CHAPTER 26
(Taylor's POV)
Watching Christian sulk as Ana leaves for the weekend with her father is such a sad site. I am still stunned that she took the awkward moment so well. I wish she would have let one of us accompany her this weekend, it would be a blast going through that again, but no I have to watch crybaby over here. I wonder if Gail can give me a few minutes of her time. I decide to go double check the area, when the front desk notifies me that a package in my name has just arrived. As I make my way towards the front desk, I try thinking of what I have ordered for Christian in my name. The large package is starting to get me worried for some reason. I put the package through our detector before I take it upstairs. I take the package upstairs to my office and out of boredom I notice Luke following me to see what is inside. I take out folders, which I notice some are thicker than the others. I take out the letter that is inside an envelope that has my name across it. Luke and I only look at each other trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
Dear Mr. Taylor,
I have enclosed information that you will find extremely important and that need to be addressed immediately. I have nothing to gain with this information and I am only sending this to you as a courtesy on helping a friend. I hope you take the information with you with the utmost urgency that requires immediate attention. As I stated before, I don't gain anything from this information; so instead of worry about who sent this information, you need to only be concerned with the information enclosed in order to keep everyone safe from these individuals.
I put the letter aside and I open the first folder that is labeled Threat 1.
"What the fuck? Get Christian in here now." I inform Luke.
As Luke rushes to get Christian, I am wondering why Welsh don't possess this information as well. I call him and put him on speaker just as Christian runs in.
"What the hell is happening?" Christian yells in frustration.
Christian reads the letter out loud so Welsh can hear the information we just received. I open the file with Threat 1 written on it.
"What the fuck is Leila doing in this file?" Christian yells out in frustration.
The room is silent as I read about Leila scoping out the area as she figures out how to get closer without being detected. How was this person able to get photos as well? We see pictures that have the times showing Leila following Ana to and from work. We are looking at printouts of the history from a computer registered in her name that shows the endless hours that she has spent getting information on Ana and Christian. We see that she is looking into secluded areas that have easy access. I hear Christian throw a lamp to the wall as I read out loud about Leila having a concealed license and the proof that she just purchased a gun. But the thing that pushes him over the edge making him crack the thick glass that separates yourself and the city from the outside with a decorative piece made of stone, would be the numerous copies of checks made out to her that we're written by the one and only Mrs. Elena Lincoln. I have seen Christian angry too many times since I have worked for him, but the rage and revulsion I see now, is far worse than I have ever witnessed. As I am about to read out loud the last page that is inside its own see through folder along with a phone from her file, we all become speechless. Now that Welch just arrived a few minutes ago, he looks at the picture of Leila badly beaten and tied up in a chair with all the pictures she has taken of Ana with the word "Die Bitch" written in her hand writing with a red marker across Ana's face. There are more photos of the inside of Leila's apartment that show these pictures were hanging in every room along with her target practice chart that she had taped a picture of Ana's face right in the center. There is a picture of an old abandon basement set up with a large wooded cross in the middle of the room that has restraints for the hands and ankles. On one wall you see many canes and large paddles hanging on the wall. On the other side are numerous torturing devices. The wall facing the cross is pictures of Christian as he is sleeping and taking a shower while she used to stay here. The rest are Christian leaving his apartment or work. I notice Christian stunned and outraged on her behavior and obsession towards him. I read out the last sentences in disbelief.
"You now have two options for this sick bitch who was preparing to kidnap and torture Ms. Steele." I read out loud with anger I feel with everything we have just been informed.
"Press speed dials 1 if you want her location so you can turn her in to the authorities. Trust me when I say she has been taken cared of slowly and painfully and sexual gratification was the last thing crossing her mind.
Or
"Press speed dials 2 if you want her permanently removed without having to get your hands dirty."
Don't stress yourself on searching for Mrs. Lincoln on this matter. Her file is included on the information you are looking for. We will get to her later on. I will wait for a response by 3:00 or I follow through with my decision.
We all look at the time and we only have two minutes to decide. Christian grabs the cell phone without hesitating and presses 2. As the phone is answered a live video of Leila comes on as she is calling Ana every bad word she can think of and an individual dressed in black and the face completely covered walks up to her and silence her ranting with a single shot to the head. The call is quickly ended.
"Open Threat 2 Taylor."
