Illiana's POV

"Damn it!" I muttered after slamming the washroom sink in anger.

Pepper shouldn't be free until Heather is kidnapped, that's the plan. I underestimated the power of her love towards Pepper. I thought it already wavered the last time they spoke.

"I'll just kill Veronica first" I said and about to head out when my phone rang. It's a private number so I assumed that it's Veronica.

"What?"

"Ave omnes Trias" I frowned upon recognizing Lee's voice.

"You're not allowed to say that word" I warned her but she just laughed at me.

"I am allowed to do or say anything that I want, this is a free country" she said afterwards which irritated me more. Only members of the Triad knows that phrase. "Don't kill Veronica yet"

"How the hell did you know that I am planning that?" I asked curtly.

"Well, I got the information that Heather already withdrew the case filed against Pepper. So I assumed that you're going to change your plan" She calmly explained.

"Pepper will be free in seven days"

"Good, because that's the same date that Heather will be kidnapped" I'm about to speak but she told me to let her finish. "They will bring her to Providence, you know that abandoned hospital right? I want you to be there before four pm"

"What about Pepper? She'll probably in the airport that time" She and her dog will be escorted by three police officers.

"I know, she'll be there with you in time" she sounded so sure so I didn't ask more.

"Okay" I said and about to end the call but she spoke again.

"Police will come in fifteen minutes after Pepper arrives, I hope that's enough time for you to kill both"

"Yes, that is more than enough" I said before finally ending the call.

I went back to my seat and smirked when I saw the photos of the people that the Triad and I killed on Sky's table. The list of Veronica's bank transaction is also there, I picked up afterwards the piece of paper that she scribbled on earlier.

"Slowly getting there Sky" I mused after reading it.

"Don't read things without the owner's permission" I heard her say from behind.

I ignored her and went back to my seat. I don't want to talk to her, I'm still annoyed at her because of what she said earlier in the firing range. She should be happy because I saved her ass in humiliation during the selection process.

"Sky" I glanced to the door when I heard Michael. He's with Nicole, she looks pretty on her black casual dress and five inch heels.

Sky immediately arranged the photos and papers on her desk before standing up. I can't read the expression on her face, but if I am to guess, she's not thrilled. I watched the both of them as they walk towards the empty room to talk.

"Are you free later? I'd like to invite you to dinner and watch a movie after" Michael sweetly said. Interrupting me from watching.

"Sure, what time?" I asked pretending to be excited about it.

"Is it fine if we go after work?" he suggested which I immediately agreed. "Do you have a specific movie in mind that you like to watch?"

"Hmmm, Gemini man" I said thoughtfully.

"Great, I'll book that now" he said before putting out his phone and started the process of booking online.

"So how's the investigation going with Julius Winston's murder?" I inquired after a moment.
