“Prove me wrong then, Veronica.” Mason added, meeting her sassiness with no hesitation. Reading the article again, Mason was stuck at the two names he had heard various times - James Azure and Marcel Pierce. Marcel Pierce… it was a name mentioned multiple times in the diary of Rebekah Azure, and Mason knew there was a story brewing right under the surface of all of this. “Parker, on the note of the Pierce family. What’s up with that Paige girl who showed up out of nowhere? You’re cousin’s right? It’s a little… weird to show up senior year, wouldn’t you say? Did she tell you anything?” Mason questioned, now showing a little more interest in the whole situation as he looked up at her.
Them getting thrown out, however, wasn’t a plan for today - and definitely not one he was expecting to happen hours after they were just let in. Though, at least Mason had grabbed the other journal he found. “Wait,” Mason whispered as they walked back towards their car. Mason noticed someone staring at them… someone in a black suit with an earpiece on. “Get in VC,” Mason stated, and the moment she was, Mason drove a few feet away - out of eyesight of the person watching them. Parking the car for the second time, Mason looked at her and put his finger out to indicate shush before navigating back towards the building. They were currently on the side of the building that had a window looking into where they were sitting. Though looking in, it was clear that they weren’t closing early - rather, there were various men in black suits grabbing every record that the two were looking at.
“Blue Royalty has more resources than I thought,” Mason whispered to himself, low enough that she likely didn’t hear him. After all, Mason didn’t know that Azure’s were connected to Blue Royalty. “We need to get out of here right now, Vc. You… We can’t be here.” he added, walking back towards his car and immediately texting a familiar number.
I need a favor.
