Tony was getting impatient waiting for Alice to be out of the shower room. Fifteen minutes had passed and Alice was still inside the shower,thought Tony. Slowly Tony tiptoed and open the bathroom door cautiously. The hot steaming air from the shower hit Tony in his face. But there was no sign of Alice. Where had she gone?
Alice grew suspicious when she phoned the two hired killers. There was no answer from anyone of them. She suspected they were in trouble and so she fled her room but left the shower tap running to throw her enemy off guard. This would have given her at least 15 minutes advantage over her pursuer. By then she would have disappeared completely without a trace.
On seeing that he was fooled by Alice, Tony called Maniam who was in his room guarding the two assailants and asked for info regarding Alice's whereabouts. Maniam interrogated the two and almost blew their heads off with his gun for not co-operating. The fact was the two men didn't know about Alice's whereabouts either.
Tony went back to his room and sought Manian's advice on what to do next.
Tony and Manian decided to fly to Singapore to confront Joe. They wanted Joe to explain the assassination attempt on Tony's life.
After handing the earlier two assailants to the authority in Malaysia,Tony and Manian caught a MH flight from Ipoh to KL and then switched to a SQ flight to S'pore.
After arriving at Changi Airport, they took a taxi and sped off to Shenton Way where Joe's office was located. They did not wanna call Joe because they wanna surprise him.
After paying the taxi driver, Tony and Manian took an elevator to the 20th storey of the building where Joe was.
Joe had a small office overlooking the sea. It was a neat and compact place with 2 desktops, a fax machine and 2 office telephones. Joe did not have many employees. In reality, his was an OMO (one man operation).
Tony cautiously and slowly opened the door to Joe's office. All at once Joe jumped out of his chair on seeing Tony and Manian. Joe didn't know Manian but knew Tony. Joe was shocked to see Tony. "I thought you were dead Tony" said the shivering Joe. Manian stranglehold Joe while Tony took out his gun and attached the silencer. He shoved the tip of the silencer into Joe's mouth and demanded an answer as to why he wanted to kill him.

After Alice fled her room in the Ipoh hotel, Joe received an sms from Alice's mobile phone with the message "Plan executed, Tony's gone".
Joe tried calling Alice but there was no answer from her mobile. Joe assumed that Alice's mobile battery must have gone flat.
Back to the Shenton Way office where the action was, Joe was naturally shocked to see Tony whom he thought was dead.
With the gun slowly moved away from him, Joe started to explain to Tony his reason for wanting to kill him.
Many years ago, according to Joe, his younger brother Ben was arrested for stabbing a young friend to death during a gambling session. Due to his age (16 then) Ben was confined to a prison for young offenders at Bedok (Reformative Training Center or RTC). Ben's crime was murder and he was place under "The President Pleasure" category which means he could only be released if the president pardoned him. As for the other young offenders whose crime were not very serious they had a release date.
However, Ben was released after the president pardoned him 3 years later for good behaviour in the prison.
After obtaining his freedom, Ben was unrepentant and went back to crime. He had established lots of contact with the underworld whilst in RTC.
One of the first things Ben did upon his release from RTC was to get a revolver. He wanted to commit robberies with his friends. He wanted an easy life with plenty of money to spend. Ben also wanted to show the underworld that he was brave and notorious.
One day, just before Ben and his friends could carry out their plan to rob a goldsmith shop at Geylang, the police got wind of their plan and laid an ambush. In the ensuing gunfight, Ben was shot by a young dectective. Ben was arrested and sent to jail paralysed from the waist down. A year later, Ben committed suicide in Changi Prison. This was the one and only reason Joe explained he wanted to avenge his younger brother's death and it was Tony who happened to be the young detective who shot Ben.
Tony believed Joe's story. However, he still wanted to turn Joe to the authority for the attempted murder on his life. Joe begged Tony not to report him and offered money as compensation. Joe showed Tony and Maniam the stacks of $10,000 and $1,000 notes in his safe. He offered Tony $300,000 if he did not turn him to the police.
After much assurance from Joe that he would leave Tony alone and not haunt him anymore that Tony accepted the cash.
Joe and Tony settled the matter amicably.
But now what has happened to Alice, why did she send an sms that said Tony was killed,why did she lie to Joe?............
