REAGAN'S POV.
"Why do you look constipated?"
Those are the first words that come out of Kyle's mouth the moment he walks into my office. He's staring at me intensely and Ronald invites himself to the show. Now they are both staring down at me as though expecting me to make a confession.
Sighing heavily, I rise from my seat and round the table. Their eyes are still glued on me as I perch on the edge of the table and cross my ankles. "I look constipated because I am."
"It's eight in the morning and you're already constipated, what did you eat?"
"I can't even remember. Selena served me a bunch of meals this morning."
"Selena made you food?" Kyle asks, aghast. I nod calmly.
"And you ate the food?" Ronald sounds terrified as he chimes in his question. I shoot him an alarmed look.
"Why would you it like that? Did I do something wrong?"
"Not wrong, but dangerous. We asked you to live with her so we could get Intel, not eat meals prepared by her." Ron cautions firmly.
“Well..... what was I supposed to do?"
"Say no."
"I already did so last night I figured saying no to her today again would raise her suspension. I don't want her sensing that I really don't give two fucks about her. That's why I had to eat the food she made."
Silence.
Silence is what follows my explanation.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Kyle and Ronald exchange quite stares before turning to look at me again.
"Makes sense, right?"
"Yeah. It does." Ronald replies while Kyle sighs in exasperation as he runs a hand over his tired looking face.
"Let's not talk about Selena this morning. I had too many interactions with her last night and this morning. I want a Selena free day."
"As you wish, my Lord." Kyle says with a playful bow.
"I came to report some good news." Ronald changed the topic.
"Good news?"
"Yeah."
"Me too." Kyle adds. "But you go first, Ron." He urges and Ronald looks at me again.
"The person responsible for sabotaging Ashanti's equipment during the last phase of the competition has been caught and the person happens to be one of the contestants."
"Oh! That's some great news!"
"Yeah. It is. Everything we dug out has been forwarded to the crew in charge of the competition. The person will be sanctioned accordingly."
"Good Job, Ronald. This is justice
well served and it will also serve as a
warning to other contestants
e
planning to pull such a trick. Thank you for looking into this." I say,
stretching my hand out for a
handshake which ha calmly accepts.
"I'm just doing my job."
"And you are good at it. Thank you." I turn to Kyle who looks pleased by what Ronald just said. "What's your good news."
"So..." He says with a deep sigh. "It seems Logan is still alive."
My heart falls into my abdomen.
I mean, it's something I had suspected, but I didn't really think it would be true.
"What?" I ask, horrified.
"Yeah. I did some asking around and
reports reached me that he was last seen at the Blue Night Pack where he used to frequent casinos and clubs but no one has heard from or seen him for weeks now. He is very much alive and I believe if we find him, that will go a long way to solve our Selena mystery. I had a feeling those two are connected."
"Me too. I have the same feeling. What about his nephew, Zach. Any news about him?"
"Nope. I'm still digging."
“Keep digging. I feel like we're getting close."
"Me too."
I shut my eyes close and tiredly massage my eyelids with my fingers.
There's a bomb coming my way. I can feel it!
