“It's not switched on.”

Chase looked back at Steve with a dumbfounded look, “what?”

Steve hissed with annoyance, “you put a f**king tracker and didn’t switch it on, Chase!”

Chase shook his head in denial and turned to Alarick who was standing behind them with Emilio and Vons, “I swear I put it on him and I'm sure, I switched it on,” Chase replied.

“He said you didn’t turn it on,” Emilio shook his head with disappointment.

Alarick folded his arms and huffed, ‘what was I expecting?’ He let out a huff and walked away.

“No, I swear I put it on him,” Chase turned to Vons who had the same look on his face as Steve.

Vons shook his head at Chase and looked away from him to his comrade standing at the end of the room, “Comrade, send him back.”

“Yes, Sir.”

The comrade walked to Chase, held his arm and pulled him away.

“I FREAKING PUT THE TRACKER!”

Steve hissed with anger and jumped up on his feet, he looked at Chase, “shut the f**k up and get out. You dump-sh!t.”

Vons shook his head with amusement in his eyes, he looked away from them and to Alarick who was sitting down and looking at CCTV scenes. Vons let out a huff and pressed his lips into a thin line.

Ella fluttered her lashes and blinked her eyes, her eyes opened to reveal her brown eyes, she pressed her hand on her head immediately as she felt a sharp pain in her head. It was wobbling.

‘Right, I was deceived by that security man.’

She recalled what happened and pulled herself up to sit down. She frowned when she didn’t see Isla or Gab, she spun around to look for a door but flinched back in fear when she saw Austin sitting on a stool in front of the door. Ella crawled away from him and moved backward so that her back was on the wall, she glared at him with fear and a mix of anger.

Austin chuckled as he saw her face, he could sense the fear in her body.

“Why are you doing this? We don’t even know each other; I've only met you once,” Ella whined with tears stained on her cheeks.

Austin laughed this time, he let out a mocking laugh. He looked at her face and smirked, “so? Do I have to meet you more than once to do anything with you?”

Anger swelled up in her and she couldn’t help but yell at him, “what the hell is wrong with you?! You jerk!”

Austin let out a dry laugh again and he leaned on the door, “it doesn’t matter if it was someone else, I would take that person because you're connected to the soft-hearted Alarick.”

She hissed with annoyance, “can’t you hear me? I said Alarick and I don’t have anything going on! He hates me!”

“That’s what he made you think. It's different than that,” Austin folded his arms with a smirk on his face, “let’s not talk about your love life. Let’s talk about what you asked me. Why am I doing this?”

Ella kept quiet yet she was angry.

Austin sat up and let out a huff, “it's simple,” he smiled, “I wanted more than just a bodyguard for Alarick.”

“Huh?” Ella furrowed her brows at his words with confusion written over her face, “I thought you were Alarick’s right-hand man?” She questioned.

The facial expression on Austin’s face slacked off as he was stunned at her question; He shook his head at her, “I was neither of those!” He suddenly became angry making her to flinch away. And he continued, “I don’t want any of those. I want to be the leader. Because Alarick always f**king treat me like sh!t,” he laughed dryly, “but here, I am the leader.” And he started laughing.

“I don’t think you are,” Ella mumbled silently.

The blonde-headed woman looked down at the girls sleeping on the bed, she scanned her eyes on them and then she nodded. She strode towards the door and opened it and then, she stepped out. Her eyes scanned the hallway and then, she started walking away but halted as she heard a voice.

“Where are you going?”

The blonde-headed woman turned back at the man and she gave a smile, “I need to use the bathroom.”

The man pushed his rifle behind himself and walked towards her, “our boss said that no one should leave the room till morning. Didn’t you hear it?”

She pushed her hair behind her ears and smiled shyly, “I was so pressed. Please, I want to use it really quick.”

The man paused at her, he sized her from her feet to her head and suddenly, he placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled, “be fast. I’ll wait for you.”

The blonde-headed woman smiled at him and walked away. Her eyes caught the bathroom door and she walked towards it, “motherf*cker,” she cursed under her breath and walked into the room. She strode to the sink and turned on the tab, and then she started washing her hands. From her side eyes, she looked around the room in search for a camera and there was. She chuckled dryly and muttered, “crazy bastard.”

The woman turned off the tap and walked away from it, she entered the bathroom and closed the door. She picked up a tissue and stuffed it into the flusher. She chuckled in satisfaction as it covered the spy camera. Her eyes scanned around again and when she was satisfied, she pulled her dress up and a burner phone was stripped to her lap. She took out the burner phone and her lips lifted up. She dialed a number and pressed it to her ear.
