Chereads / The Devil Is Back / Chapter 7 - Chapter 6

Chapter 7 - Chapter 6

Joshua's eyes widened as he heard Kenneth's question. "You idiot!" Joshua said, grabbing back his phone from Kenneth. "Explain dude." Kenneth said, chuckling to himself. "Thank god you would let me explain first." Joshua exclaimed. Kenneth then crossed his arms and leaned on his back on the wall.

"You know the ring that was given to us by the government?" Joshua asked, facing Kenneth from a distance. "Yeah, somehow I still remember." Kenneth said, confused. "That ring was first stolen by Jeremiah Azdev…" Joshua said, trying to remember everything that happened. "Yeah, and?" Kenneth said impatiently. "It was stolen again, by someone we still don't know. Feliz said it could be either one of those girls but there's also another one by the name Zadira." Joshua explained.

"The name Zadira kinda sounded familiar to me…" Kenneth said, trying to think of someone who's name is Zadira. "Who is it?" Joshua asked calmly. "I don't know for sure but I do recognize that name…"

"Anyways, I have a favour to ask you…" Kenneth said firmly, changing the subject.

Back at the hotel lobby Margarette was furiously waiting for Kenneth. "Ugh! If this b*tch isn't here for one more second I am going up there, and see what's holding him." Margot said quietly to herself.

"F*ck that I'm going up there." Margot grabbed her purse and went to the elevator, then clicked the button to the highest floor. Ding the elevator chimed, as she got out of the elevator she hid her phone on her purse. "Would you agree... that I take 1 or 2 of your men with me for a year?" Margot heard a muffled voice in the penthouse living room, sounding like Kenneth.

She was mad and thought Kenneth just left her downstairs so she stormed onto the living room saying, "YOU THINK YOU COULD JUST F*CKING LEAVE ME DOWN THERE HUH?"

"WELL GUESS WHAT B*TCH, YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME THAT, easily…" Margot got the living and spotted a black haired hunk that was talking to Kenneth. "I'm in the middle of a conversation Margot." Kenneth said apathetically. Margot ended up staring at the guy, almost drooling over the sight of him.

"You f*cking wh*re." Kenneth said to himself. "Mercia?" Kenneth said firmly. "Wait, he's the Mercia guy?!" Margot said in shock. "You can take Connerman on the search, but make sure he still can work for me." Joshua said as he was trying to ignore Margot drooling over him. "Alright then, I'll text you when and where we're going to need him." Joshua left the room leaving Margot's mouth still open. "Yo, don't drool on the carpet." Kenneth jokingly said and left for the elevator. "Hey idiot wait for me!"

Both of them got into the elevator silently, Kenneth trying to think of something to repay Joshua for his help, while Margot can't stop thinking about Joshua. "What happened to him?" Margot broke the silence. "What do you mean?" Kenneth said, acting clueless.

"You know, a f*cking gunshot wound." Margot said. "Believe me I don't even know what's going on, but right now we have to finish what I started."

"Pssh, you mean you." Margot said apathetically and Kenneth just rolled his eyes at her.

Back at the car, Kenneth thought for a moment on where they're going. He suddenly remembered the girl Zadira. "Hey, do you know anyone by the name, Zadira?" Kenneth asked Margot. "Not tha- that I know of." Margot stutterd. Kenneth chuckled to himself. "You know I f*cking know you stutter when you lie." Kenneth said jokingly. "Ok fine! I knew her from high school. She talked to me at a bar once. I asked her if she could help me steal a necklace from the bartender, and she gladly agreed. I asked what her name was, and she said she was Zadira. End of story." Margot explained.

"We might as well stay here. We don't have much information towards Nathan." Kenneth said, confused on what to do Kenneth thought about the girl that was in Joshua's penthouse. "The girl might be useful." Kenneth said to himself. "Excuse me, are we staying here?!" Margot said apathetically. "No I am." Kenneth said, being both serious and a jokester. "B*tch you know we do stuff together, now I'm going back in there." Margot said, opening the car door. Kenneth laughed silently then left the car outside.

Back inside the hotel, both Kenneth and Margot took separate rooms on the 2nd floor. Whilst Margot stayed at her hotel room, Kenneth roamed around the hotel and took a look on what's new in the hotel.

"Thought you'd stay at the penthouse?" Kenneth bumped into Van at the dining area downstairs. "Now is that a way to greet your old friend?" Kenneth said jokingly. "My bad, how's life Ken?" Van said. "I have some important stuff to do so I have to get back to Mercia real quick." Kenneth said hurriedly. "Oh alright, talk to ya later then." Then both of them went their separate ways.

Kenneth reached the top floor, he could hear a door banging. He immediately knew it was the girl from before. "Can you please f*cking shut up?!?" Charlie shouted, apparantly Charlie was watching over the girl. Kenneth got to the living and saw Charlie just laying down on the couch scrolling through his phone. "Aren't you supposed to be on duty?" Kenneth curiouusly asked. Charlie quickly got up and went back to his post as he knew Kenneth would tell his boss Mercia. "Chill out, I aint tellin' yet." Kenneth said calmly and Charlie let out a sigh of relief.

"Where did he go?" Kenneth asked Charlie, sitting down on the couch. "Who? Joshua?" Kenneth nodded to confirm his question. "He went out with Feliz, I think they're going to talk about the girl." Kenneth thought for a moment. He noticed that the girl from the other side of the door stopped banging and making noise. "You know what, I'll take your post for now." Kenneth exclaimed. "Wait, are you sure?" Charlie said, being really confused. "Yeah, just come back here about… 30 mins." Kenneth said, smiling at him. "Alright then…" And Charlie retreated out of the living room and walked up to the elevator. After he heard a ding from the elevator, he immediately went to the room the girl was in and opened it.

"You're a clever one, aren't you." Kenneth said, standing at the middle of the room, with the window opened. BANG the door shut closed. "See you never!" The girl said from behind the door. "This is one heck of a b*tch."
