CHAPTER 4: Chase
- LIA -
After I cut the call with Althea, I put my attention back to my laptop and continued on searching more about that Dennise.
Almost all of the pictures in the internet that has my photo link to my social media accounts or to my friends'. There are some photos that I know weren't took here in the Philippines, but those photos have no link to go to.
I saw some pictures of me in front of the Eiffel Tower. There was also another one took at the Venice Grand Canal in Italy. There is also a photo of me inside a bar. But there was one photo that caught my attention.
It was Dennise and the man who kidnapped me, her ex-boyfriend. They are inside a fine dining restaurant. Both of them are smiling happily and the man was holding Dennise's hand.
If they are this happy before, I wonder what kind of thing happened to them for that man to be so angry at Dennise. Just one look at the photo and I can say that he is very in love with her, if not in love, then whipped. That kind of love is difficult to surpass, or change in the future.
I closed my eyes. Suddenly, the view of that man earlier went back to my mind. His eyes were bloodshot. He looked at me earlier like I was some kind of criminal who killed lots of people.
I'm sure that something bad happened that made him look at Dennise that way.
I grabbed my phone and checked if Yvette is online on her account. However, she has no activity status listed. I sent her a message.
Me: Hi, Yvette! I want to have a video call with you if you're available. Hindi ko kasi 'to madidiscuss through chat eh. Very important matter kasi. Thank you! (I can't discuss it through chat. It is a very important matter.)
I placed my phone back in the table and continue on searching more photos of Dennise. Like earlier, every photo of her does not have a link or account to go to. Every time I click the link of the photo, an "unavailable" or "removed" text pops up.
Scrolling in my laptop, I already reached the bottom of the page but I still haven't got any leads about her.
I let out a loud sighed. I didn't think that finding information about her will be this difficult.
Perhaps, that lady is really good at hiding. If the man earlier wasn't able to find her, I don't think I can do it. Besides, the old man with her in the photo Yvette sent to the group chat looks like someone who you will not choose to mess with. I'm sure that old man is protecting her.
My deep thoughts were interrupted when I heard that someone is calling me on my phone. I grabbed it and saw Yvette's name on the screen. I immediately clicked answer.
"Hi, Yvette!" I greeted her.
Yvette smiled at me. "Hi, Mahal! It's been a long time. I'm sorry, hindi ko agad nakita 'yung chat mo. I was busy decluttering my room." (I'm sorry, I wasn't able to see your chat.)
"It's okay. I just have a question," I said while putting my earphones and connecting it to my phone. "Nag-usap kami ni Althea kanina. She told me about the photo you sent to the GC when you were in Tarragona. (I talked to Althea earlier.)
Her mouth formed an "o" shape. "Oh, what photo is that though? Nakalimutan ko na kasi ang dami kong si-nend nun." (I forgot what it is since I sent a lot of photos.)
We both chuckled at what she said. Yvette really loves taking photos wherever she go.
"The photo of the lady who looks like me. Do you remember that?" I asked her.
