Chasing Chase

Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

Yo! How are you guys?

How is life treating ya?

I'm back with a new chapter.

Hope you like it.

Kinda long and a bit lacking on the action side but I had to write I to get the story started.

-------------------------------------------

3 a.m.

Lying in bed, I couldn't help but think about the letter Chase left me. I do not know why but I get the strange feeling that this is the beginning of something I will grow to love and hate at the same time.

Oh, my dear Chase, if only you had not done that two years ago. Then, we would still be in love, living a happy life. Sure, we would be facing many different problems throughout the years but we would have gotten through them together.

So many 'if onlys'.

3:30 a.m.

I have to find Chase.

I need to find Chase.

I grab my phone and call Hunter.

He answers on the third ring.

"Who thee hhelll isssssss it??", comes out of his mouth as soon as he picks up the phone.

It sounds like he drowned himself in a pool of alcohol.

"Hello, it's me", I reply.

"Ad-d-d Adele?", he slurs in a hopeful voice.

"No, it's Sarah", I tell him.

"Oh, Sarah, sooooo what's up? Since when do you stay up till 3 am?", he asks in a somewhat sober voice.

Since I lost Chase, I want to reply but the words did in my mouth.

I need to talk to him about Chase.

"Hunter, where are you?", I ask him.

"Um, why?", he asks.

Typical Hunter.

A question for a question.

"I need to talk to you. Face to face. It's about Chase", I tell him in a serious voice.

This does the trick.

"I am at a party. Jane's party", he replies.

"Well, where should we meet?", I ask hm.

He lets out a nervous laugh.

"I.....um....it's just that....." he trails off.

"Hunter, what did you do?", I ask him with suspicion.

"I lost the keys to my home and I am pretty sure all the servants are asleep aaannnnnddddd I don't have a car", he spills out.

"Ooookay. I'll come and get you then. You can stay at my home for the night", I tell him without thinking much.

"Are you sure? Won't your parents mind?", he questions.

"Nah, they are in Italy. Some business meeting", I assure him.

"Okay. I'll be waiting outside for you", he tells me and hangs up.

I get out of bed and go into the garage. The garage is more like a show room with many expensive cars.

I grab a car key from among many others. I press the button on the side of the key and hear the sound of a car's doors unlocking. I walk towards the sound and get into the Onyx.

It's my favorite color. Black.

I drive towards Jane's house and sure enough, Hunter is sitting on the pavement outside.

I roll down the window and tell him to get in. He obliges while mumbling a thanks.

I drive back home. It's better if we talk at home.

Once we reach home, I flash my ID at the camera and the automatic main gate opens up. I drive in, through the circular drive way and towards the garage. I park the car and we get both get out of the car and go in towards the main hall. The both of us crash on one of the sofas.

"Sooo.....", Hunter trails off.

"Where do you think Chase left the first clue?", I cut straight to the chase.

Pun intended.

"I have been thinking about the same thing. Knowing Chase and his sharp mind, I think he would leave he clue somewhere he and you both value and cherish. Some place you both like", he says.

I think over this for some time.

"Hmm, there is this one place....", I trail off.

"Yeah?"

"Well, there is this one tree in the woods where Chase and I used to go. We used to sit in its branches and talk and we even made this hole in the tree trunk. We used to call it our tree. It even has our names on it", I spill.

I look at Hunter whose stormy grey eyes are twinkling with happiness but they also contain a sharp glint of sadness.

"Well?", I ask him.

"Tomorrow, we go and check out your tree. Right now, we go to bed cause I am tired as hell", he answers.

"Okay. Might as well catch up on sleep. You can crash in any of the room you like. You know your way around here", I tell him while getting up and going up the main stair case and up towards my room.

"Night", Hunter calls after me in a tired voice.

"Good night, Hunter", I reply.

The story is finally beginning.

Oooh.
