An hour goes by until we hear a knock on the door.Thorsten strolls inside along with Falcon and Elric.
“Gideon,” Thorsten rumbles.
Gideon smiles.“The one and only.”
Lu snorts and Elric chuckles while Thorsten glares.
“I hear you want to make a deal,” my prez states.
Gideon nods.“For both me and Derek.”
“We have two options and I don’t give a fuck which option you decide to take,” Thorsten tells him.“The first option is death.Easy and clean, my personal favorite.”
“The second option?”Gideon grits.
Thorsten shrugs.“You spill your guts.And by this I sadly mean information, not your actual guts.You and Derek become material witnesses and we will make sure you two disappear once everything is done.”
Gideon reaches for something inside his jacket.All weapons are now aimed at his head.
“Calm down,” Gideon grits.“I was reaching for my phone.”
“That might have been a good thing to say before you move, asshole,” I snap.
Gideon nods and slowly opens his jacket to carefully take out his phone and hands it to Thorsten.“You can see the message Bosco sent, ordering me to kill Luella.I only have to shoot him a reply that it’s done.”
Thorsten glances through the messages and turns to me.“I guess the fucker is taking the second option.”
“I guess so.”I give my president a hint of a smile.
The sharp turn of events feels weird and unsatisfying.Though, it does lead to the same conclusion; we’re one step closer to fully getting the target off Lu’s back and ending things once and for all.
