WITH HER. |Completed|

Ch 24 New path

It has been 3 days since Scar's breakdown and we have called up every person who knew Ace. We searched every place that we knew, it's like Ace Lenon disappeared to nowhere.

 Mike is still really upset but he is trying his best to help, whereas Scar is fully focused on finding Ace. She is the most determined that we will find him.

"Damn it! We searched everywhere, where the hell is he!" Mike banged the table. "Don't shout, raising your voice won't help us find him" Scar scolded him and he got up and went to his room, banging the door behind him.

I looked at Scar and she was re-reading the letter that Ace left for the 1000th time maybe. She thinks she can find some clue in it for finding him. She looks at me and worry is prominent in her eyes. I go and sit beside her and pull her closer.

"We will find him right?" She asks looking at me, her eyes on the verge of tears. "Of course baby," I say hugging her tight to me. "I should know it, I should. I have to find him Jacky!" She burst out crying.

After I calmed her down, we again began brainstorming places. "I am going where it all began.. I am going where it all began..what does he mean by that. He can't go to his mother. His mother passed away when he was 12."Scar blabbered. 

"What about his father?" I asked. "He would never go to that man. He hates him. That man left them because they couldn't make enough money." She said walking around the kitchen.

"But..but he always said that before he died, he would like to punch that bastard, straight across the jaw," she said and continued before I could answer. 

"Jack, that's what this means... I am going where it all started. He must have gone to meet him" she said and ran to Mike's room.

"Mike, I think I found him. Mike get out here" she banged on his door. Mike came out of his room. "I heard but do you know where to find his dad?" Mike asked looking at us.

" He lives in Maryland. He runs some sort of mechanics I guess. Luce Lenon. Not far from here right. If we start now, we can reach him by dawn." Scar says rushing to her room and returning with a backpack.

"Let's go," Mike says And I nod. I go home. Inform mum about this. She warned me that if I don't return with Ace then I am sleeping on the porch for the week. I have a good feeling about this, let's just hope that we find him and then a cure for him.

We drive and drive throughout the day. We took turns driving and stopped in between for food. I was driving now. I look in the rearview mirror and see that Mike was snoring softly. Scar was deep in her thoughts, looking out the window.

"Lioness, what's going on it that mind of yours now?" I ask and she looks at me and smiles. "I kept worrying about how we will find him, I never thought about how I would react," she says as the spark in her eyes escapes. 

"Don't worry that cute head of yours. When the time comes you will know how to react" I say and she put her arms through mine and rests her head on my shoulder.

Sun rays hit my eyes and I open them to see Scar behind the wheel and Mike eating a sub-sandwich. "How much longer?" I asked with squished eyes trying to get used to the bright light. 

"we are almost there. 10mins more. A guy told us that his garage is somewhere down this lane. So we should be there anytime now." She said and clearly she is the happiest she has been since Ace left.

We reached a place called Tools and Tricks. I scoffed at that name, like who puts such a name. We went inside and no one was there to greet us. We went further in the store and found a car there with two legs coming out of it.

" Excuse me, is Luce Lenon here?" Mike asked.
" and who is asking?" A rough voice came and the man under the car stood up. My eyes were literally out of its sockets.
