Chapter 40
Chapter 40
The trailer is damp and dark Two solemn-looking officers sat on a table piled high with walkie -talkies,
badges, and cold cups of coffee, facing a giant monitor. The fan in the corner does little to cool things
down, and the whole place is wired shut like a prison cell, with no windows and thus no connection to
the outside world. It’s much smaller than I expected from the outside, and I find myself frozen in place
for a few moments after entering. “Chelsea,” Christie says behind me, placing an arm around my
shoulders. “Everything will be okay, sweetheart. The orphanage will not suffer, and Dave will be alright.”
She appears nervous but still manages to calm me down. That is my sister, brave as ever. “They’re in!”
shouts one of the agents. Christie and I shuffled our way around the table. We stare earnestly at the
big screen, focusing on each movement while holding our breath. Inside the building, the two actors
pretending to be investors are dressed to look the part perfectly. Their hair is neat and they are both in
stylish-looking business suits. They sit around a large rectangular table in a barren room with the paint
peeling from the walls. Dave had mentioned before that Sebastian insisted the meeting take place
here, as it is where he does his “off the books” transactions.
Inside the trailer, everyone is quiet and tense. All the agents’ eyes are glued to the screen. My thoughts
are only of Dave. He is somewhere in the building, but I have no idea where. I try to recall the details of
the plan, but my memory is sketchy because I am so panicked. “Look,” Christie whispers, pointing at
the monitor. I look up and see Sebastian walking into the room. He seems a lot thinner than when we
last saw him and has a scruffy, untamed beard. By the looks of things, the business has not been going
well for him. Not surprisingly, Brown Inc. has taken a big blow over the last few weeks. Not only has
Dave left the company, but a lot of his other employees have followed suit and resigned over the
rumours of Sebastian’s illegal activities. More will undoubtedly follow once they turn on the nightly news
later. This, I imagine, is a last attempt for him to get at least a fraction of his company back
“Gentlemen… please sit,” Sebastian instructs. Let me just begin by saying that I know you’ve heard
rumours about my company. But I assure you that it’s all hearsay and a pathetic attempt by my
competitors and, unfortunately, my partner, to ruin my reputation. The actors stare at him and nod. “I
can assure you that Brown Inc. is an outstanding company that takes care of its employees and does
not indulge in any illegal activities.” Well, maybe for a few here and there, “he laughs.”
“What kind of activities are you referring to, Sir?” one of the actors asks in a calm, business voice.
“Bear in mind that if we’re to invest, we need to know the dealings of the company we’re partnering
with.” “Yes, of course. Well, as you know, mining is not an easy business. Not to mention when you are
operating in a foreign country. “Look,” he leans forward, elbows resting on the table, his eyes focused
on his potential partners.
Sometimes the best places to mine are well… not exactly ideal, but I run a business here and I
have to do what is necessary at times. “And what does that require?” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Well, it requires mining near residential areas, neighbourhoods, and communities where people live.
Do you think Brown, Inc. became so successful because we dug where everyone else was digging?
No! We had to stray from the pack. We had to venture out on our own and dig where everyone else
was afraid to.”
“That’s it!” one of the agents shouts beside me. “We got him!”
Sebastian, your competitors don’t mine in residential areas because it’s illegal. I am sure you’re aware
of that.” Sebastian leans back in his seat and folds his arms across his chest. His relaxed attitude
indicates that he had no idea what was going on.
“Yes, but how successful are they?” “Success is paramount to me, gentlemen. I have spent my life
doing whatever it takes to achieve success, even if it means displacing a few people. Listen, it’s not
that hard. All you do is mine in the neighbourhood and then, a few years later, build a school or health
centre. By then, they would have forgotten ever being misplaced.” “Move now!” I’ve heard enough of
this son of a bitch!” the police agent beside me shouts. The next thing I know, the police, secretly
waiting in the building, storm into the meeting. “Police! Don’t Move! Police!”
Sebastian appears visibly stunned beyond belief. Within seconds, an officer cuffed him and read him
his rights. “Wait! What’s going on? What is this? I have done nothing wrong!”
“Game’s over, Sebastian,” Dave suddenly says, striding into the room. “Dave!” I should’ve known you
were behind this!” Sebastian screams at his son. I’m just revealing the truth to you, partner. You had to
be stopped!” “Stop what exactly? I’m just doing what everyone else is afraid to do. How do you think I
live in the mansion with you and your expensive apartment and drive a fancy car? How did you think
the company was so successful? It’s all my idea. Everything is mine. I just used your name and
connection. Do you believe that we did it by playing by the rules?”
“You acquired all those things by ruining people’s lives, Sebastian! Doesn’t that mean anything to you?”
“Dave, how could you? After all that I have done for you?” Sebastian spits with what looks like hate in
his eyes. By this point, the officer is dragging Sebastian across the room. “You ungrateful little prick! I’m
your partner!! How could you?” His screams echo through the monitor. I turned to find Christie sobbing
uncontrollably.
“I can’t believe I ever loved him,” she whimpers.
“It’s okay, Christie. Don’t blame yourself. You had no idea he was like this. Now he’s going to be locked
away for good.” She nods, but I know it will be a while before she fully gets over it
all. For now, she will just have to take it day by day. Suddenly, the trailer door swings open and Dave
appears. I impulsively leave Christie’s side, dash across the trailer, and jump out into his arms,
wrapping my legs tightly around his waist and snuggling my face in his neck. “It’s okay, Chelsea,” he
murmurs. “I told you we’d stop him.” I stare into his eyes while mine fills with tears. He kisses me with
urgency. “I’ve wanted to do that since I saw you this morning.” Behind us, all the agents piled out of the
trailer to regroup with the others who were in the building.
“I think I’ll leave you two alone for a bit,” Christie says with a suggestive smile before she follows them.
As soon as we are alone, Dave pushes me back into the trailer and gets himself in, pulling the doors
closed behind him. Before I can even ask what the hell he is doing, he swipes all of the items off the
table and moves the monitor onto the floor. He picks me up again and lowers me down gently onto the
table and begins to unbutton my blouse and trousers. He kisses what seems like every part of my body,
from my collarbone to my nipples and lower back. I tilt my head back in ecstasy. “I’ve missed you so
much…” he whispers in my ear before he climbs on top of me. He unzips his pants and slides his long,
thick cock inside of me. My back arched on impact and I let out a small cry so no one outside would
hear. “Oh… Dave,” I moan, my nails digging into his back. He glides his shaft in and out of my wet
pussy with quickening speed. A few minutes later, neither of us can hold on any longer and we explode
into euphoria. Just as I catch my breath, I shoot him a devious smile.
