Sebastien!

Abigail was sitting on her chair, slowly rolling it in circles. She skimmed the papers Dylan gave to her. Room lights were off, and the only illumination source was light from a projector connected to Blake's laptop.

Chloe and Kimberly were marking places on a map spread on the wood table they were sitting around. Dylan was accumulating information about Martin's family.

"How come you never research your mother's family?" Dylan asked her, eyes fixed on a screen in front of him. Abigail glanced at him and continued reading documents.

"Dad and Mum never mentioned her family. She was 16 when she left her home due to her stepmother's abuse, and my father was from Lyon city. When they met, he was in Paris due to business work, and he helped her by bringing her to Lyon."

They all listened to her carefully; they couldn't find any suspicious info from this.

"Only information I could gather right now is that your mother’s stepmother’s name is Charlotte and she has two sons Nicholas and Marco.” Everyone in the room was listening to him carefully, from today onwards every point was their key point as they don’t know which information will provide them with lead

“Only this?” Kimberly scrunches her nose, Dylan shook his head

“No, not only this. Aunt Adele’s family owns Martin Enterprise which deals in selling and buying properties in France, currently, they are leading in the top five businesses of France.”

“I don’t know, but it feels difficult to digest” Blake commented, his finger under his chin

“Why so?” Kimberly asked

“I never knew my mum belonged to a such rich family” Abigail’s words forced all to turn their faces to her with a shocked expression

“And here I thought you hide it from us intentionally,” Chloe remarked

Abigail ignored their expressions and took the laptop in her hand to read the page from where Dylan had fetched the info

“When you don’t know anything about her family background how did you get to know the suspect belongs from there” Dylan’s detective abilities escalate and raised questions at Abigail while others were looking at her silently waiting for her answer

“A detective from France contacted me and give me all details” Abigail stood from her chair and crossed her arms on her chest

“And you trusted him?”

“Why he will give you details?”

“Isn’t it could be a game of that person?”

Several questions were thrown at her from her group mates and she knew she has to answer after all they had great input in this case and she is standing here firmly is because of her mates’ work

“Sebastien contacted me and said he has some evidence which can help me in this case, he also mentioned he has to work hard in order to get to me because in France it is assumed that we all are dead. Every detail he shared with me is from the dairy of his father in which he writes his task whenever he works on any case”

“Who is his father and what does he has to do with this case?”

“Gabriel, Gabriel is his father who was also murdered while he was working on our case, dad hired him and Arthur from England” Abigail fed further information to his fellows

“So, where is Arthur?” Dylan asked, noting down all points

“After Gabriel was assassinated, he refused to work and after that, we don’t know what happened to him. It was heard he left the country” Abigail leaned against the wall

“A detective was murdered and no one worked to find who was behind it?” Kimberly was sitting on a chair she raised her concern

“Well, what can we say” Abigail shrugged her shoulders

“So, what is next? After we land in France what will we do?” Blake holds his laptop, ready to type their all planning on it, assigned task, and everything so they don’t blunder

“Sebastien will help us in accommodating, we will work as what is our professions. For a few weeks we will make ourselves adjust and make others believe we are just normal people who came for jobs, so if anybody doubts it is removed” they all nodded and Blake starts typing that onto the laptop

“After that, we all will be assigned different tasks and from there, we will continue our mission.”

“Will Sebastien join us?” Chloe asked her she nods

“Yes, the moment we will land in France, he will join us and will be part of our team till the case is resolved”

Sebastien was reading all emails to whom he has sent queries and now, he received their responses. Abigail and her friends were to depart from England airport at 9 am and in France clock had struck half past nine in the morning. The flight will take around 2 hours, in this way he had to make arrangements before 11 am to avoid any mishap.

He already had arranged cars and accommodation for them. The jobs in their respective department, joining documents prints and other material and documentation that her team member has emailed to him all were ready and kept in his car.

“Hey Sebastien, morning man” his colleague John greeted him while offering him coffee

“Thanks, man, much needed” John smiled at him

“What are your plans for today?” John asked after taking a long sip from his coffee

“Not much work for today, I have my mother’s guests getting here, and I have to receive them” Sebastien pulled his chair under the desk and reclined himself on the chair comfortably

“Aha, so today will be your busy day”

“Probably” Sebastian agreed and looked for messages on his phone to check the confirmations, finishing the cup he placed it on the desk beside his laptop and picked up his car keys and wallet to leave his office. He was heading towards the exit door when was stopped by John

“Hey, we have received a call, and they are asking for the information of a girl”

“Why is she missing?” Sebastien took the writing pad from his hand and read the details of the call that were written on it

“No, the picture we received looks like years old and they gave only basic information and want to know the whereabouts of her” Sebastian’s hand stopped he narrowed his eyes

“This name?” he pointed to pad through his finger

“Yeah, that is the name of the girl they want information” Sebastian shut the writing pad and gave it back to John

“Okay today I am busy, tomorrow we shall work on it” He turned to leave

“Sebastian the caller said he wants this matter to be sorted out on an urgent basis” John shouted from behind

“It can wait till tomorrow” Sebastian yelled back at him without turning his back, he unlocked his car and slid into the driver’s seat, he was on his way to the airport.
