We walk into a spare office in the house to have our talk, Jackson told me the living room would be more comfortable to have the talk, but I wasn't born yesterday. As I said before there was only one door leading to the kitchen and living room, if I open the door to get to the living room that would also lead to the kitchen. He's going to have to do better than that to fool me.
"Look at the weather today, that's England for you right?" He asks taking a seat at the desk, but once again I knew what he was trying to do."Enough with the distractions, the sooner we have this talk the sooner you get to gain access to the kitchen." I say sitting the opposite side of the desk, he sighs knowing he wasn't gonna pull the wool over my eyes. "I need to know everything you know about Mario and my dad." I tell him on the edge of the seat, he looks at me confused and a little shocked."How do you know his name?" He asks looking at me with a raised eyebrow, has he really forgotten that he said his name back on the walk?"You told me his name on the walk, after we met that little woman, you accused of working for him." I say which sends him deep in thought but soon nods, how else does he think I know the dudes name?"Where can I start with that man? Let's just say I have helped catch a lot of bad people in the two years I've worked this job, none of them even come close to being as bad as Mario." He starts to explain shaking his head, this doesn't make me feel better knowing my dad is with him. "There's some parts of Mario's story that we just don't know, as he's so powerful he can hire some of the most trained people in the field, which has enabled him to hide any record of his." He explains sitting back in his chair, while I was the opposite and was on the edge of my chair."So, what kind of stuff does Mario actually do?" I ask just wanting to get all the facts, if he's on the raider of whatever organisation my mum works for, he must do and have done some terrible things."Well, he started off just like any other lost kid, he would rob corner shops, break in people's houses and just commit little crimes." He starts to explain, I mean breaking into people's houses doesn't seem like little crimes to me! "Then he started to get bigger and bigger, he went from that to robbing cars, then went from that to making fake money and disrupting it out, then he would lend money and kill people that didn't pay him back, then kill people who wrong him, his family and friends." He says as though it was nothing, that was a heck of a big jump from breaking into houses to killing people!"He came up on our raider maybe a year and a half ago, he managed to kidnap this higher up man's daughter, thankfully, she was brought home safe, but this led us to look into him more and learn of the horrifying crimes he has committed." He says which I was shocked he was able to fly under their raider years before, it sounds like he was doing some pretty horrible things."My mum said you were so close to busting him, but he found out, so before you managed to get him, she got my call about my dad." I say knowing he probably already knew that my mum would have had to debrief my babysitter."That's right, after a year of working non-stop we found him, we were suiting up to bust him when your mums phone rang, she looked annoyed until she saw the name and without hesitation, she answered." He explains which nearly makes me smile, it's becoming clearer that my mum actually cares which is shocking. "The room was silent as she shouted your name down the phone, in seconds she was out the door and headed to the car." He explains which does make me have a mini flashback.I was talking on the phone when the headlights blind me for a second, but now I wasn't in the moment I managed to look through the lights at the people. Two men sat in the front seat while others sat in the back, as I look closer, I notice my dad with duct tape around his mouth, the two men in the back were holding him back. Once I land on the grass I take a look back at the car, it was white with the license plate ending PLD.I soon snap back out of the flashback, at the time I couldn't remember any of that but now, all the little details were much clearer. Jackson sends me a look clocking my face, I guess I did just blank out for a second."The car was white with a number plate ending in PLD." I tell him not really thinking much about it, his eyes go wide where he scrambles to for his phone. "What's going on?" I ask looking at him worriedly, he doesn't answer me but holds the phone to his ear."Ally's fine but she just remembered something, the car was white with the end letters of the number plate PLD." He says down the phone while I just sat there confused, why is that little information so important? "Yeah okay, we'll be there soon." He says before hanging up, he wastes no time getting out his chair taking my hand in his."What's going on, where are you going?" I ask as he pulls me into the hall and towards the door, he checks my eyes to see if my contacts are in before opening the front door."We're going to see your mum." Is all he says as I'm led over to his car, I was still insanely confused on what the heck was going on but get in the car anyway.In seconds he's reversed out the driveway and sends the car speeding down the road, I hold onto the seatbelt as he makes the car swerve passed all the other cars. I've never been driven like this, and I don't think I like it, his face just held what looked like determination as we race at what I'm guessing is over 100mph down the motorway."What is happening and how are you able to drive like this without getting stopped?" I ask as we literally race passed a police car, which doesn't attempt to stop what's happening."The police know what cars we drive so they don't stop us, and your mum will explain everything to you when we get there." He tells me the tyres screech as we go around the bend, a scream nearly escapes my lips as we do so."You're keeping me in the dark again, what's with you people and doing that?" I say looking out the window as we speed past, everything was just a blur to the speed."Somethings you can't always know about Ally!" He basically yells at me; I jump a little looking over at him. "I'm sorry, if what you’re remember is correct well.... we can just wait until you see your mum to explain." He sighs looking quite sad, well that was a huge change in emotion!I wanted to question him more, but I could tell he probably wouldn't tell me anything, I didn't know how me remembering the colour of a car and the ending of a license plate number, would send everyone in such a frenzy!I was about to learn the harsh truth of the frenzy.In no time we arrive at my mum's work, I'm still unsure what this place is even called so we'll just go with mum's work. The door to the underground garage was already open, we must have raced in at about 100mph, honestly, I don't know what the big rush was for. Once inside he slams on the breaks, the loud screeching sound of the cars tyres echos through the garage, lucky I was wearing a seatbelt! Jackson wastes no time getting out the car dragging me with him, I turn back to the car which was literally in the middle of the parking garage, that can't be legal! Last time, we went through the door, which was closest to the garage but this time, he pulls me around a corner and up a flight of stairs. "Jackson, what the heck is going on?" I ask as we reach the very top, I was nearly out of breath from running up the stairs that quickly, I don't do sports! "Your mother will explain everything to you." He tells me as we reach a door, he swipes a card from out of his pocket causing the doo
