Ashley didn't come back, even after fifteen minutes... I regret the way I talked to her earlier, it's all my fault so I must fix my error.

I don't really know what to do... When I get up of my bed, my legs shiver, they can't support my entire body and my head is spinning...

I look one last time through the window and I see a 4x4 with Ashley and Cole inside it, they are leaving quickly...

(I need some help...)

(Aiden!!)

(Oh... Yeah, but he leaves in the other coast of Canada...)

(Doesn't matter, maybe he is in moving. I still should try to call him!)

Phone conversation
___

Aiden :
   Joshua? Oh, hello, how are you? I'm so happy that you are calling me haha...

Me :
   Yes... But I'm not doing really good you know? Ashley has been kidnapped by her brother and I don't know what to do!

Aiden :
   Really?! What happened exactly??

Me :
   We were arguing, and... I talked to her in a bad way. I asked her to leave me alone and I saw I offended her! Earlier in the morning, some sort of gangsters came to beat me up! And now my capacities to use my body properly are bad... I need you!

Aiden :
   I see... Where are you?

(Oh I forgot... I hope he's not in Vancouver!)

Me :
   Toronto.

Aiden :
   ... Why did you go to Toronto?!

Me :
   I don't even know!

Me :
   But if you're still in Vancouver that's fine, I don't want to bother you.

Aiden :
   No no, I'm in Toronto too.

(Is he kidding me?!)

Me :
   I'm in a hotel, it's Fairmont Royal York.

Aiden :
   Ok, I'll pick you up there!

End of the phone conversation

I get ready before Aiden picks me up. I dread about the way everything will take place...

Aiden sent me a message, he says he's on the first floor of the hotel, I must go.

Me :
   Where do we go?

Aiden :
   I don't know.

Me :
   You don't have something to track them?

Aiden :
   You are the spy, you should have something to track them...

Me :
   Right.

Aiden :
   We don't have much time to find her. Let me ask you a question. What car did they have?

Me :
   A 4x4.

He's mumbling something nearly inaudible and suddenly looks at me.

Then he goes out of the car for three minutes and come back with a tracker...

Me :
   Where did you find this?!

Aiden :
   In Ashley's car.

Me :
   They followed us... You're clever Aiden

Aiden :
   I know, I know.
