Captured Hearts (The Men of Five Nations International) (5 page)

 


You honestly think that whoever did this didn’t find what they were looking for? Look at this place Prescott there is not one thing in here that wasn’t damaged in one way or another.” She said.

 


That’s exactly why I doubt they found anything because if they had then your apartment wouldn’t be destroyed like this. And I really hate to say this but if that’s the case I’m pretty sure they’ll be back.” He explained calmly watching for her reaction.

 


That’s just great, now what am I supposed to do?” She said sound worried.

 


Well the first thing you need to do is contact your superiors and let them know what happened, they’ll probably send a team out to investigate. I’m guessing that you keep your confidential records in a secure government approved location.” He said.

 


Yes, that’s correct, as part of my contract I have to.” She replied thinking now that she’s gratefully that she had to take that type of precaution as she placed the call. When she ended the call she wanted to know what she needed to do next.

 


Okay that’s done now what do I do?” She asked hoping for more advice since she was clueless because this type of thing has never happened to her before.

 


Alright so you can’t stay here tonight and until we know more about what’s going on you really shouldn’t stay with a loved one that way you’ll avoid the possibility of something happening to them.” He said in a concerned tone.

 


So what now am I supposed to go get a room somewhere until they figure this out?” She asked sounding frustrated.

 


Actually I think the safest place for you right now is my house and before you say no hear me out. My house has a state of the art security system, it’s located in a gated community and you’ll be just a few blocks from Cam and Kat.” He paused for her response to what he’d said.

 


It sounds go so far, keep talking and while you’re talking you can tell me about the sleeping arrangements. So go ahead I’m listening.” Akiva said folding her arms in front of her causing her full breasts to thrust upward.

 

Prescott couldn’t stop his gaze from traveling to her breasts when she folded her arms, his mouth watered at the image that skipped through his mind of one of them clamped between his lips. He was certain that if she knew what he was thinking she’d punch him in the gut or worse she’d kick him in the jewels.

 

He shook his head slightly to rid it of the image that was quickly arousing him. “My house has four bedrooms so of course you can have your choice of whichever one you’d like. And if you should need me for anything I’ll be right down the hall.”

 


I guess since there aren’t too many choices to choose from your idea sounds like the best one on the table, so it looks like you’ll be having a house guest for a night or two.” She said accepting his invitation for a safe place to stay while the investigation team figured out what was going on.

 


Great as soon as the team of investigators allow us to leave we can get out of here. In the meanwhile I’m going to call my team and give them a rundown on what’s happening.” He said as he pulled his cell phone from his pocket and hit speed dial to call Kenji Fujimoto his team leader.

 


Well while you make your call I’m going to see if they destroyed my clothes along with everything else. Because if they did I guess I’ll be walking around your place in the suit I was born with.” She said teasingly.

 


In that case would it be rude of me to wish like hell that they destroyed every stitch of clothing that you own?” He asked with a slight smile and an arched brow.

 


Normally I’d say yes but if our roles were reversed I’d be wishing for the same.” She said with a wink as she let her gaze travel the length of him then smiled before turning for her bedroom.

 

Prescott grinned as he watched her leave the room. He fixed his gaze on her well rounded ass watching the gently sway of her hips as she walked away. He shook his head slightly to stop the slide show of images that began racing through his mind.

 

Once his mind was clear again he placed the call to Kenji he suggested they meet in the morning to discuss the situation. Until then he offered to make a few calls and find out who was in charge of the investigation and offer their assistance. Prescott suggested that they meet at Blake and Cam’s since they’d be going there in the morning anyway. Kenji agreed and said that he’d called Thai and Alex.

 

Prescott was just ending the call when he noticed Akiva returning with a very small overnight bag. He frowned when he saw the expression on her face as she entered the living room area. She sighed loudly as she dropped the bag to the floor.

 


I guess you’ll get your wish since all I could find that wasn’t ripped to shreds was a pair of jeans in the back of my closet. Now tell me, what in the hell was the point of shredding my clothes? That was just mean I can’t wait to get my hands on the person responsible for this.” She said angrily.

 


Yeah, I don’t think that’s a good idea being face to face with the person who’s responsible for this could be dangerous.” He said.

 


You’re right it will be dangerous, for him or her, whichever the case may be. Because I intend to whip that person’s ass until I’m good and satisfied. And I have a feeling that may take a while.” Akiva said sounding extremely irritated.

 


I know how much this sucks but you need to let the team of investigators handle this.” He said hoping to talk some common sense into her.

 


Fine, I’ll let them handle it for now, speaking of which what is taking them so long to get here?” She replied glancing at her watch.

 


I’m sure they’ll be here soon.” He said attempting to reassure her.

 

 

 

Moments later the team of investigators arrived lead by Burt Williams and Alexis Gomez. As soon as they entered the apartment Burt began barking out orders to the other members of the team and they spread out to get started.

 

Burt was an overweight slightly balding very mean looking man. He reminded you of a man that was very lonely and unhappy not only with himself but unhappy with everyone and everything around him.

 

His light blue eyes seemed cold and somewhat lifeless against his pale skin his unpleasant demeanor was evident in the expression on his frowning face.

