Planning

Blake was working on his laptop when he heard the voices of girls, locking the screen he went out to greet them.

“Hey! you all left early today” Blake’s attire was rough.

“You were sleeping, we didn’t want to disturb you,” Chloe said to him while beating the coffee for them in a cup.

“One for me also” Blake requested her.

“How many you had in today?” Abigail asked him, munching snacks that Blake had left on the table.

“Just four” he shrugged his shoulder while fetching the cup for him and handing it to Chloe, who squinted her eyes at him.

“I don’t understand why we have so quirky people” Chloe scoffed, while all others laughed at her.

“Hey everyone” They all were busy talking when Dylan entered the house and joined them.

“Hey Dylan, Chloe says we have quirky people which includes you as well” Blake wrapped his hand on Dylan’s shoulder and said with an evil smile on his face.

“I didn’t mean that” Chloe tried to defend, clearly understanding his motive.

“Oh yes, Chloe we know what you mean” Kimberly also took part in Blake’s game.

Dylan shook his head smiling, Chloe always gets caught in their web.

“Blake, do you want your coffee or not” when she saw them not stopping to tease her, she blackmailed him.

“See Dylan she is refusing to serve your friend” instead of getting blackmailed Blake involved Dylan in it using his always successful trick of behaving like a victim.

“Abigail?” failing to deal with him she called her with a helpless voice.

“Blake, what you did all day?” Abigail asked him the question, her seriousness was enough to make Blake sit straight in his place, Chloe smirked at him while handing him the cup of coffee, not forgetting to tsk tsk at him, Blake glared at her mentally making note of dealing with her later.

"Blake" Abigail called his name again, to direct his attention towards her.

“Ah, Abigail I did some work Dylan asked me to” Blake stuttered.

“Did you receive the call we were expecting” Abigail login her email and starts going through all the emails she has received.

“Yeah, and he had already given me the work to do” they all were listening carefully, they all nodded looking at each other.

“Do you think it will help us get insight information?” she questioned again.

“For now, no” Blake said with a straight face.

“Nonetheless, I know how we can reach their main database” Blake’s words ran a sigh of relief in her.

“It’s so complicated, we don’t know anything about Martin’s family and it is not easy to get into their house” Kimberly flipped her hair on one side of her shoulder, irritated with so much of security they had.

They all were in their thoughts, to find a way to get inside the Martin Villa.

“Chloe, bring some chart papers, and markers, let’s work on it together” Abigail’s voice snapped everyone out of their thought, Chloe went into one of the rooms in the house and came back after a few minutes with charts and markers in her hand, keeping everything on center table they all sat on the floor around the table.

“We know Charlette, and her sons Marco and Nicholas” writing their names on paper she looked at them.

“Blake, you went to Martin Enterprise, any other information you got or heard that you think we should write it down?” Abigail’s gaze was on Blake who was nodding his head at her.

“Yes, there I met with Derek, her grandson, and have heard she has three grandsons and all are very efficient, also they have a rival since don’t know how many years but he wants to bring them down” Blake provided the information he had.

“Your grandfather Abigail,” Dylan said, when she was making a family tree, her hand paused, and she looked at him bewildered.

Dylan sighed at her expression, he realized at that moment they have to work too much on Martin Family, these people have successfully kept their personal matters away from the media.

“Today me and Sebastien were talking on this case, when I asked from him all the details he has, he said it was announced by the family that Raphael Martin, the head of Martin family’s health is affected after listening to the news of his only daughter’s death” Abigail was quiet, she never knew she has so many relatives, grandfather, uncles, cousins.

“And now?” when Abigail didn’t say anything Kimberly asked the question to keep the momentum alive.

“He is ill, and that’s the only news they hear, Sebastien also mentioned that the family mourns every year the death of Aunt Adele, they donate a huge amount to charity for her sake” Dylan took the last sip from his cup, everyone was silent, tension was increasing in the air, Abigail's silence was making everyone uncomfortable, she was never like this, but family wakes up the emotions you don't know yourself are there inside you, same was happening with Abigail.

“Do you guys believe that her family is behind her accident and wanted her dead after listening to all this” Chloe’s low voice tore through the silence, everyone listened to what she said.

“I asked the same question from Sebastien, he said it is not his conclusion, it’s his fathers” they all snapped their faces at him.

“What do you mean?” Abigail asked, finally able to overcome from her confused emotions.

“When Gabriel was working on this case, he came to know about the reality of Martin family that nobody knows, he said to his wife, Sebastien’s mother that this family is a mess, and many more deaths could be reported if murderers plan don’t get successful”

“Oh stop, I’m having a headache. What is this family” Kimberly holds her head in her palms, the details were upsetting them, if the start was so upsetting who knows what will happen to them when the truth will get revealed.

“Okay let’s stop, for now, Blake we need all information about their family, let’s keep their business details aside for time being” Abigail raised her hand signaling to end this conversation.

“And what about the work he had given to me” Blake raised his point.

“We have to work on it as well, so can’t stop completely, you do as he says you to, gain their trust and dig into their family, I need some information by the end of this week,” Abigail said sternly.

“Meanwhile, I call dad and see if he knows all this and had any information that he kept hidden from me” Abigail stood from the floor and went into her room closing the door behind she picked up her phone to call Charles.

“Hey Blake, what name they have given you?” they all were going to their rooms when Kimberly all of sudden called him and asked.

“Kylian” Blake said to her.
