Kenny typed a message to one of his closest friends who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked him to find all the information about Natasha, where she was going and the country she was relocating to. He knew that with his friend involved, he would get all the information he wanted with a lot of ease.
In the car, Kenny took out his phone and dialed Zeres' number.
"Buddy, at our usual place," Kenny said a few words. He was a man of few words, and he always talked directly to the point without beating around the bush.
At the other end of the call, Zeres seemed to clearly understand why Kenny wanted them to meet up at their usual place.
Zeres shrugged, then asked, "At what time? "
"Now." Kenny did not wait for him to finish speaking. He spat one word.
Zeres could not stop talking. "Got any updates?" he asked.
"Too many questions," Kenny said, then ended the call.
At the driver's seat, the anxious Kata had now calmed down. His lips curled into a smile when he heard how his boss talked on the phone.
"What is funny?" In the rearview, Kenny was carefully observing him.
"I'm sorry, boss...nothing.... I'm sorry," Kata quickly apologized with his hand shaking.
Looking at how Kata behaved, Kenny could not control himself from chuckling," Why smiling then?" Kenny continued.
"But, you are smiling too, boss," Kata spoke in an almost whispering voice.
Kenny didn't talk for a while, and Kata thought that he had escaped his death.
And when he was just about to relax, he heard his boss's voice again.
"You didn't answer my question, Kata."
What question was he talking about? What was wrong with his boss? Why was his mood changing so quickly? His boss was going to be the cause of his death one day.
Kara quickly forced a smile on his face," Boss, I just remembered how my grandmother used to prepare yummy cassava for me."
"Then?" Kenny asked.
Then what? Kata hadn't thought about his lie well. He thought that his boss wasn't even listening to him.
His heart was thumping hard, and the car started swaying on the road.
"Focus on driving," he heard Kenny's low voice.
"Okay, okay, sir, thank you, sir."
Thanks to the car, he just escaped death.
Kenny smiled, then took out his phone and concentrated on it.
In about one hour, the car stopped in front of a mansion located on the outskirts of the town. This is the place where Kenny and Zeres would meet often. Kenny liked this place very much because it was far away from the city center, it had a calm and quiet environment, with a swimming pool, a computer room where he could do his work, a gym for workout and a river flowing behind the park for fishing.
Kenny was busy focusing on a certain photo on his screen. This was a photo of him and Natasha. He took the photo when she was asleep and she didn't know about it. He looked at her milky white skin, and his fingers caressed her beautiful face on the screen. He felt pain in his heart the more he looked at her. Suddenly, he saw a wet patch on the screen. He was surprised to realize that it was a tear drop. He didn't know whose tears it was.
"Sir, we are here," Kata spoke, but Kenny didn't respond.
"Boss, boss, boss, we are here," Kata repeated, this time around in a louder voice.
"Oooh, ohh, okey, we...are...here," Kenny was brought back to reality. He picked up his phone, got out of the car and walked towards the mansion.
....
Back near the mansion, after Kenny's car left, the mysterious man went towards a restaurant which was located not far from the mansion.
He took off his large rimmed eyeglasses and placed them on the table. A few minutes later, another young man came into the same restaurant and sat beside the middle-aged man.
"How did it go?" the young man asked as he picked up a bottle of water and uncapped it to drink.
The middle-aged man had a sarcastic smile on his face." As planned," he answered, paused, then continued," He picked up the paper, and he seemed very happy."
"Then what happened? Did he still follow her?" The young man asked.
"Why would he follow her when he thinks he got the solution to what he wants the most? He left the place and went in the opposite direction. I think he is in a rush to go to that location."
The young man gulped down another mouthful of water." He is a stupid man. It seems as if I have been overestimating his intelligence from the very beginning."
The middle-aged man was deep in thought. He didn't hear what the young man had just said, so he didn't respond.
"What are you thinking about? Do you still want to work with me or not?" The young man asked in an unpleasant voice.
The middle-aged man nodded his head," Okay, I just lost my train of thought. Yes, he is stupid; he fell into our trap that easily."
The young man stood up and went towards the window. He looked outside as he enjoyed the beauty of the scene. "I hate Kenny, I hate him very much, I hate him...."
The middle-aged man was still confused, he couldn't understand why this man hated the so-called Kenny that much. He had never mentioned to him why he hated him, but he had never failed to mention his hatred for Kenny every time the two met.
He once tried asking him what the cause of his hatred was, and the young man was very mad at him. He had never brought up that topic again, but what he knew was that the young man's hatred towards Kenny was very deep.
"So, what should we do next?" The middle-aged man asked to avoid the awkwardness.
"Just wait for my instructions, don't try to do anything stupid or else it would mess up the whole plan."
The middle-aged man nodded his head in agreement. He wasn't sure what he would be instructed to do next, or in the future. He just wanted everything to get done so that he could get the money he wanted.
