Saved

Chapter 17.

Unknown POV

"What have you found out about Alida?" I asked my assistant.

"Well sir, she's recovered very well from the incident. We followed her and found where she goes to school and she's currently living with her well "friend" you could say." He said with air quotes.

"What do you mean by that?" I frowned.

"Let's just say that friend of hers is very special to her. And she could be a problem when it comes to getting her. She's the one that saved Alida from the house and fought our last worker." I nodded slowly.

"Well then we would just have to take her out first. Do you have a name?" My assistant handed me a yearbook. I opened it and flipped through a couple of pages till I found a big red circle over a girls picture.

"Alexandria Green, I've heard that last name before I just can't put my finger on it. Get one of your guys to find out about her history."

"I could do that sir, that's what I'm good at."

"I need you for a bigger job."

"Which is?"

"What you haven't known is that I've been doing research too. I need you to find this girl and bring her to me. She could help us a lot in this mission."

"Name?" I handed him back the year book and pointed at another girls picture.

"Jasmine."

Alex's POV

Me and Alida didn't really talk for the rest of the night that night and we had small conversations for the rest of the week but that's about it. I'm not mad at her to be honest I'm just scared. But I can't let it get to me because I need to be strong and focused to make sure everything stays as it is now.

"Hey, I'm sorry about the other night. I should've took it more seriously. I wasn't thinking and the last thing I want is for you to be mad at me." Alida said.

"I'm not mad at you, it's kind of hard being mad at you if I'm being honest. I just wanted you to understand how serious that was. Speaking of the note, Sarah and her team are going to keep an eye on us 24/7 just in case."

"So where are they now?" Alida asked looking around.

"They're close enough to be able to see us without getting spotted. Now let's go." I grabbed her hand and lead her outside towards the car.

"Where are we going?" I waited until we were both in the car.

"We still have to finish that project don't we?" I started the engine and pulled out of the driveway.

"If you wanted to go on a date you could've just asked." She said. My heart quicken a little from her response and she started laughing at my face.

"Well I'm sorry to burst your bubble but Logan and Ash is coming with us."

"Ooo a double date." I felt my face get a little hot. We haven't really even talked about where our relationship stands but the time will come for that I guess. Don't lie to yourself Alex you're not going to do it.

"Alex! The light is green." Alida said snapping me out of my thoughts. I put my hand in the air to signal my apologies to the other drivers behind me and drove off.

"Wow who knew the famous Alex could get frozen up by some words." She joked.

"I'm not famous and those where not just words and you know it." I said pulling up to Ash' house and beeping the horn. Alida gave me a look that meant she was up to something.
