CHANGING DIRECTION [Camren Original] g!p

Home

After the broadcast, police are now visiting Simon Mendes in his own company showing him an arrest warrant.
Deputy Ally Hernandez is leading the team to arrest Simon and brought him to the precinct.
“You just can’t arrest me, Deputy!” he exclaimed.
“I bet you can read Mr Mendes,” and she tapped the arrest warrant, “we’re not serving you this if you didn’t commit a huge crime that will surely took the rest of your time behind bars, just pray you will not be in line of the death row.”
“You fuck—”
“I will add that to the list of your crimes, Mr Mendes, disrespecting the officer in his time of arrest,” and she motioned her men to put a handcuff to Simon’s wrist.
“YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE!” he shouted, “get off me! You fucking imbeciles!”
“That’s another one, Mr Mendes, if I were you, you will shut the fuck up and let us assist you out of your company, don’t wait for us to drag you out and oh if you’re talking about evidence, we have it all in the station, deny if you want and call your best lawyer if you want,” and she smirk, “come on guys.”
And they pulled Simon holding his arms, handcuffed wrists on his back.

Shawn on the other hand was pissing on his pants after he watched the broadcast and the people around him was eyeing him suspiciously so what he did is to run and hide, that’s all he can do right now. His father already arrested, he’ll be the next in line and that’s for sure. His wanted poster is now on media’s because the evidences are already on the New Jersey Police Station where his case supposed to be.
*** 
“That fucking serves him right!” Jonas exclaimed throwing his socks towards the TV, Simon Mendes’ arrest was on TV.
“How could he?” Sherry asked in disgust, “he even dared to run on the upcoming election.”
“Like father, like son,” Isaac commented.
“Let’s hope that Shawn shit is behind bars now.”
Jonathon shook his head, “it’ll take months for sure, his wanted posters are all over Miami now.”
“Then it’ll took days not months,” Sahara disagreed.
“Jonathon is right, he had a point,” Isaac said.
“What do you mean, Papi?”
“Because this is not over yet,” Isaac began to explain and leaned forward, resting his arms on his knees, “the kidnapper that took Camila still didn’t contact us and it’s not Shawn that took her.”
“What?!”
Isaac nodded, “it was someone that Shawn didn’t want to mess with, whoever that is, he/she’s exposing the Mendes' the final act will be that white envelope that was in Camila’s locker.”
***
“THIS is not a—real bomb, are they?” Camila asked after Lauren let her wear a jacket full of bombs that she always saw in the movies.
“Of course, not, baby, it was only Shawn that messed up with me, this was just a scare for them not to approach you,” and she locked it then pinch her chin, “I will never hurt you,” and she give her a peck on the lips, “I’ll be on contact with you and I will let you drive a car, I’ll be watching you, you’ll only get that envelope then went back.”
Camila nodded and stared at Lauren, “okay.”
“Let’s leave.”
*** 
“Set the timer to ten minutes, Camila.”
Camila followed, she trusted Lauren, Lauren will not hurt her then the timer went on.
“You can step out now of the vehicle then we’ll meet at the rendezvous point that I’m talking about.”
“Okay,” she answered then stepped out of the vehicle.
Camila is not nervous she just walked through the entrance. The students were shocked upon seeing her but didn’t dare to approach her. She went to the locker and saw Austin and saw him subtly nod, he’s on watch so she proceeded to the plan. She entered her passcode and once it was accessed she opened it and stared at the white envelope so she took it, she feels that it was really a flash drive then stuff it back to her jacket and locked her locker.
“Follow Austin, police are on their way.”
And Camila did, never taking her eyes off Austin.
After a few seconds of following Austin she saw him taking a fast pace so she did too, until she saw him stopped.
“5 seconds,” and he moved away and reveal a hole.
Camila quickly passed that hole then saw a truck.
“Enter that truck, now.”
Camila followed, she opened the door of that truck and saw Lauren and she quickly hopped inside and they left the area.
Austin smirked because it was successful then he went back to the building like nothing happened.
***  
IT’S been a month already and the Cabello family didn’t hear anything from the kidnapper, they didn’t know if Camila is still alive.
“It looks like we need to take legal actions now, Mr Cabello,” Deputy Garcia said.
Isaac was contemplating and sighed, “fine, do what you want.”
“Sir Isaac,” the security called and whispered something to Isaac.
Isaac nodded, “let them in.”
The security nodded and jog towards the door.
“Well, have a pleasant evening, Mr Cabello, your daughter will be here tomorrow.”
“Hold it up right there, Garcia,” said with the feminine voice.
Garcia looked back and saw Ally, his superior and some of its men, “Deputy Hernandez, what is it?”
Deputy Hernandez didn’t answer, instead she ordered her men then her men move to Garcia’s side and handcuffed him.
“What’s the meaning of this?!”
“You’re still making us dumb aren’t you, helping Shawn Mendes to hide, we already know that you hid him and how you became an ally to him, helping him to get away from his murderous crime that happened in New Jersey,” and shook her head, “I don’t want to hear your explanation anymore,” “take him away and his men.”
“Yes, ma’am,” and they pulled Garcia away, handcuffed on its wrist.
“Mr Cabello,” and she handed her hand, “Deputy Ally Hernandez, in behalf of Miami Police we apologize for that little commotion, regarding to your daughter, don’t worry about her, she’s fine.”
“How did you know?”
“She was in the Miami U earlier, taking something on her locker, the person that tip us kind of legit so I’m sure one of this days you will see her again, unscratched, that’ll be all, Mr Cabello, have a good night,” then left the house.
“I don’t understand?” Sherry asked, confused.
“We’ll just follow, as long as Camila is fine.”
