Broken but beating

The Meeting

Lucas waited as the girl stared at him,surprise and fear playing in her eyes.

"Do I know you?" She asked with a polite smile,trying to mask her nervousness. Lucas found himself smirking at her. She was such a poor actor. He enjoyed seeing fear in his victims's eyes. It was fear of losing what they cared the most that made them do what he wanted them to do. Fear was a weakness. And he studied one's weakness before confronting.

"You might not. But I know everything about you. You love those kids at Hill Blooms, dont you Levis?"

He asked in his steely voice, his face void of emotions. He watched as Levis's eyes widened in horror. He knew the girl was close with the orphans she was sponsoring.

"Shit" She murmered as she took out a phone from her pocket, her hands shivering. She was about to dial some number when Lucas snatched it away in a swift motion. She glared at him, clenching her fists.

"You remember recieving a mail asking for your plot." Lucas stated.

"And you rejected." He added.

There was disbelief in her features as she listened to him.

"Is it why you are creating this drama right now? For that plot?
So listen, am not selling it. Now, Leave me"
Lucas had pressed a revolver on her forehead before she completed saying it.
"I never leaves unless my job is done, Levis. I can finish you off in a second. But maybe....it will be better to get on your boyfriend." He said and watched the girl's face go pale.

"I dont have a boyfriend you scou-"

Her words trailed away as Lucas showed her his phone. It was a video call and on the screen was a car about to fall off from a cliff. A thick rope was connected to it from the back. Lucas raised his brow in truimph as the girl looked at it in horror.

"Isaac!" She said in shock.
"The offer remains same, Levis. Fair price for your plot and your boyfriend returns safe." He said slowly with an evil glint in his eyes.
"I agree to whatever!! I agree!!"
She shouted desperately and Lucas smiled.

"Leave the boy. Mission over" He said to the phone. He had known it would be this simple.

He led her out of the cemetery and into his car.

There was papers to be signed and the cheque of cash. Lucas watched as the girl signed the papers. She got out once everything was over and Lucas stood leaning on the car. Lucas took out a cigarette and lit it.
"I will get you, You Bastard!"
Someone said and Lucas smirked as he saw the girl looking at him.
His eyes met her brown eyes and he felt his stomach clench. He kept smoking as the girl stormed away to her car and drived off. His work was done. It was time to close the chapter.
He dropped the cigarette on the ground and smashed it with his shoes.

***************

Ashton hummed a song as he entered the apartment. For the first time Lucas had asked him for a help. And it was so simple. He drugged the boy and left him before setting his car at the edge of the cliff. And the girl believed that he was in the car. Even if Isaac Bowers realize he was used, there was going to be no way for him to get back. Ashton had not slipped any information about himself and he had always met him in a disguise.

Ashton smiled truimphantly at Lucas who was sitting on the couch, smoking.
"I think Steve had found a better guy to do dangerous things, Lucas. the Levis business was under your level"
"Nothing is under my level unless I dont get paid, Hunter. I work for money and you know that."
He said,smirking.
"Whatever! You know what? I drugged that Bowers boy and left him at the woods. I just took his car to the cl-"
He stopped in his tracks as he noticed Lucas's expression. His lips was set tight in anger and his eyes were widened in disbelief.
"Why would you do that?" He said through gritted teeth.
Ashton gulped and smiled sheepishly.
"You just wanted her to believe the boy was falling down and we did it. So what's the problem?"
"The problem is, am never again going to trust you with work" He said and stood up.
Ashton opened his mouth to argue but stopped.

"What drug did you use ?" Lucas asked him.
"I injected cocaine."
"How much??"
"Enough to make him lose conciousness."
"Fuck."
"Whats wrong?"
"Nothing."
Ashton narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to talk back. Lucas raised a hand and looked at his eyes with his glaring ones.

"We must make sure that Bowers boy reach home or else that girl is gonna inform somebody and Police involving wont be nothing good for us."

It then hit Ashton like ton of bricks. He had left the boy and the car at the woods. Whatever happening to him there would be their responsibility. He followed Lucas who was already heading out of the door.
"But what if he get against us if he has already woke up??" He asked Lucas as he got in the car.

Lucas smirked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"For him, we are strangers finding him at his bad time, Hunter. Were'nt you disguised as Daniel Johns when you were meeting him??" He said.

Ashton smiled. He had worn wig and eye lens when he met him so that there was no way the boy would be recognising him.

"We are leaving now"
Lucas said, already heading out of the door.
