166: Sleeping With My Daughter!
Brown was seated in the restaurant reminiscing over the face of Daniella after she saw him. He was battling with himself. Looking at Daniella, she was beautiful just the way she was, though he knew deep down she must be battling some things.
He regretted not being around. 'What if they are using the medicines on her the same way they were pumping it on me?' He thought to himself as he watched Mike's daughter helping her into the car.
'Please take care of her please, just for some time till everything is okay,' he whispered hoping Davids to hear him but he knew she has always loved her daughter ever since Daniella met her.
"Is everything okay?" Asked Mike as he watched Brown in deep thoughts. He had also seen Daniella with Davids. yesterday he didn't see his daughter at the table but that doesn't bother him because she is mature to know what she is doing.
When they had arrived at the restaurant, they were surprised that they were also there, Mike had to ask the driver to act carelessly so that Brown doesn't get in contact with Daniella to avoid ruining the plan they had summed up.
"Please, can you tell Her to take care of Dee for me till we are done with this drama around us?" He asked in a caring tone.
Mike understood him, as a father he feels like he let Daniella down and he is hoping for a second chance so that he can make things right for her.
Mike nodded as he watched him sigh in relief after Davids and Daniella had disappeared from the area.
Andrew walked in with a laptop and tablets in his hands. Today they decided to use one of Marcus private rooms. Though Mike had lots of spacious rooms and basements, that will force him to move another five-kilometre so that they can plan for their grand capture of the illegal business run by Amanda and her family.
"Brown, I will just need some of the important things you remember now, for the rest we will come to them later," said Andrew as he sat opposite him while Mike was at the edge of the table.
"The initiation room, that is the main room before you get your mind all frenzy and ruined. I was seventeen when I got into that room, the first time I when I was molested, I had no memories of what happened but the only thing I remember there was the huge Monalisa painting on the wall, I wouldn't be sure if they still have it because that paint is passed from one person to another," stated Brown while looking at Andrew.
"Don't worry, let's check the ownership of the painting from the years you have started to now, then we will know when the painting got a new owner," told Andrew as he quickly applied his smile to the laptop.
Mike was busy sipping a drink while looking at some documents that Mike had hidden in a safe account before he was shot. Most of the things in that account only showed some irregular transfer of money to different organizations. Each time an organization received money, it was only once and they both received the same amount of cash. This happened after three months.
Mike decided to use the internet for researching the companies and organizations if there are any of them available so that they can send some of their security and interrogators to work on them.
Looking keenly at the name of the organizations, Mike had to read between the lines to make sure that he was not missing anything, "Andrew, what was the name of the organization that Calvin used to work for before he was terminated?"
"Unity Organization," he said and gave Mike a 'why?' Look.
"You are fucking with me! So Amanda and her group have been the ones who sent Calvin to our home? What for?" Shouted Mike while dropping the papers on the floor.
Brown could only feel sorry for him, he was of no use apart from trying to remember everything that had happened firing those days.
Though he was the CEO of the company he had no access to their bank account something he didn't bother asking because meanwhile he was fascinated about working out her things, the office was just a place he could hide from his wife who was a snob and his father-in-law.
"I don't think The Clanks we're ever in a possession of that painting, because the year you started, the painting was owned by someone else in Madrid, and not them," said Andrew showing Brown and Mike the list of ownership.
"It was a fake then," said Mike in frustration.
The other two felt his frustration. It was understandable, everywhere they are searching for, it's a dead-end and nothing is coming up making it hard for them to have a stand on one thing.
The only establishment they had made was the residue of the medicine pumped out of Brown's body. But for any judge, he w or she will say the patient was self-inflicting those drugs and want to claim someone else did it.
The documents that Brown had, Mike knew the first company is not even available on the internet and he is afraid to search the rest because he will not have any trace of them being around the time they were mentioned.
"What if I ask Alex?" Asked Brown fidgeting with his hands.
