Chapter 16: This is exactly what R.W. wanted

R.W's POV

I look at the computer screen carefully as I watch Raiden and Emery fight about me. This is exactly what I wanted, I want them to fight and figure out the mystery that can't be solved. No one even suspects me, I can go around the mansion as I please and never get caught.

"You have someone in mind, don't you?" Emery questioned. I hate her voice, I just hate her in general! I wished to kill her sooner, but the plan that I'm planning will actually make her suffer. I hate that Raiden is near this girl, I hate that I can't do anything about it yet. Raiden is a very smart man, he figured most of this out, he figured out that I'm doing this to get revenge for Kenneth.

"Okay, come out with it! Who do you think R.W. is?" She pushed more and more for an answer, that she'll never get until the day comes. I've planned this since the day Kenneth died, for 3 years I've been plotting on what I can use against her and now I have that.

"I think it's Keith Daniels."

I can see why Raiden would suspect Keith, Keith definitely knows what happens around here before Raiden even knows. But that's for a totally different reason. I know Keith's secret, it wasn't that hard to figure it out, so he confides in me.

"Keith?! No way, it's not him! He's the sweetest person I know around here," she argued. That's true, Keith is trying to help Emery but what he doesn't know is I'm the one threatening her.

"You've barley known him long enough! Look Emery, he knew River was gonna join this gang before I knew. How could he have known that if he isn't working with him?" Raiden's tipsy self argued back.

"What're you talking about? You're now saying River's the bad guy!" She concluded. They're totally going in a different direction with finding out who I am. "You can think whoever you want! I'll think what I want to think, I just know that there could be two people plotting against you!" Bingo! I do have a little helper, my little helper doesn't even have a choice in this.

"What're you talking about? Why do you think there's two people in this?" She asked. "R.W. is the reason you crashed, they messed with your brakes when you crashed," he replied.

"How would they've known what car I was gonna chose?" Ah, that's another little secret that involves Keith. "I don't know! That's why I think it's Keith and River, Keith is my valet guy after all!"

"You're delusional, you have your stubborn mind set on Keith and River, that you're gonna be too blind to figure out who R.W. is. If that's how it's gonna be, I'll find them myself!" She turned around and walked out the door, leaving Raiden to pour more of his Chardonnay as he goes back to the computer.

There was three knocks on the door, which paused after the third knock and a second later came two more knocks. The secret knock I had gave to my little helper.

I shut off the computer while walking in the little room, opening the door and greeting my little helper. "Did you get them?" I questioned. My helper held out a black duffle bag, tossing it to me. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't," my helper smart mouthed me.

I opened the duffle bag and found all the bullets that are supposed to be loaded in the guards and the gangs' guns for tomorrow's mission. "Good job! Now I need you to go put them somewhere," I turned around and focused my attention on the computer screen as I clicked through various security cameras, I found the camera that's in Emery's cell.

"Emery is back to living in her cell again," I smiled once I saw Emery sleeping on the bottom bunk. Good, she needs to stay away from Raiden.

"Let me guess, I need to plant the bullets in Emery's cell?" My helper guessed. "Yes, in the bottom of her wardrobe. But we need to keep Keith busy so it looks like Emery stole the bullets. Raiden has been pointing the finger to Keith, so this can't be blamed on him," I ordered, trying to figure out what I can do to keep Keith busy.

"Does it matter if Keith gets blamed?" My helper questioned. It actually does, very much. "I need Keith, he's the only way I can figure out what Emery will be doing," I replied.

My helper nodded and left my small room. I already have what I need to make Emery suffer, I've had it for a year now. But now that her and Raiden are getting close, I had to delay the plan for a while. I have to make Raiden hate Emery so he can't believe a word she says anymore. With this plan, Emery can't explain how the bullets got there, she'll be left feeling dumbfounded. Unless Raiden points the finger at Keith, then that'll be harder to get him to hate Emery.

I look at the screen a for a few minutes as I see Delilah cuddling up to Raiden. Raiden, taking his eyes off of his computer, turns around and gives Delilah the attention she was so desperately asking for. I smirk as he kisses Delilah roughly, putting her in his lap. Another one of my plans goes perfectly as planned, I'm the reason Raiden found Delilah. Now with Delilah in the picture there is no way Emery or Raiden can get even close together.

At least Emery is off his mind now.

The next day....

Emery's POV

"What on earth happened?" Casey shouted as she took in the 4 injured men. I looked over someone's shoulder as I start to take in what was happening. "Everyone's gun wasn't loaded except mine! How is that even possible for someone to steal that many bullets!" Raiden yelled. Someone stole their bullets from their guns?

"We were forced to abort the mission cause no one had guns!" He turned around slowly and looked at all the guards carefully. "I want all of you to search all the bedrooms, including the cells to find the missing bullets now!" He shouted as all the guards scurried away to search for the bullets.

"Casey, where's Keith?" Raiden questions, probably thinking Keith stole them. I can't believe he still hasn't dropped that yet. "He's been up all night helping Dalton fix and clean the cars, I think their still working out there." Good, at least Keith has an alibi to where he was last night.

I stood there not knowing what to do. Raiden ordered everyone to stay put until they find something. I leaned against the wall and breathed out, someone needs to find those bullets soon.

"Boss, I've got something!" One of the guards yelled. I looked up, shocked that they found it so quickly, they must've not hidden it really well.

Amateurs.

When Raiden left to see what they've found I looked around, trying to find someone who has a guilty expression written all over them. But none of them do, they all seem calm and collected like its normal for them to look around your....cell. Raiden stomped back into the room as he held a large black duffle bag, looking at me straight in the eye.

"Emery! What the hell is this?!" He yells obviously playing dumb as he knows what it is. "Um...let me guess. A black duffle bag?" I decided to play dumb too, as I see his face growing more and more enraged.

