The sniper

chapter 9

"Well Jackson I think I should go with you to get the test done." Debbie suggested.

Alright that sounds great. Let's go.

Dubai:
Anthony's apartment.
"Boss I think you should see the news." His bodyguard John suggested.

Why do you say so, you know that I don't watch such.

Boss this time it's a different type of news.

Alright hand me over the iPad.

Anthony couldn't believe what he saw on the headlines..... He just couldn't believe his father Byron kings had been shot dead by an unknown sniper. How did all this happen. Anthony instantly smashed the iPad to the floor.

John bring my phone.

Whom do you want to call? I can make the call for you.

"I said bring me the f**king phone John don't you get it !?."  Anthony yelled.

Alright Boss here is your phone.

Anthony tried calling his brother Aron but the call couldn't get through because his phone was switched off.

Damn it!! his phone is off.... John get the jet ready we leave In 10 minutes

Yes boss.

Chicago:
The hospital:
After an hour Jackson and Debbie came back with the results. "Boss here are the results." Jackson handed over the documents to Caleb.

After what felt like forever, Caleb finally spoke up. Where did she buy her food from.

"Well she always buys her food from Luci's restaurant just a few blocks from the company." Anna informed. Then added, boss that's where we all bought our food from, it's just that Luna's food was brought late because she didn't order on time.

"We really need to sort out this issue today before we start  dealing with the king's family." Caleb emphasized.

Everyone was now quietly thinking of how all this could have happened.

Debbie spoke first, "Luna has no enemies so I can't really think of anyone who would try to hurt her."

It was at this moment that Anna realized something.
Boss I am not trying to accuse Beatrice but she's the one who received the parcel from the delivery guy. When I run into her by your office elevator she gave me the box saying she couldn't take it to Luna because you wanted to see her urgently.

I haven't seen Beatrice in days. Caleb responded. And everyone looked at him surprised.

David  tell  the IT department to check the CCTV footage of the main entrance, the reception and the elevator from 11:20 to 12:30 pm.

"On it boss." David replied.

David took out his phone and called the IT manager. Mean while the doctor returned with some good news.

She's now stable and you can all see her at once but do not stress her.

Alright doc. Anna and Debbie answered in unison.

Aron's mansion:
Aron!.. Aron dear can you come downstairs for a second. His nanny Luisa called out to him.

Nanny what is it? Can't I get some rest in my own house? Aron became frustrated.

There are two police officers looking for you.

Have they stated what they want.? He questioned.

They want to see you.

Oh come on nanny I heard that part already but what is it that they want from me.

Well dear  I really don't know about that.

Alright I will be there in a minute.

Downstairs:
"Good afternoon officers." Aron greeted.

Good afternoon Mr Aron. They replied.

So what can I offer you? Juice, whiskey, some brandy??

"No thanks Mr Aron but we are not taking much of your time really. The first officer said politely.

Then the second officer added, we just came to inform you that your father Byron kings has been shot dead.

Officer this can't be true because I was with him at the office in the morning.

Well he was shot while having lunch with his business partner Mr Dakota.

Well I seriously can't believe a word you are saying unless i with my own eyes.

Alright then you can come with us.

At the hospital
Luna's ward:
"Hey bestie how are you feeling?" Debbie asked, hugging luna tightly like it was her last.

I'm good just having a slight headache but don't worry it will be gone soon. Luna smilingly responded.

"Hey boss I am glad you are okay, you really scared the hell out of me."

Come on Anna don't you know that Luna is a hard nut to crack. Caleb jokingly said.

That is so true boss because if that wasn't the case then I would be in heaven by now.

They all laughed out loud..
In a minute David opened the door and they all looked at him.

"What did you find." Caleb was obviously not patient at all.

Boss have a look at this  footage, it clearly shows Beatrice standing at the main entrance waiting for the delivery guy.
The minute the guy shows up she takes the box from him and the surprising part is she didn't use the main elevator but your personal elevator.

"But why would she use an elevator that goes straight to Mr Hill's office. Besides Mr Hill said  he hasn't seen her in days." This is not making any sense. Debbie sensed something fishy.

"I am sure Beatrice put some drugs in the milkshake. I mean Why would she use an elevator that has no cameras." Jackson finally concluded.

All this while Luna was just quietly listening to their conversation.
You mean I was drugged? She asked seemingly confused.

"Yes the doctor found some ecstasy drugs in your bloodstream." Anna informed her.
