“Here we are." Alessandro parked the car under a tree, turning off the engine. “We are just in time; the lights are still on.”Alexander grabbed the front seat and held the binoculars in his eyes. He glanced at the building; the lights were on, just like Alessandro said. The curtains were drawn, and it was sure that Jake's mother was still indoors.According to Yulia's research, she always left the house in her old truck and headed for a place where they had no idea where it was.“We're thirty minutes early," Yulia murmured, glancing at her watch. "We need to get in before she notices us.”Alexander pulled the binoculars from his eyes and handed them to Yulia, who looked at the building through them.“What do you think she is doing?" Alexander inquired, his eyes scanning the building.“Probably getting ready to leave. Let's go in now.” Yulia replied.She handed the binoculars to Alessandro. Alexander took the cameras that he had gotten from Nelson. He handed all of it to Yulia, who du
Hesitating for a while, the woman sat down and picked up the identification card. She studied the card before raising her head to look at Solia."So you weren't sent by my son?”She shook her head. “ "No, but I need your help to find him. He's involved in some serious trouble.”The woman's gaze relaxed, and she threw back the ID to Solia. “I am aware.”"Could you share some information about your son?”The woman dropped the knife that she was holding and walked over to where Solia was standing. She was just about to let Yulia out but paused as the woman approached her.She wondered what was on the woman's mind. With the way the woman walked, she could guess that the plan that the woman had for her wasn't nice. However, she was at full alert.Placing her hand on her waist, she held onto the edge of a knife that she held with her. The woman wouldn't be able to see the knife due to the direction.Solia hated the talking job, but Yulia was good at it. She wanted to beat the woman to the pu
“We found her!” He snaps at the person at the other end of the phone. “But she is already dead.”Several sheriff's were gathered around the building. The house was already taped with the word crime scene. The buzzing of phones could be heard, followed by the sound of the siren of the ambulance.They had searched the environment and still haven't found anything that could give the leads about the attack on the house.“How is she dead?” The person at the other end demanded. “How could someone else find her before you did?”Ryker ran his hand through his hair. “I have no idea. The window was shattered, and baseball bats were set in every corner of the house. I think she was ambushed and killed, but that attacker is dead.”“How many dead bodies were found?"“About ten.”“Are there any cameras around?"“Yes.”“Did you find anything?”“No.”“How is that possible?”Ryker's gaze trailed to the camera that was already broken. “Broken cameras and empty memory. It seems that someone destroyed th
Alexander rang the doorbell of the house, his gaze scanning the place. Alessandro stood next to him with his hand in his pocket.After a long ride, they finally ended up at the last girl's home. None of the ladies that had gone told them anything about Jake. They only claimed that they had already broken their relationships and knew nothing about his whereabouts.He hoped that Jake's last ex was still going to know something about him. The girl was a college student and lived in a dorm. From Yulia's research, she shared a room with three more females.Alexander rang the doorbell again after waiting for fifteen minutes and hearing nothing. They had managed to sneak into the dorm without anyone seeing them. Now Alexander regretted the fact that he hadn't climbed up their window instead, and it was all his brother's fault.“You should respect ladies' privacy, and if you want them to tell us about Jake, You have to be nice to them.” Those were the stupid words that his brother had said to
She adjusted her glasses and popped her head out of the wall. She was in a bar, and she was putting on a waitress outfit. Her eye color was different, and she was also wearing a red wig.Red hair, blue eyes. She made her way towards the bartender. Since she had hacked into Ryker's smartwatch, she found he was heading to this bar.She needed to be the one to serve him and also try to get him drugs. If he could spill all of the information that he had against Jake, it was going to help them a lot.Also, she needed to find out about his past. He looked familiar, and she had no idea where she had seen him before. Just as she was about to get to the bartender, her phone buzzed in her left pocket.She reached out to it and glanced at the caller ID. It was Alexander; her brows furrowed. Was he home yet? She refused to take the call and checked his location first on her phone.It was going to be a two-hour drive before Alexander was going to be home. She needed two hours, and then she was goi
He offered her a bright smile, yet to her dismay, there was a glare hiding behind that smile. She tried to get away from his grip, but he wouldn't bulge.His hand was firmly on her waist, and she pulled him towards himself. Her nails itched to leave their mark on him, her fingers curling into tight fists as she resisted the urge to tell him that she was engaged, but that was only going to ruin her plans.She didn't mean to use his name for her own benefit, but everything turned out that way.“Didn't I tell you not to work here anymore?” Ryker leered at her.She looked away from him. “Wipe that smirk off your face; it doesn't suit you. Perhaps you could smile more genuinely; it suits your aura."Her eyes trailed towards behind him; the men that he came in with eyes were rounded in shock with their jaws hanging open.“You did like to be my girlfriend.” He leaned in to whisper in her ear. “I am helping you out.”She glared at him, but replaced it with a smile. “Thanks.” A smile crossed h
He riveted his eyes on her. She wore a pouty expression, staring at him, waiting for him to stop the car and let her out. A subtle curve formed on his lips, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He maintained the speed, ignoring her plea to stop the car. Catching her off guard, she slammed her back against the seat but clutched tightly to it.“You know this is kidnapping, Mr. Sterling,” she glared at him. “If you don't stop this car and let me out right now, I am going to jump off the car and blame you for it.”“You won't dare,” he uttered. “I already locked the door; you can't get off if I don't unlock it.”She tried, and the door wouldn't budge. “You have to let me go!”“Not until I know if you are a spy sent by Jake to stop me.”She raised a brow at him and folded her arms. “So you think I know this Jake that you are talking about? Who the hell is he?”“If you don't work for Jake, do you work for the fake FBI then?”Her brow furrowed, disbelief etched on her face. Who in the world would
“Why am I home so early?” He demanded, taking a step closer to her while she stepped back.She bit her lips; she had checked the tracker, and he wasn't going to be home sooner. She wondered why he was home so early; her eyes darted as she tried to get a glimpse of Alessandro, but he was nowhere to be found.“Where were you?” He questioned her, his eyes trailing down her body. “Why are you wearing that?”Oh no.She could have changed into something different, but she never knew that he was home.“Aren't you supposed to be back in thirty minutes?” She replied with a question.“Were you tracking me? "She shook her head. “Sort of.”He stepped closer to her until her back was pressing against the wall. His hand was caging her against the wall; he was still glaring at her.“Why do I smell a man's cologne on you?"She bit her lips, trying to come up with lies if she told him that she went to see the FBI. He was going to attack innocent Ryker for carrying her.“This is just the doctor's colo
