Chapter 610 - List with names (1/2)

JoAnna and Jeff were in the back of the car, approaching a property in the outskirts of Los Angeles. Driveway is very long, and the building is not visible from the street. Only when they took a turn, JoAnna could see a well-lit colonial style mansion.

”Safe house?”, JoAnna guessed.

”Yes.”

Men dressed in black suits greeted them at the door and led them to the basement.

JoAnna and Jeff entered a room without windows. Walls are gray and bare. In the middle of the room is a metal table with four chairs around it. One chair is occupied by Enrique Nanez. He is chained to the metal table in front of him.

Enrique saw Jeff and JoAnna enter and he smiled smugly. At first, when those bodyguards brought him here, he was afraid. But as the time passed, he saw that they are not going to hurt him. No matter what he said, they just stood there without responding. That gave him confidence that they will not hurt him. They must fear him… or that Boss who is above him. That is why they are not hurting him. He is confident that Jeff and JoAnna came to talk and then they will let him go.

The more Enrique thought about it, the more his smile widened.

JoAnna stood few steps away from the metal table opposite Enrique and started going through her bag.

POW!

Jeff punched Enrique in the face.

Enrique groaned and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. He wanted to wipe it, but he was tied to the chair and his hands were chained to the table, so he couldn't reach.

JoAnna looked at Jeff with a blank expression on her face. ”That was not necessary.”

”It was. I'm waiting all day to do that.” He was thinking if he should punch Enrique one more time or not.

”Oh… OK.” JoAnna realized that Jeff was letting out some steam.

JoAnna got a capsule of her truth serum and injected it into Enrique.

Enrique stared at her in horror. ”What is that?”

”Two minutes.” JoAnna told Jeff, ignoring Enrique.

Few minutes later, Enrique was talking. JoAnna's audio recorder on the table didn't bother him at all.

He told them that few weeks ago he was approached by a man, offering him to take revenge for his bankruptcy. When Enrique said that he is interested, man left and few days later Enrique got a phone call from a man he addressed as a Boss.

Just like Blanca, Enrique never met Boss in person. They exchanged few emails, and the rest of communication was done via phone.

Since Sarah and Aiden took his phones earlier, they will be able to compare information from Enrique's phones with what Blanca provided and confirm if two of them used the same email and number.

Just as when they thought that they are not getting much more from Enrique, he mentioned a list which was provided to him by that Boss.

”He gave me a list with five or six names and told me to pick one. Some names I didn't recognize, but I recognized Jeffrey White, so I picked you. Because you are the reason I accepted his offer, so he gave me Blanca's contact information. She was expecting my call and arranged my background as a real-estate agent in her company.” Enrique told Jeff.

”What offer?” Jeff asked.

”To get my revenge. He told me that JoAnna should be my target to get to you. He didn't care what I do to either of you. I thought it's a sweet deal. He will provide me with information and opportunity, and I get my revenge.”

”What does he get out of that deal?” Jeff knows that the other person will not go to all this trouble without gaining something out of it.
