Love Trap (Slow Updates)

Sixty Nine.

Aria's pov;

Despite my morning pain, both on my thigh and my bruised stomach, I woke up determined to get information about Josh, Rachel, Stephan and anyone in there that could be useful for me to uncover their secrets and get the justice I want. Brandon keeps telling me that nobody in there is who I think it is and the only way to find that out is to check the record Josh keeps on all his employees.

Josh keeps the records in his office and today was the day that he would be out of the headquarters. I was in luck in some part. But the card for his office was in other hands. Rachel's. I keep seeing her so close to him and now that I know she is the one he trusts with his office, something is definitely going on between the two of them.

Brandon and I met when I got back to the headquarters in the morning and I explained to him what I wanted from him. I wanted him to distract Rachel while I get the key from her room.

"What? You want to see the records?" His eyes widened at my request.

"Yes. It will give me a clear view of their backgrounds" I said.

"You can't do that. There's shit you don't want to know about in there, trust me" He said.

"Like what? I got shot, I shot people myself. I've been through enough to handle anything else. What is as worse as death?" I asked.

"Okay, whatever you say. But when you read all that, remember it was your choice. Don't panic and most importantly, keep your mouth shut. Trust me when I say this, you will understand when you see for yourself" He said.

"Okay, drama queen. Do you have any ideas on how to lure Rachel?" I asked.

"Of course. I'll talk to her about her training. She's a freak about it, I'll tell her we need to do a weight check and blood test to see if her fat levels are steady" He said.

I chuckled and nodded. "Thank you. Do that while I go sneak into her room" I said.

"Hey... If you... If you don't find her file on the letter R... Search through the first cabinet. You'll know what I mean when you see it" He said.

I lowered my brows and furrowed them, in confusion. "Why wouldn't I find it on R?"

"Just go and see for yourself" He said.

"Okay?" I said, or more likely asked. I didn't know what to expect now. "Let's go"

He nodded and plan was on. We were discussing this in his room, because we thought it was the safest of all, as mine could be bugged or even had cameras in. Brandon was working there ever since he turned 18, about seven years now. He was trusted and considered a loyal member for them, so there was no need to have him monitored and bossed around.

I stayed in his room, as Rachel's was right next to hers, so I had easy access. I could hear their conversation from her room, as he tried to persuade her to have a check up.

"Rach, do you have time?" He asked her.

"Sure, what is it?" She asked.

"We need to have a check up. Blood test, talk over your diet and exercises. You know how these things go. I've been thinking of a new diet for you guys, to help build up your muscles more, it's been long ever since we last changed your diet" He said. I hope he knows what he's saying.

"Oh, okay. Let's go then" She said, in a pleased tone. I heard shifting from the room and a door click closed. I heard their footsteps move further away and when I heard another door close, I know they were now in his office in the infirmary. This was my cue to leave. I popped my head out from the door of Brandon's room, to make sure nobody was around and got out, stepping lightly on the wooden floor to make no noise. I wasn't sure if Stephan was in his room or the living room, so I had to be quiet either way.
