Chapter 43 Strangely familiar
Elle got home and she sighed tiredly and then fell on the couch. She then opened her bag and took her phone, then her eyes widened.
"Twenty missed calls from Mamita and three missed calls from Damien"
She sighed again and then called Damien first. He answered the call immediately.
"Hey, where were you?" He asked.
"It's nothing. Do you know the latest plans of James?"
"He's planning another shipping of drugs. This night!" He said and her eyes widened. She stood up and rushed to the computer room. She got in and immediately powered all the computers and tracking devices.
She replayed some of the events that happened and sighed out.
"That damn man is not giving up. Is he?" She said.
"Anyway, did Mamita call you?" She further asked.
"No.."
"I didn't receive any calls from her..." Damien replied.
"That's surprising. I received so many calls from her. But don't worry, I'm going to call her back now..."
"And Damien, go to our suppliers and get new bullet proof vests for us. Take care.." She said and hung up.
Then she dalied Mamita's number but it was not available. Elle sighed again and then dailed Kiera's number. It was still saying the same thing again.
"I hope nothing is wrong there.." She said and then touched her chest before standing up.
Her mind flashed back to the earlier incident of today and she breathed out when she remembered Jason's angry face.
"Jason.."
"He looks angry.." She thought and hit her head momentarily.
"No, I can't get distracted. I'm starting to get distracted because of him. I need to keep my distance now and pretend to hate him. That would be better. I can't let my heart come in the way of my mission.." She thought and then closed her eyes. She then opened them and breathed out.
"Don't let your emotions control you. You should focus on your mission. Once I'm done with it, then I will to introduce you to your daughter. It's a promise.."
Just as she was thinking, her phone rang and her expression changed into a cold one when she saw it was Blade calling.
"Yes.." She said after she answered the call.
"Ma'am, the mayor is awake now. We tried feeding him but as usual he didn't eat. And also the wounds in both his legs are getting more worse. What should we do about that?"
Elle rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"And so, let his wound rot. He joined hands in killing my parents. Why should I keep him?!" She yelled breathing heavily.
She closed her eyes and hung up. Then she started pacing up and down.
Suddenly she remembered Mamita's words during her training.
"Use your head not your hearts. Most times, be practical!"
Tears fell out of her eyes when she recalled the fire incidence again.
"Aaargh!" She yelled and smashed the flower vase near her on the ground. Breathing heavily, she reached out for her phone and then dalied someone's number, the person answered the call almost immediately.
"Ma'am, I've been waiting for your call for likes ages now.."
"Shut up!" Elle said.
"Doctor Dean, I want to treat someone for me. Gunshots wounds on both legs. I'll send the address.
"0f course, Ma'am. It's our duty to help you. Do you want me to send Sabrina and the others, they have been waiting for your commands.."
"Nah! Not now. They should continue to investigate the funds of James and Mayor Langford. I'm sure they will find something.." Elle said and then hung up.

Jason sat in the living room, his eyes glued to the tv. It was obvious he was not watching the tv. He held unto a glass of wine tightly. He was looking so enraged.
"She was fooling me. Using me. And I fell for her trap.." He muttered and then took a sip of his wine.
"I was to quick to develop stupid feelings for her. And now! I will gladly put a stop to those feelings.." He added and took another sip.
"No one will be like Asanel. She's different unlike the others!" He said again and thrn he got his phone.
He looked at his dad's contact for a while before he then dailed it. The phone rang for some seconds before James answered the call.
"Son.." His calm voice call.
"Set up the engagement date. Im ready to get married to Giselle.." He said clenching his fists.
"What?!" His dad's shocked response was heard next.

Wellington International Airport.
Lady red walked out of the airport hand in hand with Kiera who was busy looking around in admiration.
"Mamita, let's call mum.." Kiera smiled happily. She had not stop talking ever since they boarded the plane. It shows how excited she is.
"Okay.." Lady red responded and then called up Elle. Elle answered the call immediately.
"Mamita, I've been waiting for your call. I'm so sorry I missed your call. I was busy. Is Kiera okay?" Elle quickly rushed her questions.
"Hm, Sweetheart.."
"Yes.."
"I'm sorry I kept this from you but.." She paused and sighed.
"What happened?" Elle asked curiously.
"Whatever I did, I did for the sake of Kiera. She wouldn't let me rest.." Lady red said.
Now Elle was beginning to get scared.
"What?!" She asked again, gently.
"Actually we are here in New Zealand.."
"What?!" She yelled immediately.

James walked out of his room to meet the private investigator whom he hired to work on Langford's kidnapping case.
"Good afternoon Governor.." The man greeted politely.
"Yes, so what's the lead about the case.."
"Well, we haven't found much yet. But we definitely have something.." He smiled and thrn gave him a big brown envelope. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"That's a sketch of the feminine assassin. The guards didn't see her face but they described her body figure and then two of them confirmed that she has a mole beneath her right ear.." He said and James smiled.
He opened the broken envelope and brought out the sketch. His eyes widened immediately.
The figure of the last looked strangely familiar.
