Chapter 3 HE'S DEAD

NEXT MORNING

ALEXA'S POV ( EVA)

I woked up and after taking my bath and eating my breakfast, i decided to go talk to Xavier.

You know as his new partner, I have to act like I'm interested in the case he's handling.

I knocked on his door, twice but no reply.

Without waisting much time, I twisted the door handle and it opened.

I entered his room but didn't see him.

I was already getting annoyed.

Where the heck is this stupid guy?.

I left his room and headed downstairs.

"Looking for me?" Xavier asked and I sent him a deadly glare.

"Jeez, calm down and quite giving me those creepy glares" He said.

"I want you to tell me how far you've gone in this case"I said going straight to the point while trying to calm myself down.

"Follow me" He replied.

"Don't tell me that" I snapped at him.

I hate when someone tells me to follow him/her.

It makes me feel like I am been controlled and i hate being controlled or commanded.

"Ok, please follow me" He sassed with an eye roll and I trailed behind him.

After passing through so many rooms, we got to the final room .

Not actually a room cause i don't see any door, just a wall.

Xavier pushed something on the wall and it opened.

We entered and stood in front of another door

A green light from the door scanned one of his eyes.

"Recognized" A voice said before the door opened.

Stepping inside, I was wowed.

Different gadgets and weapons each arranged and packed.

If I lay my hands on all this weapons, I'm gonna be a blast.

We walked up to yet another door and after placing his hand on the wall, which scanned him, the door opened.

If I say this place is amazing, it's definitely an understatement.

Different types of computer and devices are all laying around.

Now this is how an agent secret room should be.

"This is my secret room" He said smiling.

"I'm aware of that, I'm not a dummy like you"I scoffed and his smile turned into a frown.

" So what have you figured out about this assassin?" I asked.

"Nothing much, just that putting together all her recent killing, i think her main targets are influential people"

" Starting from Mr Alexandro down to my dad"He said typing something into the computer and all the pictures of the people I've murdered so far appeared on the monitor.

"So what's your conclusion then?" I asked.

"Her next target will be someone influential and judging from all this, I think her main target will be Mr Lucas, the owner of Castillo de San Marco national park"He replied and my heart skipped.

How did he figure that out?

Mr Lucas is surely my next target but how did he know?

"What made you say that?" I asked.

"Because today is his grand opening and I think he will be killed there"He answered.

Wow, he is smart, I must admit.

" So what are you planning on doing?"

"Well, I'm thinking of calling Mr Lucas and telling him to cancel the opening"He replied.

Seriously?

" I don't think that's a good idea because whether the opening is cancelled or not, that won't stop the assassin from carrying out her job, instead it will make it easier for her"I said.

" So what are saying we should do then?"Xavier asked.

" I think we should beat her at her own game. Instead of cancelling the opening, let's wait for her there in disguise. We'll attend the opening and make sure Mr Lucas is ok, and at the same time capture our enemy"I suggested.

" That's an amazing idea"Xavier replied.

"We'll need back up for that, yunno" I added.

"Don't worry I've got that covered"He replied.

" When is the opening?"I asked.

Not like I'm not aware but you know, I have to act.

"By 02:00pm" He replied.

XAVIER POV

AT EXACTLY 02:00PM

We were already at the opening in disguise.

I was disguised as a clown while Eva, as a waitress.

The people I called for back up were positioned everywhere.

The instruction I gave them was to check everyone coming in and to report to us if they suspect anything.

I activated my voice transmitter.

"Eva, can you here me?" I asked

"Yes, I can" she replied.

"Okay, suspect anything?" I asked

"Not really, you?" She said

"Same here" I replied

" Make sure to inform me if you suspect anything, gotta go now" I added.

*. *. *. *. *

Everything was going on smoothly.

Mr. Lucas gave his opening remark and the park was finally opened.

I was still on guard in case anything happens.

I met up with Eva on the other side.

"Anything" I asked and she nodded.

"Nope, seems everything is okay" she replied.

"Year I think she haven't arrived yet" I said but then one of my men approached.

"Sir, something has gone wrong, you need to follow me" he said.

I looked at Eva and she did the same thing.

" Let's go "Eva said and we followed him.

We stopped when he stopped.

"What happe....... " I couldn't even finish because I was dumbstruck by what I saw.

Mr. Lucas and all his friends were all lying on the floor, blood coming out from their mouth. They resemble zombies because main looking at them , you'll think all their blood have been drained from their body and their skins were already pilling off.

"How did this happen" Eva asked in shock.

I was still trying to calculate everything.

How did this happen? When? By who?.

As far as I remember, my men made sure to cross check everyone entering the park, so how did she sneak in without anyone suspecting a thing?................

*. *. *

Me and Eva headed to the laboratory and when I say laboratory I meant where dead bodies are examined.

We've already sent Mr. Lucas and his friends body over there to figure out what killed them.

Immediately we stepped in, Jasper a friend of mine approached with a broad smile.

He's a lab toxicologist and he deals more on dead bodies.

Right now he's on Mr. Lucas case.

"Welcome agent Xavier" he greeted which I returned and we headed to the lab room.

"So, did you figure out killed them" I asked staring at Mr Lucas dead body .

"Well I was able to figure out that he was killed by a poison, because while examining him, he inner body was burnt and only a poison could do that "Jasper replied.

" And what poison is that? "Eva asked.

"Ricin poison, from a plant called ricinus communis, right here "Jasper said pointing to the picture displayed on the monitor.

"It's the top most dangerous poison, but it was banned years ago" Jasper added.

" Then if it was banned, how was the assassin able to get a hold on it? "I asked.

" Because someone here in Miami sells it "Jasper replied

" Who? "I asked and Jasper pointed to the monitor.

" Austin Noah, he lives in calle oche" I read out

"Exactly?" Jasper said.

" Ok, thanks for the info, Eva and I have to go now"I replied, giving him a handshake.

" Let's go Eva" I said and she nodded.

ALEXA'S POV (EVA)

Fuck! I have to do something or else my cover will be blown.

If Xavier meets Austin, I'm sure he's gonna spill out the truth.

I quickly tested everything to Boss and soon a message popped in.

"Don't worry, I've sent Veera to deal with him"

I heaved out a sign of relief.

We arrived at Austin's house.

"Ok, you'll stay here, while I'll go check through the back door "Xavier said bringing out his gun.

" Got it" I replied, bringing out my own gun.

I was still at the front door, trying to peep through the window, hoping maybe to see Austin's dead body when Xavier called me.

I rushed to the back door and saw him already inside.

Wait how did he get in..... oh he broke the door.

Next to him was Austin's lifeless body lying on the floor.

"He's dead" Xavier said feeling his pulse.

"I think she got him before we did" I replied trying hard to stop myself from smirking.

" Fuck! Once again she won" Xavier cursed.

"I think you should call the team to come clear everything and make sure to keep these poisons in a safe hand" I said heading outside.

Wow, great Veera, great job.........