“That’ll be better,” Jonas agreed.
*** 
“DO I really have to go home?” Camila asked Lauren, they were in the living room, checking the flash drive and it was all there, the things that Lauren wanted.
“You don’t want to go home?”
“I do want to, but—”
“I don’t want to drag you into this, Camila and you already know why, I’m getting there and there’s no way I will back out.”
“Can I—Can I see you again…?” and her tears fell because she can’t take it anymore.
Lauren wiped the tears that falls from Camila’s eyes and she nodded, “I will find you,” and she kissed her.
*** 
“We’re here now,” Austin said to Camila, acting like a taxi cab driver.
Camila looked up and saw her family's house and she’s hesitating to step out of the cab.
“Your family is worried, so go, Camila.”
Camila nodded and she reached the door handle and pushed it.
“Before you go, I need to tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“Lauren left a note in your shoes, read it and you’ll understand, be patience and remember your alibi,” and he shrug, “well, it’s all up to you now.”
Camila gulped and nodded then she stepped out of the cab and shut the door and Austin left.
*** 
Isaac just went home fromhis work, since Camila's abduction he didn't stayed longer in his office, just spend a few hours then went home because he’s hoping for his daughter to come home then the TV was suddenly turned on when he was reading a newspaper in the living room.
“Papi,” Sahara called and pointed the TV.
A message appeared on the TV, saying: Thank you for your cooperation and I apologize for the inconvenience, your daughter is now on your doorstep, open it. Then it turned off.
They shuffled to their feet and went quickly to the doorstep, they opened it and saw Camila and they embrace her.
“Hey, I’m suffocating…you know…”
They pulled off after that.
“You’re not hurt, mija?” Sherry asked, checking Camila’s body.
“I’m not, mami.”
Jonathon frowned, “you’re the only person who got kidnapped and returned okay, you even gain weight, are you really kidnapped?” and she receives a smack from his twin.
“She is, idiot, but another kind of kidnapped,” and he looked at to Camila, “you look like you’re just taking a vacation, sis.”
“Your twin brothers are right, mija,” Isaac said, “are you really okay?”
“Yes, Papi, and—yeah, it looks like I’m taking a vacation.”
“Enough of this,” Sherry said, “come in, mija, we’re happy that you’re home and safe,” and she pulled her into the house.
*** 
Lauren put down her phone after talking to Austin, he just dropped Camila in front of its home. She slumped back, shut her eyes, thoughts of Camila running in her mind. She opened her eyes once more and sighed then sat straight and she began the last step. She can’t lose focus, not now.
*** 
Camila slumped back to her bed and sighed, she missed her bed, her room but what she misses the most is the room that she stayed while in Lauren’s house and she misses Lauren then she remembered what Austin said so she got up and took her shoe, she was about to pull it when she heard a knock from her door so she went back to her bed.
“Come in.”
The door opened and revealed her father, “Papi.”
“Hey, mija, can I?”
“Of course, come in.”
Isaac stepped inside and shut the door and walked towards his daughter, “how are you feeling?”
“I’m doing great, finally got home.”
“Tell me, what really happened?”
“I don’t want to tell you, Papi, part of the deal that I made with my captor the important right now, is I’m here, alive and well.”
“You really are well.”
“Let’s just say, the person only wanted Shawn Mendes, that’s all, the person just kidnapped me to get access to that envelope.”
“Yeah, we saw the broadcast, there’s another one.”
“I saw it too.”
“I’m really afraid, mija, I really thought you’ll be gone, like your Mami Kristy,” and his tears fell, “I’m really afraid.”
“Papi…” and she embraced him, “I’m fine, I’m here now and the person never hurt me.”
“Yes, I noticed and I’m glad,” and he kiss her forehead, “good night, mija.”
“Good night, Papi.”
And Isaac left.
Camila took the shoes again then heard another knocks and she sighed, “come in.”
The door opened and her siblings were revealed.
“Can we come in?” Jonas asked.
“Of course.”
And the three piled up, approached Camila.
“Sis, you really gained weight, I’m sure of that,” Jonathon said.
Sahara agreed, “you really are.”
“Hmm let’s just say my kidnapper is nice of me.”
“Does your kidnapper only want that asshole?” Jonathon asked.
“Yes, my kidnapper only wants him.”
“What will happen now?” Jonas asked.
“I don’t know, I suggest that we just watch the news.”
“Good point.”
After the question and answer portion they jammed for a bit, joined by their mother. They just left when it’s already 1am that they didn’t notice.
Camila sighed when they all left her room, she was beyond happy and then she took her shoes and search for the letter that Austin talks about. She did search but she found nothing but she didn’t give up, she even remove the shoe pad and there it was, a piece of folded paper so she took it, throw her shoes on the ground and laid on the headboard. She unfolded it and read the letter and saw their picture:
Camz,
You gave me one, so I give you one too, Camz, that’ll be the name I will call you, from now on. Forgive me for doing this I just don’t want to drag you into the mess that I created but I will see you soon, I promise. I will just end this and I hope you will not forget my face. I heard you saying ‘I love you’ to me and let me reply back, I love you too.
Camila bit her lip when she read that and went back to reading the letter.
You felt giddy I know. Anyways, wait for me, okay? It’s okay too if you can’t wait, I accept that. Don’t be mad at me for sending you home, I really wanted you to stay with me but not right now, we’ll do that after all of this. I just want a closure and the police just can’t do their job well, hope you understand. And in case you missed me just look at our picture. I’ll see you soon, Camz, okay? I love you. –LAUREN.
“I love you, too, baby,” and kiss the letter then the picture, “and yes, I’ll see you soon.”
