《A Deal in Disguise》CHAPTER 1: WHO IS VINCENT?
Advertisement
"There's been 20 murders in total, what the hell are you all doing?" Officer James Kennedy yelled at his men.
Officer James Kennedy is one of the senior inspectors who has been given a case, till now this mysterious case is number 101, where someone is killing people. He has already murdered 21 people till now.
"Get me the file of this case." Officer Kennedy ordered.
An officer handed the file over to this senior inspector.
James Kennedy sat on his seat and started reading the file while asking all the other officers to leave the room.
Everyone exited the room, they all knew Officer Kennedy was a bit crazy. Crazy in the sense about his work. He loves his work and gets crazy when he couldn't get any evidence about the killers, so at this point leaving him alone was the best option.
Kennedy took an hour to go through the whole file about the murder cases. Marking few things those seemed to be important he called a meeting of other officers.
"After going through the file there are few things I got to know about these murders."
They all looked at Officer Kennedy focused to listen to whatever he had to say next.
"There was one common point in every murder they all were found lying on the streets. Now my question here is why would the killer leave them lying on the streets for everyone to find a dead person? Unless he really wants us to find the body."
"But there is no connection between any of the murders."
Someone from the officers cleared his throat drawing everyone's attention towards him, he stood up from his seat.
"You have anything to say, officer?" Officer Kennedy asked.
"Yes Sir. There is a common relation between all the murders."
Officer Kennedy got serious and asked him "What relation?"
The officer looked scared, he looked around and said "They all were Simon Cameron's men."
"Simon Cameron?"
The officer nodded.
Everyone among the officers started whispering among themselves as soon as they heard the name of Simon Cameron.
Everybody did know this name 'Simon Cameron' though no one has met him but they have heard the name.
He runs a company which is very successful but other than just knowing the name they were scared of him.
Yes. Scared.
He was known to be the most ruthless person, he tortures people mercilessly to get what he wants. This fact about him was known to everyone but no one could touch him.
Simon Cameron is a mafia leader, the most cruel one. He has been underground now for more than 6 years no one has ever seen him after his last case.
His last case where he completely destroyed a whole mafia gang.

The officers of that case knew who was the murderer but didn't have any strong proof against Simon. So they couldn't arrest him. Simon Cameron has always been perfect in his work, he has done his work so perfectly that no one could even doubt him.
"The mafia gang he killed back then were drug dealers, if I am not wrong?" Officer Kennedy said.
The other officer nodded in agreement.
"Why is someone targeting his people? And if someone is doing that why isn't he doing anything? He is just watching his men getting killed, that's not something I know about the Cameron's."
"Sir according to our sources we got the news that Simon Cameron is searching for the murderer but is unable to do that."
Officer Kennedy went closer to that cop and stood in front of him looking him straight in the eye "And what other information did that source give you?"
The cop looked at Officer Kennedy once then again looked straight "Simon Cameron knows who is behind all these murders."
"He knows still he isn't doing anything. Don't try to tell me who Simon Cameron is, I know him very well and what he can do. I want the truth."
"This is the truth Sir he knows who is behind all this."
"Then why isn't he doing anything? He is the leader of the mafia." Officer Kennedy nearly yelled at the cop. He tried to calm himself then again asked the cop "Tell me whatever you know."
The cop nodded and started "There used to be two most powerful mafia gangs in New York, one of the gangs leader was Simon Cameron's father and the others leader was Antonio Salvatore."
"They did all kind of crimes but no cop was able to get any evidence against them. Both of the gangs were perfect in their job, many cops tried to kill them or at least arrest them but failed miserably." He stopped then looked at Officer Kennedy.
"Whose side are you exactly in, officer?" Officer Kennedy asked.
"Yours Sir." He replied.
"Then why the hell are you insulting the cops saying they failed miserably and you are praising those motherfucking killers."
The cop looked down and said "Sorry Sir."
"Now continue with whatever you were saying." Officer Kennedy ordered.
"Antonio killed Simon's father and mother, Simon at that time wasn't in the city. But when he returned he couldn't let it go he did the same with Antonio and his family. He killed Antonio's whole family."
"Why would Antonio kill Simon's family? They were sorted in their own businesses. Why would he do that?"
"He wanted to have all the powers to himself. He wanted everyone to be scared of him and him only."

"How is this matter related to the current situation?"
