Ghost
“I need to talk to Ghost or Spook right the fuck now,” I hear being said from outside my office door.
“Sir, I told you that they are not taking new cases right now. If you would like them to take a look at your missing person’s case then you’ll have to do the paperwork. When we have an opening we’ll contact you,” my secretary says calmly.
“This is fucking bull shit! I’m telling you right now that they are going to want to fucking hear this. She has been missing for over a fucking year. There is no fucking way for her to know about this place unless someone told her. Someone needs to fucking help me.” The man booms and then I hear a crash.
Yeah, no, I’m done at this point. I head to the door and standing in my front office is none other than the head of the Russian mob out of Las Vegas. What the fuck is going on here? Why the hell is Yuri Volkov standing in my front office throwing shit?
“You better have a very good fucking reason why you are throwing shit in my office,” I state with my arms crossed.
“I need to speak with Ghost or Spook. A message came from my missing heart that was taken over a year ago,” he states.
A bell goes off. Stepping closer to him I ask, “What exactly did she say?”
“Does it fucking matter what the fuck she said?” he questions eyebrows drawn down.
“It fucking matters if you want my help and don’t just want to complete a form and wait your turn,” I say with a shrug, turning back to head into my office.
“Can we go into your office and speak about this?” he states, sounding completely defeated.
“Why don’t we do that,” I say, stepping away from the door and letting him walk past me.
I close my office door. Walking over to the bar, I pour us both shots of whisky. I hand one to Yuri before taking a seat behind my desk waiting for him to continue.
“About a year and a half ago, a woman that was working in one of my casinos showed up and rocked my world. She was everything I wasn’t with demons so scary that they rival my own. I kept my distance as much as I could due to a war brewing with some other families. One night, I just couldn't stay away any longer. I had to have her and so I did. Three weeks later she was just fucking gone.” Yuri drinks his whiskey down in one swallow.
As I sit and watch the head of the Russian mafia ramble I want to smack him. I never would’ve guessed that a man that could take my life like I was nothing would be sitting in front of me pouring his soul out like we are school girls. To be completely honest, I wish this asshole would get to the fucking point already so I can move the fuck on and continue looking for my woman.
“Okay still not sure why I should help you over all the other cases I have waiting.”
“I’m getting there. Can I get another fucking drink first?” Yuri questions. I lean back in my chair waiting for him to continue. “Take that as a no on the drink?”
“Get to the point and I’ll look at getting you another drink,” I tell him not giving an inch.
“They took her right from under my nose. I called in every favor, every fucking hit offered, the largest fucking reward you could offer, and nothing. It was like she was just fucking gone, never to be seen again,” he says with an eyebrow raised.
“Now you have my attention. I have a very similar case currently.” I tell him praying that we are finally getting some answers.
“Thought I might. So about two weeks after she was gone, I would get calls and videos of them asking for money. And as long as I continue to provide the money, she stays alive. So I’ve been fucking doing that. It continues. She calls, I send money, and she stays safe.” Yuri props his elbows on the knees, cradling his face. “I have all the power in the world and still can’t fucking find these assholes. They are so off the grid that they never send the videos or calls from the same place ever.”
“Okay, I’m understanding but you still haven’t told me how you end it up here with me.”
“How about I let you hear the call and then you’ll understand.” Yuri pulls his phone from his pocket and fiddles with it for a moment until I hear a scared woman start to speak.
“Hi, Yuri. It’s me again. I’m calling to tell you that everything is going well and that everything is okay,” the woman sighs.
“I need more money though. Things are getting a little tight for me on my trip. Oh, you wanna know that today I was able to find Ghost and Spook. They found me in the hot, straight sun. It was the oddest thing. I hope you can find them as well.” The woman pauses and I hear what sounds like Arabic in the background before she speaks again.
“Well I have to run but I hope to see you soon. Bye, my dear.”
The call ends and I am completely shocked by the woman's words. I grab his phone and send the message to myself then I send messages to Spook and Phantom to get to my office. My computer dings letting me know that the files have arrived. I pull it up and start running through all the programs I have looking for anything that it can match something to.
“So does what was said make sense to you? Because it took me about three days to fucking figure out what she was saying because it was so out of the blue.”
“To be completely honest, I won't know until two of my other men make their way in here,” I state just as my door opens, and in comes my men.
