Chapter 34 - Culprits

Now Akiel on the other hand was compelled, that they were never there interrupting his video games.

Then Dracul and the Demon King was back in their vehicle. The Demon King then made contact with the team parked behind via a text message.

Briefing them and letting them know to pay very close attention to this one and bring in reinforcements if needed.

This location was one of their meeting locations, a lot of potential targets to follow.

This was not over till the Demon King got the location of those missing witnesses.

Castle Velia – the kitchen.

Anthony wheeled the cart into the kitchen with the left over breakfast and announced that their guest would like her food put away for safe keeping. She will call for it when she is ready, she just could not let it go to waste. Anthony says the last part sarcastically.

Janice now at the other end of the kitchen busy checking supplies.

Her ear perk up and she rolls her eyes and mutters below her breath, "let's see how long this little act will last." Then she took note of the time as if she would literally be timing Diviya's act.

Lifting her left hand to look at the dark brown watch she was wearing.

It's no secret that Janice is suspicious of this act because she was not falling for it, same old act different girl.

Let's wait and see how far she takes this farce Janice thought bitterly.

Back in Kahuna Heights….

Agent Ward stood in front of the brown wooden door with the small sign that says 'Patrick Ferguson' to the top and below was 'Attorney at law'.

He pressed the buzzer.

Looking at the man at the other side of the door from the camera view on a monitor.

Samantha presses the button that opens the door and made her way around her desk.

With a click of the door, Agent Ward steps in and closes the door behind him.

"Good Evening Sir and how can I help you? Samantha ask, now standing in front of her desk.

"Good evening Ms., My name is FBI Agent Ward and I am here to see Mr. Patrick Ferguson the Attorney."

Yes he used his title, he needed to make headway.

She gestures towards the seat near her desk.

"Please have a seat" then she made her way around her desk.

He nods and moves to the seat.

She asks "may I ask regarding what?" As she reaches for her phone.

Her hand hovers over the phone as she waits for an answer looking him in the eye.

"It's regarding a classified case I am working on." Agent Ward answers.

He was hoping it in some way boost the lawyer's ego, to think that he might be privy to something that's classified.

Agent Ward hopes he will at least be curious enough to hear him out.

Agent Ward did not have any warrant or any right to demand anything but he needed to be sure that Diviya would be taken care of.

He would tell him just enough in hopes of the lawyer doing him a solid.

Samantha picks up the phone and press two numbers on the phone pad and puts the receiver to her ear.

"Mr. Ferguson sorry to disturb you but an FBI Agent Ward is here to see you about a classified case he is working on."

Silence….

Then after a short moment again you could hear slight grumbling. Then Samantha says, "Ok Sir."

Putting down the receiver she sits up and looks at Agent Ward and says, "this way he will see you now."

She gets up and leads him into Mr. Ferguson's office.

Agent Ward quickly jumps to his feet and follows her in.

Entering the office Mr. Ferguson was sitting at his desk, eyes fixed on the computer screen.

When Samantha spoke, he looks up with a look that says make this quick you are disturbing me.

Samantha quickly made introductions and left.

Agent Ward walks towards the desk and Mr. Ferguson's brown eyes never left him.

Agent Ward reaches up to the desk and pulls out his FBI ID, shows him and says, "Firstly thank you for hearing me out, I am here about one of your clients. Who recently passed. They were murdered in cold blood."

Agent Ward inwardly smiles at his choice of words as the lawyer's demeanor changed to one of mild curiosity.

"Yes?" Mr. Ferguson's voice did not match his mild curiosity he sounded a bit too eager for the Agent to go on and gestures him to have a seat.

Agent Ward pulls out the chair and sat down.

Mr. Ferguson was curious to know of any details of the death of his clients the Masons. He read their file and he just knew it was about them.

Out of the three files he attended too earlier on today, it was only the Mason's who were murdered.

One was cancer and the other heart problems.

Just this morning he went through that file and discovered that there was actually a two million dollar pay out and the interest of that? Well let's just say, he smiles inwardly remembering.

Yes that pay out was a shock to him to find out also to find out that the love of his life Vicky Mason was murdered in cold blood, was even more shocking.

Nevertheless he had done the necessaries for this file and now he have a letter for Diviya.

The house will go to the church as they always feared that one day that ruthless Vampire Diviya's birth mother spoke about would finally find her.

As such, of course he would do anything to help her.

Diviya's adoptive parents wanted Diviya to know the truth. But they chickened out every time. They hoped they would be able to tell her themselves, they thought they had time.

But Diviya had turned twenty one now and still so far nothing.

They couldn't, especially when they saw the lengths she was going to hide little things from them, but they wanted her to know they loved her even if she isn't human in the end.

So they prepared for it just in case they didn't get to tell her in life they would get to in death.

And though Mr. Ferguson is always about the money.

This time, it was NOT just about the money, this time, it's so much more.

He wants to see his love Vicky, last wish come true by getting this will and funds to her daughter.

In the end Mr. Ferguson knew he and Ward had a lot to talk about.

Ward opens up a bit and explains a bit more, but left out her location.

He just stated that she is now in protective custody and "I am sure you can understand this money can go a long way in keeping Diviya safe, she can go far away and lay low."

Though Mr. Ferguson was primed and ready to give Agent Ward a hard time, wondering what the hell he was doing here.

He was so use the Law Enforcement harassing him about some of his clients.

Coming in here thinking they can bully him for information.

Especially on divorce cases or wills when there was a murder or so envolved.

Mr. Ferguson was use to this and was prepared to tell him come back with a warrant.

However this particular client caused him to change plans.

Mr. Ferguson was already in agreement.

Mr. Ferguson and Agent Ward then discussed the necessaries and next steps.

"Once everything go as planned, I would just need to get her account details for the funds and I can really use your assistance for things to go as planned".

Mr. Ferguson says, while leaned back in his chair, hands crossed. Then he lift one hand and his finger touched his chin as he mull this plan over.

Seems like they needed each other.

"Count me in." Agent Ward says.

Now on hearing this Mr. Ferguson was already on the phone calling the insurance company to speed up the process explaining the situation and then Agent Ward threw his title around as well.

In the end Agent Ward just had to contact Diviya when everything was ready. He would not disturb her a minute before.

Now that Agent Ward got this covered he needed to get home. He hadn't had a good nights rest and he have been going non stop since before he landed in Kahuna Heights.

He was tired.

However before he took his departure Agent Ward felt the need to really warn Mr Ferguson about these people.

"Call me paranoid but I suggest that you lay low for a few weeks. Pack up what you need till then and work from somewhere. And not at your home either, go somewhere completely new paying cash only."

"Who knows what they might do once they checked with all their corrupted friends in law enforcement and realize they do not know WHICH safe house she is at."

Little do those culprits know she was never in any of them but he was sure they would soon find out after maybe checking themselves who knows how far they would go.

But Agent Ward knew exactly how far they would go.

As far as it takes to get their hands on their target and sadly right now that is Diviya.