"In Antonio's gang there was a man named 'Vincent'. We don't know his real name but his people call him Vincent, the name means to conquer. He really was a conqueror."
"WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU EXACTLY IN!?" Officer Kennedy yelled at the cop.
"And you are talking bullshit." Another cop stood up from his seat. "Excuse my language Sir but after 10 years why would Vincent come back and you yourself said Simon Cameron killed Antonio's whole family how can he leave his best man?"
The first cop spoke up "According to my sources, this is all the information Simon Cameron has. He doubts it's Vincent."
"Vincent is dead. It has been 10 years."
"Shut up both of you." Officer Kennedy spoke up again "It's Vincent or not I don't care, I want more information about this killer."
"Sir I have something." The first cop said and taking out something from his uniform pocket he pinned it on the board in front.
It was a picture.... of a man. His face was not visible clearly, he was wearing a black outfit face hidden wearing a cap and glasses.
The cop who was at first arguing with the cop of Vincent being dead he now came in front scanning the picture properly.
"No!" He exclaimed.
"What?" Officer Kennedy asked.
"It's Vincent." the officer muttered in complete shock.
Officer Kennedy asked in confusion "How do you know? You look so sure about it."
"It is Vincent."
"How the hell do you know that?"
"H-He has the brass knuckles." He replied in a scared voice.
"What? Brass knuckles? What are you talking about?"
"It's Vincent's weapon. He is very good with those no one can even touch him if he has those brass knuckles he is very dangerous with those knuckles."
The first cop said "I think he is right Sir. The murders, not all of them but yeah many were with the knuckles."
"The knuckles are Vincent's speciality, he is very fast and with knuckles and knife he is too good. It has to be him. It has to be Vincent." He took deep breaths then again spoke up "That means he is alive. Vincent is still alive. No one can save Simon Cameron now, he will take his revenge."
"Shut the fuck up! He will not be able to even touch him know why? Because I'll be the one standing in between them and in the end I'll be the one to put a bullet in his head" Saying that Officer Kennedy left the room.
The old officer shook his head "It's not that easy fighting him."
Kennedy left the meeting room. Reaching his cabin he punched the wall hard getting really frustrated.
I have to get him.
I have to get that motherfucker.
Taking out the picture that he brought from the meeting room before leaving he looked at it with his jaw clenched "I will hunt for you Vincent."
"I am coming for you just wait and watch."
I was with a girl in my room when one of my men entered the room looking impatient "Sir we have a problem."
I asked the girl to wait outside.
"What?"
He answered "One of our men was killed again."
My hand turned into a fist, jaw clenched "Tell me the count."
"Including today it's 21 now."
I nodded "Is it Vincent again?"
He nodded "We found his sign on the dead bodies and also the marks on the bodies makes it clear that it's him."
"You can leave."
He went out. I sat on the couch with a glass filled with scotch in my hand thinking what to do next.
It has to be Hazel, Vincent's next target and I have to protect her be it anything.
I called Uncle, he picked up after few rings "Simon?"
"I want you to do something for me."
"What?"
"Hazel is in danger and we too know Vincent wants her."
"Yeah. I heard the news of your men's death but how are we supposed to protect her? We aren't even able to protect our people."
"I know and if she stays with me now, I doubt I can protect her. Vincent wants to destroy me for that he will come for her but there's something I have noticed about him, he doesn't kill innocents so he is not gonna harm anyone else who isn't related to me,"
"What do you mean Simon?"
"Rafael Martinez."
"Rafael Martinez?"
"Yeah, Hazel has to marry him."
"What? How will that help?"
"He will protect her, I know because I will be doing him a favour when I kill Vincent."
"You are planning to make a deal with him?"
I smirked "Yeah. I will kill Vincent and he will keep Hazel safe."
"But why would he put himself in danger? I don't understand."
"He has a past Uncle, a very bad one and he wants revenge. I'll help him and in return he will help me."
"Are you sure, he's gonna help you?"
"He will. I know him more than anyone else. To get Hazel, Vincent won't kill any innocent. Talk to Rafael then let me know and one more thing... place an audio chip in his office, I want to hear everything."
"Will do that as soon as possible."
"No. Tomorrow morning it is the first thing you're gonna do. I don't want something happen to Hazel because of me."
"Yes." He replied.
I hung up the call.
It's only Rafael who I trust at this point.
