My Best Friend || Joel Pimentel

Chapter 23

"Angelina Fernandez is missing" The police officer said.

Those four words has hit me hard. I feel like I'm going to burst into tears but at the same time kill whoever took my little cousin.

"You'll be able to come home tomorrow afternoon miss." He then left and I was just there shocked. I got a message from an unknown number.

Unknown: oops looks like you just lost a little cousin, you take away something from me I do the same thing.

Me: who is this WHERES ANGELINA!

Unknown: don't worry she's safe. She's with me. And who am I? You're worst nightmare.

From there I didn't text back. I'm going to find out who it is! And trust me this isn't going to end pretty.

.

So I slept over at Joel's hotel room. I'm still in his big shirt that is down to my knees, he let me borrow last night. I'm so depressed knowing that my cousin is with someone dangerous.

"Hello earth to Zandra." Joel said waving his hand in front of me.

"Yea?" I said not making eye contact.

"More tea?" He asked. I didn't even notice I had tea in the first place.

"No thank you," I said putting my cup down. I heard Joel sigh.

"Calm down Zandra, we'll find her."

"But what if we don't find her in time?" I said thinking negative.

"We will. Trust-" My phone ran and quickly pick it up.

Unknown: See? I told you she is safe.

The unknown person the send a picture of Angelina. She was all tied up around the chair with rope. She had a bandana tied around her mouth. There's a table right in front of her with some tea cups, a tea pot, plates, and some stuff animals.

Me: give her back. What do you want from her!?

Unknown: oh no honey I don't want anything from her.

Me: Then what is your reason to kidnap her?

Unknown: I want you and Joel. Meet me at the park in the playground area at Midnight. Don't be late. If you're one second late, you're too late to save her. And don't you dare call the cops because for sure, you're going to find you're cousin dead.

"Joel we have to meet this person at midnight, not a second late." I said running out of bed.

"Zandra it's barely nine in the morning. We have like 15 hours."

"Okay well I'm going to sleep for 14 hours." I said going back to bed and putting the sheets over my head.

Joel then pulled the sheets away and got me off of bed. "Joel I don't want to go out." I whined.

"Too bad. I'm scared and worried about Angelina also, but we got to buff up and show that person that we're not afraid of them. Now here put on three pairs of my socks, that should protect your feet, since I don't want you to wear your heels." Joel said. I giggled. "Aww there's that smile again. Ready?" He asked.

"Ready." I said. We walked out of his hotel. We head to Starbucks and everyone looked at me weird. I didn't really care because if they were in my situation they will do the same.

"May I take your order?"

"Grande Passion Fruit ice tea lemonade." I quickly said and sat down. Joel then order and sat down with me.

It was quite when we walked back to the hotel room. In just an hour I'm going back home with Joel. So I decided to gather my belongings. Once I finished I went to bed.

"Joel?"

"Yes?"

"How long are you going to be here?"

"A while. Why?" He asked.

"Do you want to come over to my house instead?" I asked.

"Only if you want to." He kissed my head and turned on the T.V.

.

It's currently 10 o'clock pm. Just two more hours until we get Angelina back. I'm in my room sitting on my bed impatiently. Joel is sitting in my study area and is on his phone.

Time is taking forever. It fells like I've been waiting for a year, but in reality it has been an hour. At 11:45 Joel and I head out.

"Where are you guys going?!" My tia said stopping us.

"Tia we'll be right back, I promise." I said heading out the door. But she grabbed my black hoodie.

"Not at this time Zandra. I lost my sister, now Angelina. I don't want to lose you." She said with tears.

"Tia I promise you I'll be right back. I have Joel with me. Tia, if you don't let me go, it's going to be too late."

"Too late for what?!" She angrily said.

"I'll explain later. I love you Tia. Thanks for always being here for me." I hugged and kiss her. During that moment I slip a piece of paper in her pocket. Joel and I ran out and head to the park.

It was 11:59 and no one is here yet. Then all of a sudden, A white van came parked. Two big guys and two tiny people came out. I looked at Joel then back at them and ran over there.

"Zandra," Joel said after I ran. And then came face to face with the kidnapper. Anna.

"Well well well. And we meet again." She said.

"Just give me Angelina and do whatever you want to do." She gave me a dirty look, she snapped her fingers and the two body guard came with Angelina.

They drop her to the ground and Joel and I quickly ran to her. We took off the bag and I can't believe what I saw. I looked up at her and she smirk. "Get them boys." The two big body guards got us and head to the van. I tried screaming for help but it was too late. This was all a set up.
