Deceived

A ghost followed me

Apov
You ever feel like you are being followed? The last week other than security I am being followed by someone I know I am, I feel it. The babies feel it as well. I keep looking around and nothing, it's like I feel them, but they aren't there. Christian thinks it's paranoia because of the latest events. While we were out shopping I picked up a small package with my name on it inside a boutique. When I asked the sales person about it, she said it was left there by an older woman wearing designer clothes and beautiful, her husband said she's going to get frightened by this and you know it.
Cpov
Okay I had Taylor and Barney head to the place Anastasia found the package with her name on it to check videos and see who was involved in it. When we got a good view of the people, it looked just like Anastasia's parents. Unfortunately I am unsure how to explain this to her. But we did open the package, but unsure what it means although I suspect Anastasia would know, but unsure.
Taylorpov
I think Anastasia should know, because this item in the package looks like a warning, convincing Christian is going to be a huge job. Finally Anastasia blows her stack and makes him open it up.
Apov
I peek inside at the item in the box and black out completely. When I come to I say you need to view the recording on the camera inside the bear please. We see it's one of those hidden cameras they used to use to catch bad people in action.
Cpov
We open it up and it's Anastasia sitting along with a friend on a sofa. As we watch the friend leaves and in walks her mom and dad and what happens next is bizarre beyond belief. We watch as it looks like her parents are murdered. Then we see who has done it and can't believe it. It looks like Taylor, but it can't be him. We keep watching then we see her parents walking around placing bodies exactly where they were prior to them getting up. Then Taylor is back in the picture. I call Taylor into my office and he looks like he's seen a ghost as well.
Taylorpov
I can't believe that clip, and the date is not right. I was in the hospital that date. I tell Grey to roll it back and he does. Then I see it, it's a mask looking like me, but if you look closely you see no facial movements at all. Someone used my face to create the mask and then sets me up as a murderer. But if you keep rolling it you can see the mask being removed and it's someone we least expected. I call and get him on the line and say, listen you need to get here immediately. Carrick arrives shortly he says okay show me what you have and I will tell you what I know. His face panics as he sees what looks like him under a mask of Taylor. Dad now would be a good time to tell the truth. He knows the truth is the only thing to tell right now.
Carrickpov
I show Taylor and Christian my receipt for several purchases made about the time I was supposedly at the scene of a murder. Finally they roll it further and the persons real face comes into view. It's a face from my past and it looks like a message is being sent to all of us. Christian shows me the note Anastasia got today and it's making sense. I tell Christian we need to check the walking stones on all the properties now.
Cpov
Carrick is pretty upset about this and the note upset him even more. I have Taylor get someone to check the stones on the walkways on our properties. It takes four hours and we have a small package for Anastasia. We x-ray it and it's jewelry and innocuous. I give Anastasia the package to open, the wrapping alone makes her cry. She opens it to find a sapphire and diamond ring in platinum. She sobs inconsolably, and places the ring on her right hand. Oh Christian they are alive, but they are in danger. Anastasia looks at me and says the stone you found this was there a message or a key taped nearby? I call Taylor, but he's in the room like a shot and hands the stone to Anastasia.
Apov
I look at the stone and see it has a small opening in back of it. I look and there is the key along with a place for it in the stone. In it I find photos of me very young and then letters and papers. Christian looks everything over and sees something odd in them. He makes a call and gives Taylor everything and says you know what to do and tell him to carry a gun. Christian is telling me that I need to work from Escala for the foreseeable future.
Cpov
I may have put Barney in a life and death situation, and it infuriates me her parents have put us in this situation. But they did take care of two huge dangers to us. But this threat could be worse. They indicate they are taking off on another assignment and to watch for enemies within. Okay now I need to find out who they mean. Barney calls me immediately and says, Stone Mr. Grey. We just hired him and I got suspicious of him, so I circumvented his access and monitored all his activities.
Barney pov
I call Grey immediately and let him know that his new it guy was acting strangely so I setup a trap for him. He thinks he's in our main servers. I set a mirror image up and sat monitoring his every keystroke. Today he opened files he's been blocked from, but got to them anyway. Like I said a mirror server with no real access at all. And the information looks real, but ability to access the real server is impossible. What he's looking for and doing is what I need to know. I leave for lunch and Grey calls me about stone and I tell him we hired a Stone this week. I give him the 411 and he says please get your gun from security now.
Stone pov
I am taking this company over, I finally am alone and complete my work on getting the files I need to gain access to every penny Grey has. I transfer everything while Barney is on lunch. I hear an alarm and suddenly I see the doors shut and the system goes down completely.
Taylorpov
Barney looks scared to death when he gets his gun, so I recommend we implement the emergency it lockdown for all departments. At this point the only access to the server is through security and Barney, I and Grey are the only ones with access to it. It is also locked up tight with no escaping from it.
Cpov
Have we got everything on him yet? Taylor nods and Barney says he was about to sign out after he finalized the last transaction he created. Barney says he's got every keystroke and every file he transferred recorded. I say let's call the cops now.
Barney pov
I hand the evidence to Grey and Taylor and they have arrested Stone. I have found out who and why he's after Grey. Apparently Anastasia attended school with him and he stalked her, and her parents caught him. She didn't know it, because they never told her about it. He was the one in the Taylor, Carrick masks. He just forgot all the cameras.
