Don't Let Me Go (Book 1)

Chapter 80

Lucas and I drove to Gorge's place. When we arrived at his house. I noticed how stunned Lucas was by the beauty of the place. No one would ever believe that a person like Gorge would live in such a home. And most importantly. He leaves alone. Having an actress for a mother and a businessman for a father. Loneliness and boredom become your best friend.

'' This is a surprise'' Gorge scanned Lucas and I as we stood at the entrance of his house. He carried a priceless expression on his face with his arms crossed. Messy hair, wearing a sweatshirt and pants.

'' There is no time for this Gorge, are you helping me or not'' A proud beggar is what I became. The guy is a piece of shit and I can't see myself begging him for anything But I knew it would get to the point where I may have to beg. I am about to go crazy here, knowing that Maria is not safe. I don't even know where the fuck she is.

'' That shouldn't be the attitude of someone who needs help''

'' Look Gorge'' Lucas stepped in. ''It seems like Maria is in trouble and we need to get to her, It is argent''

'' what kind of trouble'' he uncrossed his arm in interest

'' I honestly don't know. Logan isn't giving me the details... please, help us'' Gorge thought for a while

'' Did you two break up?'' with eyes focused on me

'' that is none of your concern'' Seriously, how does it concern him if Maria and I broke up

'' You reck from alcohol, looks like you haven't had a decent sleep in weeks.... you have looked far better honestly'' Now he was getting on my nerves

'' are you going to keep analysing my appearance or help me?''

'' Yeah... I will'' he turns around '' Come in''

''Thanks so much, dude'' Lucas followed immediately while I followed behind him.

Gorge led us through the house to his bedroom. From there, he leads us to a secret room in his bedroom. The room was filled with Computers and security equipment. Dark but the most lively room in the house so far. I noticed he spent more time as here from the leftovers littered around

'' Damn Dude. You are fully equipped'' Lucas admired the place. My eyes travelled to the screens to see that they were recording life at different locations, I saw our school, packs, supper markets, bus stops... This dude is a pure psycho

'' So this is what you do with your time'' irritation in my tone

'' trust me. It is more entertaining than movies''. He winks and then takes a seat. While Lucas and I stood behind him '' You said you couldn't track her on her phone''

'' Yeah'' Lucas said

'' We need to ...''

'' hack a satellite'' Lucas and Gorge said in union. They looked at each other and smiled, making me roll my eyes

'' How long would it take''

'' A while'' Gorge says as he begins to operate his keyboard

'' A long while, we have no idea where she is and since you said she left the country. We don't even know what country she's in. It will take a while''

'' I don't have a long while''

'' Dude, you have to wait. She is in trouble not dying'' Gorge mocked, making me frown. The chances my father would go after her life is very high.

'' Dude, can you at least tell us what is going on'' Lucas looks away from Gorge to me. He carried a concerned look.

'' I will tell you soon''
