The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 101

Did you take care of…

When the elevator doors opened again, Daniel, Mr. Boone, Elrod, Madden, Laurier, Viotto, Fox, Caddel, Francis. and Mr. Amana walked out, carrying briefcases that seemed heavy for their aging bones to carry.

A frown immediately settled on Elijah‘s face when he saw them with those briefcases, he pinched the bridge of his nose, groaned, and said, “You ten, stop right there!”

A nervous glance clouded their eyes as a look of hesitation settled on their faces and the ten of them halted in their steps.

Drawing a deep breath to calm his annoyance, Elijah walked over to them, and then asked, “What‘s in the briefcases that makes them look heavy?”

The men exchanged confused looks between themselves as if asking each other whether they should answer or just keep their silence.

“Papers,” Daniel replied in an annoyed voice as he glanced at the floor before looking at Elijah and asked in irritation, “Can we go now?!”

“Nah, not with the briefcases… You can‘t.” Elijah stated calmly as he stood directly in front of the men.

“Why not?! We have the right to.”

“Every document belonging to Investistic Co. is not allowed to leave the walls of this building until further notice. So open all ten of the briefcases and…”

Looking over his shoulder, Elijah met Ryan‘s eyes and said calmly, “Ryan will check these so–called papers, and whatever belongs to the company will stay right here.”

The feeling of anxiety by those words made Daniel and his colleagues freeze in place with fear and apprehension.

‘Elmer Hayes and us will be in some deep legal shit if these papers land in this boy‘s hands.‘ Daniel thought as the others were silent, staring at Elijah and Ryan, and clutching onto their briefcase tightly.

‘I told these idiots for us to hide these papers and pick it up at a later date… But no, Fox said that this boy was a fool, and we could easily walk out of here with them. Now look at this mess!‘ Mr. Caddel thought with worry as he looked around nervously.

Feeling hot in his coat, Mr. Fox looked at Elijah dead–serious expression, and swallowed hard, mumbling in his head, ‘Why is this happening now? Why? Why?? I thought he wasn‘t smart enough for this stuff! mean, look at what he did with the company employees, and now, he suddenly wants to act professional with us??!! What the hell?‘

‘There‘s no way he can understand these numbers on the papers and figure it out, right?… He can‘t have a brain for this kind of stuff… does he?‘ Mr. Laurier thought with concern in his face.

The ten men stared intensely at Elijah and Ryan for a moment, and then Daniel said in a firm tone, “This is harassment on our right… and we will not comply with any illegal authorization for our private belongings to get temper with or search.”
