Zayn and Bloom got an appointment with Mr. Grayson the next day. He looked impressed when they entered his office, he gestured for them to take a seat.
"I cleared my schedule for the day immediately I got your message." Mr. Grayson said, sitting up with a big smile.
"So, what did you find?" Mr. Grayson asked like a child waiting for his Christmas present.
"I have everything stored in my flash drive and my laptop." Zayn told him.
"I hope it has everything we need, convincing evidence?" Mr. Grayson inquired.
"Yes, we stayed up all night going through it. You were right, he got Damian killed."
Bloom said and looked down at her hands, trying to keep her tears at bay. She forced a smile and looked away from her clenched hands.
"There were a lot of foreign deals in his email, we didn't really understand what it meant," Zayn said.
"You have done a great job. This means a lot to this organization and you will be compensated." The vice president said in a happy tone that made him look ridiculous.
"Where is the flash drive?" Mr. Grayson asked.
"I have it but I can only give it to you if you make me a promise; a promise you will honor for the rest of your life," Zayn said.
Mr. Grayson didn't look happy hearing that, he sat back in his seat with a scowl.
"What are you talking about? I thought the plan was to give him the flash drive." Bloom whispered to Zayn but he didn't say anything to her.
"Okay, kiddo. What do you want?" Mr. Grayson asked.
"I need you to promise me that after this whole shit goes down, you will keep Bloom safe. I know after everyone learns the truth about her father, she might be in danger, and the people she considers family are gone. I might not always be there to protect her, so I want you to promise to watch over her when I fail to be there for her."
Zayn said earnestly.
"Zayn, I can take care of myself," Bloom said facing him.
"I know, but my protection might not be enough. I will do my best to keep you safe and asking for extra help seems like a good idea." He said softly, taking her hand.
"You're scaring me with the whole speech, is everything okay?"
Bloom asked looking him in the eyes as if it would make her understand the depth of his words.
"Yes," He said with a small smile.
Mr. Grayson cleared his throat to get their attention.
"Okay, Zayn. I promise to take good care of Bloom, and not because you asked. I owe her more than that and she is now my responsibility."
"Okay, I'm right here and I don't need you taking the burden to watch over me. In a few days, I will be turning Eighteen and be free from my Dad's clutches." Bloom said slightly annoyed.
"You promise with your heart crossed?"
Zayn asked, ignoring what she said.
"You have my word." Mr. Grayson smiled.
Zayn took the flash drive out of his front pocket and gave it to him.
"Thank you," Mr. Grayson said holding the flash drive with a firm grip.
"So now what?" Bloom asked with her arms crossed.
"I will send this to the Congress as a whistleblower. Once it's released, we'll focus on the next plan which involves you. Your father won't even see it coming." Mr. Grayson said and laughed.
