“The sooner you hug me, the sooner we can get going.” I continued.

Grayson rolled his eyes and walked over to me, I immediately wrapped my arms around him and gave him a hug while he just lightly patted my back. We stood this way for a few seconds before I pulled away.

“How come you never ask Ronald to hug you?” He asked.

“I don't ask him, we hug a lot actually. You on the other hand don't hug.” I said with a smile.

“Okay, we can go now.” 

After about three hours later, he had finally made it to the address I had saved. When we looked around the area, we saw that it was another huge mansion but definitely bigger than ours. We had a few cars following us that we filled with some of our men just in case we needed extra protection. Ronald had stopped the car a few feet away just in case there were any cameras or men that could catch us. He parked the car and so did our men behind us.

“Is this Charles's house?” Ronald asked.

“I think it is,” I replied, opening the car door and stepping out to get a better look. 

“It is surrounded by armed men and I think I can see a few cameras.” I said. 

Both of them had gotten out of the car, we stood in front of the car while the rest of our men were getting their gear together. The place was huge, there wasn't a lot of me surrounding it but there were a decent amount. You would think at least, it would have a gate but I suppose not. Easy for us then.

“I think the best way we could at least get past them is to send a few of our men to attack them while we find a way in?” Grayson suggested.

“Yes but who knows who could be waiting inside, with all the gunshot sound I am sure they will be lured out of the mansion and they will find us.” Ronald jumped in. Then an idea hit me.

“If we lure them outside then we can go inside and look around to see if that is where they were keeping Jasmine.”

“I will gather some men then, the rest will follow us inside.” Ronald said before he walked over to all of our men.

While he did that, Grayson and I made sure to refill our guns. He also refilled Ronald's gun as well. Once we saw our men starting to sneak their ways over to the guard by the door, we knew it was time to attack. I grabbed Ronald's gun and threw it over to him, we all waited patiently until we heard the first gunshot being fired. Watching the scene unfold, we saw some of our men go down, the doors to the mansion opened just while later. Charles ran out with a gun in his hand and soon after, Carlos was following behind him. We continued to wait until they ran to a different side of the building, that is when we made our move and started running over to the doors. Our guns  were kept in our hands as we continued to run inside the open door. Expectedly, there were also some men inside and we quickly shot them down as we ran further inside, trying our best not to get hurt again.

“There are three floors, split up. I will take it from down here.” Ronald said before he ran off. Grayson and I ran over to the stairs.

“I will take this floor, be careful up there.” I said, he nodded his head and ran off to take the next floor.

I looked down the hallway to see many doors, this place could become a haunted mansion with just a few decorations. I began at the end of the hallway I was close to, opening the doors and walking inside to check around. I opened up the closet that was in it and also the bathroom. The room looked untouched so I decided to go check somewhere else. I continued checking the rooms for a good few minutes, and I still found no sign of her anywhere. I opened the door to another room and looked inside, seeing a huge dark bedroom. I walked inside and looked around, this had seemed to be Charles's room. It wasn't decorated that much, the few decorations that were there were all in black. I checked inside his closet, obviously found nothing. I then checked inside his bathroom and also found nothing. I debated on whether I should leave and continue looking or check around a little bit more. I will just take a quick glance and I will leave. 

I walked over to his nightstand table and pulled open the drawer that was there. I shuffled around to see if I could find anything interesting but I didn't, there was just a ton of junk in there. Gosh, he needs to clean up some more. I saw that he had a small corner desk in his room and immediately walked over to it. There was a ton of papers and drawers down on the side. I looked through the papers and came across one that was inside a file. I slipped it out and opened it up, seeing a small photo attached to the top with a paper clip. I took the picture and got a closer look at it, it seemed to be a wedding picture. Charles and his wife standing behind a little girl that was definitely Jasmine, holding flowers. According to the back of the picture, his wife's name was Mary. I continued to look through to see what else I could find, my eyes widened at a picture. Mary's body was hanging from a tree, right next to the picture and with a date that was not so recent. I was guessing that was the day she died. Next picture was also a note, it looked like some kind of suicide note. I read the note and felt sick to my stomach, flipping it over and continuing to see what was in the file. But I found more suicide notes, all different from the last one.

'These are all fake, Charles killed his wife and make it look like a suicide.’

“Find anything interesting?” I heard a voice said.

I quickly turned around and aimed my gun over to the person, seeing that it was Marcus standing at the doorway with a gun aimed at me.

“Just the guy I was hoping to find.” I said with a smile.

“Wow, you are looking for me? You are too kind.” He said sarcastically to match my energy.

“Kind enough to put a bullet through your head if you don't tell me what the fuck you did with Jasmine. Where is she?” He chuckled.

“Looking in the wrong place then, I don't have her.” He said.

“Bullshit, you took her.”
