In The Name Of Trouble

Chapter 10

There's something different about the way she was acting. I found it odd, she was so jittery and it looked as though she wanted to get away from me. She didn't want me to hear her voice.

That's weird. I dialed the number she gave me. It wasn't connecting. Kept saying that it was switched off. Suddenly an idea struck me.

I went back to the cafe. Our tables were about to be cleaned. I stopped the guy and asked him if he touched her glass. He replied he didn't I took a tissue from my pocket and lifted the glass. I paid the server for the glass and walked away.

I went to Headquarters.

"Jersey." I called out to the head of the biometric department "Check the fingerprints on this cup and check if it matches the one I gave you earlier."

He was the only one there. Everyone else went home.

"Don't wanna go home to see Rosette?"

"She and I are kinda having a complicated relationship now Thomas."

"Oh, sorry"

"It doesn't matter." He continued to do the check.

"Thomas?"

"Ya?"

"The fingerprints, they match."

I got you now Cash. But she looked so innocent. Wow she was right under my nose.
............

I went back home, content with what I did. The weight of the jewellery is same, he'll never know the difference. But I already know that I'm playing with fire on this one. Just another week and I'll leave the country, safe and sound.

Just one week.
............

"Where could she have gone?" I went back to the cafe where the CCTV camera had captured her. I took a printout but I knew that was not the real her, there was dye, makeup and she had her hand over her mouth the entire time. But I got a decent picture of her whole face.
..............

"Show me what my baby has sent me." I ordered

They opened the bag and took out the jewellery and handed it to me. I examined it, lifted it, it was heavy. I checked in the weight machine. Its real. All I have to do is sell it and I'm set for life.

I called the broker up. He took the jewellery, did some checks with a magnifying glass.

"Don't bother, I checked it."

"Sir, where did you get such jewellery?"

"Why?"

"They cheated you sir, its fake."

I felt my blood boiling. How did she cheat me? After all I've done for her. I could feel my grip on the gun tighten.

"Sir if I-"

BANG!!!

I inserted some bullets in his skull. Cash knows better than to mess with me. I thought I disciplined her. She didnt learn anything?

"Boys, we have to find Cash."

And once I do, she's gonna regret having met me.
