If only he loved me too

Chapter 13: thirteen

"He is usually here on Tuesdays, to check on the business, I guess," Lucas said nodding towards a

shabby looking apartment building in front of us, we have been observing this building for half an hour.

waiting for Mr.Unknown. I know it's too dramatic but Lucas came up with it so what can I say? The

guy's been helping me since day one, this is the least I could do to pay him back.

The first thing we did when we found his location was to track his routine and fit in into our database,

what he does? where he goes? where he lives? what does he eat? everything.

After observing him enough about a week in shadows, we head out to take matters into our own hands.

We didn't contact the police here because he controls the police here as well, he is like the government

in of this place, every complaint against him has gone unnoticed and the person who files the

complainant is the one arrested or never heard from ever again, which came as a shock to us since we

didn't realize how dangerous this man can be.

"here he comes, " Lucas said staring at a black limo as he sips his cold coffee. Peter got out of the

backseat and stood tall like some kind of a King.

It makes my skin crawl with uneasiness and dreadfulness, just looking at him gives me creeps, for a

murderer, he looks at so much ease, no regrets, and no remorse, well that's about to change. He is

gonna pay for what he did to me and a whole lot of other people like me.

"let's go," I said and moved swiftly Lucas stood back for backup. John and I moved to the fire exit to go

unseen, this is a very dangerous plan I know but this is something I'm willing to do.

"Remember, don't kill anyone we just need to observe and don't get caught," I ordered John and he

nodded in understanding, we climb the staircase without alerting them of our presence, slowly and

carefully we reach the top and spy on them from one of the broken windows

We climbed up to the topmost apartment of the building and watched from the window. Peter was in

there surveying the weapons and drugs displayed on the tables. Lots of scary-looking men with lots of

tattoos were guarding the place.

I make eye-contact with John we nod. we secretly take pictures of Peter and all the illegal things

around the apartment. we wait for a while and before anyone sees us we got out of that place, it felt too

easy to like, I don't think if it were this easy to spy on them someone else would have already done so,

but I keep the suspension to my self not trying to alert the already panicked and on the edge Lucas.

When we safely reach the bottom of the fire exit and Lucas was waiting for us in a black car. "What did

you find?" he asked us as we got in the car. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Something illegal," I said monotone and pulled out my laptop. I linked all the pictures and videos we

captured and sent them to the higher, uncorrupted detectives

"Now what?" Lucas asked nervously looking at my laptop observing all the illegal evidence we had

collected against Peter

I sighed leaning onto my seat "Now, we wait" watching the files being uploaded on the mass media as

well as the national police.

The police are the police and took their time to reach the crime site, Peter had already left when they

arrived but we were smart. we followed him silently in our car and followed him drove off to somewhere

into a remote area.

it was getting dark as we drove behind Peter's limo, we were smart not to turn on our headlights so

they could figure out they were being followed. after 2 hours of driving the limo slowed down in a

completely abanded place.

our location was being traced by my trustworthy detective back in America. so, we were safe, or at

least if we die our bodies would be found, at least that's what I hope before one of Peter's goons get rid

of our bodies.

The limo drove into a smaller road and entered a huge metal gate which opened automatically. I held

Lucas's hand when he was driving towards the gate as well, he stopped before he could have triggered

any of the sensors, one can never be too sure.

"Cameras," I said nodding towards the top of the wall where there were a camera and some more

down the end of the fence. if there are sensors there will be cameras as well.

John and I got out first "Stay hidden if we don't come out within 2 hours call backup or leave," he

looked like he wanted to argue but didn't because he knew how serious this situation was and nodded.

I signaled John to follow me and we walked to a secure place where I could climb the wall and disable

the cameras manually there were three cameras on the wall as well but were at quite a distance.

After successfully disabling the first two cameras we jumped off the wall and quietly ran in, there were

guards at every corner but John being the muscle among us took care of that he knocked them out and

hid their bodies behind the trees. we ran towards the voices and stood in front of a huge window.

Peter was talking to someone but it was not clear who, maybe a partner or someone of higher authority

because it looked like he was explaining something. the other guy pulled out a gun and pointed at

Peter who looked scared shitless, he looked petrified which means we got a bigger fish to fry. John and

I shared a look of confusion but kept quiet and observe their interaction.

Then that mystery person changed the position of his gun and shot Peter's guard Dead, in one shot, a

bullet to the head and the guard was gone.

I flinched and clamped the palm of my hand on my mouth at the sound trying not to make any sound

that could get us caught, John placed his hand on my shoulder in comfort to which I was grateful, but

then the guy with the gun pointed the nozzle at Peter and spoke like he was warning him for the last

time.

and then he turned.

My heartbeat stopped at the familiar face, and I froze in my place so did John. the person stood in front

of us was none other than, the wave of pain, hurt, and betrayal hit me like a tsunami

Dimitri

He is alive...

he didn't look a day older than the last time I saw him, other than the fact that he was burnt to a crisp

but now he's not. what the hell is going on? As I think over it the body was so severely burnt that it was

hard to recognize if it was Dimitri.

unknowingly I stepped back and something fell, maybe a pot it broke creating a huge

sound. everybody's attention snapped towards the window where we were and they rushed to get to

us. we ran and tried to get away but they had guns and dogs eight behind us.

"Stop them," someone yelled as we ran towards the gate but before I could reach the gate someone hit

my head and I fell, but before I closed my eyes I saw feet approaching me

it felt like a Deja Vu but this was not it was not someone unknown, this time it was someone I loved

dearly and someone I thought was dead.
