Ethan woke up late but he didn"t see Stacy beside her. Their butler said that she went out early in the morning after she came back from her morning jogging. Where could she be on her day-off? Ethan asked his self.Ethan just finished with his shower when he received a call from Shawn, the head of his security men.
"We are able to get some information from the men, Sir." Shawn reported.
"Okay good. I"m coming." Ethan answered before he disconnects the call.
He also asked Mr. Tanner to bring Eli at the ancestral mansion before he left the house. Ethan together with Larry drove to one of their retreat house where their men usually stays and trains. Their retreat house seems ordinary but when you go underground, it looks like a military base.
Mr. Shawn meets Ethan and Larry at the entrance gate then they went directly to the underground where some men are being kept and tortured. There were three men tied in a chair. One would feel pity for them at first glance since they are covered with sweat and blood. Larry wants to throw up but he tried to maintain his composure.
Ethan dismissed the people inside the cell then he sat opposite the prisoner.
"Tell me, who are you?" Ethan asks the weak man in front of him.
"Who I am is not important. I am bounty hunter." Ethan was shocked. Bounty hunter? Do they only work in the underground world? But why are they doing here? Ethan has a lot of questions.
"Does that mean that these men with you are also bounty hunters?" Ethan inquired.
As far as he remembers, they got these people when they followed Stacy. These people attacked her before.
That night, he is about to fetch Stacy but he received a call that she won"t be able to go home with him. Ethan is about to go home when he saw Stacy got out from the building and she"s acting weird so he asked Larry to follow her. he saw her went inside a pet shop then came out holding something. it"s getting weirder so they kept following her. they saw the cab stopped in a corner so to avoid being seen, the black SUV that Ethan used was parked in a distance.
He observed Stacy at first.
Why is she wearing a mask? He was confused. He was watching her closely. Then he was surprised when Stacy knocked those two men before running towards a certain apartment. What is she doing? He thought.
He ordered Larry to bring out his gun hidden carefully inside the car then call for back up silently.
He can"t see Stacy anymore so he got off the car and tried to approached the two bodies lying on the ground. He felt their pulses, good thing they"re not dead! Then he heard some clatters at one of the apartment rooms. He is about to follow Stacy inside but he saw the apartment room at the 3rd floor lit up. He can see a shadow of a girl? No it"s a woman! and four men? She is cornered!
Stacy!
Ethan was alarmed when he saw Stacy jump out the window. d.a.m.n! He wanted to approach and help her so bad but he halted. He can"t afford to be seen!
Baanggggg! He shoots the guy on the window who is about to pull the trigger. Then he tried to shoot the others but they already ducked. When he saw that Stacy already runoff, He called his men to seized those armed guys. They bought them at their retreat house for interrogation.
Does Stacy usually do these kinds of stuffs? He doesn"t really know. He"s not sure either. But he needs to find out why. He s.h.i.+fts his gaze to the bounty hunters.
"Why are you here? What do you need from Stacy?" Ethan continued.
"Stacy?" The guy questioned. "Who is she?" he creased a brow.
"Don"t tell me you do not know the woman you"re about to kill that night?" Ethan is losing his patience.
"Ohhh! Aisha! I didn"t know she has a lot of persona. No wonder we had a hard time catching her." the man laughs.
"What do you need from her?" Ethan"s voice is filled with anger.
"Why do I have to tell you? I thought you knew her? you should have known the reason." The man was testing him.
Ethan grab him in the collar. "Don"t try my patience b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Cause I can kill you if I wanted to!" he threatened him before he let go of him
"Once again let me ask you, what do you need from her?!" he punch the desk.
"Even if you kill me, it doesn"t change the fact that Aisha is the most precious target of all time in the underworld. Her life has the highest bounty. So even if you kill me, there are more bounty hunters coming after her!" The guy laughs crazily.
"Why?! why her?!" Ethan is aggravated.
"Don"t you know that she is a Mafia Heiress?" the hunter answered. Ethan was stunned. He just can"t believe what he heard. Ethan knew that she"s different but he never knew these things about her.
"What did you say? Can you tell me more?" Ethan probed.
