Next day...
I am now at the warehouse watching my men load the van with empty crates for the shipment tonight. Everyone was moving fast paced. Eli walked over to me after he got off the phone with Hector. "Did you find anything on the missing child from fun town." Eli sighed. "Hector told me they found the girl but-" i turned my head to look at him. He was hesitating to answer. "But what?" " Tristan Oswald was raped Evie." He blurted out causing me to freeze. What kind of sick bastard does this to little girls. Eli sensed my cold demeanor due to my silence as i continued to stare at my men working "Evie i don't want to tell you if-" "what else did Hector tell you." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "The sheriff has the area where they found the girl closed off but Julio will be able to sneak in and find some kind of clue of who might have raped her." I finally looked back at Eli. "Good. Tell Julio to search tonight when i go to Danny's. That way i can meet him when i finish." Eli only nodded and walked away. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. My phone started to ring. It was Hector.

Me: This better be good Hector
Hector: Don't worry, it is. Oswald hired the Sons to be little bounty hunters and track down the rapist.
Me:How the hell do you know this?
Hector: I planted a wire in his jacket when he went to go pick it up from the cleaners.
Me: You are a genius. But did you dispose of the wire-
Hector: Already did. Bumped into him and took the wire off when he wasn't looking.
Me: Thank god.
Hector: There's something else Evie.
Me:What could there possibly be.
Hector: Oswald offered Clay money but he refused and only wanted to find the perpetrator.But Clay wanted Oswald to be the one to kill the rapist.
Me: Knowing Clay he must have some type of motive as to why he won't kill the rapist himself.
Hector:Maybe didn't want to get caught by the police. If i was Clay i would use the method of blackmail to sway Oswald.
Me: Of course! He's gonna blackmail Oswald into not doing the expansion because he doesn't want competition.
Hector:Exactly.
Me:Okay thanks Hector, now get back to the warehouse. Eli has to debrief you before you two leave tonight.
Hector:On my way

I ended the call but soon after got a text from Gemma.

Gemma:Meet me @ the local diner.
Me: Sure when?
Gemma: Now. And don't be late.

I smirked and shook my head. Putting my phone back in my pocket, i began to walk to my car. "Where are you going." Jake asked as he put the last crate in the van. "To meet a friend. Don't worry, tell Eli I'll be back soon." Jake nodded and walked inside the warehouse.

Local Diner...
Me and Gemma sat at a small table close to the back of the diner. "Okay let's get down to business. Have you decided on coming to the clubhouse." Set my coffee down on the table and looked at Gemma as she sat across from me. "We'll be there. What time?" "Friday night. Around 8pm but you can come a little earlier to set up your equipment." "Alright. So whose the party for?" "Just a small club party. Seems like we have one everytime something good happens." I nodded, "sounds like my kind of party." "You can stick around if-." Gemma was cut off by her phone ringing. "Sorry i got to take this." I nodded then she answered the phone. "Hello.....yea I'm with a friend why?.....WHAT?! Are you serious. He's going into surgery now.....okay I'm on my way now." I furrowed my eyebrows as  Gemma looked panicked as she hung up her phone. "Everything okay Gem?" She looked at me with a worried expression. "My grandson is about to into surgery and he's 10 weeks premature." I gasped "okay we can take my car. Come on." She nodded and we both walked quickly to the car.
