Chapter 20: Grace
"We have to split up." I tell them, and they all nod in agreement with my statement. Donald and I head to the left. Rachel heads to the right. The building is dark so we turn on our torch lights from our phone to illuminate the place.
Once we had put on our gloves, we started looking for any hints or clues that would help us in our investigation. "Theo, are you sure nobody else is here?", I ask through my portable radio and he responds almost immediately saying, "Nope. I'm only reading three heat signatures in the facility."
In the process of searching through the building, we continue to come across nothing relevant to the investigation that we are doing. We all meet at the facility entrance. "Did you find anything?" I ask. Rachel shakes her head.
"These people are really skilled at covering up their tracks." Donald says and sighs. We then head back to the agency.
"You guys didn't find anything?" Theo asks and we shake our heads. Rachel asks, "What do we do now?" and I reply by saying, "I suppose we could question Cummings once more?"
"We can't, he was put into witness protection an hour ago." Theo says and Donald continues saying, "That leaves us with finding the identity of the link between THE TRIAD and our average criminals."
"But where do we start?", I ask and Rachel responds saying, "We continue searching for Gina Baldini." "What about the people who attacked the warehouse in Tokyo?", Donald asks and Theo replies saying, "I'm working with Hiro from the Technical department in the Tokyo branch and we're trying our best to locate them but these people are really hard to find."
"If we can find them, we can interrogate them and ask them who sent them to attack the warehouse." We all nod in agreement and get back to work.
After work, Donald drove me home. "I have a surprise for you. Come inside.", I tell Donald as I unlock my door and we both head in.
"What's the surprise Grace?", Donald asks as he steps in and I reply, "I'm going to cook us dinner. While we were in Tokyo, I thanked you for saving my life. You said I should treat you to a tasty meal so I'll cook for us both."
He smiles and sits at the table, watching me cook. Along with the beef ribs, I decide to prepare Chinese fried rice with dumplings as a side dish.
I serve both of us and as soon as Donald tastes it, he smiles from delight before saying, "This is so delicious Grace. You are a really talented cook." I smile and say, "Thank you, I'm glad you really love it."
He grabs my hands from across the table and says, "This is the most enthralling gift ever. Thank you so much.".
I laughed before saying, " You're welcome Don." We continued to eat and after eating, he helped me clean the kitchen.
After that we moved to the couch and cuddled while watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. After a while, Donald's phone buzzed and as he checked his message he rolled his eyes playfully before responding to the person who messaged him.
Upon asking "Who is it?", he replied saying, "It is my mum. She is asking me if I had a good day today?" I nod before saying, "Your mum seems like a very nice person." He smiles before answering, "I am sure she will love you too."
Suddenly his phone buzzes again and his facial expression changes. "Is that also your mother?" I ask and he shakes his head before saying, "Theodore just sent me a text."
It is then that I ask him "And what about? ", to which he replies, "Nessa has gone into labour.".
