Chapter 26 - Chapter 26; The other half of the combination

Lucas smiled dangerously and said

" Oh the blue moon have finally changed strategies. Let's see what more can offer "

As if recalling something, he said

" And oh, Mathew, your pay has been doubled "

Mathew was astonished at the sudden increase and was about to ask but Lucas rather said to himself

" You did a good job today. Finding me the best forensic artist. Hah, who would have thought that she was a forensic artist. Haha, it must be fate. "

Then he turned to Mathew and continued

" I want to know everything about my future wife "

" On it sir "

Mathew said. He was really astonished and terrified by his words. It seems the lady held a place in his masters heart. Talking of his salary, it wasnt any small amount. His monthly pay was enough for him for years and doubling his salary was more than enough. But just like how he easily raised his salary without battling an eye, he knew he could also deprive him of his salary if he made any mistake. Lucas added wickedly

" As for the blue moon organization.... "

He intentionally didn't finish his statement and simply closed his eyes. But Mathew clearly knew the implications of his words.

............

" Mr. Deville, this is all we can do. Thier forces are powerful"

Xavier gave the other person a glare as he skimmed through the report. But he relaxed and said

" Mmmh, this is enough. It must be a lesson to him not to mess with my sister anymore "

The only thing Xavier knew was Lucas had taken Ruby's virginity. And he was only trying to punish him for that. He never knew his little action could cause a ruckus in the mafia world. After all how in his wildest dream would he have thought that the Calvetti's reckless youngest heir was Don. Besides... even if he knew, it wouldn't have deter him from getting justice for Ruby.

............

Bims basement;

" Where is the combination "

Ruby's chilling and intimidating voice echoed in the basement. Gone was the sweet innocent girl. The lady in here had a pink girlish mask on her face, black trousers and black jacket with a black T-shirt. Her eyes was filled with murderous intent as she stared at the man tied in the the chair and covered in blood. She was no more Ruby, but Trisha. There was no sympathy in her eyes and every minute the man continued to be tongue-tied, her killing intent grew higher. The man answered with extreme difficultly

" Please Trisha,.....spare my life. I, I I... "

Ruby growled in anger having no patient to listen to his nonsense

" THE COMBINATION "

The man continued

" I don't know what you are talking about "

Ruby smirked slowly and added indifferently

" Wrong answer "

Then without warning, she shot the man's leg. A painful scream resounded in the building and the man watched in horror as blood flowed through the wound. The pain was so overbearing that he begun screaming again in pain.

Ruby stared at him and asked

" Are you willing to speak now "

The man only shook his head and repeated

" I r... really don't know.....wh....what...."

Before he could finish Ruby leisurely interrupted

" Wrong answer. But you know what, you ate making this game more interesting. Let's skip the shooting part and do this "

She went to a corner and came back with a black surgical scapel in her hands. She smiled at him wickedly and said

" I hope you love this. Tell me where the combination is or have your finger nails removed with this "

She showed him the scapel with excitement. Slowly and deliberately she walked closer to the man. The man understood the true meaning of fear that day. He didn't know how he would keep up with this before breaking down. Trisha had done all sort of cruel things to him. She had written her name and title on the man's hand with a sharp knife, now this. He hadn't recovered from the injury yet and what he wished for right now was death. As he was lost in his thoughts, Trisha asked with a smirk

" So what is your choice babe "

The man said

" Trisha, let's talk a... "

Again Trisha interrupted with a lazy yawn and said

" Wrong answer again. You are making this game boring. Remember the only answer I want to hear is the correct location of the combination. Let's see how long you can keep it up "

She brought tge scapel closer to his hands and to the man's utter surprise, she ruthlessly used the scapel to remove the nail on his thumb finger. The nail fell on the ground and the man's hand was trembling in pain as blood begun pouring out of his thumb finger. His scream filled the basement.

He became outraged and begun yelling

" You monster, you are inhumane. "

Trisha said with a devillish smile

" Trust me, I've heard worst comment about myself "

The pain became so excruciating that the man passed out but few seconds after, Trisha poured 2 buckets if water on him making him wake up. By the time his second nail was removed, he couldn't stand it anymore and spilled out the beans

" I w..... will...ta....talk. ..cough....cough "

Trisha smiled and said innocently

" If you had said so earlier, it would have saved both of us from this trouble. But before you tell me the location, you better think of your wife and kids,you lie, they die and join you. And also don't forgot the answer I want "

The man froze at her words. Trisha was more terrifying than he thought. It also seemed that she had seen right through him. He changed his plan and confessed

" The combination was with me earlier but then Mr Johnson came for it and gave the other half to Don. "

Trisha didn't doubt him. She had been trained and knew it when someone was telling the truth or not. She only sighed and said

" Too much for all this trouble only for it to be with Don "

Then she turned to the man and said shamelessly

" Thanks for your cooperation by the way. If you don't mind, I will be on my way "

With that she left. The man on the other hand didn't survive long from all the torture and died on the spot.

.......

" That cunning kid got us there. But if the other half of the combination is with him,then you have to go for it from him. Without the other half, everything is useless and a waste of time "

Louis Deville said in frustration. He couldn't believe that they had been fooled by Don and only have half of the combination. Ruby on the other hand coughed slightly and said

" Well excuse me Dad, count me out of that mission. I'm already a big enemy of that guy, I don't plan on bitting more than I could chew."

Loius took in a deep breath to calm his anger, Ruby seemed to be getting more and more bold these days. He added

" Would you rather you kill him "

Ruby suddenly bursted into laughter and said

" You might as well say ' Ruby your next mission is to sleep in a lions den' haha .Why don't you give that mission to first brother Xavier, we can say they are somehow on par "

Louis gave her a " Is your brain working look" and said

" Xavier is currently on an E-ranked class mission. If you've forgotten "

Ruby lowered her face and said with accusation in her tone

" Why are you giving me that wierd face. Is it really that serious if you forgets your brothers mission. OK what of Kaylee, she is definitely available "

this time, Louis didn't talk and only stared at her. Under one of his wierd gazes again, Ruby remembered that Kaylee was also on an undercover ' U-ranked class mission."

" Damn," she cursed under her breath. How could she forget this one too. Thinking, hard,she couldn't find anyone capable for this mission as most of them were on other mission including Jasper. She sighed in defeat and said

" Ok I would think of a way to get those combination back but just in case, since they have the other half then they must be trying to retrieve ours."

Louis said in determination

" No need to worry. I am going to guard that combination with great care. Those combinations are the codes to power "
