SOMEBODY

CHAPTER-9 The Blood Will Flow Everywhere

Ethan drives to a place a little far from New York City, nestled in the middle of a vast wheat farm. A big barn stands in the center, surrounded by 19-20 windmills, with guards at the gate holding small SMGs. As Ethan reaches the gate, one of the guards approaches to ask who he is and why he is there. Ethan rolls down the window and says, "I want to meet Balter King. Tell him Ethan Shepherd Cross is here to meet him." The guard goes to the gate, takes out his walkie-talkie, and relays Ethan's message. Instantly, he orders the other guard to open the gate. The gate opens, and Ethan drives in.

Ethan's full name is Ethan Shepherd Cross. He was the son of Shepherd Cross, one of the most dangerous hitman during the 1960s and 1970s in Miami, America. However, Shepherd was betrayed and killed along with his wife in 1985. Ethan survived and later, in 1997, took revenge on the one who betrayed his father with the help of Balter King. Balter King was a good friend of Ethan's father, Shepherd Cross.

As Ethan reaches inside the gate, he sees at least 50 cars, 40 tractors, and 100 trailers parked. Men are loading white powder packed in plastic bags into the trailers. The drug is called Hezmophine or O Vibrador, which originated from Brazil. Once it reached America, it became a hub for Hezmophine. One inhale of the powder causes the hands to start vibrating, and when it hits the right spot, blood comes out of the nose, providing another level of hangover. Balter King was one of its biggest producers and suppliers.

Ethan goes inside the barn, but one of the guards stops him and tells him to wait for Balter King to complete his current work. Although it looks like a barn from the outside, inside it is a full-fledged mansion and office, extending underground. Ethan waits outside Balter King's office, from which heavy sounds of a female's moaning with pleasure emanate. Balter King can be heard saying and hushing, "You like it, baby? Tell me, bitch, do you like it?" with his assistant screaming with pleasure, "Yes, Daddy, it's sooooo good! Don't stop, oh yeah."

To be specific, Balter King is having sex with his assistant. After 30 minutes, the assistant comes out of the room, not even in proper clothes. Her breasts can be seen through her net top as she isn't wearing any innerwear. Holding her clothes in hand, she approaches Ethan and says, "You can go inside now." Ethan gets up from the chair and enters Balter King's office.

Balter King was sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee. As he saw Ethan, he smiled and said, "Ethan, you are here! Long time no see." Then he noticed Ethan's bloodied t-shirt and wounds. "What happened? How did you get these wounds and all this blood?"

Ethan replied, "Balter, I need your help."

Balter King said, "What kind of help, my friend? I will do anything in my power to help you."

Ethan explained everything that had happened. Balter King listened carefully and then said, "So, you want my help to kill Antonio, right?"

"Yes, I want to kill him with my own hands," Ethan said.

"See, Ethan, I don't want Antonio to ruin my business because now he is one of the big mafia leaders in America. So I can't help you openly, but I will help you secretly. Tell me what you need," said Balter King.

Ethan understood what Balter King was saying. He demanded, "Fake my death." Ethan gave the location of the crashed car, and Balter King sent his men there to fake Ethan's death. They placed a dead body that looked like Ethan's in the car, burned it, and made it look like Ethan and the two guards had died during a fight when the car crashed. The fake news reached Antonio that Ethan was dead, and Antonio believed it.

As Ethan was still a member of the Syndicate Directorate, the Directorate announced him dead. However, Ethan had to remain a member of the Syndicate Directorate to kill Antonio, because it was strictly against the rules for a non-member to kill a member. Any non-member who killed a member would be executed, Only a Directorate member can kill another Directorate member. So, with Balter King's help, Ethan rejoined the Syndicate Directorate under a fake name: "Somebody." He was now called Somebody, and he was ready to kill Antonio and everyone involved.