He unzipped the bag and dumped all the contents onto the floor. All the bullets rolled on the floor as he looked at me straight in the eye, waiting for me to say something. "Um...okay, it's the missing bullets?" I shrugged my shoulders, looking very confused as to why he keeps looking at me like I've done something wrong.

"They found them in your wardrobe, Emery!" He shouted making me jumped back. My wardrobe?! How could they be in my wardrobe? I don't even know where they keep their guns and I was freaking asleep!

"What're you talking about? I never took them, I barely even know how to work a gun!" This has to be one of RW's tricks, I bet RW planted them in my wardrobe! "Oh really?! I think you know how to work a gun, since you shot a man!" He accused. Mackenzie and Renae looked at me shocked, as they shook their heads. No, no! He's turning the story around, he knows the person I shot wasn't an innocent man! He's making it seem like the total opposite of what actually happened. I can't tell him that RW did this to me, he'll think it was Keith since he's made his mind up about him.

This is what RW wanted.

"Don't make it sound like I shot an innocent man!" I admitted. "You know the entire story to what actually happened!" I added. If only he changed his mind about Keith, his brain could come up with a perfect solution, that has R freaking W written all over it. He thinks since Keith has an alibi then RW has one also.

"Take her in the statue!" He ordered the two guards standing next to me. The statue?! Where Pierce was locked up in for 8 years! The guards took me by my arms as they dragged me to the garden. "No! No, I didn't do it, I swear on Jonah's grave!" I pleaded, hoping they'll take it serious when I swore upon my brother's grave but they kept dragging me. I turn around to see Mackenzie, Duncan, and Renae having a horrified look splattered across their face. Just then Pierce came out from one of the rooms and saw me.

"Wait, what's going on?!" Pierce shouted as he grabbed his brother's arm and yanked it back. "Emery's getting what she deserves," Raiden told his brother as he trailed behind the guards who are dragging me. Pierce catches up with me as he trails behind me. "Ems, what's going on? What're they gonna do to you?" He questioned as they get closer and closer towards the statue. "P-Pierce, he's accusing me of something I didn't do! They're taking me to where you were locked up this whole time," I state, really terrified. I know what it's like down there, I've been there. The only difference is that I'll be all alone.

Pierce turns around as he yells at Raiden. "You can't do that!" He screams as Raiden pushes him aside. "I most certainly can!" He yelled. We've finally reached the statue as Raiden pulls the sword/lever to make the statue reveal its underground passage. I look back to finally notice the whole gang surrounding the statue. The guards lifted me up by my underarms as they dangle me over the hole that leads down to the room. Are they gonna drop me in?! That's like a ten foot fall! I look over to Mackenzie who's crying, knowing she can't do anything about this. Pierce keeps shouting at Raiden, predicting what their gonna do. The guards kept me dangling over the hole as they wait for Raiden's order.

He looks around looking...conflicted, not knowing what to do as his eyes soften. "Boss!" One of the guards snap him out of his trance. "Um.....drop her in," he says the three words I'm most terrified of right now. All the girls including Pierce, scream as they let go of me.

I don't even have time to process what's going on right now, everything is a blur as I try to grab on to something. But I'm too weak to try and grab the ladder and pull up my weight. I scream loudly as I count to ten as I wait for my fate to come to me. I heard the loud thump before I felt the pain, I open my eyes slowly as I see blurry figures surrounding the hole while yelling my name.

I turn my head, focusing on where the pain is. I move my legs and realize they don't hurt that much, just badly bruised. I move my arms and held my left one that I landed on the wrong way. I try to sit up but my back is the real cause of my pain, this back pain is worse then my mattress back pain. I try my best to lean up against the wall ever so carefully. I stop my movement as I hear someone climbing down the ladder. I look up to see that it's Raiden, my eyes widen as I try to hide but there's no where to go.

When he finishes climbing down the ladder, he goes straight to the door and unlocks it. Without even looking at me he grabs my hurt shoulder and drags me inside. "Emmy, Emmy, Emmy," he mocked while making a tsk tsk sound with his mouth.

"You know I didn't do this, you know who actually did this!" I reminded him. "Sorry, but Keith was working all night, I saw the security cameras," he pointed out. This man is so hardheaded while sticking to his delusional imagination.

"Can you, for one second, stop thinking that Keith is RW. Just once, I ask of you to think it's somebody else who planted the bullets on me." I pleaded, hoping he'll listen this time. "How am I supposed to know whether I should believe you or not!"

"You don't, your just eliminating the help. I'm the only person except you that knows about RW, you can't find them without my help!" I told the truth. He won't be able to find RW because RW is after me, Raiden just did want RW wanted to do, lock me up.

I think deep down in that black heart of his, he knows I'm right. "How about instead of being the gossip girl around here, you can confront Keith on how he really knew about River's arrival." I suggested, getting on his nerves when I called him a gossip girl.

"Goodbye Emery," he grumpily farewelled. He walked out the door before locking it with his key. Now I'm all alone.

This is exactly what RW wanted.

Whew! Another chapter completed! As all of you can tell this whole filler chapter was all about R.W. There will be at least one more chapter in the book in R.W's POV.

Before anyone gets ahead of themselves by guessing who R.W. is. Have you guessed their gender. By the way RW moves or speaks can you tell what their gender is? Is it a guy or a girl?

Now that you've thought about that question and have a possible answer.

Who do you think RW is?

Who do you think RW's little helper is?

In the chapters about RW, I want you guys to read very carefully on how RW acts. Maybe you can guess their gender!

RW suspect cross-off list:
Keith
River
Delilah

Any who, hope all of you have started of with a great summer!

Until next chapter......
