Tainted Redemption

Chapter seven

It took me seconds to run in the surveillance room that's just down the hall before the backdoor.

I quickly stride to the desk next to the screens. My vision skates on the small but hd tv's where you could see every inch of my house, inside and outside, my hand ever so slightly tapping on the desk impatiently. I click on the last twenty minutes footage to see who was on my front door.

It takes a little to load even if the pc is expensive and one of the fastest in the market. That's what Louis told me anyway. Fastest pc my asš, it still takes a few minutes. Those few minutes leave me restless and on edge.

I didn't have time damn it... Olivia is in danger, and as much as I don't want to see her after her cold words or even think about her 'cause I'm jealous as fûck to know she's actually with some snobby jackasš, she remains a target to many right now and I would hate myself if I don't achieve to keep her safe. She's all I have... I try and stay clear from those thoughts. I can't let her gain control over my actions because then I am disoriented and vulnerable. I can't afford that. No more innocent people will die because of my mob. It cost Liam the greatest loss, first his sister then Alice...both of those departures took a deep toll on my conscience even if I never let it show... My fingers run through my hair, it's a bad habit. I hope I won't get bald 'cause of this. I sigh heavily at my nonsense thinking...

I could only hope those useless blokes that guard Olivia's house do their job right, come to think of it I managed to get inside her house quite easily since those two fuckerš were patrolling wrongly, by letting enough time span between the circles they made around the house, leaving the places; window and backdoor, front door, unguarded approximately two minutes which was the perfect opportunity for me to sneak in. Liv also forget to lock the back door. I hope her attention is on that and she doesn't make that mistake again, as for those two idiots, they should get better instructions and stick to them. If not I'll make them pay.

I blink quickly and get my attention back to this piece of shït pc.

Finally the fuckïng video loads but all I see is a faceless person, as he's masked, who's been ringing keenly and knocking loudly with his feet and hands. Sneaky asš. He was lucky I haven't caught him. Three seconds earlier and I'd have him.

My hands fly up in my hair in frustration, "Fûck!" I loudly exhaled.

Immediately I pat my jeans pockets before calling up Louis.

"Man, this is creepy as fûck!" Louis yelled wildly when I showed him the pictures they sent, his eyes scan ferociously ovee them, "Wait a minute...there's you in her house!" his eyes widen as he inspects the pictures closely and he looked up to me in stupor.

"Yeah, that's another story. No big deal," I brush it off as I'm giving him an indifferent look, "There's other stuff to worry about. I need to know who the fûck is doing this. And that as soon as possible."

"Whoa, whoa. Calm down, Speedy Gonzales." he muttered, "You have shït ton to explain. I'm not about to do something without knowing the whole thing." he sternly said.

"What the fûck are hinting at? All you gotta do is find me this motherfûcker, that's all."

But he refuses, and Niall and Harry approach us too, rounding the black couch. They haven't been close of the area so I didn't bother to call them but apparently Louis did.

"Dude, you went to see her?" Harry throws me a disturbed but somewhat sly stare after he checked out the photos, "I won guys. I told you he won't last more than five months." he suddenly boasted, Niall rolled his eyes.

"Are you fuckïng with me? You've made a ploy against me and a bet?" I muttered, "Y'all in first grade?" I sharply mocked, shaking my head. Just as Louis was about to throw some smart comment I cut him to it, "Get back to work. Do you want her to die like Alice did?"
