The Snake

Chapter 5

********
"Upstairs, next door I head some noises, go check it out." I say on our way inside the Delcour "and if the people there are suspicious, you know what to do."

He nods "and if not?" He asks in Russian, and I just shrug "kick them out, their not supposed to be there anyways" I responded in English.

We use the stairs to make sure we don't see anything or anyone suspicious. "Have you found anything on the phone yet?" He shakes his and I sigh "no, but perhaps you will, some of the things here I've never seen before, they're...strange."

My head snaps his way to question but before I can I feel a chest hit my left arm, I frown immediately stepping away from whoever I've bumped into and my frown deepens when I see who it is "Micheal?" I say both surprised and confused for a moment.

Vladimir's hand goes behind him to where his gun's at and I raise hand to stop him "it's fine Vlad I know him" Vladimir glares at him.

Next to Micheal is a brunette who I ignore "what are you doing here?" I ask ignoring both of their stares, I've almost forgot that my pajamas were completely soaked and see through, I feel naked.

My pajamas stuck to me like a second thin layer of skin, "I live here" he said firmly. I scoffed, I guess my mom forgot that small detail when she spoke about the Delcour.

"Of course you do" I mumble under my breath, Micheal narrows his eyes before looking from me to Vladimir and then back to me again with clenched jaw.

"Who is this?" Vladimir asked for security details, I looked at him and saw confusion, somehow he could always tell when I don't like someone "work, friend" I say in Russian, he nods saying nothing.

I ignore the surprised glances I receive from Micheal, as far as he knew I didn't speak Russian, but he hadn't seen me in three years, and he has yet to realize I have changed.

I step closer to Vlad and start whispering in Russian "go do that thing I asked for than wait for me upstairs" he hesitates not wanting to leave me alone with Micheal and his girlfriend.

Before he leaves I take a step back but still very close to him, so close that our lips almost touched, I put my hand in his back pocket taking the phone from my now dead attacker and then take a step back watching him leave.

Whatever it was that Vladimir saw I need to see for myself, not only did that guy that attacked me look familiar but there are lots of things that could be in the phone, stuff about The Order for example or maybe even about Dianna.

"Why are you wet?" Micheal asks taking me out of my thoughts, shit.

I shrug "long story, don't worry about it" he frowns, I turn around about to head to the front desk, maybe my attacker wasn't alone or maybe who ever works here saw him come in and then left. 

"Where are you going?" Micheal's voice stops me, I turn around to face him again, this time annoyed. "I heard some noises next door but I was told that, the penthouse next to me isn't occupied so I'm going to ask the office about it."

Micheal tenses and I frown immediately noticing it, he knew something and then it hit me. It wasn't kids that broke in, it was them, the masked men, the four horsemen, him.

"What noises?" I ignore him looking down at my chest when I caught him looking, Perhaps I should change first. I looked like I was wearing nothing, I walk past him going to the elevator but I'm stopped again by Micheal.

"What noises Victoria?" he presses demanding an answer, I groan frustrated "nothing don't worry about it, it's none of your god damn business" I say my voice harsher then needed.
