Chapter 57: The Benz Stadium

(Kira’s POV)

___________

As the sun shone high up in the sky, I slowly pulled my car through the crowded stadium. Getting a parking spot when a high-stakes game was being played was a hassle, however, I had called ahead and a private parking spot had been set aside for me. When I got to the private entrance, a valet seemed to materialize out of thin air.

"Hello, Miss Windsor. Welcome to the Benz Stadium." He said, his voice was crisp and sounded clean to the ear, I couldn’t help but smile at him as I stepped out of the vehicle. "If you don’t mind, I’d take your car to your designated parking spot now."

I handed the key over to him. I only spared a second to watch him drive the car off, smiling at the thought that he was driving a car worth more than he would ever be able to make in his lifetime if he remained working as a valet.

Holding on tight to my purse, I turned and began to walk into the stadium. This was the football stadium where most of the major leagues played their matches. I was using the private entrance, so it was less populated, although I could hear the voices of the spectators booming through the speakers.

I wasn’t here for the match though, I was here for a more important matter; Beacon Studios.

I sucked in a deep breath as I stepped onto the escalator. It was here that I began to see other people. I recognized some of the faces, seeing as many of them were supermodels, celebrities, and other rich folk. However, everyone minded their business.

When I got to the top, I looked around, trying to figure out my way through the stadium. This was my first time coming on my own, and I had no idea where the private booths were. As I looked around, I saw booths lined up and they all had walls made of transparent glass so that the occupants could see right into the fields and watch the match live. There were also large-screen TVs in the booths showing the match live for those who wanted an up-close experience.

I shook my head as I began to walk down the line of booths, what was the point of coming to watch a match if you were going to be so far away from the action or even end up watching it on TV? If I was going to watch it on TV, why not do that at home?

The idea sounded ludicrous, and I smirked at it while looking around for my quarry. The person I was looking for had told me that he couldn’t miss today’s match and if I wanted to see him, I had to do it during the match seeing as he had to fly to China immediately after the match was over. I couldn’t miss up on this opportunity seeing how much was riding on my actions.

As I went further, looking around for the booth, I felt my purse vibrate in my hand. My phone was ringing. I took it out and saw that it was Lena calling me, I answered it at once.

"Hey babe," I said as I walked on, keeping my eyes peeled. "What’s up?"

"Well, it’s been a crazy morning. I missed Jace by about ten minutes."

"Oh... they had already left by the time you got there?"

"Yeah," Lena said over the phone. "If I didn’t have to go to my house, I would have met them at the hotel. Joan was very pissed, I wonder what transpired between her and Jace because whatever it was, she transferred most of that aggression to me."

"Oh... was it that bad?"

"Uh-huh... I imagine Jace must have threatened her to get something from her. Either way, she told me that she sent some footage to Casey last night."

I felt my heart skip, "my God! Please tell me you have it!"

"Of course," she nodded. "The minute I told her that Jace asked me to take it, she sent it at once, although not happily. It’s quite long though, watching the video would take quite a while."

"No!" I cried out at once. Just then, I realized that I had shouted. The people around stared at me as if I had done something sacrilegious. Shouting in the private booth seemed to be a taboo. I smiled lightly as a form of apology as I kept moving.

"No?" Lena echoed, confused. "Why?"

I swallowed as I held the phone to my ear, "don’t watch it, Lena. We’re in this together, remember?"

"Well, if I watch it now, I might be able to figure out Jace’s next move."

I shook my head, I couldn’t allow her to watch it just yet. Not without me knowing what exactly was in the footage. Once she watched it, she could realize that she had been caught on tape sneaking into my room. I couldn’t allow that.

"Kira, talk to me!" Lena snapped, "I can’t wait to get home just so we can watch the video together."

"Well, that’s exactly what you’d have to do. When you come home, we watch the footage together and decide what to do next. What do you know about Jace’s next move?"

"For now? Nothing." Lena replied, "Joan said something about him looking for a Ramon something. I don’t know why. But I guess he’s a lead."

"Thank you very much," I said. "I want to kiss so bad you right now."

"I can come home right now," she suggested.

I chuckled, "No babe, I’m not home. I’m currently at the stadium, long story. I’ll tell you all about it later. Besides, I still need you there."

"What? Why? I already got everything from Joan."

"You still need to find out who Ramon is, and try to figure out why Jace is going after him."

"Kira, I’m not a detective, you know that, right?"

"I trust you, baby," I replied.

Just then, I sighted the person I was looking for. He was seated in a booth sipping wine as he watched the match through a pair of binoculars.

"Kira... I don’t think..."

"Just do this for me, my love." I said hurriedly, "I have to go now. We’ll talk later, okay?"

Before she could say anything else, I cut the call. Returning my phone into my purse, I adjusted my hair and my dress as I stopped before the door of the private booth. I knocked once, catching the man’s attention. He was a handsome man, in his mid-sixties and was known for his love for suits. When he saw me, his eyes lit up at once.

"Hey, Kira!" He cried as he spread his arms wide to hug me. I didn’t resist as he enveloped me, "I almost can’t believe you’re here."

I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear as I stepped away, smiling at him, "Come on Roger, this is me, in the flesh."

Roger Mac, was a billionaire, and one of the major shareholders in Beacon Studios. He was also the first person I was looking to win over to my side and steal from my Uncle.

It was time.
