The Dangerous Family Secrets

Chapter 8: The Search

Terrence's POV

Terrence was always in control of everything around him, but now that there are wheels turning without him knowing, he's ever more on edge, Cindy has proven herself to be a bad girl and she seems to have brought Annabelle for the ride, he thought, he could not believe it when his father told him about Soraya being accused and going up before the tribunal.

Everything on his plate seem so tedious at the moment compared to that, he didn't care about Ryan's truth, Demetrius shaw, Floura Abuta, nor is requirement from his blackmail deal with Soraya.

All he was focus on was trying to find out who killed Antonio Reveara and why, then he would be able to tackle Cindy at the tribunal.

Who could have wanted him dead, Cindy had the most motive and the most to gain, Amanda Islam first saw the body, she alerted every one to it and being that she's from Peru and the Reveara control Brazil, the Islam's could have motive, but that's if they don't know Antonio got married, but if they did know and they killed Antonio then Cindy would be their next target. She would be the only thing standing in their way of territory.

But what was Annabelle's gain in all this, was it just pay back for Soraya shooting at her or did she hold a bigger stake.

No he was looking at this all wrong Terrence said walking over to his computer, maybe this Fits with Tony Buretty's death, Terrence knew others thought that the Vadeem family had something to do with Tony's death, because they were the closet clandestine family to the Buretty's but he was ok with them thinking that just as long as they don't dare to voice it.

So maybe, just maybe the Islam's could be innocent, but all that would leave is Cindy, but Cindy was a total dead end all the lead he had was pointing at Ryan, but Terrence was not ready to confront him as yet but it would seem he would have to if he was going to save Soraya's butt. She does have a nice butt he thought to him self.

Thinking to himself Terrence knew who he was going after and that was the person responsible for vetting the guards in the De. Luca ranks, it was his job to do a deep back ground check on all their employees and that was Lorenzo De. Luca's right hand man Bradley Kross.

Picking up his phone Terrence Dial kross's number,

" hello, Kross it's Terrence Vadeem,

" i know who it is, what can i do for you" kross said

" its a private matter i cannot disclose about it over the phone, could we meet", said Terrence

" well its either you tell me want you want or nothing for i am a busy man, i don't have time to socialize" he respond.

" your going to want to hear what i have to ask you Kross" shot Terrence

" hell yeah, you don't scare me boy" he said with venom in his voice

"Well i guess the name Valadin means nothing to you then" Terrence said in a sarcastic tone.

Their was no response from Kross but he was still on the line. Terrence could hear is heavy breathing that must mean he was either guilty of something or he knew more about Ryan than just his name.

" fine we can meet, where and when" Kross finally responded in a much softer yet timid voice.

" 10:00 am, Wednesday and i'll fly to Italy when i get their i'll contact you with a location", Terrence said hanging up the call.

Sitting in his plush office at Vadeem Enterprise, Terrence was bagged with work, their company dealt in petroleum products, like gas and coal but they also manufactured fertilizer, there were different multiple P.O's sitting on his desk, and other legal documents that he had to look over to make a decision on wether they wanted to be in partnership with those companys, there were also monthly reports from the Production managers and the sales executives and the chief Accountant of V.D Enterprise.

He also had a 3:00 warehouse and plant tour of their operation base has well. And a 1:00 interview start time with a few person who were coming in today, for the role of his personal secretary, because Linda will be leaving in two weeks. She was relocating with her fiance to China.

Rubbing the bridge of his nose Terrence didn't know how he was going to get through all that paper work, travel to Italy, tour, interviews and deal with Cindy and her impudent meddling.

Terrence never use to mind his work load but it was because he could not focus on his task at hand his mind kept flashing back and forth between Cindy and Soraya.

About two an hour later Linda knocked on his office door.

" come in Linda" Terrence respond

" Mr. Vadeem, your 1:00 is ready, should i send them in" Linda asked.

" i have six CV's here, how many persons have arrived" Terrence asked

" four have turned up and one has informed us that he would not be coming in for the interview" said linda.

" which person and who are the arrivals" Terrence asked

"A Mr.Orlov will not be coming and Ms.Belkin, Ms.Markow, Mr.Romonoff and Ms.Volkov are waiting" Linda said

" Ok then give me ten minutes then send the first person in" he said removing the no shows from the pile and setting them in order.

" Sure thing sir" she said and left his office.

The first three applicants were not bad he could choose any of them Terrence though has he waited for the last person to be sent in. From their CV's they had the experience and the basic knowledge to handle the job, but would they be able to handle the work load he though, for being his P.S was no joke, he wondered how Linda had put up with him for so long.

Hearing the door pull Terrence said,

" good evening Ms.Volkov, please take a seat", without even looking up at the person who had just walked into his office.

" not quite" an unfriendly male voice said, which made Terrence look up.

It was a Federal Agent, a Militsiy with Linda trying to stop him from getting into his office,and he did not have a kind expression.

Dropping the CV's and the pen that was in his hand Terrence said,

"Good afternoon agent.............,"

" Agent Smirnov, Adrik Smirnov" he said

" Agent Smirnov how my i help you and why have you interrupted my interview process"

Terrence asked has he sat back in his seat with his hands on his desk to show dominance, for he might be an F.A but this was his domain.

" Im here about Floura Abuta" the agent said

" who?" Terrence said pasting a confused expression on his face.

pulling out a photo from a file in his hands, agent walk closer to Terrence's desk and poked the picture in his face.

" her, she went missing" he said

It was indeed a picture of Floura, but Terrence tried his best not to let the slightest bit of recognition past his face.

