Chapter 5
Carl collapsed to the ground while continuing to hold his wife to his chest. Stephanie had left him, but his heart didn't want to accept it. Minutes later, he wiped his tears away. "Luke", he called the chief of security.
The man who was already waiting for his boss's orders in the visitor's hall, at once reached him. "I'm sorry for ma'am's loss, sir."
Carl ignored his condolence and asked sternly. "Who is the culprit?"
Luke looked down. "Sir, it is Devon, the new recruiter. You appointed him a week ago when he said he needed urgent employment because his wife was sick and suffering from cancer. He had allowed this killer inside the mansion, and he is actually Grover's man."
A cluck sound rebelled in the throat of Carl. He held the palm of Stephanie in his and squeezed it. "I expect, you already took care of the bastard." He spat the word with unbridled wrath.
Luke nodded. "He was dead before ma'am passed away."
"Do not call her 'passed away.' She is alive, my Stephanie is much alive. Look, she is sleeping in my arms." Carl strongly admonished.
Luke only nodded and did not say anything. He knew his boss was in shock, he loved his wife very much.
"Get my complete security on an alert. We are shortly going to vandalize everything in Grover." Carl got up with Stephanie in his arms and placed her on the bed gingerly. "Baby, I will come back shortly to take care of you. Sleep till then."
In a jet speed the vehicles reached the premises of Grover's house. One by one the security guards of Carltook their positions and killed each one of Grover's men without a notice in a blink of an eye like lions hunting in ferality.
One of the men took down the revolver in Carl's hand. The latter pummeled his fist into his belly and the man fell to the floor crying in pain.
Like a man possessed by a spirit, Carl barged inside Grover's house. Pulling out the sword attached to a wall in the scabbard; he strode inside the rooms in a wild fury. He cracked somebody's jaw, punched into the belly of someone and stroked the shit out of every minion who came across him.
Carl was now hosting his most uncontrollable beastly state. He kept killing everyone with the sword, thwacking the head out of the body in the cruellest way.
"Please do not kill me. I'm sorry. I made a mistake by killing your wife." Grover fell at his feet asking for mercy.
"Mistake? You made a mistake? You killed my wife and you call it just a mistake? You touch mine, I touch yours. You kill one of my men, I kill ten of yours." Carl kicked Grover with his leg like he was a piece of trash.
He then punched him on his nose. "This is from my wife. Stephanie, are you seeing this? See your killer is weeping here, pleading mercy by falling at my feet. Should I allow him to live? Yes, I know your answer." Carl looked towards the sky and then stared back at Grover who had fallen to the floor and was crying holding his shoes.
He whacked his face with his shoe clad leg like he was playing football. Grover spewed blood from his mouth with the intensity of the stroke.
Carl took the sword and slammed it into his chest repeatedly. His wife was hiding behind the curtains restraining her sobs by clipping her hand to her lips.
Carl pulled the curtain aside and looked at her, his eyes softening. "Don't fear. I'm not unscrupulous like your husband, I don't attack women and children."
Making the path he walked to a burial filled with bleeding bodies, Carl went to the entrance sitting on a huge round shaped rock in the middle of the garden. He looked ahead at the house which now looks no better than sepulture. The sword in his hand was covered in blood with red drops falling on the grass perpetually.
