Madame

Chapter 24

Elizabeth's POV

"She knows nothing, she has nothing, but she wasn't surprised when I told her Andrew left. She was more angry at the fact that you and I accused her. I have no doubt that her uncle knows much more. Have they found where he might be?" Ricky asks, walking around my office with his hands behind his back, examining the countless books on my shelves.

"No, Victor is too smart to have his location leaked. But that guard of his, Hugo, he's dumb enough. Start searching for him. Look at his social media, everything. There is no way he hasn't slipped up somewhere."

Ricky nods his head and leaves my office. "If I were a dumb motherfucker named Victor, where would I be after taking a hostage from an ally?" I pull up a chart of where Victor has a history of being. Where his warehouses are and more importantly where he isn't legally allowed to go. He's wanted in America. Everyone wants him there so there is a very big chance that he's there. But America is far and I don't want to send my men alone. I trust them but with a mission as big as this one I want to be there to personally end Victor.

I've got business to take care of here. Ari knows I know where she is. I mean she doesn't have a real reason to hide herself from me seeing that I've sent men to her house before. They were there a few days before, scouting her house for other residents and their routines and habits. Ari goes for a run around 16h every night. She goes into the woods above her house and on her way back she sometimes stops for a Monster at the little store in her village.

She seems happy, content with her little village life. Away from the crime and stress of the life she was forced into. I wish I could do that; well technically I can due to my trusted staff but I like being in the know of what's going on, especially in times like this.

"Welcome to Boston Logan Airport" The airport speaker squeaks

"I have never been in an airport where the announcements are nice to listen to." Ricky complains, readjusting his duffle bag on his shoulder.

"Then make it yourself." Reagan bites back, annoyed and tired after our 12 hours of travel.

"Both of you shut the fuck up." Carmen growls at both of them and they do as she says.

Carmen still feels awful about letting Andrew go but after some blood work and testing we came to the conclusion that an incapacitating agent was ingested by everyone in that room, besides Andrew because he was behind sealed doors.

"All of you be quiet. We need to get our stuff and leave for Topsfield as soon as possible. In the morning we're leaving for Hamilton and then going to Boston at night. He's got some friends from around here so we might be able to get some information. But for now split up and take different cars. Don't stop near the house."

This information should be common sense but at this point I can't have any screw ups or we might lose Andrew and I'll lose everything I've worked for.

"Aight." Reagan says nonchalantly, speeding ahead of all of us. He doesn't want to be here but unfortunately for him he's got big arms, not that big of a brain but at least he is useful for brute force.

"Don't dilly dally!" Ricky sings as he slips into the bathrooms and Carmen follows suit.

I know Ari had a house here. Well her mother did, when she was young, I'm not even sure Grey was born yet.

I get a car and ask the driver to drop me at some supermarket near the airbnb Ricky picked out. It was an ordinary house with two floors and enough rooms for most us. Reagan's sleeping on the couch. I thank the driver and tip him a non suspicious amount of money and start my walk to the house.
