Everybody was busy down stair to notice me but before I came up stair, I ask one of the maids where was Mr. Thompson and apparently, he took his wife in a boot ride and they weren't coming back until later at night. It was perfect Monica was distracting Daniel, and everybody else was at the beach.

I started walking up the stair, still been cautious of my surrounding. I can't be seen by anybody it will raise suspicion. I got to the office and I had to admit that my heart was raising as I open the door.

The room was all wooden from the chairs to the shelves, it has beautiful high windows, thank God for the curtains.

"I need to do this fast"

I walk to the desk and quickly open the drawers, some were full of materials like book, notebooks and pencils other just had a lot of paper bills. When I got to the last drawer it was lock.

"Damn it" I cursed "What am I supposed to do now?"

I started to look around for a key, I check everything from the shelves to even the pillow, but I had no luck.

Suddenly I heard the door from the office open, I was glad I was on my knees so whoever came in couldn't see me. Now I was panicking I couldn't allow for someone to see me, if they did no one would trust me.

There were no sound, I count here anything, no footsteps no rumbling no nothing. I started to look up to see if I could see who it was but as I look there were no signs of someone there.

"maybe it was the maid"

I stood up clean the dirt of the floor of me

"What are you doing here?"

I couldn't help but jump a little by the sudden sound, I quickly turn around scare to death. All of my nerves slip away as I saw who it was.

"Luis what are you doing here, you scared me to death"

"Well, I say you entering the office, where you shouldn't be. What if someone else caught you?"

"No one was going to notice everybody is too distract with the party,

"What are you looking for?"

That question made me wonder if Luis knew everything, Peter never told me to trust Luis or anything.

"Let me clarify, I know everything that is why Mr. Peterson hire me. Now answer the question what are you looking for?"

"I hear Mr. Thompson talking last night about what happen 5 years ago, he admitted that his youngest did it. I heard him" I said desperately "he had this document that he put on the drawer and I assume that is the one on the bottom, the one that is lock"

"Of course, is going to be lock" Luis walk to the direction of the drawer and took some shark needles form his pocket. He started to do something to drawer when suddenly it made a click sound.

The drawer open "You did it!" I said exactly.

I practically push Luis away, but I couldn't help it, I was anxious to see what the document said. There where plenty of checks and blueprints but there wasn't anything else. I drew the document frustrated

"I heard him put them in a drawer it must be here" I started to paise thinking of where they could have put them. My hair must be a mess by how many times I pull it back.

"Maybe you got confuse..." tried to say Luis

"NO" I said it a little too high, I took a deep breath to calm myself "he must have put it somewhere else before he left this morning. He must have been scared of Mathew taking them"
