Chapter 30
Treasure's POV:We made it onto the port and he was back in asshole mode. No opening doors for me, using his long legs to stride down the port. Meanwhile my ass is still tryna get out the car. I get it, his men are here and he has to hold the "i'm the boss i can't let my men see me as soft." I didn't complain about it though. I'm just ready to go to his house and go to fucking sleep.
It's goddamn almost 4 o'clock in the morning. I bet when he's done here the sun is gonna come up and it magically happened to be 7 in the morning.
I stood incorrected though when I saw he slowed down his stride a bit. I don't know if that was for my purpose to catch up or if he's tired of running his marathon and decided to walk slower. But in my delulu head i'm gonna say it was option one.
Just as we were about to enter, the door opened revealing lorenzo with not one single blood nor sweat coming from him. He glanced at me, giving me a nod before looking at Elijah. He started speaking in their native tongue while still walking ahead. At this rate I need to learn how to speak italian because every single time they open their mouths and speak italian, i'm just sitting, looking lost and confused as fuck.
Why couldn't they assign Santiago for this position. He speaks Spanish but I'm pretty sure he would've been able to translate a few words.
They spoke the whole way from the entrance to now outside. Just as we stepped out you could automatically feel the vibe changed. You know when you can feel someone staring at you? It's quite similar but instead you can just feel when someone's dead. Like there's bodies littering the ground from left to right, straight, sideways, any fucking postion you could imagine to move your head, you will see a body.
Then you have Elijah's men moving bodies to god knows where. And to top it all off, when you look at Elijah, you just can't decipher what he's thinking.
He took a look around then turned around, and started to leave. I didn't say anything and just followed him out. But before I could even walk back through the door, I witnessed one of the cargo's being left open but empty. If you have a shipment, why would your containers be empty if you stopped them from taking whatever should be inside? I also didn't get the fact that he came all this way to not say a word.
Unless there was nothing in the cargo's in the first place. I didn't realize that I stood there longer than expected so when I turned around to keep walking, Elijah was long down the hall. I sped walked all the way up to him as he turned the corner, entering a room. "Your containers are empty." I said, out of breath as soon as I caught up with him.
"I'm well aware."
"Why are they empty if you supposedly have a shipment tonight?"
"That's because there wasn't actually a shipment tonight, smart ass." Lorenzo put his two cents in. Which was never asked in the first place.
Why is he coming at me like I'm supposed to know what the hell is going on? "Oh and I'm just magically supposed to know that?" I will knock his ass out if I have to.
"Enough." Elijah said. Closing the door behind me. "No, there's no actual shipment tonight because tonight was a test."
"What test?" A test for what?
"To discover the fact that we have a rat." Oh. Wait what? If me and Liz are the rats. You're telling me there's more?! Wait til he finds out that he has 3 rats. And not only that but 2 cops on the inside and a rat that works for his enemies. Damn, this year is not his year. He needa get on his zoom cause how the hell you let that happen? He doesn't need to figure that out yet just wait til we're done with what we have to do.
