Chapter 4

"Hey calm down Ruby," Drake assured me once we were out from his office. "I can’t okay! He’s the one who wants him dead but he doesn’t have any idea of his location. I mean Benjamin Castro could probably be in Mexico sipping tequila but we can’t go there. There are guards everywhere. Going there to kill him is like a suicide mission and he should at least give us an idea or something!" I ran my fingers to my hair feeling frustrated.

"I know we’ll figure it out."

"Of course we will or not we’ll be dead too." I snapped.

Drake and I drove back home and start figuring out Benjamin's location. I quickly head to my room and plopped on my bed. Getting up, I changed my outfit into comfortable ones. Taking out my laptop, I lean to the headboard of my bed and start searching about Benjamin Castro.

I don’t know how long I sat in the bed searching for his location. All I know is once I looked to the window it’s starting to get dark.

Typing furiously on my laptop, I try to find more information about Benjamin Castro. I need to know where his location and where he lives. Michael said, his man spotted him going back and forth from Mexico to Los Angeles. I open the file that Michael gave me and scanned his picture.

The picture is where he goes to the club, playing golf, having lunch, and in a neighborhood. I looked at the other picture and it’s the same. I scrunched my eyebrow in confusion. Most of the pictures had been taking almost in the exact location.

A neighborhood.                                                           

I immediately stood up, taking the laptop and file with me, and head downstairs. I saw all of my team is in the living room except Blake and Matthew. They probably have a mission. Settling myself on the couch, I put my laptop and file down. They all looked at me confused.

"What’s with the laptop?" Austin asks.

"I found something about Benjamin." Drake went to me and seat next to me. "What did you find?"

"Here, look at the picture." I handed him the file. Drake frowned as he sees the photo. "Who’s Benjamin?" Austin asks.

I looked at Austin "Michael assigned us to kill him but he doesn’t know his location. That’s the reason why I’m doing this." I gestured to the file and laptop in front of me.

"What’s wrong with the picture?" Taking the picture from his grasp, I put the entire picture that has the same background on the table. "Look at this." I pointed at the first picture. "Look at the background, he’s in a neighborhood." I turned to drake. He nods his head. "And look at the next picture." I showed him the second picture.

"The same background only in a different angle. Now, look at the rest of it." Drake scans the picture while scrunching his eyebrow. "It’s almost in the same neighborhood." I nodded my head.

"But what that has to do with the mission?" Drake turns to me. "Michael said, he doesn’t know Castro's location right?" Drake nods. "There might be a chance we could find Benjamin."

"Where?"

"Here." I pointed at the picture. "You mean we have to go there?" I nodded my head. "Will Benjamin really be there?"

"I don’t know."

"Then why would we go there?!" Drake looked at my disbelief. "I think he’s hiding something."

"Or someone," Emily said. I nodded.

"What could he possibly be hiding?" Drake asks.

"A family."

"What? The information says, he’s single and why all of a sudden you said he has a family?" I rolled my eyes. "Why are you so slow? Obviously, he’s hiding his family because he is Sanchez's second in command. Therefore if the mafia knows he has a child, they have to bring the child to the mafia and raise them there." Drake's mouth formed into an O.

"So he’s hiding his family there?"

"Oh, Christ!" I put my hands up exasperatedly. Austin smacked the back of his head. "Ruby said that earlier you dumbass." Drake glared at him while rubbing the back of his head.

"I was just making sure!" Drake said defensively. "Yeah, you just making sure that I got a headache," I said sarcastically.

"You guys are so dramatic," Drake mutters but loud enough for me to hear since I’m on his side.

"Yeah, sure we are. Moving on, it means his wife knows he works for the mafia and probably might know his whereabouts."

"Wait, so you guys will kill his family too?" Emily asks. I shook my head. "Michael only said we have to kill Benjamin. His wife probably doesn’t know he’s in the mafia before deciding to marry him." the front door opens, revealing Matthew and a bloody Blake. My eyes widen seeing his arms.

"What happen to you?" I got up and walked to him. "Did Matthew do a mistake again?" I turned to Matthew and glared at him. "Geez, woman! It’s not me." I took the First aid kits from the bathroom and pulled drake to a seat on the couch. I open the sleeve of his shirt and treat his wounds.

"What happened?" I heard him sighed. "I was in a hurry and when I turn to the corner, a guy stabbed me in the arm." I clean all the blood in his arms and stitch the wound in his arm. He hissed in pain once I start to stitch him.

Matthew walked to the table and see all the pictures scattered on the table. "What are you guys doing?"

"We need to find Benjamin's whereabouts," Drake answers for me.

"Benjamin Castro?"

"Yup, the one and only. We have been assigned to kill him." I finish the last stitches and put everything back in the kits. "Have you guys found his location?"

"Thanks to ruby with his swift mind we are being able to find his location."

"Not yet though, we have to confront his wife remember?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." I rolled my eyes. "Benjamin Castro has a wife?" Blake asks. I turned to him and nodded. "Yes he has, but he hides her along with his child." Blake furrowed his eyebrow.

"How do you know?" I point to the picture. "Just look at it." Matthew and Blake took the picture.

"The rest of the picture almost in the same location, so I assume he hides someone in that neighborhood." Matthew looked up. "And where is this place located?" I looked at my laptop. "Los Angeles but I don’t know the exact location of that neighborhood yet."

"I’ll help you with that," Matt said. I nodded my head. "Thanks, matt."

"Are you sure that he has a child?" Austin asks. I turned to him. "What you don’t believe me?"

"Well..."

"Let’s have a bet, if I’m wrong, which I believe will never happen, I’ll do everything you say but if I’m right, you will do all the housework for a week. How’s that?" all eyes are on him. "Fine, deal," I smirked.

"When we will go there?" Drake asks. "Tomorrow. Prepare the jet." Blake instantly looked in my direction. "Tomorrow? Isn’t it too early?"

"No, cause we still have a lot of things to do. The faster we go there, there faster we go back to new york."
