Dakota Delaune
"Ms. Delaune, Mr. Alessandro said that you can go home this evening." The nurse said.
"Can I talk to him?"
"Uhmm Mr. Alessandro left for London already." She said and I sighed.
"Can I talk to Chance?"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Delaune. You can't talk to Mr. Kyson or Mr. De Luca. Mr. Alessandro told us to assist you back to Mr. De Luca right away." She said and I nodded. She left the room leaving me alone and I got off from my hospital bed walking out from my room.
I walked the long hallway to the big window where I could see them working on planes, jets and cars. It's amazing to see ILLICIT's headquarters.
I thought ILLICIT was just an ordinary company who decided to go dark for some reason. I never thought ILLICIT will be this powerful.
I went down the hallway and looked around completely curious about this place. I want to know more. I want to know more about Angelo.
I saw people wearing lab coats and there's a lot of labs in this area.
"Ms. Delaune, you shouldn't be here." I turned to see the nurse from earlier.
"I was just.."
"You have to go back to your room." She said and she was assisted by two male guards. She walked me back to my room.
"Can I ask you something?" I asked.
"Yes."
"Besides Dean, Chance and Valentino.. can you tell me the other members?" I asked curiously.
"Mr. Alessandro, Mr. Kyson and Mr. De Luca are ILLICIT members. We actually don't know who the members are but there's a rumor going around that the Prince of Denmark might be one." I raised my eyebrows looking at her. Angelo said that he is an ILLICIT member and Dean is the leader.
So this people work with them completely have no idea that they're the real ILLICIT members?
"So if they're not the members, what's their position?"
"Scientist? I think that's the right term. ILLICIT is a big company. We have medical, technologies, cyber security, security and safety in general, weapons, vehicles and we work side by side with Europol too." Shit. I never thought Angelo would go big like this.
"Mr. Alessandro focuses in medical field as well as cyber. Mr. Kyson takes over weapons, vehicle and safety. Mr. De Luca focuses more on vehicle and weapons. Mr. Nielsen was weapons and technologies development. Mr. Sterling used to take weapons, vehicles and security in general." Oh Lord..
"They're just helping the ILLICIT to develop things but I'm pretty sure there's someone bigger." No they aren't someone bigger. They themselves are the ILLICIT.
Why do they have to operate secretly?
"Ms. Taylor." The security guards warned her and she smiled to me.
"They guards will stay here to prevent you from leaving. We don't allow people to go around to other sections, Ms. Delaune." She said as she put my blanket on.
"Thanks." I said.
Angelo Vander
"What are you doing out here? Tthinking about Dakota?" Dean asked as he stood beside me with his cup of hot coffee.
"No." Lies.
"Why did you tell her?" I asked.
"Why wouldn't you? She deserves to know and besides.. until when will you denied that fact? If you think you can hide it forever, you're an idiot." Dean laughed sarcastically.
"Can you just erase this.. stupid rule? Phoenix and Adrian won't leave if you erase it. You know every situation has a way out." I said and turned to him. He shook his head.
"You don't know exactly what I went through. I'm not repeating it.."
"You know ILLICIT will be stronger if those two come back again." I said and Dean shook his head.
"Let me tell you this, Angelo." He sighed.
"One day, ILLICIT will fall. If you leave, Chance will eventually follow you all.. it will fall. All four of you will see it fall and I will go down with it." He looked straight into my eyes.
"You're being selfish."
"I rather be selfish than repeating the past. I've lost a lot of people already and I'm not risking it anymore. Lana, Leah and even Dakota's lives are meaningless. They're not a part of ILLICIT, they didn't contribute anything.. all they do was tearing ILLICIT apart." He scoffed and he took a sip of his coffee.
"Besides if you're saying I'm selfish, you're too. We both are since we're equally trying to protect what we love." Dean said and I could hear the pain in his voice.
"All my life, I only have you four. I don't have anyone else. You know that so well yet they still leave me." Dean laughed sarcastically.
"Dean, we all want an ordinary life. ILLICIT is not easy and you know that."
"Mark my words, Angelo." He said as he put his hand on my shoulder.
"One day, it's only going to be me.. standing here as an ILLICIT member. I'm going to stand on my ground protecting what I've build for years. One day, it will go down and you know my life won't have any worth anymore when it happen."
"You know that we won't let it happen." I said and he shook his head.
"Let Dakota go.. besides.. how can you live with a woman that made you almost.. die?" He smirked.
"She has to pay.. for it. As much as she loves you, how can she live with the guilt of her father and Franco?" He whispered it to my ears and I sighed. Dean left and I looked up the sky.
"He's right. Besides.. there's nothing left between us." I said to myself and my phone rang.
"What is it, John?"
"I'm afraid that Mr. Kyson has his gun on Ms. Delaune's head."
"Shit!" I hissed and I quickly called Chance.
"What is wrong with you?!" I bursted angrily.
"Someone is trying to steal.. you know I have thief right?"
