Hey all!
Decided to post some more of my work in progress Faith In War. Hope u enjoy. The rest of the first chapter can be found in the archive section. Enjoy...
- Don't I dare what? - replied Jude in an insolent sneer.
Sit down. You know perfectly well I despise you, and the only reason you are still alive is because, stupid and pathetic as you are, your knowledge, if one can call it that, has its uses. - He paused to let his words sink in.
- Remember this: now that you have fulfilled you promise I would not think twice before putting a bullet right between your eyes! - For extra measure he accompanied this last statement with a slight gesture with his head to the pistol that lay on his desk just so Jude understood loud and clear what was at stake.
He definitely got the message and replied in an utterly unconvincing tone of courage:
- As you are so kind to remind me during every visit but, let me remind you, of a little detail you so often seem to forget: you are not the only one with powerful friends.
In a movement incredibly fast for a man of his build Blake stood up, gun in had, pointing straight at Jude.
- Don't you dare threaten me you despicable worm!
- Wouldn't think of it, my lord, - replied Jude, an ironic smirk playing upon his lips, - I merely pointed out a fact which seemed to have evaded your lordships attention. That was all.
- You are so worried about my well being! All in all, it is a shame I know to well to believe you, - William sat down just as calm, just as composed, indeed as if nothing whatsoever had just happened.
- Too true, my lord, but may I point out that you certainly didn't summon me so that we could exchange mere pleasantries. What may I ask is the problem this time?
- Nothing, nothing at all, I merely need to sort out some details. First and foremost there is your payment. As you know you will only receive half a million pounds now, the other half will be yours as soon as I get what is rightfully mine!
- I see my information and that pretty little map have some value after all.
- Yes, yes, but as I often say: we are all bound to make mistakes sometime, - He was sure Jude had not failed to notice the sarcasm in this statement, a certainty confirmed by the laughter that followed.
A most unpleasant, cruel, artificial laugh, one that made even Blake recoil, though he hid this as best he could. Weakness and fear were two of the things he most hated, in fact there was probably only one thing he hated more than these "qualities" and that was the English monarchy, but as has been said: old prejudices die hard.
- Your lordship is in a most pleasant mood today. To what do we owe this pleasure? - Jude was sure to give just the right tone to this question, if Blake suspected any foul play his head would roll, literally.
- And to what do I owe this sudden interest in my affairs? As far as I know you were hired to uncover information and not to inquire. Keep your nose where it belongs or you may find that the lack of one is quite horrid. Are we understood?
- Perfectly. Crystal clear in fact. I was but making pleasant conversation...
- Well I am also sure I do not pay you to do that either, - The bite of impatience in his voice rang eerily through the dark silence, - Please let us not prolong this meeting any more.
Signing out...
