Marcus's Pov
After returning from the restaurant, everyone went upstairs to their rooms to prepare for bed.
"Marcus, are you coming to bed?" Pandora asked
"Go ahead and go to bed. I'll be there after I finish some paperwork." I said
"Is it about the mafia ball that's coming up soon?" Pandora asked
I nodded
After seeing that, Pandora said goodnight and went upstairs to our room.
Heading to the office, I took out my phone and made a quick call.
"Get me everything about what happened 14 years ago on the night that the unborn princess was killed. After doing that, report straight to my office in the family house. You have one hour." I said seriously
"Yes sir"
Stopping in front of the office door, I hung up and went inside.
Closing the door behind, I walked over to the bookshelf and pushed two books that were red and black forward at the same time.
The bookshelf then moved to the right revealing a case of stairs.
Walking down the staircase for about three minutes, I reached the bottom step and my personal gym/gun range then came into view.
"Might as well release a little stress." I mumbled
Taking off my coat and rolling up my sleeves, I stood in front of one of the punching bags.
Getting into position, I started punching the bag.
*1 hour later*
Landing the last punch, the punching bag then torn open.
This was the third punching bag that was torn.
Oh well
Sighing, I walked over to the little mini bar that was on the far right of the room.
Opening the mini fridge, I grabbed a bottle of water and gulped it down.
Feeling my phone vibrating in my back pocket, I grabbed it and turned it on to see a message pop up.
Unlocking the phone and going to the message app, I opened the message that was my second in command who was retired like me, telling me that he was here.
Throwing the empty bottle in the trashcan, I grabbed my coat and went upstairs.
Reaching the top steps, I pressed a hidden button on the stone wall.
The stone wall the moved to the left. Fully opening, standing in my office was my former second in command and his son who is Lorenzo's former second in command.
"Did you get the information that I asked for, Jason,Mason?" I asked
Walking over to my desk and throwing my coat over the chair,I sat down and looked directly at them.
"Sir, there is a problem." Jason said
"What's the problem?" I asked, opening the envelope with the mafia ball invitation.
"Sir, the footage from 14 years ago on that night was erased." Mason said
My eyes widen a little from what I heard.
Placing the envelope down on the desk, I crossed my arms and lean back in my chair.
"What do you mean that the footage was erased?" I asked seriously
The atmosphere grew tense. Both Jason and Mason shivered and gulped.
"When we went to the security room to look for the footage from that night, it only shown the scene after Ms.Humming was pushed down the stairs." Mason said
Closing my eyes and pinching my nose bridge, I looked back at the father-son duo.
"What about the backup?" I asked
"We couldn't make much out of it. It was partially destroyed and it only shows that one of Lorenzo's daughters pushing Ms.Humming down the stairs, but couldn't make the face out clearly." Jason said
"Is there a way to restore either one of them?" I asked
"They were destroyed by the number one top-tier hacker." Mason said
"Is there anyone who can surpass them and restore the video fully?" I asked
"There are two hackers known to being gods in the hacker world." Mason said
"Who are they?" I asked
"They are known as Storm and River." Jason said
"How are they well-known and how can we trust them?" I asked
"Storm lives up to their name. They cause mayhem to governments and mafias who provoke them. They just need to press one key on their keyboard and it's the end of those person's life." Mason said
"What about river?"
"They are know for being calm and very ruthless to those who tries to find theirs and Storm's location." Jason said
"So, they're partners?" I asked
Mason nodded
"But sir, they are almost impossible to contact." Mason said
"Then, find a way to contact them at all cost and pay whatever amount they want." I said
"What if they asked for more than a billion dollars? They are known for asking for very high prices, but provides great information the clients ask for." Jason said
"Like I said earlier, pay them whatever amount they want." I said
"Yes sir" Jason said
"Keep me informed of everything that involves those two hackers and their answers about the request." I said
"Yes sir. We'll try and see if we can collect more information in the videos." Jason said
"Very well, you may leave now." I said
Hearing that, they nodded and walked out of my office.
This is getting more and more irritating.
Who wants to cover up that night 14 years ago and why?
