Chapter 359 - 359: Special Mission

Erick came out of the interrogation room. He approached the jail guards and informed them that he was done talking to the prisoners. He also thanked them for accommodating him today. 

After personally visiting the Unit Head who was managing the Detention Facility, Erick left the place.

Carlo Vello and Diego De Dios still had the audacity to feign innocence and deny the crimes they committed. No sign of regrets at all. No conscience! 

Erick couldn't stand to see their smug smile. He wanted to break those faces. Fortunately, he was able to endure it and he succeeded in controlling his rage inside him.

However, he was slowly losing his patience. Facing them for long while they're becoming stubborn who refused to talk, Erick had no choice but to end this conversation as quickly as he could. He was afraid that he could no longer bear it.

That's the main reason he resorted to threatening them using Catseye. The truth was Erick also didn't know whether Carlo and Diego would still be targeted by this new Catseye or not.

He was eager to know and get some answers from them. 

What happened in the past? Who ordered them to kill Elle's family? Who is backing them? Where's Alfonso Ramirez? What are the things they know about him?

These were just some of the many questions he wanted to ask them once they were already willing to talk and cooperate with him.

Seeing their expressions before he left, Erick knew that his strategy was effective. He saw them waver from the dears of being targeted by Catseye.

He was certain that the two of them were now considering to ensure their safety in exchange for the information they would give him.

To pressure them more, Erick gave them three days to think it over while threatening them about what Catseye might do within that week. 

This now became a psychological battle. The days of uncertainty would make them feel more anxious and restless. 

Once they felt that, they might finally give in with the pressure and would immediately seek his presence to ask his help for total protection against Catseye's attack. 

It was a good plan and a nice strategy. He would just wait for the positive result. However, Erick had miscalculated something- Alfonso Ramirez's influence and intervention.

An hour after Erick visited De Dios and Vello, Alfonso Ramirez also came to visit them. Just like Erick, he had come to ask them a few questions which were bothering him since Catseye's reappearance.

Carlo and Diego were surprised to see him. It had been so long since the last time they saw each other. They knew him. Alfonso won't show himself personally to them unless it was a very serious and important matter.

Even though their gang disbanded a long time ago, the bond and brotherhood among them still remained.

"My old friend, it's nice to see you again." Carlo greeted him cheerfully.

"To whom do we owe this sudden surprising visit, our dear friend? Did you come to get us out here?" Diego said blatantly to him.

They both knew that Alfonso Ramirez held so much influence and power now compared to before. He might be the answer to their dilemma right now.

"I have questions that need some answers from both of you, my dear brothers," Alfonso told them with his serious expression.

"Then ask. We will try to answer you as we can." Carlo promptly said in an attempt to curry favor with him.

Carlo made a mental note to seek help and protection from Alfonso after they answered all his questions. They were afraid of the impending threat of Catseye for their lives.

Alfonso: "Catseye was the one responsible for putting you in jail, right?" 

Carlo: "Yes, Catseye did!"

Alfonso: "What the main reason for doing that to both of you?"

Diego: "Catseye talked about collecting debts. The people who kidnapped us had mentioned about the Falcon Family Massacre."

Alfonso's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing that.

Carlo: "Those people knew about what we did in the past! They tortured us because of that."

Diego: "They wanted to know who gave us the order to kill Agent Falcon and his family. Catseye and her accomplice might be related to the Falcon Family. They did this to us for revenge."

Alfonso: "This is not good and quite alarming. There might be a traitor. No one knew what happened in the past except us and the people who helped us cover up the crime."

He paused for a moment, thinking. After a while, he continued.

Alfonso: "Roland died just a few days ago. We are the targets, the original members of Los Molasses Gang. Jefferson, Roland, and Harry, they are all dead now. You two are now imprisoned here. Tyler, Sy, and I are the ones who will likely be targeted next."

"This new Catseye also left a message for me. He or she killed one of my men as a warning."

They felt a rush of panic when they heard that.

Carlo: "My friend, give us protection here. What if Catseye will also come after us? Please… help us."

Alfonso: "Alright. Don't worry. I will use my power and send people here who would keep you safe."

Diego: "Thanks. We know we can always count on you. You are now big time!"

Carlo: "By the way, before I forget, Aside from Catseye, Alfonso, you have to be wary of a certain detective. He just came here an hour before you. He asked us about you."

Diego: "That's true. The most surprising thing was he also knew what happened eighteen years ago. He knew our involvement in Falcon's Family Massacre!"

Alfonso's face darkened. Their crime should not be revealed. They buried it already 18 years ago. But now, someone learned about it and now he was trying to do some digging. He must do something before it's too late.

"Don't worry. Just leave it to me. I know what to do." Alfonso said, reassuring them.

Alfonso got the answers he wanted. So he didn't stay long in that Detention Center. The moment he got out and reached his car, he immediately called someone.

After a few rings, the call got connected.

Alfonso: "Hello! My dear Azumi Twins."

Kevin: "Senior Alfonso, why did you call me?"

Alfonso: "Oh, it's you, Kevin. I thought Kelsy was there. Anyway, I have a special mission for you. Are you in?"
