Our Secret Identities Chapter 50 – Ricky’s Claustrophobic
“Hi Les” Simone says stepping onto the elevator with Richard. “Why are you taking the normal elevator?”“Maintenance are doing scheduled repairs on the private elevator” Lester says with frustration in his voice as the doors close behind them. They had barely begun the decent to the ground floor, when there was a jolt and the elevator stops dead. Everything turns pitch black except a red emergency light flashing in the small space.“What happened?” Richard asks, looking around him. He knows what to do in these circumstances; however, he had a fear he couldn’t control. He was fine; until he was locked in a confined space. The other two hadn’t noticed, he was starting to breath heavier, taking deeper breaths to calm himself down.“Fucking maintenance” Lester screams, pushing the button on the emergency speaker. Waiting a moment; ‘that’s odd’ he says to himself as no response comes back. ‘There is always someone manning the station.’Pulling out his phone; he turns the flashlight on befo
Our Secret Identities Chapter 51 – You Got Us Out
“Where exactly are we?” Richard asks, pushing on the emergency hatch above them. “Are we close to any of the floors or are we in between levels.”“I don’t know” Lester says, wondering how he could be slumped in the corner unable to breathe one minute and looking for a way out the next. ‘He has the same look in his eyes as Emmett when he gets pissed off with someone’ he says to himself. ‘Maybe that’s a good thing.’Glancing at Lester’s expression; “I’m too pissed off to worry about it. The hatch is sealed; probably done before we got on. There is an emergency override for the doors. If we are close to one of the floors, we may be able to get out.”“There’s a bomb or something” Simone gasps; as Richard looks at her confused.“What do you mean?” he asks, concerned the whole elevator will drop the two stories or the three of them will be killed in an explosion. Shaking his head to get those thoughts out of his mind; he calls Emmett; “where is the bomb situated?” he asks, not letting him a
Our Secret Identities Chapter 52 – Do Things Legally
Richard, Lester and Emmett met in Richard’s office the next day. “I don’t want to go back to what I was in high school” Richard says to the two men in front of him. “I understand Dad needs to pay for putting us through the ordeal. I want to do things legally and I know what will hurt him the most.”“What are you proposing?” Lester asks, glancing between the brothers.“He built this company from scratch. No-one could tell him what to do because he knew better” Richard explains, a grin appearing on his face. “Here is a list of clients I remember. I think we need to get in contact with them and tell them about Dad’s little misdeed. Have them seek out what building products were used to what they paid to have.”Lester lets out a laugh; “are you sure you two aren’t the same person?”Emmett grunts at Lester’s question, a grin appearing on his face. “We are brothers” he mentions, rolling his eyes. “I was telling Les; it would be a shame if some of his old clients got wind of it. It will be h
Our Secret Identities Chapter 53 – I’ll Talk to Her
Back at the Lester Drake Media building; Emmett and Lester had head of maintenance, Mario in Lester’s office. Lester had received the police report on what happened. Once the explosives were safely removed; the control panel had a stalling device on it. It was triggered when the elevator opened on the third floor.“All we are asking is why, you weren’t at your post yesterday?” Lester questions. His voice may have been calm; the piercing glare he was giving, made Mario nervous.“Nobody was here in maintenance” Mario states; looking between Emmett and Lester, not wanting to stick around if one of them cracked.“That much we know” Emmett scoffs; shifting his position on the sofa. “We want to know why there was nobody here.”‘For two CEO’s; they really don’t know what happens in their company’ Mario says in his mind. He would never say it out loud; but he often thought it. “Because there was a scheduled maintenance on the private elevator” Mario informs the pair.Lester starts rubbing his
Our Secret Identities Chapter 54 – Planting a Seed of Doubt
Richard was about to leave for the afternoon, when a knock comes on his office door. “Enter” he calls out, thinking it was his new personal assistant Tyrone giving his schedule for the following day. Richard thought it was best to take a leaf out of Emmett’s book and hire a male assistant that doubled as a bodyguard, curtesy of Jason.When the door opened; Barry walked in. “Afternoon” Barry says, taking a seat in front of Richards’s desk.“What can I help you with?” Richard asks, continuing to pack up his things.“The changes you requested to the National Building and Albert Square Complex were completed. We should be able to proceed with the final stages tomorrow” Barry says, getting up from his seat again; deciding not to do what he originally planned.“They were changes that could have been avoided” Richard states, glancing up from the paperwork he was filing in his desk. ‘I don’t know if I can trust him; now that I think about it. He has worked for Dad, longer than I can remembe
Our Secret Identities Chapter 55 – Tradition is Tradition
“Yes Mrs Murphy; since I have taken over the business, I had noticed a discrepancy on the books for our current clients. Since I wasn’t allowed to view the bookwork previously, I dug a little deeper. I got the invoices for the building materials we used for your establishment and wanted to double check; you were invoiced correctly” Richard states over the phone as Emmett walks through the front door.“He’s been on the phone since he got home” Simone informs Emmett, who raised an eyebrow at her. “Sandy has a modelling gig out of town; he came back here.”“Mrs Murphy; Your invoice would have been itemised. If you were invoiced incorrectly, Dad will need to rectify his mistake. I will be willing to stand in court; clarifying what I found and how Emmett, Lester and myself went about to ensure the mistake was fixed. We don’t want to have a bad reputation because my father didn’t do the right thing” Richard continues his conversation, nodding his head slightly to say hello to Emmett. “Thank
Our Secret Identities Chapter 56 – Chicken, Fish or Steak
The next day; Emmett and Richard left for work; while Simone, Vince and Tiffany were meeting with the Plaza Hotel to organise the catering and seating for the reception. “What do you mean; you’ve double booked the reception room?” Tiffany yells at Adam, the Maître d. “We had this booked three weeks ago, when it wasn’t double booked. Do I need to get Mr Spencer or Ms Simmons here for you to explain to them why they don’t have a reception room?”“Sorry Miss” Adam trembles; not wanting to disappoint the high-profile customers of Drake Spencer or Leona Simmons. “I..I wasn’t the person to book the second group. I will call the Rocky Valley Women’s Association and ask them to reschedule.”“You do that” Tiffany spits, turning to walk over to where Simone was seated, saying ‘double booking my ass,’ under her breath.“You’re laying it on a bit thick, aren’t you?” Simone giggles, glancing up from the seating plan she was working on with Vince. “So far, we have seated 465 guests. Did we need to
Our Secret Identities Chapter 57 – Uncle Barry
Emmett shows up at Peterson Properties a little under the half hour as stated. Walking into Richard’s office; “Why do I need to be here?” he asks, taking a seat in front of Richard’s desk. “You are doing Simone’s office space.”“I thought you preferred to be kept informed” Richard explains, picking up his phone and messaging Barry to come back to his office. “I’m informing you.”Shaking his head; Emmett knew there was something else going on; he just didn’t know what. As he was going to question further, Barry walks through the door. Emmett recognises him, but is unable to place where he knew him from. ‘I know him’ Emmett thinks to himself; ‘from where?’“Emms, this is Barry our building foreman” Richard introduces as Emmett offers his hand to shake.“Do I know you from somewhere?” Emmett asks, still trying to figure out how he knew Barry.As Barry was about to answer; Simone walked through the doorway. “We finished early; I came dow…” she begins to say before stopping her sentence; “
