"Ralph ?"

"Yes sir ?"

"How is security dealing with our little problem ?"

"He is being detained as we speak"

"Good. Hold him there, I'd like to have a word with him"

"Of course sir, if you'd follow me"

Somewhere (undisclosed location)....

I meet with the head of my security team Isamu, the best in the world and dangerous, my type of guy.

"Thank you Isamu, for bringing me this vermin"

"It was my pleasure sir"

As I turn my head all my anger is concentrated on the worthless scum in front of me. To think he even stepped foot in my company, let alone being in the same room as him.

" Good old Pete Havenson"

I see the fear and panic in his eyes. There's something about watching a man cower in fear that is sort of invigorating.

"P-PLEASE L-LET ME G-GO, I'll G-GIVE YOU ANYTHI ..."

"No"

"B-But, m-man please it was my m-mistake, I-t won't happen aga....."

"Stop speaking"

"Now the fact that you even showed up tonight, means you had no idea I knew"

"L-look I-i didn't mean to, f-for real, j-ist ..."

"Your failed attempts to steal, sell 'secrets' and expose me. It ends. Here. Right Now"

"Boss, shall I silence him"

I watch this poor excuse of a man quiver, darting his eyes from Isamu to me.

"Isamu, although that is a tempting offer. It won't be necessary"

"You see Pete, the money you tried to steal and launder from me, I already have back. You're going to have to try harder than hacking my computer"

"N-No y-you can't do this, p-people w-will l-look for me"

"I wouldn't be so sure Pete. Before we hand you over to the authorities, Isamu personally wants to issue an official first and last warning"

"Nooo.. Aarghh, S -ST...p, P-please..."

............

"Ralph, contact Bennett, tell him to come get this sick excuse of a human"

"Yes sir"

People have tried. People still keep trying, but in the end it's always their demise.

"And also Ralph"

"Yes sir"

"I'll be heading back to Headquarters then back home , notify me when he's been dealt with"

"Of course sir"

"And one more thing"

"Yes sir ?"

"This Tia Rose girl, I want to know more"

Exiting the building into my car, I finish the my last cigarette, some say it's a dirty habit but I've never cared for opinions.
