REVENGE GIRL

Richmond POV

Standing up from my seat, I picked up my car keys from the desk and exit the office immediately, heading to the parking lot where my car was parked and hopped in, I drove out of the restaurant.

After a few minutes of drive, I finally got to the front of the big iron gate of a magnificent building and the gate rolled open as soon as I got close. Driving into the compound, I parked neatly at the parking lot and alighted from the car before heading to the entrance door where two bouncers were standing with deep frowns on their faces. I guess they must’ve been alerted of my coming because they ushered me in without questioning me.

Stepping into the living room of the building, I met the general of police and two other young men sitting down like they were having a serious discussion before I walked in.

“Good day, Sir,” I saluted him and he just nodded, beckoning me to sit on the couch which I did.

“Mr. Richmond, this is Felix Stevens, your new assistant. I feel you’ll need help in this mission and so, we concluded that we invite Felix to come to render help. Felix is a skilled and talented cop and also an investigator, he’s from America,” He introduced one of the young men to me.

“It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Felix,” I shook hands with him.

“The pleasure is all mine, Richmond. And it’s nice working with you,” He said, and the American accent was clear in his voice.

“So, what have you gathered so far?” The general of police asked me curiously and I sighed. Jay is a tough one, I’ve been trying to find every possible clue to get him, but nothing seems to be working, what do I expect? He’s talented in this and always leaves no trace.

“I’m still working on it, Sir but haven’t gotten a track of him,” I replied and he nodded. He brought out the laptop that have been hiding beside him and dropped it on the center table, switching it on afterward.

“Sergeant Louis Brooks, Rita Osborne, and senator Jackson Turner has been declared missing since yesterday night, and all effort to locate them have proven abortive. According to the CCTV footage gotten from the last place each of them was last seen before they were declared missing, there was no clue in any of them and so, this is difficult to lay hands on. Their mobile phones have been tracked, but none of them showed a signal and so, this is difficult to understand. This is not just a coincidence, I think Jay has something to do with this,” He said and I nodded in agreement. Wait! If these three people have been kidnapped, then the minister or wealth and health are not safe then, we have to do something about this.

“You have a point, Sir. If these three people have been kidnapped, I think we should take the minister of health and wealth to a safer place because if Jay really has something to do with this, I’m sure he won’t spare those two,” I suggested, and they all nodded in agreement.

“What do you suggest we do, Felix?” I turned to the Felix guy and asked.

“This is difficult, since the CCTV footage gave no clue it’s difficult to know where they are. While they’re in his hostage, I think the ministers of health and wealth should be rescued to somewhere safe before we do something about the people that have been caught,” Felix suggested and of course, what he said is helpful. Since we don’t know where Jay is, and where he must’ve kept the people he had kidnapped, it’s better to rescue the ones that are yet to be kidnapped.

By the time we were done with the meeting, it was already getting late, so I called my manager to take care of the shop because I won’t be going back there.

Walking over to the parking lot, I hopped in my car and drove out of the compound. Driving on the roadway, I felt a car following me, and checking through the side mirror I saw a black shiny car driving behind me. Even if the driver wanted to pretend that it wasn’t following me, I was smart enough to know that move.

I stepped on the accelerator and sped through the dark road and after what seemed like forever, I finally took a route that leads to God knows where, just to get the car distracted and as expected, it followed me. I know what I was doing is dangerous, but there’s no way in hell I would let whoever it was, know my house, knowing that my family would be in trouble if do.

Driving down the deserted road with no single vehicles passing by, the car keep following me, and I knew that the person really mean business. I’m not scared nor surprised, I’ve gotten many attacks several times and I always managed to escape them, this won’t be an exception. Turning my car swiftly, I stopped abruptly and his car collided with mine.

Taking a deep breath, I got rid of my seatbelt and hopped out of the car, closing the door afterward. The door of the car opened, and a man dressed in black leather pants and a jacket stepped out with a mask on his face.

“What do you want?” I spoke up first, tucking my hands into my pockets and as expected, whoever it was, said nothing.

I watched as he brought out a pistol from his jacket holster and pointed it at me. I gulped down the lump in my throat as my heart skipped like a million times.

“Who are you?” I asked the dumb question I know he wouldn’t answer and as expected, he remained mute.

“Richmond?” I heard a familiar voice behind me and snapping my head in the direction, I found Cassie, standing while holding her phone to her ear with her mouth dropped open and her gaze staring behind me.

“Cassie?” I called in shock and before I could say another word, she rushed over to me and jumped on my body as a gasp escaped her lips. Raising my gaze to look at her face, I found her eyes widened and looking behind her, I found the man still pointing the gun at me, but this time there was smoke coming out of it, which meant just one thing, he had shot the gun. Realization dawned on me, he shot Cassie!…NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
