Waiting in the car, Kenneth checked the number of text message he got earlier. Surprisingly, he actually recognizes the number. "Found 'em." Margot said, opening the car door. "I got something to tell you." Kenneth said, sounding a bit sad. "What is it?" A short pause arose.
"Don't tell me we're not going to Mercia's." Margot said sarcastically. "Isn't this your new phone number?" Kenneth said while showing the number on his phone.
"Uh… yeah? Where are you going with this?" Margot said confused and concerned. "Then why did you text me, this text message." Kenneth said while showing the text message he received.
"You're kidding right? I haven't even texted anyone with the new phone number yet."
"You have proof of that?"
"Yeah I do." Margot then pulled out her phone from her back pocket then opened the passcode.
"Here, you can check the messages yourself." Margot said, handing her phone to Kenneth. Kenneth then grabbed Margot's phone from her. He then started to look through her apps until he found the messages app.
As Kenneth was looking at her messaging app, the first thing Kenneth saw was his name, and the text message he received earlier.
"You said you haven't texted anyone from your new phone number right?" Kenneth said while looking at Margot's phone. "Yeah dude."
"Then what do you call this?" Kenneth said while showing Margot's phone. "Care to explain?" Margot just sat there at the passenger's seat, staring at her phone from Kenneth's hand.
"Did you download some app to do that?" Margot said, really confused. "You're the one who texted me." Kenneth said annoyed then gave back Margot's phone.
"I never even texted anyone… How could that be possible?"
"Maybe it got hacked?"
"Maybe…" They both concluded and drove to the other side of LA to meet Joshua.

After hours of driving, the two finally got to Joshua's Hotel. "This is the place?" Margot asked looking out the car window.
Both of them got out of the car and walked inside the hotel. "I'll go let them know we're here. Just stay here in the lobby."
Kenneth left Margot at the hotel lobby, and went to the reception area. "Hey, could you please let Joshua know that I'm here?" Kenneth asked the receptionist with his charming voice. "Name please?" The receptionist said looking up at Kenneth. "Kenneth Presley, and please tell him that we will wait in the hotel lobby."
"Alright sir." Then Kennethh went back to the lobby.
"Are they coming?" Margot said with a boredom tone. "I just let them know, I don't want to be rude and just barge in their penthouse." Kenneth said, sounding a bit irritated.

After waiting for about 3-4 hours in the hotel lobby, Margarette just paced around the lobby to kill boredom. "Ok how long is this going to take!?" Margot said with a bit of an anger and irritated tone.
Kenneth stood up and went back to the reception area, but this time going to the elevator. Kenneth pressed the top floor button to the penthouse.
Ding. The elevator chimed. "LET ME OUT OF HERE!" A female angry voice demanded from the penthouse living room.
Kenneth made his way to the living room and took a peek.
"You can't though!" A male voice replied. "I KNOW ABOUT YOUR HUMAN TRAFFICKING WORK!" The female voice said, struggling to get out of the purple haired guy's grasp.
Then the red headed guy loaded his gun, and pointed it at the girl. "YOU BETTER SHUT UP AND GET IN THE DAMN ROOM." Demanded the red head.
"You're going to shoot me, big guy?" Then the girl let out a little chuckle. "I dare you red head." The girl said, looking right into the guy's eyes, not even flinching.
"F*ck it." Said the red head, and he threw his gun to the sofa.
In a swift motion, the girl bit the purple haired guy on the arm. The purple haired guy let go of the girl because of the pain, then the girl took the gun on the sofa and pointed it both at the two guys.
"Don't move, or I will shoot." The girl threatens as she slowly retreats to the living room exit.
Then, chuchak, a black haired guy with a gunshot wound on his shoulder, pointed the gun on the girl's head.
"I won't hesitate this time." The black haired guy said.
"Thought you would sit there and cry about your wound, b*tch." The girl said with no hesitation.
The black haired guy was so furious his face almost turned red, then BANG, the guy shot the living room wall and the girl jumped a bit because of the loud gunshot.
*Clap, clap, clap* "What a great performance. I should've grabbed popcorn on the way up here." Kenneth said, chuckling to himself. The black haired guy signalled the purple and red headed guy's to bring her back to the secret room she was in before.
As the two men dragged the girl back to a room, Kenneth walked over to the black haired guy. "Now what was that about Mercia?" Kenneth asked curiously to Joshua. "We just had a problem." Joshua said, sounding calm, like nothing happened.
"What are you doing here? You didn't even tell me you're coming." Joshua said, holding onto his gunshot wound to stop it from bleeding. Kenneth spotted the first aid kit on the couch. "Well, I asked the receptionist to tell you I came." Kenneth said grabbing the first aid kit to give to Joshua. "Obviously she didn't." Kenneth said chuckling to himself "Might as well fire the girl." Joshua said, taking the aid kit from Kenneth.
"Who was that chic?" Kenneth asked as Joshua patched up his bullet wound. "No one important." Joshua said firmly. "Seemed important as she was technically screaming to leave the damn penthouse." Kenneth said apathetically, trying to make Joshua tell him more about the girl.
"You haven't answered my question Presley." Joshua said changing the topic. Kenneth finally gave up on the girl's situation. "I have some questions that need to be answered,"
"Then ask away." Joshua said, sitting down on the couch. "One of my men delivered some firearms to you right?" Kenneth asked quite firmly while staring down onto his soul. "Yeah, but it was like, I don't know 4… 3 years ago?"
"Nathan delivered it to you right?"
"He goes by the name of Tobako." Joshua said while being a tad bit confused on what Kenneth is implying. "It is Nathan alright." Kenneth confirmed to himself. "Sorry but I am really confused right now." Joshua said with an obnoxious tone. "Nathan is supposed to be dead Mercia!" Kenneth said unamused. "The explosion?" Joshua asked and Kenneth noded to confirm his question.
"He and a lot of my other men never made it out alive on that day. And I have a theory that Nathan might still be alive." Kenneth explained. "Damn… Your life's messed up." Joshua said jokingly. "F*ck you Mercia." Kenneth said unamused. "LET ME OUT!!!!!" The girl screamed again. "Damn b*tch always screaming." Joshua said annoyed. "Do you do human trafficking nowadays?" Kenneth asked curiously as he remembered what the girl said a while ago. "Where the f*ck did you get that idea?" Joshua said repulsively. "The f*cking girl said." Kenneth said now a bit confused.
Joshua chuckled to himself. "Technically she screamed it." Kenneth added, still a bit confused. "Feliz is already figuring out who the girl is, and no, I don't do human trafficking how dare you." Joshua jokingly said. "Then would you mind telling me why…" Kenneth said, grabbing Joshua's phone and going to his messages. "Why do you have 3 pictures of women on your phone?"
