Chapter 44 Shot!
Julian sat down in the back of his luxury car, adjusting his suit slightly. His facial expression was neutral but the tension in the car was high.
"Boss, are you sure you need to do this?", asked Noah from the drivers seat, turning on the ignition.
Julian made eye contact with Noah through the mirror, "Unless you have a better idea, then yes". His voice was quiet and had a slightly teasing tone.
Noah lowered his head, unable to reply. He's been trying to think of different ways to go about luring Damien out of his hiding place, but nothing came to mind. The last few months had taken a toll on him, making him feel useless for not being able to help Julian more.
Julian saw the sullen expression on Noah's face and smiled.
"Don't be too hard on yourself. It's not like I'm actually going to die", he said.
Noah showed a small self deprecating smile, "But you'll have to spend years if not the rest of your life in hiding!"
"Not if we get Damien quickly. As soon as he's out of the picture and his gang falls apart, then I can make a comeback. You can even post my face on the cover of every magazine at that point", chuckled Julian.
"Plus, that bunker is actually really nice, it'll be like a much deserved vacation", he added.
The two men drove up to a luxurious building. This was the location for the much anticipated underground auction, and the starting point for Julian's plan to lure Damien out of hiding.
Julian stepped out of the car and walked into the beautiful building followed by Noah. There were many elites and undercover bosses gathered here today, everyone dressed extravagantly to show off their wealth.
Julian made his way over to the previously reserved booth where he met Ian.
"Boss, you're here". Ian was dressed in an all black suit, looking extra fearsome due to his serious facial expression.
"Yes, I hope everything is in order?", asked Julian as he looked around the auction hall.
Ian nodded, "Yes, everything is prepared to go as planned. Just before the last items auction you will get shot from across the hall. The perfect body double has already been prepared".

"Here we are boss, the drive over to the bunker is about a 40 minute ride from here. Please be careful as there is no trail and we'll be driving through a dense forest".
Julian nodded and motioned to Brent to lead the way. The drove off into the forest, carefully weaving in between large rocks and trees. Julian was glad to see that the path to the bunker wasn't the easiest, hoping that it would deter others from venturing in.
After about an hour they had finally arrived and the bunker. There were a number of fallen trees and large branches making Julian and Brent have to take extra detours while driving.
Julian stepped off of his dirt bike and shined his flashlight. If he didn't know better he would never have believed that he was currently standing on top of a multi-level bunker. The environment had fully grown out since the construction phase, leaving a completely natural looking environment. The hill that the bunker was built into had grass and small trees growing out of it. In fact, none of the environment was touched during the construction phase.
With a click of a small key, a tiny hatch opened up beside a large bush, granting Julian entry into his new home.
