18. A lake of piranhas to jump into instead.

Yvonne's POV

"Yvonne! Where have you been?" My best friend screams in my ear as I'm on the phone with her.

"I know. I know. We haven't been in touch recently. But a lot has happened over the past days that I haven't told about. I'm sorry." We are still on the road and I feel Dallas' gaze on me.

"What has been happening?" Crystal asks worriedly.

"I'll tell you later okay? Don't worry." I reassuringly tell her.

"Okay. Bye sugar." She hangs up.

We get home to see the police there already. We answer all questions and they tell us not to worry about Dallas' mom and Alex. That they will do everything in their power to find them. I snort at that statement.

"What if they are not able to find them?" I ask Dallas when they leave. "Should I just sit back and relax?"

I pace around the living room and Dallas is seated on the edge of the chair looking very stressed out. I gaze at him in pity for a while when he doesn't answer me.

"Dallas you need rest." I tell him. "Look at the heavy eye bags underneath your eyes."

He looks up at me, his face grim. "No. I know the police are looking for them but we can't just relax and let Talon get away with this. I in particular can't let that happen."

"So, what do you suggest we do?"

He thinks for a while. "Follow me." He gets up and I follow him curiously as he heads to his room. He takes his phone from his table and scans through his contacts for a name. I raise my head, staring at his phone in oblivion.

"Sit down on your bed so that I can see. You're unbelievably tall." I whine.

He chuckles and sits. Then I kneel behind him on the bed and put my arms on his shoulder, looking at the screen of his phone. I feel him shiver as my breath fans his ear but he maintains his focus on his phone.

"Now where could that number be?" he mumbles incoherently.

"What number are you looking for?" I ask.

"Aha, got it." he announces triumphantly. "Hello! Long time no see man. yeah, yeah it's me." He pauses. Then sighs.
"Xander. Look I need you to help me with something. The passcode to the website. I need you to give it to me. Please Pico I really need it it's urgent. For old times sake? Thank you."

"What passcode?" I ask him.

"Shhh." he shushes me and writes down the passcode on the back of one of his notebooks. "Thanks man. I really appreciate."

He then hangs up and looks up at me grinning. "We're getting somewhere finally."

"How do you know this guy?" Wow. I've been asking a lot of questions today.

"I may know one or two people that could help me so I called one of them." As he says that he puts on his computer and logs on to a website. Typing what he wrote down earlier, the website opens.

"I see." I nod my head in realization.

"This website will show me the exact location of the place that Alex and my mom are. Time to do some hacking." He smirks like some maniacal villain.

"How will it do that?" You ask too many questions Yvonne. I'm feeling excited and scared at the same time. "This feels like some detective movie."

"Just watch." he says chuckling. I peer into the screen and I see some sort of map. He zooms in and clicks on something.

"Give me Talon's number." I quickly take out my phone and check for Talon's number, handing it over to him.
