CHAAPTER 51
federic von leich was in his fashion company when the doo to his office flung open and a man wering a black suit walks in with his eyes dead cold like the north poles, but federic did not flinch, he did not raise up his head to see who it was. the reaction had quickly sent a message to rico who stood from a distancewithout moving until federic raised up his head, how are you my dear boy he said, you seem to be doing well this days .
sit please, but rico stands and watches federic for a minute before he sits down he doesnt know the man too well so he had tried his intimidation tactic and would soon apply the ret ,sice the first one had failded woefully he decided to act in accordance to his host.
what do you want to drnk , i have a collecttion right here, i would like you to make a pick he said to rico , who moved his chair backwards so he could scan the small office fridge, i told sofia to lend you to me because i have a job that required your skills and i want you to check those files in front of you nad see if you know what i am i want you to do.
rico carries the files placed in front of him and them he stares in shock for a minute before he nods slowly, comfirming he understood the assignment,
you can be useful to me and i can be useful to you rico , but first you must push your childishness to one side and be the man i know you are, if you dont do this you know you are going to die and i mean every word i say, and you know very well who wants your head, federic said with his head corked to the side and a glass of whisky stretched twards the young man who accepts and stares at the ice in his drink before taking a big sip.
he understood the old man, and he saw with ease he did not need to test federic, he was considering the option in his had nw who would be a better ally to him between federic and sofia.
he knew her secrets because damian king had asked him to and he did not know anything about federic except stories of his ruthlessness, federics persona had been appealing since the momment he met the man, and as they both drank glass a fter glaas the two men bonded as rico had began to tell federic things which federic did not know about damian king.
the old man smiled and watched the young man and pitied him, he knew the end for rio was the grave and since sofia had spare him his sufferings would continue, he was right to pick rico for this job, a man who would soon die,would not have emphaty for those who were prepared to hang him except a fool.
rico had stopped drinking now an as he staggered out of the old mans office a smile crossed his face as he tried to hide the factthat he was drunk , he tried to steady his steps until he got to his car, he dropped the file the old man had given him by his side and then he checked his phone as his driver picked up speed.
he made a call damian and said "it is done boss."
and immediately he slept off, he had a smile on his face.
rico had woken up and found himselfin his appartment he knew who had carried him up and he was evergrateful to his driver, who seemed to enjoy the liberty to always carry him to his room whenever he passed out, it was oodn and his head was banging, he wondered how the old man decided to drink at that particular time of the day.
he wondered if the don had slept like he had or his alcohol tolerance level was undented as his street credibility.
he walked from his bed to the sitting room and the file was on hi table . hehad a look inside and e saw thier faces and the the little detail federic had collected and as he pened he came across a familiar face which made him pause for a minute.
why would federic cae about her, was this part why he had asked for his decretion?
damian would not allow this, he was conducting bussiness right now with the lady from dale corprsation and he killing her would cause more problems for him, he was more afraid of damian than he was of federic but yet he thought of it as a bad idea to tell his boss bout this,
he had made up his mind to kill the others first and when it got to queenie dale he would find a way out or wait until it was okay to kill her, that would serve his purpose, he called one of his trusted henchman to get him weapons which would not be traced to the organisation.
as they talked his door opened and he saw her walk in majestically and she sits down and a smile cross his face, she waits for him to finish before she speaks.
you should have called once you left federic , i was waiting for your call? she tells him.
but you are here now he replies, and beside i was drunk the whole day, she looks at hi with dismay, she could not fathom why he would drink himself out when he knew the kind of man federi was, anything could happen, he could slip up and tell federic whatever they had going on and as she thought about it more and more se
he felt a streak of fear relay a chain of thoughts that counted the possibilitiesof what had happened and whather response should be towards him.
i promise i did not say anything out of the ordinary, you can bank on that , the plan is still in motion
