• Carmichael relaxed in his Chair, He was wearing a fancy gray suit. He inhaled the smoke from his cigarette before releasing it. Jeff stood by the door,his heart pounding from the look on his boss's face. He swallowed a gulp when the look was finally fixated on him.
• "Are Philip and his men ready?" Carmichael inhaled his cigarette, his voice cold.
• "Yes sir." Jeff replied nodding repeatedly.
• "Tell Carlos to ready my car." He said, He got up from his chair and towards the table where his briefcase was kept. He opened the briefcase,bringing out folders. He had on a wicked smirk when he read the content of the file.
• "Are.... you coming.... with... us Sir?" Stuttered Jeff,rubbing his clammy plam on his trouser.
• Carmichael stopped in his track before slowing turning toward his assistant. "What do you mean us.? He asked sending Jeff a deathly glare.
• Jeff Swallowed his spit,his heart beating loudly. He kept quiet his head down.
• "You're to stay here and watch my stuffs, I don't trust the hotel staffs." He folded his hand. "One of the staffs might decide to come snooping around. And we don't want that now..do we?"
• "No Sir." Jeff replied.
• "Good." Carmichael smiled. "Daniel will be on security watch, so you,ve nothing to fear."
• Daniel is the boss personal Security, he watches what goes on in his computer, we normally called him the 'Tech Guru." Because he can hack through anything just to get what he wants and then build up a firewall to keep them from tracking him. Jeff was happy that his boss decided to leave him, But he could not help but to shivered in freight when he saw the smile on his boss face.
• "If you catch anyone, Tie him up until i get back." Carmichael said looking at the files one last time before putting it back into the briefcase. "Is that understood?" He asked his glare back as he faced his assistant.
• "Yes boss." Jeff yelled his back straight.
• " Now... Go and tell Carlos what i told you. We need to leave as soon as possible." Stated Carmichael before going back to his chair, His leg crossed as he lit another Cigarette.
• Jeff gave a slight bow and turned to the door, closing it softly behind him. He rest behind the door with a deep sigh,breathing slowly before straighting up, He made way when he saw Philip and his men rushing towards the elevator. They gave a nod to acknowledge his presence before the elevator dinged shut.
• 'I guess it really is time.' He thought.His eyes forward, he heads over to Carlos room. As he walked his mind went back to the days when he was brought in to join "The Rogue Mafia" As they called themselves, They were a secret organization headed by Carmichael, They work in the shadows and are feared by many.
• He was a rookie crooked who steals things from people just to survive,He had a hard time growing up. His parents died when he was fifteen years old and because he was not yet an adult, The system gave him a new family because he had no living relatives. At first his new family were kind and lovely towards him but all of a sudden they changed. It was as if the thread that was there snapped, So he had no choice but to run away from home and that was how he found himself stealing.
• But one day he stole from the wrong group, "The Rogue Mafia" And to make it worse , He stole from Carmichael.
• The only way he could save himself was to join them. And ever since, His been loyal to them especially Carmichael. " Guess he saw something in me, That was why he did not kill me." He muttered
• He shook his head to get rid of the memory before continuing on his walk. He stopped in front of a door. With a heavy breath, he raised his hand and knocked.
