35 Tattoo (2/2)

”Who are they?”

”I don't know them, I know that they have a black penguin tattoo on their left wrists.”

”Penguin tattoo. Hmm… Aren't they the men of Tyson family?” The Retired General looked at Amelia and questioned.

”Yeah, they apparently are. But why would they target us?” Saying so, she looked at Brad. She remembered the previous encounter with the youngest son of the Tyson family. Brad seemed to have some enmity with that guy.

”Brad.” She called out, paused for a while before saying, ”Please tell us the whole story. We need to know.”

”It's nothing, Ms. Hudon.” Brad replied stiffly.

”Like seriously? You aren't even going to tell me!” She exclaimed with growing frustration.

”Ah?” Brad could immediately understand his mother's mood as he heaved a sigh before saying, ”Look, I became the winner of the championship of the Painting Competition. After that Sam wanted to beat me, but I kicked him hard in the guts, and later that night, he sent a few assassins, but my friends and I beat them too. Later the Police Chief came and sorted that out.”

”Anything else?” The Retired General asked scrutinizing his face to check for any signs of lying, but found none.

”I don't remember.” Brad replied after some thought.

”Hmm. Interesting.” The Retired General muttered under his breath and called one of his trusted aides stationed just outside the door and said, ”Investigate this person.” He handed him a piece of paper in which a name was written.

The Retired General turned towards Mr. Collen and said, ”We will know soon. Let's just wait.” Mr. Collen thought that it will take a long time, so, he leaned back on his chair and said, ”Ah, Mr. General, why not drink this coffee?”

Soon a person came in bringing four sets of coffee cups with various snacks. The Retired General eyed the man and noticed an anomaly. But he didn't say anything and let him pour the coffee. What he saw next amazed him.
