RIPPERS

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Jessica was starting to get pissed off. She had felt all kinds of scumbags walk through the door, and could smell all kinds of crimes attached to their skins.

There was no erasing the scent of death at this level. It was like even though they bathed, the scent of blood would never disappear. Jessica would know.

It was the same for rippers. The scent of blood was practically written into their essence, it made up part of who they were. But it was a natural occurrence.

What Jessica could smell here was just wrong.

A shiver of disgust went down her spine as a man walked past her while she distributed glasses of wine to two ladies. She could practically feel his eyes linger on their bodies, feeling his disgusting intent.

The want to gouge out his eyes and break his limbs was overwhelming and Jessica grit her teeth.

Disgusting, foul humans.

Jessica closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was surrounded by murderers and psychopaths. It was nothing new.

But what unnerved her was the aura the man standing in the corner of the room by a door welcoming specific guests was throwing her off. From his scent, she concluded he was Zoya's father which meant that he was the Head Doctor here and the owner of this hotel and agency.

Dr. Theostine

The door behind him was probably where the meeting between all the doctors would take place while the auction happened. Everything was always so layered.

A door behind a door, behind a bigger door.

This man clearly liked to make sure he had his businesses in order and was careful.

"We're in" Jessica heard Jed's voice in her earpiece.

Jessica nodded absentmindedly as she kept her eyes observing her surroundings. However, her thoughts kept going back to what she needed the most.

The remote.

She needed to get the remote.

But she needed a distraction. Jessica noticed Zoya walking towards her direction and with some funny twist, another brunette who was in Jessica's vicinity stumbled.

Jessica noticed it was Anna. She had memorized and observed the other hired help. Anna was a clumsy but kind girl.

She watched as Anna tripped and crashed into Zoya, the two ladies falling to the floor. Jessica's eyes widened.

The whole room stopped and looked at the sound of the crash and the way the brunette immediately started whimpering and apologizing.

Zoya was about to tear into the girl, her face turning red with rage. Jessica winced.

But she needed to do what she had to, and if she could take this opportunity, she would. Taking a deep breath, she put on her facade and rushed towards the two ladies.

"Oh my goodness, Zoya, Anna, are you two okay?!" She whispered as she helped up Zoya while looking at Anna.

Zoya glared at Anna and Jessica watched her carefully. Both ladies' uniforms and hair were all ruined.

Zoya then turned to the other women who were helping. "Clean this up now!" She demanded before gesturing to the shaking girl. "And get her out of here"

Zoya then whirled towards Jessica. "And Gina, you come with me!"

Zoya then stomped away without waiting. The persons in the room all started to whisper and snicker. Jessica could see Zoya turn red from embarrassment and anger.
