“How are you so sure?” I asked him.
“It is her hand writing” he threw the note on the floor. “I’ll help you in finding Lara”
“Why would you?”
“Maybe because I hate Heather” he went out of the house.
I picked up the note just in case I needed it later on and then followed him out. He gave me an earphone. “Sure you know how to use it”
“Yes”
He nodded and went to his car. I wore the earpiece.
“can you hear me?” I heard him through the earpiece.
“Yes”
“Great. You should follow my car, I will take you to her place”
“Fine”
I knew that he really did hate Heather, so I decided to believe him on this. Whatever the case maybe, I will handle it.
“What are we gonna do?” I asked as I sat down in my car and followed his’.
“You’ll get Lara and then I will take my revenge”
“Okay”
I didn’t wanna argue with him about anything.
We soon stopped in front of a big house. “Front door?” I asked him.
“Of course. I will go first. It will seem like a peace agreement. Okay?”
“Hm”
I parked my car out of the sight of anyone living in the house and was ready to intrude as I stood near the building.
I focused on my earpiece and waited for him to start the conversation.
soon I heard him speaking, “Hello Heather”
“You are so shameless. What are you here for? begging for my love?”
“I am here for you to know that we can have a peace agreement”
“Really? Why would I be interested in something like that?”
“Because I know everything about you and maybe I have contact with the FBI”
I heard her vicious laugh. “Doesn’t matter. I am not scared”
“Come on” I heard him and I went to the front gate and she looked at me shocked.
“V-Vincent Smith?”
“You dare hurt my sister in law?” I smirked. “Time for a little revenge”
“You cheap man! You can’t do anything on your own, can you!?” I heard Heather as she humiliated Chris.
“I can,” he smirked. “Wanna know what?”
“What?” she laughed. She was completely oblivious that Chris could also do something to hurt her. He took out his phone.
“I have earned my position by hard work and thus this was also possible due to my hard work”
“This what?”
I also did not know what he was up to. He dialled a number and cut the call. “Who did you call?”
“Federal Bureau of Investigation”
“And for what?” she laughed.
“Dishonesty towards a prominent figure, kidnapping and abusing a woman in addition to getting her own people shot and betrayal”
“What?” her laugh faded. I smirked too, he was quite smart. Heather got her own people shot when I was trying to kidnap Ashley.
“You should go inside. I am sure Lara is inside”
I nodded and went inside. Heather didn’t stop me and I searched for her everywhere. I finally saw her and ran to her.
“Are you okay?”
She was tied and a cloth was wrapped around her mouth preventing her from speaking anything. She looked extremely pale.
I unwrapped the cloth around her mouth. She was so restless and energy less that she fell to the ground when I untied her hands and legs.
I didn’t know what was going on.
I called a doctor and looked at her. I checked her pulse and it looked fine. At least she was alive.
The doctor arrived in five minutes and I let them check her.
“She is mildly poisoned. We have to admit her to the hospital”
“Okay” I said and then the ambulance was called. They took her to the hospital and I met Chris.
“Was she okay…?” he asked.
“yeah, mildly poisoned. Gonna be okay”
He heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. The FBI will come soon. You should go to the hospital and take Ashley”
I nodded.
“And bro” he called me and I looked at him. “I am glad we did it together”
I didn’t reply. He couldn’t and shouldn’t expect me to be friends with him.
I went back to the house. “Hey! Did you find her?”
“Yeah. She is in the hospital now. She is gonna be okay”
She was sad, yet she smiled. “That’s good! Let’s go”
“Uh…” I sighed. “I wanna stay back. Do you wanna go?”
“Um… she will be okay, right?”
“Yes”
“Okay… then I will stay too”
I nodded. The truth was, whatever the case was, I still didn’t like Lara at all. I hated her from my heart and that’s why I wasn’t interested in going and seeing her.
I’d rather sit and have a chat with Ashley. I know she wants to visit her, but it will be okay if I just stay because I don’t wanna get angry.
I saved her and I guess that’s enough already.
We talked for a few minutes, and then suddenly my phone rang.
“Hey?”
“This is from the Hospital. We are really sorry to inform you that Ms. Lara Jones didn’t make it”
