Jason Felix- Jack Felix's father- was getting some paperworks done when someone barged into his office, pissing his off.
"HOW MANT TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU KNOCK BEFORE ENTERING, GOD DAMN IT." He yelled at that incompetent man, who is one of his men.
" Chill old man you will die of a heart attack if you keep shouting like that." His son said entering the room along with his friends and plopping themselves on the sofa across the room.
" S-si-sir o-ne of ou-our shi-shipment was am-ambushed." The man who barged into his office stuttered out.
Jason rubbed his forehead in frustration.
'This is becoming regular.This is the third time of the week." He thought.
"Do you have any information of the person who is doing this." Jack asked.
" No sir they just disappeared into thin air with our shipment."
"SO USELESS. YOU ARE USELESS. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON WHO IS CAUSING THIS." Jason screamed at the poor man who trembled in fear.
"You are dismissed." Henry, Jack's third in command, said saving the man.
"Mr. Felix you need to take a deep breath and calm yourself down."Andrew said stepping towards Jason.
"Our shipments are getting ambushed lately. They know everything. Even when we disclose the time in the last minute." Henry said thoughtfully.
"What are you insinuating." Jason asked warily.
"Let's talk in our house." he said

IN THE HOUSE
"We have a rat." Andrew began as soon as he closed the door.
"How can we be sure?" Jason asked, false allegation is not something anyone will tolerate.
" Dad there are signs: 1 all shipments that we require the most are being ambushed. 2 It is becoming more frequent, like Henry said, that persons knows even when the information are kept underwraps. 3 that person even knows where I keep my oreos."Jack said wistfully and shooting an accusing glare at Herny at the ending causing him to raise his hands on surrender and cracking Andrew up while Jason was trying to comprehend what his son just said.
"But that person will be alarmed if we start investigating." Jason said thoughtfully after a while.
"So we can't do dive further into this without alerting the rat we are onto him. We can ask someone to investigate it but we can't we sure that he is not the rat we are looking for. And if they are ambush our shipments which are filled with ammos, explosives and bullet proof vests we will run out of them leaving us vulnerable and an easy prey for them and if there might be a war we will be easy to defeat. Now there are two reasons for the rat to be helping them one, someone is threatening his family and two-"
"He hates us."Jack completed for Andrew.
" Wait... there might be one more reason" Henry said.
"And what might that third reason be." Andrew asked with one of his eyebrow raised and arms crossed over his chest.
"He might be a cop, an interpol, a secret agent."Henry suggested.
" No he is not, if he was then he can have us behind the bars, and why would the government amush our shipment instead of nab our men and trash them leading to our downfall." Jason explained.
" Your trust in our men is sad." Jack commented.
"What it is true." Jason said and shrugged.
"So what are we supposed to do. We can't let them do what they want, it's like giving them what they want in a silver plate and what they want is our head." Jack stated.
After a few minutes Henry broke the silence by saying "I know a person but you might not like the idea."
"It's not like we have any idea so say who you have in mind. It might actually help us." Jason said.
"Why can't we try black mask."he asked.
'Not bad how can I forget about him. I saw one of his victim and I nearly puked.' Jason thought.
" What no we don't know him."Andrew and Jack commented immediately discarding his idea.
"We can ask for his help." Jason said.
"What about those assassins wasn't it our plan to ask them for help initially." Andrew asked frowning.
"We can ask both of them." Jason said.
"But Mr. Felix I've heard that he is pretty haughty." Henry informed.
" We have to deal with that then. What is his phone number." Jason asked and wrote down the number as Herny said.
"Alright before you press the call button I want you to take deep breaths till you know you won't lose your temper no matter what."Henry said.
"Why should I do that." Jason asked impatiently raising one of his eyebrow.
"Like I said he is pretty arrogant what if you lose it and blow off the help." He explained.
"Why do you care?"Jack asked.
" His victims faces explains my concern. I am too handsome to die that viciously."he explained making Jason and his son huff and Andrew slap the back of Henry's head.
"b***h please you are nothing compared to me." Jack stated flexing his muscle.
"And YOU are nothing compared to ME." Jason stated mimicking his actions.
"Old man please I get all the girls."he said smirking.
" b***h please I get all the hot girls." Jason said smugly with a smirk on his face.
'How dare this b***h compare himself with me. ME. Instead of being grateful I gave birth to him therefore inheriting my incredible genes he compares himself with me. Ungrateful brat.' Jason thought with a scoff.
" That is only because you gift them all the expensive stuffs in other words bribing them to sleep with you, to get into their pants."he said in a as a matter of fact kind of way.
" Alright alright alright now why don't we concentrate on calling him rather fighting. It can save some time, you know. "Andrew said.
" No I want to deal with this ungrateful brat first. How dar-"Henry cut Jason off by pressing on the call button and turned on the speaker.
" Hello is it black mask." Jason asked in his business voice, which leaves people shivering in there place, as soon as the phone was picked up.
He smirked at the thought of the fearful assassin being scared of me.

Vanessa and her friends were fooling around when Vanessa's phone rang, making others divert their attention towards her.
"Looks like Vanessa is needed." Victoria commented with a lop sided grin.
"Hello is it black mask."came the cold voice from the other.
"No it's your runaway mother. Who else do you expect it to be." Vanessa dragged sarcastically in the beginning then snapped.
Jason choked on his spit by her words.
" haha my bad I am Jason Felix. The leader of one of the best American mafia. I'm sure you would've heard of me." He tried to play it cool then turned narcissist.
" No, I haven't." Vanessa said though she was well aware who he was.
Jason saw Jack stifling his laughter from his words, making Jason glare at his son.
"That's a lie and you know it." Jason insisted.
"I only know important people in the mafia and you are not important enough to be known." Came a manly cold voice from the other side, insulting him.
Jason turned off the speaker as he didn't want to be insulted in front of my son and his friends more than he already was.
"Well let's talk about business. I think I have a spy in my mafia and I don't know who to ask for help and I......... Need your help." Jason said wispering the last part as he was not used to asking for help it was always the other way around.
"How much will I get." Vanessa asked
Jason can literally hear him smirking in satisfaction.
"10 million." Jason quickly said.
"I don't know if I should but as you are insisting and I AM the best in the field and better than you I think I might as well help you." Vanessa said inflating her already inflated ego and hung up.
'Henry wasn't lying when he said he is pretty arrogant.' Jason thought glaring at him
" So what did he say. "Andrew asked.
" He said he will help us." Jason said.
" Then why the hell are you glaring at us." Herny asked completely baffled.
" He is more arrogant that you said." Jason told him.
"He said he doesn't know you." he said throwing his head back and laughing making his father glare at him harder.
"He is lying" Jason stated consoling his bruised ego.
MEANWHILE
WITH VANESSA
"What was that about." Elizabeth asked frowning.
"Guess who is working for 2 person and monitoring the same mafia." Vanessa squealed with fake enthusiasm.
