if they are two it's might be faster, we can just get someone else to join him Ronaldo to make it less stressful for him" Diego suggested to Fredrick.


'Okay, so do you have anybody who can do the job for us?" Fredrick asked Diego.

'Yes of course I do, I would get a very capable person for the job and you can be rest assured that it's under my control and you don't need to bother yourself" Diego said to Fredrick.


'I trust you my dear friend and I know that you will handle this well, so I will call Ronaldo later to tell him about the change of plans" Fredrick replied Diego accepting his. Offer to get someone to join Ronaldo in the search.


Diego wasn't happy with the fact that Fredrick was going to tell Ronaldo about the person he would hire, because he didn't want Ronaldo to know about the plan.


'Why don't we Leave Ronaldo out of this? It's not compulsory he knows about the other person, he can do his own searching while the other person does his own, I don't think that's a bad idea because at the end of the day one of them will eventually find the witness, which is the main reason we are hiring them. Diego said to Fredrick in a convincing way.


'That's not a bad idea, but I suggest they work together, because when they work together it will be easier and even faster, so I don't know why you want them to do the work separately," Fredrick said to Diego.


'My friend, you know I won't suggest that if it was not a good idea, so my point here is that we should hire someone privately who can do the job well, I know Ronaldo is your brother but, I think I know him better, because the Ronaldo I know won't search for this witness, like I said earlier Ronaldo doesn't like to do bass things he likes helping people and he might as well find the witness and keep her in hiding, so that why am suggesting we do our search on a low key and leave Ronaldo to al do his own" Diego explained his reasons to Fredrick.


'Okay, it's not a bad idea, Diego my good friend, you are so smart, thank you for your suggestions but there will be no need for that now because I know Ronaldo can handle this so you don't need to worry," Fredrick said to Diego, turning his suggestion down.


Diego immediately noticed the look on Fredrick's face wasn't nice at all and thought Fredrick might have found out about his true intentions. So he quickly took his suggestions to himself.


'So my suggestions are not valid?" Diego asked Fredrick in a devastating way.


'I didn't say so, I only said there won't be any need for that" Fredrick replied to Diego questions.


'Okay, so I will just keep my suggestions to myself," Diego said to Fredrick.


'That would be better for both of us," Fredrick said to Diego.


Diego was so angry at the fact Fredrick turned down his suggestion, but didn't want it to look so obvious that he was angry, so he pretended to fake a smile at Fredrick.


'As you wish for Fredrick, I think I am done with what brought me here, so I will get going now, thanks for your time my dear friend" Diego said to Fredrick with a fake smile on his face as he stands up from his seat and attempts to leave.


'Okay my dear friend, thanks for coming, I really appreciate it," Fredrick said to Diego as he walked him to the gate.


Diego wasn't really bothered that Fredrick turned his suggestions down, because he knew that he had secret plans on hiring someone to find the witness without making Fredrick and Ronaldo aware of his plan. Diego got home and wondered what he could do to get Fredrick convinced and take his advice.


Diego then decides to call Ronaldo to know how is doing and if he is truly searching for the witness as instructed by Fredrick. He picked his phone and dials Ronaldo m's number, and unfortunately for him Ronaldo's number he number wasn't reachable, so he ended the call and tried redialing Ronaldo's number but it's still wasn't reachable, so he then decided to send Ronaldo a text message since his number Wasn't reachable.


Few days later, Fredrick summoned his friend Diego to his place to have a little talk with him concerning the search for the witness, and Diego accepted the invitation offered to him by his friend Fredrick, so he went to his friend's house.


'Diego my good friend it's so, how have you been?" Fredrick asked Diego as they exchanged pleasantries.


'Am fine, thanks for asking," Diego replied, Fredrick smiling.


'Diego I have invited you here today to concerning the search for the witness, because I don't understand Ronaldo anymore, he hasn't called to update me on the search, and I have been trying to reach him and his line sometimes is not reachable and when it's even reachable he always have the same story to say, that it's easy and he will let us know once he gets the witness, but I don't believe him anymore because it's almost like he's not doing anything. And when I even asked him that how long should we keep waiting for him to find the witness he (Ronaldo) said we are going to wait for a long while because the search is not easy at all, which I don't think is true because he's a mafia and nothings can possibly be too hard for him to do'' Fredrick said to Diego trying to express himself about the search for the witness to him.


'Fredrick my friend, I was here a few days ago to share my opinion with you concerning the search for the witness, and I even came up with a very good suggestion, but you turned it down for no good reason. Anyways I am happy you have realized that what I said was actually the truth, so now that you believe what do you think we should do?" Diego asked Fredrick in a concerned way.

'I turned your suggestion down, because Ronaldo gave me assurance and that made me trust him, and didn't really want to bother him (Ronaldo) with a partner so that he will concentrate well on the search.


'That's why I suggested we don't let him know about our plans and hire someone to do it privately without letting Ronaldo know," Diego said to Fredrick.


'Like I said before, I didn't want to to hire anyone to do the search expect Ronaldo because he (Ronaldo) assured me that he would get the witness earlier than we even expected, but as it is I don't think Ronaldo is doing anything that why I invited you over" Fredrick said to Diego still trying to explain to him why he turned down his suggestions to hire someone else.


'I understand you and I am also glad you realized earlier, because I know that searching for the witness won't be something too hard for Ronaldo but he (Ronaldo) is just hiding the witness because he can't possibly kill her, I even tried reaching him (Ronaldo) earlier this week, and he told me that we should just forget about the search and let the witness be that the witness might have gone far and we can't find her even if we tried , I was even planning on letting you know before I got a message from you telling me to come to place" Diego said to Fredrick explaining what Ronaldo told him concerning the search.


'He really said that? That explains the fact that he isn't even looking for the witness and he's not doing as I instructed by me, Ronaldo is a mafia but he doesn't act like one, A mafia doesn't behave the way he does, I gave him simple instruction to get the witness's head for me and he can't even do that simple task, asides that he keeps telling me lies when he knows that the task was too hard for him he could have told me earlier on that the task was too difficult for him to do and I would have assigned it to someone else, but no he insisted on telling me lies" Fredrick said to Diego in a very angry tone.


'Fredrick calmed down, maybe at first Ronaldo thought he could handle it, and later realized that he can't, so just let him be, the issue now is searching for the witness as soon as possible" Diego said to Fredrick trying to calm him down.


'Yes, we have to get someone who can handle this task appropriately, and won't deceive us like Ronaldo is doing. So the last time you came here you said you have someone who can handle this task appropriately, is the person still available? Fredrick asked Diego in a curious way.


'Yes the person is still very much available, I will call him now to come here so that you can talk to him about what he's supposed to do" Diego said to Fredrick.


'There will be no need to invite him over here, I trust you when it comes to tasks like this, you can handle it well so all you need to do is to tell whoever is going to search for the witness to be focused and sincere, because I can't afford anyone telling me more lies. You can just call him and tell whoever is going to search for what to do, what I want is the witness's head as soon as possible" Fredrick instructed Diego.


'As you wish Fredrick, I will get going now Fredrick" Diego said to Fredrick as he left.
