Chapter 14 - Somethings Missing

Jesse's POV,

Its about time for supper and everyone still seems busy doing their business except us. The people I'm with is currently roaming around and here I am sitting on the lounge left with this psychopathic idiot Jonathan.

Jonathan is just sitting on the other couch sharpening his nails, He's been doing that for almost an hour now. Instead of checking what Morton is up to, all I can hear is sit here and subconsciously complain about my current situation.

I'm gonna admit that the atmosphere at this area is nice but I couldn't stand being around guards and Jonathan here is making things worse. Nash thought of him as a murder suspect the first time I met them and the following day all he could do is smile to himself and suddenly push himself into conversations that doesn't include or concern him.

"Seňiorita and Seňior dinner is now being served, please follow me to the dining room." a servant said

Finally I could finally leave this part of the mansion! I wonder how good the food is in this place cause you, I am not bragging or anything but my families personal cook is so good on doing his job to the point that you'll cry when you taste his grilled lobster and the shredded potatoes on egg.

We reached the dining room and there are 20 chairs perfectly place at sides of this very long table with western styles carved wood for additional design. I sat beside Nash just hoping that I will get information of who he really is.

I looked at the other side of the table and there Arthur, Francis and Pei are fighting over the who gets the larger steak but to my perspective it actually has the same size; way to go president's chef!

All of us are sat at the table with the other happily talking while Nash is just sitting beside me properly eating his meal while talking to the crippled girl on his other side. I don't mean to disrespect the president's daughter but the topic she keeps on insisting to choose is so damn boring, like who the hell wants to know how hair grow; just kidding I know how its grown but you don't have to talk about it while on the table.

"So how is your experience?" the president asked

"Experience?" Francis said in awe

"You know your experience on this place?"

"Oh that! this place is a thousand much better than my home and forget about the thousand its actually a million times better and it is so symmetrical and the interior design matches the outside." Francis said

"You have quite the keen eye huh." the president said

The president's son barged into the door and he looks like he is in a hurry.

"Father, dozens of sensitive information were stolen from our vault."

"Why barged in like that Aaron, here sit first and eat." the president said

Mister Collins and sir Ryuuji is looking at Aaron like they are so interested to know what in the world is happening.

"This is no time to eat father! Those information is enough to bring our country down in 7 days if it falls to the wrong hands!" Aaron shouted

"So is it the ones on blue folder?" the president asked

"Yes..."

The mood started to get serious when the president put his both his arms on the table and leaned his head on it like he is praying. He starts murmuring something but I am pretty sure that it is just a shitty prayer.

"This is no time to recite that shit poem! We need to find those files immediately." Aaron exclaimed

"I've sent a few of our men on a certain perimeter but I doubt that the culprit is even planning to go outside." Aaron continued

A smart culprit we got here.

"Tell us the details please." Sir Ryuuji said

"This is no time for kindergarten to interrupt sir." Aaron said

"Aaron!" Aaron quiets down as his father slammed the table

"How can you be so rude to our visitors!!"

"Mister Collins and Mister Namikaze can we please go outside with your Detective team so I can explain what those files are." the president said

"Sure."

"Fuck duty calls I guess." Francis said as everyone stood up and the crippled daughter just look clueless

We walked outside the dining room and just stood there for a couple of seconds till the president rotated his ring. Every door and windows that we can see closed and the lights turned dim.

"I have to put this place on lockdown first just in case that Aaron's guess is true." the president said

The president gave Mister Collins a phone which he explained has access to every security camera on the place.

"Listen those files are about the crimes that the previous president committed, though it helped our country improved a lot; half of the nation would surely go on a huge riot and take down a large portion of this country. If that happens its game over for everyone the lives in here and I don't want my family caught up in the crimes of this country but Aaron keeps on digging secrets." the president said

Looks like Jeux the second is a trouble maker...

"Don't worry we will handle the situation here." Sir Ryuuji said

"How about the payment?" the president asked

"This ones free." Sir Ryuuji replied

The door of the dining room suddenly unlocks letting Aaron leave the room. All that's left inside is the butler and the younger daughter.

"Ah kid may I ask you how the scene currently look like?" Sir Ryuuji asked

"Guess I got no choice but to tell you.. Four heavily armed soldiers who are on duty to guard the vault from the inside were alive but is currently unconscious inside the vault they are alive but they would probably soon be dead. There are no signs that the culprit searched the place cause the exact position of those files were already open. 2 soldiers guarding the vault from the outside both are dead one is sticking his head on the wall with a knife while the other died from bleeding." Aaron said

"What do you mean by Alive but soon be dead?" Beatrice asked

"Hey don't interrupt them." Wendy whispered

"Idiot we were going to find the culprit without pay." Beatrice said which silenced Wendy

"They are breathing but their heartbeat is about to stop." Aaron said

Then Jonathan whispered

"Interesting..."
