Chapter Twenty-four:Part 1

Saira SwitzJefferson:

In front of me stands the Desmond and Co main building,tall and proud and I feel like the way the towering building is looming down at me is the same way Zoe and Xandere would look at me,disappointed and amused at the same time.

I wonder why they haven't done anything stupid which equals heroic shit to rescue me.

Huh.

Probably because they thought that of course the trillionaire that I spent days with in Paris,the Eiffel tower being the sole witness of all our interactions would absolutely not come back in a welfare programme,find me,inject me and then land me up in jail.

Well,he did it all of that.

He even punched Matthew.

Those who do not know,Matthew and I go way back in Idaho where we met and I knew his face.
The whole world did.
What I didn't expect was him to recognize me which he did.

So basically two years ago,I was in Idaho stationed to get the stolen documents back and those documents were actually the will of the late Shen Master,the billionaire and trickster.
Her daughter Samantha's a good friend of mine so when she saw some really bad guys left a note and took the will away,of course she called the bad guy.

Me.

So there I was,on a sunday morning,jogging down the streets of Boise after I had successfully gotten the documents back.

It was a piece of cake honestly.

The guards who were in charge of the documents were misogynists and thought of women as only dishwashers and floor sweepers.

That ladies,sometimes gives you an advantage as they would obviously not expect a young woman to not only retrieve the documents but also sent them back to jail where they rightfully belonged.

The look on their faces when they realized they got overthrown by a woman twenty years younger than them made my day.

Anyway,enough of my gloating.

As I said,I was jogging down the streets and I hear a dog barking viciously.

Call it paranoia but our dogs are trained to bark like that when they sense even a trickle of danger or if they can smell drug powder on you so I thought oh!Something illegal is happening and I must join in.

Because hey,my name screams felony.

So I follow the bark and find myself at an alley with two men and a german shepherd.

I am standing what seems like a mile away from them but their whole demeanor changes as soon as they notice me.

The guy on the right stealthily puts a packet into the pocket and I remember thinking,oh so I basically barged in on a coke exchange?

Usually,I would investigate a bit more into this but all four of us including the macho dog were busy staring at each other,silently daring the opponent to move.

So I thought,I am in a good mood.

I will spare them and just as I put one step back,the echo of a bullet is heard defeaningly and in a flash both the men disappear.

The dog is giving me a look like,
if you are smart ebough,you won't follow us.

Then it also leaves me.

A bit puzzled,I stuff my hands into the pocket of my coat,feeling the gun and turn to go back when I hear a whistle.

I stop and give out a long and dramatic-ass sigh.
'You know,I never thought guns were allowed in Idaho.That also in plain sight.'

Turning around to find a masked man(surprise surprise) looking at me with his gun pointed straight in my middle,I scoff.

'You can point that gun down now.'

Masked man cocks his head which looks pretty funny to me since only his eyes are visible and everything else is covered by a piece of clothing.

'Why?'

One word,spoken with sheer authority.

See the tone of peoples' voices are an implication of the person they are and right there in Boise,I realized I had come face to face with a leader.

Well,I wasn’t any less of one either.

So putting my hands in my jean pockets,
I gesture at the alley behind me,
'I am sure if you wanted to you could have killed all three of us.Not the dog,of course.
He is a gem.'

He blinks.

I grin.

He blinks again.

And carefully places his hand over his left ear which,might I add,is also covered,taps and mutters,
'Are you sure this is the one?'

My smile grows bigger.

The Scorpions or some other gangs send someone to capture me.

How sweet.

My soon to be kidnapper seem to be having a fast hushed conversation with the other person on the mini transmitter so I decide to entertain myself.

How?

By trying to do gymnastics.

Took the class,failed miserably.

Anyway,I got his attention alright.

He told me to follow him.

Again with that authoritarive voice.

I said only if you play nice.

He rolls his eyes and starts moving.

After an hour and fifteen minutes of sitting in an open cafe,I come to know that this man is a lot of things.

He is Matthew Fucking Hunter but he is also an unrecover assasin.

To those who are wondering,he lost the disguise as soon as he saw the cheesecakes.

We talked a lot that day,I came to know he was sent by,as I expected,the Scorpions president Gabriel Lafnak.

When I asked why didn’t he shoot me,
he shrugged his blonde hair off from his eyes and merely said,
'I kill those who deserve it.'

Glad to know I am undeserving.

So since then,we have had back and forth communications and it was a start of a beautiful friendship.

He also clicked with Zoe and Xandere which is crazy to think of since,these two are jerks to everyone.

Ethan's a jerk too.

A big one.

Come to think of it.

He is the biggest jerk.

Huh.

Just replace trillionaire with jerk.

Okay,I better go and drag Matthew away from Ethan now.

It's clear they got some beef.

Taking Matthew's arm and looping it with mine,I frown at Ethan,
'I don't have all day.Get me the documents.'

So now we have a sulking trillionaire in the front who occasionally peaks to see if his pretty boy rival is misbehaving with the biggest criminal in the world.

Oh and we are surrounded by employees
who are trying really hard not to stare but failing.

Ah.

Zoe would die laughing if she saw me now.
