The perfect encounter

Chaptertwo

CHAPTER TWO

“Paris!!!! Here we come” Allison shouted as they all walked down from the plane wearing all black and sunglasses.

The police department was nice enough to pay for their plane tickets and send a driver to pick them up and take them to the hotel they would stay in.

“Waw” Stephen looked impressed with the hotel room they walked into. It was a suite with two big beds, which were very soft and comfortable, and they also had a balcony from which they could see almost everyone below.

“This is nice, they did their best,” Mark said as the rest nodded their heads in agreement.

“Let's all unpack and get down to business.” Clara opened her suitcase and took out documents about the Blue Wolf gang as the others sat on the bed, waiting for her to be done.

“The Blue Wolf gang is one of the most ruthless and dangerous syndicates in the whole of Paris. They have different; businesses all around, but their base is here, in Paris.” Clara paused, trying to let the information sink in and let them know they were in a serious situation.

“They are mostly involved in trafficking human and drugs; their leader is Don Mike, an American,” Clara continued after they nodded; she spread out all the pictures of Mike, pictures of him leaving a club or entering.

In the picture was a man who looked like he was in his late forties with a big mark that started from under his eyes to his chin which made him look terrifying.

“Just looking at his picture gives me chills,” Allison said, looking at the goosebumps that formed in her hands.

“Don't worry, I'll be here to protect you from any harm.” Stephen wrapped his hands around her, flashing her his cute smile showing his dimples.

“My knight in shining armor” She smiled as she stared into his pretty green eyes and his handsome face. Allison quickly dropped a kiss on his lip and turned back to Clara.

“Are you guys done with your display of affection?” Clara asked with her eyebrows raised.

“Aw, don't be jealous, Clara, you know you have me,” Stephen joked while Clara just rolled her eyes.

“Let's get serious, Mike owns different brothels and clubs which influence people and even government officials come in to have fun and pick any girl or their choice, it is heavily guarded with a lot of securities and only specific people are allowed to serve them.” Clara said.

“But with our brains and wits, we would be able to bring them down, tomorrow, we will all go to the club and see how it is. Is that okay with everyone” Clara asked everyone one of them and they all agreed.

“Okay, that would be all for now, I'm sure you guys are tired, take a rest. I'll go down and see if I can get anything we can snack on”. Clara told them as she went downstairs.

Clara was wowed with the interior designs of the hotel, it screamed of elegance, the chandeliers brightened up the main floor. She walked to where oil paintings were hung on the walls.

“This is beautiful” she traced her finger tips on the painting.

Clara felt someone bump into her roughly making her fall to the ground.

“I'm sorry” A voice laced with thick British accent apologized. His hands were outstretched to Clara who was on the floor.

Clara was starstruck when she saw the stranger face. His body reeked of strength,beauty and danger. She felt his black eyes staring into her soul.

Eliot was in a hurry when he walked into the hotel, his informant told him he had eyes on Lyra's killer. He dropped everything he was doing and rushed down to the hotel.

“Next time be careful” He said in a harsh tone with his brow furrowed together in annoyance. He withdrew his hands when the lady kept on ogling him.

“What did you say?” Clara asked when she heard how rude he was. Standing to her feet, she crossed her arms and looked at him squarely in the face.

Ever since she could walk, she never backed down from a fight and always stood up for herself. She wasn't intimidated by anyone. Eliot looked at the petite lady who was staring at his fiercely with her brown eyes, she tried to look intimidating but he found her cute.

“What the hell” He shouted in his head “Cute” hell no!! He loved Lyra and no one else could fill in her space in his heart.

“Get out of my sight” he said angrily as he brushed her side and walked away.

Clara stood dumbstruck at his attitude, feeling embarrassed with a lot of eyes on them, she quickly grabbed his hands as he walked beside her. Eliot felt his body tingle when her finger's came in contact with his skin.

“Don't even touch me with your f*****g hands” he growled. Flinging her hands away from his, he stormed away with his eyes burning with inexplicable emotions.

Clara felt her breath seize with his aura, his aura was so suffocating and domineering.

“Bloody hell” she muttered under her breath. She walked out of the hotel and saw a restaurant which she entered and bought what she wanted, coming out with four take-away, she entered the hotel as she saw him coming out of the door.

His eyes glanced at her as he muttered a word under his breath, Clara brushed it off and went back to her room.

“Where have you been?” Allison asked, collecting the food from her hand.

“I bought your favourite and the hotel interior is breathtaking, I got lost in the view” She explained, “I need to take a shower, you guys should eat when I get back we would continue” Clara took out her clothes and walked to the bathroom.

She felt eyes on her, turning her head to the direction, she saw Mark talking with Stephen and Allison, thinking it was her imagination, she locked the door behind her.

Mark turned his head when he heard the door lock, when she left to get the food, he had followed her and saw what transpired between her and the stranger.

His heart burnt with fury when he saw how she was treated by the stranger and how she seemed mesmerized by his appearance. She had never looked at him like that.

“Are you listening?” Stephen called out his name.

“Sorry,I was lost in thought, so what were you saying” he asked, paying attention to their conversation.

In an unknown place

“Hello boss, yes, they have sent a new team to Paris, just be careful I'll take care of everything, no pr

oblem”. A man said as he dropped his phone with a wicked smile playing on his lips.
