Alora
After Diamanté dropped us off at the apartment complex, Arik began cooking up a meal for the two of us.
"Before I even think about giving the intelligence agency another chance, I plan to take care of Chris. Not only for decieving me, but for tricking you as well" He told me.
I took a long sip of my water before placing the bottle back on the counter, watching as he fixed two plates of chicken curry.
"You'll come with me, won't you?" He asked as he slid the plate my way, handing me a utensil.
"Of course I will, you don't even have to ask" I replied before taking a bite of the food, him soon sitting in front of me.
"I gotta say... I'm still a bit surprised that you agreed to Tristian being a free man again. You've been trying to figure out who Antonio Ricci was for quite some time" I pointed out, a sour expression now on his face as he twirled his utensil around.
"I hate Antonio Ricci, that's one thing that I will admit. I hate the way both him and Diamanté Rodríguez look at you... but what's even worse is the thought of Rafael Ricci running for mayor and getting elected" He replied before taking a bite of his own food.
"If Antonio Ricci is able to keep a low radar, I know that he'll be able to take care of him for us" He added.
"Alright then, what day were you thinking about going to see Chris?" I asked.
"Thanks to the information Ivano Cabrera gave us, we now know what hospital he's in and when Rafael Ricci will be arriving here. I was thinking we could go first thing in the morning since Rafael won't be here until the afternoon, that way we can scope things out and have things ready before he tries to kill Chris" He explained.
"Why would he try to kill Chris?" I asked in confusion.
"Chris was one of his henchmen. Neither did the agency nor myself know at the time. While I was doing research on Antonio Ricci, I found out that Chris was in cahoots with his brother Rafael. My guess is that he found that his cover was blown, told Rafael and now he wants the both of us dead to cover his sorry ass. The whole bombing incident was their idea, which is why I was framed. So even as of right now... the agency has no idea" He said.
A big sigh came from me as I shook my head in disbelief, "I can't believe Chris... to think he would do something like that to you of all people" I muttered out.
"Yeah, but it's whatever. I honestly don't give a damn about the bastard. My plan is to scare the shit of of Chris and make him agree to cooperating with us. Not only would that save his ass from getting killed, but it could help clear my name.
We'll have a phone hidden somewhere that would be going live, recording the whole thing. That way everyone watching would be able to see Rafael for who he really is" He spoke out.
I nodded my head as I continued to eat while listening to what he had in mind.
"It's not a bad plan. I'm guess I'll be the one to stop things before they get too messy?" I asked, watching as he nodded his head.
I then smiled, "That sounds like a plan then"
The two of us continued to eat our food while talking about other things, soon cleaning up our mess before getting ready for bed.
Arik gave me a pair of his shorts and a T-shirt to sleep in for the night, "Arik its fine. I really don't mind sleeping on the couch-" I began.
"No, Alora. There's no way I'm letting my sister sleep on the couch. Plus, it's only for tonight" He replied back.
