11 - The Deal

The two men , in black , with a hat , in style , walked towards us . Agustus and Bastein  took me and father out of the vault . They closed the door behind us . I was scared to leave the room . I couldn't bear  people screaming in pain . I observed what they were injecting . And the vaccines had the letters ANT on them . It was their mission . Mission ANT . But I couldn't figure out what it was . They took us to an enclosed area , and sat down on two chairs . They made us stand and we were surrounded by guards . My dad didn't even look at them in the eye . According to our plan , we had to stay silent today no matter what happens.

So here you are , the head of Gerald industries . Does your daughter know ? I mean , about the industry .

My dad threw a death stare at Bastein . I looked at my dad , puzzled . He just ignored my stare . My dad didn't answer Bastein .

I'll ask you one thing straight Nathan . I want your company . So are you ready ? I'll  give you how much ever you want in return .

No .

My dad rejected it straight away .

Think about it Nathan . I can get the papers in other ways too , you know !

I said no . No it is .

So father , what do you think we do now ?

Agustus asked Bastein , in a playful way .

Simple son , we make the deal . Take it or leave it .

Isn't it too quick ?

No . This is the right way . He's not going to give it anyway .

Okay .

Agustus walked towards me , grabbed my hands , and took me to the opposite corner . My dad still didn't lift his head up . Bastein was now standing beside my dad .

So the deal is simple Nathan . You give me the company or I take your daughter's life . Think about it until tomorrow . You have one day in your hands .

A drop of sweat came down my dad's forehead . My grandfather's dream or me . Of course it was the hardest decision to make . Now I knew I had to be prepared to forget about the Gerald industries , that it ever existed . Me and dad were taken to different rooms . Agustus dragged me away . My dad , still was standing there , not even looking at me . Now I knew he had something planned in his mind . Agustus walked me to a different , and less secure place this time . He sent me into the room , he was about to leave now .

Agustus's POV :

As I was leaving , she called out my name , and I could feel the pain in her voice .
