Always Been You [EXO Series Book One]

Chapter Nineteen

Chapter Nineteen [edited]

Vanessa POV

My stomach was growling because I was hungry. Luckily I had my glow-in-the-dark watch with me. 

I read the time again and counted. Oh God, its been 18 hours since I've eaten. Wow, does Samantha starve her prisoners now? 

I stood up and pace the room quietly, careful that my footsteps don't make a sound. Luckily I had Julius to teach me that. 

Maybe I was too deep into my thoughts that I didn't hear footsteps outside my door. Trevor had slammed it open and there was food in his hands. 

"You're finally awake, huh?" Trevor motioned for me to sit on my bed and he closed the door.

"You must be hungry. Come and eat, Nessa." I stood there with my arms crossed. 

"You're not hungry?" He was taking the food out of the plastic bag and placing it on the bed for me. 

"How am I hungry when my ex-best friend came back from hell and kidnapped me? Even worse, my current male best friend is working for her!"  I yelled at him and sat at the corner of the room.

Trevor stopped what he was doing and looked to me. I wasn't going to show my fears. He needs to know that I wasn't afraid of him, or Samantha.

"You're right. You shouldn't be hungry. But you know what? I'm just gonna leave the food and napkins here. Samantha doesn't want you to starve to death." He looked me into the eyes. 

I could see what he was trying to tell me. 'Read what I wrote on the napkins. It explains everything. But don't be too obvious, there's security cameras in here.' 

He got up and left after I nodded, meaning I understood what he meant.

Once he left the room, I quickly got up and ran to the bed. I opened the box and found black bean noodles. Were we in Korea? I snapped the chopsticks in half and dug in. 

I finished the noodles in record time and picked up the bottle of water. I unscrewed the cap and drank two mouthfuls. I then took out the napkins and pretended to wipe my mouth. 

My eyes were sharp, so I was able to read it fast. 

'I love Mikaela.'

What the fuck?

Luhan POV

'The person you're calling is unavailable. Please try later.'

Yah, its been four hours, why isn't Mikaela answering her phone?

I dialed her number once more. 

Du~ Du~

Du~ Du~

"Oppa, what happened?" Mikaela finally answered her phone and that's what she says?

"What do you mean what happened? Your phone was unanswered for four hours! What were you doing?" I yelled into the phone. Luckily we were already at the dorm.

"I've been trying to reach you for four hours! What do you mean my phone was unanswered!" She yelled back.

Calm down, Luhan. No matter what, you can't get angry. 

"Never mind my attitude. I'm sorry. What was the purpose of you going to contact me?" I said calmly.

She sighed and continued. I could hear her trembling. Oh damn, is something happening? Oh my God, is she hurt?

"Where's Baekhyun and Sehun?"

"They're in their rooms. Wae?" 

"Can you please make sure for me?"

I sighed and walked over to Baekhyun and Chanyeol's room. I opened the door softly and peeked in. Chanyeol was in bed, but Baekhyun's bed sheets were crumpled and the window was open. 

I quickly ran into Sehun and Suho's room. The same thing appeared in front of my eyes. 

"Saeng, where are Sehun and Baekhyun?"

"I'm afraid that's what we're trying to solve."

"I don't care. I'm flying over now." 

"Don't. I'm on my way with my team. Stay with the others and don't let them out of your sight. Arasso?" 

And then she hung up, just before I was able to say 'arasso'. *sigh* She is just so mental.

Jordan POV

"Do you guys remember the plan?" 

"Yes!"

"Then you, explain." I pointed towards one of the nervous-looking people.

"We are divided into three teams. You lead Team A, Julius leads Team B and Mikaela will lead Team C. Team A will cause distractions and deactivate the security cameras. Team B will protect Team C until team C reaches their destination and save Vanessa."

"Good job. Now, get some rest before we arrive in Korea. We wouldn't want jet lag, would we?" 

"No, sir."

"Good. Now go into your cabins."

Vanessa, hang on. We're on our way.

Mikaela POV

"What did he say?" We were on the jet, halfway across the country to Korea. 

"Sehun and Baekhyun are missing, Elisa. They're not there." 

"Then.."

"We'll fight fire with fire. Call Trevor. Use the pre-paid phone."

"Yes, ma'am." 

Vanessa POV

He loves Mikaela?!

If he loves her, why would he be working for her ex-best friend a.k.a the world's most dangerous criminal?

What in the world was going on here? 

I unfolded the napkin and folded it again. 

What is he trying to say? 

~*~*~*~*~*

"Vanessa, aren't you hungry? You only ate a plate of black bean noodles and drank two mouths of water." Trevor was in the room again.

"Leave it. I'll just eat when I'm hungry."

"I can't do that. My orders were to wait until you finished your food."

"I said, leave it! Let Evans do whatever she wants with me."

"Whatever." I read his expression like the last time and he got out, slamming the door hard to prove that he still cares about us to help us.

I took out the Nandos box and ate the chicken. I gulped down the whole bottle of water as he got me the extra spicy chicken. 

I then took out the napkin and did the same thing.

'They're coming for you.'

If that's that, does this mean that Trevor is just a spy for Mikaela? 

He isn't really working for Samantha Evans?
