LOST EVERYTHING

Chapter 6

I froze as I stared at my phone in shock. As I brought my hand to cover my mouth making sure no flies entered.

I cannot believe these people tried to kill my sister... but more importantly,  I can't believe they mistook me for my sister! How dare they! I am obviously more masculine than her, even in the dark.

Life is just full of surprises and not always the good ones. You just be thinking it is normal and boring as usual and then boom. You find out something that you kind of wish you didn't know. As if my sister getting kidnapped wasn't enough. I know I have whined about that over and over, but it will take years to get over it. It feels like the universe let her come back so it could use her to make a joke out of me.

I thought my days, having to worry about her were over but I guess not. Those idiots are still on her case. WHY DID THEY TRY TO KILL HER? Ok they tried to kill me, but meant to kill her, so... yeah.

Anyway, why are they after her? What do they want from her? What do they want from my family? Is it something personal? If so then I definitely cannot trust anyone including Carol. I will try and avoid him since he can read my mind.

It could even be her bestie for all I know, she was always a weird kid. So she is one of the suspects. The fire that happened weeks ago, someone had to get in to start it from inside, since it seems personal, it could be one of the employees. They are all suspects.

So the people I work with, my employees, friends, Kelly's friends, are suspects. My parents are also DEFINETELY suspects. The first on the board.

When we reached the apartment, me and Kelly got out of the car. She was about to enter the house and then I spoke.

"Kelly, pack up everything. We are moving again." It is easy since we don't own the house, we were just renting so it is easy.

She froze and blinked at me, before finally speaking. "What? Why?" she asked with a pout on her face. Poor girl, I hope she don't throw a tantrum on me, I am just trying to keep her safe.

"You would rather I don't tell you." I don't want to scare her more than she already is. She has faced enough trauma for a decade. She does not need to know the kidnappers are after her.

"So I have to leave all my friends?" YES. If any of them are involved, we will be safer. I said that in my head of course.  "At least I get to go to a new school and make a new name for myself. I will make a new impression of myself, and make everyone fear me." she smiled mischievously holding her fist in the air as she entered the building.

Yay! She is back to normal.

It took hours before everything was packed up. I paid the owner of the apartment and we were on to our way to the car before she started to aggravate me.

"So why are we moving?" she was seated in the passenger seat and she jumped a little from her seat as she asked.

"I told you, I can't tell you" I replied, focusing my eyes on the road, before hearing the car start to beep. She put on her seat belt knowing that was what the car was waiting for.

"Why?" answering that would defeat the purpose of me not telling you.

"I just can't"

"OMG do your now work for the FBI or something?" I was not looking at her, but I could imagine her eyes widening as she asked that. She is acting and sounding like a five-year-old.

"No" I laughed at her ridiculous try to guess the reason.

"Ok... sure you are not." She said, sarcastically. "wait... is it to do with what happened yesterday?"
