Chapter 22 - Plot Twist?

"I wonder why the men that tried to attack me in the washroom carried weapons that were manufactured under the Dean's label" Lilly seriously uttered before taking her friends offguard.

Honey and Kunny instantly stood up with their mouth agape, shock written all over their face. It was like they forgot to breathe.

"What are you talking about? Are you sure that the weapons are from the Dean's company?" Honey doubtfully questioned because she couldn't digest the words that her best friend just stated.

Lilly slowly nodded at her friends remembering each and everything about the attackers. "I myself couldn't believe it at first so I examined if the gun had Dean company's logo over it but couldn't find any and my mind was entirely sceptical about the weapons being just plain with no particular marks of identification"

"Then how can you precisely say that it was manufactured under the Dean's label?" Kunny questioned while frowning.

"To clear my suspicions, I compared this unlabeled gun's design with the Dean's model weapons and guess what? ... It was a perfect match ... I also researched if incase any other arms companies had same type of weapon design like these but nope I didn't find any of the same type" Lilly arced brows trying to hint her friends the obvious conclusion.

Honey was in a complete dilemma "How come the weapons have no logo or any other identification marks on it? Is that even legal?"

"Isn't it obvious? They are definately using it for illegal purpose.The weapons are being supplied to them before they could even print the indentifaction marks or number on it, inorder to avoid getting caught!" Lilly stated while seriously eyeing her friends.

While Lilly was disturbed about all these tiny details, kunny wasn't on the same page as her "Does that mean you stole a gun from those attackers to research about it?" Being a loyal officer She was doing her duty.

Lilly's eyes rolled back in annoyance, already knowing where this would go while Honey stayed quite knowing how tensed the atmosphere was.

"I had to do it!"

"Since you already researched about it you must hand over the weapon to our department for investigation!"

"NOPE! I still need it!"

Kunny scowled "But you'll get int-" she was cut off as her phone rang. She sighed and picked up the call.

"Hello ... WHAT? ... REALLY?...send it to me right now! Be quick!" Kunny ended the call and looked at her friends who were now staring back at her, eagerly waiting for her to explain the situation.

"Somebody's DNA was found on Tony's body, looks like they already found the match for it" Kunny spoke with uneven breaths while grabbing her laptop and typed in a hurry.

"Are they going to send you the suspect details?" Honey questioned.

"Yeah!" Kunny was busy typing while Lilly and Honey sat on the couch with curious faces.

Soon th laptop's screen lit up with a picture of a man who looked like he was in his mid twenty's. Honey twitched her eyebrows trying to remember about where she had seen this guy before while extreme shock was written all over Lilly's face, already registering who the man was she gasped "John?".

"Do you know him?" Both Kunny and Honey simultaneously questioned.

"H-He is my co-worker at the Dean's company! He is a good friend of mine b-but ... Why would he do that?" Lilly whispered her last words because she couldn't believe about what was going on.

"Can't trust anybody Lilly! Society is full of masked devils!" Her friends tried to comfort her.

Lilly shook her head in response with blurry thoughts.

...

Lilly was working at the Library but it wasn't peaceful like every other day. Her mind was full of unwanted thoughts, assumptions and accusations which are enough to destroy one's mental health.

She still couldn't take in the fact about John being involved in the crime. She even talked to him about random things in the morning, his aura felt normal and brought no suspicions . He wasn't arrested yet because kunny said he will be taken once the solid proof is ready. Even John wasn't aware of those things yet .

*I always stay quite when I do .. not so peaceful things .. I already ended those bastard's chapters* Jordan's words repeated in her mind for the n'th time.

*Does Jordan have something to do with Tony's death? Or about the attackers? Does he have any connection with them? If yes then was as he performing illegal activities?* She had mixed feelings about everything. She rubbed her forehead due to headache that was slowly growing.

"Are you not feeling well Ms.Gorgeous" Nick asked resting his hands on her desk before leaning towards her a little.

