Chereads / The Devil Is Back / Chapter 11 - Chapter 10

Chapter 11 - Chapter 10

-Kenneth's POV-

We arrived at this abandoned building with vines all over the exterior walls. 'Why would Mercia meet here?' I thought. Charlie lead me to the front entrance. The door frame looked moldy. The inside looked wrecked but the staircase isn't. I followed Charlie upstairs like a lost puppy.

I saw Joshua outside a room, along with Van and Aaron. "Finally." Joshua sighed and him and Charlie went into the room.

I took a small peak and saw two girls tied up. "What's all happening over here?" I asked and Van and Aaron just shrugged. I rolled my eyes, I'm not sure they genuinely don't know what was happening, but I plan to ask Joshua what's actually happening here.

It's been an hour and a half and they're still not done. There were some times that we could hear Joshua shouting in the room. A while ago Charlie already left the room leaving Joshua to interogate them.

***

Alright be honest, who's bored?" Aaron asked then turned to Van on his left who dozed off and Charlie immediately raised his hand. I couldn't help but smirk at Charlie's childish personality.

"Why don't we just leave then?" We got more important stuff to do rather than just sit around and wait for the big baby Joshua." I complained as I stood up right, debating on either to walts in there and speed up the interrogation or just downright and leave the place and continue a whole load of paper work that needs to be done for the precinct and to find this 'Zadira'

"We couldn't just leave, boss would kill us." Van stated with his eyes still closed. "He wouldn't mind it if you leave. We'll handle this." Aaron blurted out.

Hearing these, I felt as if I was some pity case that wants to be get done and over with but couldn't help but be a bit naughty.

I fixed up my posture and ran a hand through my hair. Finally I have made a decision to walk in there and get the interrogation faster.

What can I say, I liike trouble. I bet he would absolutely kill me when I step inside of this very door.

I didn't want to just be downright rude so I waited a few minutes on the door frame to listen what they were saying.

Like you weren't already rude.

"Where is she." Joshua stated. The effort to make himself sound calm was there, just didn't come off as calm. I saw the way the brown haired girl, Kinsley, was it, glaring at him and tried to kick them both especially Joshua in an effort to try and escape.

"How the fuck should I know?! I don't have a traker on her!" Kinsley snapped. The other one, Akisha, felt otherwise as I could see her try her hardest not to smile or chuckle.

I couldn't wait any longer as I knew with these two fuckers they can't get the two girls to talk.

"Boys boys." I stated, slowly making my way to where Joshua was. I could here Aaron whispered that I'm going to be dead and said that he wanted to organize and take chargee of my funeral. I couldn't help but roll my eyes and scoff at his comment.

"What the fuck Presley?!" Joshua stated irritatedly and ran a hand through his thick black hair. "I'll get this done Mercia. Clearly they now what they're doing." I said facing the two tied up girls. I'm guessing Joshua is too tired to fight back as he clenched his fist and just walked to the side of the room where the light doesn't shine.

I signalled Charlie to stand behind them so that if there are any attempts of escape we got eyes, and I know that there's CCTV over at the back and Feliz is watching us carefully, well, watching mostly the girls so that if he ever see them cutting the rope and we don't even notice, we would know.

"Alright. How the fuck are we to day." I started sarcastically. I didn't expect Joshua to scoff at that but, he did. "We already now about you both knowing a person called, Sami Zatara and possibly a person called... Zadira." I stated waiting for a reaction. Kinsley just gave me a deadpan stare though Akisha's eyes opened wide for just a second which I wanted, it indicates they do know the two people. "Thank you for the reaction, Ms. Anders! That is partially what I needed!" Kinsley smacked in the back with her dangling hand as Akisha glared at her with unknowing eyes.

I remember this morning, before me and Connerman got here, we were investigating a shooting at the hotel, well not really a 'shooting' shooting, but rather the broken window. "Should I dare say, you were involved with a shooting incident at the hotel?" I said, and quickly as I said 'shooting' Kinsley's eyes scanned the room to where Joshua was and when she found him he glared at him, shooting daggers to his head.

"And should I say, you both broke something in a private property?" I asked again. Kinsley stopped glaring at Joshua and her face turned into a frown. "Broke something in private property?" Akisha questioned as she turned to me, then to her friend Kinsley.

I noticed her mouth formed an 'o' as I think she now knows what I'm talking about. She just replied with a no as she shaked her head.

It was obvious she was lying as she already responded that she knew all about it first before even saying no. I just rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.

"Right, got the information that you both know who Sami and Zadira are. You both know about the incident at the hotel. Now, where is Zatara?

"Fine." Kinsley blurted out in defeat. I could feel Joshua smirking right this second even though I don't even see him. "It was, a nightmare lets just say that. Yes, we both know who Sami and Zadira are. What I know is that Zadira is dead, and I don't know where Sami is. The shooting at the hotel was not out fault for its your boss' fault. And for the broken window, someone threw a rock on it and it broke." She said, glaring at Joshua then smiled thinly.

"I would normally just take your word for it, but I would like to hear from Ms. Anders here." I said and gestured Akisha to talk what she knows.

"Well, true that we know Zadira is dead and that we don't know where Sami is. True about the shsooting and true about the window. But, I think that you think that Zadira is alive, I suggest going to Italy! Though a beautiful place, that was her favorite place to just hide and be herself."

I don't still don't know whether to believe the two or not but I already gestured Joshua to give an order as I was already done getting them to talk. "Thank you for the information." Joshua stated and stood up from where he was. "Aaron and Van should be staying here to keep an eye on both of you. I'm still debating on whether to kill you both, let you go, or just keep you in here.

An hour or three had gone by and I was finishing up some paperwork to give the precinct as I stumble upon a file. 'Nicholas Cambridge Orozo' It had caught my eye as he was needed to be found. Sometimes I wish I didn't even did or started to work as an investigator, detective and a lawyer. Though I am good at it.

Nicholas was convicted of human and drug trafficking, stolen gems from all over the world, and so many more but was never even caught. This intrieged me as it reminds me of myself and Joshua. I reviewed over some files again and god I wish I didn't have to see that.
