I wish things went exactly the way i hoped they would go. The idea was perfect; mess with the accounts and files in my dads office. She would've been so proud of me. It was a good thing she wasn't here to see all this. It really would've broken her heart to know how everything went about.
"Babe...what are you thinking?" Nicole whispered in my ear.
"Nothing sweetheart, some complications are running through my head."
I was a bit confused and a bit excited, all the files that relate the funding to this school were inside and that was a pretty good evidence that I required. After the whole fiasco at the office I decided to work through the school files.
It was a good idea not to discuss this stuff with Debby, she would've given a better solution but I had no choice.
"You have the keys, right?" I asked Nicole
:You bet I have; borrowed and copied." She placed them in my hand.
I, very carefully, opened the door and entered the dimly lit hallway of our school, Nicole was right behind me. Those files were the last hope for me and I intended to get them.
We both tip-toed towards the pricipples office. I slid on my gloves, just in case they check for fingerprints, and turned the door nob but it didn't budge. I tried it several times but it was stuck.
"Dalton...what's wrong?"
"Everything Nicole,i should have known that this door would be locked. How could I not think of this?" As soon as I uttered thise words, the door very dramatically creaked open itself.
It was happiness that filed me but it was fear more than anything. Breaking the door wouldv'r led to the fact that someone was here but hurting someone would do the same.
I guess I'll have to improvise.
Nicole tightly held my arm as I stepped inside. In the centre of the room was a magnificent wooden table and on that table sat a gorgeous girl that held my attention. She sat there smiling at me, it was pure and simple but my reaction was totally different. I didn't know what to feel or think.
Should I be worried or should I just stare at her. I guess worried is a better choice; Nicole would probably eat be alive.
"You know," the unamed girl started "You probably oculd never have thought of the fact that princy's office would be locked. You're not as smart as me."
Nicole looked at me giving me a blank impression and then looked at her. I completely and unconsciously impersonated her actions.
"Who are you?" Nicole spat at her.
"Why don't you let pretty boy Dalton over here do the talking." She replied.
"Don't talk to my girlfriend like that! Who the hell are you?" I asked her.
"Dalton...I feel hurt, I thought you'd recognise me in an instant."
"What the hell is she talking about?" Nicole screeched.
"Nicole, lock the possesivness somewhere else, for now, okay?"
"Dalton, don't be mean to Nicole, we know how sensitive she gets when it's about you right?" She smiled, it wasn't pure anymore, it was purely evil.
"Stop with the riddles, we don't have all day, who the hell are you?"
"One; it's night, you know thieves come at night and second; take your best guess."
"How would I ever know who you are?" I asked, confusion was evident on my face.
"How about this; I'm very good at sneaking around, I'm an evil genius, I was supposedly in love with you and I was supposedly in Englad."
"Debby...?" No, no, no, this can't be her. Everything will be ruined.
"She's that bitch!" Nicole shouted. Debby jumped off the table.
"Oh no, you're the bitch" She calmly told Nicole.
"Listen you-"
"Did I say I was done?" She turned to me. "And it's actually Dania."
"You were in England..." I whispered.
"No you idiot, I wasn't. Didn't they ever tell you not to trust anyone over the internet as they are capable of making things up."
"I don't get it..."
"You remember when I told you about my mom and how she was smart and all. I forgot to mention one little fact, that she was a cop!”
“What…?” At this point every muscle in my body asked me to run, the adrenaline pumped in and I took hold of Nicole’s hand and made a dash towards the door but two very strong hands blocked my way.
“And that is my boyfriend, Jordan.” I heard Dania’s voice behind me. “We were in on this together just like you were with Nicole.” I turned and faced her instead. The betrayal was so overwhelming that all my bodily functions were tiring. “You cannot possibly believe that I bought that whole story of your marriage, did you?” She raised her brows. “No kid wants to black their fathers business and the cherry on top was the fact that you actually told me that things didn’t go the way it was planned. You called me an evil genius but thought of me as a naïve girl. I grew up in mysteries around my mom, I think I had a pretty clear idea what I was doing. The school hired me, they knew they were being funded with black.”
“You don’t have any proof against me.” I spat at her.
“God! All you thieves and cons are really dumb. Do you really think I would give you the idea of messing with your Dad’s files and not know that you were going to clear all the accounts where the proof of corruption was evident? My mom had deputies place fake files over there and inserted a camera in that room. Neither you nor your Dad knew what was happening.”
“You-”
“Control your emotions Dalton, you both did the crime and now you’re going to do the time. We can spare Nicole.”
“I will get back at you. Don’t you ever forget that!”
“I won’t” She smiled at me. “But first you need to get out of jail for that. The whole place is surrounded; your dad is already in custody. Kiss you later, Dalton.”
She walked out of the room hand in hand with the guy she claimed to be her boyfriend. On the other side of the picture, I was being torn apart from the love of my life, Nicole, and being tied up in hand cuffs.
No Abercrombie…just orange jumpsuits.
I’ll remember Dania, I’ll remember just how smart you are. You’re luck won’t out do your smartness next time.
I have enough jailtime to plan your doom.
Don’t be happy just yet.
