Tyson's POV
The next few days of school were the best. Whenever I saw Jake, he quickly turned around the other way. I don't think he actually even spoke to anyone. It didn't matter to me anyway.
It was the end of Friday - finally and I couldn't be happier. Well actually, I could be happier. Maybe if Giselle would talk less about worrying about her mother because she hasn't spoken to her in 2 weeks and more about.. Well I don't know.. More interesting things.
"Do you think she's alright ?" Giselle asked when we walked home.
"Giselle, she's fine" I sighed.
"But.. She would have called me or something. I've called her hundreds of times. Her phone's turned on but theres just no answer" she said.
"Look, we can even go to her work place and ask the people there to contact her for you" I suggested, which, not to be stuck-up or anything, was the best idea that she probably wouldn't have even thought of.
"Really ?" she asked happily.
"Yeah. We can stop by there now if you want" I put my hand on her shoulder.
She gave me this smile that was like she just blew out her candles on her 5th birthday.
"Can we get a taxi though ? My legs are killing me" I chuckled.
10 minutes later we hopped into the taxi - on our way to the investigating department. Her mother works as a private investigator and earns a heap of money.
"Ok, here we are. $23.10 please".
Giselle's POV
After paying the taxi driver, I skipped (not really) into the building. I loved coming here. I've been here once or twice. Children aren't really meant to come in because there's a lot of expensive breakable stuff.
The doors opened automatically. Everything was so bright.
"Hi. Um I was just wondering if you could get in contact with Yasmin Delacruz ? She's gone away on a business trip and I've been calling her cell for the past 2 weeks but no answer" I said to the guy at the front desk.
"Oh, Yasmin Delacruz ? I uh, I think I've heard her name before. See, I'm new here. I'll just go check at the back. Hold on a minute" the guy said, leaving us to wait.
"Giselle ? Is that you ?" David, one of the workers came around the corner with the same guy that was at the front desk before.
"Yeah" I smiled.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, surprised.
"I was going to ask if it was possible for you to contact my mum. Since she's gone on that business trip, I haven't spoken to her in 2 weeks and I'm getting worried" I mentally cross my fingers. It would be nice to hear that she was ok.
"Um. No, sorry I can't do that. We don't even have her details anymore" David answered.
"But.. Why not ?! You should have every detail about her, where she's going.. Her contact number.." I said with frustration. And you would think INVESTIGATORS would be more organised with keeping information.
"Why would we keep a record ?" David asked confused.
"Because you guys are the people that sent her on that stupid 8 month business trip !" I practically screamed. I didn't care if the world heard me. David looked at me as if I had lost my mind.
"You've lost me.. What trip ? We're not allowed to keep record of any of that stuff. Maybe if you give me the new company she's working for, I could find out for you by next week ?" he sighed.
"What on earth are you talking about ?" I whispered.
"Yasmin Delacruz was fired about 3 months ago" David answered. "You knew that right ?"
No, I didn't know that !
"Fired ?" I cleared my throat. David nodded.
"I.. Why did she get fired ?" I asked.
"She didn't know how to do her job properly, I'm afraid" David chuckled and nudged a girl who was next to him and she also started into a fit of giggles. My cheeks were growing hotter and I felt like strangling the lady and David.
"How dare you ?!" I scream, trying to scramble over the table.
"GISELLE. What are you doing !" Tyson grabbed me back. I couldn't help myself but NO BODY talks about my mum.
"David, what's going on ?!" Danielle came over. I've met Danielle a few times, she's really nice but she gets angry if you stare at the scar on her cheek. She's never told anyone about how she got that scar, according to mum.
"N-nothing, boss" David stuttered. I hope he loses his job for making fun of other people.
Danielle looked over to me. I was half on the table and my hands were ready to strangle David.
"I'll take it from here" Danielle said, dismissing David.
"Yes, boss".
"So, what is the problem ?" Danielle asked me. I got off the table.
"You fired my mother" I said quietly.
"And now she's got her daughter to come here and threaten us ?" Danielle asked me.
"No. She didn't. I actually have no idea where she is. Last time I saw her, she said she was going on a business trip. I only found out today that she was fired 3 months ago" I sobbed.
"Oh" was all Danielle said, as she put her hand on my shoulder for comfort.
"What's your mother's name again ?" she asked me.
"Yasmin Delacruz" I wiped away my tears.
"Oh yes. I remember her" Danielle took her hand back.
Tyson's POV
"Can you help me find her ? I mean, yous are investigators" Giselle pleaded. I felt sorry for her. She must be so upset to hear her mum was fired and now she's on some sort of business trip to who knows where doing who knows what ? And on top of it all, she lied to Giselle.
"Sorry, but even if you submit your case in, nothing will be done about it till maybe a couple of months. We're in a sort of important case at the moment. If you plan on finding out sooner, I suggest you think of a different method" Danielle said to Giselle.
"Isn't there anything you can do ?" Giselle asked, beginning to cry again.
"Well actually, I think there is. I know someone that can help. If you come by tomorrow, same time, I could bring you there" Danielle suggested.
"Thanks. We'll be here" Giselle smiled. I couldn't help but smile too. Not that I could be completely happy. I mean, my aunties missing for Christ's sake..
I felt so old though. I'm a fifteen year old in year 9, and submitting a case with the private investigators about a missing mother.
