“Job well done.” I said before turning off the television.

“Thank you, sir” Lucas said.

“I’ll give you a bonus on your payday, you can take a break from now until the investigation is over” I said while looking at him.

“Thank you, boss!” he said with a smile on his face. He looked around like he’s looking for someone

“what is it?” I asked.

“Ah, nothing sir. I was just wondering where’s Mr. Wilkes” he asked as he points at Jabez’s table.

“He didn’t usually leave his table” he said.

“He’s on a job”

Lucas looked at me with his eyes wide open “What?” he shouted.

“The target is high profile and on top of that he’s also filthy rich; with dozens of body guards and high security house.” I answered.

“If that’s the case, then why did you send Mr. Wilkes?” Lucas asked.

I laughed, “Oh, I remember you’re just new here. Who trained you?” I asked. “Mr. Park, sir” he answered.

“Is he a good mentor?”

He nodded with a smile on his face “He’s so strong and intelligent! He taught us a lot and because of him I’m able to get higher ranking” he said with enthusiasm.

“Park was once trained by Jabez”

“What?” he exclaimed.

“Yes, all of the elites here are trained by Jabez but he decided to take a break from killing and started to take the role of an assistant. It fits him well; you’ll never know how violent he is if he’s sitting down at that chair looking at his computer.” I laughed.

“Wow I never knew Mr. Wilkes is such a cool person” he exclaimed “Thank you for sharing this to me sir. I’ll get going now!” he said before leaving.

Such enthusiasm for someone who just killed, well he killed a criminal so maybe he feels like he did the right thing.

“Dad! Is killing people bad?” I asked my father.

“Yes, whatever the reason is, you should never kill anyone. We have no right to kill but in this world we living, we need to do so to survive and save people.” Dad answered.

“Then have you ever killed anyone?” I asked.

“Yes, but it is because I need to save someone. We never intended to kill, we wanted to save people but there are bad guys who’s willing to kill and die and we have no choice but to shoot them down to save many lives.” dad explained.

Why do I have to remember that scene? It’s no use to reminisce of the past, I already disappoint him enough and because of that kindness he’s now gone.

I was about to go to my office when someone knocked at the door. “It’s me” I immediately open it when I heard Jabez’s voice.

“That was fast?” I said while looking at him, he looks fresh? Did he finish the job or he don’t want to do it?

“Hey, you better not slack off. Mr. Castellano might become one of our loyal client” I said while following him. “We can’t afford to fail this one. It will leave a mark at our clean records” I said again. He walked towards the closet to remove his coat, and there I saw 4 guns. “Whoa, did you use those?” I asked.

“Job’s finish.” He said without looking at me. I immediately check the internet but there’s no news about the death of Chris Liam. “Calm down, he’ll die soon.” Jab said before he sat down in front of his computer. “You have 3 appointments for today, one of them is about the security service so I’ll be the one to handle that” Jab said while typing something on his computer. I’m still confuse on what is happening so I stood there looking at him “What do you want?” he asked

“Ah, I was just curious on how you did it” I said

“You’re being too nosy; what kind of boss are you?” he exclaimed “Chris Liam will die at 8pm because of food poisoning” Jab said with a smirk on his face.

Ah, I understand now.

“if you can’t get close, let someone close to him to do it.” I said while looking at the window.

“Scared to lose his family, a man who’s desperate to survive will do anything. That bastard might be good at keeping himself protected but his bodyguards are all open. He can’t hide everyone’s information nor fake it. Having too much men is his down fall.” Jabez said. He’s really good at this things, I didn’t make a mistake of choosing him to do the job.

“Mr. Castellano will be please at your job.” I said with a smile on my face.
