Chapter 38 - The meeting with Mr Francis

They stopped by my feet and I went in the back of the van and got dressed.

"Sir, it seems that Mr Francis headed home. Are we to continue following him?" My enforcement that was around the steering wheel asks.

"Stay close to him, but not close enough to make him suspicious," I replied.

"Okay, sir!".

After I was finished getting ready, I was sitting at the back waiting to see if Mr Francis was going to leave for his work.

*Sigh* I slowly started to lose faith and give up on this mission until I saw another car leave Mr Francis' house.

"Wait a minute, that is not the same car as before. Haha, this is going to be a fun man to speak with." I laugh to myself at the thought of seeing Mr Francis change cars.

"Boys, follow him!".

Following behind Mr Francis' car for 15 minutes, Mr Francis finally came to a stop at an open cafe shop.

He brought his coffee and lemon poppy seeds muffins, then took his seat. "I am going to do business now..." I said, then left the van.

I walk towards Mr Francis, who is sitting and reading a newspaper as he waits for his coffee to be the right temperature for him.

"Can I help you?", Mr Francis asked, which took me by surprise. "I'm hoping you can..." I replied, then held my hand out to him and said, "Mr Blake,".

After shaking hands, Mr Francis asked, "So what can I help you with today, Mr Blake?". I took a seat opposite of him then answered, "I'm hoping you can give me information on Mr Blake, a man you worked with three years ago,".

"Hmm, Mr Blake? I haven't heard from that man for over two years now," Mr Francis replied. "Okay, well can you tell me what project you and he worked on last three years ago?" I asked. "Yes, sure,".

"Three years ago, Mr Blake and I had a trade. He wanted a very rare and expensive diamond called the blue light diamond. Not sure why he needed it, but I gave it to him under one condition. Since the diamond was expensive, Mr Blake didn't want to pay much, so he gave me his daughter to be my wife,".

Hearing such a thing shocked me that I had to ask, "A daughter? Mr Blake has a daughter?". "Yes. That man is a very busy man. After his daughter turned two years old, Mr Blake found out that he had a son on the way," he said again.

"What's the son's name?", I asked to confirm if that's me or someone else. "I don't really remember his name but it should start with a L,".

"After I got married to his daughter, the last time I heard from him was that he got his hands messed up in some bad things. Most people wouldn't know him by Mr Blake, but by Mr Dark,".

Hearing these things put me in a questioning position that my dad wasn't only just a criminal that knows how to hide his tracks but also had a daughter, which he sold because he didn't want to spend much money.

I wonder if this man is speaking about Juliet. "Mr Francis, you said you were married to Mr Blake's daughter, right?" I asked. "Are you still married to her?".

"Yes, I am...", Hearing his answer my blood started to boil. I wanted to just hold Francis by his throat and choke him to death to know he accepted my crazy old man's offer and married my sister. She must be broken by the fact her own father did something like that.

Just wait, old man, I will find you and take my sister out of this relationship you put her into without making her live her life as she pleases.

This also explains why Mr Francis does two jobs. One is to keep an eye on my sister and the other is for his money making company. This man is really an asshole from hell.

"Mr Blake? Are you okay over there?", Mr Francis asked, since I was quiet and lost in my thoughts. "Yes, I am. And thank you for today. Please excuse me, I have to go now," I said as I smile and get up out of my seat.

"It was wonderful to have someone to join me for my break today. Maybe I will see you next time again," Mr Francis said. "I hope so too. Have a nice day," I said, as I faked a smile and walked away.

I walked back to the van and as I entered, everyone was confused why my facial expression was nothing else than hatred.

"Did everything go as planned, boss?" one of my men asked. I smiled and then commanded them to bring me to the base. "Bring me to the base. I got business to do,".

"That's weird..." Angelina said as she was checking through the squad information since she was dealing with the technology for this mission.

"What is?" everyone around her asks expected Max.

"It looks like Max called someone last night..." Angelina said. "What are you saying?" Alex asked.

"I'm saying Max called someone last night when all of us were asleep and after someone he knows attacked us!" Angelina said, which shocked everyone.

Max, who was quiet and listening to them, never said a word. "So, Max, who did you call?" Angelina asked in a scary tone.

Max never replied, but stayed quiet and allowed his squad to get suspicious of him. "Max, don't tell me you are working with that man, right?" Alex asked in a hurting voice.

Max didn't reply, but stayed quiet. Everyone around started looking at him differently, with different opinions running through their minds.

Max never said anything, but got up from where he was sitting and left the room.

"Do we actually have a traitor in our squad or are we just misunderstanding things?" Alex asked in a low tone. "Because Max has no will... he wouldn't do such a thing...".
