Veiled Vendetta

TWENTY FIVE

After the altercation ended, Izzy addressed everyone, "Get your injuries treated at W City's hospital. I've already alerted them about your arrival. DJ, contact the police. Let them know there's been a major fight here and take the Avenue Company members into custody. Keep them tied up in our city's warehouse."

Turning her attention to Marie, Izzy asked, "Have you ever ridden a motorbike?"

After dropping Marie off at her parents' house, Izzy made her way to the hospital to check on everyone else. The doctors and nurses assured her that the injuries were minor, and they insisted on checking Izzy as well. However, she waved off their concerns, stating, "This isn't my blood. I'm fine."

Returning to her apartment, Izzy swiftly cleaned herself of any traces of blood, changing into fresh clothes. Settling in front of her computer, she accessed the live feed from the warehouse where BJ and DJ were interrogating the two remaining Avenue workers.

DJ questioned them, "Why did you kidnap an innocent little girl?" Their lips remained sealed. Izzy decided to intervene and called BJ. "Have you tried using force?" she asked. BJ confirmed, "Yes," prompting Izzy to instruct, "Put me on speaker."

Izzy utilized an app to modify her voice before issuing a stern warning, "Guys, spill everything you know right now, or we'll resort to alternative methods. You've witnessed our ruthlessness. DJ, if they remain silent, use the Cactus water technique. It's like Cactus juice mixed with spikes, and buckets of it will be used if you refuse to cooperate. BJ, display the prepared Cactus water."

BJ signaled to some helpers who brought in over ten large buckets, ready for use. Izzy continued, "Demonstrate by pouring a full jug on the floor near them." BJ promptly complied, showcasing the Cactus spikes and water, making the captives visibly anxious.

Izzy continued, relaying mockingly, "Ah, that looks so entertaining. I'd have a blast, throwing it around. Grown men screaming like little boys would be quite a sight." DJ quietly approached the captives and warned, "Hurry up or we'll follow our leader's orders. Intrusive thoughts win, and you never know what might happen."

Izzy added, "BJ, how about throwing a full jug at their, eh, 'junk'? It rhymes, doesn't it? No kids, no fathers like them." With pressure building, one of the captives finally cracked, pleading, "I'll tell you everything. Please don't do anything like that." Izzy swiftly ended the call, awaiting the twins' return.

Later in the evening, BJ and DJ arrived back at the apartment, where Izzy was immersed in her thoughts. Suddenly, she sprang up, startling the newly arrived twins. DJ exclaimed, 'Whoa, that scared me!'

Izzy regarded the pair and directed, 'I need you to prepare a comprehensive presentation on everything. Also, gather all the information about the principal that I asked for. I'm planning to pay my dad a little visit.'

Izzy headed straight to her father's workplace and approached the receptionist to inquire about her dad's whereabouts. The receptionist seemed hesitant and responded, 'I'm sorry, Miss, but Mr. Wilson is currently attending a business party.'

Izzy immediately asked, 'What's the dress code? Please get me a pass.'

Izzy entered the venue, she had already asked her parents for their picture together so she could recognize them. It didn't take much for them to recognize Izzy since she took the whole room's attention when she entered. She walked to her dad and her mom, her mother then asked 'Why are you here honey?' Izzy replied 'I had some things to talk about with Dad but his employee said he would be here.' Mr.Wilson then said 'What is that you wanted to talk with me?' Izzy looked towards her mother and then her father said 'How about a father-daughter dance?' Izzy nodded and took her father's hand to the dance floor. While dancing Mr.Wilson asked 'What did you want to talk about?' Izzy replied 'You know the Asian cuisine restaurant? Which the former con artists run?' Her dad replied 'Yes, they have a daughter.' Izzy replied 'Well, yesterday their daughter Marie was kidnapped.'

Her dad looked worried and said 'Did you inform the police? Are they investigating?' Izzy replied 'Don't worry, I took care of that already. Marie is with her family. That was the reason I didn't come home yesterday.' Mr. Wilson then said 'Honey, are you okay? I don't want you to get hurt.' Izzy replied 'I won't get hurt dad. I want some information about the Avenue company and the CEO.' Mr.Wilson looked around and said 'The guy at 3 O'clock. He is the CEO, Robert Anderson. Remember don't do anything.' Izzy smiled and replied 'I know. How about you introduce me to everyone here?' 

Her dad nodded smiling and walked towards his business partners. As Izzy talked with her father's business partners, One of them said 'Why have we never heard of a daughter in the Wilson family?' Izzy smiled replying 'Hello gentlemen. I am Izabella Wilson. I studied in a residential school previously; That's probably why you didn't hear much about me.' The people there understood and another person said 'So, Miss Wilson, Will we be doing business in the future?' Izzy looked at her father and said 'Actually, My big brother Izaiah will be taking over the business after my father. I will just help around. For now, I would say probably since I am still young to make any decisions right now.' One of them then said 'You have a bright future ahead of you Miss Wilson.' Izzy smiled at their words.
