Talk
"Your sister and brother are safe. We found them on our way here and I have ordered my men to take them to a safe place, so don't worry about them," Ashley said while sitting on the passenger seat while Bryan and Aaron sat in the back seat.
"Thank you very much" officer Ashley," Aaron said with a smile.
"No need to thank me, it was my duty, Mr. Shaw," Ashley said.
"You don't have to be formal with me, just call me Aaron, I would like to be your friend," Aaron said with a flirty smile.
"I would like to have a friend like you Aaron, you can call me Ashley and this person driving here is my assistant his name is Cherry"
"By the way officer Ashley, how did you find us?" Bryan said.
"I have been keeping an eye on you both for quite some time," Ashley said and both Aaron and Bryan looked at each other.
"Why?" Bryan said
"It's a long story Mr. Bryan I want to discuss some matters with you privately so if you are free in the evening I would like to meet you"
The way with which Ashley spoke it was obvious that it was quite a serious matter so both of them agreed on meeting with him in the evening, Ashley dropped them home and left for her work.
As soon as Bryan and Ashley entered their home they saw the worried faces of their members, Diane ran towards them as soon as she saw them and hugged both of them.
"Are you guys okay, are you injured come here let me check" she then dragged both of them towards the sofa and made them sit down.
"Aaron, Bryan tell us what exactly happened " Jordan Shaw, their father asked.
"Grace," Bryan said.
Nothing else needed to be said, everyone understood what was going on; the Grace were attacking them from quiet sometimes but today they crossed their limits.
"How dare those scoundrels lay a hand on my sons, just because we are going easy on them doesn't mean that they can do anything, they need to be taught a lesson" Mrs.Sarah Shaw, their mother, roared.
"Calm down mom," Bryan tried to calm her but it was of no use.
"Your mother is saying the right thing son," Mr. Shaw said "I will look into it myself."
"No dad please let us handle this," Aaron said.
"Yes, dad please let us take care of this matter," Bryan said.
After a little more persuasion both the parents calmed down.
After Diane Made sure that both the boys were okay she ordered the maids to cook some food while Bryan suddenly grabbed Aaron's ear and Aaron screamed in pain.
"ow, ow, ow brother have mercy; please what did I do?" Aaron said.
"Seriously you don't know let me tell you all mother, father while we were surrounded by all those gangsters this brat here provoked their boss and insulted him he didn't care about his safety at all and nearly got killed because of that and when I signaled him not to do that he just ignored it. Bryan said
Suddenly Mrs. Shaw came and grabbed Aaron's other ear and twisted it and Aaron screamed more this made Bryan let go of Aaron's ear "you brat how dare when will you learn to act smartly you have a death wish, always trying to play the hero today I will make sure to teach you a good lesson" even Mrs. Shaw scolded him.
While Diane tried to help her little brother Rafael tried to hide his smile while recording the entire scene on his phone. The entire scene was too funny for him. While Bryan went to the kitchen to make a coffee for himself.
In the evening Ashley came to their house to discuss the attack. Bryan and Aaron welcomed him and the other family members also thanked him.
"So what is it, Ashley?" Aaron asked as all three of them settled down in Bryan's study room.
Bryan placed a cup of coffee in front of her, and she gladly took a sip before signing with content.
"I will come straight to the point, you see I have been looking for a criminal for a few days, but I couldn't find much about him he is extremely smart, after doing a lot of investigation we found that this criminal was related to the Grace corporation and also he was after you both, At first I thought that maybe both of you are also involved with him but after my investigation, I found that this criminal is after your life," Ashley said and leaned back in the char.
Bryan and Aaron exchanged looks and then again looked at Ashley waiting for him to continue…
"I started to follow you guys, I wanted to use you two as a medium to reach that guy, today when I found out that you Mr. Bryan were going to return home I had a strong hunch that they would try to attack you because-!"
"because both the owners of 'Marsh' group were there in the car so they wouldn't have to go through a lot of trouble they would just kill us both together and also my Sister who is the future CEO of Shaw corporation and also Rafael who the owner of the most famous law firm, leaving our company and parents helpless and an easy target for them." Aaron completed.
"Exactly," Ashley said, "but another question that arises is why exactly they are after you?"
"Grace approached us a few days ago and they wanted to do a business deal with us. They wanted to buy land from us but we rejected it." Bryan said.
"May I ask why?" Ashley said, coming forward.
"That is very valuable for us. It belongs to our ancestors and we can't just sell it besides we have some other plans for that piece of land" Aaron said.
Ashley nodded and then again looked at the two "well If you two don't have any problem then I would like to work with the two of you to eliminate this common enemy. Please this person had caused a lot of damage to the society kidnapping, killing, raping, drug smuggling, trafficking, he has to be eliminated as soon as possible"
After Bryan and Aaron heard the list of crimes their eyes became wide they understood how urgent it was to eliminate this person so both of them said yes
"We would cooperate with you officer Martin, " Bryan said.
"Thanks, Mr. Bryan but now that we are in this together I would like you to call me Ashley please drop the formalities with me," Ashley said and Bryan nodded.
"I will leave, for now, I will contact you as soon as I get any lead by that time be safe," Ashley said and both of them nodded.
" I'll walk you to the door," Bryan said
"Mr. Bryan please be careful, we should not underestimate this criminal "
"Ashley would like to know the name of this criminal "
"oh sorry! I forgot; the criminal's name is Jasper that's all we know about him."
"ok thank you, Ashley you also take care of yourself, until we meet again"
"mhm," Ashley said and sat on her scooter and rode away. Bryan watched the officer until she disappeared from his vision. When he came back inside he saw Aaron waiting for him.
"Why are you still up," Bryan asked
Aaron gave him a mischievous smile and said "Ashley is so great right?"
"what?"
"Come on brother, she caught your eye, right? that's why you were looking at her continuously without taking your eyes off her even for a second."
"looks like I have to tell mother that her son is becoming more naughty," Bryan said and Aaron panicked
"Not fair Bryan" Aaron and Bryan turned to look at him "okay, okay I am leaving but really Ashley is really impressive" with that Aaron ran away to his room leaving behind Bryan who smiled a little and murmured "Silly Child" and then went to his room.
