Chapter 112 A failed plan

Chapter 112 A failed plan
LEON

I leaned into the chair, enjoying the look on their faces more than I would have cared to admit.

" So you have nothing to say?" The officer asked.

" I already told you. Yes I ran away when I was already sentenced to jail, yes I also kidnapped miss Akira, what the hell are you going to do about it?"

It was something about having the backing of mr Calvin, something that made every bad move I made worth it. Because he was always going to save me.

The look on the police officer's face was priceless.

" Well I talked to miss Akira and she told me you are just a pawn and not the one who actually commited these crimes. You know you can get a lesser sentence if you just tell me who this man is right?"

I scoffed.

" No thank you..I have no idea who you are talking about" I said simply.

The police officer lost his cool now. I could see how face grow red with anger before he slammed his hands on the table, wagging his fingers at me.

" I am warning you and I swear I do not mind going old fashion to get the truth out. Who the hell Is it?!" 

I liked this. It was something about watching him lose his cool that tickled my fancy.

" So what now? I get transported to that jail? Or do I have to fail the court again for this new action".

He was seething, but he nodded his head slowly.

" I sure do hope that whoever you are protecting with such vigour is worth it. Because you will be going away for such a long time and it will be very hard to get out of this time" 

I hummed.

" I will like to take my chances with that".

" Oh and if you are thinking of breaking out this time, don't bother. The entire cell and the bus transporting you will be guarded heavily. Even the Lord himself will have a hard time extracting a strand of hair out of that bus"

I watched him slam the door and my smile broadened. I was going to walk away a free man again. All of this did not matter.

Then I got one phone call.

It gook a while, but his number finally went through.

" Why the hell are you calling me through this line?! What if it's tracked?" Mr Calvin yelled the minute I picked up the phone.

He dropped it abruptly before finally calling back again, but this time, with a burner phone.

" I'm sorry, I was not thinking, I just had to reach you somehow" 

He grunted.

" It's fine. What do you want? I have something to do" 

" Well you know you asked me to set the house on fire and leave? I could not get out on time so the police caught up with me. But you don't have to worry, I said absolutely nothing about you and your identity is still hidden. And all the documents linking to you has been burnt too" 

He hummed, going silent for a minute before he finally replied.

" Okay...and what do you want me to do now?" 

I pursed my lips.

" I'm currently about to be shipped off to the maximum prison. I don't know if you can send someone to come get me?" 

He sighed.

" Oh come on Leon. I thought you were smarter than this. Don't you know how the law works? If they have someone to blame for the murders, then they will be fine. But if you escape the whole world will be on edge and pressure the police officers and then they will find both of us"

I paused, not understanding what he was getting at.

" So you won't be coming today?"

" Look, remember when I said you were my right hand man? You know what right hand men do? They are selfless and they give up their lives for their masters."

" I don't understand!"

I could feel my cool slipping out of my hands now and slowly, my head began to hurt as refused to believe it was what I thought.

" I won't be coming for you Leon. Stop acting like you will be paying for crimes you did not commit. After all you did kill three people and you also kidnapped one. Just take all the weight of the crimes okay!"

I scoffed, I could somehow not phantom what he was saying.

" I will tell them everything about you! I will make sure you are arrested and killed you fuckong prick!".

" Tell me...what do you know about me? You know my name is Calvin but do you know how many Calvins are in new York alone? You will be playing a lost game"

He was right. I knew nothing about him asides from his name.

Shit.

I felt my knees grow weak as the phone disconnected. I had played right into his trap.

Just then, the door opened and Bryan walked in, a huge smile covering his face.

" You know, I never knew you would be useful to me.

But finally, you did something right" 
I pursed my lips.

" What the hell are you talking about?" I asked.

" I just needed ten seconds to get him and his address. And your stupid phone call did that. Thank you."

Suddenly, I felt hope surge through me.

" Yes! Tell the police about him! Capture that stupid man and bring him here".

He scoffed.

"Police? Oh you got this mixed up. I have relied on the police for too long and they have proven me right. They can do nothing. This is a personal mission. I will be killing him myself." He said and with that, I watched him turn around, no single saunter in his steps as he walked away.
