As I slip into one of our cars and start to drive, My mind is mostly dead set on teasing the asshole that interrupted my chess game.
You may ask how you play chess by yourself, well it's called solo chess, of course, I have normal chess but my friends usually don't like to play.
But another part of my mind is on the girl he mentioned, like teasing him about it is fun, however, a bruise? The flinching? Seems odd.
We have the resources to help the girl if needed, we just need her identity. Then we can see her situation and other things like that.
We've done things like this before so it's no biggie, but my friend is obviously infatuated with her so my curiosity gets the best of me.
I pull into the chemist's parking lot and hop out of the car. Slamming the door shut in annoyance, I really wanted my alone time.
I add a bit of bounce to my step as I enter the employees-only room. I know a guy named Aiden that can give me the tapes and I can save them on a hard drive if necessary.
I waltz into the camera room and spot Aiden, "Hey mate long time no see" I say with a polite smile as I extend my hand.
Aiden takes my hand and shakes it "It has been a minute, what do you need this time?" He smirks.
Aiden is probably excepting something involving murder and lots of blood, or drugs. He's helped us through a lot of things, he's like our wing man.
I recall me and Silas's conversation "I wanted to look at some footage at your store, could you do that for me?" Aiden glances at the door behind me to make sure it's locked and returns his gaze to me.
"Yeah sure, no problem. I just need the time and date and you're free to browse" I tell him the time of today Silas went shopping, and Aiden sat down and started typing something before hopping out of his chair and gesturing it to me.
"Here you are, I'm gonna go on break so I'll see you soon." I nodded at him, and made sure he left the room.
I walked over to the chair and sat in it and looked at the screen, I look through a couple screens before I see Silas and scroll through so I can see the girl.
I see her and zoom in with the mouse, black hair, a short frame and a pale complexion.
But I look closer and faintly see the bruise he was talking about, it's hard to tell if it is or not because the tapes are black and white. However I do notice the odd behavior, the flinching, she literally looks like he has a knife up to her throat, though, he's just gawking at her.
I see the rest of the odd footage, making sure there was nothing else before hopping out of the chair before exiting the building and entering my car.
While driving I think about ways we can find this mystery girl, and hopefully, figure out if she's just being paranoid or something much worse is going on.
Short chapter I knowww but I literally don't know what to write so... but anyways here you areee. I've been sick and school just started but it shouldn't affect my updates, mostly just writers' block.