" Sorry, never seen her before" Terrence said

" look again" agent Smirnov said,

" why would you be looking for her here, that's what i want to know" Terrence said without looking at the picture again, but into agent Smirnov's eyes.

" our intelligence named Vadeem Enterprise has her last seen location" he said

" well i don't know what to tell you" Terrence said, "but i don't appreciate the way you barged into my office and interrupted my interview process which should have been over by now"

"Now if you not mine please leave" he finished

" we have a source that said you spoke to her the day she was here and she was looking for her son who is also missing" agent Smirnov said

Standing to his feet, Terrence move from behind his desk and walk up to Agent Adrik Smirnov,

" are you accusing me of something" Terrence said has his annoyance started to rise.

" well if that is the case, if you have any other questions talk to my lawyer. Now leave my office"

Terrence said has he ushered him out of his office and slam the door.

Running his hands threw his hair Terrence walked back to his desk an grab his phone from off the paper files and dial Corey,

" hello Mr. Vadeem" Corey answered

" Corey implement code black, Now!!!" He said

" right away sir" Corey said has they both end the call.

Terrence was not rattled by agent Smirnov visit but he was careful, and when one is in the realm of his world they had to be and code black was his way of being careful, it was his contingency plan.

Naomi's POV

Getting out of the house was a blessing for Naomi, walking down the streets bathing in camouflage, a black hoodie with sum jeans and an old Nike sneakers with a bag on her back with a few essentials. Naomi was on her way to London, for it was time to get answers to the questions in her life.

Walking into the Train station, Naomi pulled out her phone and Dial Soraya, but just has the other 13th time that she has tried calling, their was still no answer. It was quite strange to her for Soraya always, always answered her calls.

Maybe she doesn't want to be her friend anymore Naomi thought, after all with all the scandal going around about her, she wouldn't blame her for distancing her self. But no it couldn't be Raya was her friend her best friend she wouldn't just abandon her like that, their must be something going on, but what and if she's not answering her phone it might be bad, really bad.

Naomi paid for her ticket at the service window and then got a seat on a waiting bench has she waited for her train. Pulling her tablet from her bag Naomi went threw her plan once more.

It was easy tracking Samuel, all she had to do was back trace his Ip address and bingo their was his location, she had hacked into his device camera and spied on him for two days. Samuel was a good looking dude she had to admit but his appartment was messy has hell.

Being so focus on the task at hand Naomi did not hear the stranger who sat down beside her until he touch her arm. Naomi was taken off guard she wondered if he had recognized her, slowly turn to greet this stranger Naomi was knocked on her ass. Her stranger was no stranger it was Frank.

Frank was dressed like a normal human been, and he actually looked quite decent, she thought

" hello Ms. Swyffer, are we going some where" Frank asked,

" what are you doing here, how in the hell did you find me", Naomi shot at him,

" I'm here to escort you home, running away won't help Ms.. Swyffer", Frank retort

" running away, who's running away, and you didn't answer me, how did you even find me"

Naomi said in a more whispered voice has she looked around to make sure no one was watching their exchange.

" you have a very advance RFID chip in your ankle, and aren't you running away?" Frank said

" wait what, I have a RFID, how, when" Naomi said has smoke seemed to come through her ears has she felt her ankle",

" you won't feel it so don't bother, now lets go" he said

" go, am not going any where, what am i cattle, dad just thinks he can tag me now!!, without even telling me, and am not running away am just going to see a friend"

" well which ever it is, you are still coming with me, you can walk out of this station or i can carry you, you choose" Frank said,

" this his imprisonment, why his he treating me like a child, am 22 for god sake", she said

" i dont know what to tell you Ms. Swyffer but i do believe the things Mr. Swyffer does is for your own safety, because he value you about all else"

Frank said, which made Naomi place her hand on his and looked at him, his eye did seem concern for her, genuine concern, a fathers concern.

Releasing a sigh Naomi got up with frank and let him lead her to a car waiting out side, once she got in, she was surprise at who else was on the back seat,

" father, what are you doing here?", Naomi said surprise

"When my daughter decides to run away, why wouldn't i be", he said

" i wasn't running away, i was going to see a friend" Naomi respond

" then why didn't you go with your security team?" her father shot at her

Naomi was not sure how to answer his question, she couldn't tell him the truth that's for sure, if he found out that she was trying to find her mom and also the secrets he's keeping from her, she would never have piece of mind.

" ok, you got me, i was running away, but dad really a RFID chip, really, isn't that a bit much and and invasion of my privacy" Naomi said

" you have no privacy has my daughter Naomi, but it was obviously a good idea to tag you for if i didn't i wouldn't have know you were trying to run away" he said

" come on dad, its a bit much, i want it removed, and when did you even tag me?", she asked

"No, the chip stays and I've always have an eye on you" he said ending their conversation and turned to his driver.

" Pablo, take us home" Mr. Swyffer said, to which Pablo did.

The drive back to their home was quite, Naomi had another predicament to worry about now this chip, her father could track her, spy on her and even listen to her conversation at will, she was going to need a plan to either remove it, block its transmission or duplicate its frequency.

Because her dad was not going to stop her from finding out the truth, today he only delay the inevitable she thought, he might be smart but she will be smarter.

And being smarter meant she was going to needed help but who's, Soraya is unreachable and she does not trust Terrence, so her only option is Travis Zavair, the Vietnam clandestine heir.

duplication was his specialty he could make it seem that a person is some where that their not, he was a master of deception and he was the best. And right now Naomi needed the best.
