The Magnificent Cat, Nadia Ramadan [free romance novels TXT] 📗

tomorrow, so we don’t really have a choice"

"Alright then" Alden said happily

"Attention" Ruddick shouted "there is one important thing I want every single one of you to know"

Alden turned back to switch on the big screen that was hanging behind him.

On the screen there was a big picture of Wade Carter, with all the description.

"Who is he?" an army on the front row asked 

"As much as we hate all of them over there in Bevin, trust me you don’t want to hurt this one!" Ruddick continued seriously "this is very important"

"And why is that?" another army asked "aren’t we suppose to clear them all!"

"No" Alden shouted "not him, if you touch him we will lose everything!"  

"What, what?" everyone said at the same time

"Hey!" Ruddick shouted to shut them up "what Alden is trying to say is that the person you are looking at now is actually the Magnificent Cat"

"What?" everyone continued to ask "how is that even possible?"

"Just shut up and listen!" Ruddick shouted "we don’t have time to talk shit that happen in the past"

"Ok then, what are we suppose to do?" one army asked

"Now that's a better question" Ruddick replied "Well during your attack tomorrow, just make sure you don’t touch him! I bet he will be at the concert tomorrow, but just in case he wasn’t, please make sure he stays safe! Understand!” 

"Yes, Sir!" the crowd shouted

"Well then get your guns ready tonight" Ruddick continued "and down to business tomorrow".

 

James spent the whole day at Picklock's cottage to escape all his problems; it was also a reminder of old days.

"I think you should go now" Picklock said kindly "they must be worried at the building"

"No one gives a crap about me, Picklock" James replied sharply "but I will leave any way, see you tomorrow?"

"Yes" Picklock replied "we will meet at the concert, no need for me to see the building again"

"It's alright" James continued "I will see you at the concert"

"Will you be alone when I see you?" Picklock asked seriously

"I don’t know" James replied "I might bring Patricia along with me, if that’s ok with you?"

"Its fine" Picklock answered 

"I want you to meet her" James said with a smile "we should all meet together happily tomorrow"

 

Chapter 23 - Ruddick’s intentions

It’s the concert day; everyone in Bevin is ready for the big day, the street of Bevin was full of balloons and fireworks which make the concert look more like a festival.

 

Lisa was still rehearsing when Jessica walked into her room.

"Are you finally ready, Lisa?" Jessica asked

"Yes, I think my time is 4:00" Lisa replied "that’s the time I will be performing"

"The owners of the Fantastica stage will be there to watch you!" Jessica said in excitement

"Are you trying to make me nervous?!" Lisa said laughingly

"Of course not, I just want to remind you how important this is"

"Wade is important" Lisa replied sharply "he should be there"

"He will" Jessica said "trust me; he will be there to see you!"

 

James woke up late as usual and was not willing to work at all; he got up and looked at his huge scar before he left his room.

 

James walked straight out of the building and crossed the street to the Greenwood's house. He then rang the bell twice.

The door opened and Patricia looked at him surprisingly.

"Good morning James" she greeted with a smile

"Patricia, I want you to come with me to the concert" James asked sharply as he looked at her.

"Concert…?" Patricia asked "What concert?"

"Bevin Concert" James replied "it's going to start in a few hours"

"Really…?" Patricia asked nervously "what time is it going to start?" 

"At 2:00 noon" James replied "are you coming or not?"

"Sure" Patricia replied with a smile "I will definitely accompany you, sweetheart"

"Good" James replied "I want you to meet Mr. Picklock, for he is a wonderful person you will ever meet"

"I am looking forward to that" Patricia replied 

"I've missed you" James said as he reached for her hands

"I've missed you too" she replied nicely "I am so happy we can spend some quality time together at the concert"

"I am glad too" James continued "for now I think you should get ready and I will pick you up at 1:30"

"I will be waiting" Patricia replied happily 

James looked at her romantically and then walked away straight to the building. Patricia continued to look at him until he left off. She smiled to herself as she feels the love for him. 

"Oh my God" Patricia said lowly to herself "don’t fall for this …you will soon get married to Ruddick… "

She went back inside the house and picked up her phone.

 

Armand knew that today is the Concert day, and also knew that he gave everyone a holiday to be at the concert. One thing he knew for sure was today is the day he will definitely spend some time alone with the Magnificent Cat.

 

"Good morning, Armand" Ray said happily as he walked into the secretive room

"Good morning, Ray" Armand replied still looking at the Magnificent Cat. 

"Everyone's downstairs and are extremely happy for their break today"

"Sure they are… I gave them the chance to go to the concert only because they deserve it"

"Of course" Ray continued

"Loyalty is very important to me" Armand said seriously "I hate traitors, and that’s why Mr. Watson got what he deserved"

"You are right" Ray said uncomfortably

"So, have you seen Wade?" Armand asked

"No I haven’t seen him" Ray replied "I don’t know where-"

"What the hell is going-?"

