Ag's pov:

Roberto is a wealthy fellow. He lives in Wausau,Wisconsin in a modern home. Tonight he was throwing a party for his 37th birthday around 6pm to 2am. He is quite the parting type. All of his parties were big hits. One of his weaknesses is that he loves alcohol. Loads of it. Every 3 days he would go to the liquor store to get some. His family sent him to rehab for it twice now but he's still not clean. I guess this time he'll get over his addiction, if he'll get that chance again after we visit, that is. Earlier today we went shopping for some new clothing since we didn't have disguises and we don't to get caught. The party was a formal one with the theme being black and white. It was currently 5:55 when we arrived at the house and it was already pack. Did he really just invite the entire neighborhood? The house was pretty big but not as huge as the guy's home in Florida.

(again, I got lazy with the description of the house so here it is. From now on I'm just gonna insert images so you know what to visualize.)

I stepped out of the car with black sunglasses on in a short -sleeved button up black shirt, light grey formal chinos with a black belt around my waist along with Emmi in a short black dress and a purse to compliment her outfit with Julia in a short white dress with a choker around her neck by my side. There was no security so we just walt's right in.
There were waiters going left and right with trays of drinks in one of their hands while the other guides them through the crowd. I took off my sunglasses as I scanned the room looking for our victim.

" I think it's best we split up. If one of us find him text the others. Each person has their own bottle anyways so just do it and meet each other back at the car." Emmi suggested.

We followed Emmi's plan and went on to search for Roberto. 30 minutes went by and I got a text from Julia. I guess she found him first.

Julia's pov:

After 30 minutes of searching for this man I found him laughing his ass off with 2 other people at the mini bar. Why wasn't this the first place I looked? He seemed like he was already drunk. He had on a white tux jacket over his black long-sleeved button up shirt and white pants with a rolex on his right wrist. I walked up to the bar and ordered a drink hoping to catch his attention. He looked over at me watching me order my drink.

" You seem underage to be drinking." he pointed out.

" I get that all the time but I'm not"

"yeah ok. Anyways, I don't recognize you at all. Did you just move here or something?"

"No actually, my friend invited me here. She talked about how much of a cool person you were and I needed to come here since your parties are always fun." I explained.

"No way you know Cecilia?"

I didn't know who that was but I nodded in response. We talked for a while with the rest of the people he was around. It was getting dark I needed to do my task soon. I ordered 2 glasses of wine, a woman in a black dress came up to us and started chatting with Roberto. Now's my chance. I quickly took out the poison bottle and poured it into his drink. They finished up talking and he turned back to me. We took a sip out of our drinks while continuing our conversation.

" This wine is good where'd you get it." I exaggerated.

He smirked at my words and started getting cocky.

"Well since you asked, I got this as a gift from my cousin in Italy. Her wine garden is something else I swear." Roberto chuckled.

Men are so full of themselves. I pointed to a bottle of whiskey on the shelf and asked him about it.

"Yeah that one's my favorite. I could give it to you as a gift if you want." Roberto hinted.

"that would be great actually."

Roberto signaled the bar tender for the bottle and handed it to me. We talked some more but I decided it was time to leave. Ag and Emmi waited long enough for me. I waved goodbye and went back to the front entrance. I pulled out my phone to text them.

Roadtrip buddies

Guys where are you? I don't see you anywhere.

A: took you long enough. We've been waiting for you for the past 2 hours. Was the conversation that good that you completely forgot why we're here in the first place?

E: Jesus Julia it took you that long? Where are you anyways?

I'm at the door waiting for you guys.

A:ok I'm coming.

E: ^

Ag and Emmi came down the stairs and we got back in the car. Emmi was driving with while ag and I are in the the back arguing.

"Don't take that long next time or you could blow our cover. Did you not watch the James Bond movie?" Ag lectured.

" You watch one movie about a spy and all of a sudden you're one? Please." I scoffed.

"Did you at least get our proof?"

"Obviously. I put it in one of my bags in the truck. I'm not stupid."

"yeah sure, says the person who got us into this mess in the first place. If your dumbass didn't insist on her going on the walk after she literally told you about the text she got, she would've been home in my arms right now and none of this would've happened." she shot back.

"Uh guys-"Emmi chimed in

My jaw dropped. I know this bitch did not just- oh hell no. I was furious.

"I know you did not just pinned the blame on me as to why Anna went missing."

"guys please-"

"I did. What are you gonna do about it?" she fired back.

"guys-"

"HOW IS IT MY FAULT WHEN YOU'RE THE REASON WHY SHE WANTED TO GO ON A WALK IN THE FUCKING FIRST PLACE! YOU'RE THE REASON WHY SHE'S GONE! ALL BECAUSE SHE  KISSED A GUY WHILE DRUNK. SHE LOVED YOU MAN, LIKE A LOT. SHE WAS REALLY HURT BY YOUR WORDS THAT NIGHT. NOW THANKS TO YOU, WE MIGHT NEVER SEE HER AGAIN. I HATE YOU SO MUCH. I WISHED SHE NEVER MET YOU. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT HER AND BE THERE FOR HER LIKE YOU PROMISED ME AND EMMI. I TRUSTED YOU TO TAKE CARE OF HER AND YOU FUCKED UP JUST LIKE THE REST OF HER EXES BUT EVEN WORSE."

Ag went silent as she looked at me with a mixture of pain, regret and tears in her eyes. Oh shit I went too far.

"GUYS PLEASE STOP ARGUING. this is childish, instead of blaming each other for her disappearance how about we put our heads together and look for her? Damn. Anyways who's next?" Emmi asked, trying to get us to stop bickering.

I pulled out the photos and flipped through them.

" Matthew Peterson."

Ag turned her body towards the window with tears streaming down her face. The car was now silent as we headed to our next stop.
