Chapter Fifty-One

I was now making my way back into the alliance building, having to drag two very hungover men with me. Both still in blindfolds, but I knew they kind of enjoyed the fact they didn't have to look at the sun. We decided it would be better to stay at the pack last night, the party didn't end until maybe 4am and both Toby and Lukas were completely hammered. But it did give me a chance to see Toby's house and pick out some clothes for me when I visit there. We're making plans for me to stay there but I still don't know what I'm gonna do at this place, I wish there was a way for me to continue to be an alliance agent and stay at Toby's pack. "Our pack" he groans pulling the blindfold off now we're in the building, Lukas keeps his on and tells me just to lead him to the main room. I just laugh a little leading both guys into the main room, where the team where already waiting for us in there. Both guys just walk over to the back of the room, Lukas forgetting to take his blindfold off and nearly walking into the wall. "I see those two had a good night" Morgan laughs looking over at the two men who just slump in their chairs, I just laugh with a nod of my head. "We would have been here earlier, but those two never wanted to get out of bed but refused to let me go ahead alone, that way that could have slept for longer and I'd send an agent over to pick them up" I say hanging my coat up as I went, Lukas pulls his blindfold off but groans at the light. "No, I like to feel involved" he whines before his head drops to the table once again, my eyes move away from him to the board to check for any updates. "Richards phone was switched on for two minutes, we managed to track him down at No territory before it was switched back off" Brandon explains while picking up a folder and handing it to me "I got a few hits on your mother that I thought you'd want to read" he smiles patting me on the shoulder before going back to his seat, I just nod my head about to open the file but the door opens. In walks the director who takes a look at the two guys, before Julian, Brandon and I all stand to attention. She smiles letting us stand down before turning to me, in a sort of sympathetic look. "Hello Miss Westlake, I have actually came here to see you" she says which not gonna lie, made me kinda nervous "it's about your father, as you know you're not authorised to speak to him as he's family and it goes against all the rules here" she begins to say, I nod my head understanding what she meant, it's just to make sure that you don't sabotage the investigation to make them seem innocent just because you're related. "Since you're father arrived we've had agents going in and out trying to get something out of him, but he continues to say he isn't speaking to anyone who isn't his daughter Taylor" he tells me which does make me sigh, I was hoping now I arrested him I wouldn't have to deal with him due to the rules "now believe me we have tried everything to get this man to talk, but he won't say a word unless he talks to you" she says while I look over at Morgan, who was already walking around his desk to stand beside me. "We have to be careful that this isn't a trap, you heard the type of things there were saying to Taylor last night" he says stopping beside me, Morgan is always very protective over the members in his team. "We know, but we don't see another way we can make him talk" she insists while I just nod my head, this is something I need to do. "It's my job to talk with men like him and get information, him being my father isn't gonna change that. He might have information on Richard that would help us get him, before he has the chance to hurt anyone else" I say preparing to get my head in the game, I'll have to do a better job than I did last night at keeping my emotion at bay. "Thank you Miss Westlake, I'll have some agents get him ready for you to interview him, be at the meeting rooms in a few minutes" she tells me before she walks out the room, while Morgan now turns his attention towards me. "I'll be in the viewing room, if you need me just use the signal" he smiles rubbing my shoulder, I smile thanking him before my eyes fall to the guys at the back, who were fast asleep with their heads on the table. Half an hour later, I was stood outside of the meeting room. The agents in there were just prepping my dad, who still didn't know I was the one that would walk in. I was waiting for the director to tell me to go in, I'll be surprise attacking him, not actually attacking him but you know what I mean. The viewing room door opens with the director sending me a thumbs up, it's time to get her plan in motion, I won't give it away to you yet, I'll surprise attack you too. I nod my head walking over to the meeting room door, as I open it up I hear all the shouting and screaming that fills the hallway. As I walk in, my dad was being held up by the scuff of his neck, his hands still chained to the table. "Hey, what the fuck do you think you're doing, that's my dad sat there" I scream ripping the agent who held my father away, he looks at me surprised while I push at him to the door "now get out, it's lucky it's not in a body bag!" I shout looking the agent dead in the eyes, the agent holds his hands up in surrender before bolting out of the room closing the door behind him. "My little Taylor, I knew you'd come around when you saw me again" my dad says as I help him to stand, he was shaking all over as I place him back on the chair "I also knew if I kept not answering their questions they'd let me see you" he says while I walk to the other side of the table, also taking my seat. "No that's the thing, they don't know I'm here and I could get in so much trouble if I'm caught, but I needed to see you" I say lying through my teeth, this causes his face to light up "this is another off the books type of job, I need your help" I say opening up my notebook as I went, hoping if the plan works this will be full of information. "You know I will help you anyway that I can" he tells me reaching over and taking one of my hands in his, it took a lot for me not to pull my hand right back out. "I need you to tell me everything you know about Richard and how I might go about catching him" I say which does make him look taken back a little, no I can't afford for him not to tell me stuff "no you don't understand, I have been trying to track him down for so many years, using so much of the alliance resources. I can tell they're starting to get annoyed that I'm not even remotely close to finding him, I will either loose everything I've worked so hard to achieve here, or they'll take me off the case all together. None of them will understand why I need to find him, he was the one that did all this to me so I should be the one to bring him in" I sigh looking down at the table, some of the things I was saying were actually the truth. I feel him give my hand a little squeeze which does make me look up, he sends me a smile taking his other hand and passing me a pen. "I'm the only other person who will understand what you mean, if you're telling the truth about this being all off books, I'll help you" he smiles which does make me eyes go wide, I don't know why I was so shocked as that's what I was brought in this room to make him say. "Yes it is, the only place it will be wrote down is in this notebook, after we catch him I'll make sure to destroy it" I say putting an overjoyed act on "this way it's like we're both catching him together" I smile taking the cap off my pen to start writing. While he squealed like a pig.
