Chapter 29: Don't Mess With Me!!!

 Ray looked at the screen of the phone again, this time it had two digits changing every three seconds. He put the phone back to his ear and demanded in a low voice.

"Who the hell is this?" He asked

"Well I could say at the moment we're acquaintances, yet to become friends. You get me?" Jason replied with a question

"Is this some sort prank? Because if it is, you are in some very serious trouble Mr" Ray said

"Do I sound like I have a sense of humor?" Jason asked

"Well, apart from the voice changer that you're using making you sound like the holy Grail unicorn from MacDonald's farm, I can't tell if you're a cock or a fucking horse" Ray said as he started to get a bit angry.

"I see that thing is working better than I thought. At least there's no pig in there. Those things are nasty, greedy little bastards, if you actually look at it, they sound more like politicians, look like them and snort like them." Jason said as his voice changer went through over 30 different animated animal voices that actually sounded like someone talking enabling Ray to understand what Jason said

"Listen to me you little piece of shit," Ray said

"Whoah! Calm down rodeo, that's not how you speak to the person who just gave your job a purpose" Jason said

"What do you mean by purpose?" Ray asked

"You still don't know who you are talking to yet, do you?" Jason asked back

"You think that statement is supposed to ring a bell in my head? Jog my memory and shit" Ray said

While the president was still giving his speech and trying to use the attack on the mayor as a campaigning scheme since he knew millions of citizens were watching live, telling them how he would ensure that security is beefed up and how people like Daymond would be behind bars. Immediately a hand shot up from the crowd, it was Jeff. Ray didn't know why he hasn't ended the call or alarmed his people to work on getting the IP address from where the call originated. For some reason he knew the person on the other end was somehow important, how he was connected to anything is what Ray couldn't place his finger on. Loki being a little hesitant, allowed Jeff to speak after getting a nod from Ray who was still watching everyone in the crowd to spot the black sheep.

"Mr President, you say that you will increase security in the city yet the Russian roulette acts as judge, jury and executioner, what is it exactly that you are going to do? My source tells me he's responsible for the courthouse shooting, the three bodies that washed offshore and he's the same man who shot the mayor. His bullets are his verdict and his victims are just the game. First shooting was his Grand debut, second one he showed us what he's capable of and the third one, he simply said 'i don't give a fuck who you are'. Do you care to comment Mr President?" Jeff asked as he sat down

Now the president had a tough time to get the press to settle down since Jeff, according to them, asked the questions none of them was willing to ask without fear of anything. He tried to compose himself, lucky he had his people print out a whole speech on how he would make sure that the Russian roulette was brought to book.

"Russian roulette, I like the sound of that."Jason said

"Wait a moment, who are you?" Ray asked now more serious with the question

"Like I said, I'm the one person who made your work have meaning. I may have or have not put you in that hospital" Jason responded coldly

"It's you. You're the shooter" Ray said as he finally realized who he was taking to

"Took you long enough to realize that. I was starting to worry that you wouldn't tag along so fast. Would've been such a bummer if the commander of Sin City would not pass such an easy test. But for the sake of it, call me Russian roulette." Jason said

Ray immediately gestured for one of his men to come over and low-key gave him an order to tap the phone and track the current call

"And Ray, if you don't mind please tell your computer geek friends that they cannot find me, for I'm everywhere. And do me a favour, try and act normal. You look so stressed out, all sweaty and gittery. Someone might pick up on that" Jason said

"How can you even see me? I'm out of camera view" Ray asked a bit puzzled

"Get a phone from one of your officers (Ray asked for it and was given it). Now I want you to watch the live streaming event and tell me what you see" Jason told him

"I see nothing, just the president and the people behind him" Ray said as he tried looking for what his caller was seeing and he wasn't

"Look at the window behind the whole group. What do you see?" Jason asked

"My.... My reflection" Ray said as he finally saw it. Almost immediately the geek who was sent to tap his phone came back and gestured to him that he was not able to get a fixed location. It kept bouncing every time the number on the cell phone changed.

"Now before you panick, I'm not going to shoot the president. I can see you're already scouting all the possible exits. Two across the room, one heading down to the basement but it emerges down the street where I can have a clear shot. Second exit takes your to the helipad, kind of complicated but it's so much easier shooting down a chopper and watch the president crash to his death. Now in that room that you're in, there's approximately seven windows which gives me more than 20 possible camping sites to wait out and shoot the president. And if that's not enough all I need is one single shot into that room to send it into panic mode leaving you and the secret with no choice but to hoax an exit and evacuate the president using an ambulance as his cover, so predictable. And out of all those possible escape routes none of them have more than a 20% success rate so how about instead of going into panic mode and showing the entire world how scared you are about just a single person, listen to me."

"What do you want?" Ray asked now alarmed

"I just wanted to inform you and your president over there that the next time you send your little lap dogs to try and hunt me down, I'll bring them back without their heads. Then I'll be coming for you and then the president, I won't stop there. I know you all have families, trust me when I say I'll burn them alive as you watch." Jason answered with seriousness that Ray could hear through the voice changer

"Let's not take this chit chat to the next level shall we? I don't want you calling me buddy yet. But I can tell you one thing is for sure, our paths will cross. I just wish that they do not cross on bad terms since you wouldn't want to see me when I'm pissed off, would you know?" Jason asked with a bit of mockery in his tone

"I guess not" a terrified Ray answered

"Well I surely would've love to talk to the president but I'm seeing that this is not the time yet to speak to him. So kindly pass my dearest regards to him and his family" Jason said as he ended the call

The only feeling too describe what Ray had experience was just chilling.