 

Alexis on the other hand was a very attractive woman, her long dark wavy hair was pulled into a smooth tight ponytail at the back of her head. Her tan skin-tone was the color of toasted almonds and her light brown eyes shined when she smiled. She was of average height standing at about five feet seven inches and she seemed to have a fairly nice figure of course it was difficult to tell with her dressed in what appeared to be male attire.

 

The pants she was wearing were slightly baggy and did nothing to flatter her shape and the button down men’s shirt she wore under the large blazer wasn’t much better. She seemed to be wearing very little make-up maybe just a bit of mascara.

 

Alexis politely questioned Akiva and Prescott as she jotted down everything that they said. Things were going well until Burt joined them. He and Alexis were complete opposites she had a pleasant and professional demeanor, whereas Burt was unpleasant, rude and didn’t act like a professional.

 

Prescott noticed that the man was purposely talking down to both Alexis and Akiva. He seemed to have a womanizing attitude, like he resented the fact that he had to deal with them at all. Each time Alexis asked Akiva a question he would interrupt not only the question but Akiva as she attempted to give her answer.

 

Prescott was just about to say something to the man about his attitude when Akiva snapped putting one of her hands on her hip and proceeded to let him have it.

 


Listen here you disrespectful jerk, if you open your mouth one more time to interrupt me while I’m talking, I will give you a fat lip to go with the rest of your fat ass. Now shut the hell up and act like a professional or I will be placing a call to your supervisor. You got that buster?” When Akiva was finished putting the man in his place she dismissed him giving him her back as she turned her attention to Alexis.

 


Now as I was saying before constantly being interrupted so rudely. When Prescott and I returned from our night out we found the place like this and called it in immediately. So no we didn’t see anything or anyone all we saw is what you see, my apartment like this.” Akiva said politely addressing Alexis.

 


Gomez will you ask her if she has any vengeful ex-boyfriends that could have done this to her apartment or maybe…” Burt started but didn’t have a chance to finish because Akiva interrupted him mid-sentence.

 


Tell him that
maybe
he should just shut the hell up and go find something to do some-where-else.” Akiva said the last three words slowly and through tightly clenched teeth as she stared at the man who was looking very angry.

 
Prescott tried to hide the grin that touched his lips because he was so glad that he wasn’t
 

the one that had rubbed her the wrong way. When Dr. Akiva Jennings gets riled up the best thing to do is stay out of her line of fire. She was a feisty pistol of a woman. He had a feeling that she did everything with a deep amount of passion and he couldn’t wait to get her in his bed so that he could experience firsthand her unbridled passion.

 

Alexis turned to Burt as she addressed him. “It’s okay Burt you go check on the others, I can finish things with Dr. Jennings and Mr. Hawk.”

 

“In case you’ve forgotten Gomez, I’m the senior agent you don’t give me orders. And if you ask me the good doctor here could use a lesson in manners on how to treat someone who’s trying to help her instead of giving them all that back talk and you can also let her know that we’ll need a list of her patients.” Burt said rudely.

 

“What, oh uh huh, I know good and damn well that fathead, dumb ass is not talking about me. I wasn’t sure before but I am now you’re not just rude, you’re stupid as hell! You will not be getting a list of my patients that is classified and you do not have clearance for that, besides do you realize that security wise I out rank you greatly.” Akiva said sounding extremely irritated with the annoying man.

 

“Is that so, well why don’t I just make a few calls and we’ll just see about that!” Burt said sounding doubtful.

 

“There’s no need for that here this is for you.” Prescott said as he handed the man his cell phone. He smiled when he saw the expression on the man’s pasty face as it turned several shades, from pasty to pale, then from pale to red and finally to a ghostly ash tone.

 

“Yes sir, sorry that your evening was interrupted, no sir I promise it won’t happen again. Yes I will have a good night sir.” Burt said to the person on the other end of the phone before handing it back to Prescott. “He wants to talk to you again.”

 

Prescott accepted the phone back and spoke with the person briefly before ending the call as he turned to Burt.

 


Now is there anything you don’t understand about what you were just told or is everything a bit more clearly now?” Prescott asked.

 


I get it, for this investigation Alexis will be taking the lead and we’ll be assisted by your team Five Nations International. At no point during this investigation is Dr. Jennings to give us a list of her patients. If you’ll excuse me I’ll go check with the others to see what they’ve come up with.” Burt said as he quickly walked away.

 


Mr. Hawk would you mind telling me what all that was about, what is going on and why did Burt say that I’ll be taking the lead?” Alexis asked not understanding what had just happened or who was on the other end of that call.

 


I placed a call to my team leader and he placed a call to your superior, when he put us on three way I explained to him what was going on here and let’s just say he didn’t appreciate what he heard. So I along with my boss and your boss felt that it would be best if you took the lead in this investigation.” Prescott explained.

 


Congratulations on your promotion, girl it couldn’t have come at a better time. I know I can trust you to handle things with care, class and competence. Now if you’re done with us can Prescott and I leave because my feet are killing me?” Akiva asked Alexis with a bright smile.

 


Sure, that’s fine I’ll need to know where I can reach you.” Alexis said giving them permission to leave.

 


You can reach me on my cell here is my card you can reach me at that number anytime.” Akiva said.

 


Or you could just talk to her tomorrow when you come to the team meeting I think that the information has already been sent to your phone.” Prescott said as he walked over to pick up Akiva’s bag.
