Criminal Detective

The Takedown

ONE WEEK LATER:

Claire's eyes stared at the window and watched as the sun slowly poked its head from inside the clouds, about to let the world know it was now time to face their responsibilities and face life as a whole.

People included in its reminder, were both Claire and the Carasarcos. But they did not need it, for they all were already as active as hungry lions out to hunt.

It was THE day after all.

The day that would mark the unavoidable beginning of Adkins end. The day that would reduce his entire empire to rubble.

There was a loud knock on Claire's door which made her turn to it with an arched eyebrow.

"Get off your ass sleepy head. We have work to do" Samuel yelled from outside which made Claire shake her head in negation. She set cat on her bed who quickly comforted himself on one of the pillows before she strutted to the door and swung it open. Samuel's hand paused halfway, which signified that he had planned to knock again before he set it down. His eyes trailed Claire's body before they met her eyes which stared back in confusion.

"Uh, what did you just do?"

"Why are you still inside if you're already dressed?"

Claire shrugged "I was mentally preparing myself"

"You already had an entire week to do that. Come on, Roberto's waiting on us"

Claire nodded her head, stepped out of her room, then shut the door close. She matched Samuel's steps as they headed for the stairs. Below them. Natasha, Carlos, Sasha, and Daniel stood.

"About time" Daniel said with a small smile to which Claire rolled her eyes. Both her and Samuel joined the others before they all darted towards Roberto's office.

Samuel led the way, and as soon as he reached the door, pushed it open to reveal a room filled with men who wore matching attires with the rest of the crew. The signature black that represented the Carasarcos along with their masks hung around their necks. Roberto turned to the people who had just walked in and gave them a curt nod which Samuel responded to with the same gesture before he led the people behind him to a section filled with vacant seats.

"Ladies and gentlemen" Roberto spoke as they all placed themselves on seats "It's been a week, it's time for action"

The crowd roared in excitement, some of which chanted praises at Roberto in Spanish which brought a small smile to his face.

Just like everyone else in the room, Roberto was completely draped in black. Except his was formal. He had on a black suit, pants, shoes, a black long sleeve inside of his suit and a tie that he fiddled with to not circle his neck completely.

"We do not need to go into too much detail. As we have already gone over this these past few days. All that remains is to execute"

"You all know your stations and know what you have to do. The location for the live broadcast has been arranged and every journalist, lawyer, and influential figure out to find some way to profit off of this has been contacted. Every obstacle that we are aware of leading up to this day has been taken care off"

Claire huffed as the last statement kicked at her memories.

Prior to the end of the week, word had got out that someone was planning something against Adkins, most of that information which came from some of the same people Roberto intended to coax into helping him.

So while they continued to make preparations, they most times would get ambushed. Claire at some point was ambushed along with Samuel who had to kill a large amount of people before they returned back to Roberto's house.
