Kill or be killed

'the book'

I need to find that book. Then Sanchez.

He most likely won't have the book on him but must have hid it somewhere, somewhere no one would look. He said he grew up in Puerto Rico, but I doubt it would be there.

I need to know where he was living before he came here.

"Chris!"
I yelled out waiting for him to enter.
After a few seconds he came inside.

"Yes boss"

"Find out where Sanchez lived before he came here. Don't leave a single detail out"

He nodded before leaving.

I really just wanted sleep at this point.
Haven't slept properly in almost two days.

While leaning back and sighing my door opened.
Pulling a face I looked up seeing Jaqueline enter.

Fuck sakes..why is she still here..

"How are you?"
I asked as she sat in front of me.

"Better"
She mumbled as i nodded.
I don't really know what to do with her.

"Any family?"
I asked hoping maybe I could just drop her off to them.

"I don't have one, they kicked me out when they found out I was a stripper. But I only did that because we had no money. We were on the edge of being homeless, yet they took all the money and disowned me.

Hunter found me,  and to be honest he had a heart for some time but instantly became cold.."
She said with a natural pout.
"He became more aggressive..and would hurt anyone who even looked at him.."
She said, her voice getting shaky.
She was clearly afraid of him.

I took a deep breathe before sitting up.

"Look. Your life is pretty shit right now. And that's because you went in the wrong path. But that's your mistake that you have to own up to"

She was nervously chewing at her lip while I tried to be nice but also honest.

"I didn't go in the wrong path. I was raised in it. But growing up I learnt one thing. Your real family doesn't mean shit. They won't do anything but hurt you.

But those you meet along your way..they become family.
And you are still young. You have a long road ahead to leave this life"

Now who would have thought I would be giving a pep talk..

"If you don't mind me asking..how old are you?"

"Nineteen"
I replied and she furrowed her brows.
She knotted her brows in confusion.

"How many lives have you lived?"
She whispered In shock while I just stared at her in disgust.

But anyway.
For me to get Sanchez back. I need to know more. More about Hunger.

"Jacqueline, can you tell me, where would Hunter hide Sanchez? Like a hideout maybe?"

"Hunter is a private man. He only talks to one person, and even if I knew I wouldn't be able to tell. Hunter had over 1000 hideouts. All over"

Fuck.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door making Jacqueline jump.
"What?"

The door opened and I saw Christopher.
"I got something"
He said.
Well about fucking time.

"Wait here. I'll be back"
I said to Jaqueline before following Christopher.

He led the way and We entered, what was Dimitri's 'old' computer room. Asshole.

"What did you find?"
I asked sitting down.

"well for starters when he left Puerto Rico 2 years ago he moved here and lived in a small town called 'Thorpes', which isn't far from here. He has no siblings, however his mother's profile is private. There's no record on her death what so ever"

"if we go to Thorpe's, it won't be hard to find because it's a small town. Her name is issabella martinez, we can ask locals around. But one thing I don't get is why is her profile private?Only hacking can get that Done, or gangs. Or even Mafia's.

Sanchez is good at keeping secrets"

We planned a day to go to Thorpe's the next day, but I still need to find out where Sanchez is and maybe Dimitri would know since he was going behind my back to them.

I went inside the room was he was in but instantly stopped.
There he was with bruises all over.
His food thrown into the wall.

He was pressed against the wall as if he was struggling.
And in pain

"Who the fuck did this?"
I asked rushing forward and crouching down to him.

"Doesn't matter"
He said with a raspy voice.

"Dimitri-"

"Doesn't. Fucking. Matter"
He repeated.
I didn't give anyone the order to hurt him.

"You know your too soft for a leader"
Dimitri said.
I stood up and peered down at him.

"Stop trying to find ways to hurt me. Because it won't work"

He only closed his eyes and i cut the ropes that were still around his arms.
He slowly forced himself up and then looked at me.

But in seconds he grabbed my neck and pushed me back until my back hit the wall
His hands didn't squeeze or hurt me in anyway.

I didn't move nor react.
Just stared him in the eyes.

"I could kill you right now"
He whispered.

"So could I"

"So why won't you. Huh? After everything?!"
He yelled.

I was getting tired of his shit.
I gripped his hands before kneeing him in the stomach.
He was already weak and he let go falling to the floor.

"I do not wish to hurt you. But if you waste my time I will"

Walking to the chair I sat down and waited for him to calm down

"I want to ask some questions"

"What makes you think I'll tell yo-"
"Are you forgetting that I know where your sister is 24/7"
I asked as the words died in his throat.

"If you answer me with honesty, I swear to you, I will do everything to keep her safe and never let her get hurt"

He slowly nodded.

"Where would Hunter keep Sanchez?"
Dimitri looked up at me and shrugged.

"The main hideout he had was destroyed over a month ago. So he switched to another one. But only him and his most trusted man knows the location"
He said and I rolled my eyes

Great..

"Did you know about the book?"
That was a question that just came to my head..since this Book is suddenly so important.

He again nodded and i bit down on my tongue controlling my anger.

Well I guess that's all I can really ask for.
I got up and so did Dimitri.

"What are you going to do with me?"
He asked.

"Let you leave. Go live a normal life.."
I said wishing it was me who could do that.
He only looked down.
Guilt had consumed him.

Over the day he thought about how jealously fuelled him up.
To ruin his life.

"You can have a shower, freshen up and Ace will guide you from there"

I opened the door and was about to step out until he called my name.

Turning around I met his soft eyes.

"Thank you.."
He mumbled lowly.

"Like you said..I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you"
