The car ride to the alliance was silent, I could just tell by the way Brandon was acting that he wasn't happy. But I didn't actually understand why, having a new member on our team will be great. We get to train him into an incredible agent, that's what me and Riley enjoyed with Brandon. Riley would be the more harsh one out of us, while I would be much more caring and compassionate.
I take a look over at him, he might look annoyed but I could tell by his expression that he was upset more than anything. I sigh looking out the window but then turn to him again."Are you really going to allow us to just sit in silence for hours?" I aak breaking the ever-long silence, it was his turn to sigh but does nod."Morgan is trying to replace me I just know it" he sighs which does make me give him a weird look, that was far from the truth "before you try and say otherwise, I can just tell" he says looking as though he was about to cry on the spot, where did he evenWe finished just before the end of the stack of papers, I would have carried on but Julian was literally falling asleep. I could have forced him to carry on but that wouldn't have been right, I also know what next two people will be on that list. We went to bed around 2am, still Morgan and Toby wasn't back, I was growing worried but I knew if something happened I would have heard about it. Waking up this morning alone was weird, for the last few weeks I've had Toby waking up beside me. But it did mean that I could get up bright and early and start work, the list of victims will be finished in less than an hour so we could get on with more work. It was around 6am when I walk into the main room, Brandon, Julian and Lukas were already there waiting, but no Morgan. I walk over to his desk slightly where it does calm me, his gun was sat in his draw which meant he and Toby arrived safe last night. "I heard Toby walking to bed around 4am, so he won't be awake
Toby was soon close behind me as we both walk back into the main room, Morgan was still looking over at the wall of victims with Julian and Brandon. "Hey Taylor, we need that clever brain of yours" he says without turning around to look at me, I send a smile to Toby who as I pass smacks my butt before I making my way over to join the guys at the board "just look for something, maybe a pattern" he tells me moving aside so I could look, where my eyes begin to scan the board. I go from each victim just taking all the little details in, where they were found, when they were found, how did he beat them and what was left. Wait, what was left? I get closer looking at the details from what was left behind, something I never really payed any attention to in the past. "I know that face, your clever brain is starting to work" Morgan smiles from beside me as I start comparing things, than it comes to me. "I think I've got it, I don't know what the it is b
A few hours go by until I'm fully ready for the dinner, I don't get to dress up that often due to my work so when the opportunity arises, you know I go all out. As it was more of a fancy dinner, I wore a red silky dress with a slit up the side, I paired the dress with a pair of silver high heels and a pair of stud earrings. I take a look at myself in the mirror and smile, I look and feel like a normal girl. I know how that sounds but I'm surrounded by men all the time, not that there's anything wrong with that because I love my job and the people I work with. But I guess there's just sometimes I wanna feel normal, I take one more look at myself before grabbing my key card and leaving my room. I make my way down the hall, the noise from my heels filling the little space. A few years ago if I tried to walk in these, I probably would have fell flat on my face. Riley and I had to go undercover about a year ago, when we were preparing they all had a laugh that I looked like a p
I drove the first half of the way so Toby wouldn't know where the alliance was, it was crazy the amount of times Toby's been out of the alliance and he still hasn't got a clue where it is. I pull up just before we reach the place so Toby could take over, people might asks questions if they see me driving into the fancy dinner and not Toby. Honestly, I was happy he took over as I haven't fully mastered how to drive in heels yet. We soon spot a bunch of cars lining up to go into a huge mansion, this must be place and woah there's gonna be a lot of people there! The mansion was very elegant, it was huge with lights going around each window, people in even posher outfits walking around. Down in the front entrance were valets, that would open the door to the Alpha who would run around and open his mates door. The queue was rather long but was going quickly, as I take a closer look I see a man checking the women's necks before they walk in. "They're checking for marks"
I thought the outside of this huge mansion was elegant, it does not compare to how fancy the inside looked, whoever owns this place is really rolling in the money. Toby continues to lead me further into the building, many people were stood around in fancy clothes, drinking fancy drinks, probably talking about fancy things. This place was packed with people everywhere, it reminded me of the lunch hall back at the alliance I avoid like the plague. We soon arrive in a gigantic ballroom, the walls were gold with balconies up the top. This place was even louder than the halls we just walked down, this is gonna be fun, eye freakin' roll. "Are my eyes deceiving me, Toby?" A man just across the room says astonished, Toby stops in his tracks looking over at the man with a smile on his face "you're the last person I thought I'd see here" he smiles as we walk over and stand beside him and who I'm guessing is his mate. He wore a black suit, with his hair slicked back so it w
