You will be blowing up your cover yourself

||Unknown Unknown||

I smiled.

The type of smile that hold suspense and smirk.

Hardie. He is the cause of my smile. Wait? What was he thinking? That he'll be able to get information about me? Did he think capturing and torturing my men will make them rat me out?

He is hell wrong if he thinks doing all those will make them rat me out. I own my men and I have full right over their lives and families', they are expected to obey my order to the fullest even if it means loosing their own lives.

You call it loyalty? No, cause no one is loyal this. You only use what you have to get what you want.

"Any new information about the president?" I asked as I puffed out huge smoke from my nostrils.

"For now, there isn't any. We are still looking out for any changes, boss." Jade replied.

"You can go, get me updated if there's any..." I waved my hand at him to dismiss him. He gave a shirt nod and walked out.

I just need to be on my best watch and make sure nothing goes wrong this time around.

I checked my time17:20hrs.

"The president sent a message." Lincoln said from behind. "Are you still changing plans?"

"Ignore his message for now."

"We should ignore his message, what if he get annoyed and call off the deal?" Lincoln raised his brows.

"There are still tons of deal I will be getting in the future, so?" I shrugged.

"Its your shii, deal with it." He muttered.

"Yeah..." I scoffs and lay my head lazily on the couch, with my hand beneath it.

I already made plan for the meet up with president.

I just have to be extra careful now that I'm in a mess, I can't afford to loose any of what I worked day and night for. Nah, I won't sit and watch it happen.

I trailed behind the jeep, leaving no suspicious move. I have to be clean with this and avoid any mistakes to get caught. The jeep was tinted so I didn't get to see the numbers of occupants in it.

After half an hour of trailing, the jeep was ushered into a big hotel as it was parked. I did same but parked few feet from the jeep. The occupant step down in his grace but something seems off.

This isn't who I was supposed to see.

What happened? Did I miss something I'm not suppose to miss?

I wound down my car's window and I was lucky to hear his conversation with another guy.

"Is the president in?" The jeep occupant asked, his voice holding authority.

"Yeah. Sorry who are you?"

"I have an appointment with the president in the next few minutes."

"Guess you are wrong, the only person I was asked to let in was Hardie and you don't look one bit like him."

The jeep occupant brought out his phone and in few seconds he speaks into it. "Guess you need to have a chat with your men."

"Let him in, I changed my mind with Hardie. The guy outside is a way more better than him."

"Fine. I'll lead the way."

.

"Shii, this isn't going well as planned." I groaned as I hit the car's starring. "When did the president choose another dealer?"

"Hey, boss. Something seems off here." I said into the phone after dialing my boss digit.

"What is it?"

"The guy getting the deal wasn't Hardie, heard he won't be getting it any more."

"What shii are you telling me?" Boss raged over the phone. "When did it happen?"

"Just now, boss. I saw with my own eyes." I sighed.

"Arrgh..." with that the line went off.

"Guess my job is done here then..."

In a total disguise as one of his men, I lead Lincoln into the inner basement where the president is.

"Hey." The president smiled at him. "I was surprised to hear He won't be coming. He sent you cause you are up to the task, right?"

"I've deal with a lot of shii before, yours won't give a problem. So?" Lincoln didn't spare him a glance as he sat without being invited to. "Let's get on with the deal."

"Hmph..." the president scoffs at his reaction. "I'll be needing guns and drugs, the election will be starting soon."

"I know.." Lincoln countered with wearing any expression. His face was void. "How in bulks do you need them?"

"Here." Lincoln was handed a white sheet of paper as he read through it with a satisfying look.

"Guess we don't have to say much then." The president said. "When is it getting ready?"

"We'll be sure to contact you when its ready." Lincoln replied. "Only when Hardie get his pay..." his last statement was in a whisper and he was wearing a stoic expression.

"Yeah, I know."

"Good." Lincoln stood up and adjust his suit. "Let's call it a day then." He walked out with an aura of darkness.

I caught up with his pace. "You did a nice job down there."

"I've always been clean and successful with any task assigned to me, this doesn't look like a task to me. We only talk a few words and we done." He voice was hard as steel.

I laughed. "Drop your aura, you can't be acting like this with me."

"For now, remember you still one of my men and act properly. I won't be dropping my aura either." He lips curved up in a smirk.

"Seriously, Lincoln. You men?" I scoffs.

"Yeah. If you drop your pretence you will be blowing up your cover yourself. I bet you never want that to happen, or do you?" He grinned darkly. Of course he knows I would never want that to happen.

Arrgh, this guy!

"Fine. We'll talk when we get home then, boss?" I mimicked.

He glared at me but says nothing and he entered the car. I hopped in and he drove out in a death speed like he always does.
