Chapter 396
“There’s nothing else we can do about that, correct? It’s not like the one who saw us could benefit from it? We’re consenting a.d.u.l.ts that just decided to have a little fun. If that person ever tried to tell others, he’s just a peeping tom, correct?” Tatiana held both of our hands.
“But still…” Kaley was worried and even if she didn’t finish her sentence, I know what was on her mind. The biggest concern would be the mishandling of the information if we didn’t have a proper talk with the said person who saw us. Tatiana was correct with her statement but some people might not see it that way.
“I’m gonna try to find out who it is. We’ll just have a little talk and convince him to keep it to himself. I’ll sweeten the deal a little but it won’t be anything too extravagant.” I said.
“But what if he asks for something like… like this… hmm?” Tatiana said,
“…” Kaley was silent.
“Then I’ll break his teeth in for being an unreasonable f.u.c.k. That shit would not fly with me if that person tries to put that in the table.” I replied.
“How are you gonna figure it out without accidentally telling the ones who didn’t know what that guy witnessed then?” Tatiana asked.
“Hmm.” I chuckled while my eyes started to gleam.
“What does that mean?” Kaley was looking at me weirdly.
“Well, I don’t know who he is. I don’t know what he wants. If he’s looking for a bribe, I can tell him that I’m f.u.c.k.i.n.g rich. However, if he tries to be unreasonable, the other thing I have is a particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a not so long career. If he let the matter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for him, I will not pursue him, but if he doesn’t, I will- Ow! Kaley! I’m about to finish that speech!” the atmosphere suddenly lightened when Kaley grabbed my nuts and applied pressure.
“No one was taken! Why did you have to put it like that?!” Kaley exclaimed but her expression turned for the better.
“What is what?” Tatiana was confused.
“Oh, come on! You haven’t watched that?! F.u.c.k it, we’ll do once we get home.” I was in shock.
“Sure, we could continue this at your room when Kaley decided to give you that other present.” Tatiana giggled.
“Yeah, what is it?” I looked at Kaley.
“Solve this thing first and I’ll make that gift even better!” Kaley just finished putting on the rest of her clothes.
We wiped ourselves off first before I slowly descended to look for the person that might or might not have witnessed us earlier accidentally. I reached the second floor but I could already hear Mikhail’s loud snoring.
“Hmm, does he usually do that or is it just an act? If he’s the one who saw us, I think I could easily use the PKM as leverage…” I thought to myself.
Before I tried to descend to the first floor, I decided to check Jared and Jomarro’s room first. Each step I made was like a cat’s footstep and I even surprised myself as to how quiet I was.
“I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Ba- wait, too much movie quotes for today…” I thought to myself as I leaned my ear against Jared’s door.
It was as quiet as the one up above in the plague but I couldn’t be too sure.
“Jared sleeps soundly but he could be just trying to keep quiet because he knows that I know how he sleeps. Wait, unless I open this door and see his face for myself, I wouldn’t be too sure.” I thought to myself but I wanted to explore more options before I started picking doors.
I reached Jomarro’s room which was at the end of the hallway. Unlike Jared’s door, this one was unlocked because it slowly turned when I tried to know if it was locked or not.
I leaned my ear against the door but I wasn’t even close when I heard a few objects falling onto his floor.
“Dammit, I thought I already latched it. Haa~ I wouldn’t have this trouble when Martina is still… Hmm, I hope one day I could move back to this place when this f.u.c.k.i.n.g shit is over…” I heard Jomarro’s voice while he was moving around in his room. I could hear his large footsteps and I was already doubting if he could sneak his way past the three of us upstairs earlier.
“There’s a low chance it’s him but I guess I’ll try for Mikhail first.” I thought to myself.
Instead of intentionally moving quieter and slower, I came down like I was just gonna get a bottle of water. My footsteps weren’t as loud but Mikhail’s loud snoring stopped completely. I saw him rising up from the sofa and then he relaxed when he saw that it was me. I looked at his getup and he was still wearing his heavy boots. However, that was only a minor clue.
