chapter eight
investigationY/N POV
"Y/N! Ya made it!" Schlatt exclaims, walking over to Alex and I as we leave the crowded elevator. He sets his drink down on a counter and then holds his arms out for a hug.
"Don't touch me, I'm carrying a gun" I threaten him. Schlatt rolls his eyes and drops his arms. "So, do we just hang out?" I move on. I glance around and notice Alex take a step closer to me, silently grasping onto my hand.
Schlatt shrugs. "Yeah. Y'know maybe walk around, congratulate me every time you see me" He glances at me before continuing. "Say, good job on buying another company, boss" He adds, once again, glancing at me a few times.
"Alex, congratulate him. I'm gonna go to the bathroom" I tell Alex, nudging him before slipping away from the two.
"I can take you"
I look over my shoulder and see the two staring at me. I was unsure and didn't know which one said it since they both reached out towards me with an offering hand. "No.. I'm good" I awkwardly reply. I turn away again and walk off to find some proper evidence that Schlatt isn't who he seems to be.
We were on floor nine. It was one huge room with a bar in one of the corners. There was also a hallway that seemed to be closed off for the party. I look around to check if anyone was staring, before slipping under the red rope (that stopped anyone from entering) and making my way down the hallway.
The hallway was wide, and there were three doors. Hopefully one of them would hold a a secret behind it. I try the first door, locked. I scowl and slip my hand into my sock (since I was in flat, fancy shoes), taking out a bobby pin. I pull and tug the metal, shaping it so I can fit it into the lock. I glance around again before jamming the pin into the lock, slowly wiggling and picking at it until there's a click. I slide the pin back into my sock before entering the room. My eyes scan the dark room for a light switch, yet I only spot a wiggling body in the corner of the room. "Help..!" The persons muffled voice makes me jump back, I hadn't expected them to speak.
I rush over and crouch down in front of them, tearing the tape off their mouth. Their eyes were also covered by a black blindfold, which slowly gave me resignation on who the person was. "Mika, right?" I ask him. Mika takes in a deep breath through his mouth and nods. "Why the fuck are you tied up?" I ask another question as I grab him by the shoulders and turn his back to me so I can untie the rope around him.
"I kept on telling Schlatt things he didn't wanna hear" Mika scoffs. "But he's my friend and that's just how he is sometimes" He loudly sighs and shakes his head.
I pull rope off him. "What? Are you just accepting his behavior? He locked you in a room! That's kidnapping, I can--" I stop myself before I reveal myself.
"We're friends" Mika shrugs. "And I'll get him to say sorry" He claims as he stands up. "Thanks for untying me, but he's probably gonna trap me in this room again when he sees me"
