Chapter 223: The Better Brother!
Chapter 223: The Better Brother!
I cut the tape and let the grinning bodyguards go, but before I did, I ripped them both down to my eye level.
"This isn't over, you may get away now because of this and that, but I will find you, and your boss."
I let them both straighten up and then reached out and grabbed the sand sword to let them go. Both of them took off the remaining tape, but both remained straight-faced and walked away. A car pulled around the corner and picked both of them up.
I whirled around to Branson, who already had his hands up.
"Hold your horses. Don't get all crazy with me until you hear what I have to say. Let's go inside."
I wanted to rip Branson a new asshole, but I held back and let the girls follow him in, while I glared at the black SUV that had just pulled up down the street. The thing had blacked-out windows, and no one got out, but they had turned the engine. I was about to go over and give them a piece of my mind, but Grace's voice stopped me.
"Come, wait until we know more."
"Fine, but if that car is there when I get back out here, I will be ripping doors off and kicking ass."
"Yes, dear. We all know you're mad, but getting all crazy now isn't going to help us. Come, let's go inside, and here is what the chief has to say."
I gave the SUV one last glare and then turned to go follow everyone back into the building. This was stupid, we just clearly let two thugs go without even processing them. Now, I knew what I was about to hear, and that made me even madder. This was going to be some song and dance about how this guy is the big boss of the cities underground and he could barely see us.
Bring it, this has now become personal. First, that old bag stole our suspect, and now, the damn cop that sent us on this mission makes us let some of the bad guys go. To top it all of it was guaranteed that this boss pervert was going to be coming after the girls, not me.
I Walked into the building and headed into Branson's office and the door closed behind me. Branson was sitting at his desk with his head in his hands, so I took a seat on his desk, but he didn't flinch. This was bothering him more than I had expected, so I waited for him to speak, but I didn't move.
"I never thought this would actually lead back to the city's mayor."
"What? The mayor is the one they are talking about?"
"Yes, those two bodyguards work for the mayor as Mrs. Petties bodyguards. You have stumbled into a shit storm that I have seemed to put you in. I don't really know what to say at this point, you know the song and dance for something like this. The man is untouchable."
"Why? Just because nobody wants to touch him? Just point me in the right direction and I will do the touching!"
"Yeah, if it was that easy I would have done it myself, but this guy is immortal."
"What? How can a N...a person be immortal? What makes him that way?"
"People have tried to kill him in the past using all types of weapons, but everything passes through him. He is easy to find, he never leaves his office on the top of tower five."
"What is tower five?" Latisha asked from behind me.
"The towers have no numbers, but it is the order you defeat them, meaning that you need to defeat all the towers, each of the bodyguards and members has made it through the towers. You want to try to kill the unkillable? Then you have to defeat those towers, but you don't have to, you can just leave this city and move onto the next one."
"Leave? Not an option, I have friends trapped inside those towers, and I kicked the hornet's nest, so I will be the one to fix the problem. Fine, four more towers? We got this, but I won't be playing by the rules anymore, if I see any of the bodyguards or black SUVs, I'll be making a mess and then cleaning it up. These people all made their choice to follow this man, and without them, he has no power."
"I can't stop you, no one here can, your group is in a whole other class, but just know that Hyde, wasn't able to kill him nor any of the other Leaders that have been this way."
"I am not my brother, we both have different ways of doing things. I will defeat the mayor, you can count on it, but when I do, I want that damn greasy Dry Cleaner run out of town and two put up in his place!"
"That's a strange request. But he is part of the Mayor's group so, If the mayor goes, he will foreshore be run out of town. Fine, if you can do it great, but I can't help you with this. You are all on your own from this point on," Branson finished trying to wave us out the door, but Sandra put the bag of vibrators on the desk and then glared at Branson.
Branson rolled his eyes, and then reached into a drawer in his desk and pulled out an envelope. The letter only said 'one of these' on the front of it, and I took it from him, but he stopped me as I tried to open it.
"Save it for later, when you're back at home. It's not weird, but it will be helpful for you all I think."
After that, we were shooed out of the building, but the black SUV was gone. That was fine, I had a direction now, and I knew what I had to do. I would take down this damn perverted mayor, even if it might just be to prove I was the better brother!
