The Last Deal



Harry attended a birthday party of his cousin Rose at Burton road London. At the party, Harry had a clash with a man named Harold. The clash occurred between them because of a beautiful girl of about nineteen years old. They were both highly interested in her and wished to dance with her. Her name is Cecilia.

There on the dancing floor, Cecilia rejected their request to dance with her.
As Harry and Harold were going back to their seats, they were both attracted to a man called Sir Oxford who was coming out of a car with a briefcase in his hand. "Watch that man, I guessed something good will be in his briefcase," said Harold. Harry told him to be careful because some serious securities are behind him. So he said they should wait and watch till he comes out.
Where they both hide while waiting for the man to come out of the building he entered they introduced themselves to each other and agreed to share whatever they find in the briefcase 50/50 if they succeeded.

They planned on what to do and how to go about it. Harold agreed to distract the man and his bodyguards so Harry can attack the man from behind and run away with the briefcase.
A few minutes later, the man with his bodyguards came out of the building and entered his car. As his driver was about to move the car, he saw an unconscious man lying on the ground in front of the car. Sir Oxford with his driver and bodyguards came down of the car with its doors opened while the briefcase was on the car back seat to check the man lying on the ground in front of their car.
They noticed he is not a dead man but look very unconscious. The two bodyguards carried him from the front of the car to the side of the road so their car can pass.
When they returned to their car they couldn't found the briefcase in the car again and checking around maybe they can find anyone to suspect they noticed the man they carried to the roadside was no more there then they knew it was a setup.

Sir Oxford became hot-tempered. He shouted severally while the two bodyguards brought out the pistols and ran up and down the whole area but no one was found.

Immediately Harry and Harold succeeded in taking the briefcase, they board a taxi which took them far away to Anton hotel where they lodged. They both counted the whole dollars and shared them as earlier agreed.
Harold wasn't satisfied because he wished the whole money to be for him alone. He told harry he wanted to check the hotel bar to see if he can get classic wine so they can celebrate. After he left for the bar, Harry thought of how the whole money could be for him alone so he can buy a house, cars, and live like a big boy. As he was thinking of how he could kill Harold since he had no gun to shoot or knife to stab him then Harold came in with the barman carrying some wines.
Harry and Harold cheered together their drinks as they gist and laugh. A few minutes later Harry became unconscious and later died. Harold became very happy as he succeeded in killing Harry because the whole money now belongs to him alone.

Harold immediately packed the whole money and left the hotel leaving Harry dead body in the hotel room. Harold hired a taxi to the city and after he had stayed a week in the city of London he left and settled in Canada.

When he got to Canada, he bought a new house, four big cars and spent much on drugs, gambling, drinks, and prostitution. He recruited other men to join him as he formed a gang. He enjoyed the easy-going life which yielded him much money. People come to him to buy drugs or for any other criminal case like assassination.

One day, a man from china named Jardise visited him with a huge sum of American dollars. Two of the newly recruited men of the Harold gang hosted the Chinese man. The two men stole the Chinese man's money and bolted away with it in the night. The following morning the Chinese man found the box he kept his entire money empty and couldn't also found the two men that attended to him.

He rushed to Harold and confronted him about what his men did to him. "You people never told me you also rob your customers too", said Jardise. Harold asked him what he means by talking to him the way he did. Jardise explained all the entire money he brought has been missing from where he kept them. Even your two men that attended to me last night are nowhere to be found this morning.

Immediately Harold pressed his call bell and all of his men came out to him. It was there he found out two of his men were missing. He asked if the two missing men but one of his men told him he saw the late-night going out and when he approached them they told him Harold sent them on a mission. "Did they carry anything when you saw them?" asked Harold. "Yes, they carried a bag of ammunition.

Immediately Harold knew the two men used the bag of ammunition to carry the money and escaped. He became furious and with annoyance, he brought out his revolver from his pocket and shot those that told him they saw them be couldn't stop them. Seeing what Harold did, Jardise too brought out his pistol and shot Harold on his skull before killing himself.

THE END
