He looked at his watch. He had to leave immediately. This was not one of those situations that he could play the hero.
He stood up and went to the window. He could see no one suspicious. He picked up his jacket and turned to look at her.
"Is there a problem? Are you leaving already?" She asked.
The last thing he needed was to worry her. She might probably even try to kill herself again. No one wanted that.
"I have an impromptu meeting in twenty minutes. I will visit soon".
He quickly left before she could ask any questions. He was not backing away from the fight.
Ross saw the look on his face as he approached the car. Crawler and Benjamin were in the car behind.
"Get me out of here". He said.
Ross nodded and they drove out.
When he got home, he contacted the president of the hospital.
He arranged for her to be transferred out of the state immediately.
He had stationed security that would accompany her to Carlifornia.
He also informed the president to scan the premises for explosives of any kind.
How did the psycho even get his number? He already had Ross tracing the number. If the psycho was really as smart as the report said, then they would not be able to find any thing.
He called Katherine.
"Transfer twenty million dollars to my account in Carlifornia. Inform the crew to prepare my jet. I will be using it soon".
If he was being watched, he would need a decoy to get the guy off his back.
He called Tarson, his behind the scenes expert.
"Find me a twin". He said.
"Right now?" Tarson asked.
"I am giving you twenty minutes." He said and hung up.
He went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of bourbon. He downed the contents of the glass in two gulps.
He went upstairs. Adeline was just leaving his room.
"Welcome home, Mr. Pole. I wasn't expecting you this early". She said, setting the vacuum cleaner down.
"Something came up. Did you shop any groceries for lunch?" He asked.
"I just restocked the items that were running low. Would you like me to make you something or would you prefer to make it yourself?" She asked.
"Make something quickly. I'll be quite busy". He said and turned to leave.
"What would you like me to make?" She called out to him.
"Surprise me". He said over his shoulder.
He went into his office and went through the documents on his desk.
There was a envelope marked with red ink.
He turned it over before ripping it open.
It contained images of Cassandra. The first one was of her and a man walking into a hotel. The next one was of her wearing a bra and garters, straddling the man she was with.
The pictures were all of her having sex with the unknown man.
After the last picture, there was a paper that was scribbled on with red ink.
It read; "Now you know why she deserves to die. She's a whore. Stay out of this. Let her get what is coming to her".
He read it again.
Even if he did not really know her well, he could not believe she would do that kind of thing. It just didn't seem like her.
Well, you don't judge a book by its cover.
He wasn't going to stop helping her because she screwed one guy.
Maybe she hadn't had the guts to end things with him. She was probably afraid.
But, what guy invited a lady to a hotel. From the pictures, it seemed more like a professional thing than a relationship.
Why would a full time lawyer like her opt to become a prostitute?
After a while, Adeline came in with the food. She served french fries with a spicy dipping sauce and roasted asparagus.
As she was about to leave, he asked, "Do you know where this came from?"
She glanced at the opened envelope briefly.
"Mail came in as usual. Crawler brought them in".
"You can go". He dismissed her.
He opened his computer system, sticking a fry into his mouth. He was starving.
He went to the security camera folder and opened it. He searched for the one in the receptionist area. That's where the mail man always dropped his mail. He watched the tape. The mail man had dropped the mail with Aliya, the receptionist. Then, much later, another man came in to drop the envelope. He was wearing a cap which covered most of his face from the view of the cameras. He saw when Aliya gave the mail to Crawler.
The building wasn't safe. He would need to set up more security to protect himself and the people that stayed in his building.
No matter how smart the chap was, he would not be able to get into his pent house without getting caught.
Wait, he wasn't so sure about that anymore.
He ate quickly and got up. He shut off the system and went to his room. Adeline went in to pick up his plates, just as he left.
He took out a suit case and started packing some of his things. He would also need to get clothes for Cassandra. He would sort that out when he got to Carlifornia.
Once she was fully recovered, he would send her to Portugal where she could start afresh.
He had Ross take him to the jet hanger. Crawler was driving closely behind them with Benjamin.
Tarson had called earlier to inform him that he had found a twin.
Once he got on the jet, Crawler would take the car and pick up the decoy. He had already informed Katherine. The decoy would be taking his place at work every day and would be staying at his house. Any meetings that could not be shifted would be done online.
He had disposed of his phone.
Only him and Ross got on the plane. The others went back according to his orders.
They arrived at the hospital late at night. He was shocked when the doctors said he could not see her.
When he could finally speak to her doctor, he was told that something had been injected into her IV tube.
What the hell.
