Chapter 39
Treasure's POV :

I didn't sleep good last night. All I could think about was Mr. Greene. How could he possibly work for a cartel and none of us seen it coming? No one caught it. We saw each other almost everyday and he moved right under our noses, which makes me think back of all the cartel cases we had.

He closed them. Every single one that we were getting close to. He would always say it's getting too dangerous or tell us that it wouldn't lead to anywhere. But realistically he was closing it so he wouldn't get caught.

All the people that died at the hands of those cartels. The drugs, the women. All because his boss. Maxim Volkov.

I went over each case that we worked on in my head. Trying to remember the last portion of what we've done to make Greene close it. I didn't even realize the time until i heard a knock on the door, breaking me out of my rumination. I looked at the clock on the night stand to realize that it was 9 o clock. "Come in."

I was already sat up. The person came in poking their head in the room. I looked up seeing it to be Liz. Just the person I needed. "Good morning. Everyone's downstairs except you." She fully came in, closing the door behind her.

"Yea, I didn't realize what time it was."

"You okay?" She stood on the side of the bed in front of me.

"Yea, but we need to talk."

"I figured." I love how it's always her to come to me first. I never got the chance to knock on her door, she always beats me to it.

"It's about Greene." I just wanted to get to the point, details later. I don't even think after she hears what I'm about to say, she'll care about what the details are. "He's apart of the Russian Mafia." I whispered the last part not wanting the others to hear their enemies's name. Liz didn't even look surprised. You could tell that's not what she expected but it seems like she already broaden her ideas of what could possibly be going on.

"What did Demetri find out?" She crossed her arms.

"I sent him to James or Amari to look deeper into Greene and his ex wife. Camilla Ortez is not her real name. It's Irina Kuznetsovq. And her father is Maxim Volkov." Now that made Liz's mouth drop. She stood there frozen bamboozled with what's been told.

"So Greene was married to Maxim's daughter." Our conversation transitioned to whispered only.

"Clearly they're still at it with each other because they both ran away at the same time. Something's definitely happening."

"We're useless here. There's nothing we could do to figure out what's happening." She's right. We're on the inside that's supposed to play the role of two clueless girls who don't know anything.

"Unless we don't be."

"Whenever you talk like that it's never good." Was that an insult? Yes. Did it hurt? Yes.

"Hear me out. What if we bring the gang here."

"Like Sebastian and Demetri?"

"And Amari and James. This isn't just a two man job anymore."

"You're right but they just lost Greene, our team leader. They can't leave now at the most vulnerable time. That's suspicious."

"Then we gotta think of a way to get them here without raising any suspicions."

"We could call them for backup. Say that we need the rest of the team here."

"That could work but we don't have Greene to approve that anymore."
