Fantasia
I met with Reese in a nice secluded area she told me she found near the plaza. As much as I'm ready to go home, it feels bittersweet. This trip has brought me pain and suffering, but it has also brought me 3 amazing people. I met Reese and Angelica because of Nadira, and I want to continue to uphold these relationships because of her.
I walked up to a pool surrounded by lamps and nature. There were beautiful fairy lights hanging above the pool and soft music playing in the background. I approached Reese and another woman that looked quite older than both of us.
Reese looked up and met my eyes. "Tasia!" A smile beamed out and she jumped up to hug me. "Thank you for meeting me, I wasn't sure if you would be okay with leaving your villa."
"I'll always answer your call, Reese." She pulled away from me but her eyes lit up again. She looked back to the woman who had both of her feet submerged in the pool water.
"Fantasia, this is one of my mentors and safe people here, Rocky."
"Hello," she waved and stood up, "It's nice to meet you, Fantasia."
"Same to you. How are you?"
"I'm doing okay, thank you. Reese called me and told me about your situation, and it sounds pretty similar to one that I've recently encountered. I thought that if I got to talk to you and ease your mind slightly." I nodded my head and she walked us over to the outdoor chairs. Reese sat next to me and Rocky sat in front of us.
"When we first got here, I overheard one of my villa mates talking about these messages she had been getting for a while. They were either extremely terrifying or accusations of dishonesty." I nodded my head, I knew those well. "Her husband came with her for the first four days because he wanted to have a little vacation with her until she was completely gone for a few weeks. When he was leaving for the airport, someone called and informed her of men who would be waiting for her husband as he got back to the states. This was completely random so she didn't believe it. About two days ago, he was found dead back at their home. It's suspected that he was tortured and killed."
My face changed a little as she finished what she was saying, I don't understand how this story could relate to me much but I nodded to let her know I was listening.
She smirked at me and continued, "You're nodding like I just gave you the most important information in the world." We both laughed and I apologized. "It's okay. I'm telling you this because her husband worked for the Tuckers. He's been loyal to their company for the past two decades. I don't want to point fingers at anybody, but it's quite ironic how two important people from that big ass company ended up deceased. I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but something is up with that."
I looked away to think. I heard Reese continue a conversation with Rocky. It absolutely does make sense that the Tuckers could be responsible for this, especially with all the things I keep finding out about them. This woman's husband, Taraji's brother, and whoever else there is in the world loyal to these people. I wonder what Nadira had to do with any of this.
Reese reached over and rubbed my back. It snapped me back into the topic. "I don't think it's Tucker Industries doing it, but someone has to be doing it out of revenge. Maybe secrets?" Rocky finished what saying and I nodded."
"It's something with loyalty, it has to be." I added. Both of the women nodded in agreement. I got Rocky's phone number to keep in touch with her ideas. She made a lot of sense and it's important to keep her words safe.

Third Person
Gregory drove around in his rental car on the phone with Billy Tucker. The conversation had been ongoing for days, but the disappearance of the Tucker son had made the phone calls from his father more constant than before.
"Sir, I have no idea who could have gotten at your son. I'm doing everything in my power to get him back." A lie. Gregory tried his hardest to keep the death of Billy's beloved son under wraps, not telling a single soul. Not even Colton's own father.
"You're lying to me. You're lying to me and that won't help you in the long run. You're supposed to protect my son. Keep up this disguise and see where it gets you." The phone call ended and Gregory let out a heavy sigh.
He drove back to his building in a hurry. He got back into his office and went straight to his desk. He pulled out a tablet and a pen.
This man has created monsters and he wants them to continue doing the dirty work he couldn't bother getting his hands dirty with. I killed that boy's best friend a while back and went back to BT with a smile on my face. For a man so dead set on the truth, he enjoys the lies he tells to others. Colton Tucker and Nadira Aguilar were two of his henchmen. He used his own son and daughter in law for his goals and they both ended up dead. He's taken my family and friends away from me, and I don't mind knocking each one of his down until i get to him. If I don't make it out of this alive, I at least righted some of my wrongs.
