The Game

Chapter Seventeen - Change of Command

“Oh, he went out to get some coffee.” Martin smiled, “Do you want some? I can call him.”

“No thanks.” Rose smiled and turned to look at the map. “Did you guys let that kid go? What was his name? Dick?”

“Derek. Yes, he is out...” Martin answered. “Rose, I need to tell you something.”

Rose turned back to Martin. “Yeah?” she raised an eyebrow.

“We have another boss.” Marvin answered, his voice was kind of sad.

Rose wasn't shocked by that, but she wondered why he would tell her that now.

“When my brother comes back, he will kill you.” Martin continued “You have to go...”

“I won't let him do that.” Rose answered, “And why are you telling me this? I mean, you are his brother.”

“Because I don't think you have to die for us to get the control. And at the end, for our boss.”

“Who is your boss?” Rose asked, she didn't plan leaving.

“If you go now, you might get the chance to see him someday. But you have to go.”

“I think I can easily beat a man like your brother.” Rose asked again “Who. Is. Your. Boss?”

“He is a professional killer, he will kill you.”

“With that body? I doubt it. Now answer my question.” she was getting mad.

“I don't know!” Martin sighed “It's my brother he contacts to, it's him who makes the plans. Please just go.”

“I am not leaving!” Rose raised her voice, crossing her arms.

Martin reached inside his jacket and pulled out a tiny revolver. “Then I'm going to kill you.”

“You can't shoot me!” Rose didn't move.

Martin raised an eyebrow “And why is that?”

“SECURITY!” Rose yelled, she tried not to look scared.

Greg and another security guard rushed in. They saw Martin and quickly grabbed their guns.

“Get him and his brother out of this building!” Rose commanded them. The guards didn't move. “Do it!”

“I'm sorry, Rose. They work for us.” Martin gave a sad smile. “Greg, escort Ms Greebe out, don't let my brother see her. Use the back door. Then drop her off at her sisters house. Don't let her escape. And Brock, you get the look alike. Let's make my brother believe I killed her.”

Greg walked up to Rose and grabbed her by the arm. Started to walk her out. Fighting back would be no use. She knew that.

“I knew I couldn't trust you!” Rose yelled at Greg when he dragged her on the empty hallway.

“You should have fired me then.” Greg was smiling, they arrived the stairs and started to go down.

“I thought about it but I felt bad for you.” Rose answered narrowing her eyes. She pulled her arm away from Greg's hand. She kept walking.

Greg sighed “Well, you know me...”

“I don't want to but I sadly do. You used to use your second name though, right?”

He rolled his eyes “Yes... It's weird how we got connected from way back. With Claire and all. Though, I guess Claire changed sides.”

“She didn't!” Rose burst.
