Hugo and Adrian finally made their way into the room. It was dark but they could make out a figure of someone sleeping under the duvets on the bed.
"Are you sure we're in the right room" Hugo asked.
"Dude. I've been to this house a couple of times. I'm 100% sure it's the old man's room"Adrian said making sure to keep his voice low.
"So we get the will, get him to transfer all his properties to your name and we kill him if we have to. Easy"
"That's what you think. But he's not going to give up the location of his will so easily. If we torture him up to the extent that he dies....."
"We have a 'talk' with his daughters then. They should have an idea where it might be"Hugo interrupts
Adrian raises an eyebrow up with an amused smile. "I was gonna say take his properties illegally and start a new life abroad. But....I guess that could work"
Suddenly Mr. Pueterico starts waking up. He sits up and starts rubbing his eyes. "Pearl? Sophia? Is that you? Why are up so late in the middle of the night "
Hugo and Adrian looked at each other.
Mr Pueterico switched on his bed side table lamp which blankets the whole room in several fluorescent lights. Then he puts on his tortoise shelled glasses. He looks up to see his P.A from work and another man whom he had never seen before, right beside him.
"Adrian? What ...what are you going here"
Hugo brings out a small dagger from his pocket and hands it over to Adrian who takes it, his eyes still on Mr. Pueterico. He starts walking over to him. When he gets close, he uses the knife to tease him, swiftly using the blade to lift his chin so that they were now face to face.
"What I should have done many years ago"
Mr. Pueterico dare not move nor breathe, constantly keeping an eye on the blade of the knife which seemed to be making its way to his throat.
"What are you going to do to me" He asked cautiously half-knowing the answer but yet wanting to know the reason for such betrayal from his own P.A.
"Depends" Adrian finally lowered the blade to his neck and pushed it back in a way that Mr. Pueterico was looking up the ceiling shaking like a leaf in the wind. "If you're willing to co-operate with us tonight" Adrian now shrugged. "Then maybe I can make your death painless"
