Chapter 80: More Investigations
Miles's POV
"You look all drained miles, where the fuck are you coming from?" Mia questions immediately she enters my house.
I've just finished taking a shower, to wash off the feeling of the earlier adventure I had with Belle.
Fortunately, we got to meet the alpha but then he fails to recognize if such boys were associated with the wolverine society.
It's more like a failed discovery and we all had to depart in annoyance.
"Are you letting me in?" Mia's voice eluded my thoughts as I snatched the snacks she brought alone with her.
"Just don't bug me with questions" I complained dragging my legs away from her and then yawning.
"I have to bug you with questions because..."
As she speaks, not a word registered in my eyes except the stomping sound of her shoe as I moved to sit at the dining.
Placing the snacks on the table, I began to devour it.
"You weren't picking up your calls" she began while sitting opposite me.
"I was on a date" I replied as she blew a raspberry at me.
"With her attempting another murder on you" she teased and I just rolled my eyes, chewing the hamburger in my hand with no mercy.
"We are cool now" I posed with a mouthful as she smirked while her hands took out a tab from her handbag.
"So did you look up about her dad?"
"He seems like a gentleman, I could be his little girl"
Really? That's how I taught Cole was until I discovered he's housing the poster.
"Nope, he'd definitely reject you a thousand times" I buttressed shaking the piece of hamburger left in my hand to her face.
"Just a look, will have him on his knees" she jokes as her hands stretched out the tab for me to go through.
I ate the last bite of the snack in my hand and collected the tab to look at.
What I see wasn't impressive as it only grooms more anger in me.
"How can he be so perfect with no flaws?"
"Accept the fact that you intuition about people are wrong" she argues brushing off her shoulder blade like there's something on it.
I bite my lips and covered the tap shaking my head and trying to understand her own side of the story.
"Nope, I'm always right" I countered but she leaned her face closely to mine and said;
"Accept defeat, you're so jealous that you can't be perfect for his daughter"
I burst into a giddy laugh because of her statement but stop immediately as a thought came in mind.
I quickly stood up from the dinning table and raced upstairs to my room, to get something.
I know mia will look surprised by my action but I really need her to look up on something for me.
I returned to the dining area with two phones and tossed them on the table to reach her.
"Another task that keeps you awake huh?" She said quickly understanding my motive and I agreed to that.
"Did you steal them miles" she questioned taking one of the phone to access.
I just acted innocent and then looked away.
"Let's assume I took it just so I understand better the concept of...,"
"Stealing? If you're good with it? That's ridiculous"
"I'm touched, than you for your concern, now get to work" I proclaimed and she smiled at me before taking the second phone.
They belong to Norbert and Patrick. I need to know who's the sly among them.
"Do you like want me to crack it now and say everything in it?"
"I wouldn't have given you if that isn't the exact thing I need!"
"Okay, angry man, let see" she said still twirling the phone around and then she brings out an object which looks like a pen.
"Is it everything you want to see or just a part? That's because you should respect people's privacy"
I hate her questions but I still find myself answering to it as she's the only team I can rely on.
"Do what I fucking asked you to!" I barked as as she twisted her lips and then nods to agree to that.
"How about max, he's meant to be here" I asked taking the fruit juice she tagged along.
She raised her head and brighten her smile.
"He's on vacation"
"What!" I yelled frustrated by the team I fell into as they seem to be the most unserious team mate.
"Who goes on a vacation when we are working on a case? And why didn't he inform me?" I scrowl losing my composure but she looks relaxed and shoved phones aside to speak to me.
"He just sent you a message" she said using her eyes to direct my attention to the phone.
My phone was on the table and I guessed the vibration made her think it's max.
I didn't even want to look at it as it must be a silly excuse to why he couldn't make it.
"I think I should fire you guys and employ more people with enthusiasm to do the work"
She purr as then sniffed, trying to hide her laughter.
"Oh you mean the new employees who'd taunt you and take everything from you and still sell your ideas to the very wolves we seek for"
I threw my head to back and then snapped my fingers to bring her back to where we were.
"The phones, it's important, to check it out"
"Yeah, thanks for the reminder" she said returning her focus back to the phones.
I was eager to know who is a member of that boy band and keeps sabotaging belle's plans.
While watching her do her finding on the gadget, I received a message from Cole.
He ask us to meet and I feel too tired to even move a muscle.
With contemplations in my heart and not wanting to miss this opportunity of finding out what's hidden in those guys phone, I intended to ignore.
However, it's like he could read my thoughts and the next message that flows is;
"Dad is dead"
