“Ouuuch..”.
The big man who had just given his report to Harry Portland complained in pain as his head spurted fresh blood after being thrown by Harry's glass, Harry, who is agitated because the killers of his three friends, have not been found lost control when his men did not bring the reports he wanted.
“What's your job, looking for a rat can't hah!” hardik Harry was full of emotion.
“I'm sorry Mr.”
“Free I pay you with high wages.” Harry continued with his words in a high tone.
“It looks like we have to change strategy,” Daniel said. “We should lure him out instead of looking for his whereabouts.”
“Luring it out, yes?”
Daniel nodded quickly. “Yes, we only need to install a fitting bait to make our quarry out of its hiding place.”
“Installing the right bait,” murmured Harry softly while thinking hard.
“You're right!!” suddenly Harry shouted loudly while pounding the table with both hands excitedly. “And you are a suitable bait for that.”
“WHAT?!”
Harry grinned widely, he did not care at all about Daniel's cry protesting his plans. After days of fear he was finally able to breathe freely again, his desire to make a reckoning with the killer who had lost the lives of his three friends flared up even more.
Without caring about the protests that Daniel did Harry then devised a new plan with his other men by making Daniel as bait.
“Good Sir, we will arrange everything neatly soon.”
Harry smiled broadly. “Good, now you go from before me and do all our plans well without any mistake.”
“Good sir,” answered six large-bodied men who stood beside Daniel simultaneously before finally leaving the workspace Harry left Daniel who still continued to object to the plan that Harry had just made.
“Harry,” sigh restless Daniel. “Why should I, don't you still have other men?”
“My other men are not known by that killer.”
“So you think that the man who killed Felix and the others had something to do with the girl on the dock, j-so it's true that the mother of the girl has hired a hit man to sue us?” ask Daniel repeatedly without pause.
Harry's expression turned dark, as did his eyes. The sentence that Daniel had just spoken made the happiness that had filled his chest a lot in an instant change with anxiety so great it felt until this moment he still had not managed to find the existence of the mother of the girl he raped a few months ago on the edge of town.
"Don't think strangely, right now our goal is to lure the killer out so that we can retaliate for the deaths of Felix and the others. All you have to do is prepare yourself as best you can so that there are no mistakes" Harry replied in a slightly trembling voice. "Go back to your room and pack your things, tonight you go to the last place Felix visited."
"So fast?" daniel asked with a panicked face.
"Yes!"
"Is there no other way?"
"If you don't want to die sooner like Felix, Johan and Samuel then do my orders immediately" Harry said hoarsely as he pointed a gun at Daniel's forehead. "You have thirty minutes to pack."
Getting an unexpected threat from Harry makes Daniel rush away from Harry's presence to immediately go to the place they have chosen to be a trapping area.
Prank …
Harry again threw an empty glass at the door shortly after Daniel stepped out of his study.
"I really need to find the old lady" Harry said with a flushed face holding back the emotion that had filled his head.
In a hurry, Harry immediately pulled his phone out of his pocket and immediately contacted one of the most popular private detectives in Seattle about his prowess, although Harry did not really like the arrogant man, but today he had no other choice.
"Wo wo wo.. look at this, who just called me." The man named Rudolf who works as a detective was immediately accompanied by wide eyes so directly with Harry through a video call connection.
Harry stiffened his jaw. "I don't have time to serve your madness Rudolf, so listen carefully to my words. I'm gonna pay you a lot for a little job you used to do."
"The name of that damn woman is Alen and other information I don't know."
"What!!" screeched Rudolf in a voice rising two octaves. "You think in Seattle there's a million women named Alen, you think I'm a psychic who can …"
"Two million dollars!" Harry cut Rudolf's words by mentioning the nominal he would give each private as payment for his work. "Cash by the time you managed to bring the old woman before me in less than 48 hours."
"You're crazy!!"
"Yes, I'm, '" Harry answered quickly. "That's why I called you. Why, is this task too hard to do for a great detective like Rudolf Morgan who's famous all over Seattle?"
Checkmate.
Harry's sarcastic reply left Rudolf's mind torn apart, the man feeling challenged by the task just given by the son of the Seattle city's largest casino owner. Very unyielding to him being humbled like this.
"Alright, I accept your assignment but before that tell me where I can find this woman named Alen. You certainly can't possibly want me to bring all the women named Alen who live in this town to your face, can you?"
Having no other choice, she finally gave a photo of Alen from the police station when the old woman reported the unnatural death of her daughter a few months ago, harry could have given Rudolf additional information about who Alen was and why he wanted her but he did not because he was worried that the private detective would use the information to blackmail him recalling Rudolf's so famous cunning.
"Hmm, around the southern pier, yes," Rudolf muttered in a barely audible voice.
"Remember Rudolf, please, you only have 48 hours to go through and you won't get a penny from me so work fast I'm sure a very famous Rudolf Morgan can't possibly fail this task," harry is back.
"Before the deadline that you give is up I will definitely bring this old woman forward so you better sit down sweetly and prepare the payment I remember the cash that just came out of the bank without there was less than a single sheet," Rudolf replied confidently.
"I won't let you down Rudolf, you take it easy."
After hearing the day to say his promise for the second time, Rudolf cut off his phone and began to move to search for a woman named Alen whose picture is now in his hands, although the photo was taken from the police station CCTV but for Rudolf the photo was enough to be used because in the photo the face of Mrs Alen and her posture looks very clear and for people like Rudolf all of those clues can already be used to conduct a search.
"The fucking killer must've been caught this time."
Eight hours later.
"Daniel showed up at the bar where Felix was last seen?" Xander repeated the words of Antonio who was currently connected to him via a phone call.
"Yes, that man is even currently sitting quietly with the women right in front of me."
"Damn it, stop showing off your wild life!" fierce Xander pissed.
Antonio laughed heartily at the words of his best friend who was cursing his lifestyle.
"Share your location, I'm sure Felix's killers Johan and Samuel will reappear at that place."
"Why are you so sure that the killer will show up again in this place?" ask Antonio quickly.
"I was just wondering, if that murderer actually showed up at Daniel's place tonight then it looks like your guess is right."
"So the next target is really Harry Portland?!"
"Take care of what you say, Antonio" hardik Xander sniffed. "Send me your location immediately!!"
"Oh, I'll …. Tutt.."
The lazy Xander speaks insignificantly to Antonio choosing to disconnect his phone instead of listening to Antonio's words until it's over.
Trings …
The message containing the location of the bar where Antonio saw Daniel was finally entered into Xander's cell phone, once connected to the GPS installed in his car Xander immediately drove his car to the address just sent by Antonio. Somehow Xander is convinced that the killer who lost the lives of Harry's three friends will appear again tonight and Xander intends to capture him alive.
