"Senator Julio Garcia was found dead in an apartment in New York City, The authorities said the only suspect they could point is the owner of the said apartment, Lauren Jauregui---"
The news echoed in all buildings in and outside of United States of America, the death of Senator Julio Garcia, brought tears to all of his supporters as he was known as a very intelligent, very industrious and very down to earth politician. But under his mask is a criminal, murderer or clearly a beast. A very opposite side to what he showed to the Americans and all sorts of race. His death is a headline and Lauren's chance of living keeps on getting smaller.
"I trusted that bitch! We trusted that bitch! How could she do this?" Justin Garcia's voice echoed the entire room making his men flinch. The younger Garcia is too mad and wants revenge immediately. "Hunt her down." Justin said looking at the men in front of him. "I'll avenge my father. Find her and give her to me, I'll give her the punishment she deserves... and also I want that Dr. Cabello dead immediately"
Normani Hamilton, Garcia's most trusted Secretary and Lauren's best friend, hurried to her car and dialled Lauren's number. "Pick up, Lauren." She muttered tapping her fingers on the steering wheel impatiently. The ringing stop and a Lauren's raspy voice appeared on the line. "Normani?" Lauren said. Normani sat up and run a hand through her hair. "Lauren, I need you to trust me. Okay?" Normani replied. There was a silence on the other line; Normani licked her lips her eyes scanning the parking lot to make sure she won't get caught by Garcia's men. "I trust you." Lauren whispered as she tried so hard not to cry. "Where are you?" Normani asked her voice pleading and soft. "I'm in our favourite café. So far no one has noticed me yet."Lauren said looking around to make sure no one has looked at her for too long, for her face is all over the place right now. "Okay, I need you to go to the exit. I'll be there in a minute." Normani said hurriedly.
Lauren stood up and made her way to the exit making sure to act normal. There is doubt on her brain that her best friend will betray her but her heart argues to what her brain is telling her and she chose to listen to her heart regardless of the danger it might bring to her.
She's standing outside of the café for at least five minutes and Normani hasn't arrived yet. Every second past leads to a point on Lauren's brain; that it's right that she shouldn't have trusted Normani. Lauren was about to walk away when a familiar black Audi r8 parked in front of her. When the window to her side rolled down and she saw Normani and not a gun, Lauren felt relieved "Lauren, get in, quick!" Normani called as she open the door from the inside of the car. Lauren quickly got in checking the backseat quickly. "You don't trust me don't you?" Normani said, Lauren's action didn't get unnoticed by the dark skinned woman behind the steering wheel. "I trust you, it's just... nothing" Lauren said as she relaxed inside Normani's car. "I heard what happened." The dark skinned girl said. Lauren laughed bitterly and shook her head. "You don't say." She replied to her best friend. Normani felt like Lauren didn't trust her completely and she can't blame the green eyed woman for that. Lauren noticed the dark-skinned girl's silence and felt guilty on she doubted her best friend's loyalty. She reached Normani's hand and squeezed it. "I'm sorry, it's just... you've been working for the Garcias for a long time now and I thought you'll choose them over me but, you're here." Lauren said sincerely. "Its okay, Lauren. I understand." Normani replied giving Lauren a soft smile.
The green eyed girl reciprocated the gesture and sat comfortable on the front seat when she noticed a small green blinking light on the left side mirror of the car. "Stop the car." Lauren said her voice full authority. "Huh?" Normani looked at her confused. "I said stop the car!" Lauren exclaimed and the dark skinned girl stopped the car. "What's the problem?" The dark skinned girl asked. "Did the Garcias give you this car?" Lauren asked her eyes still focused on the green blinking light on the left side mirror of the car. "Yeah, why?" Normani replied her eyebrows furrowed. Lauren sighed and ran a hand through her thick black locks. "This car has a tracking device in it." Lauren said finally locking eyes with Normani. Normani's eyed widen and her mouth gapes in shock. "Everything from them has a tracking device installed in it. We need to get the fuck out off this car." Lauren continued. Lauren is about to get out off the car when Normani grabbed her arm and pulled her inside. "What the fuck, Mani!" Lauren said trying to get out off Normani's grip. "We have to make an escape plan Jauregui" Normani said calmly. "What?" Lauren said impatiently. "This is not a fucking Robbery mission. Why do we need a fucking escape plan?" Lauren shouted but the Dark skinned woman didn't seem affected by it. "Because what we need to do is basically escape from the Garcias and Get the fuck out off New York City." Normani replied. Lauren placed a hand on her head." Fine." She replied. "What's the plan?" Lauren continued. Normani looked around the place and back to Lauren. "I'll get out off the car first to check if the coast is clear and..." Normani grabbed something from the backseat and handed it to Lauren. "You'll have to wear this." Lauren looked at the thing on her hand. It is a long straight blonde wig. Lauren quickly put the thing on her head as Normani went out off the car. A minute later Normani knocked on the car and mouthed 'Let's Go' to Lauren, who quickly got out of it.
"We have another problem." Normani said as they settled down on an abandoned warehouse few meters away from the car. Lauren looked at Normani and nodded, prompting her to go ahead and tell her what it is. "You know, Camila Cabello... I mean Dr. Camila Cabello?" Normani asked carefully. Lauren just nodded and looked down. After a few minutes of silence Normani continued. "Justin Garcia wants her dead immediately." Normani said still looking at Lauren who exhaled loudly. "Why can't they leave her alone?" Lauren asked losing her patience. "At first, Julio Garcia wants you to kill her to make her father's life miserable, you know political rivalry but now, it's a different story. Justin Garcia wants to kill her or rather the both of you for vengeance. He knew it'll kill you inside if you'll witness how they kill her that's why she's also in danger now." Normani casting a look on Lauren "We need to save her. You need to save her." Normani continued emphasizing the 'you' to address Lauren who seems to be in deep thought. "How are we going to get to Maimi?" Lauren asked. Normani smiled and sat up confidently. "I have that covered already." She said and winked at her best friend.
