"… What marriage docunt?" Redwick asked not understanding what he's young master ant.
"You know… the one little docunt, the thing that caused this whole trouble." I said as I pointed around us.
"Umm… Can you be more specific?"
"You know the marriage contract father had the drunk earl sign so that Samantha here and I would get married… Forcefully." I said as Redwick finally understood it.
"Oh! That contract… unfortunately, The master didn't tell where he put it."
"Not even you?"
"No, I'm sorry."
"How about you?" I asked Anna but she shook her head.
"I didn't even know sothing like that existed."
Fuck! This is a setback.
"Do we really need to destroy that thing?"
"Yes, we do." Samantha nodded heavily, "Otherwise father wouldn't believe ."
I gave a sigh, "Alright then… we look for it."
Hearing , Redwick and Anna started looking for it. But I had a feeling as I saw them searching mindlessly and knew that they wouldn't find it.
"Do you have any idea where he could have put it?" Samantha asked .
"No, If I knew about it then don't you think I would have started with that."
"Yeah, your right." Samantha said as she dejectedly looked around for the thing.
Seeing them really trying to find a useless piece of paper, I felt that I needed to contribute too... but not like them. Trying to find it like that would wield no result.
I need to think, be accurate and look where I would have put sothing like that.
NO! I need to think like him.
Now where would a power hungry, rich bald guy with a fetish for banging maids put sothing special like that?
He was crude but intelligent and also kind of stupid according to so maids I heard soti.
So where could it be?
I turned and looked around every point of the room. The Bookstand, Liquor Cabinet, Second Liquor Cabinet, main desk-"
My eyes glistened over the large portrait of the bald fucker and stopped.
'It ouldn't seriously be there, could it? Nobody would be that stupid?'
I thought but still there was sothing about it that made suspicious and go towards it.
Standing in front of the painting, I look at the massive photo of a bald man smiling happily as he showed his teeths and a golden one. At the right corner of the painting there was a date written but I went beyond that and moved the edge.
The photo slid away and there was a black small black space.
'Unbelievable! There really is a sonething here.'
I take the painting out and throw it aside and the noise from it drew all attention there. All three pairs of eyes widened as Samantha spoke softly, "A safe?"
"Hmm… Seems like this maybe it." I said and looked at the safe that had a wheel attached to it.
"Redwick, do you know the sequence for it?"
"No master, I didn't think that there was a safe there for so long."
My brows creased and I looked at the wheel as an idea ford into my head. A very stupid one indeed.
I take the wheel and turn it clockwise three tis and surprisingly there was a click sound and the lock opened up. Not only but everyone else had the sa thought too.
'Seriously?'
I was about to open the safe as I rembered sothing and turned back.
"Miss Samantha, could you?"
She understood imdiately and nodded, "Of course."
After that she walked out of the room followed by Anna and Redwick, who understood that I wanted privacy.
As Anna went outside and I heard the sound of the door locking, my hand pulled at the heavy lock and slowly it opened up.
Money, Gold and riches, I gotta be shitting if I didn't say that all those were here. The safe was similar to 2 cubic ters or one very big cubic ter.
Inside it were a lot of money and quite a few gold bars. Looking beyond the shining gold bars and jewelry, I saw papers, docunts and so scrolls at the very end.
"I'm sure it's here." I said and even though I was tempted to count the money and gold bars, I start looking at the papers.
Shit!
This papers were the real shit.
Illegal houses, properties, businesses, deals and even illegal drug related stuff was all written in these docunts. There were records here written in clear detail about which place did what, where and who to contact.
No wonder this guy was killed. Not only was this guy rich on papers, but under that… he was very very rich. Rich enough to say he owned almost half of the rchandises being sold in the black market.
So why the hell was this guy hiding out over here in the middle of nowhere town?
Questions upon questions filled my head but I cooled them down for the ti and searched for the paper. Papers upon papers went away and I still didn't find it.
Finally I looked at the two scrolls that I haven't looked at yet.
Opening the first one, my eyes glimred in happiness. 'Found it!'
'So if this is the marriage contract then what is this? Might just be another illegal deal related.'
I open the second scroll and my eyes widened in fear and quickly close it then put it inside the safe and lock it.
'Holy Fuck! I can't take this shit right now.'
'Let's just take care of the matter at hand first.'
I wipe my sweat and take a few breathes before opening the door and showing it.
"I think this is it."
Samantha looked at the paper and she smiled, "Yes… YES! This is the one. Thank you for helping ."
"No worries, I was helping myself too." I said, "So now that we got the docunt, what do we do?"
"We burn it." She said and sohow magically the piece of paper caught on fire as I look at the paper turning to ash and falling down.
"So what are you going to do now?"
"Now… I think I will go ho and have a long talk with my father." Samantha said while crushing the ash in her hands.
