Chapter 44

Jessica was seated down on the chair holding a glass of drink in her hands as she watched the bartender do his work.
It was obvious that she was close to being drunk from how she was staring at the the bartender.
"I-".she hiccups."oops".she said covering her mouth then she glanced at the bartender curious to know if he heard her but he seemed to be concentrated on his work.
To the bartender, jessica was just another drunk customer in the bar.
"I-i don't know why*hiccups*-i am feeling so so guilty inside of me".she manages to finish her words pointing to her chest."here-guilty here".
The bartender kept on doing his work paying no attention to jessica as she continues to rants.as long as she wasn't being harassed or anything,he wouldn't intervene.
"I-*another hiccups*-i didn't want her dead".jessica took another sip then continues to talk."now I am a terrible bad horrible person".
"When-when I was only in love...".she turned to the bartender and asks."...tell me.what is love?,why does it hurts soooo much?".she grips her chest and breakdown in tears.
Jessica crying was something that had never happened before as she had always put up a strong front but at that minute she was no longer that strong woman but a navie girl in love.
Seeing as he didn't answer her,she pouts at him."why won't you-*hiccups*-you answer me?".she points at him."you!-tell me what love is".
"I don't know so leave me to focus on my work".the bartender shuns her which only made jessica mad.
"Work work work!".she stands up."that's all you guys know!.always so serious on your so called goddamn plans!.what about we woman standing beside you huh?!.what about us?!.why can't you see the effort we make?!".she bursts into tears after making a scene,took her bag then sluggishly walks away in tears leaving the club.
Unknown to her,she was being watched."she just left the club".
~Follow her~
"Yes".
********
Kelly made her way into jordan's office nervous about the two of them being alone.
The two of them hadn't really spoken to each other ever since their fight and whenever they met,it will be with the others.
If only she could wait for the others but they all were busy and she needed to talk to someone about her discovery.
She couldn't bear to waste anymore time.
"You are here".a voice said breaking her from her thought.
She looks around realizing that she was in his office already.she facepalms her self inwardly for not even noticing that she was already in.
"Hi". said kelly in an awkward manner."yea".she was referring to his words
"Hi...I guess". said jordan."you can take a seat down there".he points to the couch in the office which was more like a basement.
"So..".kelly starts as she calms herself down calling for her boldness to show."...I met up with one of lily's friends and I made a discovery".she then adds."you are aware about the meeting right?".
"Yea".jordan nods."it's why I made some counter plan Incase nothing came out from the meeting".
"Counterplan?".
"It was all logan's idea". said jordan."it's been going on for a while though".
"Okay". nods kelly."I would like to know what that counter plan is all about".
"I will tell you when everyone else is here but for now tell me what's your discovery is about". said jordan.
"It's nothing much". said kelly."it just that I found out about someone who's likely to be our suspect".
"Who?"
"Lily other friend named amy". said kelly.
"Amy?".jordan frowned."have never heard of this name before which is weird considering how deep in this case I am".
"And that is why she is supicious to me". said kelly."in the beginning of the case,elise and I have been going around investigating everyone around anna and also lily too.you and logan also did your own secret investigation which helped us a lot".she then adds."so how is it possible that none of us haven't mentioned her name before?".
Jordan's brain processed her words which he found agreeable to."it-".
Jordan was unable to finish his words as his phone rang.he checks the caller before picking it.
"Hey".
~Hey~.logan's voice came out from the other side.~Is kelly there with you?~
"Yes".
~Put me on speaker ~
"Okay".jordan said as he put his phone on speaker mode."logan".he mouths to kelly who raised an eyebrow to him."you are on speaker log".
~Sorry I can't be there right now as am caught up at the moment so I'm calling instead~
"What about elise?.will she be calling too?".asked kelly.
~Elise isn't available right now so I don't she will be calling~
"And Andy?". jordan asked."he isn't here as well".
~I'm afraid that it's just us three~
"Alright then".jordan said.
"So how will they know what we talked about?".asked kelly.
~I will make sure to explain things to elise and andy later~
"Okay". said kelly.
~What did I miss?~
(~ indicate logan speaking so please don't be confused).
"Nothing much.just....".jordan quickly explained to logan about their earlier discussion."so that's everything".
~jordan.have you done a background check on her?~
"Not yet". jordan answered.
~Will it take long if you do it now?~
"About 30 minutes". said jordan.
~So I think we can wait for you~he then adds~right kelly?~
"Sure". said kelly."there's nothing much to do anyways".
"Okay then.let me get started".he then went to get his laptop and starts to work on it.
While waiting for jordan,kelly spoke to logan."So you also don't know her and you have never heard of her?". kelly asked referring to logan."that's news".
~Is it weird to say that I don't know her?~
"Yes because you always know everything".kelly said.
~Not everything though.am not that great or anything ~
"So you really haven't heard of her before?".kelly asked."not even once?".
~Alright~logan sighs.~maybe I have heard of her name just once but I know nothing about her~
"I was right".kelly said.
~I just heard her name.nothing more~
"Sure".although kelly wasn't satisfied,she kept her silence.
"I'm done guys".jordan said."I tried my best and all I can tell you is that amy and anna knew each other".
"But eva told me that they didn't know each other". said kelly."I asked from some students on my way here and they said the same thing".
"Really?". jordan asked."now something is fishy".
"What's the next step to take?. should I question her?".asked kelly.
~I don't think that's a good idea~
"I disagree as well". said jordan."we will get nothing from doing that instead we will alert her".
"Because.."
"Because she has been evading us". jordan completed."I have to commend her smartness though.she directed our attention to lily and cole which led us to jessica and..~
"Michael". said kelly finishing logan words."so we won't ever think of her.she made those two more suspicious to us so our attention was on them".
~It's just as the saying goes.it's always the quiet ones~.logan discussed more with them reaching a conclusion to wait for the others before making a final decision.
Logan hung up the call leaving the duo in the room in silence.
"So kelly...". jordan starts."what happens to us?".
Kelly stood up proceeding to leave."we can talk about 'us' when everything is over".
