BLIND:The Arranged Marriage

The Thief Hunt

Lucas got a call very early in the morning. It was one of the people he had left his business card with to call him if they take sight of the sniper accountant. The person had informed him that his target had been sighted. He got dressed quickly as Noah awaits the result of his search the day before. When he arrives at his destination, he got out of his car and walked briskly into an old building which is a motel. It was situated in the rural area and the motel seems cheap because most of the people that comes in and out of it are mostly homeless people who had earned their keep and wanted to enjoy a bit of house warmth.

“Excuse me” Lucas said to a woman rashly chewing on a gum, who was sitted behind a counter. The woman looks up at Lucas and then her eyes looked him up from head to toe before returning her gaze back to his eyes. Lucas knew why she did that, he knew she must have been wondering why a man dressed in a tailor-made suit be doing in a shabby environment they were in.

“Do you have any Mr Doyle on your visitor’s list please” Lucas said when he heard the woman say nothing.

“Run off pretty boy” The woman said and diverts her attention back to staring at her phone screen. Lucas knew exactly what the woman wanted as no information was for free. He dips his hand in his breast pocket and brings out his wallet. He opens it and counts out fifty dollars. He stomps the cash on the counter which called back the attention of the woman. The woman looks at the money and then back at Lucas before stretching her arm to take it. She opens a book which Lucas assumes to be the visitor’s list journal and her eyes scans the last page for a bit before shutting the book close.

“Room seven” the woman said and Lucas mutters a thank you. He walks pass her to a corner leading to the hallway of the motel. He looks at the room numbers while he walks on until he reaches room seven. He sighs before knocking on the door.

“Who the f**k is it” Lucas heard Mr Doyle’s familiar voice. The man sounded angry like he was being disturbed while in the middle of doing something.

“It’s the room services” Lucas said in a less deep voice in other to not arose suspicion in Mr Doyle.

“When the f**k did this hellhole provide a room service” Lucas heard the man said. His voice was getting nearer, Lucas knew his target will soon get the door opened and he prepares to kick the man’s ass.

He sees the door knob moving and he gets more closer so he could catch the rat’s arm in his grip at once. As soon as Mr Doyle opens the door and sights Lucas, he wanted to slam the door but Lucas was more stronger than him. It didn’t take Lucas any time or strength to get Mr Doyle caught in his hold.

“f**k !” The man cursed as he panicked while he struggles to get his hand away from Lucas.

“Mr Doyle, you will come with me right now with no force then will your sentence be reduced” Lucas said in a very calm voice that infuriated the man but he knew the consequences of disobeying his words so he stopped struggling to get out of his hold and looked apologetically at Lucas.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t wanna do it, that b***h made me do it” Mr Doyle pointed to the bed and that was when Lucas notices there was a woman underneath the covers. As soon as she knew she was caught, she peeps out from under the covers with her hair frizzled. Lucas looks back at Mr Doyle and realizes he was half naked. Lucas scowls as he gazed at Mr Doyle. What had him upsetted most is the fact that he had gone around searching for him while he was having a good time with a w***e.

“I still have 70% of the money, I can take you to where I had it hidden, how about you let me go this time and I promise, I will never appear to your front ever again” Mr Doyle begged. He knew he was in a hot mess if the CEO, Noah sights him.

“Oh Mr Doyle, I could do that” Lucas said and a smile was arising on Mr Doyle’s lips before Lucas completes what he had actually wanted to say. “But you made me go through a hell of a search for you and besides the CEO won’t be in agreement with that” the smile died down on Mr Doyle’s face as different imaginations clouded his mind.

“Come on, I need to go to work” Lucas said and with his hand still holding him still, he dragged him out. As they pass the receptionist, she stares at both of them uninterestedly and resumes to staring at her phone screen.

Mr Doyle was embarrassed as he was only in his boxer briefs. He could run off but he dared not to because of the repercussions. He curses the w***e who had made him act foolishly as he recalls how stupid he was to make the decision of stealing from the company fund.

Lucas sits him in the seat beside the driver’s seat and closes the door before going off to sitting on the driver’s seat. Lucas thought of the best place to take him first to avoid Noah’s wrath. He starts his car after deciding on where he was headed. He had decided on going straight to the police because he knew Noah might probably end up killing the man if he takes him to Noah first, knowing Noah is short-tempered. He had also decided only to make a call to Noah after the man is already locked up. He couldn’t afford dealing with the news of his boss murdering his worker.
