BRIAN’S POV Sebastine was completely frozen to be hearing our discovery and now we had full team of five.Stacy thought that this was a case to be handled by ourselves and not handed to the police. “Trust me, I have dealt with high-level criminals like her, and people like her only go down to the grave.” Stacy said, as we sat down in our hotel room to discuss. Luckily, we had a free hotel room for Collins and Stacy, and even though it was not so much of a honeymoon anymore, I constantly hoped that the space was working for them. We didn’t arrive and run straight to Vegas, we had to strategize for a few days at Primm, and on the first night, it was a meeting with the team. “I couldn’t care any less if she made it out dead or alive,” Brian shared his few. Sebastine’s silence and the reserved look in his shared his obvious desire for her to be alive and I also just wanted to see her rot in jail and think her life choices over and over. I also would want closure and some answers, s
BLAIR’S POV We followed Ronald into the warehouse building, all our hearts seeking answers, the curiosity on our faces could not be hidden.“As much as you don’t want to hear this, she’s innocent of the crimes,” Ronald said, “Well, most of it.”“Not to say that she doesn’t have a couple of dark secrets herself, but there is someone else.” He said. “This does not make any sense.” Brian said, after critically thinking. “What you are trying to tell us, is that Mrs. Williams has a lookalike, roaming the streets of Vegas, who somehow happened to be some sort of crime lord?” Brian translated everything Ronald had been explaining. Ronald had gone over his explanation over and over again, three times now, but it was indeed a hard pill to swallow and believing it was just very difficult. “Whether it is a look alike, or a twin, no one knows for sure yet,” Ronald said. “Or it’s just her evil self, roaming the streets and executing her heart’s content.” Brian said, rolling his eyes to back
BLAIR’S POVJane was not showing no interest in speaking with us and it was already sun down. My father and Ashley started trying to reach her phone, three hours after her arrival and they hadn’t stopped since then. “I did not tell them anything about where I was going, of course they will be worried.” She said, as we continued to complain about their now incessant calls. “We would make no progress like this,” Brian said, “No, we won’t,” Brian said, “but we also can’t keep her here,” I said. “My father would be worried sick and you can’t tell how he’s going to react,” “She already spent days indoors and you saw how he took that. Her leaving home and walking out without a single word would stress him further and I am unwilling to have a heart attack on my hands.”Jane was already very weak, but she kept staring at us, allowing us to make fools of ourselves. “We have to let her go,” Stacy said. Brian was now more invested in this case than any of us. He had mentioned countless t
BLAIR’S POV “I find it hard to believe that you do not know this imposter.” Brian said, “Yea,” Collins supported. “If someone has been roaming around town in your face, for the decades now, isn’t that enough time to find whoever it is?” Collins asked. “Exactly my point,” Brian said, “I mean, you are Jane Williams, and as far as the state CID is concerned, you are one of their best,”“The finest of the finest,” Stacy chipped in, “Surely, if there was someone else, you would know, unless…” Stacy paused. We were all keen to hear what Stacy had to say, especially since she had higher experience in complicated matters as such. She looked very deep in thoughts for a while. “Stacy? Unless?” Brian urged her. “Unless, somehow, all of this benefit you.” Stacy said, Jane’s eyes widened a bit. We all saw a lot of sense in her analysis. “So, what’s in it for you?” I probed. Jane was quiet, while the rest of us just tried to think out what indeed was going on. “There are systems that b
BLAIR’S POV It was both creepy, but yet quite a relief that they were expecting us, as it kind of just set the mood. “Oh, she came with a party,” the other lady said. Roberts got out of the sofa and the lady followed. They were both covered under a duvet, at the time of our arrival. “Jane!” the woman called. “How have you been, sis,” she went to her with a hug. Jane did not reciprocate the energy and her confusion at that very moment, made me believe everything Jane was saying. She was obviously clueless on the lady before us.“Have a seat.” She gestured to us all. The woman was definitely sassier than Jane was, and in her presence, Jane was pretty very calm and modest. This was the first I was going to witness and it was out of this world to know that there was someone who’s mere presence alone humbled Jane so much. It was an executive lounge with a living room that had more than enough sofas to carry us all and since we were here for answers, we did not hesitate to seat. “I
BLAIR’S POV Apparently, Jennice meant every word of her dramatic pause. She served us tea and I wasn’t sure whether we were hypnotized or she was just that captivating, but we were drinking on her every word. It was only a few hours into the morning and breakfast was definitely appropriate. “I do not understand all of this,” Sebastine said, “Why were you willing to throw your sister under the bus, if you loved her so much?” “Yea, what if she got caught and prosecuted for all those crimes?” I chipped in. Jennice laughed, “Well, she handled it, did she?” Jennice responded. I couldn’t even look at this woman. I immediately felt very bad for Jane. All these years, I thought Jane was an evil and distasteful woman, I never would have though that she was just being a puppet in the hands of people that she did not know existed. She was just a frustrated woman, who could not talk about her pains, because the first time she did, to the people she loved and trusted, they made sure it w
BLAIR’S POV “Are we going to do it?” Sebastine asked. We returned to our room, after Jennice finally let us go. “Involve ourselves in an attack against the queen?” Brian asked, giving Sebastine a death stare.“Is there not an obvious answer to that question already, Sebastine?” he followed with another question. Of course, it was obvious that we couldn’t be involved in Jennice’s big bow, but Sebastine’s question was coming from a place of panic and to be fair, he wasn’t the only one who was terrified. We all were.Jennice had a big plan to run all of England bankrupt, or at least, crippled the Queen and she needed us all on the plan. “We have to report to the police,” Brian said, Jane erupted in laughter. “Bold of you to think that is an option, Brian,” she said, “What do you mean?” he probed. “You work with the police, Collins does too. You both were there, why can’t you bring her to book?” I asked, agreeing with Brian. “She has my criminal record,” Jane said, “And mine to
BLAIR’S POVWe all had no idea that England’s Queen had been extending invitations to Brian and he had a private pass to her. She was coming into the country the next day, so what ever decision we had to take, we had to do it immediately. This new information on Brian, made Jennice’s use for us make more sense, because I couldn’t in the life of me, wrap my head around why Jennice was going to need us, who were inexperienced and clueless on her job, to execute such a plan. A plan she called ‘her big bow,’ It was the billionaire pass and also the fact that if this went south, we were going to be taking the fall for all her offenses. Jane was identical to her, so we were going to be going down as her stupid crime team. “Her flight comes in at noon,” Jane said, “Brian, when is your appointment?” she probed. “What appointment?”“What are you talking about?” Brian queried Jane. “Shouldn’t you call the Queen and get an appointment?” Jane asked back. Brian was taken aback. “What are
