Chapter Forty

OK... what's the plan?... i asked.

Well I am not sure if you knew but I was hired at first to be Richard's personal assistant... said Clarissa... and let's just sayyyy...she dragged.... he isn't as honest as he seems.... Richard has dabbled in slot of illegal activities; activities such as: investment frauds ---

Money laundering... said Dr. Coleman

Definitely human trafficking... Kyle spoke.

I nod... I expected that much... I thought.

Murder... spoke Clarissa sadly. Obviously remembering her grandmother, her eyes started to get watery as she stares off. Dr. Coleman reached over and squeeze her hand on the table....I know he did it... she said softly.

I couldn't help but empathize with her pain. I mean ... her grandmother was her only living relative... until he took her from her... I frowned at this.

Don't worry baby... he will pay...he will pay for all the pain he caused us...whispered Dr. Coleman.

Damn right he will!!.. Clarissa shouted angrily while banging her hands on the table sending a wave of echoes.

OK... so how do we get him... I asked softly.

She inhaled... as if she was re collecting her composure.

OK... she breathed out .... there should be a safe room in the underground rooms... she said.

There is... I spoke... Kyle and I stumbled in it couple weeks ago.

Dr. Coleman eyes widen... you've been busy I see... he said smiling.

I smiled back.

There are a lot of safes though... I spoke remembering.

Yes... but most of it are just films of the girls pleasing his clients... for his fetish and black mail purposes... said Clarissa.

Suddenly I began recalling that night I was almost a call girl. Thanks God it was Kyle who was my client, how we got so lucky I don't know but I am extremely grateful. What if it wasn't Kyle? What if it wasn't someone else???.... I can't even fathom... what if Kyle had gotten another girl too?... would he have---

Suddenly he chuckled... interrupting my thoughts.

You do know if I had gotten some other girl that night I still wouldn't have cheated on you right?... he asked me.

What the fuck man are you a mind reader or something?!!... I shouted feeling invaded.

He laughed... nope... I just know you well.... he responded.

We don't care about those safe though... you need time get to the safe with the good stuff... spoke Clarissa... those safes are not out in the open like the others....those are hidden in a secret compartment, in the wall..

The wall?.. I asked in disbelief.

She chuckled... let's say Richard watches too many James bond movies... she add.

It's in the area behind the huge desk... she continued....you have to feel for it though .... it's not easy to find.

Ok.. I said as I nod.

She then went in her purse and handed me a folded paper... you will need this...

I took it and unfold it. There were three codes:

6 - 7 - 1 - 3

4 - 5 - 7 - 8

9 - 2 -5 -1

The only ones who will be able to even come close to safes are you Rihanna and Ken.. she said.

But we can't just waltz down to the underground rooms... Mr. Buntly would obviously get suspicious... I said.

That's where I will come in... spoke Kyle... I will invite him to a business lunch giving you time time act.

I nodded.

I will place a hidden camera in a broach for you so I can sit and direct you from my studio if you need help with the safes... spoke Clarissa.

Oh! You will need this... she said going in her purse again she pulled her a gun and placed in on the table. I didn't know much about guns but this looked beautiful.

What the fuck is that for?... Kyle asked.

You might need it... she respond.

I am not cool with this... Kyle said.

Yea guys... I can't hurt him like that... I spoke.

Silence followed as we all stared at the gun.

I'll take it for now... spoke Ken taking the gun off the table and tugging it in his pants.

Don't be fools... Clarissa said... if Richard finds out about this you will need that gun because you'll be as good as dead...she said coldly.

This is very dangerous. I mean... people could die and It's all because of me...I suddenly started envisioning Kyle lying in a pool of blood, my brothers, my mom, ken, everyone I loved and I started hyperventilating.

Maybe we shouldn't do this!... I blurted.
