Giustizia

Chapter 7

     Back at headquarters, the agents were watching from a two-way mirror as two SWAT officers interrogated Jasper Evans.

     "Let me guess. That two faced bitch Ariana sold me out." Jasper rolled his eyes.

     "Actually, no. We figured out her alias 'Franie A. Falahey' and located her address with her real name. Wasn't that hard. I'm surprised you didn't do better with that one." the first officer stated.

     "She was a liability anyways. She knew too much from her sister." Jasper said, as if annoyed.

     "So tell me, Evans. Why make it so easy to catch you? Tired of living on the run?"

     "I can live on the run for decades if I want to. Maybe I let you catch me." Jasper taunted.

     "And why would you do that?" the second officer questioned.

     "You really think too little of me. Like I don't have a backup plan." Jasper smiled a devilish grin.

     The officers exchanged glances.

     Paul was standing with the agents, arms crossed as he looked at Jasper.

     "This son of a bitch is getting on my nerves. What more could he have planned?" Paul complaied.

     "Whatever it is, we need to figure it out-fast." Alaina said.

     "Okay, um.... we should question Ariana and see if she knows anything." Paul said.

     "You're sure she can be trusted? What if this is part of their plan?" Alaina questioned.

     "Right now we don't have any other options. Go."

     "On it." Alaina and Irelin left the room and headed to the left. They went back to the conference room to talk with Ariana.

     "Matt. Look into her purchase history. See if anything suspicious comes up."

     "You got it, boss." Matt said, heading right out of the room and down the hall.

     He came to a computer room and asked the tech analyst in the room about her history. Matt gathered as much information as he could on Ariana for the past five years.

     Back in the conference room, Ariana was sitting in a chair, twiddling her fingers. Alaina and Irelin walked in.

     "We need to know if Jasper has anything planned." Alaina stated.

     "Did you catch him?" Ariana asked, standing up from the chair.

     "Yes."

     Ariana looked up to the sky to thank the heavens.

     "Does he have any plan he told you about?" Irelin asked.

     "Um..OH. Oh no. He said he had a plan to blow up your headquarters." Ariana spoke with wide eyes.

     "That's this location." Irelin said, looking at Alaina.

     Irelin ran to the door where a guard was posted.

     "Get her out of here and don't let her out of your sight."

     The guard took her from the room and down the hall towards the elevators.

     Then the girls ran back to Paul and bursted through the door.

      "Find something already?"

     Before Alaina could speak, there was a loud boom and the building shook. They all lost their balance and fell to the ground. The lights flickered and electrical components glitched. The fire alarm was sounding and the sprinklers were on.
