I know that you love me

MELISSA'S POV

I was on my way to class when I heard my name being called, "Mrs. Persch! Mrs. Persch!"

I turned around and Melanie and her friend Joy were running towards me. They stopped in front of me and bent down to take their breathes.

"We were searching for you all day, Mrs. Persch!", said Melanie as she straightened up.

I looked around, most of the students were in class. "What's wrong, girls?", I asked them getting curious.

"It's about Samantha. We think, no, we know that she's been doing some evil stuff", Joy said, taking out her phone.

"Let me explain, what we did, Mrs. Persch. We basically used Samantha's phone without her consent but the things that we found out are far worse than us using her phone. Joy, show her the pictures.", Melanie said as Joy put her phone in front of my face.

They both showed me the pictures of me and Julia and started telling me how they found her yesterday.

"Ahh and we found this super suspicious. We opened her Messaging App and we found this.", said Joy as she swiped to the next photos.

My jaw dropped as I took the phone from Joy's hands and started to scroll through the messages alone.

The more that I read the more that I understood. The messages were all sent by Brittney, Ken's ex.

That bitch! That's why Julia isn't talking to us! I have to tell Ken about this!

I returned the phone after I finished and I looked at the girls, "Thanks girls! You troubled yourself so much! But I think the best thing that you could do now is to let me and Mr. Roberts figure it out! Thank you again! You need to get to your classes now!", I told them with a smile.

"No need to thank us, we got suspicious and we decided to investigate!", said Joy.

"Yeah! And we wish you and Mr. Roberts all the best in catching that woman! If you need help, just tell us!", Melanie said.

I smiled at them and then we said goodbye and left.

I needed to talk with Ken ASAP!

---------------------------

I knocked rapidly on Ken's door six times before he opened the door with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Melissa! What are you doing here?", he asked and I just went into his house, straight to his living room and I sat on the sofa.

"I have a lot to explain so just sit your ass down.", I told him as I got comfortable in my seat.

He sat down and I explained what the girls told and showed me earlier.

"Brittney? Fucking hell! What are we going to do then?", he asked me after I finished explaining.

"Well, We definitely have to talk with her about this! She has to know that we know now but where is she?", I said.

"That I don't know. I have searched for her at some local hotels after work but I couldn't find her.", he said looking down at his feet, "Oh, I think a have an idea!"

"What is it?!", I asked curiously.

"I have a friend, Vincent, who just happens to be good at hacking and finding locations. Maybe we could ask him to track Julia's number!", Ken said feeling excited.

"Oh my god! Ken you are clever!", I complimented him and got up to go out the house with Ken.

---------------------------

"So, will you do it?", Ken asked Vincent, who was behind the bar trying to mix a drink for a customer.

"Yeah, I'll do it just give me a sec.", he told him.

He finished up the drink and then gave to the customer beside me. He then told us to follow him to a room behind the bar after telling his coworker to make the next orders.

The beginning of the room was filled of shelves with all sorts of alcohol but as we moved towards the back the furniture became more comfortable. There were clothing hangers, some sofas, a small kitchen, a TV and right beside all of that a desk in the corner where three monitors are set on it.

Vincent sat on the office chair in front of the screens, "Give ne her number", he said as typed away. Ken gave him and both of us got near enough to see what Vincent was doing.

And after a very long 10 minutes spent listening to the keyboard's and mouse's clicks, "Here, she's there", Vincent spoke out.

Ken and I quickly wrote down the address, thanked Vincent and headed out to go and find Julia.

I felt my heart skip a beat when I heard, "You've arrived at your destination". I looked at Ken and he at me with the same look on our eyes, 'We gotta get Julia back' and then we got out of the car ready to face it all.
