Chapter 117
Anna
As I stepped out of the cab, I made my way to Tim's apartment on the fourth floor.
"Tim," I knocked and waited for the door to open
After a long moment, I knocked again and when there was no answer, I pushed the door open and was hit by the smell of... I wasn't sure what the smell was but it was strong and bordering on pungent but sweet.
As I made my way through the foyer, I paused when I saw Tim and Alice on the couch making out.
Alice was naked from the waist up and Tim was shirtless.
I smirked, rolling my eyes.
"Aghem!" I cleaned my throat but they didn't seem to hear me.
I rolled my eyes again and this time whistled loudly.
The both of them jumped and separated from each other so fast, the run spun.
"Anna, you're here. How? I called five minutes ago!" Tim said, quickly trying to cover up Alice who didn't look the least bit bothered. In fact, she had a huge smile on her face.
"Eh, I was around the area when you called,"
Normally, it would have taken me twenty five to forty minutes to get to Tim's place if I was coming from the mansion. But since my date with Viktor was pretty close by, It took less than ten minutes.
"Oh," Tim nodded awkwardly.
There was a long pause..Too long a pause before Alice spoke.
"You look absolutely stunning." Alice finally noticed after putting on Tim's shirt, thankfully. Her boobs were so huge and distracting.
"Ah, thanks. Went out on a date with one of my preys.
I shrugged, taking a seat on onw of the chairs.
"Preys?"
She frowned.
"It's what I'm calling the werewolves we'll be experimenting our weapon on,"
"Oh, okay. Nice name,"
"Thank you..I didn't know you were going to be here."
"Yeah, I came in last night,"
"Really?"
I glanced over at Tim with a smirk on my face.
"Yeah. I found some wolfsbane and pure iron,"
"So soon?"
"I know my way around. Anyway, Tim tell her what we found out,"
"Right," Tim stood.
"Come with me,"
I followed him into his dining room where a bunch of bowls and liquid were laid on the table.
The whole kitchen looked like it had been blown up.
"The vials you gave me. I tested them. They are highly concentrated wolfsbane mixed with something else that's also highlighted concentrated. Some kind of hallucinogenics."
"Why would they have they just lying around?" I asked.
"I have no idea but this is Potent. I tried it on a rat and it killed itself.
"Do you think it will do anything to these wolves?" I asked.
"I know it will." Alice stepped forward. "But there's only one way to be sure. If it works."
Viktor immediately came to mind.
"Problem is how do we get one of these beasts in a secluded corner to use it against them."
"Good question. Any ideas, Alice?"
"Well, if we can turn the liquid into gas. I think Anna can sneak it into Rose velvet, maybe a Client's room and see what happens,"
"Brilliant!" Tim said, grinning at Alice.
I rolled my eyes at him. Disgusting!
I sighed. I was a little jealous of the both of them. I had always known they'd have the hots for each other but to see them all in love was nice. I liked it.
"Yes but will it have the same effect when in gas form?" I asked.
"Only one way to find out,"
"Alright you do that. If this works then I think I can use it on Viktor and get him to spill his guts,"
"Good idea,"
Alice said.
I glanced at her with a smile.
"It's going to work and If It doesn't, you can Just use one the vials and found a way to poison one of the clients... maybe their drink."
"Uh, no. That smell is way too strong. Get in gas form. At least in that form. They wouldn't suspect anything since they are in they'd be too busy fucking,"
Alice burst out laughing.
"What?"
I asked with a confused smile.
"It's just that you're so pretty yet so vulgar with your worde. "
"That's not the only thing I'm vulgar with," I smirked and her eyes widened before she burst out laughing.
"Eww," Tim said and I stuck out my tongue.
"So, is Duncan back?" Alice asked leading me towards the living room.
"Um, no." I shook my head, feeling a wave of strong emotions wash over me.
I was dreading Duncan's return and not for the reasons I wanted to believe.
I still felt strongly for him. That much was clear when I had thought I lost him.
How was I supposed to exact my revenge if I was in love with the son of the man that did it?
Wait a minute...
In love?
No, that couldn't be.
"Anna?" Alice's voice pulled me out of my reverie.
"Yeah..."
"Did you hear what I said?"
"Yes, yes. You asked if Duncan was back. No, he isn't and I want it that way,"
"You sure about that?" She eyed me.
Ugh. She could see right through me. It was a waste of time to even bother lying.
"No. I'm not sure about anything these days. Everything I thought I knew..."
"I understand your plight. Believe me but you need to think about yourself and not let your quest for revenge destroy you."
"It's already destroyed me, I'm just trying to destroy the people that deserve it too."
Alice sighed, sadness crawling it's way into her expression.
"Well, whatever you choose, just know I have your back and Tim's of course."
"Thanks." I smiled.
"So, you and Tim, huh?"
She giggled.
"Did you influence him with your witch ways?"
"Wha? No!"
"Sorry. Had to ask."
"Has anyone ever told you that you're incredibly blunt?"
"Actually, Azeal, the man who abducted me did. Said I was just like my mom."
"Well, he isn't wrong. Any idea what wee going to do about this Azeal guy?"
She asked.
I let a sigh, leaning back.
I hadn't thought that far yet. My focus j was to get as much information as I could from him and to find out about my mother and father.
"Not yet but I will figure it out."
Alice nodded.
Just then, Tim came out of the kitchen.
"Anna, Sly is looking for you. Says you are avoiding his call."
I turned to look at him.
"Can you tell him I'm busy?"
"No, he's on his way here. I told him you were here."
"What? Why?"
"Because I'm your partner and he said he saw you driving towards my place."
I grimaced.
"I gotta go. Just tell him I left, with that, I walked out of the room.
