Chapter 8: Go get my money

Chapter 8: Go get my money

Chief Kaave watched Vill eat his breakfast of smoked salmon on toasted bagels and muffins, topped with cream cheese, capers, thinly sliced red onion, and fresh dill. He ate hungrily. Vill was in a terrible state. His entire body was badly bruised and swollen.

"Mr Adams..." Chief Kaave growled. "You dare to lay your fingers on my boy?" He angrily spoke to no one in particular.

Coco entered the dinning room, in her blue nightie. She walked straight to her father. "Dad?"

Chief Kaave pointed towards Vill. "That fool, Mr. Adams.."

"Dad, you're saying Mr. Adams is responsible for their disappearance, not the other way round?"

"Take the boys to his office this morning and send him home. Tell him to say me hi to my father, when he gets there." Chief Kaave walked to Vill and patted his shoulder. "Get well." He turned to Coco. "Increase the search for your friend."

"Yes Dad." Coco said. She looked Vill straight in the eyes, before she left the room.

Mr. Adam's face was filled with excitement as Coco Kaave walked inside his office. Coco offered herself a seat.

"Thank you very much for accepting to work with me." Mr. Adams said. "That cunt, he double crossed me, but I know, you won't do me like that."

Coco was silent. Her initial plan was to turn her father and Mr. Adams against Vill. She was certain one of the both of them will end Vill. She wasn't pleased with the turn of events. And now, Brandy was missing for real.

"So Coco, what’s next?" Mr. Adams interrupted her thoughts.

"Say me hi to my grandfather." Coco finally said.

Before Mr. Adams could ask further questions, Coco pulled the triggers. Head shots. She turned and left his office.

Outside Mr. Adam's office, stood three of Chief Kaave's body guards.

"Clear the CCTV footage and retrieve the bullets in his body." Coco ordered and left. She headed to one of her father's vans, and drove off.

A nurse was attending to Vill in his bedroom, when Coco knocked and entered.

"Give us a minute." Coco said.

"Yes ma'am." The nurse left.

"Why did you lock us up in that room?" Vill questioned.

"I didn't," Coco began. "Mr. Adams did. Those cookies? I bought them from his factory. He offered to deliver it to me personally. I didn't see harm in it. I thought of it as an innocent gesture and gratitude for sealing a deal with TRENDZ."

"How come you made it to the annual function?" Vill needed more explanation. "How come you gave proper directions when I called from the room that night?"

"Mr. Adams felt betrayed. He said you double crossed him. He alleged, you sent the cops after him. He came to me, to confide in me. He played me his tape of plans."

Coco was getting irritated but she continued. "And as per me making it to the function, don't you remember? You dropped me off and said you'd be back shortly with Brandy."

Vill winced in pain. "You knew everything was planned by Mr. Adams, yet you told Chief I was responsible for Brandy's disappearance. You knew where I was the whole time but.."

Coco didn't let him finish. "Vill please. Let's not pretend like we don't know how much I hate you. I really do hate you. Do not expect any favors from me or expect me to have your back at anytime. I'd happily watch you die and do nothing about it, even if i could. Yeah. Now run to my dad like a scared little puppy and tell him whatever, I do not care."

Coco stormed out of the room.

Vill was silent. Nothing will ever make Chief Kaave turn against his only child. It was useless trying to say anything to him. He just had to swallow, yet, another pill from Coco Kaave.

Brandy opened her eyes to see Mrs. Kaave, staring at her. Brandy, still in her cinderella costume was tied to a chair.

"Send my money back." Mrs. Kaave said.

"Yes ma'am. I will. Please let me go already. You've tortured me enough. I promise, I will never bother you again. I'm sorry." Brandy cried and pleaded.

"This is no where close to what I'll do to you if you ever bother me again. Either by threatening or blackmailing me." Mrs. Kaave threw a tiny piece of paper on Brandy. "Send me my money."

She turned to some hoodlums, and ordered. "Untie her."
