CHAPTER 25: A NEW COMRADE?

The whole building was in chaos, some of the caliber mafia guards who were with us earlier told us to tend to the hurt and that they would handle the situation at hand.

"Ma'am I suggest you stay here and we'll handle everything. Mr. Trazona would get worried if he finds out about this,"

"Don't tell him anything yet, and I'm coming along. He protected me, I need to make sure he's fine,"

Well, I'm not really worried, I just need to confirm something. Amor didn't have a choice and went with what I said.

Lincoln was rushed to the hospital and tended to his wound. I waited outside and looked at my surroundings to check if there was anyone suspicious before calling Hudson.

"You called?"

"You saw what happened earlier right? What can you say about that?"

"Well, it looks like everything was planned. From the moment he went earlier than his schedule and the timing of that bullet, it was shot somewhere near you probably the next building." Hudson explained.

As expected, that man was up to no good.

"He was not hiding his expression very well earlier; do you think he's a new agent?"

"Hmm, I ran a few background checks on him earlier and didn't find any trace of him being involved in gangs, mafias or any organization," What?

"So, he acted on his own? So that's why the plan was so sloppy,"

Then why did he do it? Does he know Kamila? I'll have to know later after he wakes up.

I ended the call when the doctor came out and told us we can now see the patient.

I told Amor to leave us both alone for the time being. I sat next to the bed and crossed my legs.

"I know you're awake," I said.

Lincoln opened his eyes and even got up on his own.

"I see your so full of energy after being operated on, or were you even really shot?"

Lincoln clicked his tongue and fished out a gun under the blanket.

"What are you going to do? Kill me?!" he yelled.

It's a good thing I asked for a soundproofed room instead of an original one.

"Just tell me the reason why you did that and I'll spare your life," I said trying to control my patience.

Lincoln didn't utter a single word after I said that so I assume he didn't want to cooperate but I was stunned to see him crying.

What kind of trickery is this? You can't convince me with anything with crying. My heart is as hard as steel.

"It's my fault," he suddenly said.

What is?

"You were looking into this man weren't you?" He said and suddenly fished out a photo of me on my past life.

Why does he have that? what is it does he really wants?

"So what? What does that have anything to do with you and what happened earlier?" I said sternly.

Lincoln sighed and calmed himself before speaking, "I'm Lucas's biological brother,"

Why is he lying?

"I know pretty much well that you aren't,"

"I am telling the truth, Miss Kamila,"

"Let's say you really are, then what? That still didn't answer the question," I said and crossed my arms.

"My sibling suddenly went missing a month ago," He started.

Oh right, I may have died on that news from the newspaper but that didn't say anything about me at all. The person who died was Aizen the famous assassin and not Luca.

"My parents didn't care but he's been gone for too long, and then I happened to hear about your conversation with your husband about my brother,"

That must be back at the grocery store...

"I tried to get close through your husband but my attempts failed," Wait was he the one who was following us way back on the yacht incident?

"So, this time I wanted to try with you next. I don't know how I'd do that so I went along with a plan like this." Well, that answers the question.

"I thought you'd be touched by the heroic action I did but it turns out that you're the same as your husband. You might have sniffed through my plan in the beginning but I still went and did it," Well he's not wrong.

I tilted my head and looked at him, "So why did you do it? Answer it and stop wasting my time Lincoln,"

Lincoln suddenly smiled and caught me off guard. "You talk just like my brother, he reminds me of you,"

What the bloody hell is he on about?! As if he was a good stepbrother, to begin with! We're not even that close before! Why is he acting like this now?!

"Your brother is dead," I plainly said.

His smile disappeared as he gripped his blanket tightly. "I know that, but I'm still hoping he's alive,"

He knew?

"Then why?" I asked angrily.

Lincoln heaved a deep sigh and faced me. "I want to avenge my brother, help me," he asked in determination.

"And why do you think I'll do that?"

"You're investigating about his death, right? Let me help you!"

"What can you possibly do? Your plan was sloppy, and you're stunt earlier was so obvious," I said frankly.

"Because I did that on my own. But I have very skilled men, you can use them anytime you want."

"You what?"

"I established a group called the night howlers, if you're in the same industry as your husband I know you know them,"

Who wouldn't know about the night howlers? They're an underground organization filled with members who kill for money. Their Hitlers and are pretty much second to the best since Keegan's organization is at first.

But if he has an organization like that, then how come he hasn't solved the mystery of my death yet?

"If you're thinking why I haven't found any lead then the question lies to your husband,"

Isaac?

"He's blocking everything that may lead us to the right track. My team and I are the reason he's on a business trip right now, just so I could have this conversation with you right now. But knowing your husband I'm sure he might have noticed it quickly and is on his way back right now. Considering the distance, he'll be back by tomorrow afternoon. So, I only have today to convince you to join me, "

Why is it that every time I trust Isaac there always pops up a reason for me to doubt him?

Does he really have anything to do with my death?

" I'm not saying I'll join you, but I'll think about it. For now, stick to your role and stay as the new partner for that upcoming game we'll do everything in my command so don't do anything until I say anything, "

Lincoln nodded so I excused myself and contacted Hudson.

" You heard that right? "

" Yup, I'm on it, "

" You think his information is credible? Frankly, I'm doubting it, "

"Unfortunately, yes, everything he said was true,"

"Including the fact that he's my biological brother?"

"Yeah, that too,"

How?

"Anyway, Trazona is on his way home right now. He took his private plane so he's coming home a bit early of schedule,"

"Was Lincoln right about that too?"

"Well, no. Isaac Blaze Trazona already landed and is on his way to you right now. Phew! Talking about possessive! Your husband is one jealous fella,"

"He's not jealous, he's just cautious,"

"Yeah right, do you wanna see his veins popping out right now? He just received a photo of you hugging a man, on top of that there's blood on you. Dang! He must be deadly jealous and worried right now,"

My brows crinkled, "Shut up,"

Hudson chuckled and replied, "HAHAHA! He's there! Good luck Aizen! Show me a lovely show!" I forcefully ended the call and turned it off.

Just after I was going to turn around, I was enveloped in a warm embrace.

"You're not hurt?"

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be on a business trip?" I asked obliviously even though I knew the answer.

"Where's that man?" He ignored what I said and was looking everywhere like a hound dog.

And then as if he got a dog's sniffing sense he found which room Lincoln was staying at.

His brows instantly met together when he saw it was soundproofed. He entered the room and was about to lash out at the poor guy when I stopped him.

"Don't, he saved me," I said.

Isaac glanced at me and then at Lincoln, "Leave this guy to Logan, let's go," he said and grabbed my hand.

I looked at my hand and this man. Am I forgetting something? Why am I being dragged away like this?

But then he suddenly stopped and looked at me at the side of his eye, "Don't go near that man, he's dangerous,"

Well, if we're going to compare then you're more dangerous than him Isaac Blaze Trazona.
