Trouble after a fun filled night
It hadn't been long since they entered the house, Santiago had already received a call from his men, Ruth just sighed and entered the room, they were back again in this world.
Santiago's hands had formed into a fist, he was only gone for the night and they had already lost one thousand kilograms of cocaine. He slammed his hand on the desk in his office and gritted his teeth.
"Who authorized you to carry out that operation?" She asked Epiphone, "I've told you times without numbers never to carry out any operation without me!" He yelled. He suddenly disconnected the call and went to his room, took a bath and changed his clothes.
He went to the safehouse and met them there, they had already lined up waiting for him to show up, they knew that he would come down the moment he ended the call without a word.
"Epiphone come here." He stood with one hand in his pocket and the other hand had a gun, he used the gun hand to motion his to come closer.
He punched him with the gun hand, Epiphone staggered, he spat out blood. "Why did you carry out that operation?" Santiago asked staring at him with anger-filled eyes.
"Boss we tried calling you but your number wasn't going through, we called Sir Andrew but he wasn't picking up. We decided to carry out the operation because we know that you knew Señor Martinez. We didn't know that he had set us up with Mateo."
Santiago had turned his phone off because he didn't want to ruin his night with Ruth, and Andrew was having his moment with Dera, he didn't even know where he had left his phone until the next morning.
"Trust or no trust, I've told you if I don't authorize any operation then don't carry it out." He shut his eyes and massaged the bridge of his nose.
His head was aching, they knew his health condition but were still stressing him up. Despite the bunch, Epiphone rushed to the room brought a glass of water and helped him sit down. The doctor they had there brought them his drugs and he drank.
"We are going to fix this boss we promise, Mateo stole the one thousand kilograms of cocaine but we are going to steal it back. Some of our buyers have been playing tricks with us the moment they found out that you were Santiago. Sure we were able to fool the people but no out dealers because they know who they've been dealing with." Epiphone said.
"Don't do anything now, let me talk to that punk." He pulled out his phone but Epiphone took it from him, he stepped back scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.
"Epiphone, I'm angry, don't make it worse." He glared at him.
"Boss, Miss Davidson had told us to make sure you don't stress yourself, especially when you start having headaches. She told us that if she ever finds out that you passed out, she is going to put a bullet right through our legs and arms, yours included. We know she just bluffing but let's just be on the safe side."
Santiago rolled his eyes, he tried to hide the smile that was trying to spread on his lips, and he lowered his head so they wouldn't see him blushing. Epiphone cleared his throat and stepped back, he joined the others who were staring at Santiago with sheepish smiles on their faces.
Santiago was made to rest for one hour and thirty minutes before they gave him back his phone. But before giving him his phone Epiphone told him that;
"We have someone watching Mateo, he said Mateo is expecting a big shipment tomorrow, and we are planning on hijacking that operation. We only lost one thousand kilograms of cocaine but we are trying to steal five thousand kilograms from him." He paused wondering if he should tell him what was in his head.
Deciding to tell him, he proceeded, "Boss also, our Mexican supplier is now working with Mateo, she told me that Mateo offered a better deal."
Santiago smirked, he was expecting that, he knew her, she was someone who didn't believe in forming a working bond, she believed in following those who offered a better deal.
"I knew that she'd leave us anytime soon, which is why I was already making arrangements. I've spoken to our Bolivian suppliers and they are making our connections with other Mexican suppliers."
And about that shipment tomorrow, I'll be there and I'm going to make sure that it's a success, Mateo is going to see that messing with me is a bad choice.
Meanwhile, Mateo on the other hand stood inside his warehouse with a cigarette in his hand, he was looking at the stack of cocaine with Bolivia written on it. He smiled, he knew that Santiago would attack him because of this.
After all, they were twin brothers and they thought alike, he knew that Santiago was planning something. He was also planning something of his own, a decoy van. He has already planned a decoy van for tomorrow, they'd follow the van thinking it was the van carrying the shipment.
He left the warehouse and went back to home. He didn't know why he stole those products from him but all he knows is that he wanted to make his brother angry. And maybe to also tell him that he didn't care that he was his brother, he was still going to continue being who has always been.
