Chapter 5

It was a moment of awkwardness for the three of them. No one wants to talk until Thomas coughed to broke the tension between them.

"Well, whether this is the truth or not, we should still trust you as we will be working together," Thomas said with sincerity.

"It's fine," was all she said.

Mattheo just silently sat on his chair and annoyingly read the reports. Even if he wanted to retort or fight words with Micah he can't. He don't want to argue with her.

"12 years ago, the Lavoiser family has a fall out. One of their trusted aid betrayed them for money. War started between the Lavoiser and their enemies," Micah started. "Still, the Lavoiser stood their ground but they lose a lot of loyalist of their family, it endangers their family's wealth and businesses. Then, came the Oliveros family, who have strong family ties with them. They merged and as to tie this merger, Alfred Lavoiser has promised to marry his own daughter to the Oliveros heir, Frank Oliveros. The young heir, at the age of 15, was already known for his ruthlessness. Bowing to him almost half of their territory in France," she continued clenching her hands in her lap.

Mattheo stopped reading and so was Thomas as they listen to her. "How do you know all this things?" Mattheo asked curiously. "And where the hell do you get the information about the daughter of the Lavoiser?"

They're quite unconvinced with how Micah tell the story as if she was there. As if she is one of those kind of people. As if all the intelligence given to them have all the problems. Because as far as they know the Lavoiser family only have one son. That person is one of the ruthless people he had known. According to reports given to them, he killed an entire family without even batting an eyelid.

Micah sighed. "It wasn't actually a secret to the organization. It was just a taboo topic to the whole Lavoiser clan. It wasn't a secret that Alfred Lavoiser fell in love with female spy of the CIA. Actually giving birth to two kids. They actually have a very happy family despite the danger of being in the Triad. Until, a boy came in the picture claiming that he is Alfred Lavoiser's son from another woman."

Mattheo stilk looked unconvinced. " So, the one in the reports is actually a biological son with a different mother?"

She nodded her head, "Malcolm Lavoiser came to the Lavoiser family when he was 10 years old. Her mom died due to drug overdose and was taken to custody by the social workers, he was discovered by one of the Lavoiser loyal men and was reported to the Head of the family. He can't do anything about it but accept the boy, even accepting the wrath of his wife. As time passed by, Malcolm was accepted by Alfred's wife and the family became harmonious once again. Unfortunately that didn't last long until the fall of the family."

"Micah I know that you wanted to help but telling us this informations can't help us," Thomas said and shook his head.

"You need to know this informations, it will help you one day," Micah pressed on. "The legitimacy of this information was signed by a CIA agent from 10 years ago. Currently, Alfred and Malcolm Lavoiser are the only one known by the public and also in the Black Market. His family were nowhere to be found after they sail to Russia 10 years ago. The wife and the children went missing when the ship stop at Moscow. As of today, the legitimate family's location is unknown, " Micah continued.

Mattheo and Thomas are absorbing all the informations that Micah is saying. It is unbelievable to them but knowing how the Triad families are, it might be true. Now that Micah even said that the CIA may know all of this.

"So, what will we do now?" Mattheo asked already thinking of the ways on how they will infiltrate the Triad.

"We infiltrate the main base of the Lavoiser Triad here in the Philippines," Micah said.

Mattheo and Thomas don't know whether to laugh or to cry. It was hardly impossible for them to infiltrate the main base lest they don't know where the hell it is. "Huh, Micah talking big like this won't help us infiltrate the main base of the triad. We don't even know where the hell it is!" Mattheo exclaimed, already getting angry by just listening to Micah.

She just sighed and slouched on her chair. "Anyway, you guys wanna hangout?" Micah asked them. Clearly off topic with what they are discussing.

Mattheo and Thomas shook their head. It is clear to them that Micah can't help even if she had those information that she said. Mattheo discarded the file given to them by Micah. It was useless anyway. While Micah frowned at them, she knows what they're thinking about but decided not to talk anymore just waiting for their reply. It was useless since the two of the stood up.

"Let's talk this out later. We'll just be going to talk to the director about some matter," Mattheo said no emotion can be seen through his face.

Though he is really disappointed with Micah from not understanding the situation and still want to hangout or whatsoever. Micah just nodded at them before getting her phone. She seems to be texting someone. Mattheo just sighed and signalled Thomas to follow him.

That day, Micah left alone after Mattheo and Thomas said that they would be discussing something with the director. She hailed a cab and give the driver the address of the location where she would be going. She's actually thinking awhile ago what would be the best scenario to infiltrate the Triad base. Currently on their position, it is easy for her. With the help of Mattheo and Thomas of course. She sighed and tilted her head. It was only then that she lose focus when her phone rang. It's her 'mom'. She doesn't want to answer it but she needed to. In the end, she don't want to worry her mother.

"Mom."
