Refrigerator

Jessie's POV:

Derek and Damon glanced at each other but didn't press further. Damon strode down the corridor to the next. All the views were so fascinating.

"What about the security cameras?" I gasped as I suddenly remembered.

"You guys are secure, I hacked into every one of them. Nobody knows you're present." Said, Leo. I sighed, relieved.

We hid behind the wall, I peeped through it to check the guards.

"They look more like bouncers than professional security men to me," I whispered.

"Can you stop underestimating these men Jessie?" Leo asked.

"C'mon, you're also seeing them as well. It's hard not to." I contorted.

"Let's go," Derek said, and we all walked out of their hiding place. The security men, alert, turned immediately with their weapons towards us. Well, that was fast, but would they kill me, a pregnant woman? Yeah, I shouldn't underestimate them. They could.

"Let me take it from here?" I said, adjusting her clothes, I guess, cause my spy camera quaked while she dusted my clothes. They noticed my bump.

"You brought you in here?

I walked towards the men. Wearing my professional voice, eyes narrowing observantly. The first two men, as I observed, could be easily deceived. As tough as they looked, they weren't fit for this kind of job. The other two were alert, but judging by their figures, they weren't so fit. And these are security men?

"Gentlemen, there is no need for weapons. I came here to meet your boss. You know, he kind of is responsible..." I looked down at my belly.

"Responsible for what Jessie?"

"And when I couldn't find him in his office, I decided to walk around. Perhaps I could see him somewhere, but unfortunately, I lost my way." I lied.

One of them looked behind me. "And who are those?"

"Oh, them, they are my guards. I need protection too don't I?" They believed.

"Mr Mendez isn't home at the moment. Perhaps I should put a call through to him." My eyes widened.

"I'm on it, don't quiver." I could imagine him rolling his eyes. We heard a phone ringing. "Oh Mr...yes, yes sir, we'll do so sir." He stepped aside and I walked in along with Derek and Damon. I knew that his room was here somewhere. I looked around and saw a door before opening it up. Then I entered, searching for clues or something valuable to use against him. There was none. I went to his desk and saw something displaying on the screen.

"Wow, he has been doing this for so long hasn't he?" I questioned before bending down to check for some documents. He had to have some important information about him here.

"What are you doing?" I heard Leo ask.

"Searching for information duh."

"That isn't what we're supposed to be doing Ms. You're supposed to give me access to his computer.' He explained. "You would have known that if you were listening."

"Whatever. I sat on the desk and typed. Yeah, he taught me some things about hacking. "You're in."

"Yeah. My goodness. He has done a lot of shit."

"What are his plans?"

"Yes, he has always been after Elena. But then with Augusta... his intentions don't look pure enough towards her."

"She got herself into it, believing he was a good person," Derek stated nonchalantly as he came to the laptop. "What the fuck I'm I seeing here? When did I ever deceive her? Fuck, he is spilling lies to her like he was born that way. And he is saying shit like he knows everything, just to fucking make her believe him. I don't play those kinds of games. And she fucking believed him? I think Elena's not the only endangered person there. Augusta is too. She's going to be the scapegoat. He's only using her to get what he wants, deceiving her to make it seem like he's in love with her. He's even deceiving himself." Derek explained.

"How do you know this?" I asked.

"Of course, I know because he's a fucking psycho. He has a wife and a kid. He doesn't even give a shit about them. He beat and tortured his wife for years and he turned a new leaf so suddenly overnight? He's not even fucking afraid to die. He'd do anything. He never told Augusta that and here, she's pregnant for him. I'm very certain that the things he wrote to her are the same thing he said to Augusta. If you can find his wife's message then you'll know." He said and Leo went to work. Derek wasn't wrong. Lamas was indeed playing Augusta.

"I noticed something..." Leo said. "It's a plan he drafted here and not only that, he also had...a family. I never knew he could be this dumb. Did he think nobody could hack into his system?"

"Leo focus." We said unanimously.

"Right." He displayed everything on the screen. "His family died when he was younger. And the people who killed them are Jonathan and Vito. His plans here are clear pieces of evidence that he wants revenge. He's using two people as abating, Elena and Augusta. You all know what they say. Killing two birds with one stone. That's exactly what he's trying to do. He wants both men dead but also wants you guys dead. I mean he doesn't even care if he dies as long as he's able to get one of you." Leo explained.

"This is more intense than I expected," I said. We got new information indeed and needed to use it. Fast. We rose and headed out of the room. There was something not right though. We passed the guards.

"We just got a call from the boss. And he said he doesn't know you people. What else would you guys possibly be if not intruders?"

One of them gripped my arm. Eeew. I hate people touching me. I used my heels to step on his well-polished shoe, and he groaned, loosening his grip.

The other tried to hit me, but Damon came to my rescue, whirling the man and hitting him on the nose. I tarried away from the other guard's unannounced punch and hit him on the neck. My next step was to grip his shoulders and knee him on the groin. He stumbled slowly backwards, not sure which to hold, neck or groin, so he held both.

Damon knocked one out by hitting a sensitive area on his neck, and Derek knocked the other out by roughly twisting his neck. Geez!. They were both brutal in every way of the word. My eyes caught a door. There must be something behind this door, why did it feel so suspicious?

I walked towards the door, staring at the handle. I knew it was locked, and if I could try to open it, we'd get caught. So I took a hairpin, out of my hair, fixed it gently into the lock, and twisted repeatedly until I felt something click.

I glanced at the boys, who eyed me with astonishment, causing me to smirk. I gently opened the door and peeped into the room. It was fucking cold in here, but I entered anyway. That was when I walked along the line of the corridor while the boys stayed outside, guarding the place.

"What the hell are you doing there Jessie."

"Something's not right. Why would Lamas have this kind of place in his house? Almost like he was hiding money somewhere, a huge pile of it that was embezzled. I looked around, walking slowly. Then I turned to my right and I was fucking right. There was money in here. I chuckled to myself going to one of the refrigerators before opening it. What I saw...made me stumble back.

"What the fuck did you see Jessie?" I heard Derek call but I was more than speechless. I tried to scream or something but I couldn't. The body stood there, stiff as fuck and was dead and completely frozen.

Why was... Augusta...in the fucking refrigerator?
