"So you are telling me that it will take one more week? That's nonsense!!I am paying you such a huge sum and still you can't get your work done?!! I shouldn't have trusted you" James said as he faced Mr. Gary. James wanted to end the game,like he wanted to win as soon as possible. Even if he has to kill someone he will not go back on his tracks. It has already been 2 days,and there is not much progress.

That's why he contacted Mr.Gary who was an expert in destructing the old buildings. He wanted to finish off Scar's every property, obviously with his people inside it. And then nothing will be left behind,no one will be able to arrest him as well. Because he is already going to spread the rumours that Scar and his friends were into an illegal business of arms and ammunition,so when the blast happens it can be considered as the weapons got exploded. And to prove this theory he has many of his men in the political field.

"Look, it needs time. If it were some old buildings,then we could have get it done by tomorrow. But you are talking about this huge strong buildings, and.... That ... That also with people inside it" he said as he looked at James. James laughed which was filled with mockery "you are the one talking about human life..?! The one who killed his bullies and was captivated in the jail for that? And later on you killed the boss of your company and took his position. So you still want to talk about those people?"

Mr.Gary smiled as he looked at him "you surely know a lot about me" he said and stood up from the couch "okay then, i will  try to finish this within a week" he then left from there.

"John, what is that kid doing? Is he enjoying his time?" James asked as he stood up and looked towards the basement door. John nodded his head "he is behaving himself sir"

James sighed "mmhmm.. he is really very obedient,so obedient that.. it's very doubtful" he smiled and said to John "bring him to my room".

John looked at him for a second,and then nodded his head. He did as he was told and entered the room.
Grace was still working on the phone trying to recharge it somehow,but as soon as he heard the sound of the door opening he quickly threw the phone inside the drawer.

He then turned around in panic, "Can't you just knock be--" before he could say anything further,John interrupted him "boss is calling you in his room" he said in a stoic manner.

Grace frowned as he heard this "I don't want to go- heyy!!" John didn't listen to Grace's protests as he grabbed him by his wrist and dragged him towards the room. Grace kicked him on his calf muscles but John didn't even budge a little. "Sorry kid, better luck next time" he said as he pushed Grace into the room.

He staggered a bit as the force John used to push him was a bit strong,he was about to lose his balance and hit the floor. But suddenly two arms reached towards him,which prevented him from falling. He looked at the arms around him and then at the person. James had the same creepy smile as he looked at Grace "be careful,you will harm yourself"

Grace gritted his teeth in anger as he freed himself from the grasp,and snorted "it would have been better to fall on the ground and get hit on the face" he said loud enough for James to hear. But James didn't get angry at all,he still kept the smile "I know, I know you are feeling sad as your whole family is going to die soon."

Grace looked at him confused 'my family?' he didn't understand the meaning. "By family I mean your husband, brothers, friends.. and all." James said to make things more clear.

Grace looked at him,shock and fear filled in his eyes as he heard this "you..!! How can you be so cruel..?!! Are you out of your mind?!" He said as he grabbed him by the colar. James laughed "you really think I am a saint? Oh come on... You know me better than anyone else. Don't you remember how I tried to kill you?" He asked Grace as he looked down at him.

Grace was having a hard time breathing properly. "You spineless coward!!" He screamed at him. James held his wrist that was grabbing his collar "don't worry,I won't kill you. And you don't have to worry, I will take care of you after his death. I have quite a like for you, I don't know why but you are quite entertaining. How about it? A better world for you and me.. it sounds beautiful.. no?"

He kept on talking shamelessly "once the building is shattered into pieces,I will be at peace. And I will be the only powerful person in this city" he said as he slowly moved Grace's hand towards his face and smelled it,and rubbed his lips on it. "Tell me why do you smell so nice? And how come your hands are so soft? I am sure there are more places in your body,that are soft" Grace struggled to free himself as he was feeling disgusted, the feeling of his chapped lips rubbing against his palms was really very nasty. "Leave me you bastard!!" He shouted.

James was going to kiss his hand,but was soon interrupted by his bodyguard. "Sir,it's Mr.Erick on the phone and he wants to talk to you" he said from the door. James rolled his eyes "uh.. I swear, we were having so much fun.. and.."

"You creepy old b$stard!you were the only one having fun!! bloody sadist!!"

"Haha.. we will continue this later. The call is important for me so I will have to take it" he said as he walked to the door "Neil, take him to his room"

As soon as he reached his room he quickly ran into his bathroom and started washing his hands. He rubbed it till it became red,it seemed like it was going to bleed. But still the lingering feelings in his palms were not going "oh,god help me. I will have to inform my brothers that they are in danger" he mumbled to himself.

In the evening John came in with the dinner. He kept it on the table as he looked at Grace"you need anything?" Grace sighed as he looked at the dishes "no" he muttered. Anyway he was not in the mood to eat anything.
John was about to leave when suddenly Grace stopped him "wait... I feel like eating p.. potatoes and also can I have some lemons as well? I feel nauseous in between so smelling some lemons can help me"

John looked at him a bit suspiciously but didn't say anything. "French fries or any-"

"A whole potatoe .. raw. It would be nice to have 2 or 3 of them. They are really very delicious"

John was taken aback for a moment,but he did according to his orders. And soon the potatoes and lemons were delivered to him. Grace looked at them as he hoped for things to work "it may not charge it fully but, it can produce a low amount of electricity"

He then soon started working on it, he took out the battery, some cello tape,wires and cutter. He used to do such things when he was a kid,it may take a whole lot hours to charge it but he won't stop until something happens. He will have to do it daily to charge it at least till 10% ,even though it will take a day or two it may still not be late. He actually felt stupid but he can't do anything about this,he was desperate to save his family. After connecting everything he waited for the miracle to happen.

"If you needed a charger then you could have told me"

'shitt!! There is no hope for me now.'
