Chapter Eighteen

Peter was whisked away back to alliance for help, it was quickly determined that Luisa was indeed dead. All of this could have been avoided if she would have just played ball, but Ricard got his claws in her years ago which prevented that. Brandon hadn't said a word since it happened, once again this is the first time a situation like this has happened to him, the first ones are always the hardest. I was sat at the kitchen table filling out a report, I knew from experience that it was better to do this now rather than later. People from this pack tried to enter but due to alliance agents being involved, no one but us have permission to enter. The door is open again, this time by Morgan and Toby, I didn't know Toby would be given access to this. They both frantically scan the room until their eyes land on us, I knew they were probably worried sick on the way here. "We're fine, I wouldn't say the same about her though" I say looking away from the file for a second and down at Luisa, who lay with a white sheet over her "Lukas isn't here right, one because he wouldn't want to see his mother like that and two, Richard is still out there?" I ask hoping he wasn't gonna burst through the door, he doesn't need to see his loved ones like this. "No, he wanted to come but I told him he had to stay at the alliance, Toby had to join me as he's the Alpha of this pack" Morgan explains signing a document one of the alliance members gave him, he's the lead agent on this case. Toby walks straight over to me placing his hand on my shoulder, but I knew this place was littered with alliance agents so I give him a slight shake of the head. He doesn't seem to care though and keeps his hand on my shoulder, let's hope no one notices shall we. "What happened?" Morgan asks walking around the table to look at the gruesome scene in front of us, the kitchen floor was covered in blood and I mean covered. "She didn't like us being here since we entered the house, she kept saying that we didn't know the real Richard and was very defensive" I start to explain while filling the last page of the file out, once this is done we can all start to move on "then Peter started to give his side and she didn't like that, he was about to tell us the last time they saw Richard when she grabbed the knife and turned into a real psycho" I say signing the bottom of tie document, now all it needed was Brandon's signature. "Peter has been taking into surgery, it's pretty touch and go" Morgan explains which does make me sigh a little, all he wanted to do was help Lukas, but that bitch tries to kill him. I slide the document over to Brandon, which does snap him out of the trance he was in. He looks up at me where I send him a soft smile, as I said the first time something like this happens on the job is the hardest. He takes the document and with a shaky hand, signs his name at the bottom. I turn my head away from him to look at the kitchen, one knife missing from the rack tells me that's where she got the knife from. But as my eyes study the rest of the kitchen, my attention falls on a padlock on one of the kitchen cabinets. I rise from my chair, moving passed Toby and stepping over Luisa to knell in front of it. I don't know about other people, but I wouldn't put a padlock on a kitchen cupboard. "Pick it" Morgan says from behind me knowing what I wanted to do, I put my hand out where a lock picking set was placed in it. I open the kit and set to work picking the lock, in seconds the lock was well unlocked and I was able to open the cupboard. I place the kit and lock down while opening the cupboard, to say I was shocked to see what was inside was a huge understatement. "She was helping him" was all I say looking at the objects in front of me, Morgan questions me taking steps towards where I was sitting "she was the one setting up all the threats for Richard, on that piece of paper is dates and times of where to put each threat" I say as he knells down and witnesses the horrors inside with me, it's crazy no one smelt anything. I'm not sure if I've said this before, but the way in which Richard threatens you is disgusting and weird. He once sent someone a note in the mouth of a dead person, who was later identified as one of his workers. This cupboard was full of bags of hair, different animals and just all round disturbing things. "I need a heap of evidence bags and gloves" Morgan's says to some of the agents around the house, in seconds a bag of evidence bags and gloves where placed beside us. He held the bags while I place all the different items in, wearing gloves so I didn't get my own finger prints on here and also I didn't want to touch any of this with my bare hands. Once we reach the bottom of the cupboard I see a letter, as I pull it out it was addressed to me, Morgan, Riley and Brandon. I take a worried look to Morgan who tells me to read the letter out, not that I was worried about what this letter would say or anything. "Dear Taylor, Riley, Morgan and computer nerd Brandon, If you're reading this it means you've either arrested Luisa or she's dead, we all know there's no way she would betray me. You probably think you're closer than ever finding me, but you won't believe how many people I have working for me. Just because Luisa is gone, doesn't mean that I don't have more spies in this pack. Now you've found this, I'm gonna up my game. You're not gonna like what's about to happen next, you'll be seeing more from me than ever before. Richard" Once I finish reading I just look up at Morgan, he had shock and surprise just filling his expression. Richard has never addressed our team at all, he would have never even seen or known about Brandon until the last few weeks. You can tell this was written months ago, not even that Riley isn't even apart of this team anymore! Morgan opens a evidence bag helping me place the note in the bag. "He said he has more spies in this pack, does he mean some of our pack members are helping him?" Toby asks walking over slightly, not gonna lie I kind of forgot he was standing there. "At this point we don't know, Richard could just be saying that to distract us while he comes up with a more sinister plan" Morgan says placing all the bags in a box, an agent walks over taking the box and walking away "the next steps will be for us to dig into all that information and find out anything we can, we're gonna need access into all of your pack members to see what ones could potentially be one of Richard spies" Morgan tells Toby who nods while his face goes blank, he was probably telling someone to get said pack documents. "Morgan, if he knew about Brandon, he must have got access to the alliance files" I say which Morgan does nod to, but then I remember something "that could have been what shut down the alliance systems a few months ago, it could have been him getting all the information on our team" I say finally piecing it all together, Morgan's eyes go wide but he nods pulling his phone out. "That's good work Taylor, it's lucky the alliance updated all its systems after that happened. Round all this up and head back to the alliance, hopefully Brandon feels better there" he says before walking out the door on his phone, I take a look at Brandon who's eyes were glazed over, poor guy. "We're gonna find who these spies are, no one messes with our pack" Toby says walking fully over to me placing his hand on my back, I look over and thankfully most agents had followed Morgan out. "Come on Brandon" I say helping him stand from the table, he just nods but looks back at Luisa "you did what you had to Brandon, trust me" I smile leading him out the room, he just nods looking down as he went. Now we're gonna have to do what we need to, in order to stop Richard.