I remain as quiet as I can, I couldn't let whoever this dude was find me here! He pulls something out of the draw before leaving the room once again, I looked in all the draws and they were completely empty, apart from a document about the rent, why would he need that? "They're about to start a speech at the front, where are you?" Toby asks snapping me out of my questioning thoughts, I did need to hear whatever speech they were gonna give. I crawl back from under the desk and stand up straight, I fix my dress and hair before walking towards the door of the office. I slowly open the door to make sure the dude wasn't still out there, I stick my head out first looking both ways to see both hallways clear. I quickly leave the office and make my way down the hall and towards the stairs but before I could make it, someone takes ahold of my arm and stops me. "What are you doing up here?" A man asks me, he held my arm in such a tight grip that it was starting t
I had two of the men pulling them along, Denton being one of them. For the whole way outside, he just kept saying how this wasn't the end for M.S.P and there was a bigger boss who will continue with his work, does he think he's in some kind of movie? Even as the trucks to take them to the alliance came into view, he didn't shut up. Even some of the people outside were getting arrested, so this was one big plan! "You people think it's over" Denton continues as I put the cuffs around his ankles, waist and hands, just like what we did with Toby "I don't know how you found me this time, but you aren't finding him-" he starts to rant but Morgan places the sack on his head, before throwing him into the back of the van. "Finally, it's like that dude likes the sound of his own voice" I say before cuffing the rest of the guys, one by one they're thrown into the back of the van with Denton. "Are you okay?" Morgan asks as I bolt the heavy duty lock to the back of
It was a few days after the explosion, I'm totally fine maybe my arms are a little sore but that's it. But annoyingly, Morgan said I need a few days off which at first I thought he was joking, but no I've been off for two days! He was gonna keep me off for longer but I begged him last night, which he finally agreed to. Toby has been by my side every second, he wouldn't leave me alone to even go to the toilet, let's just say our relationship has got closer due to that. He didn't like the idea of me going back to work so soon either, but I need to be here not laying in bed all day. He went back to his room to get some things, while I made my way alone to the main room. I didn't think I would ever miss this corridor, but it was bringing a happy tear to my eye as I make my way down. I scan my key card opening the door up, all eyes go to me as I walk in. Brandon, Julian and Morgan were all sat in the room waiting. "Taylor!" Brandon exclaims running over to me, he's a
We pull into the alliance with Richard in the back, we didn't even have to stop at the gate as it was already open. The guard at the door sends me a clap as I drove in, I guess the news of us finally catching Richard has got out. Lukas was sat beside me in the same blindfold, but the smile could still be seen on his face. "I can hear everyone's so happy that you've caught him" he smiles as I round the corner to our section, everyone still clapping as we went by. "We caught him, I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help" I smile pulling the car up in the parking space, I get out the car thanking the people that would congratulate me as I went by. I open Richards door unclipping his seatbelt, he hadn't said a word since I placed him in the back. But he follows where I pull him to also get out the car, I than go around and help Lukas to get out of the car and lead them both into the building. Once we were inside, Lukas was able to take the blind
The metal stairs creaked under our feet as we climbed them, maybe having two of us walking up them at the same time wasn't the brightest of idea's. In no time my hair began to blow in the wind as we climbed higher, maybe I should have brought a hair band of some kind. We soon take the last step and were standing on the roof, but it appeared to be only us on this roof. We walk away from the stairs slightly and look around, there isn't anywhere he could be hiding on this place! "We know he has to be here due to the note" I say holding the note in the air looking around, I couldn't help the bad feeling that was growing inside of me. "Or he's just done this to mess with us, why is the man that is supposed to be my father like this?!" Lukas asks throwing his arms in the air in frustration, I just sigh looking out into the distance where I actually see the pack house in Toby's pack, I didn't know we were this close to that place. "Now you may see why I left y
Neither of us spoke on the car ride to the warehouse, the vibe in the car was tense and anxious over the next moments ahead. In a few short hours, this whole situation with Richard could come to an end or take an even bigger shift and turn no one is expecting. In my mind I was going over the plan and everything that we knew, which helped me not to worry over the little details. From all the letters Richard has been sending me, we know he has some kind of care towards me so I don't think I need to worry about him surprise attacking us. But I also know how much Richard goes over things, he could have been coming up with this plan from the start and wants me to feel comfortable, then he'll attack. What was keeping me even more calm were three things, how close Toby's pack was to the warehouse, the fact Brandon and the team would be watching our every move and finally, the fact I had Lukas with me. If I had to do this all by myself I don't think I would have agreed so quickly, but with h
