Chapter 30 - Secret interrogation

In silence they drove down to the safe house. The location was at the outskirt of the town. In between Blackpool and the town of Higher ground. Right in the forest that separated the two towns was a single buidling built in a bedsitter fashion but surrounded by a fence. It was the hideout of a notorious criminal who kept terrorizing the two towns till his luck ran out. The government took over the building and secretly auction it instead of destroying. Haley secured also in secret as her place for her to escape the world when she needs time to be on her own and work on her own.

She even had men repaint the whole place and fixed security cameras everywhere with electric wires on tbe fence too to prevent anyone from coming in. Aside the route that leads to the house every other place around the house is surrounded by massive vegetation

A night to her wedding was the last time she came here. She came here to cry her heart out and made that silly request for God to save her from marrying Anthony. Now she has been saved for now from marrying him but she has been handed something else that is taking her peace presently.

"Wow this is a nice place " Pedro commended her breaking the silence between them.

"Thank you" she gave a short reply as she used her pass code to make an entry into the compound. She knew Pedro was more impressed with the look inside the fence than outside from the look on his face. The wonders around all ended outside as the house was only a single room that was big enough for more than six persons even though it would just be the two of them in there for now.

"Wow, I never expected you would have this kind of place to yourself. This is what drug lords and kidnappers do" Pedro pointed out as he went around everything in the room. He was more interested in the CCTV because the cameras were even placed in some distance from the house. He wanted to be sure he was safe here for real with her.

Haley watched him from the corners of her eyes as she waited for him to get comfortable before she attacks him with her questions.

Immediately she noticed he sat down on the bed to rest his back she fired him with her first question as she took a chair close to him

"How did you learn to shoot like that? "Haley asked curiously.

Pedro didn't steer at all as he closed his eyes while on the bed in a posture that suggested either he had suddenly fallen asleep or he was thinking of something else.

"Please Pedro I will like you to answer my questions. I will really appreciate it if you do so" Haley pleaded this time as she saw that talking to him harshly would not help.

"I don't understand what you mean by that question. I am someone who was trained by BigJo one of the best security company in this town and country at large. What do you expect? Pedro replied her opening his eyes with a frown on his face.

"Yes, that's right but then I have seen different people in this my line of duties. Infact I have worked with men of the armed forces too. There are only some group of persons skilled like you and they are professional as... Halylwy decided not to complete her statement but Pedro was not going to take that. He sprang up on his feet to look her in the eyes while she was still on the chair.

"Complete your statement. What are you trying to say?
