Undercover (A Randry Story)

Chapter 5 - Partners?

Landry's P.O.V.

I sat down at an empty table together with Kevin. I plopped down at my chair and began to eat.

"So how well did you knew Lauren?" Kevin asked.

I looked up and looked right at him.

"I'm sorry, I know you don't like questions but I just got so curious when I heard about the disapperence. Everyone here is talking about it and I kind of feels left out since I don't know anything about it" He quickly added.

"It's annoying isn't it? When everyone knows about something but not you. I've always been that kind of person who wants to know everything and when I was younger I sometimes pretended that I was a detective. Whenever someone lost something I'd always try to find it" I said and chuckled.

"Yeah... I totally gets you. I guess curiousity runs in my family. And really? A detective?" He said and chuckled too.

"Yep! And I was awesome at it!" I said and smiled widely.

"Is it something that you still like or? To solve mysteries?" He asked.

"I don't know... I mean I doesn't do it in the same way as before but I love to watch TV shows where they solve mysteries or crimes or like figures stuff out in general... Also when Lauren disappeared last summer and the police didn't find any signs of what could have happened to her, I actually tried to look for clues myself, but it didn't go that well so..." I said.

"Maybe I could help you out. Not to brag or anything but I'm actually really smart." He said.

"If you know how to find someone who has left no clues behind them then sure, tell me what to do" I said.

"I can't come up with anything right now at the spot but if I do I'll tell you. But it requries that you tell me more about Lauren, you and in detail what happened the night she disappeared" He said.

"Okay sure, only because I'm really desperate to find her again plus two brains are better than one. Although I have this feeling that something's up with you because your so called parents never talked about you, just so you know Kevin Shepard, if that's even your real name" I said.

"It is my real name, but okay, you can think whatever you want about me and I can't control that. Partners?" He said and stretched out his hand over the table.

"Partners!" I said and shook his hand.

He smiled at me and I smiled back. Even though this kid is seriously suspicious I'm taking this chance. I'd do anything to find Lauren again and if he isn't of any help then life will just go on as it does now. It's not that I have anything to lose on this. Plus he seems fairly cool and maybe I'll make a new friend. I mean after the summer Adam, Luke and their other friends will go off to University/College and I will be all alone during my senior year if I don't put some effort to make a new friend.
