Chapter 67: How To Get Away With Murder

Tuesday, January 5

The perfect crime. How to get away with murder.

Step 1. Murder the target

Step 2. Don't get caught

The end.

That was the plan of Mr. Roland Baudelaire and Mrs. Kelly Baudelaire. Haven't heard of them yet?

Recalling the people that shot A.V. and Dove in the El Royale those years ago, well now you finally have a name to put on the face.

They had a lot against the Hartford's A.V and Dove. They were apart of the drug rings that went down at the El Royale.

They were sold short on drugs, that was how the Baudelaire's made a living. They sold them short and then Roland wanted revenge.

Or in his own words.

"I wanted A.V.'s fucking head on a platter and served to me." Roland griped.

Kate read from the files she had been skimming through in the kitchen of Amelia and Link's house.

"Hey whatcha got there." Amelia chirped happily.

"Oh um just some work shit." Kate bluffed.

"I've always wanted to see what you do let me see." Amelia asked.

"NO." Kate jumped.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It's just I'm supposed to have these because they aren't work. It's El Royale stuff that never got finished." Kate admitted.

"Well what is it?" Amelia asked suddenly concerned remembering the history, grief, debts and grudges the El Royale held.

"Don't tell Atty I have it, he will END me." Kate said.

"Okay I swear just show me." Amelia demanded.

-

"It's an unfinished undocumented police report of the people that shot Atty's parents in front of him." Kate admitted.

"Holy shit who are they?" Amelia asked.

"Kelly and Roland Baudelaire. Notorious drug sellers and I would bet my life were in cahoots with the mafia." Kate shuttered.

"Are they still out there?" Amelia panicked.

"God no Kelly died a while ago. But their kids had kids a little bit ago about the age of Bella and Addie right now." Kate said.

"Who are their kids?" Amelia questioned.

"Valerie and Tony." Kate said.

"They both got married and had kids- Lucas and Claire. Then Paige and Saunders." Kate shrugged.

"They aren't the danger. Their parents and grandparents are." Kate said.

"Are we in danger?" Amelia asked hesitant.

"You? No they don't know you exist same for Bella and Addie. But me and Atty? Fuck yeah. They actually find us, we are beyond dead because grudges in families in the mafia last forever. Especially when your parents ran as a corrupt place as the El Royale like Dove and A.V. did." Kate said in almost a whisper.

They had no idea how fucked they were........

-

"What the hell Val!?" A dark black haired man yelled slamming his fist on the table.

Tony Baudelaire. Son of Kelly and Roland Baudelaire.

"Shut the fuck up Tiny Ass Tony, I'm going to find that damn Kate Miller if it kills me." A dark black haired woman griped back.

Valerie. Val Baudelaire. Daughter of Kelly and Roland Baudelaire.

"We have to figure out where the fuck they went or else our asses are so dead from dad." Tony yelled again.

"Dad isn't gonna find out we lost track of them because we are gonna-" Val said.

"What?" Tony said running over.

"Got them. Kate is still residing in Brooklyn. 190 South 1st Street. We've got her." Val said with evil looming in her voice.

"What about Lincoln." Tony added.

"Got him too, Seattle, Washington. Owns Lincoln Enterprise and Holdings. Address is 531 Blue Ridge. That's the country club. I know exactly where he is." Val said with pride.

"What are we waiting for? Lets go get them." Tony said.

"Get the bags I'll tell Father." Val said pushing her chair out.

"We got them Father." Val said.

"Do you now?" Roland asked evilly.

"We do, they aren't ready for what's coming." Val smirked.

"A flight from Russia is far to your destination wherever it may be." Roland said with a thick accent.

"I know Father." Val said.

"But believe us, we have them now. And we are going to finish what you and Mother started." Val reassured.

"Make me proud and do my will be done." Roland said before shooing Val off.

-

"So what do we do with the files?" Amelia asked.

"We put them back in the safe I found them in and never tell Atty we know." Kate said shutting the envelope.

"Well every time I think I'm done with the history lessons I learn more and more." Amelia sighed.

"Welcome to loving Atticus Lincoln. He has a long fucked up history. That keeps on coming." Kate shrugged.

"God I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I met you all." Amelia laughed.

"Oh you sure didn't." Kate giggled.

-

"Are you ready Tony?" Val asked as the plane took off.

"Of course, I've been waiting for this." Tony said with an evil grin.

"It's time to even the playing field." Val cackled.

To: Atticus Lincoln in Seattle, Washington.
To: Kate Miller in Brooklyn, New York.

From: Valerie and Tony Baudelaire in St. Petersburg, Russia.

-WITH HATE.
