Chapter 39: Debt.
"It’s all done." One of the guards spoke as they put the gold bars and money into their backpack.
"It’s sad... who knows how much money is there." Pablo spoke as he looked at the trees, but they needed to get out fast, because the shots were too loud, and second, Linda escaped, and the possibility that somebody would come, let it be police or agents, was too high.
"Don’t worry, I have a man in my mind who has a great debt toward me." Joseph spoke. "So we are going to pay a visit to him."
"Great debt?"
"Yeah, one of my father’s accountants... he was stealing a lot of money, but my father did nothing about it because he held too much power, too many secrets and connections." He looked at him. "But now I am ready to collect back the money."
Something again was different about him... which just confused Pablo even more because he remembered what he said when they went to save him... he wanted to die or at least that’s what he said and was implying, but now he just seemed ready to take back whatever remained of the Cassian family... or more like he was ready to punish those who sent him to prison, all of them who had their hands in it and were still enjoying the benefits of the Cassian family.
The countless money they stole, the connections they made through the family, through his father... he was ready to grab everything from them... and it just excited Pablo even more.
On the other hand, Joseph already accepted the fact that it is what it is... he needed to be a Don, he needed to be exactly who people thought he was. There was no escape from this life and even life... wanted him to be this man... a man who shoots at somebody without any remorse, morality, or feeling in him... and even when he misses all the shots it excites him even more... the thoughts of what is going to happen next? What will be the consequence of this?
Maybe I am... crazy, but this feeling is great... not giving a fuck about anything, how good is it. He thought as he genuinely smiled as he looked up at the sky once again, and with that, they were on the go to find their way out of the forest.
It was something that wasn’t really hard because they went toward the direction that Joseph said and remembered basically, and because the forest itself wasn’t dense, just trees in straight lines, it was easy to find the road that connected to the entrance of the park, but to their surprise, there was nothing.
No sirens, no helicopters, no roadblocks, everything seemed calm and chill, there were even hikers, families, going up on the road not even knowing what happened and it was thanks to Linda and the sheer adrenaline and understanding of the situation in her.
