Episode 60
“Alright, we attack tonight?" Brian asked. “Yeah...” Ace said. “Great, give me a second...” Brian said and stood up. “Where are you going to?" Ace asked. Brian walked out and came back holding A pack of beer.
“where did you get that? " Ace asked. “I kept it out when I saw the boss's car. He would say some shitty words if finds out we were gonna drink instead of getting busy with the case!” Brian said.
“Emm, okay..you know I don't drink. Right?" Ace asked smiling awkwardly. “Common just a bottle wouldn't hurt..” Brian said. “No, I am not tasting a single drop!" Ace insisted. “Common..." Brian said.
I
“No dude, hell no!" Ace said...
About an hour passed and Ace was on the last bottle. He had emptied about six bottles and was really drunk. He blabbered endlessly. Brian on the other hand sips one bottle slowly and watched as Ace drank heavily.
“I think you should go to your room now, we'll see tomorrow.. " Brian said. “Yeah, the door's that way..no it should be that.." Ace said staring around. He could barely see clearly.
Brian stood up to help him. He held Ace and they both walked to his room. Ace laid down on the bed and slowly fell into a deep sleep. Brian shut the door and walked out. He exited the house and looked around and went back in.
Brian brought the stuff out of his big coat. He slowly walked to Ace room and opened the door Slightly. Brian paused for a minute and watched as Ace slept peacefully. He sighed and pulled the string. He quickly threw it in and shut the door. Brian locked it and exited the house.
He brought out his phone and dialed Josh's line. “it's done? ” Josh asked. “Yeah, come pick him up.." Brian replied. “My man!" Josh said happily. The call ended.
Brian took his seat and waited patiently for Josh. About twenty minutes later, Brian heard sounds of cars. He stood up and walked to the door. Brian opened the door sightly and peeped out. He saw Josh alight with some men.
He opened the door more and waited for them as they approached slowly. Josh and the men walked up to him. “He's ready? " Josh asked. Brian nodded in affirmation.
“Good, very good!" Josh said smiling mischievously. They all walked in and went straight to Ace's room. “you used it about thirty minutes ago right?" Josh asked. “Yeah.." Brian replied.
“Alright, let's go in.." Josh said. Brian opened the door and they all walked in. Ace was lying on the bed sleeping like a dove. “What a cutie, grab him!" Josh said to his men. The men grabbed Ace and took him out leaving only Brian and Josh in the room.
“Wait, what's that?" Josh suddenly asked. He had spotted a black thing shaped like a bag sticking out under Ace's bed. “Shit, I completely forgot about that!" Brian thought to himself. Josh reached for the bags and pulled one out.
“Is this what I think it is!?" Josh asked smiling broadly. He opened the bag. “What's this!?" He exclaimed. There were clothes in the bag. “Where's the money?" Josh asked. “i don't know, it was supposed to be here!" Brian said.
He grabbed the bag from Josh and emptied it. The clothes fell out. “I think he has hidden it somewhere else..” Brian said. “Wherever he his it, we obviously wouldn't find it. Gotta go now!" Josh said and walked out.
“Where in the world did he keep the money!? " Brian asked himself. He rushed out to meet Josh. “Hey, my pay?" Brian asked. “come over to my place tomorrow, I'll pay you in cash.." Josh said. “Emm, okay..." Brian said.
He watched as Josh got in the car and Drove off..
Brian went back In and searched The house thoroughly but still found nothing. He gave up and went back home..
The second day came and everything went o as usual. Simone woke up and checked his mail once more. There were no messages from Ace still. He decided to pay him a surprise visit.
Simone got dressed and boarded a taxi to Ace's place. He soon got there and stares around. He walked to the house and knocked, There was no response. Simone paused when he suddenly heard a car stop. He turned around and saw a Man walk out holding a letter.
He walked to Simone. “Morning sir, are you Mr Ace?" He asked. “Emm, yeah. Am Ace! " Simone replied. “This is for you.." he said and handed the letter to Simone.
“Emm, Okay.. " Simone said. “Have a good day Sir.. " the mailman said and walked back to his car. “Thank you!" Simone said. He watched as the man got back in his car and drove off.
Simone stared at the letter and turned back to the door. He knocked few more times but still didn't get a response.
He twisted the door knob and pushed the open slowly. “Ace?" Simone said and walked in. He stared around and called out Ace's name constantly.
There was still no response. “Why in the world would he leave his door open!?" Simone exclaimed. He kept on searching and yelling Ace's name.
He went to his room and found his stuffs quite ransacked. “Hmm, this is weird.. " Simone said. He stared around but found no single clue of Ace's whereabouts.
Simone gave up and decided to wait for some while if he would show up. He stared at the letter. “From Annie, who's Annie? " Simone asked. “It should be a family or friend.." Simone said. He suddenly felt the urge to open the letter.
“Not again. Why does my hand keep on pushing me to do stupid things!? " Simone said. He tried to restrain but curiosity overwhelmed him and he ended up opening the letter.
“Hey Ace. Since Shaw died, I have waited for you to show up but you refused. We have left the city though, for our safety. U hope you find this killer before he finds you. My regards to Jane and your son. Bye" Simone reads.
