Jason looked at Sophia and his face became horrified at the sight of her.
She was leaning on the air bag, unconscious. The white cloth he tied around her mouth was bleeding. Her face was covered in blood completely. He couldn't tell where the bleeding was coming from.
"Didn't you hear what I just said. Get out of the car or I'll shoot" He said threateningly. His hand trembled on the trigger.
Jason slowly came out from the car with his hand behind him. He was feeling about for his own gun without letting Josè know.
"On the ground. Now" Josè said again.
Jason didn't move. He looked into the car to see Sophia again. He became so angry.
Suddenly, Josè's phone starts to ring. He picks it.
"Boss" He says and pauses for a while. "I've got them here"
He paused again and then looks into the car. "I think she's unconscious Boss"
He pauses again and then places the phone to Jason's ear.
Jason stiffened when he heard her voice.
"Jason. I must admit, You're very smart. But you're forgetting that between you and I, I'm smarter. Did you really think that I wouldn't take actions against you. Did you really think I believed you couldn't interfere in my plans"
"So now you want me killed right"
Pearl was outside the mansion. The phone was on her ear and she was in the garden where no one would hear her. She jiggled a glass of champagne in her other hand.
She smiled. "I have no other choice. Do I? Don't worry. I've told Josè to make it as painless as possible. You won't feel a thing"
Jason gritted his teeth. His hand found his gun and he paused.
"You have a lovely family here Mr. Medes. Too bad they're going to loose you"
"Once a Pueterico, Always a Pueterico. No matter what you try to do to change that, there's always an urge in us to spill blood and acquire power" Pearl adds.
Jason looked over at Sophia.
"Sophia's nothing like you"
Pearl laughed. "Well since you're about to die there's no harm telling you some things you'll need to know. Sophia's just like me. In fact.....she's worse. You cannot imagine what she'll do to you once she leaves that house alive. You cannot imagine what she'll do go me once she figures out, she has all the priceless properties under her name"
"She doesn't have a reason to hurt me"
"Oh but that's where you're wrong. Remember you killed her father and kept her hostage"
"𝗬𝗼𝘂 killed Mr. Pueterico" Jason said simply.
"Yes. But she doesn't know that does she"
"You....."
"I've had enough now Jason. I've got a party to get back to. Take care okay" Then she blew him a kiss which made him boil in rage. Then she hung up.
Once Josè was preoccupied with putting the phone in his pocket, Jason turned quickly and kicked him by the jaw bone. The kick sent him staggering back. Jason punched the gun out of his hands and used the butt of his own gun to slam it on his head. Josè went down on the ground with a grunt. Something fell out of Jason's pocket. He picked it up and studied it. It was a tracking device.
He frowned and threw it down on the floor. Then he stepped on it, smashing it before Josè. Using the heel of his shoe, he shuffled his feet over the broken device, breaking it into smaller pieces.
Josè reaches for his gun but Jason stepped on the hand and as he yelped in pain, Jason used the other leg to kick the gun far away.
"Where's your phone"
Jason bellowed. Trembling, Josè pulled it out.
"Open it and give it to me"
As he did, Jason could see his passcode. R999. He snatches the phone and then aims the gun at his forehead.
"You have 10 seconds to get the hell out of my sight or else. ....I'll kill you right here and now and leave your corpse underneath your car"
Before he even finished, Josè ran into his car, it took him some time to find his keys, with trembling hands, he started the car and zoomed of.
Once he did, Jason turned his attention to Sophia. She was still.
