The Robin Hood Society (Jacob And The Heiress) - Chapter 644
Just then, she received a text message from General Grady. “I got insider information about the heiress of the Robin Hood Society that you can use against her. Meet me at the usual spot in one hour. And don’t bring your Twelve Army people with you.”
Upon reading the text message, Senator Rizza’s eyes widened in excitement. With her hand trembling, she tried to call General Grady but for some reason, she cannot contact the number. So, she sends him a message instead.
Meanwhile, Claude, who still has access to General Grady’s phone already blocked her call and upon receiving the message of Senator Rizza, he deleted it even before General Grady could read it.
Senator Rizza makes herself a coffee then takes a cold shower to sober up. Dressed in a low-key outfit, chose a low-key car to drive to a usual spot that General Grady told her to meet up.
Before she left, she instructed the security that she hired from the Twelve Army to take the night off earning her a baffled look from the men. She understands why the General didn’t want her security to come with her because they might tattletale to their boss.
The ‘usual spot’ that ‘General Grady’ is talking about is a parking lot of the view deck of a water dam. It was a not so popular local tourist spot during the day but quite dark and remote at night. It doesn’t even have CCTV Cameras or guards at night. So General Grady and the Paz’s family used this as their usual meeting place.
The Robin Hood Society had investigated everything about the Paz family, including their connections. That’s how they found out about their connection with General Grady and how they meet up with him.
Their relationship with General Grady is a secret to avoid complications on both sides. The Paz’s deep connections in the military should remain a secret so they would appear strong without relying on anyone’s power.
When Senator Rizza reached the destination. She immediately spotted General Grady’s car. She could recognize it immediately because she had seen it a couple of times. It was the General’s favorite sedan among his cars.
It is a black luxurious armored vehicle that can withstand an arsenal of gunfire, chemical assaults, and even explosives.
She has been inside that car as well.
Senator Rizza knows the old man well. He preferred to chat inside his luxurious car instead of other people’s car or outside of it.
So, Senator Rizza walked out of her car then minced towards General Grady’s car.
She opened the door of the backseat which she usually takes not surprised that it is unlocked since they were expecting her.
Inside the luxurious armored car, the almost 60-year-old general looked intimidating in his formal military uniform. Senator Rizza knew how the old man prefers to wear his official uniform every day.
Without a word, Senator Rizza felt the ar move as soon as she closed the door.
“General Grady, where are we going?” She asked while maintaining her calm demeanor.
“Let’s talk somewhere else.” General Grady said without looking at her.
Senator Rizza looked around and noticed that the driver is not the General’s personal driver that he had with him for 20 years.
“I see you finally changed the driver.” She commented.
“It was necessary.” General Grady replied. “I heard your grandfather disowned you?” He asked after a while.
Senator Rizza smiled bitterly. “So, the news reached you.”
“It was publicly announced.” He stated.
Then the car stopped in front of a tall gate. Senator Rizza looked around and noticed that there weren’t any guards around.
“What is this place?” She asked then she looked at General Grady.
“My dear, you are entering the headquarters of the Robin Hood Society.” General Grady said with a smirk smile.
Senator Rizza’s eyes widened in surprise. How did General Grady found out the headquarters of the Robin Hood Society which others cannot find?
Then the tall gate opened automatically.
The car slowly ventured the steep road of an uphill.
“How…?” Senator Rizza looked at the old man confused. He knows the headquarters of the Robin Hood Society. And he can easily access it. Then a thought flashed in her mind.
Her eyes widened in anger and she started to be alert. “You are a member of the Robin Hood Society?”
General Grady faced her and at the same time, they passed by a lamp post. That’s when she noticed that there is something different about the way the old man looks at her. “Yes and no, Senator Rizza.” General Grady replied.
This time, Senator Rizza started to panic. She tried to reach out for her purse to find her phone but unfortunately, she left it inside her car.
“W-what do you mean, General Grady? Are you still on my side?” Senator Rizza stuttered.
General Grady smirked and said, “You’ll find out soon.”
