Page 20 of Dangerous Secrets

My jaw clenches. So much deception, my organization needs a complete overhaul. "Where's the money coming from?"

"I haven't been able to find out, there's dummy corporations after dummy corporations. Whoever has sent him the money, they're good boss. So fucking good. I haven't been able to trace them."

"Right," I say through gritted teeth. "Jagger!" I yell, Barney is a dead man. He's played me, I'm a fool, I should have seen it.

The door opens and in walks Jagger, his eyes narrowed on Martin. He doesn't trust him, neither do I but right now, he has the only lead we have to find Mia. "Boss?"

"Get me Barney. I want that fucker and I want him now."

Jagger's eyes widen before he smirks. "My motherfucking pleasure. I'll call you when I have him for you, Boss. I can't guarantee that he'll not be harmed."

I shrug. "That fucker has had fifty grand deposited into his account four times in the last six months. Martin's just found out."

His jaw clenches, he knows what this means. Barney is the rat.

"Have Aaron go with you. He's dying to unleash some of his rage too."

Jagger nods. "The best thing is, we've got the upper hand, and he doesn't know we know about that yet so he won't see us coming." He glares at Martin as he leaves my office.

"He has a problem with me, I have no fucking idea why. Want to let me in on the secret?" Martin snaps at me, as soon as my office door closes.

"Best remember who you’re talking to. Watch your tone, Martin."

His eyes shutter, losing all the heat he had in them. "Sorry, Boss" he says, sheepishly.

"Tell me about these dummy corporations. What information do you have on them?" I want everything on them.

He picks up his laptop and hands me a file. "I'm on it boss. I'll have everything to you by this evening."

"If they have properties, I want to know about it. Mia is somewhere in this goddamn city and I want to find her, so find me something!" I shout, I'm so fucking frustrated, but my frustration is because I can't help unless I find out some new information.

"As soon as I find out anything, so will you," he promises, walking out of my office and leaving me alone.

Picking up the file, I flick through it, sonofabitch. Surveillance images of Barney and a woman embracing. So all the shit that Barney has said is a load of bull. He doesn't give a shit about Lacey, why would he when he has another woman on the side?

Picking up my cell I call my dad. "Son?" He answers immediately, probably wondering why I'm calling.

"Dad, you at home?"

"Yes, is everything okay?" he replies instantly.

"I'm on my way home. I've got some information, but I need some advice." I'm not too proud to do that, if it helps me find out where Mia is, I'll do anything.

"Of course, anything you need."

Making my way out of my office, I tell him, "I'll be there soon."

Twenty minutes later and I’m walking into my house, coming to a stop when I see Tina standing the kitchen. She has not once asked how the search is going, if I've found anything out. All she's done is look at new houses so that she and dad have a place here. She bosses my men around like they're her slaves. The shit she does grates on my nerves, I'm close to snapping and when I do, I'm going to snap her neck.

"Son, I'm in here," Dad calls from my office. Glancing at my watch, I see that it's almost midnight. Yet another fucking night that there's no Mia.

"Dad, thanks for waiting up," I begin as I walk around the room to my chair. I turn on the laptop and wait for it to boot up.

"Hudson, what's wrong? What's happened?"

I log into my laptop and face Dad. "I assumed when Mia was taken that it was Juan that had orchestrated it, if it wasn't Juan then Carina had something to do with it. Especially after seeing a picture of the two of them looking rather cozy."

He raises his brow, this is more information
