Inside a dimly lit room, four people were gathered around a table, Amanda was seated facing the rest three, Vin, Mr Clank and a man in his late fifty, he had his shades on though they were inside the house. Amanda stood and faced the pictures that were on the wall, a string of rope was crossing the pictures. It looked like a map placed on the wall and someone was trying to find the direction to a certain place but it was hard, so he used a pin and red string to mark all the important places.
The main three pictures that were on the wall were those of Mike, Davids in the middle and Vicky on the sides, they filled the wall with those of Andrew and Brian scarcely spread. On the far end, there was a picture of Damien and Clara and below the picture of Davids, there was a picture of Daniella.
Some descriptions were given after every picture, the recent description that was added was that Vicky was in the hospital but didn't suffer any fatal injury. Non-sticky notes were all over below the pictures.
There was no new addition of description on Davids' or Mike's pictures.
"What did the two find from the house?" Asked Mr Clank as he went through several files that were seated on the table.
Opening her laptop, Amanda projected the pictures to the wall, "these are the documents."
"Jesus, do I need some magnifying glasses to read them because I can't see anything there," said the man in shades.
"Paul is right, I am seeing nothing, what are these documents about?" Asked Mr Clanck.
Amanda looked at the wall and she couldn't see them either, trying to zoom them, it became hard and they were all blurry to look at them.
He had to look at the pictures herself because when she looked at them they were visible but these are too blurry to be looked at.
Vin laughed at her, he had changed the documents because the documents they received were just some delivery made in the Black's company and it was not going to help anything.
He hated the fact that things are goo g this way, he wished they could have just blackmailed the Black's instead of doing all the bullshit of kidnapping everyone from the family.
"Amanda, even one thing you can't do it right? I thought you called us because you had some important information, not some fucking blurry pictures that don't even make sense at all!" Shouted Mr Clank.
Amanda threw her glaze at Vin who was busy on the table scratching something on the table, she knew he must have done something to have the pictures so blurry, Vin assumed her and went on to look at the table before sipping his drink for the table.
"I think the pictures were groceries bought the previous day, and nothing important," said Vin when he saw Amanda trying so hard to come up with something to say but couldn't.
"Jesus, are you guys serious? We want to get these guys after the graduation, and right now we don't even have a plan for that, what will grocery shopping do to us, to make me see that they get cheese and expensive wines from the stores?" Shouted Paul.
Every eye was focused on Amanda who threw her glance at Vin. She didn't know what Vin wanted but he was not escaping this, 'you think you are going to marry lady boo, am ticking sorry because you are only going to marry my daughter whether you like it or not!' Swore Amanda under her breath.
Vin looked at her and she gave him the smile that faded on her lips.
Amanda looked through her laptop, this was not the day things are not going to end this way, she had a plan in her head and that is the plan that they are going to use.
"I have a plan," she started and Everyone turned their eyes on her.
"To kill us or drown us in your misery?" Asked Mr Clank as he swiped something on his phone.
"After graduation, everyone had the after-party celebration and just like the little party they had after the prom night, they win organize a celebration. Probably we will have lots of guests because the family is well known, Mike's friends might want to come and other business associates. That will be the best opportunity for us to use. We will allow Daniella to go to the ceremony and monitor her phone, or even monitor her phone when she goes to school or when she talks to Davids and if they will be looking for a catering company or people who want to work as caterers we will get one of our own and make sure she is the chief chef, tale food to specific people and that's where we will include the food poisoning that will allow them to have an for some hours before they wake up, after the party, we will a duct them and the final meeting where we are expected to use them as lab rats to show our investors that the medicine is working and they are volunteers who wanted to be tested on the drugs."
"All that because you feel they are the biggest threat in your life, Amanda?" Asked Vin without meaning to say all that.
Everyone on the table turned his gaze to him, he looked down because of embarrassment, he knew they were supposed to be on the same level as they wanted to get rid of The Blacks.
Of late Vin jas started to lose interest in the program that has taken almost a decade, he has lost interest in The Clank's people who are not satisfied with what they have, they keep investing in different ways of hurting people, scamming them of their cash and he feels like he didn't want to be part of it anymore.
He understood that Daniella didn't love her and it was all just to force her to be obedient in the family, when she sees her, she always wants to kneel and make her beat him, hurt him for the bad things he jas done to her, the bad things, painful things he has done to her but he fears that if Amanda and Mr Clank find out about it things are going to be worse for him.
He didn't want to be turned into a lab rat, he knew what happens there, most people have died because they were trying to come up with the perfect medicine to cure tiredness and face changing. He jas seen many families lose their loved ones because their faces were changed. Some of them have suffered from dissociative fugue.
"Vin, are you still with us or do you have a better idea than the one suggested?" Asked Paul looking at him.
"Sorry, I just wanted to reason out, Amanda you are trying to rush the process instead of just letting things calm down, the family finest know who got Mrs Black and they will have to get to the bottom of the truth. I can say you are being led with jealousy and hatred towards the family. Sir, have you ever seen her happy ever since they moved during the summer? It has only been seven months since they moved but you have not been happy because someone else is famous and not you, try and throw your anger and jealousy aside and focus on what we have, what is the goal, do you need to make things go in a hurry just let them complete the graduation, you can even look for the same face as Annie their maid and she will be in charge of drugging them," said Vin.
Mr Clank nodded to his words, he had a point, they might be rushing everything and it won't be grand the way she wants it to be, the only way they can do it is by making sure things have calmed down and nothing is being suspicious.
"At least you have meaningful words, I thought you wanted to go against us now that the program is almost upon its last phase. What about we try and monitor when they go for the groceries maybe the pictures were useful so we will monitor when they bring things in and when they don't or simply, what they do," said Paul.
Everyone else nodded except for Amanda, she was left thinking what was Vin aiming at, 'I hope you don't have another deal planned on how you are going to make this all about you so that I may be evoked from the CEO seat,' thought Amanda before nodding in an agreement.
"I think that's for today, you better give me feedback by the end of next week after the graduation, maybe your asshole of a daughter would have told her girlfriend the last goodbye before she becomes somebody,' said Paul sarcastically making Amanda's feel anger walking in her body.
