Dakota Delaune
I got up pretty late and opened the door to grab a glass of water. I was greeted with a big box in front of my door and my phone right on top.
I grabbed my phone and saw a text message from Angelo saying that he has to go to Athens this morning. He told me that I don't have to go to work today.
I went downstairs and there's already a full set of breakfast waiting for me. I grabbed a glass of water and walked to the dining table. I sat there and started eating breakfast as I went through my phone.
Last night, everything that I told Angelo about leaving him alone really came from the bottom of my heart. I'm tired and I just want to be loved.
I want to be happy and yesterday really made me realize that.. I'm over it.
My phone rang and it's an unknown number. I was pretty hesitate to take the call but my gut was telling me to take the call.
"Hello."
"Hello, Dakota. Do you miss me?" It's Franco.
"What do you want?"
"I'll send you my address and I want you to come here. Don't even bother to tell your little boyfriend about it."
"How did you get out?" I asked completely not scared at all.
"I have my ways and I want you to do something for me."
"Why would I do that?"
"Oh I have a lot of things that you can consider. Get out from his apartment and make a note that you're leaving."
"Okay, just give me the address." I said and ended the call. I quickly grabbed the box and brought it into my room. I took a shower and changed my clothes. I put the box into the cupboard and wrote a message for Angelo.
He won't be surprised with the letter and I have to figure it out on my own for this.
I went out from his apartment and go straight to the address that Franco sent me. When I entered the room, I was surrounded by 30 men in suits. They all have their gun on me but it didn't scare me at all.
If I die today, then let it be. I'm not afraid of it.
"What do you want?" I asked Franco and then turned to Felix. He was sitting on the corner of the room looking blankly on the floor.
"I never thought that.. Angelo is a member of ILLICIT. I was surprised and didn't see it coming." Franco said as he walked towards me.
"He put me in their headquarter's jail and I can say.. I'm impressed. They really rule the whole Europe." Franco put his hand on my neck.
"What do you want?" I asked again.
"I want to be a part of them." What? Is he dreaming or drunk?
"Imagine if you have the opportunity to rule Europe and have.. close relationship with the Europol. That's an amazing feeling.." Franco said as he looked up to the ceiling. He's acting delusional.
"You should have not ruin Silware if you want to be a part of ILLICIT." I said and Franco turned to me. Franco laughed and he pulled me into his arms. He wraped his arms around my waist.
"Angelo's business has nothing to do with being in ILLICIT. It's pretty much a cover up. Do you know what ILLICIT do?" Franco held my hand and led me into a room.
"What is this?" I asked. The room was filled with sketches of rooms and designs. All of them looked like it came from the future. It's so high tech and modern.
"This is the sketch of the ILLICIT Headquarters in Paris." My jaw dropped as I looked at one by one.
"ILLICIT builds weapons, technologies, modern devices, airplanes, jets, and everything that you could think of. Angelo, he's a genius." It's so weird to hear him praising Angelo when all he did was mocking him.
"He was one of them and I think they have 6 more members but I don't know who they are yet. I will find them." Franco proudly said.
"Why do you want be a part of them?"
"Money, power and lastly.. you can get away with anything. I'm pretty sure Angelo, that bastard, had killed a few people here and there."
"Do you think he will accept you? After what you did?" I asked and Franco slapped my face so hard that my ear rang.
"I'm going to kill him and replace him." He laughed and suddenly his phone rang. He picked it up and put it on loud speaker.
"Do you have her?"
"Yeah, I have her. Angelo will easily go crazy since he.. loves her so much." I laughed at his statement. Franco turned to me and I walked towards him.
"He just dumped me last night. If you think having me as his bait will work, trust me.. he won't buy it." I said to Franco.
"I know his friend though." I said and Franco turned to me completely excited.
"I'm pretty sure he's a part of ILLICIT too. They called last night and I did.. hear a couple of things."
"If you lie, I will kill you right away." Franco pointed his gun on my forehead.
"His name is Chase. From his accent, I can tell and he's British." Chance and Chase is pretty simillar but different. Hope he will buy it.
"Chase? British?" Franco looked at me suspiciously.
"I'm pretty sure he's a part of ILLICIT too. They were talking last night about a project and that's why Angelo is not in Italy right now." I said.
"Lock her up and take her phone. Watch her.."
