Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0242

Agreeing to feed them was a mistake. I should have known that. We went to an all-you-can-eat buffet, and they never seemed to want to fucking stop! Even the staff looked disgusted at the amount of food they were eating. The staff had been far from impressed with the scruffiness of the clothes my new acquaintances had on, and the fact they looked like they had not washed in about a month... but I had given the waitress a tip to allow us to have a table, without question, and she allowed us a table, otherwise I believe we would have been declined entry into the place to begin with.

And then as the meal went on, and they were returning time upon time to the buffet, I felt incredibly ashamed. So many eyes upon us... considering they said they rarely ate, you'd think their stomachs would have shrunk, and would limit their ability to eat so excessively, but no. These fuckers were eating anything and everything they physically could. If anything, they would be near emptying the entire buffet. And the dark glares from other visitors to the buffet were only confirmation of that. I could see the staff muttering to one another at the waiter's station, making me wonder if they were debating which one would come and tell us they could have no more.

Well, I think I would be doing their job for them, because not only were they being greedy little fucks, they were holding me up in finding Bailey. "Right, I know I said we could get food, but I also need to go and find my mate, remember." I snapped. "You want that money, you get your asses into gear, and we need to get moving. You have eaten enough to last you a fucking lifetime."

The greedy bastards just smirked at one another but nodded. "We go and find you car now?" the main man suggested. "There hire place down street."

If I had known that, I would already have been and arranged it. "I will go and speak with them."

And quickly I made my way to the car hire office, but the moment I stepped into their parking area my heart felt like it stopped at the sight of a car I had seen earlier. The sly little fuckers... I felt my anger bubbling once again as Jet snarled loudly in fury, only causing my small group of followers to glance at me anxiously wondering if they had angered me.

"All okay?" one asked.

I shook my head. "They changed cars. I don't know what car to look for now." I explained, pointing toward the car I had seen Bailey climb into with her sister only a short time ago. The car that had driven her away from me. I could not believe they had been so devious...

"We ask for security camera then. See what they leave in." the main man suggested.

"They won't give out that information, or allow just anyone to view it." I told him with a look of despair, thinking he was a fool for even believing they would.

"Then we force them. I can hack system." He smirk.

I looked at him in surprise. "Oh really?"

He shrugged like it was nothing. "We rogues, we need to get by. We need to get in places with no trace. Delete camera proof. Or hack computer." He is smiling at me, like he is proud of the skills they have, yet I am simply shocked, considering I had already dismissed them as being fairly simple... "Well, let's go!" I urged as we moved to the door.

"Hi, welcome!" the lady behind the desk greeted me with a friendly smile, as the others lingered outside, doing what I was unsure of. But right now, that was not my focus. I needed a hire car to get me to Autumn Valley.

"Hi." I put on my most charming smile. "I need a hire car please while I am visiting my friends." I lied.

She nodded with a friendly smile, offering me a teaflet to leaf through to select the most suitable car. In all honesty, there just needed to be a car that got me there quickly, but wanted something that could be sturdy if I needed to go off road too... because who knew where this chase might take us. "One of these should be fine." I pointed to a large truck, similar the one my Dad had.

She smiled in agreement. "Sounds fine. I just need a few details."

And then I had to spend some time filling in the paperwork she provided to me, as well as showing her the necessary ID, before providing her my credit card to pay for the car hire. As she processed my payment I felt compelled to ask about the car outside.

"Did the people whose car that is, leave long ago? I am certain it is my friend's car." I asked with a friendly smile.

"Oh the truck?" she looked out of the window in the direction I had pointed. “Hmm, a little while, maybe an hour or so, I didn't pay attention.”

"What car did they take, do you know?" I quickly asked. "Seems so odd they would hire a car when they have such a nice car already."

Her eyes narrowed to look at me. "We don't hand out information, I am afraid."

I nodded. “Oh, sure, I understand. I will ask him when I see him." I quickly added, so it seemed less suspicious.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Her face seemed to portray a little less ease now in the conversation after my questioning, as she offered е me my keys. "Your car is the gray one next to the fence, on the right, okay she told me, pointing out of the window. "Thank you. Have a good day. You can return the car here or to any of our depots."

I nodded. "Great, thanks." I made my way to the door, only wondering now how we would discover what car Bailey was now returning home in, so I could hunt her down, when I heard a loud scuffle around the corner. I couldn't see the rogues that were meant to be waiting for me. So I quickly followed the noise, not to mention the smell. Only to find another door, which led to an office... a security office. Where right now these delightful, accomplices of mine were attacking the guard, who was now currently pinned to the floor, seemingly unconscious, while one of the girls was breaking into the safe, and the main man was toying with the security system computer. Seems these guys were proving very helpful...