A smile made into her face as soon as she heard his voice, not because she had something for him but he always had a friendly vibe and he sure had a capacity to cure her headache just by his words.

"Oh you're here already? No, I'm good lts Just a headache!"

"So can I be your medicine again?" He asked while smiling like an idiot.

"Sure, sir!" She giggled.

"Then lets hangout at my house" he declared.

"But-" before she could even reply Nick grabbed her stuff, held her wrist and dragged her out not letting her speak any further. Lilly just chuckled out of defeat and followed him.

...

"Make yourself comfortable. I live alone for most of the time so its good to have you here now" Nick stated while guiding Lilly into his huge luxurious mansion.

Lilly was amazed to see the mindblowing paintings on the walls. As she was admiring her eyes stopped and fixed on a photo frame that was hanging on the wall. It was a picture of an old man. She definitely saw him somewhere before and tried to bring back her memories.

"Oh! That's my father! Come, have a seat" Nick offered her. Lilly just nodded and sat on the couch.

"What's your father?" She carefully asked hoping that if she get to know his profession, then maybe she'll remember where she had seen him.

"I Don't exactly know but he is never home. You can call him a business man I guess " Nick said.

Hearing the word businessman, it hit her. She saw him at a business party back then when she was Jay's girlfriend. Jay always had secret meetings with this man.

"So what do you want for drink?"

"Anything is fine" she smiled back.

"Will be right back! You can have a tour around here if you get bored!" Nick suggested and walked away.

Eventually she walked around a little while admiring every piece of art on the wall. Looks like the family was into paintings. There were many, like many! She was somewhere lost in that huge building while she was busy admiring the paintings and didn't even notice where she was going.

As she was looking at the paintings she noticed that a painting was hanged cross so Lilly tried to move it a little to make it straight. It made click sound while she moved it making her brows forrow in confusion. Out of curiosity she slowly lifted the painting a little and was surprised to find a metal door beneath.

She looked around and made sure that nobody was coming that way. She slowly opened the metal door lock using her hair pin. The instant moment the door was completely opened, her breath hitched.

She was shocked to see what was infront of her. Her eyes and mouth opened wide as the tiny droplets of sweat made its way onto her forehead.

In that locker laid many guns that looked exactly like the one that she stole from one of those attackers from the party.

...

Jordan had reached home after his work, got out of his car and was walking towards his door but soon stopped mid in his tracks after he heard a random lady's voice.

Jordan's bodyguard's were holding a women, preventing her from going anyway near Jordan.

"Leave me! I need to talk to Mr.Jordan l. Its important" she kept yelling at those guards that were gripping her tight. "Leave me!" She yelled again.

"Let her in!" Jordan ordered his men. As soon as she was freed she ran to Jordan.

"Mr.Jordan I need to tell you something very important. Listen to me, you need to be careful with your gir- *Gunshots* AAAAAH - she fell onto the ground holding her right leg, where the bullet had hit her.

The guards rushed to Jordan, dragged him inside to avoid any further bullets that may hit him while the other guards helped the lady out and some searched for the shooter but failed to find any since it was completely dark already!

"OH MY GOD! What happened? Get the car! We'll take her to the hospital!" Lilly rushed inside the gate, sprinting towards the lady and ordered the guards to bring the car.

The guards thought Lilly was inside the house but seeing her coming from outside got them confused. They shrugged it anyway and soon arranged the car and brought the injured lady, and carefully placed her in the backseat.

Lilly got into the car with kunny while the lady in the backseat was moaning with pain. The gaurds offered to come to hospital but Lilly opposed and stopped them. She quickly drove the car off.

...

"ARE YOU CRAZY?! Why the HELL did you shoot her Lilly?" Kunny was fuming with anger as she asked Lilly who was now calmly driving as if it was nothing.

Lilly just smirked while pushing back her hair not forgetting to take a glance at the woman in the backseat through her car's mirror and adjusting it a little.

"I WON'T let anybody to get in MY WAY!"