Armand did not finish his sentence when Ray's phone rang. Ray picked up his phone and looked at it.

"Excuse me" Ray said as he reached to the door "I have to take this, its Patricia"

"Take your time" Armand replied

 

Ray walked out of the secretive room and stood at the stairs where no one could hear him.

"Is Ruddick and Alden ready?" Patricia asked

"Sure they are" Ray replied sharply "is that why you called?"

"Well I will be going to the concert" Patricia added "James is taking me"

"James is also going?!" Ray asked 

"Who exactly are going?" Patricia asked 

"Every single person" Ray replied as he laughed "and I mean the guards, the security and the force!"

"This is amazing" Patricia said happily "snatching the Magnificent Cat will be a piece of cake" 

"It sure will be" Ray replied "I just hope James stays as well just so we could put a bullet on his head"

"I will never let that happen" Patricia said lowly

"What?" Ray asked angrily 

"Nothing" Patricia replied sharply "so everything is going on well, right?"

"Yes" Ray replied "we just lost track of Wade, that’s all"

"Damn" Patricia said "I hope he comes around later, we need him"

"He will" Ray replied "now it’s time to get the Magnificent Cat!"

 

Far away in Slycity, Ruddick has never been more ready to get the Magnificent Cat into the office. Ruddick called out a last minute meeting with his entire Army.

"Listen up everyone!" Ruddick shouted "Today is the day we have all been waiting for, nothing is going to stop us from what we are about to do, we planned this way too long and I don’t accept any failure, understood?"

"Yes Sir" the crowd shouted

"They are ready" Alden said as he turned to look at Ruddick "the concert is going to start at 2:00, so there is no time to waste"

"When is the war going to start, or let’s just say when are we going to snatch the Magnificent Cat?"

"2:00 will be too early" Alden continued "I mean it is better to get them in the middle of the concert, where everyone is drunk already"

"The Concert is lasting till the night, what do you think?" Ruddick asked

"That’s good" Alden replied "around 4:00 will be the perfect time for the attack"

"Then four o'clock it is" Ruddick said loudly

"You heard him" Alden shouted loudly to the crowd "now it’s time to go to the basement and grab your favorite gun! Let's roll"

"Yes sir" the crowd shouted again 

"Wait up!" Ruddick shouted just as the troops were about to leave "don’t forget your mission! Handle the Magnificent Cat well...careful with your moves and this include Wade Carter, and not to mention Burning down the place"

"I will just give Ray a call to take care of these things" Alden said as he leads the troops out side

"I have a better idea" Ruddick said as everyone turned to look at him "I will be joining you later"

"What?" Alden asked seriously

"Yes, that’s right" Ruddick continued "it’s time I give Armand a visit, I missed him" 

"Are you sure about that?" Alden asked again

"Yes I am" Ruddick replied annoyingly "just let me know the time you are leaving "I will give Ray a call myself"

 

Ray walked back into the secretive room without saying a word.

"What did Patricia want?" Armand asked as he looked at Ray

"Well she just told me that she wanted to go to the concert" 

"So you are going with her?"

"No" Ray answered "believe it or not, she is going with James"

"James?" Armand questioned surprisingly "Patricia and James?"

"Don’t remind me" Ray said angrily "let’s just say I am trying to avoid her personal life for the mean time"

"I can see that" Armand said "so you are not going to the concert?"

"No, I will just stay here with you"

"Alright" Armand said happily "we can just sit here and celebrate our time of working together"

"Yes" Ray replied with a smile "it’s time we finally celebrate!"

 

At the main hall downstairs, Nick saw Joe standing at the corner of the hall.

"Are you sure you don’t want to go" Nick asked Joe

"Yes, Nick, there is no need for me to be there; I mean I can finally spend some time with Armand!"

"Yes you are right; I will make sure I tell you everything about the Concert"

"Thanks, Nick" Joe said as he looked and saw James entering the building.

"Hey" Nick replied "how are you doing?"

"Actually I feel good today" James said smilingly 

"You are going to the concert aren’t you?" Joe asked 

"Actually I am" James replied "I have to go; this could be my last day with Mr. Picklock"

"Mr. Picklock?" Nick shouted "is he going to be there? That’s great"

"Yes" James replied "and he will leave Bevin tonight, for good"

"That’s sad" Joe said as he sigh "he should stick around for a while"

"No" James continued "he just doesn’t want to end up like Mr. Watson"

"Yes you are right" Nick said sadly "I can't wait to see him today though"

 

Chapter 24 - Fall of the Boss

The Day in Bevin is still bright day light, but that doesn’t stop
