CHAPTER 166
Liam's POV“I know what I'm telling you!” Tobias snapped impatiently. “Blackwood was behind it!”Tobias was really serious but I on the other hand didn't really know what I wanted to believe. Here we were in the abandoned warehouse but sitting on the roof in the evening.Tobias had just finished telling me all about his investigations and how he believed that Blackwood was behind my father's disappearance too.I had never put much thought into my father's disappearance. He had disappeared before I was born and nothing was heard of him since that day. He was dead no doubt I really didn't know why Tobias was digging into this now.“I have people who are into the Blackwood network.” Tobias continued. “I had them discreetly investigating on the inside but Blackwood knew. Immediately he did, those people disappeared without a trace too and he was coming for me! I'm lucky, Charles got to me before they did.”“What's that?” I asked with my eyes fixed on the horizon where a car was approachin
CHAPTER 165
Ryan's POVI immediately turned around to see the secretary reaching out her hand to hit the button that would immediately transfer the call to the father's line.I reacted before thinking twice. It seemed as if my body had reacted on its own. One moment I was standing there and the next moment I dashed to her desk and disconnected the call before it could go through.“Mr…Mr Blackwood?” The secretary stared up at me in shock. “Don't do that!” I said. “Pardon?” The secretary asked.“I'll take that call,” I said. “My father is busy now. Transfer that call immediately to my office.”“But..”“No buts!” I snapped at the secretary. “Do it now!” The lady was startled but quickly nodded.“What's going on?” Melissa frowned.“Wait here,” I told her. “Something I need to take care of.”Without waiting for her to ask more questions, I darted into my office, my former office where I worked until my father cruelly pushed me out to ride a cubicle.It didn't take long before the intercom rang and
CHAPTER 164
Ryan's POV“Ryan. I didn't know you would be here this early.” Father spoke up and motioned to a chair. “Have a seat, will you? You came right in time.”The seat he pointed at was the one right next to Melissa! That snake!For a moment I remained at the door in paralysis with my eyes locked on Melissa's. She was really here! She was really sitting here at Blackwood Corp in my father's office!“Hello, Ryan,” Melissa called sweetly to me.I said nothing.If Melissa was here and was talking to Father, what would stop her from spilling the beans that I was working with Liam?!“Are you going to come in? Or are you going to stand there?” Father asked.I had no other alternatives now. I knew fully well that to turn back and leave the room would be to clearly declare that I was officially against my father which was something I didn't want him to realize.I slowly dragged myself into the room and dropped into the empty chair beside Melissa's.“I don't need to introduce you to Melissa here,” F
CHAPTER 163
Ryan's POVBLAM! BLAM!!I had dozed off when the shots abruptly got me to my feet immediately as well as everyone else! We were compromised! They were coming!Charles, Hans and Locke immediately hurried out of the house with their weapons drawn. Seriously, what were they going to do? Shoot at the feds? That was a really stupid move!I didn't know what to do so I hurried out after them. Liam was already down from the roof and staring out into the night.“Where are they? From which side are they coming?!” Locke asked quickly.“Just one person,” Liam replied uncertainly.“One person?” Charles furrowed his brows.“In that direction.” Liam pointed into the night. “could be Scratch!”Hearing that name alone sent icy-cold dread like a dagger through my heart. That man just wouldn't stop! We had seriously wounded him that day at Melissa's house but he had escaped and nothing was heard of him again.“Are you sure about this?” Locke asked. “Well, not particularly but I'm sure a man was hiding
CHAPTER 162
Liam's POV“Mason!” I exclaimed. “Mason Wells?!”I had dedicated a lot of time searching for him. I had gone through all the nooks and crannies. I came across just to find Mason but I must admit that I never really believed that I'd ever find him but here he was!Mason didn't smile or anything. He looked even weaker than Hans and appeared to be jumpy with his eyes darting here and there in fear. I understood that he would take a while to recover from the horror he's been through or perhaps he might never recover.“I found it in one of the Blackwood's secret warehouses I raided,” Locke explained. “The boy had been kept for a long time for reasons we don't really understand and he was lucky I found him that day. You see Liam, most of us have been busy too.”I nodded in acknowledgment. Locke had done perhaps even more than I had ever done and I was grateful for that. I was happy that he had given his all to fight the corrupt system that had stripped him of his position when he chose to b
CHAPTER 161
Liam's POVI immediately rushed forward as a result of Sarah's screams with my hand instinctively pulling out the pistol from my waist. Ryan was right behind me too.I immediately pushed Sarah protectively behind me and stormed the house with a gun at the ready.There was no one in sight.I quickly scanned the room, looking for any unwanted host who might be hiding but the place looked like we were the first people to step foot in it for a very long time.“What the matter?” Ryan asked nervously behind me.“I.. I don't really see anyone..” I replied uncertainly and took a daring step closer and then it hit me.There was a lot of equipment scattered around the room as if it was an abandoned laboratory but that wasn't what made Sarah scream. In the far corner of the room was a table and on that table, a man was tied or rather what was left of a man. The flesh had completely rotten and the clothes were just bits of rags now.I frowned and looked around the room taking in the rest of the
