Chapter Seventy-Seven – Cara's a psychopath.
(Still in use of Third Person’s Narrative)
He went back into his car and started searching more thoroughly for car tyre prints.
He received an identical text from Kiera, identical to the one his brother had said Chloe received.
The kidnappers must be sending the message to her recent contacts so no one would suspect her disappearance.
This only means that they were not just planning on kidnapping her or they’d have made her disappearance known and expect a ransom. This could be a murder.
He played along and ask where she was so he could drop the stuff that she wanted to give to the Martinez. He knew it’d pique their interest.
He got a reply that he could give Cara to give the Martinez since their families are allies. He was also warned not to bother her again.
Jacob immediately knew that Cara's threat was being carried out. And that Kiera’s life was really in danger.
She must have some answers to this. The kidnappers did leak she was a close ally after all.
On returning to school, worried faces ask him for Kiera and he could only show the text.
Nancy shook her head in disbelief, “Will they kill her? Kidnap? I knew this people were evil”.
Jasper was still trying to compare and contrast the similarities between his brother’s and Chloe’s messages but they seemed to be no difference.
“It could be a message they sent in masse. Maybe Kiera’s mom would get it too, soon. She’d be worried” he sounded pitiful.
“You know, Cara is still at school” Chloe slapped her hands.
Nancy turned to her with shock and Chris's eyes widened, “Really? I though she went home after her beating”.
Before Jacob could blink, Chloe had disappeared from his sight. He only saw Chris looking towards the girls' bathroom in amazement.
The J-twins ran to the scene and saw Nancy beating the sheeit outta Chloe.
“Where’s Kiera, you witch!” Chloe poured toilet water on Cara’s face.
Chris didn’t know these girls could be monsters and abusive. And who said he was rough?
He brought out his phone and began taking photos and vids of the best parts of Cara’s discipline.
This time Jacob did try to stop the girls. The only student that was at school, apart from them, had followed the estate’s back to come to school.
She was the topper of grade eleven and couldn’t miss a day of school. The rest of them were basically stuck in school.
And Kiera kidnapped. The only good thing was that Cara Adams, their mutual enemy, was stuck with them.
“You bastards leave me alone. Am I with Kiera here! My dad would sue all of you” Cara spat at Chloe.
“But you know where she is, don’t you! If you don’t talk, I'd expose your involvement with Jennie’s death, dare me!” Chloe dragged Cara’s hair and slapped her.
Cara fell on the hard floor of the bathroom. Her butt was in pain but instead of cries of pain, guffaws of laughter erupted from her.
“No matter what you do, It won’t make Kiera come back. I don’t know what’s happening to her now. But it’s fun” she clapped cheerfully.
Nancy looked at her darkly. It's fun? She really should have let her mother destroy Cara’s life when she wanted to.
Her mother knew early enough that Cara was related to the Martinez more than they acted.
Some works and projects of the Martinez were usually termed ‘Adams and Martinez'. Still people claimed it was only business wise.
Her mother somehow knew her mother’s death was natural and there was something to it.
Chloe brought out a pin from her hair, “What about if I scar your face, will you tell us where you are keeping her?”.
She flashed her sharp pin on Cara’s eyes. Repeatedly swooshing around her face.
Jasper's eyes twitched like he could feel the pain of what Cara would experience if she didn’t cooperate. He touched his face by impulse.
Cara looked around and began shaking to free herself from Nancy's hold but that only aggravated Nancy to kicking her stomach.
Jacob pulled her back abut but she shoved his hands away.
“I never knew my prophesy of Kiera’s death would come so soon. Or else I’d be at my house awaiting the news. I warned her but she didn’t listen” Cara said while tears came out from her eyes.
Her petty classmates might be thinking she was the only one who had a grudge against Kiera. They’re so wrong.
“These are happy tears though. Who do you think gets Kiera’s inheritance if she dies? Me, of course” Cara cheered herself.
It was short lived as Chloe slapped her. The girls were now becoming clueless on what to do.
Cara wasn’t talking and Kiera was still in danger. Cara was just a psychopath, they couldn’t believe they never noticed.
“Let's call Reuben and tell him to come with the police. We have enough proof to show Martinez and Cara are involved” Jasper snapped his fingers.
Chris frowned. Calling the police shouldn’t be an option. Didn’t Kiera throw his phone down when he attempted to do so?
“We’d also need Reuben to break the gates. We are all trapped here. No school today” Chloe chipped in.
Chris wanted to protest but Nancy giving a resounding slap to Cara made him shut up.
“You know, if we are really going to call the police, it’d be better that Cara looks more like the criminal that the victim” Jasper suggested to Nancy.
“Kiera had a reason she didn’t want to involve the police. To be honest, it could be like Jennie’s case. Swept under the rug. Let’s use locals or team work to help Kiera” Jacob said.
“Then let’s call Reuben to break us out” Jacob snapped his fingers again.
“It’s dangerous for him. For all we know, the kidnappers could be lurking outside” Jacob countered causing Jasper to frown.
“So we are stuck with Cara here. How’s this helping?” Chris folded his arms.
“Let's check the timber house!” Chloe boomed when the team was about dispersing. This caused Jacob to smile. That was an important clue.
“We can’t follow the main gate. We’d need the grade 10 student to show us the way from the estate back” Chris added.
“Leave that to me” Jasper pushed his hair backwards and headed to grade 10.
“Is he going to flirty with her? He can just ask her nicely” Nancy said with a slight disgusted tone.
“He's helping in his own way. Tie Cara and keep her somewhere. If we don’t get Kiera, we're not releasing her. I bet her parents won’t mind” Jacob smirked and walked off towards the grade 10 class with Chris and Chloe.