Well as you're aware, our organisation deals with some pretty bad people." Reece starts to explain while still leaning on the filing cabinet, isn't he afraid that he's going to break that or something? "Mario definitely fits that category." He says shaking his head looking down at the ground, that’s all anyone ever says when they talk about this Mario dude. “And you guys are sure that this Mario man, is the one that has my dad?” I ask looking at each of them, I didn’t want to undermine them, but they have to be sure they’re not barking up the wrong tree. “We are certain it’s Mario that has your dad, not only did he ring me right after your dad was kidnapped but…. he had a photo of your dad sent over as proof.” My mum said which makes my heart sink, I knew this wasn’t a cute artsy photo of my dad sitting on a tree branch hitting the peace sign, but something bad. “I know this is a stupid question, was dad, okay?” I ask looking up at her as I asked, this causes her to sigh taking a s
Jackson and I soon arrive back at my mother's house, we didn’t really talk much after I said I never do what I’m told. I could just see he wanted to ask me what I meant, but he also didn’t want to hear the answer at the same time. Jackson was the first one to walk in the house but has to stop and look at me with a smile once he reaches the entrance to the kitchen and living room. At first, I was a little confused, but I soon remember that I had locked the door just before we left. I walk over and easily unlock the door, while he just looks at me dumbfound. “One of my many hidden talents.” I smile opening up the door, he shakes his head walking into the kitchen probably to get food. “I do have many talents which aren’t being put to use just sitting around.” I say taking a seat at the kitchen counter, this does cause him to freeze whilst looking in the fridge. “Your mum was serious Ally; she doesn’t want you involving yourself in this case.” He sighs taking out some yogurt, I haven’t
Jackson and I talk for hours going over my plan, the first thing we needed to get hold of was all the files that my mum and her team have on this Mario dude. Then we’ll be able to have the same information that they have, which will make it a level playing field. I told him my plan which at first, he didn’t like and said there were far too many things that could go wrong. So, I asked him, what his alternative idea was but he didn’t have one, so in the end we went with my plan. I can just hear all of you asking me, what the heck is this plan?! Well, every morning, Jackson has to go into the office to sign things to say he will be with me all day. I have no idea why that’s a thing, apparently, he has no idea either! But anyway, while he’s in there he’s going to talk his way into the building more and head to the filing cabinet that Reece kept leaning against. Now I’m thinking about it, could that be why he was so insistent on standing right up against it? Jackson will take a photo of
After we both were finished breakfast, Jackson managing to fit three portions while I was still eating my own. We were soon both sat in my mother's office, which he made sure was locked just in case someone tries to enter the house when his guard was down. “So how did you manage to get all of these files, you said it would be hard?” I ask as he locks the office door behind us, in an event of a fire that wouldn’t be very safe! “It went easier than I first expected, all of the systems are down at the office as maintenance are updating them. That gave me the opportunity to go into the building so I could sign in on paper, I acted as though I was looking for the toilet when really, I went into your mother's office and took a picture of every document on Mario that I could find.” He explains whilst pulling his phone out and handing it over to me, I begin to scroll through all of his many photos of documents. “You guys have all this information on this dude and you’re still not closer to
It was later that night; I was sat on my bed with everything that Jackson and I had printed off earlier. It took much longer than expected, we had to make two copies of everything because Jackson wanted to take one home so he could have a look in his spare time. Thankfully, we had finished and packed everything away before my mother got home. When she got in the door, something was different. Not looks wise but the way in which she was acting, I don’t see my mother much so I can’t really tell the signs. But when I looked over at Jackson, he was giving her the same look as I was. Once he left, I was going to ask her, but she went straight to her room, and I haven’t saw her since. This did worry me that something bad could have happened to my dad, but I knew she isn’t that self-absorbed to keep that sort of information from me. I was just looking over the file that contained information about Mario’s past, I knew bits and pieces anyway because Jackson gave me a little rundown when I l
When I woke up the next morning, it was different to the ones I have become accustomed to living in my new normal. When I went down to the kitchen in the morning, I was surprised to see Jackson standing there smiling at me with food and not my mother. “Your mum had to go in extra early today, she told me to tell you good morning and hopefully she’ll see you later tonight.” He smiles sliding me over a plate of food, I was a little taken back at first trying to absorb all the information that he just told me. “That has to do with the something bad that knocked my mum back she kind of told me about, no idea how she told me about it without actually telling me.” I say picking up the spoon, but I didn’t place in the food as I was too deep in thought. “Have you got any idea what happened at that base place yesterday, I know you saw the way my mother was acting when she got home?” I ask finally taking a bite out of my yogurt, Jackson smiles taking a seat on the counter. “We’ve been over t
We were soon in the car driving to Mario’s mothers house, the car ride was silent as we were both mentally getting ready for what may lay ahead. I had a wave of emotions running through me, mostly fear in case something doesn’t go to plan and Mario finds us there. But I also, was happy that I’m finally feeling like I’m actually doing something. Since my father went missing, I feel like I’ve been sitting around while other people are looking for him. But now thanks to Jackson agreeing to help me, I can finally get my hands dirty! We soon turn off of the main road and onto a street, it was a normal looking place. Kids were running around playing with each other, while a few adults would look over to see what they were doing from time to time. In no time at all, Jackson pulls the car over right outside of an abandoned looking type of house. The grass outside of the house was badly overgrown, no one has attempted to cut that in what looks like years. The outside of the building itself wa
