Elina hands griped the folder she was holding hard in thought as her brain processes what she had just read.
She had someone do a background check on jade which took a long time and was also hard but there finally came a result.
An unbelievable result at that.
"So she really wasn't pretending the other day". elina voiced out."I thought she wasn't being all truthful with me but I was wrong".
"So what's your next step now elina?".a male voice says beside her.
"Jack". elina called referring to the male standing beside her.he had been her companion for a long while, always being at her side and watching out for her.
"Hmm".jack nods.
"Can I ask you a question?". asked elina.
"Go on". said jack."you can ask me anything".
"What would you do if you were me?". asked elina confused on what plan to make."honestly am confused about everything ".
"I might not be of much help to answering your question but then I will like to say something".
"Sure". elina said.
"You have been focusing too much on jade lately.i think you should focus more on jessica instead". said jack."unlike jade, she's the key to solving this case".
"It's no easy task though.she has feelings for micheal so she won't betray him no matter how much of a jerk he is". said elina."besides those two aren't the only ones in this case.there's lily and her friends,also that boy named cole then there is..".she paused then glanced at the band on her hand intimately."...my sister and my brother too".
Jack could sense the sudden change in mood from elina and he knew the reason why."you are missing them right?".
"...".
Seeing as elina gave no response,he continues to speak."I don't think am able to help much so why not ask for his help?". asked jack."he will definitely help you".
"I have no doubt that he will". said elina."I know that if I make an appearance in front of him and ask for his help,he will help me".
Jack found it hard to understand why she was hesitant about asking for help if she trusted him that much."So why aren't you speaking to him?"
"You won't understand". elina said shaking her head.
"Then make me understand". said jack."I don't understand because I don't have much idea".
"I might be risking everything if I meet him". said elina."a lot of eyes are on both him and also my sister.if we were caught meeting each other then...".
Although elina said nothing more,jack could understand her fears."I promise you that you don't need to worry about that.as long as you are ready,then I will handle everything else".
"How will you do that?".elina asked turning to face him.
"You don't need to worry about that". said jack."as long as you decide to meet him,I assure you that nothing will go wrong".he then adds."you trust me right?".
"Yes".nods elina.
"Then you don't have to worry". said jack.
"Okay ". said elina."I will send him a message to ask for a meeting".
Jack was no stranger to her,he had been by her side ever since that incident and he has been reliable so she trusts him and believes in him.
Jack gave her a little smile"then wait for me".
"Hmm".nods elina.

"Ever since that day,I have been rethinking a lot of things so that's why I am here".lily said.
"Is this about your friend?".asked jade.
The two of them were seated across each other in jade's apartment.
"I was worried that you might have done something harmful to yourself so I called the dectetive". said jade in a relieved tone."am so glad that I was wrong".
"But you disturbed her". said lily frowning at the other female.
"It's nothing".elise chipped in."am glad that I could be of help".
After elise received jade's call,she went to lily house and met her mother who directed elise to her room.
She got to the room and met lily body on the floor,in fear she rushed to lily's side only to find that she okay.
"I was worried too when I saw her on the floor".elise said."I am glad to know that nothing is wrong".
So after much consideration,elise called jade who invited them to her house.
"I never thought that I could be invited to your place". said elise.
"Yes".jade admitted."I couldn't risk being seen so I always stayed indoors as I also didn't want people to know that I live here".
"I see". said elise.
"Umm..".jade starts gaining the attention of elise."I am sure that you have questions to ask me ".
"I do".nods elise."a lot of questions actually".
"And I will give you answers to your questions". said jade."this will definitely take a while as I have a lot of explaining to do".
"Sure". said elise."I don't mind at all ".
