As Jack has had in mind, he called the mercenaries' team leader, Blake Gordon."Blake, it's me, Jack.""Hey, did you know what happened?" Blake asked. No one other than Charles and Jack knew about their blood relations, so other thought Jack was only one of them, but he is in the IT area. "Can I have a word with you, alone?" Jack asked with a firm tone. Blake would understand his message Jack was pretty sure of it."I have been thinking about doing the same thing," Blake replied.Blake wanted to ask Jack to help locate their families being held by Charles as his threat for his team to execute this last mission. But He could not make a decent move with Charles keenly watching them. Jack is the closest to Boss B, and with how things have turned, Blake feels like Jack is with Boss B in all these. "Where would you like to meet?" Blake eagerly asked. Having Jack and Boss B on their side, even if it is against Charles, shut or not, they have the best chance
Brianna arrived at Leandro Michaelson's mansion with Lucien already waiting for her by the door. She gathered they must have known her arrival ever since she reached the gates. Tatum Elliot arrived only a few minutes after Brianna, and he quickly moved out from his ride and sat on the driver seat of the car Brianna just emptied as she got off to meet Lucien by the door."Let's go home," Lucien greeted Anna this way as soon as he got close enough to talk to her. "You must be hungry. Let me take you to dinner. What would you like to have?"Lucien walked towards the vehicle where Tatum was already waiting by the driver's seat, still in his mission gear, waiting for Anna and his boss to get in and leave the mansion."Anything would do, sir," Brianna answered casually. "But I do need to buy things and comfortable clothes." She was wearing the hooded shirt she grabbed with only the bodysuit beneath it."Let's eat first, then we'll
Before the old Michaelson could even calm down from his engulfing anger towards his stubborn assistant, Enzo, the youngest IT in the team, called for their attention. "I got her file. Not much, but I got what there is to find," the guy with Anthony on his ID sheepishly stated. "Show me," Leandro Michaelson answered instantly. He did not mind what the guy just said about not having much. He was too eager to care and too keen to know anything there is about this impressive girl. An A4 file with details filled the widescreen right in front of Leandro, and he meticulously checked almost every letter on every word written on the file. But to his great disappointment, the file only has her name, age, academic records, phone number, and home address. But as the written name was Brianna Peters, Leandro did not realize that Anna was Brianna. The person with the name Brianna Peters which Charles Anderson had blurted out when Anna appeare
Leandro could not describe what he was feeling right at the moment."Enzo, I need to know everything there is to find," Leandro uttered with a fierce tone."Yes, Master," Enzo replied mannerly.The assistant was fully aware that his Master does not like betrayals of any kind. What appeared with Anna and that man, Charles Anderson, somehow showed a faint shadow of the girl turning against her boss. Had it been somebody else involved, Leandro would never hesitate to label Brianna Peters as a traitor and cannot be trusted with his grandson's life. In fear that she will do the same thing she did to her previous Master or employer, one day."I want to know what made her turn against her superior or comrades. From what I see in her, she has more than words to justify her actions," Leandro was not sure if he was trying to convince anyone else than himself with what he said.But Enzo actually has the same thoughts. I
"Tatum, can you turn right on the next corner from here?" Brianna asked.She had been observing the road they were taking as Tatum drove them to where Lucien had ordered. The attentive driver was not expecting Anna's request, so he looked at his boss through the rearview mirror to ask for his consent or whatever his reaction may be.Lucien was feeling the same shock as with Tatum Elliot."Pull over on the side," Lucien ordered to the driver. Who quickly complied, no questions asked.Lucien turned to look at Anna with perplexed mien."What is it, Anna? Tell me," Lucien eagerly asked, yet with a gentle and worried voice.Brianna felt weird about why her boss would act this way. She scratched her nape and stared at Lucien with an unreadable look on her face.Brianna was not sure if she liked the strange feeling she was having right now. She is not used to being asked about her actions. Her
Lucien hurriedly stepped out of the car and with his eyes fixed on Anna, who was waving her hand inviting them to come in, he did not even care if a car he wasn't watching his steps.Tatum, on the other hand, could not decide if he should stay by the gates as a lookout or follow his boss inside to make sure of his safety. But thinking Anna was there, he was also half confident the young Michaelson would be safe. Tatum kept checking for any possibility of having anyone jump out of nowhere to attack them. However, as the area was in the middle of an open field, with the fence that could still see through and through the sides, in and out the yard, he was convinced there was no one else aside from the three of them.The driver bodyguard decided to follow the two inside but not before making a rough check of their surrounding. When he felt satisfied, he followed Lucien through a wicket door on the gate. The pillars on the gates were big enough to store thin
"I think, since this is my home, how about I check the kitchen for anything we can eat before going back to your place?" Brianna asked.She will still have to go with Lucien as his personal bodyguard to protect him for twenty-four hours until she is sure no one is after him anymore. She knew she shot that mercenary leader only an inch to his heart, but since he had minions around him, the possibility of attempts to attack her client was still on the table."Well, I won't say no to that," Lucien readily agreed. "I can head out to the kitchen and see what we can have for dinner while you get whatever you need.""Okay, then. I will be out there with you as soon as I find them. Just don't put my house on fire, okay?" Brianna replied while looking around the collection room, then headed out to what she supposed as her bedroom- the last one they haven't checked by the end of the hall on the second floor.Lucien did not stay in the room e
"How is dinner going?" Brianna asked as soon as she saw his back from the distance as she headed towards the kitchen."I'm still looking for everything," Lucien replied with a distressed voice. He was not familiar with the whole area, so he did not know where to find things he needed.Brianna held his hand and led him to a stool by the kitchen island."Will you please sit here and wait?" she commented, patronizing the young Michaelson. "I am confident I can do the task more efficiently." She felt confident that though her brain could not process the task to remember things, her body seemed to be working according to whatever she needed to do.Lucien had no choice but follow. He sat there with his hands cupping his jaw, elbows on top of the marble island, pouting in grievances. Tatum walked around the widows, checking for possible situations outside. He was being alert for whatever may happen. A group of mercenaries was after them.
