"Patt's already in New York?" I asked.
"Yeah, he knew. I guess he tracked your jet."
"So what now?" I asked Matthew.
"We can't keep Lincon's fake death for long, Patt contacted Resos and Western. Hikomoto was mad at Patt for this so he cut all the ties between him and Patt. Hikomoto and his man are coming to us to get his kids back." Matthew answered.
"Are you going to give them back to Hikomoto that easy?"
"Of course not, we're going to ask him to cooperate. Apparently Western can't give the stock to Lancio since Lincon didn't write anything for it."
"That's good."
"I'm not done yet Marco.. Patt successfully asked Resos to join the club."
"But Patt wants Resos's stock."
"Back stab them in the end." Matthew said and right..
"Why is he that ambitious?"
"The stock that Lincon has now it's his dad's." Oh I get it now.
"Gosh why can he ask it nicely and just pay it."
"He's bankrupt now."
"What?!"
"He's bankrupt and EL supported him and made a deal to devide the stock in the end." Matthew laughed.
"When did you know about this?"
"Just last night along with Andrew and Axel. We found out because all our men collected it all from a lot of sources." I sighed and looked up to the ceiling.
"What's next? I'm tired already."
"We can't trust no one right now, one of them might stab us from the back."
"Patt is quite smart." I admitted.
"Be careful with Cassandra." Matthew warned and I turned to Cassandra who's still sleeping.
"Don't worry, I got it under control."
"Good because she might contact Patt secretly. You never know."
"I'll watch everymove." I said as I plopped myself to the sofa.
"Go back to New York soon, you can't stay there." He said.
"Yeah, don't worry. Going back to New York soon." I said.
"Okay, see you then." He ended the call and I leaned my head back. I'm so tired. I need more sleep.
"Is there something wrong?" I shot my eyes open and turned to Cassandra. She sat up on the bed and took off the fever pad from her forehead.
"Patt is bankrupt and EL supported him." I stated.
"That's not shocking."
"What?"
"I am always suspicious that he's bankrupt. He might be one the most dangerous mafia but he loses a bet with someone once. He lost a lot of money."
"That's why he wanted that stock." I stated as I knew the answer to the riddle already.
"Who?" I asked her about who Patt's had his bet with.
"I don't know, I heard talking to someone once." She said and I looked at her suspiciously.
"You need to tell me, Cassandra." I said in a warning tone.
"I don't know, Marco! I don't know!" She hissed and glared at me. I sighed and decided to get back to work.
"Switch it with me, you go have a rest." She said as she got off the bed. She walked to me and I ignored her. She pushed me away from my chair and took over.
I walked to the bed and laid on it. I really need some sleep. I really need it. I closed my eyes and immediately went to dreamland.
"Marco.." I opened my eyes and the first thing that I saw was Cassandra's face.
"What?" I asked
"You need to see this." She said and I got up that second. She walked to the sofa and I followed her. I plopped beside her and looked at the laptop.
"There's something odd about this area." She pointed at one particular room.
"What?" I asked and she replayed the video over and over again.
"There's only one particular person who got into this room." She pointed.
"Actually we don't need to find out about him anymore since Patt went back to New York." I said to her.
"But I bet Patt wants something from him. He's in New York to get Hiroto and Yurina."
"He wants the stock." I said.
"I don't think so.. Hikomoto is a science company, he will produce a medicine soon that can cure cancer along with HIV and AIDS. Apparently back in the days.. Patt's dad plan money on him but it's not that much of money."
"So you're saying Patt is aiming for a lot of things?"
"Yes, definitely. He's aiming a lot. Like killing 2 birds with one stone or maybe a lot of birds." She said and I nodded. It makes sense.
Suddenly my phone rang.. It's an unknown number. I connected my phone with my laptop to find out who called me.
"Hello"
"Marco Hastington" It's Hikomoto.
"Hello Mr. Hikomoto." I said and Cassandra started to track him.
"Let's have a deal." He said to the point
"What deal Mr. Hikomoto?" Cassandra pointed at the red dot on the screen.
"To get Patt, he's trying to take something away from me." Bingo! We just talked about this. Cassandra leaned her ear to the phone too so she could hear.
"Why did he come to you yesterday?"
"He was asking me to sell some of the Western's stock and my inventions."
"So if we make a deal.. what do I get from you?"
"3% of the Western stock." That's quite a nice deal, you all might think that 3% is a small deal but nope. Never underestimate that little number in the stock world.
"3% and 2 units of Hikomoto's jets."
"3% and 1 unit of Hikomoto's jet." He said and I smirked.
"Deal."
"Good, let's meet up to make the contract." I ended the call and smiled.
"You're welcome." She said and I turned to her.
"Good job." I ruffled her hair and got up. I took my balzer and walked down to the lobby. Cassie followed me and got into the car.
"Let's make some deal."
