bullet to the gut
In the documents part of the file the first on was a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) signed by a Kendall, ok so that was her name, pretty name. I scoffed. A NDA does make sense if she is going to be hanging by the gang. Oh god do the girls know her? I could text and find out. I mean they have to know her if chase and her were, ugh, going out from fucking 5 years old? Ew. A snake of possessiveness bit me. The next document was a play by play of her entire life. They had clearly done an intensive background check on her and if they still allowed her to be in chase’s life then of course she has to have no skeletons. So why did Lance kill her?
The background document showed a normal life of a normal girl. No bad history, loving parents, parents were alive but she was here as an out of town student lived with her aunt who was also clean.
Then it hit me. She stayed on the Snakes side of town with her aunt, okay red flag number 1.
I went back to the pictures of her house and teenage years, there was a picture of her and some old uncle with a snake tattoo and even her aunt had a faint scar on her right arm where the tattoo usually is. Everything fell into place.
Kendall was Michael a snakes gang member. She is not dead. Chase’s ex is alive. Then whoever made the mistake of keeping her alive is either an idiot or a traitor.
I picked out the document of the fire details and saw Anderson’s name on it. Chase’s right hand was a traitor? That is not making sense. I have talk to Anderson about this tomorrow, he would’ve known if she was alive if he is the one committing arson. He asked me to keep what I know about him in mind when I read this so, that is what I will do in respect of Chase and his trust in his men.
So as of now, Anderson set the fire cause they found a connection between Kendall and the Snakes, his dad called cease fire but something changed Last minute and that’s why they had to save her. Maybe they wanted her as a spy? But that cannot be true as the Snakes were not in power at that point to be a threat, neither would a cheat in one of the deals cost. The Snitch Killers’ logo was the snake so we referred to them as both, maybe I'm missing the wording on why exactly there was a last minute change. I read everything cover to cover again but it looked as if the ex was killed in the fire, if I hadn’t met her in the Snitch gang then I would have never known.
With so much information processing my braincells started giving up on me, with 4 yawns I made a mental note to talk to Anderson tomorrow and also give Chase a head’s up. But I really didn’t want to give him a heads up. He could leave me for her in a heartbeat. I was not looking forwards to that at all.
The next morning I got ready for a verbal battle with Anderson. I called him to my place and he was expecting this. Today we uncover the truth about everything, even if I had to torture Anderson for it. Maybe.
“Hey, val” he entered my house and saw me not smile so his entire personality switched to business.
I nodded towards the room we have meetings in and made him sit on the other side of the table. I slide the folder towards him, placed a knife next to me and looked at him dead in the eyes.
“what am I missing Anderson. And make this quick cause we have to talk to Chase in an hour about some other plans.”
“woah, okay Valerie, I'm here on truce. And I only did what I was ordered.”
“so fucking spill already cause the way I'm reading into it, you’ve either betrayed your brothers or there is some missing information.”
“okay so. When we met Kendall we didn’t know her aunt was a part of snitches, the snake tattoo was burned off as she was excused off the gang to take care of her sister’s daughter.”
“I know this, I read this. What am I missing?” I slowly asked him
“Kendall was a spy for our gang, she was trained to be close to us and feed information to Charles as they are 3rd cousins or something and her aunt wanted Charles to take over so she came up with this. It took us a lot of years to figure out how they knew about our shipments and prices and when Lance found out he naturally wanted me to kill her.” he said
