Third person point of view
Joshua woke up feeling tired and still was even after a good shower. " Have this it will boost your energy ". Elijah served breakfast and Joshua did feel a bit better. He kissed Elijah and left for office. Elijah finished his shower and sat on the couch. He called Nicholas. " What happened ? " " I did what you said. He is trying to find you guys now. What do I do ? "
" Tell him the details then ". " WHAT ? " Nicholas shouted in shock. Elijah picked up his chocolate milk. " Well... it is either he comes to me or I go to him. Since I am too lazy just let him come to me ". Elijah was still calm. " What are you saying Elijah ? " Elijah explained and Nicholas was surprised. " No wonder you are Elijah ". Nicholas said after he heard it all.
" Did you praise me ? " Nicholas rolled his eyes. " Yes dumbass ". Elijah nodded. " I am not an unfilial son anymore then ? " Nicholas scoffed. " You still are ". Elijah shook his head. " Your standards are too high ". " Duh ". Elijah chuckled. " So, get to work ? " Nicholas huffed. " Yes sir ". Elijah hung up and continued sipping his drink.
When Joshua came back home after work, they sat looking at the files. They were shocked at the way the amount was missing from the company. " What does he do with all of this ? Does he gamble or something ? " Joshua said looking at the numbers and Elijah almost said yes. He shut his mouth in the last minute without saying anything.
" We have to keep these safe as proof. But we should find out about how this money is utilized. Did Nicholas say anything ? " Elijah nodded. " He did get to work, but he didn't find anything. If he did he would've told us ". Joshua nodded. " I guess we will wait a little more ". Elijah nodded. Joshua looked through the files.
" There are a few addresses on them. Ask Nicholas to trace the location ". Elijah nodded. He sent them to Nicholas and asked to trace them. " I guess this is it for now. Let's see what to do after we find these places ". Joshua said putting the files away. He gave the bag to Elijah who put it in his room.
It didn't take long for the guy to come find them just like Elijah wanted him to. " He will be there tonight ". Nicholas said through the phone. " Uh huh ". " I prepared for everything as you asked me to. There is not going to be a single mistake ". " Done ". Elijah hung up and put his phone away. He was long prepared for this anyway.
The day ended and it turned dark. Joshua was sleeping in his room. Elijah woke up after a while and got out of bed. He walked towards Joshua's room without making any noise. He could hear Joshua's breathing. He didn't enter and left there. He walked out of the house and went to the elevator. He walked out of their building and into the opposite building.
He went to the floor which was equal to theirs and followed the directions he got from Nicholas beforehand. He walked in to find a guy sitting on the floor and people holding guns in his direction. Everyone in the room bowed their head lightly as a greeting to Elijah as soon as they saw him enter the place. Nicholas walked up to Elijah.
Elijah looked around. " Is everything under control ? " Nicholas nodded. " How did you do this ? " That guy asked looking at Elijah. Elijah stood with his hands in his pockets. " Sei un cretino. Non hai capito una sega ". Elijah smirked and turned around to leave. " Finish it quickly ". Nicholas nodded. Elijah left the place to go back home.
Nicholas went to look out to the streets. He then walked closer to the guy. " What is all of this ? What did he say to me ? " He sounded desperate. His life could end in the blink of an eye after all. Nicholas turned to him. " I don't think you would be happy to know that. I will tell you things that will be more useful for you ". That guy stared at Nicholas.
Nicholas slowly paced around while explaining it. " Let us go back to a few days ago. How did you get information that easily ? You don't even know who they were, why they did that or what did they want. Least not even their faces. Literally nothing and yet you even got their residential address just like that. Didn't you find it suspicious ? "
Nicholas turned to look at that guy. " Are you that dumb ? Adam ". That guy, Adam, looked up in shock. " You trapped me ? " Nicholas chuckled. " Well, you can say that. But I would like to put it as luring you. I just laid down the path and you walked in by yourself ". Adam didn't understand what was happening.
Flashback
Elijah took a sip of his drink. " Send him false information about us, but the right address. We will see what he is actually planning to do and then capture him. We can use him as a pawn ". Nicholas opened his mouth. " Ah.... " " We need to know what we can get from him. Don't kill him. Got it ? " Elijah warned making Nicholas purse his lips.
" Fine, fine. I won't ". " Good ". Nicholas chuckled. Just like they planned, he sent the information through his people and found out Adam, who is also Alex's driver most of the time was the one helping in things like this. Adam planned to shoot them from the other building and then get the files back. He set everything up and aimed right at Joshua through the window.
His finger was placed on the trigger. He heard a gun being unlocked from behind and stopped before pulling the trigger. He felt it being pointed at the back of his head. He pulled his hands away from the gun and raised his hands in surrender. He turned around and saw few men standing with guns pointing at him.
He sat down on the floor and saw Nicholas walk in. Not soon after he saw Elijah walk in. He didn't know how it happened, but he knew he shouldn't try anything stupid. So he surrendered. He didn't get a word of what Elijah said. Even Nicholas's explanation wasn't enough for him to get things straight.
Back to present
" I.... " Adam felt at a loss of words. He was too eager for the files and didn't look into things. Nicholas smirked. " Why don't you try using that gun ? " Adam turned to it but didn't move. Seeing that Adam was not going to pick it up, Nicholas did. He pointed it at Adam. Adam's eyes went wide. " What are you doing ? "
Adam shrilled in fear. Nicholas didn't even blink and pulled the trigger. Adam screamed shielding with his hands. Nothing happened. Adam lowered his hands. Nicholas laughed and pulled the trigger a few more times. " See ? " The gun was tampered with. Adam didn't know who they were but he knew they weren't someone to mess with.
Nicholas crouched down. " Now that you saw what I can do. Listen to what I have to say and do it properly. Don't make a mistake. I know your every move. If anything goes wrong.... " Nicholas smiled. Adam gulped and nodded. " I will do what you say ". Nicholas nodded. " That's good then. Now, shall we get down to business ? " Nicholas gave a small smile.
