A Visit

“There was no need to be with me, this isn’t the part of operation.” Deicide said to Chris and Harry.

“We won’t bother you with your business, we just have to keep a watch upon your activities.” Chris replied.

“Not like we could stop you either.” Harry said with a smile.

“Apart from all this we wanted a break from all those military activities and Mauritius is the best place to have one.” Chris replied as he hig fived with Harry.

“You could have taken the girls as well.” Deicide said as the pilot announced for the landing, he tied his seat belt.

“We did purpose the idea, Jill and Sakura were eager to come along but then Jane denied and then they two denied too.” Harry replied as he tied his seatbelt.

Decide and his mates walked out of the airport and headed for the hotel. After few hours, Deicide entered Harry and Chris’s room.

“I am leaving are you willing to come along?” Deicide asked.

“Yeah, that’s what we are here for.” Harry replied.

“I will be waiting for you in the lobby.” Deicide said.

“Where are heading towards?” Chris asked.

“An underworld bar, one of my acquaintance live there, you can it a hideout.” Deicide said.

“Are you sure you want to take us there?” Chris asked.

“Won’t it be a betrayal?” Harry asked.

“Don’t worry he is not a criminal neither a threat to society, even if you want to take him hostage, I am afraid that you will be able to do so.” Deicide said.

“It means we have nothing to worry about them.” Chris said. Deicide nodded.

The taxi stopped at a place it seemed to be an old hut. Deicide walked inside the hut, an old man was sitting on a chair, as he saw Deicide walking in he stood on his place.

“I am here for Poseidon.” Deicide said.

“He is not here.” The old man replied.

“I know he is down there, either you let me in or call him out.” Deicide replied.

“Sorry but I can’t let you in without any special request or the password.” The old man replied.

“It’s been while, Uncle. Can you put off the get up?” Deicide replied.

“Huh, uncle.” Suddenly the tone of his voice changed and he stood upright. “Either say the password or die.” The old man pulled out his gun.

“Are we going to pick a fight?” Chris whispered to Harry.

“I am pretty sure there would be some security behind here.” Harry replied.

“Well, Mr. Zodiac is with us, we have no need to worry.” Chris replied.

“Do you think he will protect us?” Harry asked.

“Probably.” Chris replied.

“Uncle, enough of it. I am here to meet you.” Deicide said.

The old man looked at Decide closely and said, “Huh, Deicide. I expected better from you.” The old man pulled out his make up and wick, soon he transformed into a middle aged man with a bald head. He came to Deicide and patted his back heavily.

“You are as good looking as ever put on some muscles dude.” Poseidon said. Chris and Harry looked surprised, soon they caught Poseidon’s eye.

“Your friends?” He asked as he stared at their faces closely.

“Men from the WPMO.” Deicide replied.

“What? When did the things like peace started to fascinate you.” Poseidon asked laughing.

“It’s a long story.” Deicide said.

“Let’s hear it out on a table then. Come boys, lets have some fun among the bachelors.” Poseidon said.

Poseidon took the three of them in and underground bar, through a secret passage.

“Yo boys, in the rear. Be aware to hide your identity, otherwise be ready to go out on four shoulders.” Poseidon said.

“Kick us out, that will be fabulous. I never have been kicked out of a bar, that will be thrilling.” Harry said.

“The motive of his sentence was be ready to die.” Deicide said.

Harry and Chris looked at each others faces, they followed quietly. Soon they were in a bar full of giant men and the white collars as well, girls were serving them.

“Boys, you two take that table, me and Deicide will have a personal chat here.” Poseidon said as he pointed towards a table. “Order at your content, the bill is on me.” Chris and Harry took their seats, Poseidon and Deicide were sitting on two tables away from them.

“Most of the men here are either reported dead or the most wanted criminals through out the world.” Chris said looking around.

“Yeah. It is a den of dead and white collar criminals, how about we report the headquarter about it.” Harry said.

“Let’s talk with others after we get back.” Chris said.

“Those are thinking about reporting this to headquarter.” Poseidon said.

“Let them do that. Does it really matter to you. As far as know you will find something more interesting.” Deicide replied.

“Yeah, but this place has some memories, I was planning to spend some more time here.” Poseidon said.

“Then do with them what you usually do with others.” Deicide said.

“I thought they were your friends.” Poseidon said.

“Friends, huh, what made you think that?” Deicide asked.

“I knew you are not alike your brothers. Well, erasing their memories isn’t a big task for me.” Poseidon replied, “Let’s come straight to the point, what made you come to me?”

“I want all the recent information related to Zodiac Household.” Deicide said.

“I would hate to say this but you are at the wrong place. It’s been a while since I have picked upon them, probably last four years.” Poseidon replied.

“It’s really been a while. So, do you don’t know anything about them?” Deicide asked.

“Only the headlines that caught some attention in the public.” Poseidon said. “Beside, the WPMO is the best place to know about them. They will tell you everything about them.”

“I don’t trust those guys, it’s just that I wanted their help for eliminating Dino.” Deicide said. Poseidon looked at him with surprise.

“I won’t ask anything about it, beside I was told to stay out of the business, but l myself have some business to settle with them. Two years more and I would have come for them.” Poseidon said.

“Unluckily, you won’t get the chance.” Deicide said as he stood upon his place, Chris and Harry walked to his table and stood behind him. “Fine, I will come to you for some more business if needed.” Deicide shook hands with Poseidon, as he did that, Poseidon tried to evaluate his power, Deicide smiled and said, “I am not the weak guy anymore.” Poseidon smiled. Harry and Chris shook their hands with him as well.

“I will be coming for, Heracles.” Poseidon said as Deicide walked away.

‘Defeating the eldest does not mean complete victory. A lot has changed.” Deicide said as he walked out of the bar.

On the way back, Chris asked Deicide, “What was the old man talking about?”

“Coming for Heracles? Why would he go for the eldest son of Zodiac household?” Harry asked.

“To prove his superiority, when Father was at his prime he was a step behind, so Father was selected for the experiment of creating a superior race. Poseidon could not take it at all, so he wanted to defeat the strongest version of Father as he is in his prime now.” Deicide replied.

“Then why did you replied it that way.” Harry asked.

“Because Big Brother Hera is not the powerful version of Father, there is someone even more dangerous.” Deicide said, as the image of a Z tattoo neck flashed before his eyes.
