The rest of the people started showing a sense of fear and doubt but still charged at us to fight us . Both me and Nathaniel was busy shocking the boss by simply knocking the men off right in front of him . After a while , they seem to decide to save their lives and ran out of the room , leaving the boss alone , unguarded . I wondered of mafia bosses could only kill with guns , or they know to fight for themselves too .
"I had already given you a solution to stop me from doing it . You just don't have brains , do you ?" I laughed , seeing the pale , petrified face of his . He knew clearly that the result of people finding out about him cannot be stopped by paying all of them and he also just witnessed his own people running away from him . He would be defenseless when people find out and so he would be hanged to death when the government gets their hands on him .
He obviously didn't want that and so he finally gave us what we wanted . "He didn't formally inform me about anything but I heard him talking to someone called Cora , that they were planning to move away to Georgia this week . "
I wasn't a least bit shocked to hear that Cora was the one who must have helped Jed to put the spell and tell him about stakes . She was either only telling about the stakes thinking that he wouldn't try , or was trying to backstab Jed and make him die too while killing dad . She was a true Nogitsune(evil Kitsune) .
I looked over at Nath to see him trying hard to digest the information he just got . Without paying any more attention to the boss begging us not to share what we have to the world , we went outside .
I clearly needed a plan starting from what to say to Cora once we return back home to how to trap her and get her to reveal Beth's actual location . Harvey was with her so we also needed to rush back and make sure that nothing happens to her .
Brainstorming ideas , Nath and I came to a conclusion . But if you knew the plan , that's just an excuse to ignore the next chapters , isn't it ? I'm keeping the plan a secret for now . But trust me , it will make sense if you fully read my story .
We came back to Cora waiting eagerly for us outside the front door . Nath and I was able to keep calm about seeing the person who actually helped Jed kill dad and a fake character and acted happy and satisfied .
She was looking like she was ready to hear anything that came out of our mouths but I also got a hint of anxiousness of what we found in her eyes . It was a mystery why I wasn't able to find out where she hid Beth when I saw her story . Maybe witches could hide stuff from others really easily ?
As soon as we reached the normal meeting zone in my house , AKA , the kitchen , a small frown replaced my smiling face . "We found Beth's location" Dad , as well as Cora sighed with relief but Cora's eyes went a little wider . I confirmed that she must have hidden her .
Nathaniel followed me , "We will be able to get to her within a month or so . "
Both dad's and Cora's eyes flew open so wide , for different reasons . "A month !" Both sounded shocked but I could see Cora's lip twitching up a little . I stood my ground , because I knew that she was the one being manipulated here .
Nath and I made up a story in sync , told them that the boss of that mafia had gotten hold of Beth while tracking Jed down , and thankfully , they believed it . Cora said that her husband had come home early and she needed to leave . We let her go since we already knew the actual reason to why she wanted to leave .
Dad was confused to why I wanted to leave to Nathaniel's house just when Cora left but he trusted me so we left .
Cora was driving fast and definitely not to her house since she was supposed to turn a right instead of left when she left our gate . We were so focused on Cora's movements that we didn't even notice the "Goodbye ! Visit New Jersey again!" sign passing by .
We had been following her for 3 hours and the fact that she hadn't noticed us made us very lucky . We only realized where we were when we saw the Art museums that are famous in New York .
Then she took a turn towards the dark streets and parked her car in the dark . We parked our a little more further from hers and walked out casually , keeping an eye on where she's walking .
We followed her but I think we need her hair at back stand up because she looked back . Luckily , the alley was full of turns and we were just about to take the turn she took last . If we had been a second faster , we would have been caught .
She frowned and turned back , walking again . She reached an old villa and knocked in a rhythmic matter , "Knock , Knock , Knock Knock Knock , Knock Knock Knock ."
The door opened and she went inside . Both of us followed after she got in and went to thee back of the villa . The back door was tightly chained outside which was kind of an assuring evidence , letting us know that Beth might be there .
We tried peeking through the windows but it was useless since they had covered the windows with black paper . While thinking of how to see what was going on , the back door opened . We looked and saw that the chain was only attached to the wall and not the door so the door could be opened . The one who opened the door was starting to open the chains and we were about to be caught . We made a silent run to the front of the villa but heard the front door opening too .
We were in between sea and Satan and about to die ...
