"Will you help me?" Fred asked, sounding hopeful. Jeremy nodded, the man had been very helpful even from the very first day he took that flight to meet him at South Dakota. Even when he knew that he would be at risk for communicating with him, he did not turn him away. He felt duty-bound to help him reunite with his family. "All I need is information on the last location, I will have my investigators take it up from there." He assured him. "Thank you, Jeremy. I am in your debt." Fred said. Jeremy opened the small box that Fred handed him, inside it was an old-looking compass, a small map, and a key that looked to be made out of wood. "The location of the underground channel is being circled on the map, I don't know why you have so much zeal about this, you will face a lot of opposition, Gilbert and Hilda will certainly not give up on the inheritance that easily, but I wish you good luck, be careful and do not trust anyone," Fred said.Jeremy nodded, looked at the moon for a coupl
Sinclair was clearly tired, he ran his hand through his hair, he looked like he would rather be anywhere than in the car driving to an unknown location. "This is the map and compass, it will lead us to an underground channel, that's the way." He said. Sinclair took the map, he looked at the old compass too, and frowned, "Why do I feel like this has some link with Fred, the second partner." Sinclair said, more of a statement than a question. "Maybe, maybe not," Jeremy replied vaguely as he took a sharp turn to his left and sped up the highway. "Something tells me you have this map all figured out and you just want me to follow you there," Sinclair said. And he wasn't wrong, Jeremy had to go to the maps scanned and sent to his investigators the moment that Fred gave them to him. He had gotten the coordinates before he arrived at the Sinclair firm and with his GPS, he knew the way to the location. "That is the joy of technology," Jeremy replied with a small smile. "So what if we f
The police arrived just in time, but Jeremy and Sinclair had no use for them. As the sounds of the siren blasted outside, Jeremy knew it was time to leave, he didn't want to risk the police finding out about the secret entrance, he had a feeling that there was a lot more digging to do before he wrote off the place entirely. “That is our cue to leave," Sinclair said as he kicked at another debris, this time it was a piece of cloth that looked much like a face mask. "Let's get out of here, I know the police will get very nosey, but I don't think I am willing to answer questions or risk exposing Fred, the man is already too paranoid as it is without adding the police to his list of problems," Jeremy said and Sinclair nodded. The men made their way through the underground channel into the main building, they passed through a stairwell that was heavily barricaded with planks and rotting wood. As they got to the main floor, both men turned to look at themselves as they realized that the
The house was quiet when Jeremy arrived. He could still see Mildred's car behind the house. Jeremy wondered who her source was but he was thankful that he had stopped just in the nick of time before she sold out valuable information to a rival company. "I haven't given them anything, could you just let me go?" Mildred asked, activating her feminine charm. Jeremy noticed that she had changed into her sheer camisole under her bathrobe. But the men that were guarding her house looked unaffected. “You are not getting out of this by batting your eyelashes, Mildred," Jeremy said as he walked past and settled on the couch. The man handed him her cell phone and could see the number of times she had been communicating with her so-called source. "I hate to think about the harm you have done already, Mildred," Jeremy said, his eyes fiery. "I haven't done anything, you told me not to communicate with the source without letting you know that is exactly what I did," Mildred replied defensivel
Mildred was shaking like a leaf in autumn, her hands placed on her chest. Jeremy almost felt pity for her but then he reminded himself that she was the one who got herself into the mess in the first place. She wished that she had never come in contact with that anonymous source or tried to manipulate Bob into getting that file for her. "What did they say to you?" He asked. Mildred shook her head, her mouth opening multiple times but she could not say a coherent statement. Jeremy slowly held her by the shoulders and made her sit down, he ordered a glass of water and she gulped it down at once. "They threatened to come for me, they think that I have sold them out." She said, her eyes wide in fear. Jeremy shook his head, "You will have to stay in your apartment, at least until I tell you that it is safe, don't worry, I won't let them hurt you." He assured me. Mildred nodded, "He asked me for the document of the contract with your recent partner at the Mercury Healer, I did as you i
The previous night was the worst night of Jeremy Harrison's life. He could feel a nagging in his head, a voice that could not be silenced until eventually, his 5 o'clock alarm rang and he rolled out of bed, feeling as tired as he was when he first got in. Jeremy had not slept more than an hour and thirty minutes throughout the entire night, he was restless, having been unable to reach Sinclair for the entire day, he reluctantly went home, still pondering on the F sign. When he got out, he returned the first phone call he missed, it was from Bob, his assistant. "Sir, someone is here at the office to see you." The man said. Jeremy looked at his watch, it was a few minutes past 8 a.m, all he had managed to do was take a quick warm shower and nibble on a few slices of toast before dressing up for the day. "Who was it? What do they want?" Jeremy asked impatiently. "It's Mr Domino Sinclair, sir, he arrived a few minutes ago and he is still in the waiting area," Bob replied. Jeremy cur
"A fourth partner?" Jeremy asked, surprised. Sinclair nodded, "I haven't told you about this, because I wanted to protect you, like you said yourself, I don't even know why I am helping you and I don't want you to get hurt." He said. "What are you talking about? Everyone knows that lord Kingston only had three partners," Jeremy said, finding it hard to believe what Sinclair was telling him. "No, lord Kingston had four partners, his own son, Gilbert Kingston, although he was never really concerned about the family business and the Kingston Empire, he still included his heir in the partnership and had people work on behalf of him. The second partner which I am sure you know of is Fred, Fred was really close to lord Kingston and he became a partner and was included in the will. The third partner is your father, he was the most valuable scientist in the Kingston Empire, some even said that you were lord Kingston's favorite, until the conspiracy started and your father was ashamed and
"Don't tell me it is who I think it is," Jeremy said, he wasn't looking forward to crossing paths with the Jason family ever again. "Since you think this is the best for you, I have no choice but to help you," Sinclair said as he retrieved a single card from his pocket and laid it on the desk. "The Jason family is rather private, if you want to get in, you will need help." He said. Jeremy shook his head, he would not be needing any help to get in, he knew them better than anyone else, he'd been living with them. "If it is really the Jason family that I think it is, then I won't be needing any help to get in, I'm sure as hell that they'll be surprised to see me, I just don't think they'll be quite welcoming." He said. "Well, I'm sure you know best," Sinclair said but left the card on the table. Jeremy took it and pocketed it, but he doubted that he'd ever need it. "You have to be very careful, there is a lot that is going on inside this battle that you have no idea about. There
