The Prodigal Son - Chapter 2 Palace

After dinner, Alexander waited in the guest room, after 10 minutes a 40-year-old man with brown hair, approaches Alexander.

-Young Master is a pleasant surprise. I understand you need my services.

This man was David

-Ah. David, how long has it been since I saw you the last time?

-Five years, sir.

David, it hasn’t changed at all. And he will not do it. Five years ago he wasn’t at all close to David. He thought his personality was too strange, but in his dream, he knew his character was the best part about him.

– You seem to be stuck with me for some time.

David answered, with a long smile on his lips:

-Of course, sir.

David was surprised by Alexander. Five years ago he was an arrogant boy who thought he had the world at his feet. Now he looks like a man with his head on his shoulders.

David was responsible for the supervision of Alexander, but he could not do anything. The boy disappeared. Apart from a phone number, there was nothing to go to him. He was always curious about how he could do that. David was a professional, but he still could not find out where he was hiding, even in secret intelligence, wasn’t so difficult.

Looking at him he could see small differences. When he left, he was a weak boy. Now through the T-shirt, you can see the muscle. He’s an adult now.

-Oh. David brings the keys for the car.

-Yes, I will call the driver.

-David, the place we go to is not for everyone. Brings the keys, you drive.

Although it was weird, David did conform.

After half an hour of driving according to Alexander’s information, they arrived at a simple, small house. In a quiet neighborhood.

-Good. Come in.

After they entered, they gave a hallway there was a metal box.

– Put your phone and the watch here.

David was accustomed to such a box what he didn’t know is why Alexander needed one.

When David saw the interior of the house, was impressed.

What seemed like a family house, actually is a headquarters. He hasn’t seen one since he was working on the intelligence service.

There were many rooms. But in the free zone, there were visible last generation monitors and computers.

On a monitor, was surveillance cameras on family home are accessed. On others, were from the company.

He didn’t want to get involved, that does not mean he wants his father to fail. That is true, with and without his dream. So he kept an eye on them.

Alexander saw David’s expression. In the dream, he had the same expression.

Alexander was proud of his home. He spent a lot of time and effort doing it like that.

David was in front of the screen showing the rooms in the parent’s house.

Alexander approached him and with a serious face:

– Your security is shit.

-Pardon?

-I said your security is shit. A 10-year-old child of today can get in there. You’d better fire the guy who is in charge. I’ll take care of it from now on.

-I’ll make the arrangements.

David did not oppose. He was visibly impressed.

Alexander let David look around. Alexander thought David looked like a child when he walked everywhere. No. A dog.

He headed for the office and pulled out a sheet and started writing. When he finished, he returned to David.

-I need suits. These are my dimensions. Buy many and best quality. I have none.

-Yes, sir.

Alexander was not a fan of suits, but they were necessary if he what to be respected. If you don’t wear one and you go to fancy places the world will look down on you. Alexander was disgusted when he was thinking of those fancy places.

– You want something to drink David.

-Water.

Alexander nodded, giving him a glass of water.

David continued to stare at Alexander for a while. That made him feel uncomfortable.

-If you have something to say. Say it.

-What is this place?

-I call this place, the Palace. I spent four years of my life here. It is divided, into several areas. It will give your password to the areas where you can enter.

David did not say anything but just nodded.

Seeing David had nothing to object to, he continued.

-I need information about the company’s associates. Everything you can find out about them. Send on the email, is on paper.

Alexander could have done this alone. Probably more productive than David, but his information will help him do his job easier.

He will check Anna while David does his job.

Save time.

-I will prepare a report for you.

Alexander was in front of the computer just waving his hand at David who showed him he could do the job.

That was David. A person who follows orders without question. If he didn’t have the dream, he wouldn’t know why a man would choose to do that.

With David gone, Alexander entered all of Anna’s private life. It was not hard for him to do that.

After 30 minutes, had access to everything Anna means. PC, phone, bank account.

When he looked through the messages, he received confirmation that his dream was real.

Anna had many messages and calls from an unknown number. In the dream, he spent much effort in reaching the person at the end of the phone.

They were sweets messages. Sexually messages. There were messages with details of the plan.

Anna was a good actor or was it too blinded by his love for her?

The bank account had an impressive amount for a designer at the beginning of the career.

Alexander left Ana aside because he received David’s report by mail.

There are five major shareholders, with his father having control of the company.

Alexander planned to take the place of four shareholders. Of course, they will not want to give their share of the business. But they all have weaknesses.

After five minutes Alexander was disturbed by the sound of the phone.

-The meeting with Mrs. Ingrid Walters will take place tomorrow. I sent the location and the hour via an SMS.

I bought the suits, where I leave them?

– At Palace. Thank you, David.
