"IT WAS THE WRONG NUMBER"

23. The escape

TW - VIOLENCE 

MEGHAN'S POV

Standing in front of the gate I looked around for a box or something to help me climb up. Struggling with stone I finally climbed up and jumped on the other side of the door.

Walking through the only narrow lane I reached a turn. Before I could even peek, a person stood in front of me. Looking at his tall figure and black outfit I knew that he isn't from Uncle's group.

"What are you doing here kiddo?" he asked with his rough voice. I guess he smokes a lot.

"Here to meet Mr. Vislov." His eye widened and he took a step towards me.

"You don't want to take the risk. Run away before I kill you." I smiled innocently at him which made choose his second option. I bent down and collected some mud and threw in eyes. As he struggled with that, I kicked him which made him fall.

"You never threaten a policer officer's daughter." I turned and walked inside. According to uncle, I should find a place like a secret basement. The area in front of me was a dead end. There has to be a way.

Walking around the place for at least 3 times I noticed that even due to the wind the 3 leaves on the right corner are not moving. They are placed in a row. Looking at it closing I found there is a handle which is painted same as the colour of the ground.

Found the place! I pulled the door and walked down the stairs.

How is this place so empty. Let's search the locker box.

"Damn it! Where is it!" It's impossible to look at every object and every place and every corner for nothing.

"What are you searching for?" I don't even need to turn around as I exactly know this voice. Behind his sweet words is a cruel bastard. How I wish I could just kill him right now!

"The thing you've been hiding for 5 years." I turned to face him. "Where is the locker box Vislov?" looking at me he stiffened for few seconds before putting on his cruel smirk.

"I expected the brother to take the revenge not some kid." He laughed as he walked towards me.

"When I was informed about a someone entering my place, I thought of someone capable pf fighting me. What's your name kid? Are you here for your friend's revenge?"

He has mistaken me with Eva. " That's where you are wrong. Where are your men?" he looked behind to find William uncle and his men.

"The people you brought are taken care of! Now-" Uncle walked in front of him raising his gun but I interrupted.

"You said I could handle him." My uncle nodded at me. I brought my rod out of my bag and hit his leg.

"That's for hitting my mom." I then aimed at his back. "That's for my dad." throwing the rod away I kicked him in the stomach. "And that's for running away and betraying us."

I pulled him up with his collar, "Now before I kill you. WHERE. IS THE BOX."

He sluttered a 'I don't know'. Uncle pushed him on the ground and aimed his gun at his head. "Tell me where is it before I make your life a living hell."

Uncle can be worst when in his uniform. And considering he lost his elder brother because of this man, I wouldn't even care if he kills him here.

"When I pushed their car, I was given my share of money. The box was taken by Andre Davis. The owner of the place. He wanted the place for himself. He made a deal to give me money and take the place."

With a last slap from myside hew was taken away by our men.

"Meghan you need to return to your class. I will get more information about the Davis." I nodded and returned to my trip.

I'm a little disappointed to not find the locker. Uncle will find it soon.

"Where the hell were you? I was worried I lost my partner. My plans of pushing this project entirely on you were drowning." Keith and Eva walked towards me.

"I knew you had a plan like this. Now I would change the 50-50 partnership. Instead you have 70 while I have 30." I smirked and walked away.

"Okay so now that we will be failing, would you tell me where you were?" I cannot tell you Keith.

"Just exploring the area. I found a few things, there is a secret way behind which leads to the road"

"I have a point to add. The king planned on trapping the queen here and escaping through the secret way." He raised his hands in the air as if showing the invisible quotation mark. We all laughed. I'm definitely failing the assignment.
