Giselle's POV
After school the next day, Tyson and I returned back to the investigating department - my mums OLD work place.
As we walked in, we were greeted by Danielle.
"Hi, I've been waiting for you guys" Danielle smiled warmly.
"Oh, sorry. Are we late ?" I blushed.
"No, not at all ! I've just got everything under control with that special case I told you about yesterday. It seems we'll have is solved sooner than we all thought. Follow me, please" she began leading us to the elevator.
20 floors up, we arrived at her office. She walked over to her desk and sat in her seat.
Daniela gestured us at 2 seats opposite from where she was sitting.
Tyson and I quickly sat down. Her table was messily stacked with folders and papers. Surrounding the walls were shelves which were also stacked with folders. They were all arranged according to letters.
"Mr. Hewer will be here soon. Now Giselle, if you don't mind, could you please bring that chair over there to the table so he'll have somewhere to sit ?" Daniela asked without looking at me. She was busily tidying up her desk.
"Sure" I answered, getting up to bring the chair from across the room.
I picked up the chair just as Daniela's office phone rang.
"P.I. Service, this is Daniela Hoult speaking" she answered.
"Oh, yes bring him up" she hung up. I put the chair down next to Tyson's.
"He's coming up now. If there is any question you aren't sure of or any question you don't feel comfortable answering, just let him know. Don't make up any old silly answer, this is a private investigator your dealing with. It's serious business" Daniela says slowly.
Tyson and I both nod our heads and I can't help but wonder what we got ourselves into.
Tyson's POV
There was the sound of a bell and the elevator doors opened. The man that stepped out was nothing like I'd imagined.
He was tall and built, but he wasn't wearing a business suit or anything business like related. He wasn't even carrying a suitcase. I wasn't sure if he was supposed to, but that's just how I imagined him to be.
He strode over and sat grumpily in the vacant chair - next to me. I had to admit, he was handsome up close. His eyes were cold but were a nice greeny blue colour. He had dirty blonde hair and a long pointy nose.
Daniela stood, and extended her hand out to Mr. Hewer.
He shook her hand firmly.
"Hello Max. Thanks for coming" Daniela smiled as she sat back down.
"What do you need, Daniela ?" he asked annoyed. You could tell, even with your eyes shut that he was definitely French.
He was actually nothing I imagined. Aren't private investigators meant to be happy to help ? That's why they had that job ?
"Well Max, I know that you don't work as a private investigator anymore but -" Daniela began.
Max Hewer slowly turned to look at me and Giselle and his eyes grew bigger - like it had just occurred to him that we were sitting in the same room all this time.
He turned his head back to Daniela.
"I just thought that..." Daniela was saying.
"No" he said firmly, cutting in.
"But..." Daniela protested.
"Daniela, we both have our reasons" Max said, cutting in again.
"But this is important. My whole firm is busy with the ... The 'special' case" Daniela continued quietly.
I looked at Giselle. She was staring coldly at Max.
Max stood up, ready to leave and Daniela took a deep sigh.
"Max, please. After everything, just help Giselle out here"
He sat back down and looked at Giselle.
"With what ?" he snapped.
"Go on Giselle" Daniela smiled.
"Well. About a month ago, my mother told me she was being sent on another business trip for 8 months. I've been calling her for the past 2 weeks and she hasn't been answering or returning my calls. I found out just yesterday that she was fired from here about a month ago, so I'm really worried" Giselle said.
"I see" Max nodded his head.
"So, does this mean you'll help with the case ?" Daniela asked.
"Yes, but only because I owe you from.. Well, you know" Max laughed. "Come by here after school and I'll drive you to my office and we'll get started" he said to Giselle and I in his strong French accent.
We both nodded out heads.
"It was nice seeing you again, Max" Daniela smiled, shaking hands with Max.
"Right. Here, same time tomorrow, yes ?" Max said, and turned around to leave.
Giselle's POV
I gratefully turned to Daniela.
"Thankyou so much" I smiled.
"It's nothing. Now you two go home now, I'm sure your care taker must be getting worried.. I'll see you tomorrow" Daniela shook my hand and Tyson's.
"Thanks" Tyson said to Daniela, and we stood up and left.
Jake's POV
"Jake, are you ignoring me ?" Amy grabbed my arm and pulled me around.
"What do you think ?" I said angrily.
She shook her head and chuckled. "Jake, you know I'm here for you. I wouldn't do anything that would hurt you" she came in closer.
"Just give me space" I pushed her away and began walking to my class. I heard her call out after me but I didn't bother.
"Jake ?" Amy asked, suddenly behind me.
"Amy, I've had enough, so leave me alone !" I spun around, only to find that it wasn't Amy - but it was Giselle.
"Jake" she repeated, taking a step closer.
"Just the person I wanted to see" I murmured.
"I'm sorry" she shrugged and turned her head away from me.
"I don't care," I said, and walked away.
