More Chapter 23

     "Well.., Xation" Charles asked standing to his feet as Xation re-entered the living room "What did Felina say?"
     "She has agreed to see you, however, Felina would rather go to the island of Bermuda instead." Xation relayed the information to an enthusiastic Charles, and Xation was feeling very contented in his troubled heart, after hearing the sound of his sister's voice, for he did miss Felina terribly over the last year.
     "What did you tell her?" Charles asked as he sat back down while Hays and Bengiman listened attentively.
     Here Xation set his mobile phone down on the coffee table, letting out a sigh, then gave a quick smile sitting next to Hays on the long sofa saying "Well.., I will tell you." Xation cleared his throat as a little tear began welling up in the coroner of his eye "I told her that I could forgive her for what she did to my wife and my unborn child, if she could forgive me for making her stay away from the family for so long." Xation wiped away the bittersweet teardrop off his cheek, then he continued "I told her I want to gradually introduce her to my son, and slowly bring her back into the family. Starting with a visit from you. I promised to send you on my jet to pick her up and fly you two to Bermuda for an all expenses paid, two week holiday at the finest hotel.., for this is her reward for her patience and forgiveness."
     Charles smiled, thrilled that his little plan to be with Felina again had come to fruition, in an excited voice Charles exclaimed "Oh, thank you Xation, I can not wait to see your sister!" ans by 'see' Charles meant 'fuck'.
     "Oi.., Charlie." Bengiman said, using the nick-name Charles most despised, "What about Miss Lexa?" he said giving Charles a knowing look, for he was delighted Charles would leave the sexy woman alone with him for two weeks at the estate. Now the fact that Charles was going to fuck around with Felina would have normally bothered him a great deal, however, during Bengiman's time in Spain with Xation's sister, he wound banging Felina each and every day. Contented with having slithered back into Felina's bed once more satisfied Bengiman's libido, and ego, so he thought he would let Charles have Felina back, for a little while at least.
     "What about Lexa?" Charles said a tinge of indignation in his voice. "We're not married, I can go fuck whomever I like." he retorted with the sure feeling Lexa, herself, was losing interest in Charles.
     "Oh aye..," Bengiman smiled saying to himself, 'and so can she!'.
     "Let's go ahead and move on with our next course of action in this matter." Hays said as he sensed Xation was growing more uncomfortable with the idea of Charles fucking his sister again.
     "Yes, let's move forward." Xation said as he took the file on the Mr. Jorge Reynosa and Oscar del Diego, opening it up Xation handed the men's photographs to Charles and Bengiman telling them "Now they both need to be gone by 5:00 a.m., before our server comes back on line and the computers reboot. {Hays had encoded a virus into the main frame shutting down the system before Oscar returned from lunch, postponing their embezzlement meeting for the next day, but there would be no tomorrow for Oscar or Mr.Reynosa} "Bengiman, here are the addresses." Xation turned and gave the two men a stern, severe look saying slowly, as if he were speaking to children, "Now listen.., this is very important.., Bengiman, your job is to get Charles in and out of their houses.., safely, without incident. Charles, you are not to let Bengiman become involved in any way! We do not want a bloody mess on our hands! This has to be nice and clean, no blood, no fingerprints, no D.N.A. evidence! Just a simple injection of something strong, and deadly, that the coroner can not trace in an autopsy."
Xation and Hays both shook their heads in agreement, and Bengiman vowed he would not start any trouble during their mission, but Charles said nothing, only sitting there with a death-dread stare, gazing down at the faces of the men, his victims. "Charles?" Xation said getting no response. "Charles.., are you with us?"
     "What's the matter Charles?" Bengiman said with a wry smile "Don't have the stomach for it?" Charles did not respond with either a word or a glance.
     Hays chimed in "Come on Charles, it can't be that difficult.., I mean how many lives were lost because of you in the operating room? Oh and we mustn't forget those other two." Hays gave him a wink, and when he said 'those other two' Hays received his full attention.
     "Two?" Bengiman said a little confused, for he knew about the knife, but no one had told him about the nine iron.
     "I thought that was supposed to be a secret.., Xation!?" Charles said a look of anger, rage and contempt welling up in his heart and mind as he stood standing in front of Xation glaring down at him in fury.
     "Charles, clam down." Xation said as he stood to his feet, eye to eye with Charles, who looked like his head was about to explode.
     "Oh I am calm Xation.., calm like a bomb!"
     "Relax, relax!" Hays said as he too stood to his feet putting his hand on the irate man's shoulder "Charles, Xation had to tell me, we need to know everything about you for our file."
     "Charles we did not know if you would cooperate so we needed to have as much evidence to hold over your head as we could, that's the only reason I told him about the attack in Hawaii." Xation said giving Charles a sincere look of apology.
     "I knew it! I knew something happened on your trip! You fuckers lied to me!" Bengiman said absolutely gob-smacked Xation had kept the truth from him and he was so pissed of no one would tell him what actually happened.
     "Bengiman, never mind, now don't you get all riled up! We have a very serious matter to discuss and I need you both to be professional!" Xation said and then added "Or you won't get paid." Both men shut up and calmed down, sitting themselves back on the sofa, as Hays placed two small black leather satchels on the coffee table, the one for Charles contained $250,000, the one for Bengiman contained only $150,000.
"Now take this, follow your instructions and call me when it is finished." Xation said as he noticed Charles had gone quiet, staring off into space. "Charles, is something on your mind? Out with it.., what is it?"
     "I just have something to say.., to you Hays!" Charles said glaring over at Hays with a look as if to say 'I would be happy to skin you alive and cut you into tiny pieces' "I just want you to know and be aware of this.., Medicine is an EXACT science! And I did not always get the dosages for my patients EXACTLY right, but for the 8 I lost, hundreds made it through their operations with flying colors!" Charles said a thick vein on the side of his neck engorged with every pulsation of blood as he yelled "So just be sure to put that in your fucking file!" Charles said then he took in a deep, calming breath, as he slowly exhaled he stood, straightened his jacket and tie, placed his victim's file in the satchel with the money, then Charles went over shaking Xation's hand, saying "I will take care of this for you boss.., but when this over NO ONE is allowed to, ever, discuss this matter, and what happens tonight, with me.., do I make myself clear?"
     "After  tonight, we will all pretend that it NEVER happened! Comprende?" Xation said giving out the order of silence. All four men agreed and were united in their cause to put an end to the lives of the two men who could destroy Xation's reputation, fortune, and company. Even though these good men were only doing the job Xation hired them to do, this no longer mattered for the terrible secret had been uncovered and the discovery would cost both of Xation's employees their very lives. Murder most horrid, for the darkness that awaited them would be sweeping over the city soon. Tonight the Angel of Death would take flight and neither Oscar, nor Jorge, would make it to see the dawn's early light.
