"The whole fucking file is riddled with them.Haunted by ghosts. I found at least ten.That's the first one."
This guy interests me more and more.“Aiden how the hell did you see this?”
“Thought you might be distracted by the pretty girl,” he chuckles.“I heard you won, anyway I thought I’d look over a few things on the file and I saw that.I’ve seen it before. Someone really clever did that shit.Couldn’t have been Alfonse but I think because he played the middle man to many he had access.What you’re looking at here is his access where he would have tapped in his password.”
“I should be able to hack it,” I reply.I’m assuming it has the same encryption code I’ve been seeing across the file.
“Good man. Call me when you do."
"I will."
He hangs up and I start hacking.
Moments later confirm I was right about the encryption.It’s the same wacked up code I found before.
The file opens for me within seconds of decrypting it and I’m in.Right inside is five documents.Just five and I fucking bet these five files are going to be key to me.
I open the first one labeled employee list and as the document flashes open my eyes glue to the names at the top listing the managers.
Federico Santana and Tobias Navarro.
Holy fucking hell. I recognize those names.Federico is a cartel guy who’s into human trafficking.I’ve heard his name come up a few times because of our ties to cartels we have alliances within Ecuador.Tobias is also linked to human trafficking and a twisted motherfucker who's known for working with the worst of the bunch.
For my purposes, I’m thinking of the initials F.S. and T.N.
Fuck.
Motherfuckers…
I think I’ve just found the last two members of the group who signed the contract.
I bring my hand to my head and sigh.Holy hell. This is it.
That's all of them now.
Mortimer Viggo, Riccardo Balesteri, Levka Volkov, Karl Grunberg, Bradford Ferguson, Federico Santana, and Tobias Navarro.
Mobsters and international criminals who want the Syndicate gone.I'm certain Karl, Bradford, Federico, and Tobias are all part of this group, the Order.They all fit together, and they've been linked to doing dirty work for crooked government officials.
So, who is the king?
Fuck…
What a fucking mess.
And fucking Alfonse. We had that man in our homes.Fucking dog. He tried to screw with us in a way that left us blindsided and who knows who else he screwed with.The man was a spy who played all sides so I could find all kinds of hell in here.
With a haggard sigh, I look through the names on the list of employees which are arranged in alphabetical order.My interest piques when I catch another name I recognize.
Peter Dawson. He was a small-time asshole who lived in Stormy Creek.He was always in trouble with the law or somebody higher up the food chain.He’s on this list.
Christ.
I grab a pen and my notepad to scribble down Federico, Tobias, and Peter as names I recognize.I’ll start checking out those people first.
I scan down the list and my blood freezes right there in my veins when I get to the employees whose surnames start with R and see the names, Lucas and William Ricci.
Lucas and William Ricci.
