“I thought he was supposed to stay behind, Aliyana’s father…”

“Doesn’t get to make those choices where Salvatore is involved.” Deno finishes Matteo's sentence.

I shoot a text to the ghost saying that it was Salvatore.

My phone beeps almost immediately after that,

Not that camera, the one on your bedroom

Ghost

I say nothing further or draw any further attention to Salvatore’s arrival.

“I need to go to the bathroom, let’s get the plans on the table and get the others in here.” I leave them and head up the stairs and straight to the bathroom where I open up my phone and punch my pin and then finger print Michael Stone set up for me, and add in the time and date into the videos search box.

The signal is fast, another thing Michael Stone added for me. The search finds my result and I watch the feed.

A tall hooded man, walks into my room and goes straight to my safety box I keep on the floor beneath a tile. He opens it and places something in it. Then seals the box and puts everything the way it was before leaving.

Following the footsteps of the hooded man, I head to my bedroom, ignoring the black bedding filled with toys and straight to the tile. I open my box and look inside to find a small USB.

I head to my computer on the right side of the room and put it in.

The video plays Jack Creston and a shorter hooded figure exchanging something, I almost close my laptop when a figure in the background catches my eye. The video ends and a message pops up to open file 227 and I do, to see Mero at the back of the restaurant kitchen, talking to a girl.

I frown as I see who she is. What were two of them talking about. I watch them exchange words and Mero gets pissed off as she starts smiling. He storms off.

I frown, because I don’t see or understand the connection.

Me: What am I missing?

I shoot the text to the Ghost hoping he'll know more.

Ghost: Ask the fucker who put it there.
