CHAPTER 64: CHILL?

It was so strange... while the old man walked away, he just stayed on the bench, sitting and thinking, why the hell would the fucking mayor hire a hitman to take him out?

The fucking mayor, whos job is to keep the city running... just why?

Not even out for a week, and already he was in the crosshairs of everyone in the city. Sure, he’d done a lot of things, but still, this whole mayor thing was a mystery... and then there was that somebody who spent five million just to protect him.

Though Joseph had some guesses, especially thinking back to what Olivia told him right after he was freed... a mayor in this city could easily use backdoors to make millions... and somehow in some ways Joseph fucked him over.

It had to be Hibeer with his real estate shit. Yeah, he made millions, maybe even billions and the real estate company was the perfect cover for it all. Maybe he even had a fake contract with the mayor, used that opportunity to smuggle, to sell, to move things under the mayor power... or maybe—

"What was this?!" Pablo’s voice suddenly came from the side as he sprinted across the park with a couple of bodyguards at his side. His breaths were fast and shallow... and he was visibly angry as fuck.

"It was a calm talk with an old man." Joseph said as he looked at him. "Though he had some aggression in his voice and eyes."

"Of course he had!" Pablo raised his voice again. "He was Jeremiah Liysa."

"Oh, do you know him?" James asked, still calm, and at the same time Pablo started to cool off too. He realized it was just fuckery to even be angry, to raise his voice like that... so he dropped down on the bench as well, right next to him.

"Back at the DAG there were times when he showed up faster than us..." as he said it Joseph knew that he truly escaped death and understood why Pablo was angry. "He is a brutal man or at least he was back then... what happened between the two of you?"

"We talked about life." He replied. "Though he said something very interesting." He turned to Pablo. "Two people hired him, one to kill me and one to protect me."

Now Pablo got even more confused by this whole situation. "Protect you?"

"Yeah, that part shocked me too." Joseph said as he saw Pablo stunned by it. "But he didn’t say who it was... but on the other hand he said the other one." He slowly stood up from the bench. "Who the fuck is the mayor and why would he want me dead?" He stared into Pablo’s eyes. "Like it doesn’t make any sense to me."

"The mayor?" Now Pablo got even more confused because he too didn’t know shit about him, moreover why the fuck would he want him dead.

"Yeah, it was the mayor. He paid a million to get me killed, not just that somebody sent 9 people too... but Jeremiah killed them."

A mystery it was... a big mystery especially for Pablo.

Fucking Jeremiah Liysa, who back in his prime was nicknamed the Grim Reaper... and he left James alive... the man who back in his time was an army on his own, killed cartel bosses, moved like somebody straight out of a movie... somebody who never took counter offers, he always killed his targets, let it be a woman, a man, or even a child... but he just walked away from Jospeh... he accepted a counter offer.

The same man who was recruited to be a DAG operative but declined saying, "There is no fun in it."

"Somthing is up with Jeremiah... is he ill?"

"Yeah, he is. But I don’t think that’s the reason he left me alive," Joseph said. "He’s old, sure, but he killed nine people like it was nothing, spotted the snipers, even noticed you and the others... maybe it was just a lucky day, huh?" He smirked.

"Yeah... it is." Pablo answered, forcing a smile that comes more from stress and frustration than anything else. He knows that Joseph does not give a fuck about his own life... but Pablo himself... he cares for him... and Jeremiah could’ve killed Joseph easily, but he chose not to. What a fucking mystery... or maybe really just a lucky day. "But we need to leave before Jermiah changes his mind... or some more shows up."

"Indeed... not just leave, but pay a visit to our lovely mayor." The smile on his face, no, it wasn’t from frustration nor stress... it was pure excitement.

"Wouldn’t it be too much?" Pablo asked because indeed it was too much, they did so many things that it’s unbelievable and he’s only out for 3 days...

They literally went on a killing spree, shattered the hierarchy of the whole criminal underworld, made a so-called deal with the DSA, and did many other things they don’t even know about... the consequences of their actions... and now Joseph wants to go to the mayor... the one person with the most political power in the city and who know what else...

They are on demon time.

"Would it be too much?" Joseph asked as they now started to walk out of the park.

"Yeah, I think for a bit, even if we already made plans. You need to... relax and chill... have time to reflect on yourself and the situation." Pablo explained, and he was right about it.

Joseph just came out, and from the start everything went wrong or more like, with luck, everything went right. He introduced himself to the underworld, put his name out, showed that the Cassians are back... or more importantly, he put his own name out... his own destiny as a Cassian.

But he didn’t do a single thing... to just chill, literally just chill out for a day or a week, and let things play out. Though things don’t work that way in your favor... you need to act, you need to work... and that’s what he’s done until now... though it worked, because things went horribly wrong from the beginning.

If he hadn’t gotten kidnapped in the first hour, he’d be out, everything would be much better, less chaotic, less stressful. They could have planned everything, could have done things so much better and smoother... made connections... but now, of course, everything went wrong, and they created the biggest chaos in the criminal underworld.

"You’re right, Pablo" He said as he got in the car with him. "I don’t even know how to use a phone properly... or anything else that for others is just an everyday thing." Yeah, he needed to learn the most basic things.

"Exactly, Joseph, and while you’re chilling out, even taking care of your eyes, me and the others do everything, plan, make connections, gather information on the mayor." Pablo said, as he finally could influence Joseph with one thing.

"Right, though there is something far more important than what you’ve just said." Joseph said, looking deep into Pablo’s eyes. His face was serious, and even his voice carried a certain depth.

"What would it be?" Pablo asked back, and he just guessed that once again something was going to happen, that Joseph was thinking about something atrocious.

"Sex," Joseph said, his face still serious... dead serious. "I didn’t have any sex or anything before jail, and of course during jail I used my hand." he chuckled. "In short... I want to fuck somebody, preferably a woman, with big boobs, big ass."
