Chapter 34-Surveillance
The thing was there were no guards or even surveillance cameras on Ryan’s premises.
He never thought he needed one.
Besides he lived there with his werewolf boys. They needed their privacy to morph or shed.
Ryan needed to premises only to his pack.
Besides, who would dare to ransack a mafia’s terrain. What criminal would dare that?
Not anyone clever, not even a stupid one.
Ryan could not deny Sherry’s claims any longer after she made her point.
The reddish finger marks were still very visible.
And Ryan was as furious as he was annoyed.
“How dare they! ” He hit the middle of his table with the back of his hand. Everything trembled and shook over it and it was about to fall.
” They broke into my house? This is unacceptable!
Did they forget who I am?
I want answers”
He yelled looking at poor Josh.
“I want to know who’s behind this!”
“Yes, boss. We’ll find out. Let’s start by reviewing the CCTV footage from the cameras on the roads leading to our house.”
Josh didn’t look like it but he could be very intelligent when he needed to be or wanted. Even Ryan acknowledged that.
“Good idea. Get me the footage as soon as possible. I want to know who did this. I want to trust my hand down his mouth, wriggle his insides out and then make him eat his own vomit. ”
Ryan was typically into his character as he twitched his hand, acting out his revenge.
Suddenly he stopped as Sherry tapped him on his shoulders.
” You don’t need to be this discreet, you know. Nobody asked for your detailed description. ”
Ryan was stunned at her words and didn’t know how to answer.
” Ahem! Right away, Boss. I’ll have my team pull the footage and start reviewing it.”
Josh coughed and left as he sensed the awkward silence building between the un- proclaimed couple.
Ryan looked up at Sherry with a confident swagger, trying to flirt with his aggressiveness.
“Mind if I grab a drink while my boys are at work? ”
He pretended to fall over her but she ducked her way away.
” Would you like to grab a drink with me? It will clear your mind and let you think ahead of your lipstick, underwear and socks. ”
Sherry rolled her eyes with disgust,
“Actually, I’m not interested. Thanks, though.”
“Come on, don’t be like that. I just want to get to know you better.”
It seemed like Ryan had other plans.
“I said no, and I mean it. Please leave me alone.”
Sherry gazed furiously back at him.
Ryan didn’t take the hint and continued to lean in closer to Sherry, invading her personal space.
It seemed like he was asking for her rebuttal
“What’s wrong, sweetheart? Are you afraid to have a little fun? It’s not like this will be our first time.”
His smirk was dangerously serious.
Sherry pushed Ryan back firmly, clearly annoyed and uncomfortable.
“I said no. Don’t touch me and don’t talk to me like that. Respect my boundaries. Please. You said you would not exploit me according to our contract. Besides, I am still very worried about my stuff. ”
Ryan looked taken aback and slightly embarrassed by Sherry’s reaction, but he tried to save face.
His face was almost red and he took a deep breath as he looked in another direction.
Just then Ryan’s phone rang and Josh called him where they were checking the surveillance footage.
Luckily, Ryan’s men were quick at work . They retrieved the CCTV footage and even began analyzing it.
There was there technical assistant who was carefully scrutinizing the video footage and zooming in on the images,
“Sir, we have something. Here’s a car that drove by your house at around the same time the break-in might have . ”
Ryan ordered, “Show me.” As Sherry eagerly edged her way forward.
The assistant said pointing to the footage,
“Here it is, sir. The car is a black sedan. It looks like it slows down as it passes by your house.”
“I want you to track it down and find out who owns it. We need to bring them in for questioning.”
Josh steps in this time.
” Yes, sir. We’ll get right on it.”
The assistant nodded as he started further zooming in.
After what was several minutes he looked back at them disappointed.
” There is no number plate on that car sir. It seems the car must have been stolen. ”
Josh looked at Ryan and he looked back.
They knew just the person who would know about all the stolen cars in the city.
He owned a garage in the suburban area. He was a mechanic by that day. But the night was his playground.
He was someone who knew about Ryan and his boy’s secret, that is, he knew that they were werewolves.
He was literally brought up by them. But now he was an old man while Ryan and his boys were still young and playful.
He joked with them like an old friend.
” Let’s go to Chong’s place immediately. I can’t keep my calm till I find this car and its owner. ”
Ryan was about to head out as Sherry too started following behind.
” Where do you think you are going? ”
Ryan asked, a little concerned and a little amused.
” With you. To find the person who took my thing. ”
Josh and the others laughed out loud.
” It’s no place for small fries like you delicate missy. They would toss you and gobble you up without even burping. ”
Their laughter went louder and louder till it annoyed Sherry so much that it made her more determined.
It was like she had that urge to prove herself.
” I don’t care. I am going to bring my stuff back. ”
She went around and sat inside Ryan’s car and then slammed the door shut.
