C31: The Devil's At Work.

TREY

I've been trying to get hold of Chris all night and he's just being stupid. I went by Isabelle's house and the gate was locked up like shit. I wasn't even gonna try and hop over because there was no lights on in the house. He's not going to just hide her like this. We have shit to handle with her Dad and he's making it worse if we don't find out where she is.

I get a call and the contact name says Rayne.

"Hello?" I answer

"Trey, have you heard from Chris? We're supposed to be leaving in a couple hours. And I want to make sure he isn't late." She says

"I haven't. I've been trying to get a hold of him too actually. But he's not answering and he has Isabelle." I tell her

"God what is with him and that girl? She's not good for him." She says

"Whoa, you don't even know her. And I know you were bitch to her when y'all first met." I say

"Not surprised that you're defending her. Is that why you and Chris are beefing right now?" She asks

"We ain't beefing we just have an misunderstanding." I tell her

"Yeah okay, sure. But we're gonna have to find them both. Chris has to be back tomorrow." She says annoyed

"Well you try and text him. Tell him it's work related and I bet he'll call you." I respond

"You're right. I'll let you know what he's up to so you can get your precious Isabelle back." She says and hangs up.

I decide to just head back to the hotel and wait. I haven't been in my place ever since Chris left really. When I get there it's busy as it should be. We've been slacking on our auctions and I got to hold one in the next few days. I hope it goes well, some people have been questioning Chris and his character lately.

I head up to my suite and it's clean, and I got a shit load of mail. The one on the top is in Chris' own handwriting so I open it up.

Trey,
It seems like I can't trust you anymore. Even though I thought we were a team, you've showed that you're not focused on being my partner in this business. Isabelle is coming back with me. I'm going to take care of her. I'd appreciate it if you shared all the stuff with her Dad with me so I know what to expect when we return.

-Chris

The fuck? He just decides that he's going to leave with her? This ain't even cool. I know he's a jealous type but I've been said there's nothing for him to be jealous of! I'm just trying to look out for someone I care about. I call Rayne and she picks up real quick.

"He's trying to bring that hoe back with him to Japan." She says

"I know, I can't let him do that." I tell her

"Good, cause I'll throw her off that jet if I have too. She'll be too much of a distraction for him, and he has shit to do." She replies

"Are you guys leaving soon? I want to try and convince him not to take her. But I don't want him to know I'm coming."

"He's already there with her, he's just waiting for me. Hurry there, because I'm already on my way over." She says

"See you in a bit then." I say and hang up

I run down back to my car and drive to the airport. I don't know why Chris would think that's even slightly a good idea. He won't be able to take care of her if he couldn't even return his Mom's calls for two weeks.

I get there and park in the distance. Chris is by his car smoking a cigarette.

"Trey!" I hear
