Gabriella POV
I was confused. My mind was racing. Who would want them dead? It makes no sense.
I remembered my contact with Alex Wright on the streets. He looked scared. Why would he be? He had been working with us for so long.
I looked at the time. 6.30 pm.
"I guess I better go."
Warren had already left earlier. He had told me to text him when I reached back.
I sighed heavily before packing up ready to leave.
"Shit. I gotta drop these to Ben at his office."
I took the folder and went down to his office.
His office level was already empty. I would just place it on his assistant's desk.
I walked towards the desk when I saw Ben's office light was still on. I decided to pass it straight to him when I heard muffled conversations through the slightly ajar door.
Ben: The Feds came to ask shitload of questions. Of course I had to cover up with what we discussed. I heard from Nancy (the reception) that they went up to see Gabriella Sanders first.
Ben: Jack. We need to move the shipments. Now with Marcus and Wright dead, there bound to be more questions. We need to lay low for now Jack.
Jack?
I decided to move forward a bit more to hear clearly when my bag hit a bunch of folders sending them down to the floor.
Shit!
The door flung open and I saw Jack Tyler.
"Jack?"
Jack: Gabriella?
His surprised look turned to a sad smile.
Jack: Im sorry I had to do this.
I felt a sharp pain on my neck before the room spins and the darkness consumed me.

Zach POV
"John, have you prep everything that we need?"
John: Yes. All set.
"Ok lets move."
I was going for another stake out. We got a lead from the agency that they are moving their shipments tonight. Agency got the resources prep and ready to activate.
With the deaths of the 2 ex-employees, we believe they would be more eager to hide their tracks.
We set up the stake out at the building beside the warehouse. I had eyes on both the docks and the outskirts of the warehouse.
I went down to the warehouse to catch any actions.
"Ivory. Approaching enemy circle."
I spoke into my comms device with John.
John: Rider. Copy loud and clear. No movements detected. You may proceed.
"CCTV cameras spotted, over."
John: Tapping it now. And... now. All clear.
I climbled up the fence stealthily and peered into the warehouse. No movements. Just bunch of crates.
"Crates spotted. Im going in."
John: Wait. Oncoming vehicle, over.
I stayed in the shadows and peered through the bushes.
2 black SUVs approached and parked outside the warehouse.
"Ivory. Are you seeing this?"
"Positive. Capturing all images."
A few men came out of the SUVs.
I knew it.
Jack Tyler and Ben came into view as they exited the car. The man behind them was carrying something from the trunk.
No. He was carrying someone.
"Ivory. Are you getting this?"
John: Positive. Rider, the girl?
I was looking trying to make out the person being carried.
"Gabriella"
John: Rider. Stay on mission. Dont lose your head. You might kill her.
I was enraged. How dare they!
"Thats Gabriella. I need to save her."
John: We will. We need to stay on mission. You try to find out what do they want with her.
I climbed up unseen onto the side stairwell and found an opening where I can hide. I had full view of Gabriella who was being tied up onto a pole. She was unconscious.
I couldnt make out what Ben was saying to Jack in hushed tones but Jack dismissed it off. He sprayed some water onto Gabriella's face to wake her up.
Gabriella POV
Jack: Gabriella?
I opened my eyes, still groggy and saw a bunch of men looking down at me.
I jolted and struggled.
Jack: Easy Gabriella.
"Jack?"
I remembered the office. Ben talking to him and being injected with something before passing out.
"You. You did this to me."
Jack: Im sorry. I had to. You heard and know too much.
"Know what? I dont know anything."
Ben: She's lying! Jack I told you we should just finish her off.
Jack: NO!
He yelled at him making the rest faltered backwards before turning back to me.
Jack: Are you ok?
"You are asking me that while Im tied up?"
Jack: Im sorry Gabriella. You are not supposed to see or hear any of it. Especially after what you said to the Feds.
"You were behind the murder of Marcus and Wright?"
Jack: Thanks to you though. You brought my attention to their dismissal which I thought would create more problems for me later so I had to finish them.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"
Jack: Ya I should tell you the truth now. I am actually the chairman of the company.
