Shattered Bonds: Secrets and Lies

Chapter 37: The envelope

Brittney quickly stopped a cab and drove her to the station When she arrived, she runs straight to sergeant James.

" Sergeant James! "

She instantly entered without knocking. Everyone in the station who saw her were surprised to see her including Lloyd. His heart suddenly trembled. ' Did something happen to her? ' He was about to go after her when he received a call. He had no choice but to take it.

" Brittney? " Sergeant James was shocked to see her, especially all sweaty and panting.

" Sergeant, sergeant! " she takes a breath in before continuing, " I need to tell you something."

Sergeant James gave her a glass of water and waited for her to relax." What happened? "

" Sir, the tip off we got was fake."

He frowned. " What do you mean... I mean how is that possible?"

" The old theatre thing is just to distract us. The real place is the abandoned church." She replied looking very worried.

Sergeant James thought for a while and asked, " How did you know? "

Brittney hesitated for a moment. If she tells him that she was investigating, she will be in big trouble as it is against the rules to go out and investigate on a case without the team's knowledge. So she starts to make up a little lie.

" Well I was at a coffee shop this afternoon and I overheard these two men talking about it."

" How did they look like? "

Brittney tries to remember what they looked like. " Both were wearing black suits, they were..." she didn't see their face that much which made it hard to describe how they looked. "I didn't really see their faces, but they mentioned that master Luth is going to be there."

Hearing the name sergeant James gasped in shock. "No one has ever saw him it's like he doesn't exist or something. He is a master in the d**g world, he is the most wanted person in the country, if we bring him down and arrest him we might have a d**g free country."

Brittney gasped. "So what do we do?"

" We might need more police force on this, two teams. One to the church the other to the theatre in case the information was wrong. Prepare yourself for tomorrow. Call Lloyd for me."

" Sure sir." She got up and left the office to look for Lloyd. Fortunately she didn't have to as he appeared in front of her.

" Brittney! " He immediately hugs her. " What happend? Are you alright? "

" Yeah don't worry I'm okay she breaks free from him eager to tell him the news. "I have something to tell you. "

Lloyd was currently in a rush right now, all he needed to check was Brittney if she was okay. Now he needed to leave.

" I'm kinda in a rush right now, we'll talk later." He immediately stormed in sergeant James office and stormed out within a minute.

Daven waited until the men came back again. But it seemed like the one he was looking for wouldn't be there. 'I guess we'll have to see tomorrow.' He gave up, and on that same moment the man came in.

An evil smile played on his lips. 'Just as I thought you weren't coming you appeared right before my eyes what a magician you are.'

The man was wearing a black suit with a white T shirt, and had a snake tattoo on his neck. He looked simple but elegant, calm and malicious and his appearance stood out. He orders one of the men to open one of the boxes and takes out a red pill that almost looked like a gummy bear.

Daven takes out his phone and captures it. When they left, it was already 9 O'clock. He gets on his car and drives home When he arrived. Brittney had already cooked dinner and she was in her room doing a research on this luth guy.Daven didn't bother eating and went straight to his study.

The next morning they went to work as usual.

" Morning master." His voice sounded like he just woke up.

" Did you find anything?"

" No master, not yet."

That's unfortunate of him as last night he fell asleep 30 minutes before Daven arrived and didn't see him getting in. Now this morning he overslept and didn't see him going out.

" Okay keep a close eye on her " He hung up and got up. He won't be going to work today as he had some things to sort out, so he will only go there when they go to the theatre tonight.

Everything was going normal on Daven's side, nothing much to talk about. With Brittney she was anxious, she was really stressed with how it was going to go. At evening Brittney didn't come home.

This time Daven didn't worry as she called him earlier on letting him know she won't be home early." Perfect."

He made himself a sandwich with some orange juice and went back to his study. As his phone battery was low, he went to look for his charger. When not finding it, he decided to use Brittney's instead.

He entered and looked for it until he finds it. As he was about to leave, he sees the envelop that Brittney carried Very curious on what it was, but very respectful of Brittney, he decided not to open it. But the moment he walks away from it he felt the urge to open it. It felt like it was calling him to open it.

Alright, a quick glance won't hurt."

Outside it had Brittney's full name on it. He opened it and took out 3 pages. The first one was had Brittney's current information written on it. The second one to the last was the history of her surname. Daven puts it back confused by what the info meant. Putting down the envelop he spots a book. Daven casually picked it up without thinking much and opened it.

It looked old and it was handwritten .As he started reading he planned to read a few paragraphs and put it back, but the next thing he couldn't stop himself and kept on reading until to the page where Brittney stopped writing.

It was like he just finished reading the most horrifying book. His mouth wide open with shock. What did he just read? He quickly ran out and tried to shake things off. When it was almost midnight he puts on black clothes and takes a g*n and drives out of his neighborhood.

" Is Lloyd coming with us?" she asked looking around.

" No. He will be with the other team."

Brittney puts on her protection vest and was very nervous as anything can happen tonight. As she prepares, Timothy walks to her.

" Hey Brittney! How you feeling?"

Brittney released a long sigh before saying, "Nervous, scared anxious. I don't know."

Timothy gave of his goofy smile and touched her shoulder. " If you are scared of getting shot, then just hide behind someone. It works all the time."

" You do that sometimes?"

He giggles mischievously " Hehe maybe."

"Arg it suits you. I mean what more can I expect from you? You are just a cockroach." she joked.

" Me? A..." As he was about to argue when sergeant James walks up to them. "It's time guys, Tim, you know where you should be.

"Yes sir." He turned to Brittney and hugs her. " Good luck, and remember what I told you."He winks and left.
