CHAPTER 249
Chapter 249: The shooter
Grey walked closer, with a big smile plastered across his face. “Let’s see.”
Todd looked up, with a pleasing smile. “Are you sure young man? You will be losing money just like the rest of the men here.” He boasted.
Grey nodded once. “Let’s see how it goes,” he took a seat between the men. The other men were wearing this uncomfortable look and it showed how much they were disappointed.
“How much are you playing with?”
Grey thought for a moment. “Three hundred dollars. I’m obviously not as rich as you are.”
Todd laughed out loud. “That’s fine, young man because you will definitely be losing them all.” He sounded so sure of himself.
Well, Grey didn’t even have the time to learn games because he was too busy working to earn a living.
“So, who’s going first?” Grey asked as he counted the cards to know it was 52.
There was a smile on Todd’s face. “You first, boy. I’m sure these two men will be willing to participate with us,” a look of satisfaction marred his face.
Grey nodded and shuffled the card to his satisfaction. He glanced at the men before he started dealing them out to each player, including himself.
Grey picked up his cards and looked up at Todd. A red dot was suddenly on his red chest. Well, it wasn’t noticeable at first until he concentrated harder. It was really hard to distinguish but there was no
fucking way that wasn’t from a gun. It was a coincidence or the person knew he was wearing a red shirt.
Grey turned backward, but there was no one around. Everyone was busy doing one thing or the others. There were other games around like pools and the rest. There were laughs and chats.
Who was trying to kill Todd? And why?
Grey’s phone vibrated suddenly and a message popped up on his phone from Charles. It read, ‘Boss, are you alright?‘
Grey was unable to answer as he jumped over at Todd, knocking him off the chair. The bullet ran faster and hit a guy behind that was speaking with a lady.
The lady yelled suddenly and the whole place scattered.
“What the fuck just happened?” Todd yelled.
Grey regarded him for a moment. “You need to hide,” he advised.
Just as he stood up, several men emerged from around and moved closer to Todd. They formed a shell around him as some people helped him up. The whole place was destroyed already as everyone was running Helter skelter out of the place.
“Find the shooter!” Todd ordered and some men hurried out of the club.
Charles moved closer to Grey. “How did you know the bullet was coming towards him? I seriously didn’t expect you to be so swift,” he complimented with a slight smile.
Grey wasn’t really interested, his gaze was forward. “Charles, dispersed. We are looking for the shooter. Tell Jimmy and Richard too.”
A frown flickered across Charles‘ face. “Do you even know the kind of gun the shooter used? Todd would
t have survived it. In fact, I don’t think the shooter is anywhere around here. He or she must be outside. What if he shoots again but is aimed at you for disrupting his plan?”
Greg looked at Charles. “Do you think Giovanni would send someone to kill Todd?” And he hurried out of the club without waiting for Charles‘ reply.
Grey hesitated outside before he looked at the door by the right. Some men were entering it and he recognized them as Todd’s men. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Grey shook his head slightly and tried to think. The shooter might already be on his or her way since he missed the target and didn’t want to get caught.
Then, he went to the back of the building, there was no one around. It was getting really late and the moon was the source of light around.
Someone in black attire jumped from the building close by. Grey looked back and followed its retreating
steps.
The man was running so fast that Grey had to Increase his steps as well.
He pulled to a stop suddenly as he stared up at Charles from afar.
“Stay where you are!” Charles boomed.
The shooter regarded him for a moment before he took the adjacent direction. Grey nearly caught him. “Why does it concern you, I don’t think you love Todd so much?” Charles muttered.
“No, I don’t,” Grey affirmed. “But it can either be from me or Giovanni. Though, I doubt it’s from Giovanni. Why would Giovanni send someone to kill Todd?”
“Well,” Charles shrugged slightly. “A lot of reasons. He could be angry at him and Todd could have done something to upset him.”
“Right,” Grey smiled. “And I’m going to find the damn reason why that is.”
The shooter was putting in an overall black, a saggy one that it was impossible to judge if it was a he or
she.
“I will take the other way,” Charles said suddenly and veered away from where they were running to. Grey continued to pursue the shooter until he suddenly pulled to a stop on his own.
Grey stopped as well, though finding it weird that the shooter stopped running suddenly. Was he going to fight with him? He must be so certain of his skill because Grey was sure that he would beat him mercilessly.
“Why?” That tiny voice asked. Somehow, it sounded familiar and yet so strange. Grey couldn’t place it. “Why what? Who are you?” Grey took three long strides closer, to cover up the space a bit and be able to access the shooter very well.
“Why did you save him? Why did you save Todd?” The voice yelled, and it was strained. It felt cracked as well. It sounded like someone who had cried several times or who was suffering from the flu.
“Who are you?” Grey asked again, with a deep voice.
There was no reply for a moment as the hand went over to the black mask that was covering the face. It seems to hesitate or maybe the world stopped for a moment and then it was off.
Grey’s eyes went wide with shock as he regarded Tiana for a moment.
“What the fuck are you doing here? Why are you here?”
Chapter 249 The shooter
Tiana broke down in tears. “You shouldn’t have to save Todd, He deserved it!” She muttered as she cried the more.
“What happened? Why are you doing things I didn’t permit you to? Why can’t you just stay with your son. and see that he’s fit again? You should have left it all for me!” Grey was getting annoyed.
Tiana shook her head slowly. “I can’t. Samson is dead!” She dropped the bombshell. “And Todd killed him! “She cried the more.
Grey’s head almost flew off. Tiana’s son is dead? And Todd killed him?
