Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 889 Kissing Her While Swimming

Vistalia was all lit up, night in full swing. Raymond hung up the phone and took a swig of his drink, feeling kinda jittery. Man, what a view. It'd be awesome if Selena was here.

There was a pool, a killer view of Vistalia's busiest spots, drinks, and some fruit.

He could be swimming with her, sneaking in kisses.

And if things got heated, he could even get a little wild on the pool's edge.

He shook his head, trying to push the thought away. His hand trembled a bit as he held the wine glass, so he set it down.

The phone buzzed again. This time, it was Paul.

When Raymond headed to Vistalia, he had his crew dig into the guy who tried to off Selena that night. They probably had some dirt by now.

And with Paul calling, it had to be about Christopher.

Just thinking about that name made Raymond wanna crush the glass in his hand.

He hit the answer button.

Paul's voice came through, "Raymond, we found Christopher's prints again. I'm pretty sure he's still kicking and hiding out in Silver Bay City. I finally got some leads on what he was into back then. Vistalia's been doing some hush-hush research for years. It's a weapon, but not your usual kind. This one messes with the brain, and they've been using live humans for experiments."

Raymond's brow furrowed, "Using live humans?"

Paul replied, "Yeah, you know Vistalia loves chaos. They're still at war with a bunch of countries. This research is a total humanitarian nightmare. Over twenty years ago, some countries tried to step in and stop it, even sparked a protest. But the Vistalia researchers just moved it underground. They haven't stopped, and word is they've made some headway."
