Chereads / The Rejected Orphan / Chapter 11 - Files

Chapter 11 - Files

Ryan went through the files sent to his office before his arrival.

" she said you shouldn't worry about her and the girl any more as they have already left the mansion" his secretary, Matthew informed him.

Ryan looked up from the files, " is this all" his gaze held Matthew's.

" I'm not sure, but..." he paused contemplating whether or not to tell him.

" but?.." Ryan asked him with a piercing gaze, Matthew swallowed hard to keep his calm. I

" but...she didn't give the complete details" he stated.

" why?" asked Ryan, his voice still calm and collected.

" em..she told me that she has summarized everything and it's in the file, but the event before your mother's death isn't there" he said in a go without a pause.

" why?" Ryan asked feeling almost betrayed.

" that I don't know " Matthew answered with a shrug.

" I need you to pull out the truth from her" he commanded.

" ah...."Matthew hesitated.

" spill it out" Ryan requested.

" she said she got the files Mrs Quinn stole, and it's here with the other files, I.....I think you will find what you are looking for there" Matthew didn't know why but he believed that Ryan's step mother had something to do with the missing files during the investigation, because she once had a friend who died after the investigation, he was one of the investigators.

" fine, you can leave" Ryan said with a bored tone and Matthew made a quick dash out of the office.

Ryan returned his gaze to the files on his desk, " it's better you stay true to your words" he mumbled.

He went through the files, " so this was it" he said staring at the word, ' The murder case of Belle Quinn'.

"I couldn't be more sure" he mumbled. he went through the file for the second time and exhaled resting his elbows on the table.

After some minutes spent on thinking, he heard a knock on the door.

"who's there" he asked as he looked at the direction of the door.

"David, Sir" replied the person at the door.

" come in"

David made his way into the office and slightly bowed his head, " sir Miss Elena has been sent to the north."

" Mrs Quinn"

" yes sir" David stared at the floor contemplating weither or not he should say it.

"spill it out" came Ryan's bored voice.

' here comes the devil'

"em...sir...we couldn't find.....her" David said with shaky voice.

" Elena?" asked Ryan as he looked up at him.

" yes sir " David clenched his fists as he spoke, " Mary left the house this morning. We have been trying to reach her but...."

Ryan interrupted him, " they should be fine, but make sure both are safe" Ryan said and stood up from the chair.

" have you located their location?"

" yes sir "

" send it to my office at noon"

" yes sir"

" you can leave" he dismissed him.

' it's better to be safe at a distance than to be killed at a close proximity' he looked out of the window, looking up at the sky, ' mom, I will try my possible best to get you justice.'
