Never Forget You (Niall Horan Fan Fic)

Chapter 16

Ashley's POV

I finally come home and that's when I get a phone call. 

It's the company that I work for, they are probably going to fire me. I know it. I mean, being in a illegal situation and many things happening in just 1 month. It's crazy. 

"Hello."

"Hello Ms. Elswick we would like to talk to you. I am the Head Supervisor Dr. Derek Johnson of the FBI. We would like to talk to you about a promotion."

"Excuse me Dr. Johnson?" I say shocked, but steadily. Has he been watching my work?

"Ms. Elswick, we have been watching your work, and looking you up, we know about your college degrees, and you will be working with, what we have studied, to be your best friend."

"Oh Mackenzie, she is such a good worker. She's so dedicated to it and has caught so many criminals."

"May we say world class criminals. But we have been studying and our studies show you catch 91% of the criminals you've been tracing. So the FBI would like your help on this case of Louise Nelson."

"It would be an honor sir." I say.

"So glad you accepted this, you can start in a couple of days, but who would you like to fill in for you at work?"

"My friend Donna, she would be fit for the job."

"Okay Ashley, we will see you in a couple of days."

He hangs up.\

I jump on my bed celebrating

"YES I GET A BETTER JOB THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH GOD."

I am quite lonely tonight. I decide to invite my friend over.

I call Kenzie.

"Hello?" she says.

"Hey Kenzie! Wanna spend the night at my flat tonight? I'll buy us Starbucks don't worry."

"Sure Ashley! I'm quite lonely anyway! I should go ahead and be on my way!"

Later in the Night

"Hey Ashley, have you read that note yet?" She says.

I stop and think for a second,

How does she know about the note?

"Mackenzie, how do you know about the note?" I say staring at her.

"Oh, um," I see a bit of her regretting what she said,

"Oh Niall told me you had some kind of note or something from that girl or whatever." She plays it cool, but I believe her, Niall seems like a chit chat kind of person.

"Oh okay, hey I have amazing news for you!"

"What is it! TELL ME!" She says impatiently.

"I'm gonna be working with you on the case!"

A flash of nervousness crosses her eyes, but then it fades away and she looks up at me.

"That's awesome! We can work together and catch this person!" She says less excitingly.

Mackenzie is acting wierd, it's probably where Luke died and all this stress is building up in all of us for the past month.

We put in the movie Pitch Perfect, our favorite, and start singing along with it, we eat popcorn and have fun. The most fun I've had in a very long time.

Then we crash on all the sugar and butter and get bored very quickly.

"So, have you and Niall kissed?" She says elbowing me.

"No, sometimes he can be so arrogant but we just cuddled and had a moment. Nothing much."

"I thought you really liked him, he is really into you, hope you know that. But I guess follow what's best in your heart. But reading the signs between you two had been very romantic. Especially how he acted when you got shot by Becky."

"Yeah, but this person is his sister. I mean if you read Louise's profile and look at her, they look alike and have the closest profile. But why would she want to protect her brother. It seems like most cases of brother and sister is trying to kill one another." I say staring at the file.

"Yeah maybe they have such a deep connection, maybe, or is that he saved her life and took care of her, maybe he was there when her parents weren't, maybe she looks up at him like a great person and she feels she should act like him." Mackenzie says staring deep into my eyes.

"But that's just maybe." 

It gets silent until she says, 

"Maybe you should really read that note, maybe it's telling you something. If you look at it, everything is numbered and leads to clues of this case. Like reading the signs as you're going down a highway."

"Yeah I should, I'll read it now."

I grab the note out of my jacket pocket, and open it.

It says, 

To Ashley,

Hey again, I see you are reading the signs and finding out who this person is. Surprisingly, I'm shocked you haven't figured this out yet, you are so smart and clever, and I'm gonna cut you some slack. You don't know the past between me and my brother. I just want him to be safe, and you are breaking his heart, I knew you would do that, the first time you met him, I saw how you acted around him, it was weird and I knew you were going to hurt him. He has been hurt by you very bad. Everytime that happens, someone may die, someone may be tourtured, my rule is, if you hurt him, you hurt me, and you should feel the same pain. Wow, my partner is so stupid. Oh just figured that out? Oopsies I let slip, well keed on reading the signs and do what you think. - From The Girl

I don't get it, I know who it is! Louise Anne Nelson! All we need to do is find her,

but how?
