Felix sighed heavily.“Even if I am not.You know Sergi as well as I do.You cannot tell that man a damn thing.But I think he’ll get a good answer to whatever question he has.”
Viktor crossed his arms over his chest.“And just who do you think he’s calling?”
Felix shook his head.“A dangerous man but he’s also an honorable man.”
Viktor scoffed.“Is there such a man?Both dangerous and honorable?I’ve met both kinds of men in this life but it would be rare to find one man that is both.”
Felix nodded.“Well Viktor, one could say that you are under that same description, correct?”
Viktor shook his head even though he made no denial.
Kosta snorted.
Serenity and Nicky looked at each other and smirked.
The phone call...
Sergi headed down the hall and stepped into a conference room.Then he walked over to the control panel normally hidden until they needed it to tape an interrogation.He switched off recording and audio.Then he sat down at the table.His men may have heard rumors and stories about killers such as this Killian but he knew someone that might know if such stories were real or just exaggerations.
He reached for his cell and opened his contacts then he slowly scrolled through the mountain of names he had saved in his phone.He found the one he wanted and his hand remained steady as he pressed the call button.
After the third ring, the call was answered.The voice on the other end spoke in a calm relaxed tone, “Hello, Mr.Constantine.”
Sergi sighed hard and exhaled slowly.“I find myself in a dilemma right now and I need to pick your brain for the type of man I just recently found out is associated with someone we just took down.I know that’s complicated but the whole situation we’re in is complicated right now.”
The man on the other end chuckled.“Well, that’s as clear as mud.”
“Blin, it is but as you are aware, one capture leads to another and often the dark pit gets deeper before you even know it.”
“Suppose you just tell me what you feel comfortable with telling me.”
Sergi sat up straighter and replied, “Da I know we don’t know each other all that well but we have a common friend and I find that friend’s opinion means a great deal to me.He’s told me on several occasions that he trusts you and your people and I think I could use a fresh opinion on this matter.”
The voice on the other end of the call went silent then he said, “What can I help you with?”
Sergi went on to explain their situation and the players.The bioweapon and the woman who caused it all.“We’ve come to understand there’s a new player but we don’t know anything about him and I thought you might know something.”
The other man was silent, then he asked.“Can you give me a name?”
Sergi sighed hard.“All we know is the name Killian.”He paused as silence fell again.
“Killian?Are you sure it’s Aaron Killian?”
“I am not sure about the Aaron part.All we have so far is the Killian part,” Sergi admitted.“Do you know of him?”
“Yeah and what I know doesn’t bode well for you.”
“Is that so?”Sergi asked.“What kind of man is this Killian?”
“He is as cold as the day is long.Unscrupulous as hell too.He signs his contracts in blood and he doesn’t consider them fulfilled until his mark is dead.If he misses once he’ll track the contact through hell if necessary and even if you change your mind he won’t stop until the mark is dead or he is.He’s not shy about how he kills and if you happen to cross him or double-cross him, he won’t stop until he wipes out, not only you but members of your family as well.He’s ruthless because he thinks no one knows where he lives and that’s the only thing that protects him.”
Sergi crossed his arms over his chest.“Why do I have a feeling you know so much more than you are telling me?”
The other man was silent for a moment then he chuckled.“You are very good at reading even words spoken over a phone.Impressive.”
“Da, in what I do I can read things quickly, something I learned to do very well over the years.Now tell me what else do you know about this Killian?”
“I know a few of Killian’s secrets.And if you’ll allow it, I can help you beat him.”
