What I Never Told You

Chapter 27: Zillah.

"I thought we were going to the warehouse?"

I open the door and look at Cyril, "You are... I have to make sure he isn't here."

"You can't just go in alone."

I smirk, "Watch me."

I shut the door and pull out my gun as I run off towards the house. I only stop so I can pull my hair up and make sure I look like what it did when I took the case. I make sure the coast is clear before running to the door. I frown and make my way around the house, looking for the wall that was falling apart the last time I was here. When I find it I put my gun in its holster and get ready to climb the wall.

"You know... You could have just gone through the door."

I look back to see Madison with her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath, "What are you doing here?"

"Making sure you have help... Plus... We can do the switch to confuse him."

I sigh, "He would be waiting for me to enter the door..."

She comes over, "I hate climbing."

I smile as I start to climb up, showing Madison where to go. When I get to the balcony I get over and reach down, helping her up the rest of the way before pulling out my gun and going to the door. I wait for her to be ready before opening the door and going in. Looking around the room makes me shiver, it hasn't changed. Not one bit. I get to the door and wait for Madison.

"Wasn't this just after my death?"

"Yes."

She nods, "So... You took Jamie as your own kid?"

I shrug my shoulders, "Wasn't hard... Sophie said she would help out and she did. He has my green eyes and dark hair."

"So you-"

"No. They adopted him, I can't take him back after all this time."

She stares at me, "So you-"

"Not the time."

Before she can say another word I open the door and lead her down the hall. Making sure no one is there, getting to his office. I show her a way in, that way she can get in unnoticed. I walk in and sit in his chair, turning it around so he won't see me when he walks in. When the door opens I smile and turn around in the chair.

I look at him, "You are a lot fatter than I remember."

He waves the others away and they walk out, "You look more alive than the last time I saw you."

I glance at my nails, "You shouldn't be so surprised... You did call me after all."

"But I wasn't expecting you to get here tonight."

I stand up, "You do have someone I want back."

He walks over to a table, turning his back to me, "Drink?"

"No."

He turns around with a glass in his hand, "He is our son."

I frown, "No. He isn't."

He takes a sip, "I know... I looked into that more."

I watch him for a moment, "Then why do all of this?"

"I want what I had back."

I clench my fists, "Not happening. It was just a job, a way for me to get money."

I watch rage flicker across his face, getting closer, "But you-"

I laugh, "If you trusted me then you are a fool. So, where is he?"
