Chapter.. 2
10 days later
The group standing in a big underground base. Zed threw a USB to Sergei "That's Goro's whole fortune... Working with you is so good"
"Who are we waiting for, Sergei?" Vivian said in concern
Zed moaned "let's hurry up with the party... It has been a long time since we pulled a piece of cake missions"
"Zed is right, There is no way that Goro could be fooled that easily. I don't have a good feeling about that" Vivian said while walking away
"Where are you going my dear?" A short -baldy yet muscled- man came in with around 30 guards surrounding them... "Where the hell is my money, you imbeciles?"
"What is he doing here?" Zed asked while Vivian walked away tried to run but got caught
Goro walked to Sergei
"You... You stole from me!"
"Here you are" Sergei bowed nicely offering 2 USBs
"What! I don't understand" Goro inquired
"So let me explain... But I don't think Its the Right place for doing business"
In somewhere brighter, At a cafe by the street The others were held captives while Goro is listening to Sergei's words "You knew Rose Foundation?"
"Yes that's Shiratori-san's... company! That went bankrupt 5 days ago, don't tell me It was you rascals"
Sergei smiled "He was your biggest Opponent, now only you can be undisputed in the Markets"
"You.. How?"
"Just like you, I introduced myself as a newbie businessman & had some meetings with you, took your voice tone, fingerprints we delayed your departure today, stole your codes, Hacked your system, Withdrawing your fortune. Easy, right?"
The man with evil grin "And why do you tell me all of this ?"
"I'm job-hunting, Right now"
"Hahaha, What do you need.. more money ?"
"No, Protection. Working with someone like Goro-san is very big move for us"
"Why should I hire you If I had what I want right now?"
"Cuz you're no fool to make the same mistake Shiratori did & Give it a thought.. What could happen if I robbed you 5 hours earlier?"
Goro's eyes widened in fear "The arms deal?"
"Yes your arms Deal could went dramatically bad & you would be dead by now"
"Okay Kiddo, I hire you"
Call me "Sergei"
Sergei walked away waving to his gang
Goro waved to his Right man "Get me everything, we knew about him"
At the bar- After hearing the whole thing-
"You plotted all of that" Zed shouted in surprise
Vivian stood & smiled "When you need me again, you knew where you find me"
Zed said while playing with money "Sergei, I'll follow you forever"
"If that so, So you can call me Beck"
"So what now, Beck?"
"Now We wait for orders, Hhhh"
At another Door... (Knock knock)
"Who is this?" A 49-years old woman -but she didn't seem 49 at all- went to see who is knocking at her door in this morning
"Its me Beck"
The -beautiful round face short- woman opened the door welcoming him happily
"Come in, How have you been?"
"Fine, here you are" He gave her a small case
"Not again Beck, I can't accept so much money from you"
"Its from Shifu, Suda-san. This was his last wish"
"Chin Lee! I wake up every morning hoping he'll be back someday but..."
Beck tried to cheer her up "How is Irie-san?"
"She went out early for her job"
"Lucky me, I haven't breakfast this morning" ?
"Hhhhh, You're really the worst"
"And you are the best cook. Feed me" He asked with eyes-cat look on his face
After noon, A beautiful young woman around 23 years old with silky brown hair and brave-hearted, courageous personality came in "I'm home, Mom" she took off her jacket
"How was your day?"
"Very bad, couldn't get even a single interview with that Shiratori-san"
"Okay, come. lunch will be ready in mins."
"Wow... This money Did He come again? Didn't I tell you I really wanna see him this time, He always drops by whenever I'm not round!"
"Yeah; He knew If you caught him, you'll keep asking questions"
"No, I won't. I am just... about father"
"Your father was good man, He spent all of his life fighting corruption & evil"
"I knew that's why I became a reporter... Mom, What's this smell?"
"Ahh, The food!" ?
"Goro-san the files you wanted, You were right That Sergei is the Famous Sergei, The PHOENIX"
"Really?... So Give him a call & ask him to get me that thing"
"You sure about that, Red Thompson has it"
"I want to see it myself, How the phoenix resurrect itself after death, Kukuku"

"Where is the boy?"
"They got him" She said giving him her back uncaringly
"And you let them?" He shouted