I was soon walking back into the main room with the information that I knew, a lot had changed for me while I was in that room but nothing had in here. Toby and Julian were still having a screaming match in the middle of the room. Brandon was sat at his laptop but sends me a look when I walk in, while Lukas was sat with a blank face watching the two guys in front of him. My eyes go to Toby where I could just tell by his face, if he could he would have shifted by now. I sigh making my way over to the middle of the room, moving past Morgan to stand in front of Toby blocking his view of Julian. "I think we all need to calm down, how is any of this helping to catch Richard?" I ask placing my back against Toby while walking backwards, slowly he was walking back with me "while you two were comparing penis sizes, I was doing work with the help of Brandon" I say having to really push hard on Toby, after the penis comment he didn't want to move. "You don't need to compare, you already know
I walk back into the living area where Brandon was sat on the chest of drawers, I know he just heard the whole conversation I had with my mother as he opens his arms up. I walk over accepting the hug thanking him. "What you said back there was all true, she deserves to be put away for hiding Richard" he tells me giving me one last squeeze before we both pull away, I nod my head agreeing with him while the Alpha walks in the room with my mother, also closing the door. Before I had the time to walk over to see what he was doing, Julian runs out from wherever he was holding a piece of paper in his hands. Without speaking, I'm handed this mystery paper. It read. "Dearest Taylor, Once again, I know you're so close to finding everything out so you'll find this no problem. Now you know about my secret identity and your mother and me marrying, I know I'll soon be caught. You're so kind that I know you might allow me this, before I'm willing
"Get on the ground!" I shout as she takes even more slow steps out of the room, her eyes go to me where she immediately, starts to well up. "Taylor" she says starting to cry as she went, I've had enough of people crying when they see me so this wasn't bothering me anymore. "I said get on the ground" I repeat walking closer to her, she finally does listen and drops down to her knees full blown crying. Brandon runs in the room behind her to check if Richard is in there, but he soon runs back out shaking his head. As he was still behind my mum, he cuffs her hands behind her back before pushing her down to the floor. "He isn't in any of the other rooms either"Julian says from behind me, either he wasn't home and we just picked a bad time or he saw us and fled, I needed to know which one is was. "Where's Richard?" I ask pulling her to stand up, she was still in floods of tears shaking her head "I don't care how upset you are, we need to k
When I walk back into the main room, it was pure chaos. Brandon and Julian were running around working, Morgan was shouting down the phone at whoever knows who and the two guys looked as though they were gonna puke. I stand on one of the tables and throw a box of files on the floor, it landed which a thud which did make all eyes turn to look at me. "This room is starting to resemble the lunch hall and we all know how much I despise that place, I know we have so much work to do but let's not go crazy!" I exclaim as Morgan hangs up the phone, I guess that person is having a little break from all the screaming."We've been trying to track down Charles Peterson or even Venessa Peterson, but we can't find any record of them on any high tech computers" Morgan tells me still standing behind his desk, what I had to work out was how I'm going to be able to get off this table without injuring myself, I didn't think this plan through."That's because you're looking
"I will answer anything you ask me" he says as I open the file on Richard, this could be the closet we'll get to catching him, I know I keep saying that."Do you know anywhere we could find him, we know about his place in no territory but is there anywhere else?" I ask pulling the photos Brandon took of that building, before all the rouges turned up and caused trouble. "I rarely had any contact with Richard throughout the years, I always went through Denton to keep who I was hidden from Richard" he tells me which wasn't great, all the things he's gonna tell me might be what Denton has already told us since being here "but once you guys caught Denton, I knew I'd have to do my own research on Richard so I know he wouldn't turn against us" he says successfully peaking my interest, he might be useful after all. Brandon is amazing at his job and can find things that no one else can, but when it comes to criminals sometimes they're able to hide some things tha
I was now making my way back into the alliance building, having to drag two very hungover men with me. Both still in blindfolds, but I knew they kind of enjoyed the fact they didn't have to look at the sun. We decided it would be better to stay at the pack last night, the party didn't end until maybe 4am and both Toby and Lukas were completely hammered. But it did give me a chance to see Toby's house and pick out some clothes for me when I visit there. We're making plans for me to stay there but I still don't know what I'm gonna do at this place, I wish there was a way for me to continue to be an alliance agent and stay at Toby's pack. "Our pack" he groans pulling the blindfold off now we're in the building, Lukas keeps his on and tells me just to lead him to the main room. I just laugh a little leading both guys into the main room, where the team where already waiting for us in there. Both guys just walk over to the back of the room, Lukas forgetting to take his
