...His eyes open, staring towards the ceiling above for a few moments before glancing to his immediate left...His stay at the Toronto hospital had come to pass, finding himself in the confines of his own suite, Destiny laying inches away, her slumber already taken effect...
He arose from his laying position, seating himself on the edge of the bed as his thoughts began to replay the impromptu encounter with his estranged sister a few days ago...A woman he had not been in contact with for close to a year now and suddenly? She was here in Toronto, and working for APW for that matter. Strange he thought...All of a sudden....So unlike Casey to just "appear"...She always had a plan and a reason for her actions and reactions. It's what he taught her so many years ago. So why now? And what WAS her intention for making her presence known at this moment in time...There were very few here who knew of his family's past here in Toronto & APW...A very short list from which His Majesty quickly deciphered the most likely candidate for summoning Ms. Casey Jordan here to Toronto...He was positive on it and decided...He'd have to counter act with something at least...Just that he had intentions of counter acting with...A bit more..."Force" if you will...
His vision slowly moves to the cell phone laying on the nightstand no more than 2 feet away. He slowly extends his arm, retrieving it and taking it up into his grasps as he immediately began pressing corresponding buttons for some unknown task...Within seconds a sigh escapes his lips, his hands making the necessary motions to begin scrolling through the abundance of associates stored in the device in his hand...His facial expression intensified knowing what he was on the verge of doing...The names quickly passing his line of vision as his hand movements were swift and precise...
Pryor...
He nods off the first possible selection....
Bentley...
Once again...
Vittorio...
Pausing momentarily before doing the same for the third potential selection....
Reymaun...
A fourth time...
Juarez...

Reymaun...

Juarez...
A sigh escapes his lips as he nods this most recent selection off as well...Then...
The scrolling brings him to a name a bit more..."Suited" for the potential job at hand...Something that may entail...Getting their hands "dirty" so to speak. Someone void of conscious and not in the least bit concerned of repurcussions...Someone who could get several jobs done for His Majesty at once as well as go as far as the dollar amount the King dished out, would take him...He smiled faintly as he pressed the corresponding button, hearing the ringing begin in his ear seconds later...Within moments, loud music could be heard through the device in his hand, as well as the faint sound of a "hello" before His Majesty's voice chimes in...
I see you're enjoying your usual past times my friend. I have a job for you. Very, VERY generous compensation as well. Perhaps your largest ever?...
A brief pause as he listens to the voice on the other end. Then...
Ha Ha...Just as I thought you would. And trust me my friend, you will be MORE than pleased with the compensation this time around...Yes I'm sure...We'll speak more on the job when you arrive...Now...I should be expecting you here in Toronto when again?...
TO BE CONTINUED....
