Casey and Hardy, Sheperd and Cruz had a separate list. The Brians had a different list. We were all to move at once.
I sent Brian Levi and Brian William to ensure everyone we wanted to arrest was in the arena. It was paramount that they were taken at once. We would have to deal with the rest later.
We all went to our respective booths, and my Itinerary was brought to me to sign.
I wondered why I had many guests on a day that no one knew I would be at the arena. The Brian that brought the list said it was a spillover, and I had to deny them admittance because some of the names were on my list of suspects.
“I will be playing today, so I will see them tomorrow,” I said, making it seem like a meeting would hold tomorrow. I knew there would be no meeting because we would be busy questioning the prisoners. I also knew the council would call an emergency meeting after the arrests to question my conduct. That is when I would take over as king.
We had it all planned out, and everything would have to go as planned.
“Alpha Christian is here to join us, I said he should join Casey’s team for the arrests,” Marcel told me as soon as the Brian with the itinerary had left, and I nodded.
It was wise to place alpha Christian with Casey since his wife was in our custody, and some of the people we arrested might know.
We tried to keep it under wraps, but we could not deny that they were

resourceful.
We spent a few hours in our booth, and soon it was time for our game. Playing polo without our mates present was boring, but we had to keep up our appearance; there were a lot of Brians on the watch for snippers and suspicious movements.
The game went smoothly, and I noticed Cruz and Sheperd putting in some effort. Since we did not know how the arrest would go, we were not rough with the opponent. We wanted everyone to be in good shape when we moved in on our enemies and arrested them.
During the game, I noticed Casey’s team was good, and it was our brutality that had caused them to fail the last time woefully. The crowd also hoped to witness what they had seen the last time. Too bad we had to disappoint them.
My team won the match, and we went to freshen up and return to our booths.
I presented some medals later and gave a short speech. So far, so good we did not do anything suspicious. Once we finished at the arena, it was time to move in on the people on the list. Abelardo remained to honour the medalists as planned.
I became nervous because we did not know what we would find.
They could be prepared or not. They could fight back or not. Anything could happen, and it wasn’t given that we would succeed, but we knew we had to move in on them.
Casey’s team split into two: Casey, Hardy, Jake and Christian, Cruz and Sheperd. The Brians had six groups altogether. Everyone had their lists. It was time to move in on the suspects.
We abandoned our cars and used vans instead. My team started with the Mikhailovs.

We followed the Mikhailovs with our van, overtook them and blocked their car. Lenny exited the vehicle, not knowing we were the ones, and I stepped out of the van to make the arrest.
We arrested him and his brothers. They protested, but I did not care. My wedding was coming, and I didn’t want trouble.
We drove to Gaston Wayat’s house and arrested him and his mate. They protested, but I did not speak a word, and it was too sudden for them to put up a fight.
I maintained my silence and saved my questions for later.
While taking them to the van, I called Hardy on the phone, and he informed me that their arrests were going smoothly and none of the suspects had fought back.
Due to the number of people we were arresting, we would lock them up in the council prison. I had changed the guards to my men a few days ago so no one would be allowed to escape.
“What is going on here? Lord Hand, you cannot do this. You have no right.” Gaston said while I bundled him and his mate into the back of the van. The moment he saw Lenny, he knew his game was up.
“Not talking now, are you?” Raphael said, smacking the back of his head and pushing him in. His mate was in tears.
Raphael sat with the prisoners at the back while I closed the back of the van and went to sit in the passenger seat in front, happy for the ease with which we were arresting the suspects.
“Sometimes, when you need something done, you do it yourself,” Marcel said and started the van.
We were enjoying it, and Cremin wanted to be let out, but none of the suspects had shifted to warrant that type of brutality.

We picked up Gezel and her mate and likewise Carla and her mate. Our van was full, so we drove to the council Prison.
“What is going on here, Marcel?” Gezel said, and Marcel did not respond. He was too disappointed to speak.
“Thoe!” Carla asked, and he growled at her.
“You had it all, Carla, why do this to our family’s name?” Theo asked her giving her a hint that their game was up, and she became silent
immediately. Her husband kept asking what was happening. He clearly didn’t know what his wife had gotten them into.
“Ask your mate,” Raphael said, and there was silence.
We arrived at the prison and moved quickly.
We did not want time to lapse or for the rest of the suspects to find out about our activities and escape.
One of my trusted Brians, Tom, was in charge of the prison guards, and Donald was helping him. I did not want him there, but Jake said we could trust his son. I had not spoken to him, but I instructed Brian Tom to keep an eye on the guy.
We put the people we arrested in different cells in the council prison and moved to arrest the remaining people on our list.
When we got to Neil Peakman’s house, he was loading his suitcase in the trunk of his car.
I exited the van and clapped for him.
“Going somewhere, Councilman?” I asked him, and there was fear in his eyes. Someone must have informed him that we were making arrests. Seeing that we were arresting everyone, I wondered who had the time to do that.

“I am innocent,” he said, and the man looked pathetic.

“Save it for your questioning.” I said, and Marcel cuffed him with silver. We loaded him into the truck and arrested two more people before heading to Ramsey’s hotel.
When we got to the hotel, we found a commotion in the front, and I saw Casey’s van parked there. Ramsey wasn’t on their list, so why did they come there?
“What the hell, Casey!” I said aloud.
“We had to get here as fast as we could. My Brian said he was running away. Someone had tipped them off,” he said, defending his actions, and I wondered who that person might have been.
“Have you gotten everyone on your list?” I asked, and he shook his head,
“Gabriel escaped. I have declared him wanted,” He said, and I nodded.
“Where is Ramsey?” I asked, and he pointed at the reception of the hotel.
“In there acting crazy,” Casey said, and I noticed that Hardy and Jake weren’t with him.
I moved close to Casey to ask him about Hardy and Jake.
“They went to get in through the emergency at the back. My Brian would open the exit from the inside for them to get in. Ramsey is focused on us, so he won’t see them coming,” he whispered, and just then, Hardy and Jake came out dragging Ramsey in chains.
Ramsey was screaming he wouldn’t say anything until he was put before the council. A little torture would change his resolve.
He had also received a beating, and I did not need to guess who did it. Hardy looked very pissed.

“We got the bastard!” Jake said, enraged, and I knew his daughter’s involvement was part of it.
I was so elated so much that I had a big grin. I felt a weight lifted, knowing we had caught a break.

Maybe not a solution but a break, a massive break! I could not wait to get
on with the rest of the plan.