"Who is Alex?" Shouted Mike and Andrew as they threw him a glance.
"Alex, he was my boyfriend then, he was in the room when all this happened to me, they forced him to do it but he later left because he couldn't face me anymore," said Brown.
Andrew was not sure about that, they don't know how Alex look like and if he was involved they fear that maybe he has been manipulated and won't even recognize him.
"I don't think we can work with that," said Andrew.
"Why?"
"Because, look at your friend here, is this his real face when you knew each other?" Andrew was right, if they were going to look for Alex then it was going to be hard because Brown himself has never talked to him ever since they parted ways.
"Even Natalia changed her name and moved from being a 35-year-old woman to a sweet sixteen school girl," added Mike.
"Who is Natalia?" Asked Brown, "do you have any pictures because that name sound familiar to my ears."
Andrew was quick to pull out a detailed file of Natalia, showing it to Brown, he had to do several spins to be sure of what he was looking at.
"She was my secretary for two months before he was fired by Mr Clank," said Brown.
"Arghhh, Christ, are we going to find anything to help us?" Shouted Mike as he punched his hands to the wall.
"She is dead," Andrew whispered to Brown as Mike was mopping over his frustrations.
Brown tried so hard, closing his eyes, walking to the washroom and back, sleeping bit till they couldn't find anything worth helping them come up with solid evidence.
It was so devastating when you know that someone is doing something very wrong but you don't have the evidence to support your findings so he or she keeps walking free like he is innocent, that is the feeling that Mike was battling with
He knew, if he uses Brown, there might be very many investors who are involved in those drugs and they will move mountains to make sure that whatever small evidence they have goes under the bus even if it means killing Brown for real this time around, that is what they will exactly do.
"You said Emma is Daniella's mother, why don't we talk to her and negotiate, we can use Daniella as bait so that she can tell us more about your organization," suggested Mike after thinking for a while.
"Bright one Mike, we will get her straight away, but that will force us to use the basement, let us ask one of our guys to get her by her phone," said Andrew.
Getting Emma's phone number was another drama altogether, but Andrew didn't hesitate, he hacked into Amanda's phone and got Emma's number but when he tried to locate her location, she was offline.
Andrew glanced at Mike with the side of his eyes, he knew that if Emma was also dead this was going to be a big blow on his face. He searched through the police station something that he shared doing to look of her body was reported and lucky he found something important, her phone though it was broken the only thing he needed was the intel from it.
Asked one of his friends from the office if they can go with him with it and they agreed after being given something small for their pockets.
The phone was brought in, though Mike was not happy with this, he just let Andrew do his work. Looking through the phone, thus realised that the last call Emma made was to Daniella and it lasted two seconds before it went dead.
Searching through the picture, they were shocked with what they saw, naked pictures of Emma, Ananda and Vin in bed!
"What in the hell?" Shouted Andrew.
"Don't be me whole this time I was being fooled in my own house!" Shouted Brown as he saw the pictures. There were a few videos of them engaging sexually. Folding his hands into a fist, he wanted to punch someone, beat the hell out of Vin.
"How could he be sleeping with my daughter at the same time with my wife? Amanda, what the tell, was I not enough for you to put me through this? Did Daniella deserve all this treatment?" He cried on the floor.
Mike didn't know what to do, this was like a sharp knife citing through someone's heart. He knew he wouldn't be any different from him, he would probably shoot someone and spend his life in prison but after the people involved are six-foot deep.
"Daniella sorry, I failed you, baby, sorry I am a stupid father how couldn't I know that a boy pretending to be your boyfriend we all after your mother?" He cried while spreading himself on the ground in frustration.
Mike walked and calmed him down, Andrew looked at him and felt that this was bad for him to see, he could have shown Mike first before showing him. He saw how Brown was broken. It was hard for a man to shed a tear but see him shed tears and sprawling all over the ground it was so deep.
