The Sins of Anna
Chapter 50 Candy Chaos 16

Chapter Sixteen

"Hellish Nightmare Strikes Local Movie Cinema." I read today's headlines from The Daily Read local newspaper out loud. The papers have been in a frenzy over the drug attacks. The drug was being called Candy due to its appearance that looks like children's chewable vitamins. Originally, I had traced the source of the drugs distribution to the Golden Dragon Clan, However with Michovali dead, his daughter Serena Missing in action, and even now the newly discovered Michovali illegitimate child David Johnson has disappeared since the kidnapping incident. This is where the lead ends though I suspect since they were working together that Elder Berston has something to do with this. However, without proof I just need to sit and wait for their next move. Till then I am stuck with an unwelcomed guest when I accepted a meeting with the chief of police today when he showed up outside the manor.

The Chief of police was sitting on the white long sofa leaning forward his elbows on his knees his hands cupped together. He looked to be in his late forties with black hair and blue eyes. He defiantly wasn't comfortable coming to the Feng manor as he stared across the glass table at Ren who said nothing he was looking away as if he didn't care what the man wanted. He was dressed in a fine tailored armoire white suit that made his eyes gleam more menacing. Maliki place to glasses of brandy on the coffee table before Ren and the Officer. Turning and reaching out for the glass quietly picking it up I take a savoring sip. Through the glass I watch the officer and I can't help arching and eyebrow in amusement. The man looks at the glass as if he expected it to be poisoned.

"Officer Genero;" I spoke his name sound of amusements in my voice as I swirled the brandy gently in my glass watching it then looking up at the man as the man came to attention. "It's considered rude to refuse our hospitality even if it's just a drink." I say taking another swig if I wanted to kill him poison would be to cowardly. The man Genero quickly grabs the glass throwing back the entire glass of brandy in one swig.

Clearing his throat, "Mr. Feng you should know every well why I have come." I nod. Of course, there was nothing in this town I didn't know about. Well that's not true I chuckle to myself my thoughts on Anna. There were many mysteries that I had yet to unravel about my bride to be. After Silverman's proposal, I because very interested in her past but have barley found anything on her. other than her jobs, school info, residency and the fact as a baby she was orphaned. No information on parentage. The cop suddenly slams his hand on the coffee table glaring at me breaking my train of thought. "It seems the rumor is spreading that it's your men distrib…."

I hold up my hand cutting off what the officer was about to say. Taking another swig gently placing the glass on the table, the room silent. Sitting back up and staring at the officer. "The rumor is false." I growl eyes burn into the officers who looks afraid pulling back regretting how he just acted rashly.

"Of course." The Officer stammers scratching the back of his head a look of panic on his face as he tried to laugh it off.

The door to the room suddenly opens with a light knock. Looking over to the door cold expression still on my face I watch Anna walk in. Her long blonde hair falling around her face as she was leaning down to remove her long knee high black wedged boots. Damnit; talk about bad timing. She was supposed to be on patrol in town with Mike and the men.

I glare at her intrusion. As if sensing eyes on her she looks up frowning as she looks to me and then to the officer. "Forgive me for intruding my lord, I had something to report but I will come back later." She turns on her heels to leave. The way her hips swing back and forth in those tight faded jeans makes me growl with hunger. Her expression was so serious she understood the mood right but something in her wavering eyes called to me.

"Wait," I call out watching her stop in her tracks she glances back over her shoulder a wisk of a smile on her face. "Come sit," I hold my hand out to her as she turns back walking to me. The flowery smell that's hers seeps into me as she removes her black leather jacket and gun harness, I watch as she hands them to Maliki a sweet thanks leaves her lips. She takes her place next to me. Her tight navy-blue spaghetti strap tank sticking to her body in all the right places and makes it so easy to look down. As she snuggles up against me. This damn woman has me hypnotized does she know how crazy she makes me feel. "What report did you have for me." I ask trying to keep composer despite having her so close. She shifts her body so she can look up at me then looks over at the officer I can see the look in her eyes clear as day. She's afraid if it's okay to talk about the matter in front of the officer. "Your back early did something happen." She nods.

"Mike's hurt." She mumbles lowly meeting my eyes. "it's not serious but I thought you would want to know, should I go stay with him while you're busy?" She tilts her head in question. Like hell do I want her tending to another man.

The sound of a man clearing his throat breaks the tension of our conversation. "If I might be so bold how was he hurt young miss?" The officer asks his eyes transfixed on Anna. I watch her look at him and then back at me. "Does it have anything to do with The Candy?"

"Does it my sweet." I ask my hand caressing her hair to reassure her that it's okay to speak.

"Partly. I think at least, but it was different this time." I couldn't help worrying about her words.

"How was it different?" Again, she looks over at the officer who is leaning forward trying to hear as well.

"Hey, look girl, I'm a good guy here I want to stop this too if you have any information then you should be sharing it with us since you say it's not your doing." I can't help but notice the man saying that part especially from me.

"It wasn't just civilians on the drug." I can see the horror in her eyes. "David, and some of the men that I recognized from before." Damn why did it have to be him is she still in love with that man that she makes this kind of face. Damnit look at me getting jealous over a bastard I know she doesn't love, but I can't help feeling she still might when he comes up.

"Go on." I got to stay calm or she might become too afraid to talk.

"I don't know it was like they were out of their mind kind of like the Candy drug but it was more like they were high on it but still knew what they were doing. I don't know how to put it but no matter the injury they got they were getting up like they felt nothing, nothing at all, and they weren't attacking the same as other cases they used weapons the moved fast like it was a robot that loved to kill. The expression on their faces were horrifying. David came for me he knew it was me I could tell as he watched me. Before cases where random attacks this was a deliberate hunt it felt like. If Mike hadn't." I Could now hear the pain in her voice. "Mike's hurt because I froze. I haven't had that issue in a long time but." Suddenly she stood turning from me taking a deep breath. I could tell she was trying to control her emotions. Officer Genero I notice was watching. She turned back around her face back to stone. I will go check on his wound for you Re… My Lord he should be done getting examined by now and then I will let you know. Turning on her heels quickly she left.

"Pretty strong women you got here at the Feng Manor." The officer says turning his attention back to me.

"Woman." I correct. "She's the only woman here and she's mine." The officer's expression almost looks annoyed hearing the last bit.

"I didn't know the great Lord Feng was such a possessive bastard. What I heard is you slept with many women and never the same woman twice, but it seems that isn't true. Now back to the matter at hand as I said before if it's not you then we should work together to replace the source of the drug and stop this before it gets worse."

"We don't need your help, you need ours." I smile at the officer who was now trying to sound like a man confident in front of me so suddenly after seeing Anna. Bastard probably fell for her too.

"What the hell are you saying our objective is the same."

"Don't worry officer we will let you know what we uncover in turn you will owe us one." I stand watching his face turn colors so easy to understand he wants to back out thinking he would have to own anyone from the mafia because we are above the law.

"You bastards are all the same you don't care unless you get something out of it."

"What's wrong with a little give and take. Don't worry I'll let Anna contact you on what we uncover." I chuckle as I turn, hands in my pocket heading to the double doors, Maliki already waiting there opens the door following me out.

"Damn bastards not even bothering to show me out." The officer whispers getting on his feet to head for the door. "That girl was really something though even to an old man like me. Lucky bastard."
