Chapter 13

Ontario, Canada.

Souline's pov:

When I opened the door, two females were both enthusiastic and strange. "Hey!" one of them exclaimed as they threw themselves into my arms, making my face flush. They smelled like old cigars and expired cologne, which was revolting.

"Um," I finally said, trying to be professional, "are you the two clients from earlier on the phone?" "Yes, ma'am, my name is Celeste, and this is my sister, Celine," Celeste said as she entered with Celine.

I returned to reality and shut the door. Alliana arrived, her face expressionless as it always is when it comes to clients, but I could tell she was confused. "Are you our clients?" Alliana asked. "Yes, ma'am," Celine said as she sat on the couch.

"Didn't we talk to a man?" Alliana asked, looking at me. "I had the same thought," I said. "That had to be our brother! We didn't know how to ask for assistance, so we asked our brother to make the call because he's more professional!" Celeste clarified.

"Right," Alliana murmured, "do you mind introducing yourselves?" "My name is Celeste, and this is my sister Celine, and we need your help with a case," Celeste explained. "Nice to meet you, what's up?" Alliana asked. "Well, not too long ago, Celine and I were arrested and placed on probation for attempted murder," Celeste explained.

"Why did you try to commit murder?" I asked. "Well, because this is a sensitive subject for both Celine and me, we were both sexually assaulted by the same man," Celeste explained. My heart shattered when Celeste revealed that she and Celine had been sexually assaulted. I looked at Alliana, who had come and sat down next to them.

"I'm deeply sorry for what has happened to both of you, to the depths of my heart and soul," Alliana said. "No woman should ever have to go through this," I said. "Thank you so much; it means so much to us," Celine said. "Is the man in jail?" Alliana asked. "No way, the detective and court systems are sexist and broken. The judge didn't even believe us, despite the evidence we presented," Celeste explained.

"The man is literally free and is most likely still assaulting women," Celine explained. "Agreed," I replied. "Well, I believe you'd like us to help you get justice and put the man in prison, correct?" Alliana asked. "Yes, ma'am, and we also want the detective and the judge fired," Celine said. "Of course, I can help with this because it's a sensitive topic, and I've also done those cases before," Alliana said, "but the hard part is trying to get a judge and a detective fired for not believing the victims." "How so?" Celeste asked, her brow furrowed.

"First and foremost, we require your proof and evidence," Alliana stated. "We have them," Celeste said. I took out my notepad and started a new page. "Do you remember what the detective said to you when you showed him the evidence?" I asked. "He said it could be anyone's fingerprint and it didn't match the man's print," Celeste explained. "Did he even advise you to take a SA forensic exam?" Alliana asked. "Yes, we did, and the man's DNA was printed on our clothes, bodies, and purses," Celine explained. "Do you have a copy?" Alliana asked.

"Shit, we forgot it in our house, but we can bring it in next time," Celeste said. "Please do," I said. "Gotcha!" Celine said. "We will help you seek justice. For the time being, I'm going to ask my friend, Giovanni, to redo your investigation and see if he notices anything new," said Alliana. "Is he a good detective?" Celine asked. "He's well-known and intelligent; he'll get the job done quickly," I explained. "Okay," Alliana said as she stood up.

"When can we return?" Celeste asked. "I'll let you know when, and please let me know if there is any other news," Alliana said. "Alright, guys, thank you so much for your help; we really appreciate it," Celeste said as they both stood up. "Anytime," Alliana said. I opened the door. "See you guys soon!" Celine said as they walked away. "Likewise!" exclaimed Alliana.

I shut the door and turned to face Alliana. "Would you like me to call Gio?" I asked. "I'll call him," Alliana said. "Those were probably the last clients for today," I said. "I'm going to put the other clients on hold until we finish them," Alliana explained. "So you're not answering any of the other calls?" I asked. "Correct," Alliana said. "Well, I'm going home quickly and then shopping; what are you going to do?" I asked while gathering my belongings.

"I'm going to call Gio, then I'm going to take the day off," Alliana said. "Rest well," I said before wrapping my arms around her. "You too," Alliana said before smirking and hugging me again. I walked out of her house, closing the door behind me. I had a strange feeling before getting into my car.

Flying to Ontario, Canada.

