Kerrick received the details of the mission from Joe soon after accepting it.
It was a very detailed document on Steven. Not only was there information about Nirina himself, but there was also everything one could find about his address and such.
Joe was right about these people doing this for a living.
The gang members arrived at their secret base where there were all sorts of tools and weapons they had created for different situations.
Kerrick looked at his subordinates and said, “Have all of you read through the mission details? They don’t want his life, but they want him incapacitated and unable to say anything. We have the green light to cripple, mute or blind him.”
“Yes, Boss!” Kerrick’s subordinates started to gather what they need immediately.
Kerrick did not plan to draw this mission out and immediately sent out his cruelest subordinate.
“We’ll leave this to you, Dejon!” Kerrick clapped him on his shoulder as the latter pulled up his hood, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.
“Don’t worry, Boss! I’ll get the job done!”
Then, Dejon turned to leave the secret base. He waited until nightfall to find his way to Nirina’s residence.
He had already read up on everything about Nirina’s residence at the base.
According to the mission from his boss, Dejon decided he would poison Nirina as doing so would leave the least traces behind. He immediately set his eyes on the kitchen that had to be making Nirina’s supper
Dejon saw a water valve outside and crept over to open it.
In no time, an aromatic smell wafted from the kitchens. He knew that food had been prepared and it was time for the water valve he twisted open a moment ago to do its part.
When he saw the dog eat the steak, Dejon knew that he had failed the mission.
As expected, the sounds of a dog wailing could be heard coming from Nirina‘s room.
Nirina seemed to have expected this as he calmly called for a hotel steward.
“Please bring this dog to a vet so he can be treated… This is your compensation.”
The steward was hesitant in the beginning but after seeing the thousand dollars in Nirina’s hand, he agreed readily.
Once the poisoned dog was sent off, Nirina locked the door and sat on the sofa leisurely to watch television.
If Dejon were to see this sight behind the curtains, the man might be too shocked to keep his mouth closed.
