Chapter 15: Contact with the seller.
Back Yosemite Sam's quarters, the tiny mob boss were sitting at his table using his laptop. He was about to text his contacts around the city.
He had made quarters all around his territories in the city so he always can have an eye of what is happening out there. Every one of these outpost have their own lieutenants who each have the responsibility the territory. Each outpost is heavily armed thanks to his anonymous seller and anyone in the city knows that. No one, not even the little rival gang ruled by Rocky and that second in commands of his, Mugsy, dared to enter the little empire of his. These two crime lords have been fighting for territories for months now and only one will stand in the end. Sam will make sure it would be him.
Sam was about to send a message to the outposts closest to Rocky's territories, that they should prepare themselves for more men and weapons. Since he was about to order an assault. Then suddenly he got a message himself. On the message stood: I want to talk with you, CT.
CT. That's the only thing this seller is called. When he has contact with Sam, these two letters is always showed. And there's never any direct contact, only messages and texting, but the man keeps what he's promising, so that's good enough for Sam. There was though a time were Sam wondered what CT mean, but if just half of what he has heard of this CT is true, it's only wise not to mind his identity.
Sam clicked at the link to the message, which revealed a screen where on the right side showed Sam filmed from the laptops camera, and the left side should have shown this CT, but instead showed the sign: No Image Available.
Under the sign were an empty text box. After some time, the box showed a text.
CT_MY SOURCES TELLS ME THAT YOU HAVE LOST QUITE A NUMBER OF YOUR MEN, AND THE CARGO I SEND TO YOU AS WELL. THAT IT'S UNDER POLICE CUSTODY KNOW.
This CT have eyes and ears everywhere.
"It's just minor problem. I'll deal with it myself, but why are you so interested in that?"
Then more text were shown in the box.
CT_I EXPECT YOU TO HOLD YOUR PART OF OUR AGREMENT, BUT I SEEMS YOU ARE MAKING A POOR JOB. MAYBE I CHOSED THE WRONG BOSS FOR THE TASK.
That made Sam furious.
"What are you saying! That I'm not good enough. I am Yosemite Sam! Already before you made contact with me, I had power and respect. Everyone feared even speaking my name. And if you keep speaking to me like that, I'll make you regret it."
CT_ARE YOU THREATENING ME?
"What are you gonna do about it?"
This CT have a rep for not reacting very well on threats, but right now, Sam didn't care. Nobody treats him like that and gets away with it.
CT_WELL, I COULD START MESSING THAT TIE OF YOURS, BUT I WOULD HATE TO DO THAT, BECAUSE IT LOOKS EXPENSIVE.
Sam looked at the tie on his jacket and saw a little red light. Someone was aiming at him.
CT_REMEMBER THIS, I CHOOSE TO MAKE YOU MORE POWERFULL BECAUSE I COULD SEE THAT EVEN THAT YOU ARE MAN WHO UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CRIMELORD, YOU STILL CRIED FOR HELP. SO I EXPECT MORE GRATITUDE.
"Øhm… Listen, you have my word that I will fulfill my part of the agreement, because I'm about to leading an assault against my little rival Rocky. He'll be out of the picture soon. Then taking this city will be a piece of cake."
CT_SINCE WHEN DID YOU BEGAN TO USE SUCH EXTREME METHODS?
"Rocky and I have been on a race to concur most territories in the city, but we always leaved each other alone, until now. I've lost supplies and quite a number of my men because of him. Now, I've also lost my second-in-command's. If its war that bastard wants, it's war he gets."
CT_WERY WELL, HAVE YOUR FUN. I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
Then the red light on Sam's tie disappeared. He made breathe of relieve, he was surprised as well. No matter how much secured his hideouts are, CT's men always seems to find and access. This man ain't to be joking with.
Outside the building on a rooftop nearby, the man, who was the same tiny man that killed the dog-mob, walked away with a sniper rifle on his back. He just got a message from his boss about a new mission, and he was on his way to fulfill it. The message was CT_CONVERSATION IS OVER. NEW TARGET - LOLA BUNNY.
