The Spy

Chapter 36

Alex's POV

    I sat in the room I was officially given at Jacob's house bored out of my mind. Jacob left town for a few days to go to a meeting and it was a three day trip. He should get back sometime next week. 

    It has easily been a week since I have gotten back from being kidnapped. Not a single phone call or text from that man. He told me in a week he would get a hold of me. 

    As I was sitting there I heard a ding on my phone. I rolled over to my iPhone 4 that laid on my bed. I picked it up and froze at the message.

   Meet me at starbucks. I will tell you everything you need to know ~M 

    This is the message I have been waiting for. Quickly I changed into something nice and rolled out of my room. As I got to the stairs I froze. Jacob is normally here to help me get down. Maids always brought me food and the bathroom is connected to my room so I never worried about getting down. 

    "Allie!" I yelled. I heard a loud hum in response. Thank god she is here. If she wasn't I would be screwed.

    "Can you come help me down the stairs!" I yelled. I heard a quick yeah before I saw her body emerge from her room that was across from mine. She smiled at me and grabbed onto the handles of my wheelchair. Slowly she helped me get down each step. Once she got to the bottom she smiled at me. When I went towards the door she stopped me.

    "Hey where are you going. Jacob told me to not let you leave the house." Wait. He told them not to let me leave. He is gonna get murdered when he gets back to town, let me tell you that. 

    "I am just going on a walk, well stroll to the town. It gets tiring staying locked up in the house all day. I just sit around and do nothing. It is so boring. I just want to go get some coffee." I said trying to get her feel bad for me. Yes I hate pity but this isn't real. I love staying in this house actually. It is great here. 

    "Fine but if you are not back by 4 I will send a search party for you. Don't even think I wont either. My brother would kill me if something happened to you." She said running a hand through her hair. I smiled at her. 

    "Thanks Allie." I said. She smiled at me and nodded.

    "I know how boring this place gets. Plus what Jacob doesn't know wont kill him right?" She said with a small laugh. A giggle escaped my lips and I nodded. She smiled at me one last time before leaving to go back upstairs. I sighed with a smile. I finally successfully lied to someone and they believed me.

    The trip wasn't very long. I got there in about 10 minutes. Even though it was cold out I was sweating. I haven't went this far on a wheelchair since I went to Jacob's house in the rain a week ago. 

    Getting into starbucks I noticed him easily. His face stood out more than others. He also was staring right at me. I rolled over to him, eager to hear what he has to say. As soon as I got close a fake smile made its way onto his lips. 

    "Hello Alex." He said, his accent sticking out completely. I smiled at him. 

    "Who killed my parents and where is my brother?" I asked. He laughed and shook his head.

    "Eager are we?" He said chuckling. I rolled my eyes and glared at him. He stopped laughing and put a serious face on. 

    "Your brother is in Australia. He lives in a small house on the coast. He has a daughter and a wife. I personally know your brother and so does that man of yours. Your brother hasn't forgotten about you either." My brother is in Australia. That is so far away. How am I ever going to be able to see him? This sucks, but at least he didn't forget about me. I guess that's a plus side.

    "Wait he has a wife? And a daughter?" I said confused. M nodded. My mouth fell open a slight amount.  

    "What about my parents?" I asked. As soon as he opened his mouth to reply my phone went off. I cursed under my breath before pulling out my phone. Allie's name in big letters showed up. I sighed and pressed the green accept button.

    "Hello?" I asked. I heard her sigh.

    "Did you not realize what time it was. Plus Jacob is going to be home in about a half hour. You need to get your butt back here now." She said then hung up. Jacob is coming home early. Oh my gosh yay! I looked over at M with an apologetic smile.

     "I need to get home before Jacob does. Do you think we could meet up again?" I asked him. He nodded with a small smile. For someone who kidnapped me, slapped me, then left me on the ground in an abandoned haunted amusement park, he has been really nice to me today. 

    "Thank you M for telling me everything." I said. He nodded.

     "Manny." He said. I raised an eyebrow at him. 

    "My name is Manny. Please call me Manny." He said. I nodded with a small smile. 

    I moved away from the table and left the store. The streets were oddly busy. People moved around me easily. In the distance I saw a girl with dark brown hair and sunglasses walking towards me fast. It looks as if she was running from something. She bumped into my and fell to the ground. Her sunglasses fell off her face and I froze at the persons face. 

     "Olive."
