Chapter 13 - 13: Catch Her Alive

At Skull Gang Main Headquarter....

James Arison was reading the doc.u.ment file containing all the information they got about CatsEye but nothing was significant. He is the eldest son of Jorge Arison and now the new head of Skull Gang.

The dropping and sound of shattering glass could be heard inside the office. James had thrown the glass due to his anger. "Is this all that you got? You are all useless!" Five men were standing silently in front of him, bowing their heads. They did not dare to look at him in his eyes.

"Sorry Boss. These are all the information about CatsEye. We even used our connection to the police and authority that is handling his case." one of the men answered.

"No identity, no appearance, only lists of victims were indicated here and the causes of their death, list of weapons used and a card that signifies it was his doings. How can we track that bastard down through this information? James was giving them a sharp glare when someone knocked at the door.

"Boss ,an assassin name Black Shadow is here. He said he wants to talk to you."

"Let him in." A 6 foot man entered the room. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a leather jacket paired with a blue jeans pants. He was wearing a black cap.

As soon as he saw James, a mischievous smile flashed in his face. "I have a solution about your problem.Do you want to hear my proposal?"

James stared at him coldly, "Talk, don't waste my time!"

"If you want to lure a tiger to leave his cave, as a hunter you should give him a bait. Assign someone who will make a deal with CatsEye and pretend that he wanted to kill you. You will serve as a bait. I will gladly help you to catch him. I know how to contact someone who will relay a mission with him. What do you think?" Black shadow presented his plan.

James stayed silent for a while contemplating about what Black Shadow just said. "What do you want in exchange of your brilliant plan of yours? How sure are you that they will take the bait?"

Black Shadow made a soft chuckle "CatsEye really enjoy killing people. He would not suspect anyone since he is so confident to himself that he can do anything and no one could stop him when it comes to killing, a perfect killing machine, not afraid of anyone. But this bravery and confidence can also be his weakness that will lead him to us."

"Why do you want to help me in eliminating that bastard?" James raised his brow.

"Just simple reason, first CatsEye is my biggest competitor. I want to prove that I am the most skilled assassin by catching him and revealing his true identity. Second, I want money and I guess you are willing to pay any amount just to catch that assassin who killed your father." Black Shadow explained his reason.

Anger and hatred appeared on James' face upon hearing his father's death. "Okay.... I agree with your plan. Catch that bastard alive, I want to know who is the mastermind behind my father's death and I want him to experience my wrath and he will regret what he had done to my father from the rest of his life."

Black Shadow smiled "It's a deal. Consider it done."

Charles was lying on the couch inside the living room and talking on the phone when Elle arrived.

Elle frown immediately when she saw Charles "What are you doing here? Who gave you the permission to stay here at my house?"

Charles looked at her and he put his finger on his mouth telling her to keep silent. Elle raised her brow and she complied with Charles' request to be quiet. She sat down in another chair in front of Charles.

"Who is the target this time?", Charles said

The man in the phone said "James Arison, the new head of Skull Gang?"

Charles frown when he heard it. 'What they want us to kill another head of Skull Gang. It was only 3 days had passed when they killed Arison. What's happening in the world, they always targeting a member of Arison Family' he thought to himself. He glanced to Elle and he said to the man "How much can you pay us? And may I know who are you?"

"Sorry I don't want to reveal my identity. I hope you could understand for safety purposes. I can give you any amount, as long as you kill him within two days."the man replied.

"I will discuss it first to CatsEye. I will call you back." Charles hung up the phone.

"Another client? Who is the lucky person this time?" Elle asked him.

"Another Skull Gang Leader. James Arison, the eldest son of Jorge Arison." Charles sighed.

Elle frown "What did he say?"

"He wanted him killed within two days and he is willing to pay any amount. He also didn't reveal his identity." He said as he was now in deep thought.

"He's smart. Ok accept it. Tell them we want a billion. Half should be deposited as down payment." Elle stood up and she was about to leave.

"Wait...It doesn't feel right. Are you going to accept it just like that? You have just killed his father. Are you not puzzled about this? I am sure it was not Dark Knight this time. Who could be our client and what is his motive? It is a little suspicious right?" Charles complained.

"What's there to worry about? I don't care about his motive and I am not interested with his identity. The important things for me are money and killing. That's all." Elle left him speechless. "'She is really stubborn. She never listen to me. Hmmp Who cares." Charles mumbled to himself.

Charles contacted their clients in order to accept the mission and close the deal. "This mission worth one billion. Half should be deposited as down payment and the other half should be deposited an hour after the mission is completed. CatsEye will do this within two days as you requested. Is it deal or no deal?"

"Okay, copy and noted. Wait for the money. And by the way, two days from now, James Arison will be having a transaction with one of the Mafia organizations. This will be a perfect opportunity to kill him. I want CatsEye to sabotage the negotiation." the man informed Charles.

"Okay. I will relay that information to CatsEye." After hanging up the phone, Charles shook his head. He didn't know why but something is really bothering him about this. His guts feeling was telling him that something bad is gonna happen. Or maybe, he was just overthinking.