“Sorry, did I wake you up?” I started.
“Kinda but no worries. I pushed this sofa by the door so it’s like I’m also guarding this side while half-asleep.” Mikhail sat down and I saw that his eyes were slightly red from waking up abruptly. I looked for other signs from him and I hoped that Kaley was with so so the filters were higher.
However, I cleared him off the list. Unless he was a great actor and could fly down the stairs without me hearing his heavy shoes, it wasn’t him.
“Jared and Jomarro are the ones remaining…” I thought to myself.
Before I went back to the second floor, I took a few snacks and bottles of water to not make it seem I just went down there for nothing. I headed straight for Jomarro’s room but I didn’t knock and opened the door immediately to see his reaction.
However, a huge suitcase barred the door from opening completely.
“Oh, is that you, you little shit? Wait a sec, lemme- it’s a mess here because I’m still trying to figure out what to bring. I just threw them all in that other case but I remembered what my wife said to organize them neatly first so I would know where to reach for when I started to unpack. Anyway, what can I do for you? I thought you were on watch?” Jomarro said, looking at me confused as to why I was there in the first place.
“It’s f.u.c.k.i.n.g Jared.” I though to myself.
“Yeah, I just went down to grab a snack because Tatiana was also there with us. Want one of these? I think I brought a few too many.” I said as I showed him the snacks on my arms.
“Oh, I see I see. I’ll just grab myself those barbecue ones after I’m done with packing. I don’t want them to smell like barbecue because of eating snacks while packing but thank you.” Jomarro replied.
“Okay, since Tatiana’s still there. I could drop these off them first so I could help you pack. My head’s kinda itchy looking at his chaos you brewed up.” I chuckled.
“Really? Okay, I’ll wait for you. I don’t know how to fit this f.u.c.k.i.n.g 700 with this 870 in this position…” Jomarro was ecstatic.
I quickly went up though I released a bit of killing intent when I passed by Jared’s room. Kaley and Tatiana saw me with snacks and a few cans of soda and they got confused even more. They started to ask some questions but I just smiled devilishly.
“Did you figure it out?” Kaley asked.
“Yep.” I replied.
“Who is it?” Tatiana asked.
“Are you sure you two want to know? You could just forget about the matter and-” I was cut off.
“I’d rather know who it is than doubt three persons at the same time!” Kaley exclaimed as she opened a bag of ch.i.p.s.
“And you’re hungry now?” I chuckled.
“Wha- I’m just-” Kaley stopped herself from opening it fully.
“Just get to it! Tell us!” Tatiana exclaimed as she opened the bag for Kaley.
“I’ll tell you two when it’s done. This will be over easy.” I replied.
The two wore helpless expressions as I quickly made my way down. However, the door to Jared’s room was already unlocked and I just turned the knob and saw him grinning while holding a piece of paper.
“Bro, before you say anything, I know how our system works, ok? If I could have this for my sile-” I suddenly swiped the paper off his hands.
“Sig Sauer P320, FN SCAR 17, and a motherf.u.c.k.i.n.g Barrett M107a1?! You high dude?!” I exclaimed to start lowballing him.
“Bro! I know that tactic! You’re starting to lowball me, aren’t you?!”
“What?! Me?! Anyway, you know I only have one Barrett, right? Want me to smack you in the head?”
“Bro! I’ll settle if I could fire it a few times, deal?”
“Just firing it a few times? Without the SCAR and the P320?”
“What?! No! At least give me the SCAR!”
“You have the f.u.c.k.i.n.g AR-10 for f.u.c.ks sake! I could give you the P320 at least! Like the Barrett, I only have one of those!”
“You said you have two last time!”
“It’s different calibers!”
“I won’t settle for anything less than that!”
“Really?”
“Whoa, what the f.u.c.k is that bro?! BRO?! BROOOOOOO?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!!”
