Chapter 2: Following

Morgan's Pov

It had been a few days since I've noticed the changes. He had changed quite considerably since then. His hair was darker, almost black. He wore darker clothes and talked even less. He didn't show up to every orchestra class. left early every Thursday and didn't come back till Monday. Which was pretty odd. 

As I was eating I looked at Shelby and she looked like she was thinking too. I opened my mouth to speak but she beat me to it surprisingly. 

"Do you think he could be a criminal?" I choked on my food almost spitting it out. How could she ever think that in a million years?

"What? what gave you that idea?" I wiped my mouth of Mayo and she looked at me with that 'really?' look. I gave her the 'what's that look for?' look.

"The bruises. The cuts. His actions. The way he has started dressing. He's disappearing every Thursday and then not coming back the next day." Shelby stated. I thought about it and I shook my head.

"First of all, not Josh. Second of all, that doesn't prove anything. He could've just gotten angry at math homework and punched a wall," Morgan put her head on her palm while resting it on the table.

"I wouldn't be surprised. It's high school Morgan. Really, anything is possible at this point," She took another bite of her cheese pizza and I sighed. 

"We'll figure it out. I have been watching him. He leaves in a black van on Thursdays. We'll follow it on Thursday." I nodded and then Shelby almost choked. 

"Morgan! what the heck?!" Shelby yelled. She kept coughing trying to clear her throat.

"Don't you want to see what is going on? To see why he's changed so much in such a few days?" I exclaimed.

"Fine, but If we get caught I'm going to end you." She glared at me. Not shocked honestly.

"I'll let you." I laughed. I probably would if I was being honest.

It was Thursday and it was time. Shelby and I had made a fake call to the school saying they were going to pick us up at the same time he leaves. We waited for him to check out and then we checked out. We walked out seeing him get in the back of the van and we walked to a car seeing the car slowly driving out. 

"They're watching us. Stay calm, don't look at them." I said quietly looking at Shelby. She looked at me with a nervous look.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Shelby asked nervously. I nodded immediately. 

"Heck yeah. let's do this." I got to my Mitsubishi Outlander and got in with Shelby on the passenger side. I started it and pulled out beginning to follow the van a distance behind. When I noticed the cars slowly lessening I pulled over and parked at a parking meter and I got out.

"We can't go further. They'll know we're following. We have to go the rest of the way on foot." I sighed. Shelby got out and she looked at me terrified.

"Can we go back now? This place is practically deserted and it's dark and scary." Her pupils were dilated and she was shaking. I smirked. I knew just what to say.

"Okay, but I won't let you have my brownies at home." I started to walk away and Shelby yelled loudly. 

"You can't bribe me with food when my life is on the line!" She flailed her arms and I laughed. 

"No brownies! Oh, did I mention there is a cake?" I smirked as I saw Shelby join up beside me as we followed the road through the shadows. 'Classic Taurus' I thought as I kept walking.

We walked and saw a big port with a cruise ship. How convenient. I watched as him and a few others walked him into the ship. I waited a bit and saw nothing and then I sighed. 

"Shall we go in?" I asked. Shelby looked at me as if I was going insane.

"Are you crazy women?! Like hell I going in there!" Shelby whisper-yelled. I groaned.

"Next Thursday. we're going in." I nodded and Shelby threw her hands up in the air dramatically. 

"I quit!" She exclaimed.
