"Someone was here." Pierce sighed, quickly taking a seat. He watched Queenie's subtle expression before asking, "Who do you think must've done this?" "According to Floral, no one other than my parents knew the code to this office. Even my brothers and I didn't know." She said, putting on a confused look. "Then have you ever thought that the organization might've planted someone in the Knight's family or your mother's family? The sole reason why she had to make an office in your father's office." Pierce asked, tiling his head back a little. Queenie thought that his words made sense but she couldn't really prove it. She walked to a corner of the room where she had found odd and knocked slightly on it. The empty sound it threw back at her assured her there was something behind the walls. "Interesting." Pierce mumbled and walked towards her. Ever since he agreed to come with her, he made her promise to leave the hardwork for him while she focused on meager things such as questioning
Pierce and Queenie stayed in their tinted car as they watched the security guards patrolling around Keystone Bank. "You won't believe what I found out." Queenie said, taking her phone away from her ear. She had called Lucian to enquire about the bank. "Tell me." "This bank was set up by my mother and a few of her associates. I'm reckoning that organization has something to do with it. But in order not to get the citizens to suspect them, they acted like a normal bank." "Your mother had probably hidden something in here because she didn't think they'll search here. I mean, they'll term it stupid to search closeby since she really tried her best to hide it from them." Pierce nodded, his respect for Queenie's mother heightening. "And the Knight's is its major shareholder. No doubt, mother really played her card well." Queenie added. Being the major Investor, the company listened to her. Hiding something for her wasn't a big deal for them given her status. The duo glanced at each o
The next morning, Pierce dropped Queenie in front of a hospital. Before she left the car, he said, "Are you sure you don't want me in there with you? What if they come again?" "If they come again, they'll take it and if they die from its adverse effect, then so be it." Queenie retorted with a small smile. "They'll also be solving the issue about them being around. They are a danger to the community at large." Pierce nodded lightly and stared at Queenie for a long time that the woman even got embarrassed because of it. Over the past few months, the duo had unconsciously gotten really close that even Queenie felt the tension between. "Alright. I'll see whenever you're done." Pierce said and Queenie nodded. She hastily reached for the doorknob, turned it and alighted from the car. Pierce stared at her for a couple more seconds before stepping on the accelerator. "That was intense." Queenie mumbled and walked into the hospital. She walked straight to Dr. Saltzman's office who she ex
On his way to his grandfather's place, Pierce received a call. When he saw the caller's name, he frowned a little. "Whenever you're not plotting something, you're killing people and if you're doing none of them, you're on the run from someone. Which of them are you currently doing?" Benjamin scoffed from the other end. "I heard your wife found the cure. I reckon I should be getting mine." Pierce tightened his grip on the steering wheel and gave no reply. Benjamin sighed and added carefully, "You do remember the deal we had back then, don't you?" "My wife found it. You should be talking with her if you want to get one of the cures. So I'm afraid but I can't help you and this has nothing to do with the deal we had back then." Pierce retorted in a frigid tone. Benjamin went silent and Pierce could picture the frown on his face in his head. "In that case, are you insinuating the deal we made back then is useless?" "Stop bringing back that deal. You broke it when you killed Queenie
Queenie stayed in the laboratory doing what she picked up from her mother. In the course of doing so, she discovered something really fascinating about the cure her mother had made. At first, the medicine had looked pure and ready to be taken but after running three different tests on it, she noticed it was actually hazardous enough to kill a healthy human within ten seconds after it's ingestion. She spent the next hour trying to purify it but only managed to purify one bottle. In its pure form, she held up the bottle a little far from her eyes and gazed at it. Her phone soon vibrated in her pocket and she reached for it with her other hand. Without looking at the caller, she answered it. "I'm afraid we have a problem, Queenie." Pierce's voice came from the other end which prompted her to keep the bottle on the table."What is it?" She asked and the man went silent."However it happened, I don't know but Aaron has the first batch of the medicine in his system and it's reacting al
Queenie walked out of the laboratory ten minutes before Pierce arrived. Hence, she found somewhere to stay outside and took out her phone. She had made the video her mother made behind into an audio. In as much as she claimed she really didn't care about her mother, a part of couldn't help growing curious about the kind of person her mother was. Ever since yesterday when she returned from Maile, she had been playing the audio repeatedly in her earpiece but wasn't concentrating on it. As she sat outside, she increased the volume to the loudest and shut her eyes. She failed to believe her mother had only made three bottles of the last batch despite creating more than five monsters. She listened to the two minute audio five times but still got nothing. Opening her eyes, she sighed and got up when she saw Pierce's car stopping just a little farther from her. "Did I take long?" Pierce asked as soon as she got in and she shook her head. "I came out a little too early." The man nodded
"No, I'm not agreeing to anything he said in there." Queenie huffed as she walked out of Leonard's house. Pierce said nothing as he opened the door and ushered her in. Then he walked over to the driver's side and got in. "I also do not want to do what he wants, but you heard him. If we do not do what he wants, yes he's not going to tell us what we want to know." He reminded. Queenie said nothing as she directed her gaze outside the window. "So you just expect me to kill Raphael Dean because he's poke nosing into Leonard's business. What if Leonard has a change of heart and refuses to tell us what we know." "He won't." Pierce replied and started the car. "Whatever information he has doesn't warrant someone dying, Pierce. Think about this." Queenie said after a momentary silence. "Aaron's life is worth more than his. We're going to kill Raphael." And that ended the subject. "Can you drop me off at Deborah's? I need to ask her about the remaining doses of drugs for Aaron." Queeni
"Mishael Wade? Are we talking about the one that came to me a few years ago?" Queenie asked and Deborah nodded to her surprise. "But he is a good friend of mine and was a good friend to my mother.""Oh, that's what he wants you to believe." Deborah smiled, "Look, Queenie. You don't understand what people like us go through. Unlike you and other humans in perfect health, we fear our life might just end all of a sudden. And because of that, we tend to make decisions that might end up hurting a lot of people." "Mishael Wade isn't just a scientist who stopped a pandemic from breaking out, he was the reason the organization was created." Deborah suddenly said but stopped. She glanced around her and nodded towards the entrance of her house. "How about we discuss this while having a drink?" She suggested and Queenie nodded. Deborah led the way to her bar which was as enormous as Queenie had imagined. Queenie was one who relished in luxurious things but because she was consumed by curiosit