Kai's pov:

Vex, AJ, Denzel, and I were on our way to Ontario. I yawned and sat down in my chair. It was extremely relaxing and soothing. I had my own private jet that would take us places without using public transportation. We had the equipment prepared in the back. It's probably dark for Souline and Alliana right now, and possibly noon as well.

We left Mimi alone with the maids in our mansion, and I'm sure Vex is already traumatized by the prospect of ever feeding her again. He complained about three small cuts that he claimed were "deadly." He was fine after just three small bandages. I'm curious how the plan will turn out—will it be bad or good? Will we be apprehended? Will we be arrested? Will Alliana retaliate? This entire plan seems insane to me, and it makes me wonder about Carlos' intentions.

"So, when we arrive in Ontario, who will take us to Alliana's place?" AJ asked. "I already have an Uber waiting for us," I explained. "You don't think Souline will be there?" Denzel asked. "I'm not sure," I admitted. "You said you knew where she was," AJ said. I took out my phone and looked up Souline's location. I furrowed my brows when I saw the word "unknown." "Her address says unknown; perhaps she's at home," I speculated.

"So, who's going to guard?" Vex asked. "Not you. If you can't properly feed a cat, imagine how horrible you'll be while guarding," AJ stated. "Shut the fuck up!" Vex yelled. "AJ will accompany me, and Denzel and Vex will guard," I explained. "Ew, I'm stuck with this pussy?" said Denzel. "You'd be dead a long time ago if we weren't teammates," Vex said. "Enough! Stop acting like kids!" I yelled, turning around with a scowl on my face. "Whatever," Vex said.

If they keep acting like this, I swear I'll order the pilot to turn off the engines and have us crash somewhere.

Ontario, Canada.

Alliana's pov:

I sat on my bed and took out my phone. I started dialing Gio's number and waited for him to call me back. "Hello?" Gio asked. "How are you, Gio?" I asked. "Hey Alliana, I'm fine, how about you?" Gio asked. "All right, I need you to do me a favor," I explained. "Sure, what's up?" Gio asked. "Today, two SA victims approached Souline and me and asked for our help. They stated that the detective "helped" them, claiming that it wasn't the man and refusing to believe them despite the evidence," I elaborated.

"Seriously? People like them irritate me. How can you not believe someone who has evidence?" Gio asked. "Both Souline and I thought the same thing, and the detective's excuse that "it could be anybody's print" didn't help," I explained. "Did he even tell them to take the SA forensics exam?" Gio asked. "They did, and despite the results, he didn't believe them," I explained. "

That's suspicious; I'll look into it," Gio said. "I'll have Souline send you their contact information," I promised. "OK, I'll get to work as soon as I get them," Gio said. "All right, Gio, thank you so much," I said. "Not to worry! Take care!" Gio said. "Likewise!" I exclaimed before hanging up the phone.

I yawned and leaned back, checking the time and seeing that it was already four forty, almost five. I decided to go upstairs and take a shower before sleeping early. I'm exhausted from today's work.

Ontario, Canada.

AJ's pov:

It took us about two hours to get to Ontario. It wasn't bad for the most part, and it was super quick. We told the pilot to go somewhere discreet where no one would find him and to let us know where he was.

We were inside the Uber, which was awkward because it had been a long time since we'd been on one, especially with a stranger. We put our equipment in a bag and placed it in the trunk. We couldn't even talk about our strategy; we had to text each other.

Vex: Where will Denzel and I stand at?

Kai: The yard.

Denzel: That's a dumb spot, what if anybody sees us?"

Kai: Just hide behind a tree or a bush, I don't fucking know.

Me: You guys are dressed in black, just don't make it more noticeable.

Kai: AJ and I will break into Alliana's house and just do it from there, then once we get here we'll go to the location that the pilot sends us.

Vex: That could be a long-ass walk, especially while holding someone unconscious.

Me: Do we know anybody who lives here that can take us there?

Vex: Just bribe Uber with money.

Kai: Whose going to ask?

Me: I'll ask.

"Hello, sir, what is your name?" I asked the driver. "Michael," Michael said. "Michael, you'll do anything for money, right?" I asked. "It depends," Michael explained. "What if I gave you fifty thousand dollars for your help?" I asked. "Fifty thousand? I can go anywhere with that money!" exclaimed Michael. "All you have to do is wait for us once we arrive at the location and then take us to another location; just don't question it," I explained. "Okay," Michael said. "Do we have a deal?" I asked.

"Yes, sir."
