Daxton's POV
"Brandon! Daxton! Brandon! Guys!"
"Shut up Katie. My ears are gonna bleed." Jordan shouts at Katie who comes running into our secret hideout like a kid who just saw a dog dressed as a cow.
"Your pothole will be well shut up when you hear me out. Better get ready to be kissing up to me."
"Guys put a sock on it" Brandon says.
"Yeah. So, I was getting us coffee and some munchies when I thought I saw a familiar van but scratched off the thought" Katie said with frenzy hands.
"But, I saw the same van again while coming out of the store and also somewhat familiar faces. That's when it hit me and became conclusive."
"So what is the conclusion?" Jordan said leaning in.
Katie slapped her hands on the table and said, "Blackthorn is in the city and is on the move."
"Then that could only mean one thing." Julian said.
"It's 007 time"
~•~•~•~•~•~•~
"Katie are you sure it's the thorns' vehicle?" Brandon asked
"Dude there are millions of black vans out there. I say Katie is just confused with some other van. Besides that its been almost one and half hour that we have been searching for the van" Jordan said
"I'm telling you I saw the van and I'm sure its the same important van that the Blackthorn uses. It has a huge scratch on its side that splits into two. Stop nagging and drive."
"Why don't you drive instead. As you know everything."
"Guys... Guys... Stop arguing. I know the van too. I also remember it correctly. We are searching for the van that we need to search and follow." I say
It's the same van that had Kristen in it and the same van he tried kidnapping her for the second time.
We keep on searching for a few more minutes and go through alleyways with our eyes darting everywhere not missing the minute details.
"Is that the van?" Jordan asks squinting his eyes.
It was a black van that just turned in the street in front of us allowing a clear view and still stay unnoticed.
"Yes" Me and Katie both say in unison.
"Jordan, tail it discreetly. They shouldn't get the slightest hint that we are on their trail." Brandon instructed.
The van kept on going through the busy streets of the city, making it easier to stay unnoticed.
The van then started moving towards the outskirts towards the woody parts of the region.
"Turn off the headlights."
We kept on following the van within a safe distance when the van suddenly disappears.
"The heck??" Jordan slammed his hands on the steering.
"What now?" Brandon asked.
"I think we missed something. Like a turn. Let's turn around." Julian suggested.
We go through the same trail backward and stopped where we lost the car.
"That's weird. It just disappeared into thin air."
I notice that the mud trail is a bit roughed up on a certain spot on the edge.
"Wait" I said.
The car abruptly halts.
"Brandon follow me. Others, keep a watch for other incoming vehicles or people. No, it would be better if you get off this trail and wait at the opposite side of the entrance."
"But then you would have to walk a lot and there is no service here." Katie said concerned.
"We will be fine. Trust us. You all go and keep an eye open if something else happens" Brandon assured.
Katie was just about to say something when Julian put his hand on her shoulder and stopped her.
They shared a look and Katie said
"Fine, just be careful. I need you guys to come with me this new pizza shop that just opened."
I smiled and said "Aye aye captain."
We get off the road and start searching.
Brandon then stops and looks oddly at the trees. Even I stop and look at what he is looking at.
I suddenly noticed two trees with low lying canopies. It struck both of us.
We decided to follow our instincts and stealthily walk towards the suspicious-looking trees.
"Daxton, got your knife with you?" Brandon whispers.
I motion my hand towards my leg and pat it once to show that it's strapped to my leg.
We slowly get past the thick rough canopy cover trying our best to not make a sound.
And yes, instincts can be right and trusted too. In front of is the black van we were trailing.
I got closer to the van and run my palm over the scratch that makes the van stand out from others.
I turn around to call Brandon but he was not there. I go a bit farther into the woods in search of him.
Pssst.
What was that? An animal?
Pssst pssst.
I look around and nothing was there. I keep on moving.
Pssst. Pssst.
Ok, this is annoying now. I search here and there and gods knows where Brandon went and subconsciously I put my hand near my knife just in case.
Then a stone hit my head.
"What the --"
"Up here Daxton" Brandon whispered.
"What are you --"
He puts his index finger on his lips to silence me and motions me to climb up the huge tree.
I slowly climb up the tree watching my foot on where I step. A fall is what exactly I don't want to experience.
Brandon reaches out and pulls me to a sturdy branch behind a nice thick canopy cover.
We push the thick leaves aside which reveals a clearing a bit further than the base of the tree where we were.
Oh! Isn't this new news and obviously a piece of information to help us achieve our goal?
