Enchanted

Counter Attack

Engfa's POV

"Please tell me there is a very, very logical explanation about all these?"

I said while looking at the woman sitting calmly on the old couch of the small under ground room where we are. The woman smiled crookedly at me before standing up.

"You should know by now, Officer Waraha, that money can buy logic."

Amanda said before walking towards me. I threw a careful look at Charlotte who just gave a me a shrug. I sighed loudly before looking at Amanda with a curious look.

"I know but money can't raise a dead back to life."

I said not believing a word of it. Somehow, I believe that maybe money can do anything in this world. Amanda laughed dryly before crossing her arms in front of her. She looked around before talking again.

"Here's the deal. Help me get back at my very loving husband and I will give you everything you want."

She said. I heard Charlotte snorted in disbelief. Amanda looked at her curiously but smiling.

"Hmm. Of course, I know what you're thinking. Who knows? Maybe I can give it to you."

Amanda said making Charlotte cock her head to the side while looking at Amanda with a mixture of rage and disbelief.

Charlotte took something from her back pocket and showed it to Amanda who took it with delicate fingers. Amanda smiled at her but this time it was softer. Like a mother to her child.

"I meant it when I said anything, Doctor."

Amanda said making Charlotte angrier. She muttered something under her breath before turninf her back on us.

"I need to go back to my patients."

She said. I wanted to follow her but decided that she needs a little space. I looked at the others inside the room. Meena is leaning on her mahogany computer table while looking at Amanda with interest while Heidi's sitting on a stool in the corner of the room. Her head is on her hands.

"Are you going to tell us how you're alive?"

Meena said after a minute of silence. Amanda shoot her a cunning look and shrugged.

"The past is in the past. I only want to talk about the future and by that I mean stopping Saint."

She said. I exhaled loudly before standing up straight.

"Fine. What do you know and what can we do? I don't care how it happened just tell us something."

I said in desperation. Amanda laughed in amusement before walking back to the couch to get something from her bag. She walked back to me and handed me a small brown envelope.

I took it.

"You have all the evidence that you need in that small flashdrive. Everything. I can give you all the money that you need to take this bastard down. Also, I need you to do one other thing for me."

She said. Her demeanor became more serious. I handed the envelope to Meena who took it before sitting down on her computer chair.

I walked behind Meena who is now opening an encrypted file. We went through the files. My heart started to beat a little faster.

"Hot damn. You don't just have dirr against Saint. There's enough dirt in here that will make the system collapse overnight."

Meena said. She was right. I looked at Amanda still not convinced that she's doing this just for her revenge.
