Uncle Milo

Uncle Milo
I had two of my men follow my nephew. I needed to know it was telling me the truth. One of my men started on foot following them two blocks away from the bar. They got into a car the other one was following in the car. He picked my other man up and they continued to follow them to apartment building on the nice side of town. Not totally in the upper class but still in the nice area. They got  out and walked in the door man waved them in so I knew they must be regulars to this building. So far so good that my nephew was on the up and up with me. I knew he hasn’t told my brother that he is talking to me because my brother isn’t here ready to tear my head off. I know if I am to get back into my families good gracious I will need to prove myself. What better way than to help my nephew and his new mate. I need to learn more about Ginger and what she is all about. I knew how to start find some information so my nephew will trust me enough to meet her. That is why I sent out three groups of two in different directions hoping one of them will find out something. I didn’t want to wait long to be able to show them I can be useful and trusted since that terrible trouble that lead to my banisment.

Now that I knew where to find my nephew I had the boys take me back to my home. It was in the upper east side of town. I still had money when I left and just made more since and I’ve been good just very homesick. I have always wondered who took over my job, but yet I didn’t want to know. It was late afternoon when two groups came back with nothing to report and I wasn’t happy. So I sent them back out to look in a few other places. Another hour went by and my other group came back with a person tied up and mouth taped shut. This must be good, I thought. 

“Boys, what did you bring me?” I asked them

“This man said that Tia offered him a job and that is he wanted it or new of others who wanted a job they were to contact her. But he refused to give me that information or the where abouts of where he was when she offered him this job. So we brought him to you.” Hinchman one said

“I am sure we can find ways to make him talk. Hinchman two put in down.” I told him

So, the hinchman two dropped him to the floor. All you heard was hard grunt that came from him. 

“One of you take the tape off his mouth. He can’t talk to me with that on there.” I looked at all my hinchman in the room. One of my men bent down and grabbed the tape and ripped it off. The man screamed then looked at me and shut up quick. I could tell he was scared.

“Please don’t hurt me. I don’t want to die.” the man said

“Then you better start talking and telling me what you know.” I said with evil in my eyes. 

“My name is Brad. I’m out of work and lost my job at the construction company here in town. They got rid of me because the new owner doesn’t want trolls working in his company. So with what little money I had left I went to Joe’s dive bar and that is where this woman came up to me and asked me if I wanted a job. I told her sure and she asked me if I knew any other guys that wanted a job and if I did to call her and she will set up a time and place to meet. That’s all I know cause I haven’t called her yet. I was hoping to get a few others to join with me.” Brad said to me with fear in his eyes.

“Okay I am going to feed you and get you some clean clothes and then I am going to take you somewhere to meet a couple of people and you are going to tell them what you have told me. If all goes well I will help you get a job that won’t get you killed.” I told him then had the guys do excatly what I said. Feed him, and get him cleaned up to go out and be seen with me. Then I made a phone call to my nephew. It rang a few times then he picked up and I could tell he put me on speaker. My nephew didn’t waste no time, he got right to the point.

“Yes I do. Hello Ginger, I can’t wait to meet you. I am Milo Lumar’s Uncle. If you can let him go for a hour or so I would like him to meet me at Ann’s Cafe so he and I can chat. Also bring that friend of your’s that was with you earlier tonight. I think he will want to make sure your safe. Till we meet GInger.” I said to my nephew and his mate. She didn’t say anything and I figured she wouldn’t. Once we had our little small talk I told him where to meet me and what time. I even made sure he brought that guy with him that way everyone felt safe to some extent. Once that was done I went and got cleaned up an to check on that dummy that my men brought back.

He was in the dinning room getting himself something to eat and drinking my alcohol. I grabbed me a drink and sat down and looked at him.

“Are you about ready to go?” I asked him

“Yeah , I guess so. Who are you taking me to?” Brad asked

“You will see, so stop asking questions. We will be leaving in ten minutes.” I told him and got up to go find the boys. We all got into one car and headed for the meeting and to my surprise my nephew was there waiting for us. He must hae gotten there early to scope the place out, damn I should have tought of that.

“Hey nephew. Have you been waiting long?” I asked him

“No, what is the information that you have for us?” He asked like he wanted to be else where. 

“Always to the point with you. I like that. My men found a man that knows something about Tia. It’s not a lot but it’s a place to start. Boys bring Brad in so he can talk with my nephew.” I said

The men did as I asked and that is when Lutin stood up. He had an anger look on his face. It made me wonder if he knew the guy.

“Lutin is there something wrong?” I asked

“Yes, this man use to follow my sister around. He if told you something then he didn’t tell it all. He was one of the men who left warning notes on my sisters door before a lot of this got started.” Lutin explained and as he did the man looked up and turned white as a ghost. Right then I knew Lutin was telling me the truth. Brad tried to run but my men kept a good grip on him and forced him to sit down in a chiar next to the table we all were at.

“So Brad my friend here tells me you haven’t been completly forth coming about all that you know. Why is that Brad?” I asked him. He wasn’t taking his eyes off of Lutin at all and he sure as hell wasn’t talking. 

“I think we may have to talk this else where to get him to talk.” I said

“Lumar it looks like we are going to have to get Mia and Ginger involved in this now. They are the two that would get what we want out of him without leaving marks.” Lutin said. He had my full attention now.

“I know. I don’t like it, but I agree with you. Call her and have them come here and we can find someplace where no one can see.” Lumar replied

“There is a warehouse a block away that I own we can use that. If you guys want that is.” I told them as I made the offer

“That should work. We will go when the girls get here.” Lumar shot back not liking how all this is turning out.
