Chapter Twenty-Seven

I thought the outside of this huge mansion was elegant, it does not compare to how fancy the inside looked, whoever owns this place is really rolling in the money. Toby continues to lead me further into the building, many people were stood around in fancy clothes, drinking fancy drinks, probably talking about fancy things. This place was packed with people everywhere, it reminded me of the lunch hall back at the alliance I avoid like the plague. We soon arrive in a gigantic ballroom, the walls were gold with balconies up the top. This place was even louder than the halls we just walked down, this is gonna be fun, eye freakin' roll. "Are my eyes deceiving me, Toby?" A man just across the room says astonished, Toby stops in his tracks looking over at the man with a smile on his face "you're the last person I thought I'd see here" he smiles as we walk over and stand beside him and who I'm guessing is his mate. He wore a black suit, with his hair slicked back so it was neat and put away, a little too much hair gel used in my opinion. Stood beside him was a women, who looked about my age in a purple knee high dress, she had blonde hair with bright blue eyes. She looked rather nervous to be here, but I can't blame her this place is pretty intimidating. "I'm full of surprises, Jason this is my mate Taylor" Toby smiles introducing me after doing that weird guy handshake, Jason smiles bowing his head slightly at me. "It's lovely to make your acquaintance Taylor, this is my mate Jasmine" Jason smiles turning to his worried looking mate, I send her a reassuring smile before Jason speaks up again "finally he's found you, in school he would always go on and on about finding his mate" Jason says which causes me to turn and look at Toby with a smile, Toby's cheeks get a little red as Jason continues. "The day he turned sixteen, he was panicking that he didn't find you on that very day, he kept asking me if he just didn't get a mate" he says which does make an aww escape my lips, that was really sweet. "Don't read too much into that" Toby mind-links me as Jason continues to talk, aww is Toby embarrassed? "Too late, I already read the whole newspaper"I reply soon after a smirk forming on my lips, he looks at me slightly but turns back to look at Jason. Now we were acting like everyone else here, I can start to get down to the real work. I began to scan my surroundings, as I said this ballroom is gigantic which means it's easier for the people I'm looking for to blend in. The ballroom itself was too full of people to make anyone out, so I glance up at the balconies above and that's when I see a group of men. They were all stood in a group looking at all of us down below, some were pointing at different people. My eyes soon go back to Jason as they turn to look at us, once I couldn't feel their eyes on us anymore I look back. One goes into a different room, while the rest move away and walk down the hall. I think it's time I investigate. "I'll be back in a second" I smile looking up at Toby who sent me a worried look with his eyes, he knew what I was about to start doing "I won't be long" I smile when he doesn't go to release my hand from his arm. He nods his head slightly allowing me to pull away, I send them all a little smile before walking away and to the side. I needed to find a way to get onto that balcony, it's obvious that us guests aren't allowed up there which just tells me, it's a hiding place for something. I walk along the edge just searching for a way in, when about five feet in front of me the guys from upstairs walk out of a door. They stand outside of the door for a second, before dispersing off in twos. I take this as my opportunity to run over to the door, the idiots had left the thing unlocked, these people wouldn't be very good spies. I walk through the door closing it behind me, right inside the door was a huge staircase hopefully leading up to the balconies above. I hold my dress up at the front and begin to quickly climb the steps, my heels making the journey a little louder than usual. After around twenty steps, I reach the balcony where I could see everyone below. I soon clock Toby, he was scanning the button floor with a worried expression on his face. The door opening causes me to move away from the front and hide around a corner, the man that walked alone in the room walked out and passed me. He soon disappears down the steps that I went up, once I hear the door close at the button of the steps I emerge from my hiding place. I quickly walk over to the door he walked through and thankfully, that too was unlocked. I slip inside the room and close the door behind me, to discover an office like place. There was an old style desk in the middle of the room, with two filing cabinets with either side. There wasn't a computer in sight, Brandon would hate this place. I walk further into the room and over to the desk, I open a few of the draws to find they were empty and in one was the rent to this place, as I said these people are rolling in the money. I than move over to the filing cabinet, but when I attempt to open it, it was locked. This is the first thing that I've found to be locked, there has to be something they don't want me to find in there. I take one of my Bobbi pins out of my hair and begin to pick the lock, which was harder than I first thought. "Please hurry up, I don't like the thought of you being alone in a place like this" Toby's voice says in my head, I just smile as I fully unlock the filing cabinet. "I'm fine, I was doing things like this before we even met, I'm not the senior field agent on my team for nothing"I reply still rather happy that I was given that tile, I have the right to brag a little bit right? I place the Bobbi pin back in my hair before opening the cabinet, which was full to the brim with documents. I skim through the labels until I land on one, M.S.P. This probably holds all the information we need, I immediately take it out and place it on the desk in from of me. Under the letters M.S.P were what the letters stand for, Money, Security and Protection. As I continue to read on I get a sense of what this place does, they offer a whole package to people of well what the tile stands for, a very illegal way of doing things. I pull my phone out my bra and start to take pictures of all the documents in front of me, I need to send all of these to Brandon. Once I had taken photos of the huge document, I send it over to Brandon before putting the file back. As I place the file in, another one catches my eye. I pull it out to see Richards name on the top, I open it up to see a list of different names. A bunch were crossed out in red pen while the ones at the button wasn't, when reading down the names I recognise some. The ones that were crossed out are the people Richard killed, this is his hit list. I pull my phone out taking a photo of the list before I hear walking. I place the document back in the cabinet before closing it and hiding under the desk, once I was hidden the door opens someone walking in. Whoever it was takes a seat at the desk I'm sat underneath, I push myself up quietly against the desk as he begins to look for something. Oh no.
