Sherlocks Secret Escape

Chapter Fifteen Family Reunions And Secrets Revealed

Clara POV:

When I looked again, it was as clear as day that my mother was in front of me but I just chose not to believe it. All I could do was stare at the woman in front of me, she was suppose to be dead, she died when I was younger. I suddenly noticed that I had tears flooding down my chest as she looked up at me and stared at me in shock; that's when I notice how she's tied up. She's tied up exactly like my father was, exactly the same to every detail. The bruises, cuts and marks all there too. How could she be alive?

"Ah, hello we finally can meet face to face after everything." My old boss comes down from the second level he was on, and stands in front of me smiling like a Cheshire cat. 

"What am I doing here? I don't understand boss. . ." I'm about to carry on when I notice him down the other end of the room; it's him the other one Stephen Longpine. I try to get to him but I'm stopped by a hand being pressed to my chest slightly pushing me back into the spot I was before, I don't understand what happening and I don't like that disadvantage. 

"You are here Clara Phoenix, for a family reunion as well as a few family secrets that you need to know." He smiles and then all of a sudden his phone goes off, and the song 'Staying Alive' by 'The Bee Gees' rings throughout the warehouse. He sighs before picking up the phone and answering it. "Thank you Mitch, see you soon." He smiles then puts the phone back into his pocket. 

"So are you going to tell me or not boss?" He smiles then looks back at my mother, before looking back at me and smiling at me even more. 

"I'll give you two a moment to talk." He then signals for Stephen to come forwards towards us, and he quickly responds. Once he's standing in front of me, the boss walks off and back up to the second floor again doing something rather quickly on his phone. I take a few moments to quickly look over my bosses appearance. 

He is obviously younger than me, only by a few years I think two or three placing him at about the age of sixteen or seventeen. He's average height, and thin like a lot of people in this room but has no muscles. His eyes are a dark brown, while his hair is jet black and slicked back and his accent is clearly Irish. His very mature for his age in some account of ways, with his power and the way he controls these men, they all clearly fear the man and probably have done for a few years now. He wears expensive suits and likes to take care of himself, he could possible be gay or even bisexual there is no true way to tell. 

Just as I'm about to carry on closely examining my boss, he looks straight at me and gestures for me to talk to Stephen. When I do finally look at him, I can clearly see that he hasn't heard about Mike's death at the moment in time. I can see from the worry line on his face and the actual amount that he's chewed his nails in worry for his lover, well it's been several months since I murdered him but why hadn't he tried to find out about him? Oh . . . the boss hadn't told him, but also saying that. The boss sent Mike to kill me, after all this and paying me to kill those people, he sends someone to kill me knowing that I'll in fact kill them. 

"You never told him who Mike was after did you? Or what in fact has happened to him, have you?" I turn towards the boss as I shout at him so he can hear me, he turns back towards me and smiles. That evil smile that says, 'we both know that answer to that question'. Now I have to tell Stephen who Mike was after, and the fact that I killed him. This will then most definitely turn into a fight to the death, where I will definitely win. After all in a fight like that, mind and strength is a better combination than fuming anger and revenge, everyone knows that but the feelings just take over so quickly you don't notice it. 

"Why what's happened to Mike?" He asked showing the worry in his voice as he does, exposing his vulnerable side. 

"The person that Mike was sent to kill was me, and I'm actually quite happy to say that I killed the son of a bitch. You two killed my father and I went after you both, only to be stopped by the government when I was seconds apart from killing him in Portugal. You want to know how I killed him and how it happened?" He just nod's his head and tears stream down his face. "Our boss sent Mike Cable to come and kill me when I didn't expect it. So he decided to try and shoot me down when I went for a run in a local town woods, he got me through the shoulder and through the hand. But before he could even get his third shot I was up and running, I kept on running until I could hide behind or under something so that he would run right past me and I could sneak up on his. That's exactly what he did, giving me the perfect opportunity to force him to the ground and ask him a few questions."
