Chip to my heart

Chapter Twenty One – Something Missing

Epov

I sat next to her my head going over the conversation I had just herd.

I had originally decided to go for a run around the cabin, but decided instead to sit out in the back and go through the file.

I leaned back against a tree, my eyes closed as I allowed my mind to go through the first file.

Certain parts were classified and I had rolled my eyes at Esme, she knew I would look through this, I decided to close the file and do my own digging.

I froze as I seen that an arrest had been made, the name wasn't on ay database all that was there was that it was a private hire via a government agency and both the hire and the hirer had been take in.

Something didn't seem right though the information given was sketchy it didn't explain how Alec had been taken or why.

I sighed shaking my head not able to find anything else on that subject.

Then I decided to check Alec's interview and overview file.

The first few pages were simply details about Alec and his originally mission.

There were also details or his suppose involvement with the terror attacks, but when I got to his interview I noticed there was hardly any data there.

I frowned to myself as I decided to see if I could access the interview feed, I could but something was wrong, the feed kept going fuzzy and freezing.

I shook my head wondering if it was because of us being out in the open.

It confused me even more, I sighed wondering if the conversation inside had finished.

I looked to the house debating whether or not to access the security feed for inside, all safe houses had cameras in most rooms except the bathrooms it was protocol.

Deciding it was best to check rather than just walk in, I attempted to go in manually first before getting blocked by the security system in place I huffed out realising I would have to hack in.

"Better me than someone else" I muttered to myself as I did.

I watched as Bella asked if Alec had given information about Tanya's whereabouts.

Since they were still talking I was going to leave but I wanted the answer myself.

I knew it was wrong to watch them, but I had this irritating feeling to do so.

I was shocked as I watched the footage, not only at the way Esme spoke to Bella or about me, but of the words coming out of her mind, Esme was someone who took her job very seriously.. I just didn't realise she did it at the extent of others.

Part of me was fuming with her, for keeping information back, but as I watched Bella stand up to her my pride for the latter outgrew any other feeling I was feeling.

"I seem to be saying this a lot lately but Thank you" I whispered seeing her head come up to look at me.

"You stood up for me, and for Tanya in fact" I smiled before continuing "I don't think I've seen anyone stand up to Esme quite like that before"

I grinned seeing her head tilt.

"You hacked in to the security in here didn't you" she said causing me to chuckle and nod.

"God is there no privacy in the world" she muttered but I could see from the corner of my eye she wasn't mad since she smiled shaking her head.

"And your welcome" she whispered out into the quite room.

I smiled myself as I felt her finger wrap around mine squeezing once.
