Carl was wondering if he had become some kind of a computer expert since he changed information on a national database easily or maybe the security wasn"t that strong, anyway the country needed to up their ITC security. His thoughts were interrupted when the waiter served their food."Close down your bank accounts, create new ones with your new details, preferably in another bank and then break your sim cards.. on second thought, your phones too. You"ll need to look for a new place to live..."
He stopped to continue eating his food.
"That"s right, before I forget, compile a list of every member of the gang with their basic information, it should contain their strengths and weaknesses, I want it delivered within the month."
Allan was listening to every instruction Carl was giving, meanwhile his brother was concentrating on the food, like his life depended on it. Carl took notice of his action but didn"t point it out, he made a mental note to teach him a lesson. Allan who saw Carl"s gaze on Allen immediately nudged him, however, it seemed he was prepared to die with the food.
"Ask the members to lay low for 3 months, there"ll be a meeting on the 1st day of September. Before that, I want you to put them to a test, to see if there are spies.." before Carl could conclude Allen interrupted him.
"Spies?! What do you mean spies? We are all brothers, why would there be spies?" Allen was angered by Carl"s instruction, he blurtted out without thinking. Allan on the other hand knew it was a possibility. He wanted to caution his brother, when he saw Carl"s eyes, he decided otherwise.
Allan was the smarter brother, Allen on the other hand was brawny. Saying he lacked common sense wouldn"t be an exaggeration. He was quite naive, though he had experienced the hardship of life.
Carl realized that he should make his authority known sooner else he would only bite himself.
"If there are no spies, I"ll give back the doc.u.ments, you can take it like we never met, however, if I"m right, you"d have to swear your allegiance to me, you"ll act in accordance with my instructions, no questions asked. However, this is the only chance I"ll give to you, there"ll be no next time. The consequences will be severe." He finished off.
Allen caught his eyes, he knew Carl was serious. He began doubting himself, "maybe there are, but how could that be? We"re all close.." while he was questioning the loyalty of his "brothers", Carl put down his cutlery.
"I"ll fix the problem with the businesses, as for the test, Allan you know what to do, do not tell them about my existence yet and if those caught by the police are trustworthy, get some of the others to bail them out, if possible."
Carl immediately stood up and handed an envelope containing the money to Allan. Then he gave a quick reminder, "Remember the timeframe to accomplish each task, I"ll be in contact."
A few minutes after he left, the two brothers located a store to get new phones and sim cards as instructed by Carl. They immediately got the clothes and found their way to a bank.

Carl began working on the legalities of the companies, firstly, he registered them all under Gla.s.s Holdings. He was able to complete it under a week after which he called for the brothers and a.s.signed them new duties.
They were to provide a comprehensive report of every company. And after which he would proceed to make amendments to the working arrangements and also hire a few persons.
It was the end of another stressful day, all he wanted to do was to go back home to Kim. Yes, home, she was becoming his home, whether he chose to admit it or not.
