Chapter 48: Givenchy
2 weeks ago.
Levi and Marco ran through the dark alleys that late Tuesday evening. They just lost their target in a corner, right or left they don’t know which way the bastard ran.
The two exchanged a look deciding to separate; Levi takes the left, Marco takes the right.
Marco pants, his breath fogging with each breath. His long legs take him even faster, farther, ready to face their target anytime.
They had been chasing a man named Rudolph Murphy.
His ex-girlfriend Charlize Ang had placed a restraining order against him after he assaulted her 2 months previously. She stayed in the hospital for two weeks from a cracked rib, and a dislocated shoulder, two black eyes, and several bruises after he beat her up in their little flat in Haringey.
But Rudolph Murphy refused to cooperate, he had been going against the restraining order since she had been discharged from the Hospital. Pleading that she take him back and give him another chance. And with the constant calls from Charlize to report the breach in restraining order, the CID had been fed up with having arrived every time to her flat with no trace of Rudolph.
In hopes of getting a better solution, Charlize decided to employ Jackson Detective’s help. She had placed herself under surveillance, for evidence of the breach of the restraining order.
Lo and behold, Rudolph shows up on the third day. Breaking in the woman’s flat.
Usually, Levi cannot be bothered with surveillance; he found it too tedious. He hated waiting the most. The boys were usually assigned to do such things.
But in Levi’s luck that third day, Marco had insisted they go together instead of Joe. To get his mind off gambling after receiving death threats from a guy named Erik Tarasovich.
Erik Tarasovich is a small-time Russian gangster living in Central London, the two had met in an underground poker game. He claimed that Levi ’cheated’ him 5000£ in one sitting last week.
